What this adds

An npm package, npm/testing-files-generator, that turns a generated set into Playwright tests. It is not published yet. Publishing comes in a later pull request, from the release's own bytes.

const uploads = fileSet({ preset: 'upload-validation', options: { limit: '2mb' } });

for (const file of uploads.files) {
  test(file.title, file.details, async ({ page }) => {
    test.skip(file.unspecified, file.whyUnspecified);
    await page.goto('/upload');
    await page.getByLabel('File').setInputFiles(await file.path());
    await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Upload' }).click();
    file.check((await page.getByRole('status').textContent())?.includes('Uploaded') ? 'accept' : 'reject');
  });
}

Every file is a test. The title names the file and its expected outcome, and the report shows what the file is for. Tags such as @reject and @size-limit narrow a run.
A failure says what it means. check throws the sentence the manifest carries for that file, for example "1mb_over_1b.jpg was taken, and it should have been turned away (size_limit). ... taking it means the limit is not enforced, or enforced only in the browser."
Unspecified files are skipped with their reason, never passed. check refuses one.
npx tfg runs the same binary, with the same output and exit codes.

An example, examples/playwright. It is an upload form with four deliberate mistakes:

the server never checks the size;
content and extension are never compared;
an allowed extension anywhere in the name counts;
the page refuses a file of exactly the limit.

The tests written with Buffer.alloc all pass. Their oversized "PDF" is zeros, so the server refuses it for its content, and the size test passes on a server with no size limit. The generated set, sent through the page and straight to the API, finds all four mistakes: 11 tests fail. With FIXED=1 nothing fails. That second run is the control showing the red tests come from the app, not from the tests.

How the package works

Loading a spec writes nothing. fileSet runs tfg generate --dry-run --json and declares the tests from the plan. A spec file loads in the runner and again in every worker, and --list loads it too. Measured on Playwright 1.64.1 with two specs and three workers: eight loads, three of them in the same millisecond.
The first test that asks for a path writes the set, once for all workers. Each worker writes its own copy and moves it into place. The first move wins. The others find the winner complete, take it, and remove their own copy through tfg cleanup, so only files the manifest lists are removed. There are no locks. A Windows rename that a scanner holds for a moment is retried.
Later runs reuse the set. The cache key covers the arguments, the recipe hash, the seed and the tool. The recipe hash alone is not enough, because it leaves out --seed and --clean: two seeds gave the same hash for different bytes. A set that was changed by hand is refused and left in place. An unfinished set from a stopped run is reported once, by the runner process only, and never used.
The package does not wrap the test body. Playwright refuses a wrapped body ("First argument must use the object destructuring pattern"), because it reads fixture names from the function's source. So the package never imports @playwright/test, and it works with any test and with other runners.
No dependencies and no install script. The binary will come from per-platform packages, @testing-files-generator/<platform>-<arch>, for the five systems the release builds. TFG_BINARY overrides it. PATH is never searched.
Licence: MPL-2.0 for the package, the same as @axe-core/playwright. The binary stays GPL-3.0 and runs as a separate program.

A set written earlier, by another run or another worker, goes through tfg verify before it is used. A test that writes into a file it was given keeps the size and changes the set, and such a set is refused with the files that differ. For the default upload set of 115 MB this takes about a seventh of the time the set takes to write.

Guards

npmpackage_test.go:
- the package's platforms against the release's target loop;
- Outcome and Reason in index.d.ts, and the outcome list in lib/testfile.js, against recipe.Outcomes and recipe.Reasons;
- every field index.d.ts declares against the JSON tags of manifest.File, Expected, Manifest, Tool, Run and Summary;
- the text of the package and the example: ASCII, flat hyphens, no semicolons. This covers comments everywhere, and string literals in the runtime files.
Both READMEs join the English text files that ascii and punctuation read.
TestTheLinkedPackageIsUnderTheLicenceTheGateIsToldItIs: the package's package.json and LICENSE against the MPL-2.0 that the dependency gate's exceptions state.
Eight mutation entries.
node --test, 28 tests, most of them against the real binary:
- a race of four processes, held at a barrier so that all four write, asserting four wrote, one moved and three took the winner's copy;
- a set edited by hand (a file deleted, a file truncated, a file written over with its size kept), refused and left in place;
- another seed and --clean;
- a set left by a stopped run;
- the exit code of npx tfg;
- a child stopped by a signal, and a child that writes 4 MiB to its error stream;
- a binary or a recipe option that names nothing, and a platform package that is there and gives no binary.
Manual mutants, all caught:
- the existing-target check in the race;
- discarding the losing copy;
- the size check;
- the byte check of a kept set, and the exit code it is told by;
- the error stream going back into a buffer, and its start kept in place of its end;
- the signal name lost from the status (on Linux, in node:22);
- the cache key;
- a check that never throws;
- mistake 2 removed from the app;
- one for each Go guard.
One mutant was not caught and is equivalent: path against name. They are equal today because engine.go sets Path from the name, and a name cannot hold a separator.

