Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
Resolves issue #52786 (duplicate of #23938):
The `_build_outbound_payload` shortcut forced any message containing a
pipe table to ``msg_type=text``. Feishu readers then rendered the raw
pipe-and-dash source instead of a table. Empirically current Feishu
clients render markdown tables inside ``post``-type ``md`` elements
natively, so the downgrade branch had to go.
Two changes:
1. ``_MARKDOWN_HINT_RE`` now also matches a pipe-table header+separator
pair, so a table-only message is recognised as "has markdown" and
takes the ``post`` path. All previously recognised hints (headings,
lists, code, bold/italic/strike/underline, links, blockquotes, hr)
still match — verified by the existing 205 test_feishu.py cases plus
the new regression tests below.
2. ``_build_outbound_payload`` no longer special-cases `_MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE`
before the hint check. The hint check now routes table content to
`_build_markdown_post_payload`, which is the same path any other
markdown structure takes.
``_MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE`` itself is retained as a module-level constant for
external callers (import-path-sensitive tests, third-party consumers of
the adapter module) and continues to work for its existing uses.
Tests
-----
New: ``tests/gateway/test_feishu_table_markdown.py`` — four regression
tests:
- ``test_markdown_table_uses_post_not_text`` — pure-table content
reaches ``post`` (issue #52786 scenario).
- ``test_table_combined_with_other_markdown_does_not_downgrade`` —
prose + table + prose message keeps its surrounding markdown.
- ``test_existing_markdown_heading_still_uses_post`` — sanity guard:
the heading path is unchanged.
- ``test_plain_text_without_markdown_still_uses_text`` — negative
control: pure prose still goes to ``text``.
Verification
------------
``pytest tests/gateway/test_feishu.py
tests/gateway/test_feishu_table_markdown.py`` passes 209/209 (205
existing + 4 new), three consecutive runs.
Rollback
--------
``git reset --hard 44ddc552f5e054759a6970af8997ea588a9d81c9``
restores upstream main without the new test file.
