Final summary:
• I did not make any code or file changes.
• I only answered your questions about snapshot-related CI failures and how to improve first-pass snapshot success on PRs.
What I explained:
• Snapshot fixes are time-consuming because the hard part is usually validating whether the snapshot should change, not regenerating it.
• They are often slow due to:
◦ environment differences between local and CI,
◦ large/noisy diffs,
◦ nondeterministic inputs,
◦ multiple rerun cycles,
◦ and the risk of masking a real regression by blindly updating snapshots.
What I recommended for getting future snapshot PRs to pass the first time:
• Run the exact CI snapshot command locally before pushing.
• Match the same environment as CI as closely as possible.
• Make tests deterministic by fixing:
◦ timezone,
◦ locale,
◦ random seeds,
◦ generated IDs,
◦ sort order,
◦ test data.
• Eliminate visual instability by:
◦ disabling animations,
◦ waiting for fonts/data/network to settle,
◦ using fixed viewports.
• Keep snapshots small and targeted.
• Only update snapshots after confirming the change is intentional.
Status:
• Your request was completely addressed.
• No repository changes were made.
• No extraneous changes exist to revert.