CI

A new npm job runs on all three systems with Node 22, the oldest version the package declares and Playwright supports. It builds tfg and runs the package's tests. On Linux it also installs Chromium, runs tsc --noEmit and runs check.mjs. This changes .github/workflows/ci.yml.

The example commits a lockfile, so its tree, all Apache-2.0 and MIT, reaches the dependency gate. The package itself is linked from this repository and is on no registry, so GitHub reports it twice, by name and by path, with no licence. Both names are exceptions in .github/scripts/dependency_gate.py, held to MPL-2.0 by the guard above.

The memory guard on another run's record (TestAnotherRunsRecordListingOneFileOverAndOverHoldsItOnce) no longer applies its ceiling under the race detector. Under the detector its reading spreads by more than a megabyte either way, against a ceiling of 50 kB. Without it the reading is steady, and the three test jobs keep the ceiling.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added an npm package for generating test files, filtering file sets, and checking observed outcomes against expected results. It includes TypeScript definitions and support for Windows, Linux, and macOS on supported architectures.
- Added a Playwright upload example that tests file-size limits, allowed file types, and content validation in both unfixed and corrected modes.
Documentation
- Added guides for the npm package and Playwright example, including setup, usage, and test commands.

…ample of what it finds npm/testing-files-generator plans a set with tfg while a spec file loads, writing nothing, so every file becomes a test with a title, tags and the sentence that says what the file is for. The first test that asks for a path writes the set, once for every worker: each writes a copy and the first to move it to its name wins, the others take it and remove theirs through tfg cleanup. Later runs take the same files, keyed by the arguments as well as the recipe hash, which leaves out the seed and --clean. check compares what the system did with the manifest and throws with that sentence. Unspecified files are skipped, never passed. No dependencies, no install script, MPL-2.0. Not published yet. examples/playwright is an upload form with four mistakes. The generated set finds all four through the page and the API, the tests written with Buffer.alloc find none, and with the mistakes fixed nothing fails. CI runs the package's tests on three systems and the example on Linux. Guards hold the package to the platforms the release builds, the closed lists and fields of the manifest, and the punctuation of the text it shows.

Walkthrough

This change adds an npm package that connects the tfg CLI to Node.js test code. It includes file-set planning, caching, and outcome checks. It also adds a Playwright upload example with default and fixed modes, plus CI and guard checks for the package and example.

Changes: Generator package and upload example

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Package API and CLI integration `npm/testing-files-generator/index.d.ts`, `npm/testing-files-generator/index.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/lib/binary.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/lib/run.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/package.json`, `npm/testing-files-generator/LICENSE`, `npm/testing-files-generator/README.md`, `npm/testing-files-generator/test/binary.test.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/test/run.test.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/test/helpers.js`	The package declares and exports its TypeScript and CommonJS APIs. It resolves platform binaries and runs the CLI with bounded error output. Tests cover binary selection, process errors, and helper behavior. The README describes package usage and the license.
File-set planning and cache handling `npm/testing-files-generator/lib/fileset.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/test/fileset.test.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/test/helpers.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/README.md`	`fileSet` validates options, plans generated files, filters results, and writes or reuses cached sets. Tests cover cache validation, reuse, concurrent writes, and CLI parity.
Generated-file expectations and checks `npm/testing-files-generator/lib/testfile.js`, `npm/testing-files-generator/test/testfile.test.js`	`TestFile` exposes file metadata and expected outcomes, and checks observed outcomes and rejection reasons. Tests cover metadata, paths, and mismatch handling.
Playwright upload example `examples/playwright/app/`, `examples/playwright/tests/`, `examples/playwright/check.mjs`, `examples/playwright/playwright.config.ts`, `examples/playwright/shared.ts`, `examples/playwright/package.json`, `examples/playwright/tsconfig.json`, `examples/playwright/README.md`, `examples/playwright/.gitignore`	The example serves an upload form and endpoint with default and fixed validation modes. Playwright tests exercise typical uploads and generated cases through the page and endpoint. `check.mjs` verifies results in both modes.
Package and example validation `.github/scripts/dependency_gate.py`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `internal/guard/npmpackage_test.go`, `internal/guard/ascii_test.go`, `internal/guard/mutation/entries.py`, `internal/guard/manifestreadlimits_test.go`, `internal/guard/raceflag_test.go`	CI runs package tests on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and checks the Playwright example on Linux. Guard tests compare declarations and scan text; mutation entries target selected guards. Race-detector runs skip the allocation ceiling assertion.

