The per-account preview switch was kept for the topic overview pages,
which were dropped before they shipped. Its one flag was stored, served
and backed up, and read by nothing; the column-reader audit listed it as
a pending consumer that will not come.
Removed completely:
- `/api/settings/preview-features` (GET, PATCH) is retired: it answers
410 Gone with `meta.errorCode: route.retired` and `removedIn: 1.46.0`,
and the contract publishes it under Retired. The route, its validation
schema, the `PreviewFeatures` OpenAPI schemas and the settings module
are deleted.
- Migration 0485 drops `users.preview_features_json` under a bounded lock
wait, with the retry marker.
- The backup no longer writes the field. A file from v1.44 or v1.45 that
carries it still restores: the schema accepts it and no codec reads it,
so nothing is refused or written for it. The backup-parity goldens
lose the field and apply one setting fewer.
- The data-wipe plan entry and the sharing-surface actor entry go with
the route (frozen count 273 -> 272).
No client build reads the route: neither iOS repository nor any local
checkout references it.
Thirteen of the table's files had been deleted or renamed since it was
written. The entries were dead weight; nothing reads a timing for a file
that is not there.
Vitest's --shard cut the file list into slices of equal length, which gave
the integration shards 954 s to 1 449 s. A sequencer now deals files out by
their measured duration, plus a fixed per-file cost for import and setup,
longest first to the shard with the least work, and starts the longest files
first inside a shard. Timings live in tests/durations/*.json and are
regenerated from Vitest JSON reports with scripts/test-durations.mjs; every
CI shard uploads its report.
Integration shards run three workers each, one cloned database per worker.
The unit suite runs as three projects decided per file from its source:
guards and unit share a module graph inside a worker, isolated keeps a fresh
one for every file that mocks, spies, stubs or resets. In CI it is three
duration-balanced shards next to a job for lint, format, types and the
OpenAPI drift check.
The required check names stay as they were. "Lint, Typecheck & Test" is now
the job that answers for the static checks and every unit shard, the way
"integration" already answers for its shards. The browser-install guard
recognises a direct, flags-only vitest run as a run of the unit suite.
