test(engine): never silent as a property of every export format by Mavrick-F · Pull Request #1904 · opengeos/RustGIS

Mavrick-F · 2026-11-13T03:18:54Z

Summary

This makes property testing part of CI, starting with one property. AGENTS.md's "never silent" rule says a writer that drops or changes data says so. Until now, only hand-written cases for each writer checked it. This adds it as a property test over every export format. A generated layer is exported with share.exportLayer and added back with layer.addData. It must come back the same, or the export must say something.

crates/engine/tests/never_silent_roundtrip.rs. Layers lean on edges:
- field names that formats treat specially (lat, x, NAME beside name, long, Unicode);
- extreme and non-finite numbers, odd and long text, and nulls;
- multipoints, the antimeridian and the poles.
The formats are GeoJSON, CSV, FlatGeobuf, GeoPackage, GeoParquet, Shapefile, KML and GPX. Features are matched by content, because FlatGeobuf reorders them.
A change must be said by a notice that names it: one naming the changed field (from the export or the reading), or for a change in no field (geometry, feature count), an export notice. Each format is compared with what it says it holds: without the features it leaves out for having no geometry, and with NaN and infinity as null where it says so. Integers and coordinates compare exactly.
What a format can't hold is listed, with the reason (LIMITS):
- CSV, KML and GPX hold text, and reading types each column from its values, so a yes/no field reads back as True/False text;
- dBase pads text and has no null text;
- a field that is null everywhere has no type to read back.
Two of these do change text: spaces trimmed from the ends (CSV, Shapefile, KML/GPX), and empty text read back as null. They're marked as kept until an export says so (Exports don't say when text is trimmed, blank text becomes null, or an empty field is left out #1907).
Pull requests run seed 1 with 256 cases, about 1.5 s. The nightly runs a new seed (the run id) with 2,000 cases in the Linux real-data job, so a failure opens the usual nightly issue. A failure gives the seed and the smallest layer that changed without a notice. PROPERTY_SEED and PROPERTY_CASES run it again by hand.
One convention for every property test, in docs/contributing.md › Property tests: an integration test seeded from PROPERTY_SEED (1 by default) running PROPERTY_CASES cases, a fixed seed on pull requests, a new seed nightly, and an allow-list in the test with a reason per entry. The nightly step runs a list of them; the next property tests (extent reads, reprojection and geodesic identities, parallel equals serial, project save and open) add themselves to it in their own pull requests.
proptest is a dev-dependency. That is any-maintainer approval in docs/maintaining.md. It adds three crates (proptest, rand_xorshift, unarray, all MIT/Apache-2.0), with default features off. It builds only for tests, so the apps and the browser build don't change, and the licence notices are unchanged.

Testing

cargo xtask ci (the fork's CI); cargo deny check licenses; cargo xtask notices (unchanged).
Seeds 1–6 at 500 cases each pass on main. Seed 4 found a KML reader that dropped an extended data key named like its name column (NAME beside name), fixed in fix(data): KML extended data named like a placemark column keeps its values #1900.
The test catches what it should. On main before fix(data): a CSV export writes its coordinate columns first #1862, seed 1 fails at 256 cases on a CSV export that read a lat field back as the coordinate (A point layer's CSV export reads back with a field named lat, x or longitude as a coordinate #1856). Before fix(data): a GeoPackage export says which field names it changed #1863, seed 4 fails on a GeoPackage export that renamed NAME to NAME_1. Writing numbers rounded to 6 decimals again (the bug fix(data): KML, GPX and CSV with WKT write numbers in full and null names as nothing #1786 fixed) fails at once: csv: changed without a notice: ["number changed (a0_: Float(127030.66164771566) → Float(127030.661648))"].

It came out of a private property-testing pilot that found the bugs fixed in #1778, #1780 and #1786. The generators and the oracle are the parts that found them, cut down to one test.

Related issue

#1907 lists the entries in LIMITS that are silent changes rather than format limits (trimming, blanks read as null, a KML/GPX field of nulls left out).

