Reviewer's GuideThis PR prevents the shared coverage action's implicit 1,800-second cargo watchdog from pre-empting the 40-minute nextest budget by explicitly configuring a 3,300-second watchdog and 70-minute job timeout in both coverage workflows, documenting the four timeout tiers, and adding mutation-tested workflow contracts to preserve their ordering.

The sizing text is consistent with that: 40 m global timeout plus a one-minute termination allowance plus a fifteen-minute cold build, taken up to 70 m, and a job ceiling of 70 m + 15 m = 85 m. You did point at something real underneath it, though. The guide said the allowance was one minute and the contract held it as a constant, whereas the canonical section this repository copies says to take it from Title check — dismissing this one as incorrect against the repository it applies to.

The shared coverage action kills cargo after 1,800 s by default. Nothing here set that value and nothing mentioned it, so both coverage lanes ran under a budget this repository had not chosen, underneath a nextest global timeout of 40 minutes. A cold compile would have been killed with three quarters of nextest's budget unspent, and the error would have named cargo rather than the test still running. rstest-bdd hit exactly that failure on 2026-09-05, which is what prompted looking here. The build-test and coverage-upload jobs also had no timeout-minutes at all, so the outermost tier was missing as well as the third. Both lanes now set the watchdog to 3,300 s, sized as the 40 m global timeout plus a 15 m cold-build allowance because the watchdog covers the build and the global timeout does not. Both jobs get a 70 minute ceiling, the watchdog plus 15 minutes for the work either side of coverage, measured at 6 m 08 s before and 16 s after on run 33939048036. None of this binds today: the coverage step runs in under four minutes. The values are sized against the tier below rather than against current runtimes, so a growing suite or a cold cache does not quietly change which timer fires first. timeout_ordering_test.py asserts the ordering per job rather than across the repository, so the Verus job's 30 minute ceiling is not compared with the coverage lane's watchdog. Six mutations: removing the watchdog, setting it equal to the global timeout, removing the job ceiling, shrinking it below the watchdog, leaving coverage-main behind, and dropping the global timeout under the largest per-test allowance.
Review found a gap at the far end of the budget. A test already running when nextest's global timeout expires is allowed to finish, so a run can outlast that budget by the longest per-test allowance, 900 s here. The watchdog now covers the global timeout, the tail, and the cold build: 40 m + 15 m + 15 m = 70 m, with the job ceiling at 85. Whether that tail is ever reached or not, allowing for it costs nothing, because the watchdog only fires on an overrun. The tail is read from the file rather than fixed, so moving an override moves the requirement with it. The lane scanner took only *.yml. A coverage step in a .yaml file would have inherited the 1,800 s default without failing anything, which is the same silent-skip shape review found in the previous round. It now uses the shared workflow_paths() helper, which scans both. The per-job walk moves into its own function: CodeScene had the combined version at both the cyclomatic and the nesting threshold, and the job's ceiling is read once per job rather than once per step as a result. Both tables in the guide gain captions.
The previous round added a "running-test tail" on the premise that a test already running when the global timeout expires is allowed to finish, so the run could outlast that budget by the longest per-test allowance. I flagged at the time that I had not verified it. It is wrong. nextest's documentation says a global timeout follows its ordinary termination procedure: on Unix it signals the process group and waits slow-timeout.grace-period, five seconds in this repository, before killing it; on Windows termination is immediate and the grace period is ignored for timeouts. The term is seconds, not the 900 s I allowed for. The watchdog stays at 4,200 s, which the corrected rule reaches comfortably, and the contract now asserts the rule that is true rather than one that happened to give a safe answer. Both mutations still fail: a watchdog equal to the global timeout, and one covering the build but not the termination. Also drops the commas before two essential because clauses, takes the private helper's docstring to a single line, and says the non-coverage figures were read across three runs.
Three references to the old watchdog value survived the change that raised it: the comment above each job's timeout-minutes, and the sample watchdog message in the guide. A reader matching that message against a real log would not have found it, which is the whole point of quoting it. Also inserts the comma before the second independent clause about Windows termination, in the guide and in the contract's comment.
