## The race, with evidence
Three PRs merged within 34 seconds on 2026-07-26. `Showcase: Build &
Push` has **no concurrency group** (deliberately), so all three ran
simultaneously and raced to push the same `:latest` tags.
| run | commit | PR | start → end |
|---|---|---|---|
| `30190815370` | `7b28934387` | #6162 | 06:18:05 → 06:29:44 |
| `30190823203` | `59f275eedc` | #6161 | 06:18:21 → 06:29:44 |
| `30190831480` | `db75a04837` | #6158 | 06:18:39 → **06:29:13** ←
newest, finished FIRST |
The newest commit finished first, so the older builds overwrote its
`:latest`. Per-service job completion times — older beating newer on
every shared slot:
| service | newer (`db75a04837`) | older (`59f275eedc`) | older won by |
|---|---|---|---|
| `shell-dashboard` | 06:25:33 | 06:25:34 | +1s |
| `showcase-harness` | 06:27:51 | 06:27:55 | +4s |
| `shell` | 06:27:17 | 06:27:28 | +11s |
| `shell-dojo` | 06:25:10 | 06:25:26 | +16s |
**All three runs reported `success`.** Staging served pre-#6158 code
while CI, the redeploy gate and deploy verification all looked clean.
Same failure class as #6171: a success that doesn't mean what it says.
## What I verified in YAML vs took on trust
Verified by reading the files / querying the API:
- **Tagging** — `showcase_build.yml` pushed `:latest` **and** `:${{
github.sha }}` in one `depot/build-push-action` step, in both the
`build` and `build-starters` matrices. **A per-commit sha tag already
existed**; confirmed in GHCR (`showcase-shell-dashboard` has digests
tagged `db75a04837…`, `59f275eedc…`, `d28384a2eb…`).
- **Nothing serialized the pushes.** No concurrency group; confirmed the
header comment states this is intentional.
- **Deploy consumes `:latest`** — `verify-railway-image-refs.ts` is the
SSOT assertion: staging is `ghcr.io/copilotkit/<repo>:latest` (mutable),
**prod is `ghcr.io/copilotkit/<repo>@sha256:<digest>` (already immutably
pinned)**. So this race is **staging-only**; prod was never exposed.
- **`Showcase: Verify Deploy` structurally cannot catch it.** It is a
health probe; it asserts no digest or commit provenance anywhere. Its
#6171 per-commit concurrency key is about *which run verifies*, not
*what image is running*. A stale-but-healthy service passes.
- **The racing runs build DISJOINT service sets** (see below) — I pulled
the actual job lists.
Taken on trust: nothing material. The issue description matched the API
on every point I checked.
## Why NOT a concurrency group
`detect-changes` builds a **per-push, path-filtered** matrix, so
concurrent runs build overlapping but **non-identical** service sets:
- `7b28934387` → ag2, agno, built-in-agent, claude-sdk-python,
claude-sdk-typescript, crewai-crews, langgraph-fastapi,
langgraph-python, langroid, llamaindex, mastra, pydantic-ai, shell-docs,
spring-ai, strands (**15**)
- `db75a04837` → crewai-crews, llamaindex, shell, shell-dashboard,
shell-docs, shell-dojo, showcase-harness (**7**)
`cancel-in-progress: true` would have cancelled the `7b28934387` run and
the ~10 services **only it builds would never have shipped** — trading a
stale-image bug for a never-shipped bug. Per [GitHub's
docs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/workflow-syntax#concurrency),
`cancel-in-progress: false` is no better: *"Any previously pending job
or workflow in the concurrency group will be canceled"* — with three
rapid merges the **middle** commit's build is dropped outright. GitHub
also does not guarantee FIFO ordering of queued runs.
Concurrent runs here are **not redundant**, so they must not be
cancelled.
**Re the #6171 interaction:** this design does **not** use
`cancel-in-progress`, so no build is ever superseded-and-cancelled and
the cancelled-slot notifier is never tripped by this change. That
interaction stays theoretical — deliberately.
## The design
Make the one shared mutable resource monotonic instead of serializing
the fleet.
1. The build step pushes **only** the immutable `:<sha>` tag, plus an
`org.opencontainers.image.revision` label.
2. A guard resolves the commit behind the current `:latest`, asks GitHub
`compare/<theirs>...<ours>`, and advances `:latest` (registry-side
retag, no pull) **unless ours is `behind`** — i.e. `:latest` already
holds a descendant and moving it would roll staging back.
**Fails open by design.** No `:latest` yet, unlabelled legacy image,
unreachable API, diverged history → advance. A stuck `:latest` is the
very failure being fixed, so it declines only on *positive proof* of
regression.
**Placement:** in `redeploy-staging` / `redeploy-staging-starters`,
immediately before the Railway pull that consumes `:latest` — not per
build slot. Those jobs already have Node (build slots do **not**, so
per-slot would mean an unpinned `npx tsx` fetch on ~50 parallel
runners), and deciding right before the pull makes the window as narrow
as possible. The image list is the **same matrix ∩ build-success
intersection** that decides what gets redeployed, so a failed build can
never move a tag.
Also adds `showcase_build.yml` to `showcase_validate.yml`'s trigger
paths — the new test asserts against that file's live text, and without
the path a PR re-adding `:latest` would never run the test that catches
it.
## Tradeoffs / what stays open
- **Residual sub-second TOCTOU.** GHCR has no compare-and-swap on tags,
so two runs reading `:latest` simultaneously could still both advance.
This narrows the window from the whole build (~10 min) to inspect→retag.
Fully closing it means retiring the mutable staging tag and pinning
staging to digests the way prod already is — a change to the Railway
image-ref SSOT contract, not a workflow change. **Recommended
follow-up.**
- **The guard is inert for one build per image.** Today's `:latest`
images carry no labels (verified: `showcase-shell-dashboard:latest` has
no `Labels` at all), so the first post-merge build fails open and
advances unconditionally — same as today. Protection starts from the
second build of each image.
- Failure to retag exits non-zero, redding the redeploy job and stopping
the deploy. That is intended: redeploying against a tag that did not
move is exactly the silent false green being fixed.
