Research direction

Start with the test-platform skill referenced in the issue and find its guidance for Android and Windows network events, the helper’s -Stage parameter, and diagnosing template test processes that exceed the CI runner’s limits. Document the three observed failure modes and the workarounds described in the issue. Done means the skill explains why each failure occurs and how to recognize or investigate it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The test-platform skill misses three things a run on bit11 cost time on:

  • In the Android and Windows stages, a request the app makes through its own HttpClient never shows in the WebView's network events, so a test that waits for it times out although the request went through.
  • Several stages passed to the helper's -Stage through pwsh -File arrive as one string, which the parameter's validation refuses.
  • A template test process that outgrows the CI runner can't be pinned on one test by a gcdump, which stops at its object limit. Running the UI tests and the rest separately showed each half passing on its own.
