This PR implements Phase 2 reliability improvements: - Remove the confusing "PR closed or updated" error that occurred when users pushed new commits to their PR - Tests queued for a specific commit now run for that commit regardless of subsequent pushes (new commits get their own test entries) - Properly deschedule and notify for actually closed PRs - Add `safe_db_commit()` helper that wraps commits in try-except with automatic rollback on failure - Convert all 25+ db.commit() calls to use safe_db_commit() - Provides consistent error handling and logging across all DB operations - Prevents silent failures that could leave tests stuck - Add `retry_with_backoff()` helper for transient failure handling - Apply to GitHub API calls (get_commit, get_pull, get_git_ref, etc.) - 3 retries with exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s, max 30s) - Graceful degradation when all retries fail - Eliminates confusing "PR closed or updated" errors - Reduces test failures from transient network issues - Improves database operation reliability - Better logging for debugging failures Addresses Phase 2 of issue #942. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

…ectations - Fix AttributeError when wait_for_operation returns a string instead of dict - Update test_gcp_instance to expect 3 calls (now that we don't cancel tests for updated commits) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
The test was expecting db.commit() to NOT be called when GCP instance creation fails. However, with the improved error handling, we now properly record failures in the database via mark_test_failed(), which calls safe_db_commit(). Changes: - Update mock return values to use proper dicts instead of strings - Change failure case to expect commit to be called (recording failure) - Add commit.reset_mock() between test cases for isolation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
Add tests for the new Phase 2 reliability improvements: 1. retry_with_backoff() tests: - Success on first try (no sleep called) - Success after retries with proper warning logs - All retries fail with exception raised - Exponential backoff timing verification (1s, 2s, 4s) 2. safe_db_commit() tests: - Success case (returns True, no rollback) - Failure with successful rollback - Failure with rollback failure (both errors logged) 3. mark_test_failed() tests: - Success case (db commit, GitHub update, logs) - Database commit failure handling - GitHub API failure handling 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Add tests to improve patch coverage: - retry_with_backoff max_backoff capping behavior - retry_with_backoff with custom exception types - gcp_instance handling of closed PRs - gcp_instance handling of commit-type tests (non-PR) - mark_test_failed success path returning True 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

This fixes a regression introduced in Phase 2 reliability improvements (PRs #943/#946) where tests would be permanently marked as failed when the GitHub Actions build hadn't completed yet. Previous behavior (before Dec 2025): - If artifact not found, just return silently - Test stays in "pending" state - Next cron cycle retries the test - Eventually build completes and test runs Regression behavior (after Phase 2): - If artifact not found, mark test as failed immediately - Test is permanently marked as "canceled" with ERROR status - No retry - test never runs even after build completes Fixed behavior (this PR): - Distinguish between retryable and permanent failures - Retryable: build in progress, workflow queued, diagnostic error - Permanent: build failed, artifact expired - Only mark as failed for permanent failures - Return silently for retryable failures (next cron cycle retries) Changes: - Modified _diagnose_missing_artifact() to return tuple (message, is_retryable) - Modified start_test() to check is_retryable before marking as failed - Added 8 comprehensive tests for retry behavior Fixes issue where Windows tests fail with "Build still in progress" when the cron job runs before the 40-minute Windows build completes. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
