E2E replay tests (AZ-404)

End-to-end regression suite that runs the gps-denied-replay console-script (AZ-402) against the Derkachi 60 s clip and asserts the AZ-265 epic acceptance criteria.

How to run

# In a fresh venv with the package installed:
RUN_REPLAY_E2E=1 pytest tests/e2e/replay/ -v

Without RUN_REPLAY_E2E=1 the heavy tests skip cleanly. The two unconditional tests (AC-4a mode-agnosticism scan + AC-7 skip-gate self-check + the helpers in test_helpers.py) still run.

Fixture state

Artifact	Status	Source
flight_derkachi.mp4	available	_docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/
data_imu.csv	available	same dir; 4900 rows at 10 Hz over 489.9 s
Synthetic tlog	generated at fixture time	_tlog_synth.py reproduces a pymavlink .tlog from the CSV (the original tlog is not in-repo; the CSV was its export)
Camera calibration	placeholder (tests/fixtures/calibration/adti26.json)	The real Topotek KHP20S30 intrinsics are unknown per camera_info.md. AC-3 is xfailed until a real calibration ships.
Operator pre-flight rehearsal	blocked	tests/fixtures/mock-suite-sat-service/ is a bootstrap stub (only GET /healthz); AC-8 skips until the full D-PROJ-2 contract lands.

Clip range

The first 60 s of the Derkachi flight (Time=0.0 → Time=60.0). The take-off region exercises the AZ-405 IMU-take-off auto-sync detector; the cruise region that follows stresses the satellite-anchor + VIO drift-correction path. To change the trim, edit _CLIP_START_S and _CLIP_END_S in conftest.py.

Expected runtime (Tier-1)

Test	Expected wall clock
AC-1 (--pace asap)	≤ 30 s
AC-2 schema match	piggybacks on AC-1
AC-5 determinism	2 × asap runs (≤ 60 s total)
AC-6 realtime	60 s ± 3 s
AC-6 asap	≤ 30 s
Total suite	≤ 6 min on Jetson AGX Orin

The AC-1 / AC-2 / AC-5 tests share --pace asap runs but each fixture invocation produces a fresh output file, so they do not short-circuit each other (preserves AC-5's two-runs-diff guarantee).

AC matrix

AC	Test	State
AC-1: exit 0 + JSONL count match	test_ac1_exits_0_jsonl_count_match	runs on Tier-1
AC-2: JSONL schema match	test_ac2_jsonl_schema_match	runs on Tier-1
AC-3: ≤ 100 m for 80 % of ticks	test_ac3_within_100m_80pct_of_ticks	xfail (waiting on real calibration)
AC-4a: mode-agnosticism AST scan	test_ac4_mode_agnosticism_ast_scan	unconditional
AC-4b: encoder byte-equality	test_ac4_encoder_byte_equality	skip (waiting on AZ-558)
AC-5: determinism	test_ac5_determinism_two_runs_diff	runs on Tier-1
AC-6a: realtime 60 s ± 5 %	test_ac6_pace_realtime_60s_within_5pct	runs on Tier-1
AC-6b: asap ≤ 30 s	test_ac6_pace_asap_under_30s	runs on Tier-1
AC-7: skip-gate self-check	test_ac7_skip_gate_consistent_with_env_var	unconditional
AC-8: operator workflow rehearsal	test_ac8_operator_workflow	skip (waiting on D-PROJ-2 mock)
AC-9: helper L2 correctness	test_helpers.py::test_ac9_l2_*	unconditional
AC-10: README accuracy	this file	live

Failure-mode cookbook

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
gps-denied-replay console-script not on PATH	package not installed in the test venv	pip install -e .
AC-1 line count off by > 5 %	tlog synthesizer drifted from the CSV	regenerate by re-running the test (synthesizer is deterministic; non-determinism would be a real bug)
AC-3 fails at ~ 0 % even with calibration	wrong intrinsics OR wrong WGS84 ground truth source — verify the GLOBAL_POSITION_INT columns are still the AC-3 reference (per flight_derkachi/README.md)	re-derive ground truth
AC-5 determinism violated	non-deterministic float ordering in C5 estimator OR a clock leaked into the runtime	bisect via git log against the C5 / clock modules
AC-6 realtime drifts on shared CI	shared-runner contention; the spec allows widening to ± 5 s	adjust _HEAVY_SKIP boundary if it persists
tlog missing required messages	_tlog_synth.py lost a message group	check _REQUIRED_MESSAGE_GROUPS in tlog_replay_adapter.py against the synth output

Follow-up work

• Real Topotek KHP20S30 calibration — unblocks AC-3.
• AZ-558 — closes AC-4b (route C8 encoders through MavlinkTransport).
• D-PROJ-2 mock-suite-sat-service — unblocks AC-8 (operator workflow rehearsal).