Full details: No Secrets Or Debug Leftovers

Explanation

The PR adds no CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/, or .env paths. Diff scans found no credentials, tokens, API keys, personal emails, internal hosts/IPs, or local machine paths. The added URLs are public project, npm registry, Mozilla license, or localhost test URLs. Console output and stderr writes serve example status, CLI errors, warnings, and test fixtures; no debugger, breakpoint, or leftover debug print was found.

Full details: No Hardcoded Ui Styling

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds a browser HTML/JavaScript upload example, but it does not add or change XAML, Slint, Fyne, Tkinter, or WPF code-behind. The new HTML contains only semantic form controls, with no colors, fonts, sizes, spacing, radii, or copied styled controls.

Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems

Explanation

No clear performance problem is introduced. The package uses one planning process per distinct file-set specification, one generation process per source write, and one verification process per reused set, not one external process per file. File and filter operations are linear in set size. No UI-thread blocking, unvirtualized UI collection, polling loop, or clear quadratic algorithm is present.

Full details: System Changes Are Reversible

Explanation

PASS: The PR does not add or change any mechanism covered by this check. The changed code starts a localhost HTTP test server, launches the project CLI, and writes temporary/cache files. It does not modify network filters or rules, proxies, firewalls, system time, process hooks or injection, Windows services, the registry, or drivers. The reversibility warning is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Scope, Duplication And Docs

Explanation

The pull request scope matches its title and description: it adds the new npm package, the Playwright example, CI coverage, and supporting dependency/text guards. The base has no npm/testing-files-generator or examples/playwright paths, so the feature does not duplicate an existing package or example architecture. The package README documents fileSet, npx tfg, TFG_BINARY, caching, and supported runtimes. The example README documents build, install, test, and FIXED=1 steps. The package is new and unpublished, so no backward-incompatible public API change is introduced.

Full details: Tests For Changed Behavior

Explanation

The new runtime behavior has tests: package tests cover binary resolution, file-set planning/reuse/races/cache validation, process errors, and TestFile; CI runs them, and the Playwright acceptance check exercises the example app. However, an existing assertion was weakened without justification in the authored PR description. internal/guard/manifestreadlimits_test.go now returns when raceEnabled, so the allocation ceiling assertion no longer runs under the race detector. The description does not explain this change.

Resolution

Amend the PR description to explicitly state why the allocation assertion is disabled under -race and that non-race runs still enforce it. Preferably replace the unconditional skip with a race-specific, valid allocation check so the behavior remains covered under both modes.

Full details: Desktop Robustness

Explanation

The PR still introduces both listed robustness problems. fileSet() resolves and reads spec.recipe with path.resolve(...), so relative recipe assets are loaded from process.cwd(); the README and TypeScript declaration document this behavior. Planning runs runToFile() through blocking spawnSync, and writing starts run() without an AbortSignal. The public fileSet, write, and paths APIs expose no progress or cancellation controls. The README documents a 115 MB default set, so this is a long operation. The per-process _written promise prevents duplicate write() calls, but it does not address progress or cancellation.

Resolution

Require absolute recipe paths or accept an explicit base directory instead of resolving relative recipes from process.cwd(). Add documented progress and cancellation options to planning and writing. Use asynchronous child-process execution, terminate the child when cancellation occurs, and clean temporary output before rejection.