The canonical section this repository copies says to take the termination allowance from `slow-timeout.grace-period` where a repository sets one. This contract had it as a constant, which is the gap CodeRabbit named on the sibling change in rstest-bdd: a hard-coded allowance stops covering the case it exists for the moment a profile raises its grace period past it. No value moves. Every grace period here is five seconds, so the reading lands on the same 60 s floor the constant held. The floor is exactly why the reading needs its own tests. The ordering contract only ever reaches it, so deleting the reading entirely would leave the watchdog at 4,200 s and every assertion passing. `timeout_derivation_test.py` drives the derivation with configurations this repository does not have: a grace period above the floor, at it, below it, absent, and several profiles disagreeing. Fixes a latent defect the tests found. The per-test ceiling matched `period` as a substring, so `grace-period` satisfied it too. Five seconds against a 900 s override made that harmless here, but a configuration whose grace period exceeded every test budget would have held the global timeout to a ceiling no test can spend. The matcher now requires `period` as its own key. Three mutations, all caught: | Mutation | Failing test | | --- | --- | | termination floor set to zero | the floor cases | | the reading replaced by the floor | the largest-of-several case | | `period` matcher loosened to a substring | the grace-period case |
A regular expression cannot tell a commented-out line from an active one, so a `# grace-period = "30m"` left in the file would have inflated the termination allowance and failed this contract without changing anything nextest does. All three derivations now read parsed TOML. That removes the substring hazard the matchers were built to avoid as well: `period` and `grace-period` are distinct keys in a parsed table, so there is nothing left for a lookbehind to guard against. The reading gains what parsing makes easy. The per-test budget is `period` multiplied by `terminate-after`, since nextest warns once per period and terminates after that many of them, and overrides are scanned alongside the profiles they belong to, which is where the longest allowances live. Every multiplier here is one, so neither changes the answer against this file; both change it the moment somebody raises a multiplier or moves a budget into an override. The derivation tests now use configurations shaped as nextest accepts them, with the grace period inside the `slow-timeout` table rather than beside it, so the reading is exercised against the structure it will meet. One new case is the one the regular expression got wrong: a commented-out grace period is not a value. Three Hypothesis properties replace what examples cannot state. That a duration converts by its unit alone, over generated values and all four units. That the termination allowance is the larger of the floor and the largest configured grace period, with no third clause, including where a table sets none and where several do. And that the largest per-test allowance is the largest product rather than the largest period, which needs a long period beside a short one with a large multiplier to tell apart, and the generator produces that without anyone thinking of it. `hypothesis` joins the contract environment for them. Also wraps one prose line at 80 columns. Six mutations, all caught: | Mutation | Failing test | | --- | --- | | back to a regex over raw text | the commented-value case | | the multiplier ignored | the multiplier cases | | overrides not scanned | the override case | | termination floor set to zero | the floor cases | | the minutes unit factor wrong | the duration property | | the allowance takes the smallest grace period | the allowance property |
`_slow_timeouts` was a loop inside a loop doing two jobs: flattening each profile with its overrides, and picking the `slow-timeout` out of each. `_budget_sections` does the flattening, since a profile and an override are the same shape as far as this contract is concerned, and the reading is now one comprehension. Make the termination allowance two terms rather than a floor over one. It is the largest configured `grace-period`, or nextest's ten-second default when none is set, plus a fixed 60-second safety margin. The floor absorbed every grace period below a minute, so raising this file's five seconds to thirty would have demanded nothing more of the watchdog above it. The guide's arithmetic changes from 40 m + 1 m + 15 m to 40 m + 65 s + 15 m, still inside the 70 m watchdog. Mutations proven: ignoring a profile's overrides, ignoring the profile's own table, folding the two termination terms into a maximum, and dropping the grace-period default to zero. Each fails a named case. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QrjNTnTwM7FmWXe5KFPMPY
Both lanes sat at 85 minutes against a requirement of exactly 85. A ceiling equal to the sum it contains cancels the job at the moment the watchdog would have reported the overrun, and the report is the only thing that makes an overrun actionable, so equality converts a legible failure into a cancellation with no log. This job is always the cold writer, which is where that trade is least affordable. The ceiling is now 100, and `required_ceiling` carries the fifteen-minute margin as a term of its own. Resolve the watchdog from the step, then the job, then the workflow, as GitHub does. Both lanes set it on the step, so a reading that consulted only that scope agreed with a correct one against this tree and would have stopped agreeing the moment a lane moved the value, reporting a bounded lane as inheriting the action's default. Treat a blank value at any scope as a source that says nothing and fall through to the next. That is what a workflow writes when it interpolates an expression that resolved to nothing, and converting it directly raises before the contract can name the lane. Refuse zero and negative values: the shared action reads them as no timeout at all, so a lane carrying one has no third tier while appearing to declare one. The guide records the margin, the resolution order and the retraction of the 85. Mutations proven: returning the ceiling to 85, dropping the margin from the requirement, treating a blank source as a value, accepting a non-positive one, and reading only the step scope. Each fails a named case. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QrjNTnTwM7FmWXe5KFPMPY
