perf: only read the first 4KB of result XML files to check for <test-run>

[frostebite]

Closes #288.

results-check.ts read each XML artifact file in full just to check whether it looked like a NUnit results file (content.includes('<test-run')), then read it again via ResultsParser to actually parse it. For large test suites with sizeable XML files, or any non-NUnit XML files that happen to be sitting in the artifacts directory, this wastes I/O and memory unnecessarily.

Changes

Switches the initial NUnit-file check to read only the first 4KB via a raw file descriptor (fs.openSync/fs.readSync/fs.closeSync) instead of fs.readFileSync on the whole file — matches the fix already proposed and discussed on #286's PR thread, referenced directly from #288.

Also changed the non-NUnit-file case from throw-then-catch-and-warn to an early core.warning + return, which is what the referenced snippet does and is slightly clearer than routing an expected "not a NUnit file" case through the catch block.

Testing

• New test: writes a small non-NUnit XML file to a temp dir, confirms createCheck warns and skips it without going through the full parser.
• Full suite: yarn test — 78 pass, 0 fail.
• yarn build — ncc build clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Non-NUnit XML files are now skipped with a warning instead of causing validation errors.
  • Improved handling of result files to ensure resources are properly released.
• Performance
  • Result files are checked more efficiently before full processing, reducing unnecessary file reads.

Warning

Review limit reached

@frostebite, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 9 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The result checker reads only the first 4 KB of each artifact to detect <test-run>. It closes file descriptors reliably, warns and skips non-NUnit files, and adds test coverage for this behavior.

Changes

NUnit result validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded result-file validation src/model/results-check.ts, src/model/results-check.test.ts	The checker reads the first 4 KB before parsing, closes the file descriptor in finally, and warns and skips files without <test-run>. Tests cover temporary artifact handling, warning output, mocked dependencies, and cleanup.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 32faf

The PR reduces initial XML reads and skips known non-NUnit files, but the current check can still send similarly named files through the full parser, preserving unnecessary I/O and memory use; the test setup also needs a small environment cleanup fix. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded issues.

Third consecutive failure on this same job (each mode sequentially, windows-2022, 2022.3.13f1), identical signature each time: STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND (-1073741515) during Docker daemon startup, followed by license activation failure. Same pattern already confirmed as chronic pre-existing infra flakiness on #310 and #311 — not caused by this PR's code (a 4KB partial-read optimization with no Docker/activation-path changes). All other ~75 jobs in this run pass cleanly every time.

Stopping the retry loop here rather than continuing to re-trigger per notification. This is a maintainer-level Windows runner Docker-daemon-startup reliability issue, not something further retries or code changes on this PR will fix.

[frostebite]

Folding this into #313, which merges this branch with #311 onto one base so there's a single combined PR ready to cut as one minor release, instead of a pile of individual fix PRs. Closing in favor of that — all commits and tests from this branch are carried over intact.