## Proof
**Red/green on the live YAML.** `advance-latest-tag.test.ts` parses the
real `showcase_build.yml` (extending #6171's `redeploy-guard.test.ts`
pattern). Reverting the workflow to its pre-fix state: **14 failed / 23
passed**. With the fix: **37 passed**. Full `showcase/scripts` suite:
**2382 passed, 73 files**.
**The load-bearing predicate, verified live against the real incident
commits:**
```
compare/db75a04837...59f275eedc => behind (older run arriving late → DECLINE)
compare/59f275eedc...db75a04837 => ahead (newer run → advance)
compare/db75a04837...db75a04837 => identical
```
**Label reading, verified against a real multi-platform registry image**
— `docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:latest` piped
through `extractRevisionLabel()` returns
`3010295ae7ff572de459987ad70db315a62ecd61`, matching `jq` exactly. The
platform-keyed shape is handled.
**Shell/jq transforms** exercised directly, including the empty-CSV edge
case (empty → empty, step skipped by its `if:`).
**Lint:** `actionlint` finding counts byte-identical to the pre-change
baseline (no new findings; the 11 pre-existing are unrelated). `zizmor
--min-severity low` with the repo config: **no findings**.
**Typecheck:** both new files are in `showcase/scripts/tsconfig.json`'s
include set and produce **zero** errors. Worth stating plainly: `nx
run-many -t check-types` **does not reach `showcase/scripts`** — the
project isn't in the nx graph and has no `check-types` target (there are
9 pre-existing type errors in sibling files, which is how I confirmed
it). So the typecheck above is mine, not CI's. The *tests* are gated:
`showcase_validate.yml` runs bare `pnpm exec vitest run` in
`showcase/scripts`, which auto-discovers the new file.
### What I could NOT prove
**I did not construct a real concurrent race on scratch branches.**
Doing it faithfully needs two builds pushing the same GHCR repo with
controlled finish ordering, which means merging to `main` — the only
branch the build workflow triggers on. No run IDs for a live race
demonstration; I am not implying one.
Unproven until this runs on main: that `docker buildx imagetools create`
retags cleanly under the runner's GHCR credentials, and that `npx tsx`
behaves in the redeploy jobs (it is already the established invocation
there — `redeploy-env.ts` — so this is low risk, not zero).
## Normal single-merge builds are unaffected
No concurrency group is added, so nothing queues or cancels. A lone
merge finds `:latest` at its own parent → `ahead` → advances, exactly as
before. Cost is one `imagetools inspect` + one `gh api` + one
registry-side retag per built service, in a job that already exists — no
extra job, no extra checkout, no change to build parallelism.
---
Branched from `db75a04837`; #6156/#6159 landed after, so this will need
main merged in before it goes green.
Probable conflict with the concurrent `git lfs pull` work in
`showcase_validate.yml` — my edit there is only the top-level `on:
paths:` list, so it should merge cleanly, but flagging it.
Six defects reported on staging. All six reproduce; five share one
cause.
## The shared cause
`built-in-agent/src/app/api/copilotkit/route.ts` maps **~20 demos to the
same prompt-less `createBuiltInAgent()`**. The reference wires each to
its own graph **and its own system prompt** (28 graphs in
`langgraph-python/langgraph.json`).
aimock replays a scripted tool-call sequence keyed on `userMessage` +
`context`, so D6 is green whether or not the model could have reasoned
its way there. This is `showcase/GOTCHAS.md` #8 verbatim — including its
stated "structural tell": *grep the integration's `route.ts` for demos
left in the generic fallthrough that LGP wires to a dedicated graph.*
## Per-defect
| Demo | Symptom | Root cause |
|---|---|---|
| `gen-ui-tool-based` | charts plot zeros | No prompt. The assistant
says so itself: *"I used placeholder values since no sales figures were
provided."* Nondeterministic — one run gave a real 0..220 axis, the next
`0 1 2 3 4` with no bars, which is how it passed review. |
| `gen-ui-agent` | wall of text, steps frozen at "step 1 of 4" |
`set_steps` + its `/steps` STATE_DELTA already worked; nothing told the
model to *walk* pending→in_progress→completed. |
| `subagents` | left panel always empty | `grep -rn delegations src/ \|
grep -v demos/subagents` → **no output**. Frontend reads
`agent.state.delegations`; the converter handles `/steps` and `/notes`
and has no `delegations` case. Chat works because the tools do run. |
| `declarative-json-render` | raw JSON for pills 2 & 3 | Intercepted the
SSE: **the wire is already one closing brace short** — nothing is
dropped in transport, and the client parser correctly requires a
balanced object. Pill 1 only works because the model copies the prompt's
worked example verbatim (`\$1.24M`, `+18% vs Q2`). Model-level JSON
enforcement had been removed with the note *"the system prompt already
enforces JSON-only output"* — it does not. |
| `a2ui-recovery` | 5 identical cards | Reuses declarative-gen-ui's
prompt with no "call once" constraint, while the pills literally ask it
to *"self-correct a malformed first attempt"*. The retry loop is
**inside** the tool and returns on first valid pass, so every supervisor
retry is pure duplication. |
| `declarative-gen-ui` | D4 though it works live | **The inverse case.**
Badges: `UI ✓ BE ✓ 1P ✗ D6 —` (*"gated — blocked by a lower rung"*). Not
a live bug — a fixture bug. See below. |
## The D4 cap (`declarative-gen-ui`, `a2ui-recovery`)
Both demos' secondary design-call fixtures gated on
`match.responseFormat: \"json_object\"`. That matcher **can never match
this backend**:
- The agent talks to the OpenAI *Responses* API, where JSON mode is
`text.format`.
- aimock has **no `text.format` handling at all** —
`responsesToCompletionRequest` forwards only a top-level
`response_format` (absent in 1.19.1, forwarded in 1.37.4), a key the
Responses API doesn't accept and this client doesn't send.
- So `effective.response_format?.type` is always `undefined` and
`router.ts` skips the fixture → the design call never matched → surface
never painted → D5 red, D6 never ran.
Re-keyed onto `match.toolName`, which aimock *does* normalize out of a
Responses request (`responsesToolsToCompletionsTools`): the outer call
declares `generate_a2ui`, the in-tool design call declares nothing.
Tool-less secondary fixtures moved last, because several pills' brief is
a substring of the pill text (`\"Build my Q2 revenue summary …\"`
contains `\"Q2 revenue summary\"`) and would otherwise win the outer
request.
## Verification
**Reproduced live** (staging, real LLM): the zero-axis chart plus its
self-incriminating message, the unbalanced JSON on the wire, and the
reference rendering the *same pill* correctly for contrast.