Full details: Safe File Parsing

Explanation

The prior failure remains unresolved. examples/playwright/app/server.mjs:78 calls Request.formData() on the complete request and line 82 calls file.arrayBuffer() followed by Buffer.from() without a request or file-size limit. A large multipart upload can exhaust memory before verdict() checks the size. npm/testing-files-generator/lib/fileset.js:67 reads an arbitrary recipe with unbounded fs.readFileSync; lines 171 and 283 parse complete plan and cached-manifest JSON after unbounded reads. examples/playwright/check.mjs:51 does the same for the Playwright report. Malformed plan or report JSON can also escape as an uncaught parse or shape error. The changed code introduces no XML, CSV, XLSX, archive, formula, or external-entity parser.

Resolution

Replace Request.formData() and file.arrayBuffer() with a streaming multipart parser such as busboy, with explicit request, files, fields, and fileSize limits. Count bytes while streaming, retain only a bounded prefix for sniffing, and return a controlled 413 response before creating a full Buffer. Bound recipe reads before hashing and parsing. Replace the plan, cached-manifest, and report fs.readFileSync plus JSON.parse calls with bounded streaming JSON parsing, or enforce strict size limits using a bounded read. Validate the expected object, array, field types, entry count, and relative paths. Catch malformed input and return controlled errors. Apply the same limits to mismatch() cached manifests and check.mjs reports.

Full details: Clear User-Facing Text

Explanation

The PR adds user-facing text that is unclear and inconsistent. The upload page exposes machine reason codes as Refused (size_limit) and similar values (examples/playwright/app/page.js:14,21), so users are not told what happened or what action to take. The API returns raw exceptions in error: String(err) (examples/playwright/app/server.mjs:103). Package diagnostics also pass through raw child, OS, and parser text in TfgError and file-set errors (npm/testing-files-generator/lib/run.js:19-21,28-30; lib/fileset.js:228,248; lib/binary.js:54-55). The same rejection concept is presented as reject, turned away, and Refused across the API, reports, documentation, and UI.

Resolution

Keep machine-readable reason and Outcome values, but map each reason to a stable message with an action. For example: Upload rejected: the file exceeds the 1 MiB limit. Choose a smaller file and try again. Add clear messages for invalid extension, malformed content, MIME mismatch, no file, and server failure. Remove raw String(err) from API responses; log or retain it as a non-displayed cause and return a stable actionable message. Wrap raw tfg/OS/parser diagnostics in user-oriented package errors while retaining the details separately. Standardize user-facing wording on accepted and rejected; retain the API value reject where required.

Full details: No Resource Leaks

Explanation

The PR introduces unbounded resource accumulation. npm/testing-files-generator/lib/fileset.js:46-72 stores every unique source in the process-wide sources Map; no entry is evicted or disposed, and each source retains its plan and TestFile objects. Source._settle keeps one completed generated set on disk for each distinct argument/seed/tool combination (:158, :213-233). The README explicitly states that nothing removes these sets (npm/testing-files-generator/README.md:98). Stopped .tmp-* directories are only detected and reported by noteUnfinished (fileset.js:360-375), not removed. This can grow memory and disk usage in long-running processes.

Resolution

Add lifecycle management for sources, such as bounded eviction or an explicit disposal operation used after a test run. Add documented cache retention limits by age, count, or bytes, and evict only completed sets that are not in use. When a .tmp-* directory belongs to a dead process, remove it after validation; also remove temporary output on every failed write and shutdown path. Keep user-modified completed sets protected, and test the retention and failure cleanup behavior.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Do not report every resolve failure as "not installed".

The bare catch turns every error from resolve into the --omit=optional advice. require.resolve can also fail with ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED, for example when the platform package's exports map does not expose tfg or tfg.exe. A user in that case gets wrong advice and no cause. Reinstalling does not fix it.

Report the "not installed" text only for MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Rethrow other errors, or append err.message.
Proposed fix

Inline comments:
Review comments at @examples/playwright/check.mjs:
- Around line 36-40: Update the `run` function to remove any existing
`results/check.json` before starting Playwright, then inspect the `spawnSync`
result and verify the report exists before reading it. Fail with a clear error
if startup failed, the process was killed by a signal, or no report was
produced; preserve non-zero exit codes as normal because failing tests are
expected.