Walkthrough

The PR adds seeded property tests that generate layers, export and reimport them across eight formats, and check whether observed changes produce notices. It also configures nightly runs and documents the property-test settings.

Changes: Generated-layer round-trip validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Property-test inputs and limits `Cargo.toml`, `crates/engine/Cargo.toml`, `crates/engine/tests/never_silent_roundtrip.rs`	Adds `proptest`, strategies for generated layer data, and declarations for accepted format-specific limitations.
Round-trip comparison `crates/engine/tests/never_silent_roundtrip.rs`	Adds export and reimport handling, value and geometry comparisons, and change detection based on fields, features, and notices.
Seeded test execution `crates/engine/tests/never_silent_roundtrip.rs`, `.github/workflows/nightly.yml`, `docs/contributing.md`	Adds the seeded property-test loop. Nightly runs use the workflow run ID as the seed and run 2,000 cases. The contributing guide documents the test settings and rerun command.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 42082

This PR adds a property test for export round trips and changes no product behavior. The test can still miss a geometry or feature-count loss when an unrelated notice is present, and it does not check that clean round trips produce no notice. Both gaps weaken the test's protection but do not block merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a never-silent round-trip property test applied across every export format. It is specific, concise, and matches the changeset (never_silent_roundtrip.rs, proptest dev-dependency, nightly workflow). It follows the conventional commit style used for the scope (engine).

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's Summary and Testing sections with substantive content. The Summary explains the property test, the formats covered, the seed and case policy, and the proptest dependency. The Testing section lists commands run, seeds tested, and regressions caught. The template's UI evidence section is not present, though the template says to keep the 'No visible UI change.' line, which the description omits. The Related issue section is present and references #1907, though it does not use the 'Closes' or 'Part of' form. These are minor gaps. The description is mostly complete.

+            if said.is_empty() && !silent.is_empty() {


Bug (test oracle, high confidence): the check is said.is_empty(), but said holds every notice from the export except Exported …. Any unrelated notice (for example "field names cut" from Shapefile) suppresses the failure for every other undeclared change in that export. The doc comment says a failure means "changed without a notice", but the code only checks that some notice was given.

Fix direction: each undeclared change needs a notice that names its kind or its field. Until then, the test passes whenever a format says anything at all, which is what the LIMITS allow-list relies on.

Fixed in 84c9924. A change now needs a notice that names its field (from the export or from reading the file back), or, for a change in no field (geometry, feature count), an export notice. Tightening it found real gaps the old check hid; each format is now compared with what it says it holds (no features it leaves out for having no geometry, NaN and infinity as null where it says so).

+    let mark = s.notice_mark();
+    s.run("share.exportLayer", &json!({"layer": "layer", "path": path})).ok()?;


Test coverage hole (high confidence on mechanism): .ok()? drops every export error silently, and the format is skipped for that layer. A panic caught by Session::run, or a regression that makes one format refuse every layer, passes the test with zero cases checked.

Suggest counting refusals per format and failing when a format refuses the layers it should hold (or refuses more than a set share of cases). The refusal reason should be checked against an expected list, the same way LIMITS is.

Fixed in 84c9924: an export error that is a crash caught by Session::run ("stopped unexpectedly") fails the case, and the test fails if any format writes none of the layers.

+        _ => a == b || number(a).zip(number(b)).is_some_and(|(x, y)| x == y),


Bug (oracle, high confidence on mechanism): the fallback arm also compares two Int values through f64, so Int(2^53 + 1) and Int(2^53) count as the same number. The generator's 2^53 + 1 and i64::MAX edge values therefore cannot catch integer precision loss in any format.

Suggested fix: compare integers exactly and keep the f64 comparison only for mixed types.

Suggested change

_ => a == b || number(a).zip(number(b)).is_some_and(|(x, y)| x == y),

(Value::Int(x), Value::Int(y)) => x == y,

_ => a == b || number(a).zip(number(b)).is_some_and(|(x, y)| x == y),

Fixed in 84c9924: integers compare exactly, a mixed integer and float only when the float is that whole number within range, and text read back as an integer is parsed as one.

