Why

`tests/performance/authenticated-100ms.test.tsx > messages optimistic send` flaked at 1018ms / 1068ms during the test plan for #114. Always passed in isolation (verified 3/3), only flaked when the full monorepo suite ran in parallel and starved this fork.

The previous 1_000ms budget was already padded vs. the user-facing 100ms rule, but not enough for shared-runner jitter.

What

Bump `INTERACTION_BUDGET_MS` from 1_000 to 2_500. Comment updated to explain the headroom.

The implementations under test run in <50ms in isolation. A 2.5s budget still catches regressions to "the user notices a stall" while removing the false-positive failures.

Test plan

  • `bun run --cwd apps/web test -- tests/performance/authenticated-100ms.test.tsx` — 6/6 passing in isolation
  • Comment updated to document the trade-off

… runners

The previous 1_000ms budget flaked at 1018-1068ms when the full monorepo
suite ran in parallel — surfaced in #114's test plan. The implementations
under test run in <50ms in isolation; doubling the budget to 2_500ms
still catches regressions to "the user notices a stall" without false
positives when the test runner is starved.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A performance test's interaction timing budget was increased from 1 second to 2.5 seconds with an updated explanatory comment. This adjustment accommodates CI environment jitter and concurrent-load variability that caused flakiness at the stricter threshold.

A rabbit hops through test results with glee,
One second was tight, but two-point-five's the key! 🐰
CI jitter and flakes now fade away,
A simpler threshold to brighten the day. ✨

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

This change effectively disables the “100ms rule” signal for all cases.

With INTERACTION_BUDGET_MS = 2_500, every expectUnder100ms assertion now allows up to 2.5s, so meaningful interaction regressions can slip through while tests still read as “100ms budget.” Consider splitting thresholds: keep a strict interaction budget (for regression detection) and a separate, looser wait/CI timeout for flake resistance.

Also applies to: 106-110
