Research direction

Start with plugins/display-redaction/hooks/mask.test.ts:256 and read the timing test plus the referenced issue #7221. Reproduce the test and inspect how it measures runtime on the CI runner. It is done when the linear-time check avoids flaky failures from shared-runner timing while still detecting non-linear behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

needs-triage priority: medium

plugins/display-redaction/hooks/mask.test.ts:256 ("runs each of the worst accepted extra patterns in time linear in the text length") failed in merge-queue run 38185144497 (check-plugins). It took 5438 ms against the test runner's 5000 ms default timeout. The queue then removed #7172, which does not touch display-redaction (failed_checks, 2026-10-11T23:43:48Z).

The test measures wall time on a shared hosted runner, so a slow runner fails it even when the patterns are linear. Possible fixes: compare against a measured baseline in the same run rather than a fixed budget, give the test an explicit, larger timeout, or measure step counts instead of time.
