fix(test): derive batch trigger keys so a retry with the same idempotency key doesn't start every run again - #494
Retrying with the same --idempotency-key is how the CLI tells users to retry safely, but two batch paths
sent different trigger keys on the retry, so the server started (and billed) every run a second time:
test create-batch --run minted cli-batch-run-<random> per trigger, ignoring the batch key. It now
derives <key>:run:<testId>, mirroring test create --run's <key>:run. The create key itself is still
never reused for a trigger (that would replay the create response).
Several-id test run through a tunnel (--local, saved loopback environment, --all --local) used
the printed auto-minted key for the first test only and a random, never-printed key for the rest. Every
trigger key is now derived from the one key the user has, auto-minted (and still printed) or passed.
The server normally refuses a second run while a test's run is still in progress (409 run_in_flight), so
the duplicate is billed when the retry comes after the first runs finished — for example, a CI job
re-run after its first attempt timed out on the CLI side or lost its connection after dispatch, while the
runs completed server-side. With the same key, the retry now gets those runs back instead of starting and
billing new ones.
Key formats, all built by one helper, deriveIdempotencyKey:
Path
Trigger key
create-batch --run
<key>:run:<testId>
several-id test run
<key>:<testId>
either, routed through a tunnel
<key>[:run]:<clientId>:<testId>
A tunnel-routed trigger names its tunnel in the body, and the server refuses a reused key whose body changed
(IDEMPOTENCY_BODY_MISMATCH). Keeping the client id in the key means a retry through the same tunnel
(adopted with --tunnel-client) gets its runs back, while a retry through a new tunnel starts new runs,
since the old ones cannot reach the app without their tunnel. A key too long to fit its suffix within 256
characters is shortened with a SHA-256 digest of the full key, so distinct long keys never collide.
Verified with the built CLI against a fake API that implements idempotency replay, running create-batch --run --idempotency-key ci-build-42 twice:
before: runs started on the server: 6 (retry sent 3 new random keys)
after: runs started on the server: 3 (retry re-sent ci-build-42:run:test_f1 … and got the same runs back)
Also: the create-batch --idempotency-key help text and the create-batch section of DOCUMENTATION.md
say how trigger keys are derived, including the tunnel case. No new dependency, no exit-code or JSON
change.
test.test.ts: deriveIdempotencyKey appends the suffix to a key that fits (including the exact
boundary), and keeps two long keys that differ only in their tail distinct, within 256 characters and
deterministic.
test.create-batch-run.spec.ts: run keys are <key>:run:<testId> and never the create key; a retry with
the same --idempotency-key and a retry with the printed auto-minted key both re-send identical run keys;
a 256-character create key still yields distinct keys within 256 characters. The old test asserted the cli-batch-run-<uuid> format, so it is replaced.
test.environment-tunnel.spec.ts: a several-id run derives ci-build-42:<clientId>:a|b|c; a retry with
the printed auto-minted key re-sends the first attempt's keys; a retry through a new tunnel gets new keys,
none matching the first attempt's; create-batch --run through a tunnel scopes its keys to the tunnel.
test.local-batch.spec.ts: "prints the first automatic trigger key once" encoded the old behaviour
(printed key = first test's key, other keys random); it now checks that every trigger key is derived from
the printed one. The existing explicit-key test is unchanged and still passes.
Every new or rewritten case fails on main except the ones guarding behaviour main already had.
npm run test:coverage: 115 files, 4595 passed, 2 skipped; coverage gate met. ESLint warnings unchanged
from main apart from the one eslint-disable a new test needs for its temp file (existing spec pattern);
no security-lint errors on changed lines.
Other trigger paths already derive or reuse one key (test run single, run --all → one batch request, test rerun chunks <key>:chunkN, testlist run groups). test flaky mints a key per attempt on
purpose — each attempt is meant to be a new run.
Test ids are de-duplicated before a several-id run ([...new Set(testIdArgs)]), so two triggers never
share a derived key.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Batch and multi-test runs now use stable, test-specific idempotency keys, so retries with the same key and tunnel reuse runs. Runs routed through a different tunnel receive different keys.
Overlong keys are shortened while retaining a test-specific suffix.
Documentation
Updated test create-batch guidance to explain how run keys are derived and how retries behave.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The CLI now derives stable, bounded per-test idempotency keys for create-batch runs and local multi-ID runs. Tunnel-routed keys include the tunnel client ID. Tests and documentation cover key derivation and retry behavior.
The create-batch run path passes its batch key to runBatchRun, which derives a bounded key for each test. Tests cover explicit and generated keys, retries, tunnel IDs, and the 256-character limit. Help text and documentation describe the derived keys.
Local multi-ID key derivation src/commands/test.ts, src/commands/test.local-batch.spec.ts, src/commands/test.environment-tunnel.spec.ts
Local multi-ID runs derive each trigger key from the shared key and test ID, adding the tunnel client ID for tunneled tests. Tests cover retries using the same tunnel and keys using a different tunnel.
Issue 549 concerns CI dispatch of individual tests through a local tunnel. This change modifies idempotency keys for tunnel-routed per-test triggers, but does not address the issue’s concurrency, output, or skipped-test behavior.

Avoid collisions for long local-run idempotency keys.
--idempotency-key accepts 1–256 printable ASCII characters. For test a, the valid keys 'x'.repeat(254) + 'A' and 'x'.repeat(254) + 'B' both derive to 'x'.repeat(254) + ':a'. A later batch can therefore reuse the earlier trigger key and replay the earlier run instead of starting a new run.
Derive a bounded key that incorporates the complete base key, such as a digest plus the test-specific suffix. Add a regression test with keys that differ only in the truncated tail.
This is a narrow edge case because it requires an unusually long caller-supplied key. Classify it as minor. The digest change is localized, so the effort is low with high risk-reduction value.

Preserve the tunnel body across idempotent retries.
If a retry opens a new tunnel, its tunnelClientId changes while the derived trigger key stays the same. The trigger body then differs, so the server can return IDEMPOTENCY_BODY_MISMATCH instead of the earlier run. Make replay work when the tunnel client ID changes for both trigger paths without losing tunnel routing.

Thanks @Shubhdeep12, the key derivation is what we agreed on #492 and the tests fail on main as they should. main moved (0.16), so please rebase:
test.ts: main now has suffixedIdempotencyKey (same digest logic). Use it and drop deriveIdempotencyKey. Re-add your "with --run, each trigger key is derived from it" clause to the reworded --idempotency-key help, and regenerate the help snapshot.
test.environment-tunnel.spec.ts: main deleted the rerun test below your block ("keeps run receipts when an owned rerun is interrupted…"). Keep your tests; don't restore it.
DOCUMENTATION.md: an all-public several-id test run is now one batch request using the key as is; <key>:<testId> applies to tunnel-pool runs.