+        (_, Value::Text(y)) if reads_as(y, a) => "number became text".into(),


Oracle looser than its message (medium confidence): the generic labels number became text and boolean became text are declared for CSV, KML and GPX whatever the content. The True/False guard on the boolean arm only changes the wording, not the classification, and the number arm accepts any text read back from a number. A writer that approximates a number when the column reads back as text would pass.

Suggest checking the content in the number and boolean arms too, or labelling the fallback so declared can tell a format's real limit from an arbitrary change.

Fixed in 84c9924: a value that changed is labelled … changed to …, which no limit allows; number became text and boolean became text now mean the same value as text.

+const LIMITS: &[(&str, &str, &str)] = &[
+    // CSV holds text: reading trims each cell, types each column from its values (`text_type`)
+    // and reads an empty cell as null.
+    ("csv", "text trimmed", "reading trims the spaces around a cell"),


AGENTS.md (never silent, medium-high confidence): the rule says "Existing silent losses are bugs." This allow-list makes CSV trimming and blank→null, the same on Shapefile and KML/GPX, plus bool/number→text and field drops, the expected behaviour of the test. The PR says these are "kept until an export says so", which is honest, but the PR body lists no issue for any of them.

Suggest opening an issue per entry and linking it from the PR, so the list shrinks as they are fixed. Also, "field of nulls missing" for KML/GPX drops a column silently and is not covered by the trimming wording above it.

Filed #1907 for trimming, blanks read as null and a KML/GPX field of nulls left out; the comment above LIMITS points to it, and so does the PR description.

+    let q = |c: &Coord| ((c.x * 1e7).round() as i64, (c.y * 1e7).round() as i64);


AGENTS.md (medium confidence): docs/contributing.md says a property's tolerances are listed in the test with a reason. This 1e-7° quantization is a tolerance, and it isn't in LIMITS or anywhere else with a reason. A writer that rounds coordinates to 7 decimals would pass silently, which is the same silent-approximation problem the test exists to catch.

Suggest either listing it with its reason or comparing exactly where the formats store doubles exactly (GeoParquet, FlatGeobuf, GeoPackage).

Fixed in 84c9924: coordinates now compare exactly. Every format brought them back bit for bit over seeds 1–6, so the 1e-7° tolerance wasn't needed.

Code review

Bugs

The property's failure check passes whenever an export gives any notice, not one that covers the change. said is every notice except Exported …, so an unrelated notice (such as "field names cut") hides every other silent change in that export. Confidence: high. Inline comment on line 337.
Integer values are compared through f64, so Int(2^53+1) and Int(2^53) count as equal and the generator's large-integer edge cases can't catch precision loss. Confidence: high on mechanism, medium on whether a writer actually loses precision. Inline comment on line 213, with a suggestion.
The generic labels number became text and boolean became text are declared for CSV, KML and GPX whatever the content, so the allow-list accepts any such change. Confidence: medium. Inline comment on line 224.

Test coverage

trip turns every export error into a skip (.ok()?). A format that refuses every layer, or a caught panic, passes with zero cases checked. Confidence: high on mechanism. Inline comment on line 175.
Greedy feature matching (line 308) can pair a feature with the wrong partner and report a change that isn't there. That is a false failure, not a miss. Confidence: low.

Security

None found. The test writes only to a temp directory under the process id and removes it afterwards. The new proptest dependency is dev-only and its licences are permissive.

Performance

None significant. The pull-request run is about 1.5 s and the nightly is about 2,000 cases.

Quality

env() falls back silently on a malformed PROPERTY_SEED or PROPERTY_CASES, and PROPERTY_CASES=0 passes with no cases run. Confidence: low.
The shape() doc says polygon parts are kept in order, but the code sorts all rings across parts, so moving a hole between parts is not detected. Confidence: low.

AGENTS.md

The allow-list records existing silent losses (CSV/Shapefile trimming, blank text read as null, bool and number read as text, KML/GPX dropping all-null fields) as expected behaviour. The rule says "Existing silent losses are bugs". The PR body links no issue for them. Confidence: medium-high. Inline comment on line 27.
The 1e-7° coordinate quantization is a tolerance that isn't listed in the test with a reason, as docs/contributing.md requires. Confidence: medium. Inline comment on line 234.
The AGENTS.md rule "clean input gives no notice" is not tested, because the property checks only the changed-layer direction. Confidence: low-medium.

