Memory Update - test-audit-agent - 2026-02-21

Key findings

• scripts/test-audit/run-flaky-check.mjs can produce false-green empty output when relying on piped child stdout in this environment.
• Writing node:test TAP output to explicit reporter destination files is stable across this sandbox and keeps flakiness evidence auditable.

Patterns / reusable knowledge

• For audit tooling that consumes child test output, prefer file-based reporter destinations over stdio capture.
• Add deterministic pass/fail fixtures to test audit scripts so regressions in signal extraction fail immediately.

Warnings / gotchas

• test/scheduler-preflight-lock.e2e.test.mjs remains reproducibly red on platform mismatch (unknown vs codex) and should be treated as active until spec correction.
• Running node:test from inside another node:test process may require clearing NODE_TEST_CONTEXT in child env for stable behavior.
