This repository has no general verification. backend-parity.yml exercises the WGPU, CUDA and Metal provider contracts on device-specific runners; the rest of the workflows publish or build the book.

So 1365 native tests and 18 doctests are committed, maintained, and executed by nothing.

How it surfaced

kwavers turned out to compile 92 integration test files and run 6 of them, which had hidden 17 failures — two of them driving a solver at 1.71× its own CFL limit. That prompted the same question of every stack member. coeus and melinoe were the two that ran nothing; melinoe is #21.

It matters here in particular because coeus is kwavers' autograd and tensor dependency — a finite-difference gradient check I ran this week leaned directly on its correctness.

State, measured before wiring

gate result
cargo fmt --all -- --check clean
cargo nextest run --workspace 1365 passed, 8 skipped
cargo test --doc --workspace 18 passed
RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings cargo doc --workspace --no-deps clean after 3 fixes below
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings 76 diagnostics

The three doc fixes

  • ComputeBackend was unresolved in coeus-cuda/src/lib.rs — no import brings it into scope there.
  • The same link was redundantly qualified in coeus-wgpu/src/lib.rs, where it is in scope. Opposite defect, same trait.
  • Seven links to gradcheck were ambiguous between the function and the module of the same name; they all mean the function, so they now say fn@gradcheck.

Clippy is not denied

76 diagnostics remain, and 30 of them are one mechanical change — .get(0) to .first() across 22 files. It runs without -D warnings, so a regression in a cleared class stays visible while the standing debt does not block a merge, and it is raised to denying when the count reaches zero. Landing a red gate would teach people to ignore it.

Cheapest gate runs first, so a formatting slip costs seconds rather than a build.

High-level PR Summary

This PR adds a CI workflow to run the 1365 native tests and 18 doctests that were previously not being executed in any automated workflow. The existing backend-parity.yml only tested device-specific provider contracts, leaving the general test suite unverified. The new workflow includes format checking, tests (via nextest), documentation tests, documentation builds with warnings denied, and clippy (without denial) as a ratchet mechanism. Additionally, three documentation link fixes are included: resolving an unresolved ComputeBackend link in the CUDA crate, removing a redundant qualification in the WGPU crate, and disambiguating seven gradcheck links to explicitly reference the function rather than the module.

This repository had no general verification. `backend-parity.yml`
exercises the WGPU, CUDA and Metal provider contracts on device-specific
runners; the rest of the workflows publish or build the book. So 1365
native tests and 18 doctests were committed, maintained, and executed by
nothing.

All of them pass. So does `cargo fmt --check`, and so does `cargo doc`
with `RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings` once three intra-doc links are fixed:
`ComputeBackend` was unresolved in coeus-cuda and redundantly qualified
in coeus-wgpu, and seven links to `gradcheck` were ambiguous between the
function and the module of the same name. Each was run before being
wired, so this does not land a workflow that is already red.

Clippy is not denied. 76 diagnostics remain, 30 of them a single
mechanical `.get(0)` to `.first()` across 22 files, so it runs without
`-D warnings`: a regression in a cleared class stays visible while the
standing debt does not block a merge. It is raised when the count
reaches zero.

Found by asking, across the stack, which repositories compile tests that
CI never runs -- the question kwavers answered with 92 integration files
and 6 run, which had hidden 17 failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request splits Rust CI checks into separate jobs, updates development debug settings, improves Cargo output decoding for invalid UTF-8, and qualifies rustdoc links in the autograd, CUDA, and WGPU crates.

Changes

CI verification and documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
GitHub Actions verification workflow
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The workflow retains Rust 1.97.0 configuration and runs formatting, native tests, doctests, documentation checks, and non-blocking workspace Clippy checks in separate jobs. Native tests and doctests exclude coeus-wgpu and coeus-python.
Development build debug settings
Cargo.toml
Development and test profiles use line-table-only debuginfo. Dependencies and build-script overrides disable debuginfo.
Cargo output decoding
scripts/lockfile.py
Captured Cargo output uses explicit UTF-8 decoding with replacement for invalid byte sequences.
Rustdoc link qualification
crates/coeus-autograd/src/gradcheck.rs, crates/coeus-cuda/src/lib.rs, crates/coeus-wgpu/src/lib.rs
Rustdoc references explicitly identify gradcheck as a function and qualify ComputeBackend references.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 78f10

This PR adds automated verification for the native tests and doctests and fixes documentation links; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Comment thread .github/workflows/ci.yml Resolved
`coeus-python` fails to link a test binary on Linux with `undefined
symbol: _Py_DecRef`. PyO3's `extension-module` deliberately does not
link libpython, because a loaded extension takes those symbols from the
interpreter; a standalone test binary has no interpreter.

It builds on Windows, which links pythonXY.lib regardless, which is why
the gate passed locally and failed on the runner. `python-release.yml`
owns that crate's verification, and kwavers excludes its own binding
crate from the same step for the same reason.

`subprocess.run(..., text=True)` decodes with the locale codepage. Cargo
emits UTF-8, so on a Windows console (cp1252) the reader thread dies on
the first unmappable byte and the captured stream is lost:

  Exception in thread Thread-1 (_readerthread):
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81

The verdict survives, because it comes from `returncode` -- which is why
this went unnoticed. What does not survive is `completed.stderr`, the
message printed to explain a failure, at the one moment it is needed.

Decoding as UTF-8 with replacement fixes it.

Two failures, both from running a workspace-wide gate on a bare runner.

`coeus-wgpu` acquires a GPU adapter and fails with `AdapterUnavailable:
No compatible GPU adapter or device could be acquired`. It is not
skipped coverage -- backend-parity.yml already runs its check, clippy at
-D warnings, nextest and doctests on a runner with mesa-vulkan-drivers
installed, which is where a device test belongs.

The toolchain was not the one that runs. `rust-toolchain.toml` pins
1.97.0, but the action received no `toolchain` input and defaulted to
stable -- its own log line reads `toolchain: stable`. So the runner
installed stable with clippy and rustfmt, and rustup then fetched 1.97.0
as a second toolchain on first cargo call, with the components installed
for the toolchain that does not run. It now takes the same
`RUST_TOOLCHAIN` value and mechanism as backend-parity.yml.

The toolchain finding is a review comment on the pull request, verified
against the job log rather than taken on assertion.

The single Verify job was killed at its 30-minute limit inside
`cargo doc`. The measurement is unambiguous: 26m52s compiling the
workspace at the `test` profile, then all 1130 tests in 4.1 seconds.
It is compile-bound, and clippy never ran at all.

The `test`, `doc` and clippy profiles each require their own compile,
so serially the job does not fit any defensible bound. Three jobs carry
one apiece and run concurrently. Format gets its own runner so a
formatting slip reports in under a minute rather than behind a compile.

Dependency debuginfo goes with it. Nothing here steps into a
dependency, and full DWARF for the whole graph is the larger half of
both compile time and target size.
