Make test suite runnable from clean checkout + cross-platform vram_detect
CI / build (push) Has been cancelled

runnable-test-suite (parent) — complete. Three sub-tasks all complete:

- make-tests-runnable: add requirements.txt pinning pytest==7.4.4, sweep all
  docs/prompts from bare 'python' to 'python3' (stock macOS/Windows ships
  python3), add idempotent .venv install block to scripts/install.sh, and add
  'from __future__ import annotations' to 3 dashboard modules using PEP 604
  union syntax at definition time so they import on Python 3.9+. The
  PEP 604 bug was caught by the streak verifier itself during implementation.

- vram-detect-cross-platform: scripts/vram_detect.py now branches on
  platform.system() for Linux/Darwin/Windows. macOS path uses
  system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType (Apple Silicon unified memory via
  sysctl hw.memsize; Intel Macs via 'VRAM (Total):'). Windows uses wmic
  path win32_VideoController get AdapterRAM with PowerShell fallback. Linux
  /proc/meminfo and nvidia-smi/lspci paths unchanged (regression test locks
  them). Added 14 local-LLM context-window entries (llama-3.1, qwen2.5,
  mistral, deepseek-r1/v3, glm-4/4.5, gemma-2, phi-3/4) with source-cited
  model cards. Added _probe_ollama_model() that runs 'ollama list' as a
  last-resort fallback. run_command() now wraps PowerShell cmdlets on
  Windows (['powershell', '-NoProfile', '-NoLogo', '-Command', ...]).

- vram-detect-cross-platform-tests: 11 new monkeypatched tests in
  tests/test_vram_detect.py covering Linux/Darwin/Windows branches for
  detect_ram and detect_gpu_vram, prefix-match for unknown model names,
  ollama probe, Windows PowerShell wrapper, and a LOCKED regression test
  for _detect_ram_linux(). All external subprocess/sysctl/wmic calls are
  mocked; no live hardware probes. Suite total: 235 passed, 0 errors.

Verified on this box: gpu_vram_gb 0 -> 32 on Apple M5 (32GB unified memory),
target context correctly jumped 12k -> 42k.

Subtask-2 implementation was authored by local LLM (gemma-4-26B-A4B-it
via headroom proxy @ localhost:8787). The 10-consecutive-clean-pass streak
verifier ran as the independent checker model (article #2/#9/#13 in
'WTF Is a Loop? Part 2'). One anti-spin rail fired: local LLM produced
inline branches where subtask-3 tests expected private _detect_ram_linux()
helper; extracted helper to match the test contract without weakening tests.

Parent + all 3 subtasks complete. Prior opencode-subagent implementation
of subtask-2 preserved in git stash for reference.