I checked and found no problem with: the nightly step's placement and seed (github.run_id), proptest being under [dev-dependencies] (the apps and wasm builds are unaffected), and the synchronous export path (write_here runs before layer.addData reads the file).

Prior reviews: none on this PR, so nothing was left out as already raised.

on unchanged scheduled nights: the `workflows` job is gated by
`needs.changed.outputs.run`. If it must run every night, move the step to a job
without that gate and provide its own checkout and Rust toolchain setup; if it
should remain skipped, update the workflow header to document that behavior.

Review comments at @crates/engine/tests/never_silent_roundtrip.rs:
- Line 255: Update the shape-comparison logic around the `rings` collection to
canonicalize each polygon independently, preserving the distinction between its
exterior and holes, then sort the canonical polygons before comparison. Do not
flatten rings across polygon boundaries, so changes in polygon membership remain
detectable.
- Line 213: Update the fallback comparison using a and b so integer pairs are
compared exactly without converting through f64. For mixed integer/float pairs,
compare only after a range-checked conversion that preserves exactness; keep the
existing behavior for other value pairs.
- Line 223: Update the Value::Float-to-Value::Text match arm so it treats text
as an encoding only when it represents the original non-finite value; classify
mismatched text as a value change instead. Preserve the existing handling for
other value pairs.
- Line 337: Update the `said` and `silent` checks so each detected loss must
have a corresponding notice, rather than allowing any notice to mask unrelated
silent losses. Cover both cases: lossy input produces the notice for each loss,
while clean input produces none.

A generated layer exported to each format and added back comes back the same, or the export says something. Format limits are listed with their reasons. Pull requests run a fixed seed; the nightly a new seed with more cases. proptest is a dev-dependency. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A change now needs a notice that names its field (the export's or the reading's), or any export notice for a change in no field, rather than any notice at all. Each format is compared with what it says it holds: without features that have no geometry, with NaN and infinity as null. Integers compare exactly, coordinates exactly, a polygon's rings stay in their polygon, and a value that changed is told apart from one a format only retyped. An export that crashes, or a format that refuses every layer, fails. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+            let (said, back) = match trip(&ds, ext, &sub) {
+                Ok(trip) => trip,
+                // A refusal says why, but a crash caught by `Session::run` is a bug.
+                Err(e) if e.contains("stopped unexpectedly") => return Err(TestCaseError::fail(format!("{ext}: {e}"))),


Bug (test oracle, high confidence): the crash check never matches. Session::run reports a panic caught in a registered command as "{label} failed unexpectedly" (crates/engine/src/policy/dispatch.rs:901-914, same wording in cmd/exports.rs:241). Nothing in the engine emits "stopped unexpectedly" for an export; that string belongs to plugins (cmd/plugins.rs:1043) and sample downloads. So a panicking export falls through to Err(_) => continue on line 372 and is counted as a refusal. The reply on the earlier thread says this was fixed in 84c9924, but the string it matches is the wrong one. A format that panics on every layer it is given still passes, as long as it writes at least one layer somewhere else.

Suggested fix:

Suggested change

Err(e) if e.contains("stopped unexpectedly") => return Err(TestCaseError::fail(format!("{ext}: {e}"))),

Err(e) if e.contains("failed unexpectedly") || e.contains("stopped unexpectedly") => {

return Err(TestCaseError::fail(format!("{ext}: {e}")));

}

It would also help to add a regression case: a stub command that panics, asserting the test fails. Without one, this stays unchecked.

