🎯 Changes

Concurrent Playwright processes were deleting each other's artifacts, while five browser projects competed on the four-core audit runner. Give every example its own results directory and run two projects at a time with one browser worker each. Preserve the Nx retry runner and Playwright CI retry, and retain failure traces.

Clean up spawned server process groups even when navigation fails, and warm Vite’s entry module graph before browser navigation. Add regression coverage for overlapping artifact writers, default retries, and server cleanup, include shared E2E configuration/helpers in Nx cache inputs, and retain failure artifacts in the release audit. E2E runs in the release audit and locally; PRs use the regular checks without an E2E job. Bound realtime smoke workloads and configure controls while paused. Check delivered messages and rendered price changes instead of instantaneous rates or sampled timing marks. Use explicit Node process types in the server helper to avoid browser-global declarations breaking example type checks.

Validation: all five previously failing type-check targets and all four infrastructure regressions pass. The five newly failing realtime examples each passed three runs at 6× CPU throttling with retries disabled (15/15). Full pnpm test passed (891 tasks), and full pnpm test:e2e passed all 398 projects without a second Nx pass. Linux Test and E2E are green; all 398 E2E projects passed in CI, on the validated revision. The subsequent removal of the PR E2E job passed workflow formatting and whitespace checks.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm test and pnpm test:e2e, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests

    • Improved end-to-end test coverage across supported realtime-trading examples, including feed updates, worker message delivery, and renderer selection.
    • E2E tests now use more consistent, controlled workloads and verify observable price updates reliably.
    • Improved test isolation, retries, process cleanup, and parallel execution behavior.
  • Chores

    • The release workflow retains failed E2E results and traces for troubleshooting.
    • Changes to E2E infrastructure correctly invalidate cached test runs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds CI E2E jobs and failure artifacts, updates retry and Playwright isolation behavior, improves example-server cleanup, revises realtime trading smoke tests, and adds infrastructure tests for these behaviors.

Changes

E2E reliability and execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
E2E execution and retry flow
nx.json, package.json, scripts/run-e2e-with-retry.mjs, playwright.config.ts
E2E scripts now run infrastructure checks, support affected execution, retry failures, use fixed workers, and isolate per-project results.
Process isolation and cleanup validation
tests/e2e/helpers/startExampleServer.ts, scripts/tests/e2e-infrastructure.test.mjs
Server processes are tracked and terminated. Infrastructure tests validate concurrent artifacts, retry arguments, and descendant cleanup.
Realtime trading smoke flows
examples/*/realtime-trading/tests/e2e/smoke.spec.ts
Smoke tests use controlled paused-feed settings, named renderer selection, price-change checks, and cumulative worker-message assertions.
CI execution and failure artifacts
.github/workflows/pr.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml
Pull request and release workflows run or collect E2E results, including failure artifacts retained for seven days.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1ce30

E2E runs can leak servers on Windows or hang when Angular exits early, so these lifecycle defects should be fixed before merge.

Terminate the complete process tree on Windows.

pnpm exec vite and pnpm exec ng serve run without detached process groups on Windows. child.kill('SIGKILL') terminates only the tracked pnpm process, so Vite or Angular descendants can remain alive after close() or test.afterAll(). This can leak servers across E2E tasks.

Use taskkill /T /F or an equivalent process-tree termination API in the Windows branch. Keep process-group termination for Unix systems.

Reject Angular startup when the child exits before URL detection.

startAngularExampleServer clears the 90-second timeout for every exit event, but it rejects only for non-zero exit codes. If Angular exits with code 0 before output contains a URL, the startup promise remains pending indefinitely because its timeout was cleared. Reject every pre-URL exit and include the exit code and captured output in the error.