# IMPLEMENTATION — vram-detect-cross-platform-tests
Parent: `runnable-test-suite` (see PARENT_SPEC.md).
SPEC: `tasks/runnable-test-suite/subtasks/vram-detect-cross-platform-tests/SPEC.md`.
## File touched
- `tests/test_vram_detect.py` — extended with 11 new test functions + helpers.
No other file was modified.
## Test functions added (11)
| # | Function | What it verifies |
|---|----------|------------------|
| 1 | `test_detect_ram_linux` | `/proc/meminfo` parse → `(16_384_000, 8_192_000)` via `detect_ram()` with `platform.system()` patched to `Linux`. |
| 2 | `test_detect_ram_macos` | `sysctl -n hw.memsize` → `"34359738368"` → total_kb `33_554_432`, available == total. |
| 3 | `test_detect_ram_windows` | `wmic ComputerSystem` → `TotalPhysicalMemory=34359738368` → total_kb `33_554_432`. |
| 4 | `test_detect_gpu_vram_nvidia_linux` | `nvidia-smi` → `"24576\n"` → `(25_165_824, 25_165_824, 1)`. |
| 5 | `test_detect_gpu_vram_apple_silicon` | `system_profiler` Apple M2 snippet + `sysctl hw.memsize=17179869184` → total > 0, num >= 1. |
| 6 | `test_detect_gpu_vram_windows_wmic` | `wmic win32_VideoController` → `AdapterRAM=8589934592` → total_vram_kb `8_388_608`. |
| 7 | `test_lookup_model_context_unknown_returns_zero` | `_lookup_model_context("completely-unknown-model")` → `0`. |
| 8 | `test_lookup_model_context_prefix_match` | `deepseek-r1:7b` → `64_000`; `llama-3.1-8b-instruct` → `128_000`. |
| 9 | `test_detect_model_context_ollama_probe` | No config model; `ollama list` returns `llama-3.1-8b` → context `128_000`. |
| 10 | `test_run_command_windows_powershell_wrapper` | On Windows, `Get-CimInstance ...` is routed through `powershell -NoProfile -NoLogo -Command "..."`. |
| 11 | `test_detect_ram_linux_regression` (LOCKED) | Exact match `(32_768_000, 16_384_000)` for a 32GB `/proc/meminfo` fixture via `_detect_ram_linux()`. |
Counting parametrize cases: **11 new tests** (no parametrization used; each function
is a single case).
## Existing tests modified
None. All 9 pre-existing test functions (`test_lookup_model_context`,
`test_parse_token_value`, `test_extract_value`, `test_parse_config_model`,
`test_parse_config_model_skips_code_blocks`, `test_parse_vram_config_manual`,
`test_recommend_context_api_model`, `test_recommend_context_manual_mode`,
`test_extract_model_from_file_respects_10kb_limit`) were preserved byte-for-byte.
No diffs to existing code.
## Mocking strategy
Every external call is mocked via `monkeypatch.setattr` — no live subprocess,
`system_profiler`, `nvidia-smi`, or `wmic` invocation:
- `vram.platform.system` → lambda returning the target OS string.
- `vram.subprocess.run` → `_make_fake_run(responses)` mapping `cmd[0]` (or the
joined PowerShell string) to a canned `_FakeResult(stdout, returncode=0)`.
- `vram.shutil.which` → lambda returning a truthy name (or `None` for non-ollama
in the ollama probe test).
- `Path.exists` / `Path.read_text` → `_patch_meminfo` serves the fixture only
for `/proc/meminfo` and falls through to the original for any other path
(keeps `tmp_path` and pytest internals working during the test).
- `vram.Path.home` → `tmp_path` in the ollama probe test so the real
`~/.automaton/config.md` is never consulted.
Module-level multiline string fixtures: `MEMINFO_LINUX_16GB`,
`MEMINFO_LINUX_32GB`, `APPLE_M2_PROFILER`, `WMIC_VIDEOCONTROLLER`,
`WMIC_COMPUTERSYSTEM`, `OLLAMA_LIST`.
## Acceptance criteria
| Criterion | Result |
|-----------|--------|
| `pytest tests/test_vram_detect.py -v` exits 0, all new tests pass | PASS — 20/20 (9 existing + 11 new) |
| `pytest tests/ -v` exits 0 | PASS — 235 passed, 0 errors |
| Streak: 10 consecutive clean `pytest tests/ -v` runs | PASS — `STREAK_COMPLETE attempt=1 clean=10/10` |
| No live subprocess against real hardware | PASS — every `subprocess.run` / `shutil.which` / `Path` I/O patched |
| Every new test < 500ms | PASS — entire file 0.01s; slowest 60 durations < 0.005s |
| No `pytest.mark.skip` | PASS — none used |
| No new deps | PASS — stdlib + pytest only |
| Did NOT touch `scripts/vram_detect.py` | CONFIRMED — only `tests/test_vram_detect.py` edited |
## Final pass counts
- Baseline (`tests/test_vram_detect.py`): 9 passed.
- After implementation (`tests/test_vram_detect.py`): 20 passed (+11).
- Full suite baseline: 224 passed.
- Full suite after: **235 passed** (+11), 0 errors, 0 skipped.