**Two mutation-verified test suites** — both fail with the fix reverted:
- `aimock-a2ui-routing.test.ts` drives aimock's **real `matchFixture`**.
On the old fixtures 14/16 cases fail with `no fixture matched the
secondary design call for brief \"…\"` — the D5 red, reproduced as a
unit test.
- `tanstack-factory.test.ts` covers the `/delegations` and `/steps`
deltas (3 delegation tests fail with the branch disabled; the 2 controls
still pass).
**No regressions:** `tsc --noEmit` is 61 errors before *and* after (all
pre-existing — `gpt-5.4` missing from the adapter's model union, zod
v3/v4 skew); oxlint clean on changed files; the repo-wide fixture
validator passes (858 assertions).
`text.format` was verified by reading the request mapping in the
**pinned** `@tanstack/ai-openai@0.15.6` → `@tanstack/openai-base@0.9.2`:
`modelOptions` is spread straight into `responses.create()`,
`validateTextProviderOptions` only inspects
`metadata`/`conversation`/`previous_response_id`, and the adapter sets
`text.format` itself only when an `outputSchema` is passed (none here,
so nothing is clobbered).
## What is NOT verified
**The four prompt/`text.format` changes have not had a real-LLM
click-through** — that needs an OpenAI key this environment doesn't
have, and D6/aimock cannot verify them by construction (that's the whole
point of gotcha #8). Reasoning is documented inline at each site. This
area has burned the repo before: a previous `response_format` attempt
made the call return an empty string "verified against real OpenAI",
which is why `text.format` — the Responses API's own param — is used
instead. **Worth a live click-through on the staging deploy before this
is considered closed.**
## Deliberate non-goals
- **`a2ui-recovery` only demonstrates recovery under aimock.** The
heal/exhaust branches need a designer LLM that emits invalid surfaces on
demand; a real one succeeds on attempt 1. The single-call constraint
fixes the 5-card bug and makes it honest; making recovery visible live
needs deliberate fault injection — a product decision, recorded in
`PARITY_NOTES.md`.
- **The reference pins `openai:gpt-4o-mini`** (`gen_ui_agent.py:92`).
Flagged, not touched.
## Docs
`GOTCHAS.md` gains built-in-agent as a second worked instance of #8
(including that the masking runs *both* ways, and that `1P ✗ D6 —` means
gated, not failing), plus the `text.format` and dead-`responseFormat`
traps. `PARITY_NOTES.md` records that the named-agent registry is
**not** prompt-neutral, and that any new `state.<slot>` needs a
converter branch.
Every affected cell was D6-green (or D4-gated) while the deployed demo was
visibly broken. The common cause is GOTCHAS #8: aimock replays a scripted
tool-call sequence keyed on userMessage + context, so the fixture answers a
question the model was never asked.
Prompt gaps — ~20 demos shared one prompt-less `createBuiltInAgent()` where the
reference wires each to its own graph AND its own system prompt. Adds
`createBuiltInAgent({ systemPrompt })` + `demo-prompts.ts`, ported from the
reference graphs:
- gen-ui-tool-based plotted zeros; the assistant said "I used placeholder values
since no sales figures were provided". Nondeterministic — some runs invented
real values, which is how it passed review.
- gen-ui-agent published its plan once then narrated, freezing the progress card
on step 1 of 4.
- a2ui-recovery painted five identical cards: nothing constrained the supervisor
to one `generate_a2ui` call, and the pills literally ask it to "self-correct".
The retry loop lives inside the tool, so supervisor retries are duplication.
subagents' delegation panel was permanently empty — the frontend reads
`agent.state.delegations` and no code emitted that slot. The converter now emits
a `/delegations` delta per sub-agent result (whole-array `add`, since initial
state is `{}` and strict fast-json-patch rejects unresolvable paths while
@ag-ui/client swallows the throw), and ports the reference's
`_MAX_CRITIQUE_ITERATIONS = 1` cap.
declarative-json-render dumped raw JSON for any prompt the model couldn't crib
from the worked example. Captured the SSE: the wire is already one closing brace
short, so nothing is dropped in transport — model-level enforcement had been
removed on the grounds that "the system prompt already enforces JSON-only
output". It does not. Restores it via the Responses API's `text.format`, the
param the removed `response_format` maps to, verified against the pinned
@tanstack/ai-openai@0.15.6 -> @tanstack/openai-base@0.9.2 request mapping.
declarative-gen-ui and a2ui-recovery were the inverse: capped at D4 (UI ✓ BE ✓
1P ✗ D6 gated) while working live. Their secondary design-call fixtures gated on
`match.responseFormat`, which aimock can never satisfy here — it has no
`text.format` handling and only forwards a top-level `response_format` the
Responses API doesn't accept. Re-keyed onto `match.toolName` (the outer call
declares `generate_a2ui`, the in-tool design call declares nothing) with the
tool-less fixtures moved last, since several pills' brief is a substring of the
pill text.
Tests (both mutation-verified — they fail with the fix reverted):
- aimock-a2ui-routing.test.ts drives aimock's real `matchFixture`; 14/16 cases
fail on the old fixtures with "no fixture matched the secondary design call".
- tanstack-factory.test.ts covers the `/delegations` and `/steps` deltas.
Typecheck unchanged at 61 pre-existing errors; oxlint clean on changed files.
NOT verified live: the four prompt/`text.format` changes need a real-LLM
click-through, which needs a key this environment doesn't have. Reasoning and
the exact request mapping are documented inline.
PR #6130 added `src/middleware.ts`, which sets the `x-pathname` header that
`src/app/demos/layout.tsx`'s `generateMetadata()` reads. That header is what
makes the layout actually call `loadDemoIndex()` — a request-time
`readFileSync(process.cwd()/manifest.yaml)`. The Dockerfile's runner stage
never copied `manifest.yaml`, so every `/demos/*` route now 500s with "An
error occurred in the Server Components render" (ENOENT), while the
statically-prerendered home page keeps returning 200.
On the dashboard that reads as "service is up, every cell pinned at D3": D4
fails on `page.type` waiting for `textarea`, D5 times out, D6 fails on
`waitForSelector('[role="textbox"]')` — the chat input never mounts because
the page is an error boundary.
langgraph-python hit this exact bug and fixed it with the same one-line COPY;
ms-agent-dotnet is the only integration shipping `middleware.ts` without it.
Adds a ratchet test over that invariant (mutation-verified: fails with the
COPY removed).
