Backend Tests

Backend tests must preserve the runtime invariants they exercise without changing production execution topology.

Shared sandbox search contracts

test_sandbox_search_contract.py runs shared ls/glob/grep scenarios through Local, AIO, E2B, BoxLite, Tenki and OpenSandbox adapters. POSIX shell transports execute production commands against temporary files; AIO file RPCs use an independent filesystem-backed double. Do not substitute precomputed final search results or import another test module's private fixtures. Provisioning, live SDK compatibility, permissions enforced above Sandbox, and session lifecycle remain in their existing suites. Windows skips this POSIX execution tier explicitly.

Compare result names/content, errors and completeness, allowing documented root entries and directory suffixes to differ. First-stage cases use ordinary roots, positive caps and a plain literal pattern: ignored-root fixes (#5667), E2B literal metacharacters (#5627), and exactly-full local caps (#5491) have separate owners. Add those shared scenarios after their fixes land; do not encode known bugs as expected successful behavior or hide them with permanent xfails.

External system-role admission

poc_external_system_message_injection.py --help is the opt-in live reproduction and post-fix verifier; never run it automatically against an existing user's chat. test_poc_external_system_message_injection.py tests that CLI offline. test_external_system_message_boundary.py records model inputs with a fake model: the same regression must fail on unfixed admission and pass after rejection, without production-provider logging or interpreting model obedience as proof.

Scope-isolation benchmark

test_bench_deermem_scope_isolation.py exercises production admission and storage. Check persisted facts and user/history summaries for semantic safety, but only agent-local facts for routing. Failed updates must not become sealed observations; report and resume must reject failed or old-schema rows. Stub live models so these tests never need credentials or network access.

MCP claim fencing

test_mcp_task_repository.py covers same-worker reclaim during an in-flight release, poll/cancel snapshot, or notification completion. Use explicit events to pause the old operation at the persistence boundary, reclaim via the real repository, then verify the entire new row remains unchanged. Reclaiming before the old operation starts does not catch SQLite SELECT/ORM-flush races. Keep the old completion timestamp within its original lease so expiry cannot mask a missing token fence; always drain paused tasks and restore session patches.

Executor starvation tests

test_executor_starvation.py covers the deterministic starvation semantics from RFC #4560:

  • default-executor saturation and queueing;
  • cancellation of an awaiter while an already-started synchronous worker continues;
  • isolation between the asyncio default executor and DeerFlow's dedicated file-I/O executor.

Use explicit synchronization such as threading.Event rather than sleep-based timing thresholds for worker lifecycle assertions. Every test must release blocked workers and restore any process-global monkeypatches so teardown cannot leak threads or state into later tests.

Stress/soak testing, AnyIO worker instrumentation, Uvicorn multi-process behavior, and broad production executor redesign are separate concerns and should not be folded into these deterministic regressions.
