Summary

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for analyzing CI failures and strategies for splitting large PRs. Documentation only - zero code changes.

Extracted from PR #2069 which will not be merged.

What's Added

1. CI Failure Analysis Document ✅

File: .claude/docs/analysis/CI_FAILURES_2024-11-21.md

  • Complete analysis of PR Phase 5: Add Pro Node Renderer Package to workspace #2069's test failures (3 failing, 1 hung)
  • Root cause analysis with evidence from CI logs
  • Identified suspicious commits from 52-commit history
  • Fix recommendations (all marked as UNTESTED HYPOTHESIS)
  • Prevention strategies for future regressions
  • Critical disclaimer about testing limitations

2. Testing Requirements Documentation ✅

File: CLAUDE.md (enhanced)

New section: "CRITICAL - LOCAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS"

  • Must distinguish "This fixes..." (tested) vs "This SHOULD fix..." (untested)
  • Must explain why local testing isn't possible when applicable
  • Must provide exact test commands
  • Must document what was tested and results
  • Enhanced "Replicating CI Failures Locally" with clear guidelines

3. PR Splitting Strategy Guide ✅

File: .claude/docs/pr-splitting-strategy.md

Comprehensive guide covering:

  • When to split large PRs (indicators, decision criteria)
  • Strategy for identifying independent commits
  • Merge order: docs → bug fixes → infrastructure
  • Real example: How to split PR Phase 5: Add Pro Node Renderer Package to workspace #2069 into 4 focused PRs
  • Benefits, anti-patterns, decision tree
  • Templates for announcing PR splits

4. Analysis Index ✅

File: .claude/docs/analysis/INDEX.md

  • Added new documents to navigation
  • Updated quick reference links
  • Listed in related documentation

Why This Matters

For CI Failure Analysis

Future agents/developers will:

  • Clearly mark proposed fixes as UNTESTED when working in isolated environments
  • Explain specific testing limitations
  • Provide exact reproduction steps
  • Never claim fixes work without verification

For Code Reviews

Reviewers will:

  • Immediately know which fixes need testing
  • Understand testing constraints
  • See proper language for hypothetical fixes
  • Have clear expectations about verification

For Complex PRs

Teams can:

  • Reference documented splitting strategy
  • Make informed decisions about when to split
  • Follow proven patterns for focused PRs
  • Use templates for communication

Testing

✅ None required - documentation only
✅ Pre-commit hooks passed (prettier, trailing newlines)
✅ No code changes to test

Code Review - PR #2101

Overview

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for CI failure analysis and PR splitting strategies. Zero code changes - documentation only. The changes are well-structured and provide immediate value to the team.


✅ Strengths

1. Excellent Content Quality

  • CI Failure Analysis (CI_FAILURES_2024-11-21.md) is thorough and well-researched

    • Clear executive summary with actionable insights
    • Detailed root cause analysis with evidence from CI logs
    • Proper disclaimers about UNTESTED hypotheses (critical for isolated workspace analysis)
    • Provides concrete reproduction steps even when local testing isn't possible
  • PR Splitting Strategy (pr-splitting-strategy.md) is practical and actionable

  • Testing Requirements (CLAUDE.md updates) establish clear standards

    • Distinguishes "This fixes..." vs "This SHOULD fix..."
    • Requires explaining testing limitations
    • Emphasizes local testing before CI iteration

2. Proper Documentation Organization

  • Analysis documents correctly placed in .claude/docs/analysis/ per CLAUDE.md guidelines
  • INDEX.md provides excellent navigation and quick reference
  • Cross-references between related documents

3. Alignment with Project Standards

  • ✅ Follows existing CLAUDE.md conventions
  • ✅ Properly formatted markdown
  • ✅ Consistent with project's emphasis on testing and quality

📝 Minor Suggestions

1. Date Format in CI_FAILURES_2024-11-21.md

Line 3: Date shows 2024-11-21 but should be 2025-11-21 based on current year.

