Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
Follow-up hardening for the C13 log-noise cluster:
- plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py: clarify button resolution logged
the full chosen option text at INFO (choice=%r). Choice text is user
content — log the choice INDEX at INFO and the (truncated, %.100r)
text at DEBUG only. Widens #58478's principle: no message content
above DEBUG level anywhere in the adapter.
- tests/gateway/test_slack_log_noise.py (new): behavioral suite pinning
the cluster's invariants:
* catch-all ack registered AFTER every named handler (registration
order is bolt's dispatch priority — no shadowing);
* catch-all fires for an unsubscribed event type (reaction_added),
logs only a DEBUG line naming the type, and never logs content;
* named handlers still dispatch (message → _handle_slack_message);
* end-to-end inbound message run leaves NO message text or block
content in any adapter log record (caplog at DEBUG);
* #30185's event-arrival diagnostic is metadata-only;
* clarify resolution: INFO carries index/user only, text is
DEBUG-only (fails with the adapter fix reverted — A/B verified).
Content-leak audit of all 139 logger call sites in the adapter found
two above-DEBUG leaks: the clarify choice line (fixed here) and none
else carrying message text; remaining sites log error strings, URLs
via safe_url_for_log, ids, and counts. The block-extraction DEBUG
preview was already removed by #58478 (chars= length only).
