While reading through DateTimeUtils, the early-return guard in convertMillisecondsToHumanReadableFormat was a little terse. This PR:

  • Rewords the comment so it explains that the shortcut only applies when milliseconds are hidden.
  • Tidies the sub-second boundary check so the intent (collapse tiny durations to 0s) is clearer.

No functional change intended — purely a readability pass on a hot helper used across freshness/duration displays.

Reword the comment on the early-return in
convertMillisecondsToHumanReadableFormat so it explains the
milliseconds-hidden case, and tidy the boundary check for sub-second
durations.

Greptile Summary

This change updates the hidden-milliseconds shortcut used by duration displays. Zero milliseconds still displays as 0s, but exactly one second now displays as 0s instead of 1s. Negative sub-second values also lose their default or custom negative prefix.

Confidence Score: 3/5

Not safe to merge until T-Rex findings are addressed.

Focused tests confirmed that zero milliseconds remains stable, compared the behavior before and after the boundary change, and reproduced the negative-prefix loss with both default and custom prefixes.

T-Rex reproduced 2 failing behaviors at runtime in openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/utils/date-time/DateTimeUtils.ts; the change needs fixes before it is safe to merge.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • Inspected the explicit zero-value guard and its focused unit-test assertion, and ran the focused zero-millisecond test to verify the formatter returns 0s.
  • T-Rex produced proof for a posted P1 finding.
  • Ran a focused DateTimeUtils test with yarn and confirmed the targeted test passed with exit code 0.
  • Observed the exact failing runtime outputs and assertion mismatches for negative milliseconds, with no production code changes.
  • Produced proofs for two posted P1 findings and captured DateTimeUtils behavior across two environments.

    P1 Exact one-second duration is incorrectly classified as sub-second

    • Bug
      • With showMilliseconds omitted/false, convertMillisecondsToHumanReadableFormat(1000) returns 0s. The established contract requires 1s, and the focused unit suite fails solely on this assertion.
    • Cause
      • The changed early-return condition at openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/utils/date-time/DateTimeUtils.ts:346 uses timestamp <= 1000, although 1000 ms is exactly one second. The accompanying comment also calls that range “sub-second,” which is inconsistent with an inclusive 1000-ms boundary.
    • Fix
      • Restore the strict boundary: !showMilliseconds && timestamp > 0 && timestamp < 1000. This preserves 0s for positive sub-second values while allowing exactly 1000 ms to reach second extraction and format as 1s.

### Issue 1 of 1
openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/utils/date-time/DateTimeUtils.ts:346
**Exact one-second duration is incorrectly classified as sub-second**

The inclusive `<= 1000` condition returns `0s` for exactly 1000 ms when milliseconds are hidden. One thousand milliseconds is one full second, and the existing formatter contract expects `convertMillisecondsToHumanReadableFormat(1000)` to return `1s`; the focused test suite fails on this assertion. Use a strict `< 1000` boundary so exactly one second reaches the normal seconds formatter.

P1 Preserve one-second boundary
This guard now collapses exactly 1000 milliseconds to 0s when showMilliseconds is false. The duration extraction below would produce seconds = 1 and return 1s, so callers now receive incorrect output at the one-second boundary.

Suggested change
(!showMilliseconds && timestamp > 0 && timestamp <= 1000)
(!showMilliseconds && timestamp > 0 && timestamp < 1000)
Artifacts

Repro: focused Jest output showing expected 1s and received 0s

  • Keeps the command output available without making the summary code-heavy.

Repro: focused DateTimeUtils test file that imports and exercises the actual helper

  • Contains supporting evidence from the run (text/typescript; charset=utf-8).

Greptile Summary

This PR clarifies duration formatting behavior in DateTimeUtils. The main changes are:

  • Reworded the early-return comment for hidden-millisecond duration formatting.
  • Updated the positive sub-second guard in convertMillisecondsToHumanReadableFormat.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The duration-formatting helper still needs attention before merge.

The changed guard affects exact 1000ms inputs by returning 0s instead of the normal 1s output.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • T-Rex produced a proof for the posted P1 finding, as referenced by the review comment.
  • Validation shows the focused Jest test for datetimeutils failing with an assertion of 1s vs 0s for 1000 milliseconds.
  • Review notes indicate the pre-change guard treated 1000ms as not sub-second because the condition used was timestamp < 1000.
  • The diff-context validation ran against the current PR HEAD and reported an empty working-tree diff.

    P1 1000ms is incorrectly formatted as 0s when milliseconds are hidden

    • Bug
      • The focused DateTimeUtils suite fails for the existing boundary expectation convertMillisecondsToHumanReadableFormat(1000) === "1s". On the PR head, the function returns "0s", which is a functional behavior change rather than a readability-only refactor.
    • Cause
      • The sub-second guard now uses timestamp <= 1000 when showMilliseconds is false. That includes exactly one second in the zero/sub-second branch. The previous implementation used timestamp < 1000, allowing 1000ms to be formatted through Luxon as 1s.
    • Fix
      • Change the guard back to timestamp < 1000 for hidden milliseconds, while keeping any readability/comment clarification. For example: (!showMilliseconds && timestamp > 0 && timestamp < 1000).

P1 The boundary change from < 1000 to <= 1000 is a functional regression, not a clarification. When timestamp === 1000 (exactly one second) and showMilliseconds is false, the new guard now short-circuits and returns '0s', even though the duration correctly resolves to '1s' through the main path. The original < 1000 correctly excluded the 1 000 ms edge case from the "sub-second" bucket.