-**Date**: 2024-11-21
+**Date**: 2025-11-21

This appears in multiple places in the file.

2. Analysis Index Timestamp

.claude/docs/analysis/INDEX.md (line 273):

-These documents were generated on: 2025-11-19
+These documents were generated on: 2025-11-22

And line 275:

-Last Updated: 2025-11-21
+Last Updated: 2025-11-22

Should reflect actual creation date.

3. Consider Adding Link to PR Splitting Guide in CLAUDE.md

The new "CRITICAL - LOCAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS" section in CLAUDE.md could reference the PR splitting strategy document:

**See also**: `.claude/docs/pr-splitting-strategy.md` for guidance on handling complex PRs with multiple CI failures.

This would help developers discover the strategy guide when they're dealing with CI failures.

Learning: In React on Rails, when Pro is installed but not licensed, the intended behavior is to raise an error on boot. The `react_on_rails_pro?` method validates licenses and should raise errors early (including during path resolution in methods like `server_bundle?`) to enforce licensing requirements rather than failing later with obscure errors.

Learning: RSC support validation in React on Rails Pro is handled through a chain of validations:
1. Pro version check in `run_stream_inside_fiber`
2. RSC support check during pack generation via `ReactOnRailsPro.configuration.enable_rsc_support`
3. RSC support validation during component registration
This makes additional validation in the helper methods unnecessary.

🔇 Additional comments (12)
.claude/docs/pr-splitting-strategy.md (1)

1-472: Excellent comprehensive guide on PR splitting strategy.

The document is well-organized with clear sections on indicators, strategy, real-world examples, benefits, anti-patterns, and decision trees. The use of PR #2069 as a running example makes the guidance concrete and actionable. The disclaimers about testing requirements and the emphasis on incremental progress align well with the broader PR's testing guidance updates.

.claude/docs/analysis/CI_FAILURES_2024-11-21.md (2)

10-31: Excellent use of critical disclaimer for untested analysis.

The "CRITICAL DISCLAIMER" section clearly sets expectations that all fixes are hypotheses requiring local verification. This aligns perfectly with the new testing requirements added to CLAUDE.md and establishes the right tone for developers reading this analysis.


48-523: Comprehensive CI failure analysis with clear root cause investigation.

The document provides thorough analysis of three failing test suites and one hung test, with:

  • Clear evidence from CI logs and source code
  • Identification of suspicious commits (with priority levels)
  • Practical debugging strategies
  • Realistic estimated fix time (4-8 hours)
  • Prevention strategies for the future

The approach of comparing against the base commit and providing bisect guidance is excellent. The distinction between what still works and what's broken provides useful context for developers.

CLAUDE.md (7)

5-19: New Project Structure Guidelines section provides clear documentation standards.

The guidelines for placing analysis documents in /analysis directory and using consistent naming conventions is helpful for keeping the .claude/ directory organized. This provides good context for developers about where documentation should be placed.


32-57: CRITICAL LOCAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS section is excellent addition.

This new section directly addresses the testing discipline needed for this monorepo:

  • Clear distinction between tested ("This fixes...") vs. untested ("This SHOULD fix...") changes
  • Acknowledges environment limitations (isolated workspace, missing services)
  • Emphasizes local verification over CI iteration
  • Aligns perfectly with the CI failure analysis and PR splitting guidance in other docs

This guidance will improve the quality of future PR analysis and debugging efforts.


408-495: New Debugging Webpack Configuration Issues section is comprehensive and practical.

The section provides:

  • Concrete debug scripts to inspect webpack configuration
  • Step-by-step debugging approach with actual Node.js examples
  • Common issues (CSS Modules, rule matching) with solutions
  • Proper cleanup instructions

This is exactly the kind of troubleshooting guide developers need when dealing with webpack/Shakapacker issues. The examples are well-documented and runnable.


504-645: Comprehensive Playwright E2E Testing section with excellent practical examples.