# Parent Task: runnable-test-suite
This is the parent SPEC for the runnable-test-suite task. Each sub-task references
this for context, scope boundaries, and the parent acceptance contract.
## Parent Goal
Make `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` pass from a clean checkout of `~/.automaton`,
with deterministic Python deps pinned and docs that reflect the actual interpreter
on stock macOS/Windows/Linux. In the same wave, make `scripts/vram_detect.py`
cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) — the existing version was developed on
Cachyos and only fully works on Linux.
## Parent Acceptance Contract
1. `pip3 install -r requirements.txt` succeeds on stock macOS CommandLineTools + pip3.
2. `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` exits 0 from a clean clone, zero `error` lines.
3. **Streak verifier:** 10 consecutive clean `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` runs with
no edits between runs. A single failure resets the count. Cap: 5 attempts.
4. `python3 -m py_compile automaton/**/*.py automaton/dashboard/**/*.py scripts/*.py` exits 0.
5. `bash -n scripts/*.sh` exits 0.
6. `rg "^python " AGENTS.md README.md automaton/dashboard/README.md prompts/orchestrate.md`
returns zero matches for a bare `python ` command.
7. `python3 scripts/vram_detect.py` on Darwin prints `gpu_vram_gb > 0` (was 0 before).
8. `python3 scripts/vram_detect.py` JSON shape identical to before on Linux/Cachyos.
## Sub-tasks
- `make-tests-runnable` — Wave 1, parallel-ok
- `vram-detect-cross-platform` — Wave 1, parallel-ok
- `vram-detect-cross-platform-tests` — Wave 2, depends on `vram-detect-cross-platform`
Parent is complete ONLY when ALL three sub-tasks pass and the streak verifier above
runs 10 consecutive clean passes.
## Anti-spin rails (from the source article)
- The streak verifier IS the independent checker model from Boris's loop. The
worker (local LLM) does not grade its own homework.
- If a test is genuinely broken (not just import-failing due to missing pytest),
STOP and report. Do not patch the test to make it pass. An agent that grades
itself will delete the failing test and call it done.
- Unknown model name → fail open with `0`. Wrong-context detection is worse than none.
- No new third-party deps beyond `pytest`. Pure stdlib for `vram_detect.py`.
## Hardware/VRAM context
- Detected by `vram_detect.py` on this box: **32GB RAM, no GPU, model unknown**
(because `vram_detect.py` is broken on macOS — subtask-2 fixes that)
- Target context: 12k tokens, headroom 25%, max peak per sub-task: 9k tokens.
- Sub-task peak estimates all fit within 9k. No further decomposition.
## Constraints / non-goals (parent)
- No `psutil`, `wmi`, `pywin32`, `tox`, `pytest-cov`, or other third-party deps.
- No removal of existing OpenAI/Anthropic entries in `MODEL_CONTEXT_WINDOWS`.
- No changes to `status.py`, `autopilot.py`, or any other runtime script's behavior.
- No touching files under `tasks/` (those are state, not source).
- No Docker, no conda, no `pyenv`. Stock `python3` + `pip3` only.
- VRAM detection is additive — Linux/Cachyos output must NOT regress.

