CI gates (active on every PR via .gitea/workflows/)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. test-count consistency
cpp-tests.yml gains a step after test-cgal that runs
`scripts/check-test-counts.sh` against the just-built ./build dir
(reuse via new BUILD_DIR env var, ~5 s overhead). Drift between
`doc/api/tests.md` and ctest reality now fails the PR.
2. End-to-end smoke
`scripts/try_it.sh` (the documented user quick-start) is now part of
the CGAL job, so README quick-start regressions fail the PR rather
than silently breaking when users land.
3. Internal markdown link checker
New `.gitea/workflows/markdown-links.yml` + `scripts/check-markdown
-links.py`. PRs that touch any *.md file run the check; main pushes
trigger it too; a weekly cron catches external link rot. Pure
Python, no third-party action. Validated against the current tree:
122 internal links across 37 *.md files, 0 broken.
Local quality scripts (`scripts/quality/`, not in CI)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
* `license-headers.sh` — `SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT` audit over
code/{include,src,tests}/. Currently
reports 60/66 files missing it — that's
a follow-up; the script captures the
structural gap.
* `sanitizers.sh` — ASan + UBSan over the fast test suite.
* `coverage.sh` — gcov/lcov line + branch coverage of
code/include/, HTML report under
build-coverage/lcov-html/.
* `clang-tidy.sh` — runs the curated `.clang-tidy` policy over
every public header.
* `multi-compiler.sh` — sequential build + test against every
detected g++/clang++ (auto-discovery or
explicit list).
* `cgal-version-matrix.sh`— sequential build + CGAL test suite against
every CGAL tree under `~/cgal/<ver>/` (or
via `CGAL_ROOTS=...` env var).
* `reproducible-build.sh`— two `Release -j1` builds, fail if any test
executable byte-differs.
* `run-all.sh` — driver: `--fast` for the ~5-min subset,
no arg for the ~25–40 min full sweep;
captures per-gate logs to
build-quality-logs/.
+ `.clang-tidy` — curated, deliberately-small policy (only
checks that fire on OUR code, never on
transitive CGAL/Eigen/Boost headers).
+ `scripts/quality/README.md` — explains the structure, lists each
gate's wall-time + prereqs, and codifies
the promotion path: a gate moves into CI
only when it's green on the dev machine
AND has a recovery-instructions paragraph
in `doc/release-policy.md`.

# Local structural quality gates
|
||
|
||
This directory contains the structural quality checks that run **locally**
|
||
rather than in CI. They are intentionally not wired into
|
||
`.gitea/workflows/` (yet) because each is either too slow, too brittle
|
||
against the runner environment, or both — running them before a release
|
||
or before showing the repo to an external reviewer is the intended
|
||
workflow.
|
||
|
||
The CI gates that *are* enforced live in `.gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml`
|
||
and `.gitea/workflows/doxygen-pages.yml`; they cover the day-to-day
|
||
correctness loop (build + test + doxygen-coverage + test-count
|
||
consistency + markdown links + end-to-end smoke via `try_it.sh`).
|
||
|
||
## What runs locally
|
||
|
||
| Script | What it checks | Wall time | Prereqs |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `license-headers.sh` | every C++ source carries `SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT` | ~1 s | `bash` |
|
||
| `../check-markdown-links.py` | every internal markdown link resolves | ~2 s | `python3` |
|
||
| `sanitizers.sh` | fast test suite under ASan + UBSan | ~3 min | `clang++` ≥ 14 or `g++` ≥ 11 |
|
||
| `coverage.sh` | gcov/lcov line + branch coverage of `code/include/` | ~2 min | `lcov` |
|
||
| `clang-tidy.sh` | curated clang-tidy checks over public headers | ~2 min | `clang-tidy` ≥ 14, `.clang-tidy` |
|
||
| `multi-compiler.sh` | build + test under every detected gcc/clang | ~5 min × N compilers | any 2 of `g++`, `clang++` |
|
||
| `reproducible-build.sh` | two builds → byte-identical test executables | ~6 min | none beyond compiler |
|
||
| `cgal-version-matrix.sh` | build + CGAL test suite against multiple CGAL versions | ~5 min × N versions | CGAL trees under `~/cgal/<ver>/` (or `CGAL_ROOTS=...`) |
|
||
|
||
## How to use
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Fast subset (license + links + sanitizers + clang-tidy) — ~5 min total
|
||
bash scripts/quality/run-all.sh --fast
|
||
|
||
# Full sweep — ~25–40 min, intended for pre-release tagging
|
||
bash scripts/quality/run-all.sh
|
||
|
||
# One specific gate
|
||
bash scripts/quality/sanitizers.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Every gate writes its full output to `build-quality-logs/<gate>.log`
|
||
when invoked via `run-all.sh`, and to its own per-gate build directory
|
||
(`build-sanitizers/`, `build-coverage/`, `build-multi-<cc>/`, …) when
|
||
invoked directly.
|
||
|
||
## Promotion path to CI
|
||
|
||
Each gate can be wired into `.gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml` once two
|
||
conditions are met:
|
||
|
||
1. **The gate is green on the canonical dev machine.** If the script
|
||
exits 1 today, the CI gate would block every PR.
|
||
2. **There is a published policy line in `doc/release-policy.md`** that
|
||
explains what regression the gate catches and what the recovery is.
|
||
Future contributors should be able to read the error and know what
|
||
to fix.
|
||
|
||
Promoting a gate is a one-line change to `cpp-tests.yml`; the test
|
||
recipe is the script invocation itself.
|
||
|
||
## Known limitations
|
||
|
||
- `cgal-version-matrix.sh` does not download CGAL. Each version must
|
||
already be on the dev machine under `~/cgal/<ver>/` (override with
|
||
`CGAL_ROOTS=...:...`). The Dockerfile under
|
||
`.gitea/docker/Dockerfile.ci-cpp` could be extended to ship multiple
|
||
CGAL trees in a single image; not done yet.
|
||
- `sanitizers.sh` only instruments the fast (non-CGAL) test suite —
|
||
the CGAL templates are too expensive to compile under instrumentation
|
||
on most laptops.
|
||
- `clang-tidy.sh` requires a `.clang-tidy` config in the repo root; the
|
||
default Anthropic-quality lint set is intentionally minimal until the
|
||
reviewer signs off on the warning policy.
|
||
- `reproducible-build.sh` checks the test executables only. The
|
||
library is header-only, so there is nothing else to compare.
