CI was running only test_plugin_contract.py and test_version_consistency.py
(2 of 84 test files), masking 13 rotted tests across 4 clusters. The suite is
fully offline-safe (1402 tests in ~7s without network), so the narrow scope
wasn't gating integration flakiness; it was just stale. validate.yml now runs
`uv run pytest` against the full suite.
Engine fix: store.findings_from_report is rerank-first. ranked_candidates is
the primary persistence path; hackernews/polymarket are unconditionally
supplemented from items_by_source because they rank poorly but matter for
watchlists. When ranked_candidates was empty (rerank failed or skipped),
reddit, x, and every other source were silently dropped. The supplement loop
now falls back to all sources only when ranked_candidates is empty; the normal
path is unchanged.
Test repairs:
- test_store.py (6) + test_watchlist_commands.py (2): cascade from the engine fix
- test_get_new_findings_filters_by_date (latent): local-time vs SQLite UTC
flake — switched to datetime.now(timezone.utc)
- TestPollDeviceAuth (3): mock_time.time side_effect lists too short after
impl added a last_reminder call — padded timeout test, pinned others to
return_value=0 (loops terminate via urlopen, not the clock)
- test_bare_run_emits_web_promo: engine reads ~/.config/last30days/.env, so
a contributor's saved EXA/PARALLEL key made grounding "available" and
suppressed the web promo. Also missing X made the "x" promo preempt "web".
Set LAST30DAYS_CONFIG_DIR="", subprocess cwd=tmpdir, XAI_API_KEY stub.
