Summary

  • add serial logical-row repeats under one shared fixture timeout while retaining per-sample command, CEL, metric, and process evidence
  • add generic finite numeric CEL extraction, mean/median/min/max/p95 aggregates, absolute thresholds, and direction-aware row baseline comparisons
  • finalize comparison-aware outcomes once per logical row and extend JSON/Pretty reporting without changing legacy fixtures that omit repeat and metrics
  • keep the integration generic: no Captain imports or hard-coded observation paths; the acceptance fixture emits structured JSON from a shell command

Validation

  • go test ./fixtures/...
  • go vet ./fixtures/...
  • GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=commit.gpgsign GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0=false go test ./cmd/gavel
  • go build ./cmd/gavel
  • JSON acceptance fixture verified one result per row, 3/5/2 retained samples, all five aggregates, both regression directions, explicit zero exit codes, and once-per-row callbacks
  • focused failure checks verified min/max threshold failures, missing/duplicate/zero baseline errors, metric-spec mismatches, CEL/metric outcome separation, ordinary sample failure continuation, and shared timeout exhaustion

Repository-wide caveats

A raw go test ./... is not green in this orb because its global Git config references a transient missing SSH signing buffer, history/date tests run against a shallow checkout whose newest commit predates their query window, and testrunner/ui expects an unavailable google-chrome executable. Signing-dependent cmd/gavel, commit, and todos/claude checks pass with the one-command signing override above; the affected fixture packages pass normally.

Closes #84

Walkthrough

Adds repeated fixture samples with per-row timeouts, CEL assertions, numeric metric extraction, aggregation, thresholds, and baseline comparisons. Adds cancellation-aware command execution and per-sample result reporting.

Changes

Repeated fixture metrics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and result contracts
fixtures/types.go, fixtures/metrics.go, fixtures/parser.go, fixtures/parser_ast.go
Adds repeat and metric configuration, typed sample outcomes, metric summaries, threshold validation, and parsing for repeat and timeout values.
Sample execution and evaluation
fixtures/expectations.go, fixtures/types/exec.go, fixtures/ansi_capture*.go
Separates command and CEL evaluation. Propagates contexts through piped and PTY execution. Terminates descendant processes when capture is canceled.
Metric extraction and comparison
fixtures/metrics.go
Extracts finite numeric values with CEL, computes supported aggregates, applies absolute thresholds, compares baseline rows, and derives metric outcomes.
Logical fixture orchestration
fixtures/runner.go, fixtures/types.go
Runs serial samples within one row timeout, aggregates sample outcomes, finalizes baseline comparisons, updates result nodes, and invokes OnResult once per row.
Documentation and examples
README.md, cmd/gavel/fixtures.go, fixtures/testdata/repeated-metrics.md
Documents configuration and adds repeated-metric and baseline examples.

Some valid and malformed fixture configurations can execute with unintended timeout or metric behavior, potentially producing incorrect fixture outcomes. These configuration regressions should be fixed before merge.

Add repeat and metric configuration to fixture frontmatter, command blocks, and table rows. Validate policies before execution and model independent command, assertion, and metric outcomes.

Extract numeric CEL values per sample, aggregate them, enforce absolute thresholds, and finalize relative baseline comparisons across logical rows.
Run repeated samples serially within one logical fixture task and its shared timeout. Retain per-sample process evidence, evaluate assertions and metrics independently, and publish results only after baseline comparisons are finalized.

Propagate task cancellation through piped and PTY commands, terminating process groups so timed-out samples cannot leave child processes running.
Exercise file-level and per-row repeat counts, all supported aggregations, CEL assertions, absolute thresholds, and lower- and higher-is-better baseline comparisons through the executable Markdown fixture suite.
Document repeat precedence, serial timeout behavior, metric extraction and aggregation, absolute thresholds, and relative baseline policies in the README and CLI help.

Inline comments:
In `@fixtures/expectations.go`:
- Around line 184-189: Update EvaluateCEL so the received expression is assigned
to fixture.CELExpression before the string and default non-boolean branches
format their failure messages. Preserve the existing boolean and error handling
while ensuring both affected messages include the expression text.

In `@fixtures/metrics.go`:
- Around line 54-58: Update FixtureTest.metricSpecs to preserve an explicit
empty Metrics override: distinguish a nil Metrics slice from a non-nil empty
slice, returning f.Metrics whenever it is explicitly set and falling back to
f.FrontMatter.Metrics only when Metrics is nil.

In `@fixtures/parser_ast.go`:
- Around line 541-544: Update the fixture frontmatter parsing around
parseFixtureDuration so timeout is decoded independently of the tolerant
frontmatter branch, matching the handling used for repeat and metrics. Ensure
every configured timeout, including wrong-shaped values such as sequences, is
either applied or returned as an error instead of silently falling back to the
default.

In `@fixtures/parser.go`:
- Line 187: Update the integer-timeout parsing logic around the
seconds-to-duration conversion to detect values that exceed time.Duration’s
maximum before multiplying by time.Second. Reject overflowing inputs instead of
returning a wrapped positive duration, while preserving valid timeout parsing
and existing validation behavior.

In `@fixtures/types/exec.go`:
- Around line 240-249: Update the process-start wait loop around process.Pid()
and the done channel to replace the runtime.Gosched() busy-wait with a short
blocking delay, while preserving the existing completion handling and PID-check
behavior.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 344: Update the README metrics entry to remove the dagger and avoid
presenting metrics as a table-column override. Do not change parser behavior or
introduce a table-cell format; document metrics only as the supported numeric
CEL extraction and threshold policy.

Command-block policy decoding could silently drop timeout values when the tolerant decoder rejected another field, while an explicit empty metrics list still inherited file-level metrics.

Decode timeout with the strict execution policy and distinguish an absent metrics override from an explicitly empty one.