Fixed in 6ad1947: a caught crash is matched as "failed unexpectedly" as well as "stopped unexpectedly".

github-actions · 2026-11-13T04:11:37Z

+                Some(f) => said.export.iter().chain(&said.read).any(|n| n.contains(&format!("'{f}'"))),
+                None => !said.export.is_empty(),


Oracle still accepts unrelated notices (medium confidence). The field case now needs a notice naming the field. The no-field case (geometry changed, geometry dropped, feature count changed, and a read error, which is not read back) is still satisfied by any export notice: !said.export.is_empty(). The Shapefile writer, for one, says "{name}: N features left out ...", "... cut to at most 254 bytes ..." and similar for unrelated reasons. A dropped vertex or part in a format that also emits one of those would pass without a notice that names the change.

Two related points on the same lines:

The "left out" check on line 378 accepts any notice containing those words, not one about the features actually dropped.

In trip, back is picked from the new layers. When a read returns several layers (GPX), the others are never compared, so features that land in them are not checked at all.

A tighter form would count the features and the geometry changes and require a notice that names the count or the kind.

Left for the release quality pass: a geometry or count change has no field to name, and pairing each kind of change with the words of its notice is open-ended. The test now says this half is looser. The left out check is tied to features without geometry having been dropped, and a GPX layer of track points repeats the track it is compared through.

+fn an_export_that_changes_a_layer_says_so() {
+    let dir = std::env::temp_dir().join(format!("rustgis-never-silent-{}", std::process::id()));


AGENTS.md "Test both ways" (low-medium confidence). AGENTS.md asks that lossy input gives the notice and clean input gives none. This test only checks the first half. Nothing asserts that a layer which comes back unchanged gets no loss notice. A format that always says something passes every case. The declared allow-list hides the same gap for listed kinds.

A possible check: when found is empty, the export's notices should be only the expected ones (features left out for having no geometry, aren't finite numbers). Those exceptions need listing with reasons, like LIMITS.

Left for the release quality pass: this property is that a change is said. A notice for a layer that came back unchanged is a false alarm, a different property, and a better fit for its own test than for this one's allow-lists.

Code review

Bugs

Crash check never fires (high confidence). The test looks for "stopped unexpectedly" to catch a panicking export. Session::run reports a caught panic as "{label} failed unexpectedly" (crates/engine/src/policy/dispatch.rs:901-914). So a panic goes to Err(_) => continue and counts as a refusal. The earlier reply says this was fixed, but it matches the wrong string. Inline comment posted at never_silent_roundtrip.rs:371, with a suggestion.

Security

None found.

Performance

None found. The per-case work is O(n²) in features, which is fine for the 4-feature layers generated.

Quality

Oracle accepts unrelated notices (medium confidence). When a change names no field (geometry changed or dropped, feature count, read error), any export notice satisfies it (:398). The "left out" check at :378 has the same looseness. A read that returns several layers (GPX) has its other layers never compared (:196-198). Inline comment posted at :398.

AGENTS.md

"Test both ways" (low-medium confidence). Nothing asserts that an unchanged round trip gets no loss notice, so a format that always says something passes. Inline comment posted at :352.

Checked and left alone

I checked the notice wording the test matches against: Shapefile names fields in quotes, and the "aren't finite numbers" and "left out" notices exist. The public API the test uses (notice_mark, notices_since, map_mut, data::Coord, Geometry, Value) is exported. The nightly step and the Cargo changes look correct.
Of the 11 earlier threads, 9 are left alone because the author answered them and the answers hold. Two are re-raised with new evidence: the crash-string fix at :371 and the no-field notice case at :398.

+            let said_of = |field: &Option<String>| match field {
+                Some(f) => said.export.iter().chain(&said.read).any(|n| n.contains(&format!("'{f}'"))),


Bug (oracle, medium-high confidence): a notice that names a field covers any value change in that column.

said_of accepts any notice containing '{field}', including the rename or truncation notice for that same column. Example: Shapefile writes 'population_2020' → 'population' when it renames a field. renames() then maps the column, value_change compares its values, and a silent rounding in that column produces population_2020: number changed …. said_of finds 'population_2020' in the rename notice and passes the case. So the earlier "compare values after reported renames" fix still lets a rename notice hide value corruption in the same column.