Review comments at @examples/playwright/package.json:
- Around line 10-17: Add licence exceptions for both the repository-local
dependency path and the package name `testing-files-generator` in the dependency
gate’s exception registry, using the established exception format and citing the
package’s MPL-2.0 licence. Leave the package licence unchanged.

Review comments at @examples/playwright/README.md:
- Line 19: Update the build command in the README to name the output binary
using Go’s platform-specific executable suffix, matching the `TFG_BINARY` lookup
in `playwright.config.ts` and the naming convention used by CI.

Review comments at @npm/testing-files-generator/lib/fileset.js:
- Around line 113-116: Update identity() to detect when the binary path does not
exist and report the same clear, path-specific error used by binaryPath() for
TFG_BINARY, before calling fs.statSync(). Preserve the existing identity
calculation for files that exist.
- Around line 238-282: Update mismatch so it rejects cached files whose contents
differ even when their byte sizes match, using the existing manifest
verification mechanism if available or a checksum recorded in and compared
against the manifest. Ensure this validation applies before both reuse paths
accept the cached set.

Review comments at @npm/testing-files-generator/lib/run.js:
- Around line 41-46: Update runToFile so signal-terminated children use the
signal name as TfgError.status instead of null, matching run() and the declared
status type; add a test that verifies this behavior. Handle spawnSync’s ENOBUFS
error separately from startup failures and report that the child exceeded the
stderr buffer limit, while retaining notStarted for genuine startup errors.

Review comments at @npm/testing-files-generator/package.json:
- Around line 34-36: Update the package manifest containing the tfg bin
declaration to list the five platform packages resolved by the binary-selection
logic under optionalDependencies, all using the published package version.
Update the release workflow to publish those platform packages before publishing
this package.

Review comments at @npm/testing-files-generator/test/fileset.test.js:
- Line 60: Update the generated racer barrier’s ready() polling to fail with a
clear error after a fixed deadline instead of polling indefinitely, and set a
timeout on the test() call so the test runner also bounds execution. Keep the
existing success condition requiring all racers’ files.

Review comments at @npm/testing-files-generator/test/helpers.js:
- Around line 17-18: Update the build hint in the error thrown by `tfg()` to use
the platform-specific binary name resolved by `built` instead of always
specifying `tfg.exe`, so following the hint creates the binary the helper looks
for.

---

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Desktop Robustness:
Add an explicit base directory or require absolute recipe paths instead of
resolving recipes from `process.cwd()`. Provide progress and cancellation
options for planning and writing, use asynchronous child-process execution,
terminate the child on cancellation, and clean temporary output before
rejecting. Document the cancellation and progress behavior.

- Safe File Parsing:
Replace `Request.formData()` and `file.arrayBuffer()` with a streaming multipart
parser such as `busboy`, configured with explicit `files`, `fields`, and
`fileSize` limits. Count bytes while streaming and inspect only a bounded
prefix. Replace each `fs.readFileSync(...); JSON.parse(...)` pair with a bounded
streaming JSON parser, or enforce a strict file-size limit before parsing, then
validate the expected schema and return controlled errors for malformed input.
Apply the same limits to cached manifests and Playwright reports.

- Clear User-Facing Text:
Keep machine-readable `reason` values for tests, but display clear messages with
an action, such as `Upload rejected: the file exceeds the 1 MiB limit. Choose a
smaller file and try again.` Add specific messages for invalid extension,
malformed content, MIME mismatch, no file, and server failure. Do not return
`String(err)` or raw OS/parser text to users; log or retain it as a
non-displayed cause and return an actionable stable message. Standardize the
rejection wording across titles, reports, README text, and UI, for example
`accepted`/`rejected` (while retaining the API value `reject`).

- No Resource Leaks:
Add bounded lifecycle management. Limit or evict inactive entries from `sources`
(or provide and require a `dispose` operation that removes them after the test
run). Add cache retention limits by age, count, or bytes, and evict only
completed sets that are not in use. Remove stale `.tmp-*` directories after
confirming their owner process is dead, including cleanup on failed writes and
shutdown. Document the retention policy and ensure cleanup runs on all error
paths.
