Michael Suchacz 85792d08bc feat: add harness engineering layer for agent workflows (#24791)
This PR adds an opinionated harness-engineering layer for agent-driven
workflows: a small set of agent-readable docs, mechanical structure
checks, structured CI failure summaries, an architecture-lint umbrella,
and per-worktree dev-server isolation. The goal is to make local dev,
tests, and CI mechanically inspectable by agents without changing app
runtime behavior.

## What landed

**Agent docs and navigation**
- `.claude/docs/OBSERVABILITY.md`, `.claude/docs/DEV_ISOLATION.md`,
`.claude/docs/AGENT_FAILURES.md`: task-oriented guides for logs,
tracing, Prometheus, dev-server isolation, and a seeded failure catalog.
- `AGENTS.md`: added an `Agent navigation` block, then trimmed the file
from 375 to 229 lines by migrating duplicated detail into
`WORKFLOWS.md`, `GO.md`, `TESTING.md`, and `DATABASE.md`. The
user-managed custom-instructions block is preserved.
- `.agents/docs`: symlink mirror of `.claude/docs` for agent runtimes
that look under `.agents`.

**Mechanical checks**
- `scripts/check_agents_structure.sh`: validates `@...` references in
tracked `AGENTS.md` files and warns when root grows past 600 lines.
Wired as `make lint/agents` and into `make lint`.
- `scripts/audit-agent-readiness.sh`: report-first audit of harness
readiness. Currently `10 ok, 0 warn, 0 fail`.
- `scripts/check_architecture.sh` / `make lint/architecture`: umbrella
architecture-lint target. Consolidates the existing
`check_enterprise_imports.sh` and `check_codersdk_imports.sh` so they
run exactly once via the umbrella. Slot is open for new high-confidence
rules.

**Structured CI failure summaries**
- `scripts/playwright-failure-summary.sh`: parses
`site/test-results/results.json` and writes Markdown to
`$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY` on failure. Wired into the `test-e2e` matrix job.
- `scripts/go-test-failure-summary.sh`: parses `go test -json`
line-delimited output the same way. Wired into `test-go-pg`,
`test-go-pg-17`, and `test-go-race-pg` by injecting `gotestsum
--jsonfile` in the workflow without touching `Makefile`. JSON also
uploaded as a CI artifact on failure.
- `site/e2e/playwright.config.ts`: enables `screenshot:
only-on-failure`, `trace: retain-on-failure`, JSON reporter, and HTML
reporter alongside existing reporters.
- `.github/workflows/ci.yaml`: failure artifact uploads for Playwright
now use `if: failure()` and predictable names
(`playwright-artifacts-<variant>-<sha>`).

**Per-worktree dev-server isolation** (`scripts/develop/main.go`)
- Deterministic FNV-64a hash of the worktree path produces a port offset
in `[0, 1000)` (50 buckets, step 20 to avoid API/proxy overlap across
adjacent buckets).
- Offset is applied only to defaults; both env vars (`CODER_DEV_PORT`,
`CODER_DEV_WEB_PORT`, `CODER_DEV_PROXY_PORT`,
`CODER_DEV_PROMETHEUS_PORT`) and CLI flags retain priority.
- Hardcoded ports `9090` (embedded Prometheus UI) and `12345` (Delve)
are unchanged by design.
- Startup banner shows each port's source: `default`, `offset`, or
`explicit`.
- Unit tests in `scripts/develop/main_test.go` cover determinism,
bounds, no-overlap across the four ports, and explicit-skip behavior.
- State (`.coderv2/`) was already worktree-isolated via `os.Getwd()`, so
no state-dir changes were needed.

## Validation

`make lint/agents`, `make lint/architecture`, `make lint/emdash`, `bash
scripts/audit-agent-readiness.sh` (10 ok, 0 warn, 0 fail), `shellcheck`
on all 5 new scripts, `go test ./scripts/develop/...`, and `js-yaml`
parse of `ci.yaml` all pass. Synthetic fixtures verify both
failure-summary scripts handle empty/missing input (silent exit 0),
ANSI-stripped output, and parent/subtest formatting.

## Known follow-ups (deferred)

- Frontend Storybook/Vitest failure summary: lowest-leverage slice of
the failure-summary work. Skipping until observed pain.
- Architecture lint currently only delegates to existing import checks;
new rules (`InTx` outer-store detection, swagger-annotation lint) plug
in as needed.
- 50 port-offset buckets means two worktree paths can occasionally
collide. The DEV_ISOLATION doc tells users to set the relevant env var
when this happens.

e2e

The structure of the end-to-end tests is optimized for speed and reliability. Not all tests require setting up a new PostgreSQL instance or using the Terraform provisioner. Deciding when to trade time for robustness rests with the developers; the framework's role is to facilitate this process.

Take a look at prior art in tests/ for inspiration. To run a test:

cd site
# Build the frontend assets. If you are actively changing
# the site to debug an issue, add `--watch`.
pnpm build
# Alternatively, build with debug info and source maps:
NODE_ENV=development pnpm vite build --mode=development
# Install the browsers to `~/.cache/ms-playwright`.
pnpm playwright:install
# Run E2E tests. You can see the configuration of the server
# in `playwright.config.ts`. This uses `go run -tags embed ...`.
pnpm playwright:test
# Run a specific test (`-g` stands for grep. It accepts regex).
pnpm playwright:test -g '<your test here>'

Using nix

If this breaks, it is likely because the flake chromium version and playwright are no longer compatible. To fix this, update the flake to get the latest chromium version, and adjust the playwright version in the package.json.

You can see the playwright version here: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=playwright-driver&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=playwright-driver

# Optionally add '--command zsh' to choose your shell.
nix develop
cd site
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm playwright:test

To run the playwright debugger from VSCode, just launch VSCode from the nix environment and have the extension installed.

# Optionally add '--command zsh' to choose your shell.
nix develop

Enterprise tests

Enterprise tests require a license key to run.

export CODER_E2E_LICENSE=<license key>

Debugging tests

To debug a test, it is more helpful to run it in ui mode.

pnpm playwright:test-ui