The auto-format bot reflowed both captured registry payloads. Harmless this
time — oxfmt only rewraps arrays, it does not reorder keys — but the whole
value of these two files is that they are verbatim `imagetools inspect`
output. A formatter in the loop means the next re-capture churns, and the
"this is exactly what the registry emits" claim stops being checkable.
Exempt the fixture directory in .oxfmtrc.json, restore the captured bytes,
and say so in the provenance comment so nobody tidies them by hand.
The previous suite was 37/37 green against a workflow that could not have
run at all: the guard step had no `packages: write` and no GHCR login, so
every `imagetools create` would have 401'd. Asserting that a step EXISTS
proves nothing about whether it can succeed. Each change below was checked
by reintroducing the defect and confirming the test goes red.
Registry-auth precondition (the miss that let the above ship)
- Both redeploy jobs must declare `packages: write` AND a `docker/login-action`
step for ghcr.io, ordered BEFORE the guard. Dropping either reds the suite.
The intersection, executed rather than restated
- The old test only checked that the string `images=` appears in the compute
step; swapping its jq for the full matrix — so a FAILED build moves
`:latest` — kept it green. The real `changed` shell now RUNS, against the
real ALL_SERVICES matrix read out of the workflow, and the emitted
$GITHUB_OUTPUT is asserted: a failed build is in neither set, and the
`skip_build` slot is in `services` but NOT in `images` (handing it to the
guard fails "manifest unknown" and blocks the redeploy for the whole fleet).
Same treatment for the starter lane.
Fixtures joined to real registry output
- `extractRevisionLabel` was pinned to hand-written payloads that were never
compared with reality. Since `readLatestRevision` maps every failure to
null, and null ADVANCES, a parser that silently never matches yields a
permanently-blind guard with a fully green suite. Both fixtures are now
verbatim `docker buildx imagetools inspect --format '{{json .Image}}'`
output (buildx v0.35.0), unformatted so key order survives: a platform-keyed
multi-arch image carrying the label, and our own `:latest`, which turns out
to be a bare config object with NO labels at all. The label key used in the
injection test is read from the workflow's own `labels:` input, so parser
and producer cannot drift apart silently.
Closed vacuities
- The `:latest` ban read one step's `tags` and was vacuously green on an empty
list. It now covers every tagged step plus hand-rolled `docker push`/`docker
tag`/`imagetools create`, and fails on an empty `tags`.
- The `cancel-in-progress` ban read only top-level config; a job-level
`concurrency` on `build` reproduced the exact harm and stayed green. All
jobs are checked now.
- `already-current` is keyed on the digest, matching the script.
- The unreachable `(null, "ahead")` row is labelled as the defensive
input-space case it is, and a new test pins that the real flow never calls
compare() with an unknown revision.
New coverage: classifyProbeFailure (incl. a REAL execFileSync timeout, and
the two precedence traps — gh's rate-limited 403 is throttling, not auth; a
registry's 404-with-denied is auth, not absent), readFlag, escapeAnnotationData
(a forged `\n::error::` stays inert), isDirectInvocation through a symlink,
the `::error` annotation on fleet failure, and the digest-mismatch advance.
Also: GITHUB_SHA / GITHUB_REPOSITORY are no longer shadowed in the workflow.
The runner exports both and the script reads process.env, so the old
assertions pinned a redundancy rather than a capability — removed together,
as the comment there required. Workflow-reading scaffolding duplicated with
redeploy-guard.test.ts is extracted and the YAML parse memoized.
`job.status` for a matrix slot is success|failure|cancelled, but the
per-slot writer laundered cancelled into `skipped` before publishing its
result, so a slot killed by `timeout-minutes` became indistinguishable
from one that legitimately never built.
That erased the only signal that could tell a partially-cancelled fleet
build from a clean one. GitHub's status functions cannot recover it:
`cancelled()` is documented as "returns true if the workflow was
canceled" (workflow-scoped, and FALSE for a leg-only cancel), and a
cancelled ancestor is not a FAILED ancestor so `failure()` is false too.
Add `cancelled` to the BuildOutcome contract, add `cancelledSet()`, and
have the aggregator publish `any_cancelled` + `cancelled_services`
alongside `any_success`. `successSet` still excludes cancelled slots, so
the redeploy intersection is unchanged — a slot that pushed no image
still cannot enter the redeploy CSV.
`generate-catalog.test.ts` pinned crewai-crews' wired-cell count at >= 30. Moving
`multimodal` from `features` to `not_supported_features` reclassifies that cell
from `wired` to `unsupported`, so the real count is 29 and CI's
`showcase/scripts` vitest failed.
The bound is a snapshot floor, not an invariant: the test's own comment says the
partial parity tier only requires intersection >= 3 with the reference's wired
set. 29 still clears that by a wide margin, so the floor tracks the manifest.
Updated to 29 with a note recording which cell moved and why, so the next reader
does not read the decrement as a regression.
## Mastra Partner Refresh — showcase finalization (OSS-381)
Bumps the showcase Mastra integration onto the **v1 bridge alpha** and
flips the
features it unblocks out of `not_supported`. Opened for CI to run the
D6/e2e
suite (local Docker daemon is wedged in the authoring env — see notes).
### Landed
- **OSS-382 (gate):** `@ag-ui/mastra` `0.2.1-beta.2` →
**`1.1.0-alpha.0`**.
- Alpha verified to ship all features (grep on dist):
`emitInterruptOutcome`,
`STATE_DELTA`, `observationalMemory`, `background-task`,
`tracingOptions`,
`getA2UITools`/recovery. Peers satisfied (`@mastra/core` 1.41,
`client-js`
1.23.2, runtime 1.61.2).
- `next build` passes (40 routes). Unit tests **identical to the beta.2
baseline** (13 pre-existing failures in `route.test.ts`'s error-path
mocks,
unrelated to the bump — proven by a stash+reinstall A/B).
- **OSS-384 / OSS-423:** moved into `features` (demos + e2e + aimock
fixtures
were already wired, gated on this release):
`agentic-chat-reasoning`, `reasoning-default-render`,
`tool-rendering-reasoning-chain`, `shared-state-streaming`. Added the
missing
`reasoning-default` / `reasoning-custom` manifest demo entries.
