Add a whole-system stress test - #19
LouisHitchcock wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Testing the gate under load has meant ad-hoc scripts written per session, each covering a slightly different slice and none of them committed. This is the version worth keeping. It drives every significant HTTP path concurrently, over USB networking and WiFi at the same time where both are available, and verifies each response against its Content-Length rather than just its status. That check matters: the RNDIS transmit stall shows up as a body that stops partway through with no error raised, so a status-only check reports success on exactly the failure being hunted. The marshal RSSI endpoint is discovered from /races and included whenever a race has a stored trace, so the chunked response path gets exercised too. The endpoint mix is weighted towards large transfers, because small requests keep working right through a stall and will happily report a clean run while bulk transfer is broken. Heap is sampled from /status for the duration. That is the only in-flight health signal available during a USB run: the composite device's CDC serial console is unusable whenever RNDIS is active, so the serial diagnostics cannot be read while load is applied.

treated as empty RSSI history. Only emit the no-history message after discovery
completes successfully and confirms no history exists, ensuring recovery during
the workload still tests the marshal endpoint.
- Around line 194-195: Extend the argument validation near the existing

selected, require --workers to be at least 1, reject negative --delay values,
and require --heap-interval to be greater than 0. Report each invalid
configuration through ap.error() after parsing so execution cannot proceed with
an unusable test setup.
- Around line 155-176: Update the exception path in heap_sampler to append the
failed /status poll to stats.failures before recording stats.heap(-1, -1),
ensuring main() reports failure and returns a nonzero status when the heap
request fails.

Record marshal discovery failures as failures.
Line 131 treats a timeout, connection failure, malformed JSON response, and missing response data from /races as proof that no RSSI history exists. If /races recovers during the workload, the run can pass without testing the marshal endpoint.
Return the discovery error and retry or record it as a test failure. Do not print the no-history message unless discovery completed successfully.

Record failed heap polls in stats.failures. heap_sampler performs a reachable /status request, but its exception path only calls stats.heap(-1, -1). main() returns success when stats.failures is empty, so a failed heap poll can produce PASSED and exit status 0 even when the documented “any request failed” condition is met. Add the heap poll failure to stats.failures before returning.

Take the initial heap sample before waiting.
Line 158 delays the first /status request by --heap-interval. A run shorter than that interval has no heap samples. The report also labels the first delayed sample as start.
Poll once before waiting for the next interval.

Reject configurations that cannot run the intended test.
Line 194 accepts --usb without --bind, so fetch() can select the wrong interface. It also accepts --workers 0, which starts no workload workers and can report PASSED. A negative --delay terminates a worker with ValueError without recording a failure. A zero --heap-interval creates a continuous /status polling loop.
Validate these values with ap.error() after parsing.

Drives every significant HTTP path concurrently, over USB networking and WiFi at
the same time where both are available, and samples the device heap throughout.
Why it checks Content-Length
The RNDIS transmit stall shows up as a response body that stops partway through
with no error raised. A status-only check reports success on exactly the failure
being hunted, so every response is verified against its declared length.
For the same reason the endpoint mix is weighted towards large transfers: small
requests keep working right through a stall and will happily report a clean run
while bulk transfer is broken.
Other notes
/racesand included whenever arace has a stored trace, so the chunked response path is exercised too.
/status. That is the only in-flight health signalavailable during a USB run — the composite device's CDC serial console is
unusable whenever RNDIS is active, so serial diagnostics cannot be read while
load is applied.
--bindis required for USB. Without a source address the request can leavevia the wrong interface.
Verified
Smoke run against an AIO on both transports: 139 requests, 18.6 MB, no failures,
heap floor reported correctly.