# SPEC — vram-detect-cross-platform-tests
Parent: `runnable-test-suite` (see PARENT_SPEC.md).
**Dependency:** This sub-task runs AFTER `vram-detect-cross-platform` is complete.
Its function signatures and detection logic are the contract you test against.
## Scope
pytest tests proving cross-platform branches of `scripts/vram_detect.py` work
WITHOUT hitting real hardware. Every `subprocess.run` / `Path.exists` / `sysctl`
call is mocked.
## Files this sub-task touches (and ONLY this)
- `tests/test_vram_detect.py` — extend or rewrite. Preserve any existing
passing test (Linux regression tests especially).
## MUST NOT touch
- `scripts/vram_detect.py` (if it has a bug, escalate back to Orchestrator —
subtask-2 owns it)
- Any documentation, prompt, install script, or other source file
- Any other test file
## Test patterns (parametrize + monkeypatch)
### 1. `test_detect_ram_linux` (regression — must already be there, keep it)
- Patches `Path("/proc/meminfo")` text with synthetic `MemTotal: 16384000 kB\nMemAvailable: 8192000 kB`.
- Asserts `(16_384_000, 8_192_000)` returned.
### 2. `test_detect_ram_macos`
- `monkeypatch.setattr(platform, "system", lambda: "Darwin")`.
- Patches `subprocess.run` so `sysctl -n hw.memsize` returns `"34359738368"` (32GB).
- Asserts total_kb correct (33_554_432), available == total.
### 3. `test_detect_ram_windows`
- `monkeypatch.setattr(platform, "system", lambda: "Windows")`.
- Patches subprocess to return wmic output `TotalPhysicalMemory=34359738368`.
- Asserts total_kb == 33_554_432.
### 4. `test_detect_gpu_vram_nvidia_linux`
- `monkeypatch.setattr(platform, "system", lambda: "Linux")`.
- Patches `nvidia-smi` output `"24576\n"`.
- Asserts `(25_165_824, 25_165_824, 1)` (24GB × 1024 = KB).
### 5. `test_detect_gpu_vram_apple_silicon`
- `monkeypatch.setattr(platform, "system", lambda: "Darwin")`.
- Patches `system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType` with a real Apple M-series snippet:
```
Graphics/Displays:
Apple M2:
Chipset Model: Apple M2
Type: GPU
Bus: Built-In
Total Number of Cores: 10
Vendor: Apple (0x106b)
Metal: Supported, version 2
```
- Patches `sysctl -n hw.memsize` with `"17179869184"` (16GB).
- Asserts gpu_vram_kb > 0, num_gpus >= 1.
### 6. `test_detect_gpu_vram_windows_wmic`
- `monkeypatch.setattr(platform, "system", lambda: "Windows")`.
- Patches wmic output:
```
AdapterRAM=8589934592
Name=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
```
- Asserts total_vram_kb == 8_388_608 (8GB).
### 7. `test_lookup_model_context_unknown_returns_zero`
- `_lookup_model_context("completely-unknown-model")` returns `0`.
### 8. `test_lookup_model_context_prefix_match`
- `_lookup_model_context("deepseek-r1:7b")` matches `deepseek-r1` entry and returns its context.
- `_lookup_model_context("llama-3.1-8b-instruct")` matches `llama-3.1-8b`.
### 9. `test_detect_model_context_ollama_probe`
- No config file specifies a model.
- `ollama list` is on PATH (patch `shutil.which`).
- Patches subprocess to return:
```
NAME ID SIZE MODIFIED
llama-3.1-8b abc 4.7GB 2 days ago
```
- Asserts the returned context matches the `llama-3.1-8b` entry.
### 10. `test_run_command_windows_powershell_wrapper`
- Show that on Windows, a PowerShell cmdlet invocation goes through
`powershell -NoProfile -NoLogo -Command "..."` (assert argv[0] is powershell
when cmd is a PS string).
### 11. `test_detect_ram_linux_regression` (LOCKED — do not modify)
- If this test already exists, keep its byte-for-byte assertions. If not, add
an exact match on `(total_kb, available_kb)` for a specific `/proc/meminfo`
fixture to prevent subtask-2 from regressing Linux output.
## Acceptance criteria
1. `python3 -m pytest tests/test_vram_detect.py -v` exits 0 with all new tests passing.
2. Total `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` still exits 0.
3. **Streak:** 10 consecutive clean `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` runs.
4. No live `subprocess` against real `system_profiler`/`nvidia-smi`/`wmic` — every
external call goes through `monkeypatch.setattr`.
5. Every new test runs < 500ms (mock only, no I/O).
## Anti-spin rails
- If a subtask-2 function signature doesn't support what a test needs, STOP and
report. Do not edit `vram_detect.py` yourself and do not weaken the test to fit.
Escalate via Orchestrator.
- No `pytest.mark.skip` unless the platform genuinely doesn't support the feature
(e.g. skip a Windows test on Linux only if it can't be mocked — but mocking is
the whole point, so this should never happen).
- Do not add `pytest-cov` or any new deps.
## Recommended approach
1. Read `scripts/vram_detect.py` and confirm subtask-2's signatures.
2. For each test, write the fixture data as a module-level constant (multiline string).
3. Use `monkeypatch.setattr` for `platform.system`, `subprocess.run`, `shutil.which`,
`Path.exists`, `Path.read_text`. Never call the real thing.
4. Use `capfd` for stdout assertions where the SPEC calls for print messages.
5. Run `python3 -m pytest tests/test_vram_detect.py -v` until green.
6. Run the full suite streak verifier.
