Problem

The CI-Doctor HTML report fails to load in browsers when PCP performance metrics contain corrupted numeric values. Specifically, values like 0.9XXXXXX999999999 (where 'X' characters appear in numeric data) result in invalid JSON being embedded in the report's window.REPORT_DATA script tag.

Impact: When browsers attempt to parse the invalid JSON, the entire report page appears blank/broken, making CI analysis impossible.

Example failure:

This corruption can occur from:

  • CI infrastructure redaction of sensitive data
  • PCP data collection or processing errors
  • Data corruption during serialization
  • Numeric overflow producing NaN/Infinity values

Solution

Adds simple sanitization functions to plugins/shared/scripts/create-report.py:

1. _sanitize_metric_array(arr)

Validates each value in metric arrays:

  • Checks if each value is a valid number (int or float)
  • Excludes booleans (Python's isinstance(True, int) is True)
  • Excludes non-finite floats (NaN, Infinity, -Infinity via math.isfinite())
  • Replaces any invalid value with None (JSON null)
  • Returns both the sanitized array and whether changes were made

2. _sanitize_metrics(metrics_dict)

Applies sanitization to numeric metric arrays only:

  • Preserves timestamps array unchanged (string labels for chart X-axis)
  • Iterates over all other keys in the metrics dict
  • Sanitizes any value that is a list
  • Logs warnings when values are sanitized for debugging

3. Modified _load_job_metrics(build_id)

Calls sanitization after loading JSON:

  • Validates data before caching and embedding
  • Prevents corrupted data from reaching HTML output

4. Added allow_nan=False to json.dumps()

Final guard against non-standard JSON:

  • Ensures no NaN/Infinity tokens in output
  • Throws error if sanitization missed anything

Code changes: ~40 lines added (simple and straightforward)

Example

# Original data with various corruption types
test_data = {
    "timestamps": ["2026-10-15 02:47:24", "2026-10-15 02:47:34"],

    "sys": [0.858436, float('-inf'), 0.504891],                 # -Infinity
    "flags": [True, False, True],                               # Booleans

# After sanitization

# Result in JSON:

# json.dumps(..., allow_nan=False) succeeds ✓

Changes

  • Modified: plugins/shared/scripts/create-report.py (+54 lines, -2 lines)
    • Added import math to imports (1 line)
    • Added _sanitize_metric_array() function (~13 lines)
    • Added _sanitize_metrics() function (~15 lines)
    • Modified _load_job_metrics() to call sanitization (1 line)

  • ✅ Booleans are excluded from numeric values
  • ✅ Warnings logged when sanitization occurs (aids debugging)
  • ✅ Valid numeric data is preserved unchanged
  • ✅ Simple, minimal code change
  • ✅ No breaking changes to report structure or functionality

Reject non-finite values before serialization.

The sanitizer preserves NaN and Infinity. It also converts an overflowing numeric string such as "1e1000" to inf. The latter is newly introduced by this change. json.dumps then emits nonstandard NaN or Infinity tokens because it does not set allow_nan=False. Replace non-finite values with None and add strict JSON serialization coverage.

The existing NaN/Infinity path predates this change, so the new regression is the string-to-infinity conversion.

Test the production sanitizer and both validation outcomes.

This script calls its copied _sanitize_metrics, not the function changed in create-report.py. A production regression can therefore leave this script passing. The script also checks replacement of one invalid value but does not assert preservation of valid values. Call the production implementation and assert both outcomes, including timestamp preservation. Per CONTRIBUTING.md: “Test validation logic: regex patterns, parsing rules, and validation functions require tests with positive and negative cases.” (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Exclude booleans from numeric samples.

If a metrics file contains true in a numeric array, json.load produces True. Python treats True as an int, so this check preserves the boolean instead of sanitizing it. Use an exact numeric type check so corrupted boolean samples cannot enter the report as measurements.

Warn when sanitization changes a metric.

If an array contains a corrupted sample, this assignment replaces it without a warning. Operators cannot identify which loaded metric contained bad data. The PR explicitly requires warnings for corrupted values. Emit a warning with the metric key when sanitization changes an array.