Suggested direction: a value change needs a notice that says something about the value, not just the name. For example, exclude the notices renames() parsed for that field, or require the notice to contain the change's kind (number, text, boolean…) as well as the field name. Add a regression case where the rename notice is present and a value in that column is altered.

Left for the release quality pass: tying each kind of notice to the kinds of change it covers is the same open-ended pairing as for geometry. Today a field-named notice has to exist where before any notice did.

+    let reads_as = |t: &str, v: &Value| match v {
+        Value::Int(i) => t.trim().parse::<i64>() == Ok(*i),


AGENTS.md "never silent" (medium confidence): text became a number hides real text loss.

reads_as treats text as the same integer when trim().parse::<i64>() matches, so "007" read back as 7 passes as the declared CSV limit text became a number (line 37, and KML/GPX at line 63). Leading zeros in ID, ZIP or code columns are text the reader drops silently. The PR's own #1907 list doesn't include it, and the generator already produces all-digit text such as "123".

A tighter rule only allows text that is the canonical form of the integer:

Suggested change

Value::Int(i) => t.trim().parse::<i64>() == Ok(*i),

Value::Int(i) => t.trim() == i.to_string(),

With this, "007" becomes integer changed to text or similar, which has no declared limit, so the test fails until CSV says so. "123" still passes. Please confirm the CSV reader's behaviour on leading zeros before relying on this, since I could not run the test.

Left for the release quality pass: no reader turns such text into a number today (the CSV reader keeps leading-zero text as text, csv_leading_zeros_and_guard_roundtrip), so this is a hole in the oracle, not a loss it misses.

+    "field type changed",
+    "field of nulls type changed",
+    "field of nulls missing",
+    "field renamed",


Oracle too lenient (medium-low confidence): field renamed is declared for KML and GPX without a reason.

The comment says the name field is written as the feature name. That is covered by the renamed.insert(0, …) at line ~559. But this entry lets any rename in KML or GPX pass with no notice. #1907 lists trimming, blank-to-null and dropped null fields, not renames. kml.rs already notifies renamed extended-data keys ('NAME' → 'NAME_1'), so the blanket is looser than the format needs.

Suggest removing "field renamed" from TEXT_FORMAT_LIMITS and running seeds 1–6. If a case fails, it shows a rename that really is silent.

Left for the release quality pass: the entry covers the name field when it isn't called name, which the mapping now pairs with the name column; narrowing it to that case is a refinement.

Nit (quality pass; not a correctness issue): env() falls back to the default when PROPERTY_SEED or PROPERTY_CASES doesn't parse, and u32::try_from(...).unwrap_or(256) does the same. A typo in the nightly step silently runs seed 1 with 256 cases, which is the thing the nightly exists to avoid. Panicking with the bad value would make it visible. Also, if the create_dir_all(...).unwrap() at line ~522 panics, remove_dir_all(&dir) is skipped, so temp files are left behind.

Left for the release quality pass.

Code review

I could not run the tests or CI here (no shell), so every finding below is from reading the diff and the surrounding code.

Bugs

Field-named notices cover value changes in that column (never_silent_roundtrip.rs:451, medium-high). A rename notice such as 'population_2020' → 'population' names the field, so said_of accepts any value change in that column, including silent rounding. The earlier fix compares values after renames, but the notice still hides them.

Security: none found.

Performance: none found.

Quality

field renamed is declared for KML and GPX without a reason (:60, medium-low). It is not in the Exports don't say when text is trimmed, blank text becomes null, or an empty field is left out #1907 list, and kml.rs already notifies renamed keys, so the blanket allowance is looser than needed.
text became a number hides leading-zero loss (:228, medium). "007" read back as 7 passes as a declared CSV limit, and the PR's Exports don't say when text is trimmed, blank text becomes null, or an empty field is left out #1907 list doesn't cover it. The suggestion tightens the integer comparison.
Nit, quality pass (:75, high). env() and the PROPERTY_CASES parse fall back silently on bad values, and a panic in the directory setup skips cleanup.

AGENTS.md

No new violations found in the changed files. Test code uses unwrap(), which the rule allows.
The nightly step's !cancelled() condition runs the property test even after an earlier failure, which looks intended.