- **Parity:** `not_supported_features` now holds only `gen-ui-interrupt`
+
`interrupt-headless`, matching the **langgraph-python gold standard**,
which
quarantines the same two cells on an upstream `@copilotkit/react-core`
v2
resume-path hook bug (published-package fix, out of scope). The native
interrupt + RUN_FINISHED-outcome path ships in the bridge; the showcase
cell
is blocked by the same upstream bug, not the bridge.
- **OSS-424:** execution-tracing note (`tracingOptions` in / `traceId`
on
`RUN_FINISHED.result` out) added to the Mastra Copilot Runtime doc.
- **OSS-425:** GenUI `generative_ui` spectrum already at parity with
gold
(`constrained-explicit`, `a2ui-fixed-schema`, `a2ui-dynamic-schema`).
### Not in this PR (scoped, blocked, or pending)
- **OSS-422 a2ui-recovery**, **OSS-426 background-agents**, **OSS-427
observational-memory** — new demo cells. Reference material + build
plans
ready. OM additionally needs `@mastra/memory` ≥1.21.2 (repo pins
`1.0.1-alpha.1`; the on-stream async-buffering path won't fire below
that).
- **OSS-91 browser-use** — Mastra-only, non-deterministic (no clean

### Verification note
Local D6 could not be run: the Docker daemon's container-creation path
is wedged
in this environment (a trivial `hello-world` create hangs), and
unwedging needs a
Docker Desktop restart that would destroy a concurrent session's running
stack.
Relying on CI for D6/e2e. Everything above is build-level verified +
committed.
generate-registry.ts imports the catalog cross-join/flatten fold from
../harness/src/shared/catalog/catalog-flatten.ts, which does
`import yaml from "js-yaml"`. The generator's build/test environments did
not stage that file (or its module-resolution scope), so the fold could
not resolve.
- Dockerfiles (shell, shell-dashboard, shell-docs, shell-dojo): COPY the
shared catalog source + harness/package.json (its `"type":"module"` is
required so catalog-flatten resolves as ESM and its named exports bind)
and provide a node_modules for js-yaml resolution.
- generate-registry-pattern.test.ts (makeHarness): stage catalog-flatten.ts
and harness/package.json at the exact relative path the generator
resolves, and symlink the scripts node_modules onto the harness tree so
the ESM `import yaml from "js-yaml"` resolves.
- js-yaml + @types/js-yaml added to showcase/scripts (package.json and the
npm package-lock.json), and the root pnpm-lock.yaml regenerated to add
the matching importer entries for showcase/scripts (js-yaml >=4.1.1 via
the root override, @types/js-yaml ^4.0.9) so `pnpm install
--frozen-lockfile` stays in sync.
Add an emoji reaction to the original promote-notify init message
reflecting the net run outcome, so operators can see success/failure at
a glance without opening the thread reply:
success -> white_check_mark (checkmark)
partial -> warning
total -> x
The live workflow calls reactions.add on the init post (guarded on a
successful init post, warn-only on failure to mirror the thread reply).
The dry-run harness emits the reaction it would add, using a
byte-identical case mapping enforced by a new anti-drift bats guard.
Adds bats coverage asserting the emitted reaction name per fixture.
agno's declarative-gen-ui D6 cell failed turn-1 dom-missing: the aimock
fixture was keyed on the stale D5 prompts (KPI/pie/bar/status) while the
current driver sends the OSS-136 sales prompts, so the agno OUTER agent's
generate_a2ui call matched no fixture, aimock returned 503 (strict), and no
surface rendered.
Re-authored the fixture to the 4 sales prompts x 3 calls each (outer
generate_a2ui + inner render_a2ui + narration), mirroring the google-adk green
north-star (agno is the plain render_a2ui two-stage family). agno's inner
secondary call sends a HARDCODED user message identical across pills, so the
inner render_a2ui fixtures discriminate on toolName + context + a systemMessage
substring equal to the per-pill context phrase the outer injects (verified live
against the aimock journal).
Renderer/testid parity with the green cluster: added declarative-info-row
testid on InfoRow (turn 4) and a DataTable renderer with declarative-data-table
testid (turn 2). definitions.ts gains DataTable, Metric.trendValue, and an
z.unknown() PrimaryButton action. Backend system prompt updated to the
sales-analyst persona for live-mode steering. Bumped the aimock-fixtures
duplicate ceiling 297->300: the 4 inner render fixtures collapse to one
toolName=render_a2ui matchKey (matchKey omits systemMessage/context) but
aimock's router disambiguates them at runtime.
RED->GREEN proven locally on isolated D6 slots: control-plane RED
(state=red) with the stale fixture; control-plane GREEN (1 passed) + --direct
GREEN with all 4 turns' assertions passing after the fix; plus a live
Playwright pass through all 4 surfaces (metric x4/pie/bar, data-table/bar,
status-badge x3/metric x3, info-row/pie).
Pick and cancel resume the native schedule_meeting suspend tool with the
SAME toolCallId; the requests differ only inside the tool-result payload,
so the cancel resume previously hit the pick-confirmation fixture and the
assistant replayed "Booked: ... confirmed" after the user cancelled. The
"__cancelled" toolCallId gates on the Denied fixtures were fictional and
never matched.
aimock 1.37.0 (CopilotKit/aimock#299) adds a JSON-expressible
match.toolResultContains substring gate on the last tool-result message.
- gen-ui-interrupt.json: cancelled legs now gate on the real toolCallId +
toolResultContains "cancelled", ordered before the confirmation legs
- interrupt-headless.json: gained the same cancelled legs (the demo's
Cancel button had no fixture at all)
- aimock-fixtures.test.ts: matchKey learns toolResultContains; duplicate
ceiling 303 -> 305 (headless cancelled legs share exact keys AND
response text with the gen-ui-interrupt ones, one pair per pill)
- e2e specs: cancel tests now assert the Denied narration and reject
Booked/Scheduled, so the regression cannot silently return
Verified live against aimock built from source (fixture replay):
8/8 Playwright e2e across both demos, plus manual pick + cancel runs on
/demos/gen-ui-interrupt and /demos/interrupt-headless.
Commit uses --no-verify: this worktree's lefthook runner is broken
(pre-existing, see daa501daa); commitlint + prettier + the fixtures
vitest were run manually and pass.
Follow-up (blocked on aimock#299 npm publish): bump the vendored
@copilotkit/aimock pin in showcase/scripts/package.json and pull the
refreshed ghcr.io/copilotkit/aimock:latest.
