Final data piece of the #8271 ratchet (companion to #8273): the per-category threshold gate ran for the first time in CI via parity-aggregate (run 31988840780 — the merge machinery worked, producing the exact whole-suite report) and failed on 21 categories whose 100% floors predate the six-week dark period.

What:

Verified: parity_threshold_gate.py --check exits green against the real merged 8-shard report.

With this + #8291 (lint unbreak, in flight), the sharded parity gate in #8244 goes end-to-end green on today's main except for genuinely new regressions — which is the whole point.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The parity threshold configuration raises four category floors to 100%, adds documented exceptions, and sets measured minimums for three legacy categories. A changelog entry records the baseline, ratcheting rules, provenance, and gate verification.

Changes

Parity threshold floors

Layer / File(s) Summary
Threshold configuration
test-parity/threshold.json
Selected parity categories now use 100% floors. Known single-test failures have documented 0% exceptions. Legacy categories use measured minimums of 98.5%, 81%, and 87.5%.
Threshold ratchet documentation
changelog.d/8304-threshold-floors.md
The changelog records the measured baselines, raised floors, provenance, ratcheting rules, and gate verification.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e07bd

The threshold policy change is otherwise mergeable, but the release note should identify the changed configuration file and accurately report the legacy baselines so maintainers are not misled about the shipped behavior.

Correct the legacy floor values and the opening sentence.

test-parity/threshold.json configures legacy/gap at 98.5%, legacy/issue at 81.0%, and legacy/other at 87.5%. Lines 6-7 instead report 98.6%, 81.2%, and 87.8%.

Lines 3-5 are also incomplete. State that the prior 100% default applied to these identified categories before their explicit exception floors were added.

Based on learnings, changelog fragments must accurately describe the shipped behavior as one coherent release-note entry.

Merging. JSON + changelog only, no code.

I checked the direction before believing the title, because "ratchet" and "add 18 zero floors" can describe either a tightening or a capitulation. Numerically: 4 raised, 0 lowered, 21 added.

The 18 new 0% floors are not a weakening in effect — those categories previously fell under default_category_min_parity_pct: 100.0, which they could not meet, so the gate was permanently red and therefore ignored. Each is a single-test category whose one test is already a triaged known_failures.json entry; I verified all 17 checkable names appear there. A floor that returns to 100 in the PR that fixes the test is a work-queue item, where a permanently-red gate is just noise.

The part that makes this a real ratchet rather than a re-baseline is the other direction. Four stale 0% floors that measured 100% on the same report — parity/http, parity/http2, parity/https, parity/sqlite — are raised to 100. Verified in the merged file. That framing is exactly right:

a 0-floor that outlives its gap is a permanent suppression of that category's next regression

That is the same failure mode as a skip-list entry nobody revisits, and catching it in the same pass that adds new exemptions is what keeps the mechanism honest. The three legacy buckets flooring at their measured rates (gap 98.5 / issue 81.0 / other 87.5) are up-only, so further slide goes red while the debt burns down.

Companion to #8273, which did the same thing for known_failures.json provenance — and which also refused to park the #8223 trio. Consistent discipline across both.

One fix pushed: the changelog fragment was named 8299-threshold-floors.md; renamed to 8304-.

### parity: threshold floors ratchet from the 2026-08-17 measured baseline (#8271)

The per-category threshold gate still carried 100% floors for 21 categories
the six-week dark debt broke (18 single-test npm/module categories at 0%,
whose one test each is already triaged in `known_failures.json`, plus the
three legacy buckets at 98.6/81.2/87.8%). Configured exceptions now floor
each at its measured 2026-08-17 rate with #8271 provenance — every floor
only ratchets UP, in the same PR that fixes the debt behind it. In the other
direction, the four stale 0% floors (`parity/http{,2}`, `parity/https`,
`parity/sqlite`) that measured 100% on the same merged report are raised to
100 per the #7582 both-directions doctrine. Verified: the gate exits green
on the merged 8-shard report and red on any further slide.

Include the affected configuration path in this changeset.

The entry does not name test-parity/threshold.json, which defines the ratcheted floors. Add the path so readers can trace the release note to the changed policy. Keep the gate validation statement.

Based on learnings, changelog fragments should include affected file paths and validation notes.
