I found 3 release-confidence issues that look worth fixing before merging.

  1. Package-lock enforcement misses normal dependency version bumps
  • In .github/workflows/check-package-lock.yml, the detector only flags dependency-related changes when added diff lines contain keys like "dependencies", "devDependencies", etc. That means changing a version inside an existing dependency block, such as axios: ^1.8.0 -> ^1.9.0, does not set package_json_changed=true.
  • Result: the workflow can skip both the package-lock.json update check and npm ci --dry-run, so a stale lockfile can merge with a false green signal.
  • Files: .github/workflows/check-package-lock.yml lines 46-47, 74-98.
  • Fix direction: run lockfile validation whenever package.json changes, or make the diff detection understand edits within dependency sections rather than only added section headers.
  1. Active publish coverage now treats a returned UAL as terminal success without checking the real publish operation
  • In test/bdd/steps/api/publish.mjs, the step resolves status to COMPLETED whenever result.UAL exists, and I wait for latest Publish to finalize returns immediately on that synthesized status instead of polling /publish/{operationId} to a terminal state.
  • This is paired with test/utilities/dkg-client-helper.mjs forcing minimumNumberOfFinalizationConfirmations: 0, so the test is intentionally allowing an earlier exit condition than before.
  • Result: a publish flow can return a UAL after early acks / intermediate progress, but the underlying node publish operation can still be non-terminal or fail later; the current active scenarios would still pass.
  • Files: test/bdd/steps/api/publish.mjs lines 35-47 and 92-106, test/utilities/dkg-client-helper.mjs lines 14-20, test/bdd/features/publish.feature lines 11-27.
  • Fix direction: if an operationId exists, keep polling the node publish operation to COMPLETED/FAILED for release-gating tests instead of inferring success from UAL alone.
  1. Publish/update negative-path scenarios were weakened from specific validation checks to generic failure checks
  • The direct-call steps in test/bdd/steps/api/publish.mjs and test/bdd/steps/api/update.mjs now catch any HTTP error and collapse it to status: FAILED, and the feature files assert only FAILED.
  • Previously these scenarios were verifying a specific validation-path error (ValidateAssetError).
  • Result: unrelated regressions like a 500, auth failure, routing bug, or other server-side crash can now satisfy the scenario and appear green, which weakens CI signal quality on negative-path validation behavior.
  • Files: test/bdd/steps/api/publish.mjs lines 64-78, test/bdd/steps/api/update.mjs lines 20-34, test/bdd/steps/common.mjs lines 321-339, test/bdd/features/publish-errors.feature line 12, test/bdd/features/update-errors.feature line 12.
  • Fix direction: preserve and assert the expected error type or status code for these scenarios rather than treating any failure mode as acceptable.

I did not flag style/refactor issues. These are the places where the refactor appears to make green CI prove less than it used to.

1. Package-lock: validate lockfile whenever package.json changes,
   not just when dependency section headers are added. Catches
   version bumps within existing dependency blocks.

2. Publish polling: always poll the node operation API when an
   operationId exists instead of short-circuiting on UAL presence.
   Verifies the operation actually reached terminal state on the node.

3. Negative-path tests: restore polling step and specific error type
   assertions (ValidateAssetError) instead of generic FAILED check.
   Prevents unrelated failures (500s, auth errors) from satisfying
   the scenario with a false green.

I couldn’t perform the PR review because the workspace sandbox failed on every command invocation (bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted), so pr-diff.patch was not readable in this session. No findings are reported because I could not inspect the diff content.

Remove the naive "was lockfile also modified in the diff" check.
npm ci --dry-run is the proper validator — it fails when deps
are out of sync and passes cleanly for script-only changes.

I could not perform the PR review because the execution environment blocked all file reads (bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted), so pr-diff.patch was inaccessible. Without the diff content, I can’t produce valid line-anchored findings introduced by this PR. Share the patch content directly and I will return a full severity-ordered review in the required format.

This PR makes a large BDD test-infra refactor and CI reshaping, but it introduces one blocker around destructive Redis cleanup. The new node/bootstrap orchestration is more structured, yet a few safety checks were weakened, which can increase local test flakiness and make failures harder to diagnose. Maintainability is mixed overall: readability improved in several step files, but reliability guardrails regressed in key setup/teardown paths.

// Each node uses a per-node queue name (command-executor-node0, etc.); without
// flushing, old job schedulers and pending jobs survive across scenarios.

🔴 Bug: redis-cli FLUSHALL wipes every database in the local Redis instance, which can destroy non-test data when developers run BDD locally. Scope this cleanup to a dedicated test DB (FLUSHDB on selected DB index) or delete only the test queue keys by prefix.

🟡 Issue: This step logs a warning and continues even when shard sync never reaches the expected peer count, so I wait for nodes to sync and mark active can pass in an unsynced state and reintroduce flakiness. Fail the step on the final attempt instead of proceeding.

🟡 Issue: Killing randomly selected ports can terminate unrelated local processes. Replace this with explicit free-port probing/reservation (or only kill PIDs started by this test harness).

🟡 Issue: Unknown unhandled rejections are only logged and then execution continues, which can hide real node failures and leave tests running in a corrupted state. Re-throw or process.exit(1) for non-whitelisted error codes.

🟡 Issue: New singular error tags (@publish-error, same pattern in @update-error/@get-error) drift from existing npm scripts that filter on plural tags (@publish-errors, etc.), so targeted suites won’t run. Align feature tags with script filters or update the scripts to match.

The invalid publish/update requests are rejected at the HTTP routing
level (404) before reaching the operation pipeline, so the error type
is HTTP_404, not ValidateAssetError.

This PR significantly refactors BDD orchestration and CI, but it introduces blocker-level risks in the test harness. The new setup can wipe unrelated local Redis data and can mask real node failures by swallowing unexpected unhandled rejections in child processes. It also weakens test signal by allowing shard-sync timeouts to continue and by lowering signature requirements so publish can pass without real peer replication. Maintainability improved in structure, but reliability and coverage confidence are reduced by these changes.

🔴 Bug: redis-cli FLUSHALL clears every Redis DB on localhost, which can delete unrelated local data outside this test suite. Use an isolated Redis DB/index for tests and FLUSHDB (or delete only this suite’s key prefixes).

🔴 Bug: After adding an unhandledRejection listener, unknown rejections are only logged and no longer fail the child process, so tests can pass while the node is in a bad state. Re-throw or process.exit(1) for non-whitelisted errors.

🟡 Issue: This step only logs when shard sync times out and continues execution, which makes later publish/get checks flaky and non-deterministic. Fail fast here (assert.fail/throw) when maxAttempts is reached.

// publish arrives. Setting this to 1 ensures the publishing node itself (always in
// its own shard) satisfies the requirement.

🟡 Issue: Forcing minimumRequiredSignatures to 1 lets publish succeed without actual replication peers, so these BDD scenarios stop validating network replication behavior. Keep this at least 2 for multi-node scenarios or scope the override to tests that explicitly need it.

🟡 Issue: The new singular tag (@publish-error) is inconsistent with existing npm scripts that target plural tags (@publish-errors), so targeted suites won’t run. Align tags/scripts consistently (same pattern also appears in get-errors.feature and update-errors.feature).