Playwright-verified fixes for the Mastra demo validation round:
- aimock interrupt fixtures (gen-ui-interrupt, interrupt-headless): add
hasToolResult:false to the schedule_meeting suspend legs so the resume
request falls through to the toolCallId confirmation fixture instead of
re-matching the suspend leg (picker loop, duplicated intro). Mirrors
hitl-in-chat.json.
- aimock-fixtures test: ceiling 301 -> 303; the two suspend keys now
intentionally collide across the three mastra interrupt cells
(runtime-disambiguated by route/fixtureFile like existing aliases).
- browse-web tool: return the result OBJECT instead of JSON.stringify;
the bridge encodes once more so stringifying double-encoded the result
and BrowseResultsCard showed "0 results" despite a successful browse.
- reasoning-chain pill: "Roll a d20 ..." instead of "Roll a 20-sided die
..." — the d4 agentic-chat fixture shadowed the first leg under replay
(d4 loads before d6) and pushed reasoning a step late. Real-LLM order
verified correct.
- header-forwarding shim: default x-aimock-context to "mastra" when absent
so browser-driven demos replay against aimock instead of 404ing. Harness
header wins when present; real providers ignore it.
- docker-compose.local: make OPENAI_BASE_URL overridable via .env (default
aimock unchanged) so real-LLM cells like browser-use can be tested live.

Restore the 12 Python integration tools/ dirs to symlinks into
shared/python/tools. They had eroded to real, drifting copies via an
accidental stage_shared() leak (commit 534cd1efa7) — the structural root
cause of showcase divergence bugs. Symlinking re-establishes the single
source of truth; content is identical to shared (only render_a2ui naming
and the shared roll_dice/sanitize additions are adopted).
Add showcase/AGENTS.md documenting the 4 iron rules and the single-source
symlink mechanism, plus a validate-shared-symlinks CI guard (shrink-only
baseline) that fails on any NEW erosion.
Merging main into the branch pushed the aimock exact-duplicate count to 301
(main added cross-demo fixture aliases of the runtime-disambiguated-by-fixtureFile
kind, e.g. ag2 headless-complete/gen-ui-headless-complete). Verified the +4 are
NOT in the mastra context — the Partner Refresh's new fixtures introduce zero new
exact dupes. Ratchet the ceiling to match; 828/828 aimock-fixtures tests pass.
OSS-451 shipped because nothing linked a demo page's CopilotKit runtimeUrl
to the existence of the /api route it names. The only automatic pre-merge
gate for showcase/** is a Docker build, which compiles a page that
references a non-existent route just fine (runtimeUrl is an unchecked
string) — so the page-404-on-load class was invisible.
Add a static validator (validate-runtime-routes.ts) that, for every SHIPPED
demo (a demo listed in its integration's manifest `features`), asserts its
runtimeUrl resolves to a real route dir under src/app/api. Unshipped /
experimental demos (not in `features`) and not_supported_features are
skipped, so incomplete placeholders don't fail the gate — but promoting one
into `features` immediately starts enforcing it. A baseline file can
grandfather pre-existing violations; the fleet is currently clean (0).
Wire it into a new pre-merge workflow (showcase_validate-wiring.yml) that
runs on every showcase/integrations PR alongside the build check. Add it to
branch-protection required checks to make it blocking.
Regression test proves it flags the exact OSS-451 shape (shipped demo,
missing route) while passing existing/base routes and skipping unshipped.
Verified: npm run validate-routes -> clean fleet-wide; removing the 3
OSS-451 routes -> flags exactly those 3; full showcase/scripts vitest suite
(2151 tests) green.
Refs OSS-451
The mastra manifest declares three Mastra-only demos (background-agents,
observational-memory, browser-use) that were never added to the shared
feature registry, so generate-registry.ts rejected the manifest with
"Unknown feature ID" and the constraint validator rejected them as not
allowed by any declared generative_ui approach.
- Add the three features to showcase/shared/feature-registry.json.
- Allow them under constrained-explicit in showcase/shared/constraints.yaml.
- Update the generate-catalog cross-join count assertions (50 features x
20 integrations = 1000 cells; total_cells 980; LGP 50 = 37 wired + 1
stub + 10 unshipped + 2 unsupported) — the three Mastra-only features
are unshipped for every other integration.
The promote workflow's verify-prod job calls verify-deploy.ts directly
(--env prod --services <promoted set>) without #5752's --skip-ineligible
flag, so a known-but-ineligible service (harness-workers, probe.prod=false)
hard-errored exit 2 and crashed the gate AFTER a successful promote
(CI run 28333317081: llamaindex landed, then verify-prod crashed).
Generalize the eligibility filter into verify-deploy.ts itself rather than
relying on each caller to pass a flag: flip skipIneligible to ON by default
in the CLI (parseArgs). A known-but-not-probe-eligible service for the
requested env is now SKIPPED with an `N/A — not probe-eligible ... skipped`
status line and the eligible subset is probed. Works for ANY --env, so it
composes with #5752's staging path and fixes the direct prod-verify call.
When EVERY requested service is ineligible (e.g. promoted set is just
harness-workers), runVerify exits 0 with a "nothing to probe" note instead
of the vacuous-green FAIL — distinct from the empty-filter fault, which
still fails loud. Unknown (non-SSOT) names STILL hard-error on every path
(a typo is a real fault). Added --strict-eligibility to opt back into the
hard-refuse; --skip-ineligible kept as an explicit no-op for back-compat.
Red: `verify-deploy.ts --env prod --services harness-workers` crashed
exit 2. Green: same command skips (N/A) and exits 0. Mixed set
harness-workers,showcase-llamaindex skips workers and still probes (and
red-gates) llamaindex.
Layer (c) deploy-rollover config for the harness-workers fleet — pure
Railway config, no custom rolling-restart code. Declares overlapSeconds=45
(capacity floor: old deployment serves until new workers register+claim, so
no staleness dip) and drainingSeconds=180 (SIGTERM->SIGKILL window >=
PLATFORM_STOP_GRACE_MS so the layer-(b) 3s+90s composed worker-drain finishes)
for both prod and staging in the railway-envs SSOT, regenerates the JSON
snapshot, and extends the harness-workers drift gate so CI fails if either
field drifts between SSOT and snapshot. Documents both knobs, their rationale
(incl. that Railway's draining default is 0s = immediate SIGKILL), the
composition with drain layers a+b, and how to apply them (GraphQL
serviceInstanceUpdate / dashboard) in RAILWAY.md.
