test(e2e): align live suite with the v2.0 orchestrator output contract

andreibesleaga · claude · andreibesleaga · commit a424aaa8afa6 · 2026-07-30T13:55:15.000+03:00
The live global-research suite (CI-skipped, so the drift went unnoticed)
still asserted the pre-v2.0 orchestrator's log lines — "Search task N/N
queued", "GOVERNANCE REVIEW BY SAGE", "EDITORIAL REVIEW BY MORGAN",
"RESEARCH PUBLISHED" — none of which exist anywhere in the source since
the v2.0 refactor (shared WorkflowOrchestrator + phases.ts + RunLogger,
verified absent on origin/main too). Every scenario failed against a
pipeline that was actually completing successfully.

Rewritten against the real, current contract — stricter than before:
  * stdout phase banners (STEP 1-4, HITL) and phase summaries
    ("SEARCH PHASE COMPLETE — n/N results", "SYNTHESIS COMPLETE (n
    chars)", "Compliance Score: … Recommendation: …")
  * economics/metadata report (tokens, cost, active nodes, context id)
  * NEW: the machine-readable RunLogger JSON is parsed from the "Run log
    saved to &lt;path&gt;" line and its `outcome` field is asserted as the
    authoritative terminal verdict (PUBLISHED on the golden path), plus
    real token totals and per-phase task records.

A governance REJECTED verdict is treated as a legitimate clean stop
(the reviewer gate doing its job on live LLM output), never as a pass
for a broken pipeline: search→write→governance is always asserted, and
whenever the pipeline proceeds the full editorial + HITL + PUBLISHED
chain is required.

Also tightens the OSV SARIF step comment per Copilot review: `always()`
covers OSV-Scanner failing after writing the file; the `hashFiles` guard
covers OSV being skipped entirely.

Verification (live, real LLM via OpenRouter, Docker stack):
  * global-research: npm run test:e2e:live — 4/4 scenarios PASS
    (golden path PUBLISHED, governance CONDITIONAL with recorded task
    tokens, metadata report, 3-searcher fault-tolerance run).
  * blog-team: full Docker stack (redis+gateway+researcher+writer+editor)
    + board dev server — research → write → editorial 8.7/10 → task
    AWAITING_VALIDATION on the state:update stream → PUBLISH decision
    emitted through the board's Vite proxy socket (the Approve button
    path) → gateway ack {ok:true} → outcome PUBLISHED, Board: FINISHED,
    run log clean, exit 0.