Earlier review threads. There are 17. I left 14 alone because they are fixed, answered, or resolved. I left 3 for the release quality pass as the author answered them (threads on lines 390, 452, 454). I did not re-post any earlier concern verbatim. The finding at :451 is on the same field-name path as an earlier thread, but the remaining hole is different.

+            if said.export.iter().any(|n| n.contains("aren't finite numbers")) {


The non-finite branch never matches an export (medium confidence). The text aren't finite numbers is emitted only by project save (crates/engine/src/durable.rs:86). A grep of crates/ finds no export path that produces it, so this branch looks dead for share.exportLayer, and the comment above it ("An export that says it wrote NaN and infinity as null") describes behaviour the code doesn't check.

What happens instead depends on the writers, which I could not run here. If a writer writes NaN or infinity as null, value_change reports number changed to null. That is undeclared, so it passes only if a notice names the field. If the writers do say something about it, the wording needs to be the export's own, and the test should match that.

Suggested direction: confirm what each writer emits for a non-finite attribute. Then either match that wording here, with a comment naming the writer that says it, or remove the branch and state the rule that applies.

The export says it too: share.exportLayer gives "{path}: {count} attribute value(s) that aren't finite numbers (NaN or infinity) were written as null" (crates/engine/src/cmd/share.rs:792). Seeds 1–6 printed it for GeoPackage and GeoJSON, and failed on exactly this until the branch was added.

Code review

Bugs

The non-finite normalisation at never_silent_roundtrip.rs:430 checks for aren't finite numbers. That text comes only from project save (crates/engine/src/durable.rs:86), so the branch looks dead for exports, and the comment above it describes behaviour the code does not check. Posted inline. Confidence: medium. I could not run the tests, so I have not confirmed what the writers emit for NaN or infinity.

Security

None found in the changed code. The workflow step takes PROPERTY_SEED from github.run_id and PROPERTY_CASES from a literal, with no untrusted input in the run script.

Performance

None worth raising. The test is about 6 ms a case and the nightly runs 2,000 cases.

Quality

Feature pairing in changes() (lines ~500–501) is greedy: each source feature takes its closest unused read-back feature. A poor early pairing can produce extra changes, which means spurious failures rather than missed losses. Confidence: low.

AGENTS.md

Checked the dependency and layout rules: proptest is a dev-dependency only, the licences are permissive, and the nightly step follows the workflows job pattern. No violations found.
Test code calls unwrap() at lines 513 and 527. The repo's other integration tests do the same, so I did not flag it.

Already raised, left alone (9 earlier concerns)

The said_of check accepts any notice that names a field, so a rename or unrelated notice can cover a value change. Answered as a quality-pass item.
Geometry and count changes are satisfied by any export notice. Answered as a quality-pass item.
.ok() refusals are not counted per format. Partly fixed (crash cases now fail the test), but refusal rates are still unchecked.
"Test both ways" (clean input gives no notice) is not tested. Answered as a quality-pass item.
"007" read back as 7 passes under text became a number. Answered: no reader does this today.
field renamed is declared for KML and GPX without a reason. Answered: narrowing is a refinement.

+    let reads_as = |t: &str, v: &Value| match v {
+        Value::Int(i) => t.trim().parse::<i64>() == Ok(*i),
+        Value::Float(f) => t.trim().parse::<f64>().is_ok_and(|m| m == *f),
+        _ => false,


Oracle accepts a silent precision loss (medium-high confidence, not run). reads_as matches a float against text when t.trim().parse::<f64>() equals it. That only checks the f64 round trip, not that the text's digits survive.

Failure case: a CSV column of 20-digit IDs such as "12345678901234567891". text_type (crates/data/src/io.rs:1807-1810) rejects it as an i64 and accepts it as a finite f64, so the column reads back as Double with the digits rounded and no notice. reads_as then sees Text → Float with equal values and classifies it as text became a number, which LIMITS declares for CSV, KML and GPX. The case passes.

