Make test worktree-safe and interpreter-hijack-proof - #27
Conversation
- PYTHON := derived from the main checkout via git rev-parse --git-common-dir: bare make test now works from any worktree, and an exported PYTHON env var can no longer swap the interpreter (:= blocks env capture; explicit command-line override still wins) - conftest.py guards the editable-finder fallthrough: every repo package the tests import must resolve under the test root, so a module deleted or renamed on a worktree branch fails loudly instead of silently importing the main checkout's stale copy - test_dump.py also skips when host_app is absent (gitignored binary, never present in fresh worktrees; DISPLAY alone was a false gate under WSLg where DISPLAY is always set) - CLAUDE.md documents the worktree behavior and the dependency-branch limitation; the phase-1 plan's embedded Makefile block is annotated as superseded so it cannot be copied back verbatim
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe test workflow now derives Python from the main checkout’s shared virtual environment. Pytest validates that repository packages resolve from the current checkout. The dump test skips when ChangesWorktree testing
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The test safeguards can be disabled when Python runs in optimized mode, allowing tests to execute against stale code from another checkout and produce a false pass. This bounded correctness risk should be fixed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

I couldn’t find an indexed match for that exact query in jackthepunished/ternoise. The closest result suggests tests/conftest.py exists, but not the phrase “outside the test root.” (gist.github.com)

Use an explicit exception for the checkout guard.
Python removes assert statements under -O or PYTHONOPTIMIZE. Raise RuntimeError when root not in p.parents so the guard rejects stale imports in all interpreter modes.
