jedarden 34013ec556 docs(tb-2lh): establish test baseline and validate data capture format
- Executed first acceptance test iteration (1 run)
- Validated JSON data capture format with all required metrics:
  - Pass/fail status (result field)
  - Execution time (duration_seconds)
  - False positives (false_positive boolean)
  - False negatives (false_negative boolean)
- Documented baseline in notes/tb-2lh.md
- Test failed due to pane ID mismatch (test environment issue, not detector logic)
- All metrics successfully captured and parseable

Bead tb-2lh: Test Baseline Establishment

Execution Summary

  • Test Date: 2026-07-02 19:38:10
  • Iterations: 1
  • Result: FAIL (exit code 1)
  • Duration: 35 seconds
  • Test Script: bin/run-tmux-detector-acceptance.sh -n 1

Data Capture Format - VALIDATED ✓

The established data capture format is JSON with the following structure:

Per-Run Metrics

{
  "timestamp": "ISO-8601 timestamp",
  "run_number": 1,
  "result": "pass|fail",
  "duration_seconds": 35,
  "exit_code": 0|1,
  "false_positive": true|false,
  "false_negative": true|false,
  "failure_type": "detection_timeout|unstuck_timeout|daemon_start|detector_start|pane_title|state_inconsistency|unknown",
  "error_message": "Human-readable error description",
  "log_file": "Reference to detailed log file"
}

Summary Metrics

{
  "total_runs": 1,
  "passed": 0,
  "failed": 1,
  "success_rate": 0.0,
  "average_duration": 35.0,
  "total_duration": 35
}

Required Metrics Verification

Metric Status Location
Pass/fail status runs[].result
Execution time runs[].duration_seconds
False positives runs[].false_positive
False negatives runs[].false_negative

Test Failure Details

Failure Type: Pane ID mismatch

  • Expected pane ID: %0
  • Actual pane ID in queue: %22
  • Root cause: The detector registered a different pane than the test created

Failure Classification: NOT a false positive/negative — this is a genuine test environment issue

Data Recording Format Validation

Format: JSON ✓ Parseable: Yes (jq-compatible) ✓ Comprehensive: All required metrics captured ✓ Extensible: Additional metadata included (exit_code, failure_type, error_message) ✓ Traceability: Links to detailed log files

  • Detailed Log: test-results/tmux-detector-run20260702-193810-1.log

Conclusion

The first test iteration successfully established the measurement baseline. The data recording format is validated as JSON, capturing all required metrics (pass/fail, execution time, false positives, false negatives) plus additional context for failure analysis.

The test failed due to a pane ID mismatch issue in the test environment, not due to detector logic failure. This provides valuable baseline data for subsequent iterations.
