C2: Fix coverage.sh — remove || true from lcov capture/extract steps so real
lcov failures are visible; empty coverage.info now exits with code 3.
C3: Add coverage gate to quality-gates CI job (SKIP_COVERAGE_GATE=1 ramp-up
mode until I5 is resolved — fast suite covers ~9.6% not 80%). Thresholds:
80% line / 70% branch / 90% function (agreed 2026-05-31).
V1: Wrap JSON parse + field extraction in try/catch — nlohmann parse_error and
type_error now surface as std::runtime_error with the file path.
V2: Wrap stoi/stod in XML Solver parser — missing/non-numeric attributes throw
std::runtime_error instead of leaking std::invalid_argument.
V4: Validate required JSON keys (dof_vector, solver, solver.*) before access —
missing field produces a clear named-field error message.
I2: 6 serialization negative tests (missing file, malformed JSON, missing
dof_vector, missing solver block, missing XML file, non-numeric XML attr).
I3: load_mesh throws on non-triangulated (quad) mesh — covers the
is_triangle_mesh guard that was previously untested.
I4: spherical_hessian throws on edge DOFs — covers the logic_error guard.
290/290 tests pass (+8 new).

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
Style / convention gates (run on every commit; cheap)
| Script | What it checks | Wall time | Prereqs |
|---|---|---|---|
license-headers.sh |
every C++ source carries SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT |
~1 s | bash |
check-doc-freshness.sh |
string-only doc drift: version/date agree across CITATION/CHANGELOG/CLAUDE; doc-map count matches doc/**/*.md |
<1 s | bash |
cgal-conventions.py |
CGAL-1…6: include-guard format, \file brief, namespace nesting, tag-naming, no using namespace, no stray #define |
~1 s | python3 |
clang-format.sh |
every C++ source matches .clang-format (dry-run by default; --fix to apply) |
~2 s | clang-format ≥ 15 |
cmake-format.sh |
every CMakeLists.txt matches .cmake-format.yaml + passes cmake-lint |
~2 s | cmake-format (pip: cmakelang) |
codespell.sh |
typo check across docs + source comments + script messages | ~1 s | codespell |
shellcheck.sh |
static analysis of every scripts/**/*.sh |
~1 s | shellcheck |
cppcheck.sh |
second-opinion static analyser over code/include/ |
~5 s | cppcheck |
../check-markdown-links.py |
every internal markdown link resolves | ~2 s | python3 |
Correctness / quality gates (run before tagging or reviewer demos)
| Script | What it checks | Wall time | Prereqs |
|---|---|---|---|
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
# 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:
- The gate is green on the canonical dev machine. If the script exits 1 today, the CI gate would block every PR.
- There is a published policy line in
doc/release-policy.mdthat 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.shdoes not download CGAL. Each version must already be on the dev machine under~/cgal/<ver>/(override withCGAL_ROOTS=...:...). The Dockerfile under.gitea/docker/Dockerfile.ci-cppcould be extended to ship multiple CGAL trees in a single image; not done yet.sanitizers.shonly instruments the fast (non-CGAL) test suite — the CGAL templates are too expensive to compile under instrumentation on most laptops.clang-tidy.shrequires a.clang-tidyconfig in the repo root; the default Anthropic-quality lint set is intentionally minimal until the reviewer signs off on the warning policy.reproducible-build.shchecks the test executables only. The library is header-only, so there is nothing else to compare.
