Go 1.26.5 maps each test binary's stdout and stderr to the same product writer. Teach the captured executor to share one open file description for byte-equal output paths, then make directory test products emit that one ordered capture on coordinator stdout. Build captures and inherited-stdio routes remain unchanged.\n\nKeep the executor mechanism, package policy, native Cstage/WWstage proof, and normative contract together so every commit preserves the observable test-output behavior.
Three same-cluster robustness holes. enumeratedir treated a failed
getdents64 (r<0) as EOF: a mid-walk error silently truncated the
package source list, and a first-read error was misdiagnosed as
"directory contains no WW package sources" -- it now routes the
caller's "cannot read directory" arm. run_test_bin's waitpid had no
EINTR retry and its return was unchecked, so an interrupted wait
left status==0 and reported a false test PASS (the do_run twin
already retried). The coordinator's pkgskipspace now also skips
/* */ before the package clause like the driver's sep_skip_space --
a source opening with a block comment built under ww but failed
coordinator discovery.
selfhost/, cmd/, internal/ join the tree-wide sweep: every section
banner dies (91 selfhost + the cmd C-style dividers -> 0); narration
and stale contracts deleted (pre-#22 bundler notes, retired
single-PT_LOAD and no-archive claims, superseded ABI tables); every
ref/harec/qbe cite, task cite, encoding/ELF contract, and rule-10
twin pointer kept; lost lifetime/rationale lines restored where the
sweep over-cut (elf_globals ownership, kwtab linear-scan). Comment-
only proven: all five wwstage tool binaries byte-identical across
the sweep; test-commit, test-byteid (161+1399, 0 pinned-divergent),
and test-bootstrap (fixed point + 991-995 byte-id) all exit 0.
The read-through banked 66 latent-bug leads (checkpoint).
Go compiles only _test.go files as tests; discovery now keys on the
_test.ww suffix alone. The line-leading-@test compatibility allowance
(noncanonical filenames admitted as test sources) is removed from both
driver stages and the coordinator. An @test declaration outside a
*_test.ww file is rejected loudly ("@test declaration outside
*_test.ww", wording byte-identical cs/ww) instead of silently running
under compose or silently dropping in a non-T build (#6). Tree audit
found zero real carriers; the two allowance fixtures flip canonical
(dep_test.ww, widget_test.ww). New pins: direnum attest-noncanon
reject row (both-stage stderr parity) and the coordinator
noncanonical_attest_rejected package row.
Go has no per-file test targets: the PACKAGE is the unit of testing
(`go test ./...`) and same-package test files compose together. The
59-target LIBRARY_TESTS fan-out (per-file -w workdirs, one Make rule
per suite) collapses to one line: `ww test -j $(JOBS) -w
out/wwbuild/wwtest-lib -I lib/ww lib/...` — the regex dir-route
precedent generalized. The lib/regex line and the per-file pattern
rule instance dissolve with it (test/lang keeps its own rule).
Measured before committing (-j4, strings edit row): old per-file
warm 4.7-4.9s; bare walk 5.2-5.6s — a real regression, so the
coordinator first gained the brief's persistent per-package workdir:
`-w DIR` on a package target forwards to wwpackage, which keys
DIR/<dir>_<pkg> per group and hands it to each inner `ww test -c`
build. Reuse stays entirely with the driver's existing
content-identity contract — the coordinator adds pure path policy,
no cache machinery. Both driver stages drop their package-target -w
rejects (forward instead); -w with -c stays rejected at the
coordinator (two ownership contracts). After: 3.9-4.0s on the edit
row, 1.0s warm no-op, 2.5s cold — faster than the old flow on every
row.
package_test's tree -w reject row becomes the positive contract
(cold+warm byte-stable stream, cs/ww same) plus the -c conflict
reject. libbyteid roster shape DECIDED: per-file fx entries stay —
every enrolled file is still standalone-buildable, so coverage is
byte-for-byte unchanged; the dir-mode entry form arrives only with
the B3 shared-helper split that first needs it. Docs: owner table,
target table, -w contract paragraph.
The last Open-driver-work bullet. `-c -o <name>` replaces the fixed
<package>.test stem for exactly one package; the coordinator rejects a
multi-package fan-out ("cannot use -o with multiple packages", Go's
`go test -o` rule) and -o without -c is rejected at the driver
("needs -c for a package target" — a plain run executes from the temp
root, so a caller-owned name has nothing to name). Both driver stages
byte-identical wording; -S keeps its single-file-only reject.
package_test gains the contract row (naming, fixed-stem absence,
artifact runs, both rejects, both drivers); the tree-mode -o row's
pinned wording follows the contract.
Single-directory package-test planner: discovers *.ww, groups white-box
and external <pkg>_test sources, composes the combined test package,
builds it through the sibling ww driver, and runs it with the runtime's
-package/-list/-timeout-ms contract. test/package holds its E2E corpus
and the manual runtime fixture set.
