docs: describe the v2 test architecture
test-system-v2.md is the authoritative owner table and target graph; CLAUDE.md rule 13 moves from the sizelint gate to authoritative layout helpers and rule 14 names the new targets; PROJECT_PLAN.md is marked historical where superseded.

10. Symmetric stages. cstage and wwstage MUST emit byte-identical asm for the same input. When inference power differs, align the richer side DOWN to the leaner side, not the other way.
|
||||
11. Split commits when they bundle unrelated concerns. Bisect-cleanliness is the default. Multi-fix commits need a body paragraph explaining why they couldn't split.
|
||||
12. Simple data, simple algorithms. Sea-of-stars style. Mirror Hare's structural choices over clever alternatives.
|
||||
13. No hardcoded size literals in size-computation contexts. Always route through the type table (tinfo.size / Type.size / ty_*->size / size(T) / primtypesize / tyslicesize). Per Drew's framing of Hare's discipline. `make sizelint` enforces and runs as a dep of `make test`. Exemptions documented inline with `// sizelint-ok: <reason>` (ww) or `/* sizelint-ok: <reason> */` (C). Optional local enforcement: `ln -s ../../tools/sizelint .git/hooks/pre-commit`.

14. Test targets. Inner-loop dev runs `make test-unit` (~3.8s, skips wwstage-driver tests: 950, 990–997). Pre-commit runs `make test-commit` (content-keyed tier: the 10 pure gates — 950, 989_lib_byteid, 990–997 — report `cached` when the input key matches the last green full run; ~25s on a hit, full gate run on any miss; key = stage-binary md5s + tracked selfhost/lib/cmd/rt/test/examples sources + harness + Makefile; cache in out/.testcache, wiped by make clean; mtime keys and partial keys are vetoed). Pre-push runs full `make test` (~3:40 measured at f940072, all 353 incl. byte-id gates) — the bootstrap-correctness gate, never cached; never push without it green. test-unit is a fast confidence check on unit-level code (stages, stdlib, smoke); a green test-unit doesn't prove bootstrap, only that the unit set is intact. New wwstage-driver tests are no longer confined to the 950/990–997 range for correctness: T3 (test-perf arc) made every build's intermediates follow its OUTPUT (`ww build -o <stem>` / `ww run`'s per-pid temp) instead of landing next to every traversed source, so concurrent driver builds no longer race on `selfhost/cmd/<tool>/main.{s,combined.ww,o}` fixtures — the phase-2 byte-id group (incl. 993/995/950) now runs fully parallel. The 950/990–997 NNN prefixes still drive test/run's phase-2 membership, the `make test-unit` skip set, and the `make test-commit` cache set, so a heavy 43k self-compile gate should still use that range to be skipped by test-unit and cached by test-commit; a light wwstage-driver test may live at any NNN (just `-o`-redirect its intermediates off the source tree).

13. Authoritative size and layout helpers. Route compiler size and layout computations through resolved type metadata or canonical helpers (tinfo.size / Type.size / ty_*->size / size(T) / primtypesize / tyslicesize). Keep unavoidable external ABI and serialized-format constants localized and explain the contract they encode.
|
||||
14. Test targets. `make test` is the small developer gate: five in-process compiler units plus one compile-only C/WW compiler-fixture smoke case. `make test-compiler` owns the complete declarative compiler corpus and residual artifact/integration carriers; `make test-package`, `make test-lang`, and `make test-library` own package and in-language behavior. `make test-commit` composes those ordinary behavior suites but excludes byte identity, fixed-point/bootstrap, and platform gates. Run those explicitly with `make test-byteid`, `make test-bootstrap`, and `make test-platform`; `make test-all` is the exhaustive composition. Compiler-fixture subprocess coordination defaults to `JOBS=1`. There is no last-green cache or shell scheduler. A small-target result never proves bootstrap or byte identity.
