Regression Checker

Type: L3 Worker Category: 5XX Quality

Runs the existing test suite to ensure no regressions after implementation changes.

Inputs

Resolution: Story Resolution Chain. Status filter: To Review

Purpose & Scope

• Detect test framework (pytest/jest/vitest/go test/etc.) and test dirs.
• Execute full suite; capture stdout/stderr for Story quality gate.
• Return PASS/FAIL with counts/log excerpts; never modifies Linear or kanban.
• Preserve full stdout/stderr output for downstream log analysis.

When to Use

• After code quality checks pass
• Code quality check passed

Workflow

Phase 0: Resolve Inputs

MANDATORY READ: Load references/input_resolution_pattern.md, references/ci_tool_detection.md

1. Resolve storyId: Run Story Resolution Chain per guide (status filter: [To Review]).

Phase 1: Execute Tests

MANDATORY READ: Load references/output_normalization.md

Read target project files if they exist: docs/project/infrastructure.md, docs/project/runbook.md

1) Auto-discover test framework per ci_tool_detection.md Command Registry (Test Frameworks section). 2) Get service endpoints, port allocation from infrastructure.md. Get exact test commands, Docker setup, environment variables from runbook.md. Runbook commands take priority over auto-detection (per ci_tool_detection.md Discovery Hierarchy). 3) Build appropriate test command; run with timeout (5min per ci_tool_detection.md); capture stdout/stderr. 4) Parse results: passed/failed counts; key failing tests. 5) Normalize + group failures: Apply references/output_normalization.md §1-§3 to test output. Group failing tests by error category (Import/Module, Assertion, Timeout, Type, Connection, Runtime). Report grouped: e.g., "3 Import errors in auth/, 2 Assertion mismatches in payment/". 6) Output verdict JSON (PASS or FAIL + grouped failures list) and add Linear comment.

Critical Rules

• No selective test runs; run full suite.
• Do not fix tests or change status; only report.
• Language preservation in comment (EN/RU).

Runtime Summary Artifact

MANDATORY READ: Load references/quality_summary_contract.md, references/quality_worker_runtime_contract.md

Runtime profile:

• family: quality-worker
• worker: ln-513
• summary kind: quality-worker
• payload fields used by coordinators: worker, status, verdict, issues, warnings, artifact_path

Invocation rules:

• standalone: omit runId and summaryArtifactPath
• managed: pass both runId and exact summaryArtifactPath
• always write the validated summary before terminal outcome

Monitor (2.1.98+): For test suite commands expected >30s, use Monitor. Fallback: Bash(run_in_background=true).

Definition of Done

• [ ] Framework detected; command executed
• [ ] Results parsed; verdict produced with failing tests (if any)
• [ ] Tracker comment posted with summary