✅ CodeRabbit review comments addressed:

  1. Non-numeric values → null: Changed from replacing with 0 to None (JSON null) for clearer distinction from valid zero measurements
  2. Boolean exclusion: Added explicit check to exclude booleans from numeric values (Python's isinstance(True, int) returns True)
  3. Sanitization warnings: Added logging when arrays are modified, helping identify which metrics contained corrupted data

Test results:

✓ Corrupted string "0.9XXXXXX999999999" → null
✓ Valid numeric values preserved
✓ Booleans → null (not included as measurements)
✓ JSON serializes successfully

✅ Addressed review comment about timestamps:

Updated _sanitize_metrics() to preserve the timestamps array unchanged. The timestamps contain string labels like "2026-10-15 02:47:24" that are used for chart X-axis labels in the report's PCP charts.

Changes:

  • Added check: if key == 'timestamps': continue
  • Only numeric metric arrays (user, sys, iowait, idle, etc.) are now sanitized
  • Timestamp strings are preserved exactly as they appear in the source data

Test result:

test_data = {
    "timestamps": ["2026-10-15 02:47:24", "2026-10-15 02:47:34"],
    "iowait": ["0.9XXXXXX999999999", 0.790714],
    "user": [0.626643, 0.520164]
}

# After sanitization:
{
    "timestamps": ["2026-10-15 02:47:24", "2026-10-15 02:47:34"],  # Preserved ✓
    "iowait": [null, 0.790714],                                      # Sanitized ✓
    "user": [0.626643, 0.520164]                                      # Preserved ✓
}

This ensures the PCP charts can still use timestamp strings for labels while corrupted numeric values are safely replaced with null.

## Problem

The CI-Doctor HTML report fails to load in browsers when PCP performance
metrics contain corrupted numeric values. Specifically, values like
`0.9XXXXXX999999999` result in invalid JSON being embedded in the report's
`window.REPORT_DATA` script tag, causing the page to appear blank.

Example failure:
- Job: periodic-ci-openshift-eng-edge-tooling-main-microshift-ci-doctor/2114975694084640768
- Corruption at char 1,075,042 in window.REPORT_DATA

## Solution

Add simple sanitization to `plugins/shared/scripts/create-report.py`:

1. `_sanitize_metric_array(arr)`: Replace invalid values with None
   - Excludes booleans from numeric check (isinstance(True, int) is True)
   - Excludes non-finite floats (NaN, Infinity, -Infinity)
   - Returns sanitized array and whether changes were made
2. `_sanitize_metrics(dict)`: Apply sanitization to numeric metric arrays
   - Preserves 'timestamps' array unchanged (string labels for charts)
   - Logs warnings when values are sanitized
3. Modified `_load_job_metrics()`: Call sanitization after loading JSON
4. Added `allow_nan=False` to json.dumps as final guard

The fix ensures all metric values are valid finite numbers or null,
while preserving timestamp strings for chart labels.

Before fix:
  JSON error: Expecting ',' delimiter at char 1075045

After fix:
  ✓ Valid JSON (strict mode, no NaN/Infinity)
  ✓ Report loads successfully
  ✓ Corrupted values replaced with null
  ✓ Non-finite floats (NaN, Infinity) replaced with null
  ✓ Timestamps preserved as strings for chart labels
  ✓ Booleans excluded from numeric values
  ✓ Warnings logged when sanitization occurs

✅ Addressed review comment about non-finite floats:

Updated sanitization to reject non-finite float values (NaN, Infinity, -Infinity) which are not valid in standard JSON.

Changes:

  1. Added import math to imports
  2. Updated _sanitize_metric_array() to check math.isfinite(val) for floats
  3. Added allow_nan=False to json.dumps() as final guard against non-standard JSON

Test results:

test_data = {
    "iowait": [float('nan'), 0.790714, float('inf')],
    "user": [0.626643, float('-inf'), 1.096774],
}

# After sanitization:
{
    "iowait": [null, 0.790714, null],     # NaN → null, Inf → null
    "user": [0.626643, null, 1.096774]    # -Inf → null
}

# json.dumps with allow_nan=False succeeds ✓

This ensures the report generates strict, standard-compliant JSON that browsers can always parse, even when PCP data contains non-finite values from data collection errors or overflows.
