TL;DR

The full e2e dispatch (slow + canary) takes about 30 minutes because the real-expiry spec waits out a 15-minute access token. The CI stack now boots with 2-minute tokens and the spec measures the lifetime from its own login, so that wait is under 3 minutes and a full run should land in about 15. Nothing in the app changes: the lifetime is existing config (Jwt:AccessTokenMinutes), the default stays 15 everywhere but the CI job, and the guarantee the spec proves (the server rejects a genuinely expired token; the refresh cookie carries the session) is the same at 2 minutes as at 15.

Read in this order (three commits, one concern each)

  1. tools/simulation/docker-compose.sim.yml (+ verify-harness.sh, README.md): the knob. One env line passed through with the Production default; the self-check rejects anything outside 1 to 60 (proven: abc fails, 2 and unset pass); the README paragraph says why local reset.sh and the k6 baseline keep 15.
  2. tools/simulation/ui/specs/session-refresh.spec.ts: the measured wait. lifetimeFromLogin registers a wait on the login response before signIn, decodes exp - nbf from the token in that body, and refuses anything outside 1 to 60 minutes. The slow test's timeout is a fixed 20 minutes (it must be set before the login answers); the wait is the measured lifetime plus thirty seconds. The three always-on tests in the file are untouched.
  3. .github/workflows/e2e-smoke.yml: one env entry on the reset step, Jwt__AccessTokenMinutes: "2".

Risk

  • A 2-minute token could trip a refresh mid-test in the quick suite. It does not: the harness signs in per test, and the whole quick suite passed on the 2-minute stack (below). The always-on forces a 401 test still proves the retry path at full speed.
  • k6 personas refresh off the token's own expiry (tools/simulation/k6/auth.js maybeRefresh), so they would cope with 2, but the baseline keeps 15 so the findings on file stay comparable.

Proof, local, stack rebuilt at this head with Jwt__AccessTokenMinutes=2

  • printenv inside the app container: 2.
  • CLUCKWORK_E2E_SLOW=1 npx playwright test specs/session-refresh.spec.ts: 4 passed in 2.7 minutes, the real-boundary test in 2.6 minutes (was about 16).
  • npm test (the quick suite) on the same stack: 54 passed in 1.9 minutes, no refresh tripped mid-test.
  • tsc --noEmit clean in the harness; verify-harness.sh green with the knob set, unset, and red on abc.

A dispatch of this workflow on this branch with slow and canary on is the CI proof; its run is linked in a comment.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Configuration

    • Added support for configuring access-token lifetimes, with a 15-minute default and a shorter two-minute setting for end-to-end smoke runs.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Session-expiry testing now measures the token lifetime dynamically instead of relying on a fixed duration.
  • Validation

    • Added checks to ensure configured token lifetimes are whole numbers between 1 and 60 minutes.
  • Documentation

    • Documented token-lifetime defaults and environment-specific behavior.

… Production's 15

Jwt__AccessTokenMinutes passes through to the app service with the
Production default; verify-harness.sh rejects anything outside 1 to 60,
and the README records why CI shortens it while local resets and the k6
baseline keep 15.
…spec performs

The real-expiry spec hardcoded 15 minutes. It now decodes exp - nbf from
the token its own login returned and waits that long plus thirty
seconds, so it proves the same boundary on whatever lifetime booted the
stack.
The slow spec's wait drops from about sixteen minutes to under three;
a full dispatch run halves. Nothing else in the job changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The simulation stack now accepts a configurable access-token lifetime. CI uses two minutes, while other defaults remain 15 minutes. The harness validates values from 1 through 60. The session expiry test measures lifetime from JWT claims instead of assuming 15 minutes.

Changes

Simulation token lifetime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure simulation token lifetime
tools/simulation/docker-compose.sim.yml, .github/workflows/e2e-smoke.yml, tools/simulation/README.md
The compose app accepts Jwt__AccessTokenMinutes with a default of 15. The CI smoke workflow sets it to 2. The documentation records the configuration and supported range.
Validate configured lifetime
tools/simulation/verify-harness.sh
The harness rejects configured values that are not whole numbers from 1 through 60.
Measure token lifetime in expiry test
tools/simulation/ui/specs/session-refresh.spec.ts
The test reads numeric exp and nbf claims from the login JWT, validates the lifetime, and uses it for the real-expiry wait.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9906c

Supported simulation configurations of 20 minutes or more make the expiry test time out before it can validate refresh behavior. Adjust the timeout or narrow the documented configuration range before merging.

CI proof: full dispatch with slow and canary on, on this branch: https://github.com/mforce/cluckwork/actions/runs/35150252610. Started 21:04Z; the two runs on main before this change took about 30 minutes end to end.

@mforce I found one issue.

  • tools/simulation/ui/specs/session-refresh.spec.ts, Line 173: The fixed 20-minute timeout conflicts with the accepted Jwt__AccessTokenMinutes range of 1 to 60. For a permitted 20-minute token, the test waits at least 20 minutes and 30 seconds before it makes the refresh-triggering request. Playwright ends the test first. Higher permitted values also fail. Set the timeout for the maximum supported lifetime plus the post-expiry and navigation allowance, or reduce the accepted range to values that fit the timeout.

The CI dispatch was still running during this review.

Proof landed. The full dispatch (slow + canary) on this branch, https://github.com/mforce/cluckwork/actions/runs/35150252610: success in 7.8 minutes wall time (started 21:03:56Z, ended 21:11:42Z). The real-boundary test took 2.6 min; the smoke suite 55 passed in 4.5 min; the canary 4 passed.

The same dispatch on main without this change, https://github.com/mforce/cluckwork/actions/runs/35148823044, also succeeded (so #890's fix holds) and took 22.6 minutes (20:49:06Z to 21:11:40Z). The saving is about 15 minutes per full run.

CodeRabbit on #891: a fixed 20-minute timeout covered lifetimes up to
about 19 minutes while verify-harness.sh admits 60. The timeout is now
the measured lifetime plus five minutes, set once the login has
answered.
