Speeds up the tests job (~18 min).

• Shard unit tests over 3 runners (--shard I/N); a tests gate job keeps the required check.
• Persistent JAX compilation cache, kept between CI runs with actions/cache.
• Run the zea data CLI tests in-process instead of via os.system.

Local benchmark (full unit suite with coverage, shared machine so noisy):

Walkthrough

The workflow replaces one unit-test job with three shards and adds an aggregate status job. Pytest adds --shard selection, and test setup configures the JAX compilation cache. Codecov build thresholds change to four. File-operation CLI tests call the Zea entry point in process instead of using shell subprocesses.

Explanation

The description clearly summarizes the changes and their purpose, and includes benchmark results. It omits the required checklist and does not link a related issue; add these to match the repository template.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 3 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The cache restore path and the pytest environment agree, but ZEA_CACHE_DIR is bypassed.

JAX_COMPILATION_CACHE_DIR is set in the step env. setdefault in tests/__init__.py therefore keeps it. The restored path and the used path match, so the cache works.

One limit remains. Each shard saves a new cache entry on every run, because the key includes github.run_id. actions/cache entries count against the 10 GB repository quota. Three shards per run, and per-PR branch scoping, can evict useful entries quickly. Monitor the cache size, or save the cache only on main and restore it in PRs.

18-25: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Local runs now write to a shared persistent JAX cache by default.

Every local pytest run now writes to ~/.cache/zea/jax_test_compilation_cache. The cache has no size limit, and the zeroed thresholds store every tiny per-op compilation. The cache can grow without bound across JAX versions and backends. A stale or corrupt entry can also give hard-to-trace local failures. ZEA_DISABLE_CACHE is the only opt-out.

Consider making the cache opt-in outside CI, or document the cache path and the opt-out in the test docs.