## What
Bundles the four code fixes from the 2026-06-26 showcase prod incident
remediation. (Prod config reconciles — fleet image promotes, worker
scaling, CVDIAG keys — were applied directly to Railway and are not
code; the post-incident debugging lesson shipped separately in #5727.)
## Incident context (why these exist)
Prod's coverage dashboard cascaded to a wall of red. Root cause was
**staleness, not a feature break**: the harness worker pool was starved
(a deploy-bounce + under-provisioning), so probe sweeps couldn't
complete within the staleness windows → cells aged out → rendered
red/BE✗ even though the apps were fine. Compounded by a `llamaindex`
container crash (per-request log flood tripping Railway's log cap) and a
2-day-stale prod image fleet. See #5727 for the debugging lesson, and
the Notion proposal below for the durable worker-reclamation redesign.
## The four fixes
1. **Dashboard stale-while-revalidate**
(`shell-dashboard/depth-chip.tsx`) — a passing (green) cell keeps its
color + a non-destructive `⟳` refreshing affordance during a re-probe
instead of flapping to grey; never-run stays grey; failure/regression
keeps its color with no spinner; staleness bound preserved. + a11y
(`role=status`, flag-gated regression label, `motion-reduce`).
2. **Family-silence grace window** (`harness/fleet/control-plane/*` +
dashboard banner) — a normal harness deploy's post-bounce worker drain
no longer fires a false "worker family silent" banner/alert (suppressed
within a `2×period` bounce grace keyed on the freshest worker
registration), while genuine silence beyond the window still fires on
both the Slack-alert and banner paths. No silent failure (PB-down →
grace disabled → real outages still alert).
3. **llamaindex per-request log gate**
(`integrations/llamaindex/.../route.ts`) — gates the chatty
`[copilotkit/route]` per-request logs behind `SHOWCASE_ROUTE_DEBUG`
(default off) so they can't flood Railway's log cap and kill the
container. Error logging untouched.
4. **SSOT worker-provisioning** (`scripts/railway-envs.ts` + drift gate)
— brings harness-workers replica provisioning under SSOT so prod/staging
can't silently drift. Models the **effective** field
(`multiRegionConfig.<region>.numReplicas`) +
`BROWSER_POOL_MAX_CONTEXTS`, declares current reconciled reality
(prod=staging=6 replicas, 40 contexts), with a CI drift-detection test.
## Review
7-agent CR round + 7-agent confirmation round → converged to **0 P0 / 0
P1**. Two post-CR fixes (SSOT effective-field model after discovering
`multiRegionConfig` is the live knob; re-anchoring a grace-edge test to
genuinely pin the 2× boundary) each re-confirmed clean. Suites:
shell-dashboard 92 + harness 63 + scripts 12 = **167 passed, 0 failed**.
No new tsc errors (pre-existing only).
## Notes / follow-ups (non-blocking)
- llamaindex log-gate is logging-only and untested (acceptable); the
chatty pattern exists in ~16 integrations incl. the gold standard — a
**fleet-wide log-flood gate** is a worthwhile follow-up.
- `freshestBounceMs` has two equivalent impls (harness `parseIso` /
dashboard `Date.parse`) — flagged for future lockstep.
- The D4/BE probe gate weakness (asserts `text.length>0`, which masked
the BIA outage) is being addressed in a **separate** PR
(`fix/d4-gate-tighten`).

The harness-workers SSOT modeled only the top-level numReplicas, whose drift
gate watched a field that does not drive the live replica count. harness-workers
is single-region (us-west2); Railway derives the live count from
multiRegionConfig.us-west2.numReplicas.
- WorkerProvisioning gains effectiveReplicas (= multiRegionConfig.us-west2.
numReplicas), the authoritative field the drift gate now asserts. Top-level
numReplicas is retained as a documented mirror.
- Declared values reflect current reconciled reality (verified live via the
Railway GraphQL environment.config staged-config read): prod and staging both
at effectiveReplicas=6 (parity achieved by B-reconcile scaling prod 3 -> 6 in
both the top-level field and multiRegionConfig). BROWSER_POOL_MAX_CONTEXTS is
40 on both envs (verified live).
- Regenerated railway-envs.generated.json; drift-gate test asserts
effectiveReplicas (RED-GREEN proven). RAILWAY.md documents multiRegionConfig
as the effective knob and the achieved parity.
Add WorkerProvisioning interface and workerProvisioning field to the
harness-workers ServiceEntry in railway-envs.ts. Declares current live
reality: prod=3 replicas, staging=6 replicas, BROWSER_POOL_MAX_CONTEXTS=40
per worker (both envs).
Worker model: 1-worker-per-replica (Railway runs one process per
container, keyed on HOSTNAME). HARNESS_POOL_COUNT is informational
only — not a fork factor. Authoritative concurrency knob per worker is
BROWSER_POOL_MAX_CONTEXTS.
Comments flag: staging config-field drift (Railway field=2, live=6) as
a follow-up item; and the prod/staging parity decision (prod=3 vs
staging=6) as deliberately deferred.
Extends emit-railway-envs-json.ts to emit workerProvisioning into the
generated JSON snapshot. Adds drift-gate test
(harness-workers-provisioning.test.ts) that fails if SSOT numReplicas
diverges from the committed JSON snapshot — no live Railway API calls.
Red-green-red-green verified locally.
Updates RAILWAY.md with the 1-worker-per-replica model, declared
values, manual apply procedure, and drift-gate reference.
The existing tooling is verify-only for numReplicas; applying a replica
count change to Railway remains a manual operation (Railway Dashboard or
GraphQL API).
_slot_ports_free consumed _slot_offset_ports via process substitution
(done < <(...)), so a die on an out-of-range/non-numeric slot exited only
the subshell — the loop read zero ports, any_held stayed 0, and the
function returned 0 ("all free"), silently defeating the port-conflict
guard for a bad slot. Capture into a variable with || die so the failure
propagates to the caller. Real-surface bats prove a bad slot now fails
loudly while valid-slot free/held behavior is unchanged.
Dry-run by default (lists the plan, changes nothing); --force executes,
--all ignores TTL/keep, --include-live opts into reaping a live-owner
target, <name|slot> targets one. Identifies harness-owned projects via
the slot-record / run-dir / showcase-iso<N> / self-id-label union, and
never touches the base 'showcase' stack or BuildKit resources. Real
docker bats prove dry-run/--force/--all + the base/buildkit guards.
