## Problem

Unit tests do not exercise the complete ACP subprocess transcript, while real-API tests are nondeterministic and key-gated. Editor-facing `session/update` output can therefore regress despite green unit coverage, as the [default-export postmortem](../../../../docs/postmortem/0001-acp-default-export-drops-inject.md) demonstrated.

Unit tests do not exercise the complete assembled-agent subprocess or its ACP automation wire, while real-API tests are nondeterministic and key-gated. Loader wiring, backend behavior, and protocol output can therefore regress despite green unit coverage, as the [default-export postmortem](../../../../docs/postmortem/0001-acp-default-export-drops-inject.md) demonstrated.
|

|
||||
The blocker for a full-transcript test is the model: the agent's output is driven by a non-deterministic LLM, and a key-gated test that hits the real API on every run is neither deterministic nor CI-runnable. We want the fidelity of a real run with the determinism of a fixture.

A snapshot run asserts **two** normalized surfaces, because the harness's external surfaces are distinct:

1. The **stdout transcript** — the framed `session/update` JSON-RPC the editor sees. Catches regressions in the ACP bridge's event→update translation (`streamSessionEventUpdate`). Compared against a committed `stdout.expected.jsonl`.

1. The **stdout transcript** — the framed ACP JSON-RPC responses and committed-message updates an automation client receives. It catches regressions in the transport contract and is compared against a committed `stdout.expected.jsonl`.

2. The **re-persisted session JSONL**, normalized and compared with `session.jsonl`. The same fixture is both replay source and expected log. Prompt text is scrubbed; one scenario per header class pins readable prompt and tool content as described in the [header-pinning Agent Note](2026-07-06-pin-request-header-content-in-one-scenario.md). Override scenarios derive model behavior solely from their sidecar.

The surfaces are complementary: stdout covers bridge projection, while JSONL covers loop, tool, and boundary structure that the projection omits.

Normalization replaces session, cwd, protocol-id, timestamp, path, and process volatility while preserving deterministic sequence numbers. Scenarios constrain real bash use to stable commands. The stdout expected output remains wire-shaped JSONL and every raw line must parse as JSON. Vitest updates only the stdout expected output; normalized session equality never overwrites the replay fixture.

## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
The new tier adds reviewed per-scenario input, session, stdout, optional override, and optional workspace fixtures. Workspace seeds are copied into the generated cwd for both record and replay. In return the tier provides deterministic keyless transcript coverage through the real Loader and tool composition. The subprocess, input, workspace, normalization, and replay harness can support examples beyond ACP.

In return the tier provides deterministic keyless coverage through the real Loader and tool composition. Most retained scenarios exercise the assembled backend rather than ACP; the [automation-only ACP decision](../simplification/2026-07-23-acp-automation-only-protocol.md#snapshot-boundary) records the explicit follow-up to move that corpus to a transport-neutral headless suite.

This Agent Note relates to but does not supersede the [proposed determinism Agent Note](../../proposed/testing/2026-06-11-deterministic-and-stress-testing.md): that proposal's "universal replay fixture" re-derives session *message history* after every test (an internal-consistency invariant), whereas snapshot tests pin the *external protocol output*. They are complementary — one guards the event-sourcing invariant, the other guards the editor-facing contract.

## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
The harness leans hard on real-API tests by policy: [docs/testing.md](../../../../docs/testing.md) argues that a no-key suite proves the plumbing but not the product, and the [ACP inject postmortem](../../../../docs/postmortem/0001-acp-default-export-drops-inject.md) is the standing proof — 178 keyless tests stayed green while a real editor session crashed instantly. The real-API e2e suite (`pnpm run test:e2e`, the `*.e2e.ts` files) exists precisely to close that gap: it drives the agent against the live DeepSeek API — real model calls, real bash tools, multi-turn, resume, ACP-over-stdio.

The default gate ([.github/workflows/ci.yml](../../../../.github/workflows/ci.yml)) is deliberately keyless: it carries no secret and runs for forks. `test:e2e` self-skips without a key (`describe.skipIf(!process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY)`), so adding it there would report green without exercising the real suite. A separate secret-bearing workflow is required to make real-API coverage a merge signal.

The hook bridges — [`dsh-hooks-claude`](../../../../packages/hooks/hooks-claude) (7 Claude Code hook points) and [`dsh-hooks-codex`](../../../../packages/hooks/hooks-codex) (5 Codex points) — map external hook commands onto the harness interception seams. They carry deep unit and coverage-spec coverage (every decision arm, every payload dialect, driven against a mocked seam) plus one key-gated e2e (`hooks.e2e.ts`, a live `PreToolUse` block). But the full-transcript snapshot tier — the one net that boots the real `acp-agent` subprocess, replays a recorded session keyless, and diffs the normalized ACP stdout + re-persisted log against committed expected outputs — covered exactly ONE hook: a Claude `UserPromptSubmit` block (`hook-cc-promptsubmit-block`).

That is the tier a mocked unit test structurally cannot be: it exercises the REAL bridge translating a REAL hook process's outcome into the REAL seam decision, then the REAL loop's reaction, rendered exactly as an editor sees it. A bridge-translation or loop-structure regression that left every unit green would still escape it for every hook point but one — and for the Codex bridge, the ACP example did not even LOAD it, so no Codex hook could fire end-to-end at all.