The generator's text is at most 12 characters ("[a-zA-Z0-9 ]{0,12}"), so it never produces this. Two changes would close it:

add long digit strings (19–25 digits, and decimals with more than 15 significant digits) to the text choices in value();

accept Text → Float only when the text has no more significant digits than an f64 keeps exactly (about 15), so anything longer is reported as a change.

If the test then fails on the reader, that is a real silent loss in text_type. It would need a notice or to stay text, not a declared limit.

Confirmed from the code: text_type types a 20-digit ID as Double, so CSV, KML and GPX round it silently. That is a reader bug, fixed in its own pull request; the generator gets long digit strings once it lands, so this test doesn't fail on a known bug meanwhile.

github-actions · 2026-11-13T06:37:50Z

Code review

Bugs

Long digit text passes as a number (never_silent_roundtrip.rs:230, medium-high confidence, not run). reads_as accepts text that parses to the same f64, so a 20-digit ID read back as Double with rounded digits is classed as the declared text became a number. The generator's text is at most 12 characters, so the case never runs. Posted inline with the fix direction.

Security

None found. The test writes only under the temp dir and runs no external input beyond the generated layers.

Performance

None significant. The default run is about 1.5 s, and the nightly with 2,000 cases is a few seconds more.

Quality

Nit: written counts a format as having written a layer even when the read-back then fails. The "wrote none of the layers" check is therefore weaker than its message says. Left for the release quality pass.

AGENTS.md

The non-finite branch, the trimmed-text limits and the silent-limit list were checked against the code. Nothing new beyond the finding above.
Dependency and layering rules hold: proptest is a dev-dependency only, and clippy.toml allows unwrap in tests.

Prior threads: 23 earlier threads are on this PR. I did not re-raise any of them. Of these, 12 are answered or fixed in the current head, and 11 are open items the author has left for the release quality pass, such as the 007 leading-zero hole, the broad KML/GPX field renamed entry, and the "test both ways" half.

Code review

I found no new blocking issues. Most substantive concerns on this PR were already raised in earlier threads, and the author has fixed many of them. I read the full diff, the test file, and the engine, data and CI code it relies on. I did not run the tests, clippy or rustfmt, so the checks below are by reading and grep.

Bugs

No new bugs found. The APIs the test uses exist with the signatures it assumes, and the share.exportLayer and layer.addData parameter names match.
Low confidence, unreachable in this test: trip treats any export Err as a refusal and skips the layer. The completion_refused path (crates/engine/src/cmd/exports.rs:74) can return an Err that begins with "Exported", and that would be skipped silently. The headless root session can't reach it, so the test is unaffected.

Security

None found. The change adds only a test, a dev-dependency and a CI step.

Performance

None significant. The per-case work is at most four rows and eight formats, and the nightly 2,000-case run is bounded.

Quality

Low confidence: the test's rename parsing depends on two writer caps. io.rs:2555 keeps five renames, and dbf_notice_name (io.rs:2677) shows names only up to 40 bytes. The generator stays under both today, but a larger generator would produce false failures. This is a quality-pass item.
Already raised: the silent fallback in env() for PROPERTY_SEED and PROPERTY_CASES, and the unwrap() that can skip temp-dir cleanup.

AGENTS.md

Already raised, still open: the "Test both ways" gap (no check that clean round trips produce no notices). The author has deferred it to the release quality pass.
Already raised, still open: the #1907 entries (trimming, blank-to-null, and the KML/GPX null field left out) are declared in LIMITS without an issue per entry. Exports don't say when text is trimmed, blank text becomes null, or an empty field is left out #1907 now exists, so this is partly addressed.
Not re-raised: the non-finite notice. crates/engine/src/cmd/share.rs:792 emits "aren't finite numbers", so the branch in the test is live, as the author showed.

Already raised (left alone): 9. These are the open concerns I did not repeat: leading-zero text read as an integer; the "field renamed" allowance for KML and GPX; 20-digit IDs read as floats; the no-field rule accepting any export notice; the clean-round-trip check; the rename-versus-value masking that is partly fixed; the PROPERTY_SEED fallback; the unwrap cleanup; and the #1907 entries.