Every other assertion here reads a lane's declared budgets and says nothing about whether the step runs. `if: false` on the coverage step or on its job would leave a lane that looks bounded and is not, and this contract would certify it; so would a plausible condition that quietly excluded the event the lane exists for. Neither lane carries a condition today, so both are pinned at none by coordinate rather than merely left unchecked. Pinning the value rather than testing for falsity is deliberate: YAML parses `false` to a boolean, and enumerating falsy spellings would miss the plausible ones anyway. The coordinates are compared both ways before the values, so a lane appearing without an entry fails rather than passing unexamined. The module had reached 698 lines against AGENTS.md's 400-line limit, so it is split along its seams: timeout_budgets.py holds the nextest arithmetic and the ceiling derivation, coverage_lanes.py the workflow reading, and the assertions stay here. ruff found a latent fault in the move: the empty-lanes message named COVERAGE_ACTION without importing it, so a contract that found no lane would have raised NameError instead of saying so. Proved by mutation: `if: false` on the coverage step, `if: false` on its job, a push-only condition on the job, and a coordinate dropped from REQUIRED_CONDITIONS each fail the new test and nothing else. The step mutation was re-run after the split. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QrjNTnTwM7FmWXe5KFPMPY
An override bounds the tests its filter matches; the profile's own slow-timeout bounds the rest. largest_slow_timeout_of reports the largest budget anywhere in the file, so deleting [profile.default]'s own entry and leaving the fifteen overrides behind still reported a comfortable number while every test none of them matched ran with no bound at all. Nothing here would have noticed. [profile.ci] declares no slow-timeout of its own and does not need to: nextest's other profiles inherit the default profile's own keys, so only the default's absence is a hole. Proved by mutation: commenting out the default profile's own slow-timeout fails the new test and nothing else. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QrjNTnTwM7FmWXe5KFPMPY
Two findings from the review, both correct. nextest parses durations with humantime, which reads a sequence of value-and-unit pairs and sums them: `2h 37min` and `1m30s` are valid, and so are the long and plural unit spellings. The parser here took one value and one unit, so it would have refused configuration the runner accepts and failed a repository whose timeouts were fine. It now follows humantime's grammar, including its whole-number rule: `1.5m` is not a shorter way of writing 90 seconds, it is a value nextest rejects, so the reading rejects it too rather than guessing. cargo-nextest treats an omitted terminate-after as no termination: the test is reported slow, once per period, and runs on. The reading counted that as a single period, so the ordering contract could certify a test nothing bounds. It now raises UnboundedTestError, and the no-multiplier-means-one case is replaced by three cases covering the unbounded form, including one where only an override omits it. Every table in .config/nextest.toml sets terminate-after, so no value here changes. Both files crossed the 400-line limit, so the duration reading moves to nextest_durations.py and its cases to duration_reading_test.py. Proved by mutation: restoring the single-pair regex fails eleven cases, including every composite duration; treating an absent terminate-after as one period fails the unbounded cases. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QrjNTnTwM7FmWXe5KFPMPY
The duration grammar was written from a belief about humantime rather than from humantime. Compiled against 2.4.0, the version cargo-nextest resolves through humantime_serde, it accepts a fractional value with whitespace tolerated around the point, so `1.5m` and `1 . 5 m` are both ninety seconds, and it accepts `wk`, `wks`, `yr` and `yrs`. This reader refused all of them, which is the fault the module exists to avoid: a configuration the runner is happy with, called broken here. The refused cases were measured the same way, and are now what humantime refuses: a point with no whole part or no digit after it, two points, a signed value, and a digit separator. `terminate-after` reached the arithmetic as `float(str(value))`, which read zero, negatives, fractions, `true` and quoted numbers as multipliers. cargo-nextest deserializes the field as `Option<NonZeroUsize>`, so each of those is a configuration that never loads. Zero is the dangerous one: as a multiplier it makes the per-test allowance vanish and every comparison above it passes against nothing. `_seconds` carries a single-line summary, as the standard asks of private functions, and a comma before an essential `because` clause is gone from the guide. The rebase onto main also picked up a red contract gate that neither side saw. #227 added the `**/kani_proofs.rs` rule set with a 77-character justification while #254 added the test requiring more than 80, and each was green before the other landed. The justification now says which exemptions the file inherits and why.

