Walkthrough

The pull request adds a JMeter load-test plan, a results checker, and GitHub Actions workflows for smoke and scheduled full tests. It adds load-testing documentation and updates instructions for isolated local development.

Changes

JMeter Load Testing

Layer / File(s) Summary
JMeter test plan and lifecycle
tests/load/compass-testPlan.jmx, docs/load-testing.md
The plan creates accounts, calls authenticated /me requests, deletes app users, and records results. The guide documents the plan stages, account data, and test configuration.
Local load-test setup and results
docs/load-testing.md, .gitignore
The guide covers local JMeter setup, commands, properties, results, and troubleshooting. .gitignore excludes generated load-test artifacts.
Automated runs and result checks
.github/workflows/load-test.yml, .github/workflows/load-smoke-test.yml, .github/workflows/load-full-test.yml, tests/load/check_results.py, docs/load-testing.md, docs/testing.md, CLAUDE.md
The reusable workflow runs the plan, checks configured limits, handles cleanup, and uploads artifacts. Smoke and scheduled workflows supply different thresholds. The testing guides describe the workflows and load-test usage.

Isolated Development Instructions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Development modes and emulator setup
README.md, scripts/run_local_isolated.sh
The README distinguishes shared remote development from isolated local-emulator development and documents local reset steps. The isolated-run script invokes Supabase status through npx.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e72f

Load tests can pass without meeting the requested load or latency limits, and failed deletions can leave test accounts behind. Correct validation and cleanup handling before relying on these runs; also clarify the documented cleanup and isolated-setup limitations.

Explanation

The title "[Load Tests] Added load testing foundation and markdown file guide" matches the main change in the changeset. The PR adds a JMeter load-test plan, the reusable and scheduled GitHub Actions workflows, the results checker script, and the docs/load-testing.md guide. The title does not mention the README and isolated-run script changes, the .gitignore updates, or the CI workflows, but it names the primary change and does not describe anything absent from the changeset.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Unverified concern: The full run requests exactly 100 new accounts, equal to the Firebase hourly per-IP limit stated in this workflow. It leaves no quota headroom for a preceding smoke run or another signup from the runner's IP.

Validation was inconclusive.

Potential consequence: Some full-run signups are rejected by quota, so the scheduled or manual load test cannot reach its requested size.

Condition requiring verification: The full run starts within an hour of a smoke or retried load run sharing its outbound IP.

docs/load-testing.md:815-819
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the load-testing guide: the teardown does not delete a Firebase login that has no app user.

The guide says a login saved after profile creation fails is removed by cleanup. That is not true. TEARDOWN | Delete app user calls /me/delete. That handler looks up the app user first and rejects the request when none exists, so it never reaches the Firebase delete. The login stays in Firebase Auth.

The backend's daily unfinished-signup sweep removes these logins later. The guide does not mention the sweep or any other Firebase-only recovery step. The "Cleanup only" path also calls /me/delete, so it fails for these logins too.

Change the sentence so it states the actual behavior:

📝 Suggested correction
-  is **saved anyway**, and cleanup deletes it.
+  is **saved anyway**. The teardown cannot delete it, because `/me/delete` rejects a login with no app user. The backend's daily unfinished-signup sweep deletes it later.

The same false assurance appears in the save-account script at tests/load/compass-testPlan.jmx:198, which logs "saving anyway so it gets cleaned up". Update that message to match.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude failed-profile accounts from /me measurement.

A failed profile request leaves no application user, so /me returns 404 for that account throughout its thread. These failures distort the /me measurement even though the setup error-rate check also fails. Keep failed accounts for teardown, but provide only successfully profiled accounts to the /me reader and reset that reader file with the other test data.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make teardown failures fail the results check.

The full workflow allows a 1% error rate. One failed teardown among 100 accounts can therefore pass check_results.py, while the current cleanup gate skips because JMeter succeeded. The proposed workflow-only condition does not cover this case.

Treat any TEARDOWN | error as a failed check, then run cleanup when that check fails.

Correct the isolated setup synchronization claim.

yarn test:db:reset seeds database users before dev:isolated starts Firebase. If Firebase is unavailable, the seed creates database-only users. The README therefore cannot promise that resetting the database keeps Firebase and the database in sync.

This does not prevent the documented user from signing up and browsing synthetic profiles, but it makes seeded users unsuitable for flows that require sign-in. Update the README to state this limitation, or change the launcher and setup lifecycle so Firebase is running before seeding. Do not add a second yarn emulate command without coordinating process ownership, because dev:isolated already starts Firebase and could cause port conflicts.

Apply the p95 limit to every TEST result set.

The checker skips p95 validation when a TEST label has fewer than 20 samples. Therefore, 18 successful /me samples at 5000 ms produce PASS despite the smoke limit of 2000 ms.

Remove the s["count"] >= 20 condition.

Validate the expected number of participating accounts or threads.

When fewer accounts exist than USERS, JMeter can stop excess threads at CSV EOF. The checker only requires one TEST | sample, so a run with fewer participating threads can still pass.

Do not compare total TEST | samples with USERS unless the test plan guarantees one sample per account. Validate distinct participating account or thread identifiers instead.
