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.
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.
Go does not distinguish bootstrap observers from unit tests: an
in-process test is a unit test. 738 is pure parsefile calls (arena +
lexinit + parserinit, AST assertions, zero subprocess or artifact
claims) — the 200_parse class, misfiled among the residuals. The
fleet partition now reads six units / six bootstrap / three platform
and the residual class is empty; COMPILER_WRAPPER_SOURCES drops it
by the existing filter-out. Doc roster updated (also refreshes the
corpus prose to the current 1745/3490 pin and retires the stale
794-era 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.
Four ww tests carry the last eight native byteid carriers' assertions:
asmwindow (753 convwrap beta/main/alpha order + window polarity, 754
slice stride + negative scale scan, 755 amp-dot-idx four rows, 758
first-CALL-line extraction + tab-framed disp literals, direct
w6c/w6c_ww never ww build), freenoop (930 byte-id strengthened to
per-stream compare + negative 'free' grep), structabi (946 param/ret
MOVSD windows with polarity tables and SEND/RECV agreement), mangle
(989_m1mangle needles + concat byte-id, glob order strengthened to
byte-lexicographic). Dead want/stage_mask row fields documented, not
invented into runtime legs; the w6c_ww-absent skip gates drop because
the Make target declares the tools.
BYTEID_WRAPPER_SOURCES, its bins, and test-native-byteid are deleted —
the native byte/artifact partition is EMPTY (11 -> 0 this session);
docs counts move to 123 carriers.
25 renames (git mv, content untouched). _test.ww is what the package
coordinator's test detection and the sep loader's canonical exclusion
key on; the old *test.ww spellings survived only through the
line-leading-@test compatibility scan. Consumers updated in place:
LIBRARY_TESTS, the libbyteid roster, the 901/974/975/976 carriers that
copy or invoke these files, and the check.c/check.ww + path/ftos
comments that cite them. Closes the open-driver-work migration bullet.
test/byteid/wwi_test.ww carries every assertion of both carriers: the
M2 producer gate (ascii/strings/getopt driver-combined positives with
byte-id + wwdump -a re-parse, the synth decl-kind/type-node sweep with
the #47 @symbol round-trip, the #48 types export-def gate, and the
negative private-nominal leak with both-stage identical reject
diagnostics), plus the #11 wwileaf decl-less-leaf rows (package-line
leaf, cross-stage .wwi byte-id, importer resolution + .s byte-id).
Byteid carriers 10 -> 8; docs counts move; the byteid ww target gains
the wwdump prereq its re-parse legs invoke.