A --keep'd isolated stack whose owning process had exited (but whose
containers kept running) was classified 'live' forever and never reaped,
leaking Docker stacks indefinitely. Introduce a start-time-verified
_owner_liveness probe and a new 'kept' state, an ISOLATE_KEEP_TTL (4h,
SHOWCASE_ISOLATE_KEEP_TTL-overridable) that flips an over-age kept slot
to 'stale' so the sweep reclaims it, a com.copilotkit.showcase.isolate
self-id label stamped by apply_isolation, a 'slots --reapable' filter,
and a macOS lsof COMMAND-truncation fix in the own-project port filter.
Real-surface bats cover the liveness false-positive and TTL reaping.
## Root cause
Prod's `harness-workers` fleet worker runs a **stale `showcase-harness`
image** because it had **no `prod` env entry** in the railway-envs SSOT.
- The worker (`serviceId c2aa8a0b-350e-4b76-8541-3012dfac41d0`, prod
instance `7c48ee43-6df4-457b-b977-10f1f1ac1680`, `HARNESS_ROLE=worker`)
consumes the shared `showcase-harness` image via `imageOf: "harness"`.
- `expandImageConsumers(names, env)` is **env-aware**: a consumer only
enters an env's redeploy scope if it declares that env
(`redeploy-env.ts:278` — `if (!Object.hasOwn(entry.environments, env))
continue;`).
- Because the worker modeled **staging only**, a rebuilt
`showcase-harness:latest` bounced the prod control-plane but **silently
skipped the prod worker**, which kept its stale **2026-06-19** image.
- That stale image bakes a **1-demo `registry.json`** for
`ms-agent-harness-dotnet` (only `beautiful-chat`). The hourly
`e2e_demos` driver runs on the worker → resolves 1 demo → writes only
`e2e:ms-agent-harness-dotnet/beautiful-chat`. The other 38 feature rows
never exist in prod PocketBase → `resolveD3.exists === false` → `UI`
badge omitted → broken D3 rung collapses the ladder → **D0**.
(d5/d6 populate fully in prod because the D5/D6 drivers enumerate from a
**compiled-in** script registry, not the `registry.json` data file —
only `e2e_demos` is data-driven, which is why only `UI` was affected.)
## Fix
Backfill the live prod worker as a real `prod` env entry in
`scripts/railway-envs.ts` (real serviceInstance ID `7c48ee43…`), flip
`gateIgnore` off, and set `gateValidated: true`. The env-aware `imageOf`
expansion now pulls the prod worker into the **prod** redeploy scope on
every `showcase-harness` rebuild, so it can no longer drift onto a stale
image.
Also regenerates `railway-envs.generated.json` (Ruby/jq boundary
artifact) and the golden behavior-preservation fixture, and updates the
two gate-count assertions (`gateValidated` services 40→41;
`harness-workers` removed from the gateIgnore set).
## Local RED → GREEN proof
Failure surface: the real `expandImageConsumers("harness", "prod")`
against the real SSOT must include `harness-workers`.
**RED** (prod env entry absent from SSOT — the bug):
```
× includes harness-workers in the PROD redeploy scope when showcase-harness rebuilds
AssertionError: expected [ 'harness' ] to include 'harness-workers'
at __tests__/redeploy-env.harness-worker-prod-scope.test.ts:31:19
Tests 1 failed | 1 passed (2)
```
**GREEN** (after adding the prod `harness-workers` env entry):
```
✓ includes harness-workers in the PROD redeploy scope when showcase-harness rebuilds
✓ still includes harness-workers in the STAGING redeploy scope (no regression)
Tests 2 passed (2)
```
Full SSOT-dependent suite (golden snapshot, emit-json, image-ref gate,
promote closure, verify-matrix, redeploy-env): **140 passed**.
## Note (out of scope for this PR)
This SSOT change ensures the prod worker is bounced on **future**
rebuilds. The currently-live prod worker still needs a one-time
redeploy/restart onto the current `showcase-harness:latest` (39-demo
registry) to immediately backfill the 38 missing rows; that is an
operational step, not a code change.
Port the google-adk a2ui-recovery demo to langgraph (python, fastapi,
typescript) and aws-strands (python, typescript). Each ships a dedicated
recovery agent, route, demo page/chat/suggestions, manifest entry, aimock
d6 fixtures, e2e spec, and QA doc.
Backend-owned recovery on langgraph via get_a2ui_tools / getA2UITools
(injectA2UITool=false); auto-inject recovery on the strands adapter path.
Heal stages an invalid-then-valid render via aimock sequenceIndex (the
toolkit validate->retry loop rejects the whole surface, so a single-pass
parse_and_fix heal is ADK-specific and does not apply here). Recovery
prompts are unique per framework and the fixtures carry no context match
field, so they fire for real browser (dojo) traffic, not just the harness.
Also harden the strands declarative-gen-ui composition guide to name the
exact catalog component (Metric, not MetricTile) and update the
generate-catalog + aimock-fixtures test expectations.
The prod `harness-workers` fleet worker (serviceId
c2aa8a0b-350e-4b76-8541-3012dfac41d0, instance
7c48ee43-6df4-457b-b977-10f1f1ac1680) runs the shared `showcase-harness`
image (`imageOf: "harness"`) but had NO `prod` env entry in the
railway-envs SSOT. `expandImageConsumers` is env-aware — a consumer only
joins an env's redeploy scope if it declares that env — so a rebuilt
`showcase-harness:latest` bounced the prod control-plane but SILENTLY
SKIPPED the prod worker, leaving it pinned to a stale 2026-06-19 image.
That stale worker image carries a 1-demo `registry.json` for
`ms-agent-harness-dotnet` (only `beautiful-chat`), so the hourly
`e2e_demos` driver running on it produced only 1 of 39 `e2e:` rows in
prod PocketBase. The other 38 feature rows were absent → `resolveD3`
exists=false → `UI` badge omitted → broken D3 rung → D0.
Backfill the live prod worker as a `prod` env entry (real
serviceInstance ID), flip `gateIgnore` off, and set `gateValidated:
true` so the env-aware `imageOf` expansion now pulls the prod worker
into the prod redeploy scope on every `showcase-harness` rebuild.
Regenerate the emitted JSON + golden fixture and update the two
gate-count assertions accordingly.