The new section covers:

  • Setup instructions with browser installation
  • Running tests with multiple modes (UI, headed, debug, report)
  • Writing tests with Rails integration helpers (app, appEval, appFactories)
  • Test organization and directory structure
  • Best practices and debugging tips
  • CI integration details

The examples of using cypress-on-rails helpers for database control and factory creation are especially valuable. The emphasis on leveraging Rails helpers instead of UI setup is a best practice.


315-333: Enhanced Merge Conflict Resolution Workflow with path verification.

The updated workflow adds important steps for verifying file paths after directory structure changes, including:

  • Testing affected scripts (package-scripts.yml, webpack configs)
  • Explicit verification of path references with grep
  • Running critical test suites after build config changes

This directly addresses the kind of silent failures that caused the 7-week yalc publish issue referenced in the learnings. The emphasis on "don't blindly accept path changes" is critical.


88-88: Build command references updated correctly to new monorepo structure.

References now correctly point to packages/react-on-rails/lib for TypeScript compilation output, reflecting the monorepo structure. This aligns with the path updates throughout the file replacing "node_package" with "packages/react-on-rails".


727-730: Verify IDE exclusion of /packages/react-on-rails/lib is appropriate.

This directory contains autogenerated TypeScript compilation output and should indeed be excluded. However, consider whether other autogenerated locations should also be excluded (e.g., /packages/react-on-rails-pro/lib, /packages/react-on-rails-pro-node-renderer/lib). Based on the learnings, all three packages will have autogenerated lib directories.

.claude/docs/analysis/INDEX.md (2)

1-275: Excellent navigation index for analysis documents with clear workflow guidance.

The index provides:

  • Clear document summaries with status indicators (✅ COMPLETE, ❌ NEEDS UPDATES, etc.)
  • "I Need To..." quick navigation linking use cases to specific sections
  • Key facts at a glance with critical context (7-week yalc silent failure)
  • Workflow tips for different stages (before starting, during development, before merging)
  • Phase status tracking with clear identification of current blockers

The strategic placement of CI_FAILURES_2024-11-21.md at the top as "CURRENT BLOCKER" with 🔴 emoji effectively communicates urgency. The reference to PR #2069 failing helps developers quickly understand the context.


7-100: Use markdown headings instead of emphasis for document section headers.

Lines 9, 28, 49, 67, 80, and 88 use bold text for section headers but should be markdown headings for proper document structure. This improves navigation and indexing.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Add language specifications to code blocks.

Three code blocks lack language identifiers. Add specs for consistency and syntax highlighting:

  • Line 58: Error output → text or plaintext
  • Line 84: Test examples → ruby or gherkin
  • Line 228: File list → text

Also applies to: 84-96, 228-234

In .claude/docs/analysis/CI_FAILURES_2024-11-21.md around lines 58–62, 84–96 and
228–234, three fenced code blocks are missing language identifiers; update the
opening triple-backtick fences to include language specs — change the error
output block at line ~58 to ```text or ```plaintext, change the test examples
block at ~84–96 to ```ruby or ```gherkin, and change the file list block at
~228–234 to ```text — this will ensure consistent syntax highlighting and avoid
linters/preview errors.

In .claude/docs/pr-splitting-strategy.md around lines 62 to 82 (and also the
decision tree at line ~347), the fenced code blocks are missing language
identifiers; update the opening fences to include appropriate languages (e.g.,
replace ``` with ```bash for the bash/list block at lines 62-82 and with ```text
for the decision-tree block at line 347) so renderers apply proper syntax
highlighting; ensure you only modify the opening fence lines and leave the block
contents unchanged.

Minor corrections to documentation:

1. Fix date in CI_FAILURES analysis (2024 -> 2025)
2. Update INDEX.md timestamps to reflect actual creation date
3. Add cross-reference in CLAUDE.md testing requirements
   - Links to PR splitting strategy guide
   - Helps developers discover the guide when dealing with CI failures

All corrections improve accuracy and discoverability of documentation.