Correct the duration error diagnostic.
Replace “whole numbers” with wording that permits fractional values. _seconds
accepts 1.5m and 1 . 5 m, so the current error message describes a stricter
grammar than the parser implements.

For cargo-nextest 0.9.143, does slow-timeout = "60s"configure slow-test reporting without automatic termination whenterminate-after is absent?
💡 Result:
Yes, for cargo-nextest 0.9.143, setting slow-timeout = "60s" configures slow-test reporting without automatic termination [1][2]. In cargo-nextest, the slow-timeout parameter determines when a test is marked as "slow" and reported as such [1][2]. When provided as a simple duration string (e.g., "60s"), the underlying terminate-after property defaults to None, which means the test will not be automatically terminated regardless of how long it runs beyond that period [2][3][4]. To enable automatic termination, you must explicitly use the object syntax for slow-timeout and provide a terminate-after value (e.g., slow-timeout = { period = "60s", terminate-after = 2 }) [1][2].

Include scalar slow-timeout declarations in the unbounded check.
_slow_timeouts retains only mapping-valued declarations. In cargo-nextest 0.9.143, scalar slow-timeout = "60s" enables slow-test reporting but has no terminate-after, so it does not terminate the test. If a profile or override contains that scalar and another section contains a bounded table, largest_slow_timeout_of ignores the scalar and returns a finite maximum. Include string-valued declarations, raise UnboundedTestError, and add base-profile and override regressions.

The gap
The shared
generate-coverageaction wraps thecargoinvocation and kills it after a wall-clock budget, defaulting to 1,800 s. No workflow here set that value, and nothing in the documentation mentions it, so both coverage lanes have been running under a budget this repository never chose.Underneath a 40 minute nextest global timeout, that default is inverted. A cold compile would have been killed with three quarters of nextest's budget unspent, and the error would have named
cargorather than the test still running.This is not theoretical. rstest-bdd hit exactly that on 2026-09-05: a dependabot bump served 9 % of Rust compile requests from cache and was killed at 1,800 s with 1,894 of 1,897 tests complete. Its lane and this one differ only in how close they were to the edge.
The
build-testandcoverage-uploadjobs also declared notimeout-minutesat all, so the outermost tier was missing as well as the third.Values
slow-timeoutglobal-timeoutcargocalltimeout-minutesThe watchdog is sized as the global timeout plus a cold-build allowance, because the watchdog covers the build and the global timeout does not: 40 m + 15 m. The job ceiling is the watchdog plus the work either side of coverage, measured at 6 m 08 s before and 16 s after on run 33939048036: 55 m + 15 m.
None of this binds today
That is the point rather than an objection to it. The values are sized against the tier below rather than against current runtimes, so a suite that grows or a cache that goes cold does not silently change which timer fires first. Nobody would notice the inversion until it cost a run, which is how rstest-bdd found it.
Verification
tests/workflow_contracts/timeout_ordering_test.pyasserts the ordering by value, per job rather than across the repository, so the Verus job's 30 minute ceiling is not compared against the coverage lane's watchdog. It also requires every step invoking the coverage action to declare a budget, since one step losing its override reinstates the default.Six mutations, each caught:
maincoverage-main.ymlleft behindmake test-workflow-contractspasses at 199 tests, formatting and markdownlint are clean, and the spelling gate passes.Scope
Second of a set. rstest-bdd is
leynos/rstest-bdd#722, where the same watchdog actually killed a run. Those two are the only repositories in the estate whose nextest global timeout exceeds the watchdog; the rest inherit a default nowhere near their runtimes.Summary by Sourcery
Make coverage timeout tiers explicit and enforce an ordering that preserves actionable failures across cold builds and growing test suites.
