Quick Start for Developers
Before Your Next Push
# 1. Test locally
./scripts/test-config-matrix.sh
# 2. If you see green checkmarks, you're good
# 3. Commit and push
git commit -m "feature: your change"
git push
Testing Specific Configuration
./scripts/test-config-matrix.sh --config minimal
./scripts/test-config-matrix.sh --config full-ai --verbose
Validate Flag Combination
./scripts/validate-cmake-config.sh \
-DYAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=ON \
-DYAZE_ENABLE_REMOTE_AUTOMATION=OFF # This will warn!
Testing Coverage
Tier 1 (Every Commit - Standard CI)
✓ ci-linux (gRPC + Agent CLI)
✓ ci-macos (gRPC + Agent UI + Agent CLI)
✓ ci-windows (gRPC core features)
Tier 2 (Nightly - Feature Combinations)
Linux (6 configurations):
✓ minimal - No AI, no gRPC (core functionality)
✓ grpc-only - gRPC without automation
✓ full-ai - All features enabled
✓ cli-no-grpc - CLI only, no networking
✓ http-api - REST endpoints
✓ no-json - Ollama mode (no JSON parsing)
macOS (4 configurations):
✓ minimal - GUI, no AI
✓ full-ai - All features
✓ agent-ui - Agent UI panels
✓ universal - ARM64 + x86_64 binary
Windows (4 configurations):
✓ minimal - No AI
✓ full-ai - All features
✓ grpc-remote - gRPC + remote automation
✓ z3ed-cli - CLI executable
Total: 14 nightly configurations across 3 platforms
Tier 3 (As Needed - Architecture-Specific)
• Windows ARM64 - Debug + Release
• macOS Universal - arm64 + x86_64
• Linux ARM - Cross-compile tests
Configuration Problems Fixed
1. GRPC Without Automation
- Symptom: gRPC headers included but server never compiled
- Status: FIXED - CMake auto-enforces constraint
- Test:
grpc-onlyconfig validates this
2. HTTP API Without CLI Stack
- Symptom: REST endpoints defined but no dispatcher
- Status: FIXED - CMake auto-enforces constraint
- Test:
http-apiconfig validates this
3. Agent UI Without GUI
- Symptom: ImGui panels in headless build
- Status: FIXED - CMake auto-enforces constraint
- Test: Local script tests this
4. AI Runtime Without JSON
- Symptom: Gemini service can't parse responses
- Status: DOCUMENTED - matrix tests edge case
- Test:
no-jsonconfig validates degradation
5. Windows GRPC ABI Mismatch
- Symptom: Symbol errors with old gRPC on MSVC
- Status: FIXED - preset pins stable version
- Test:
ci-windowsvalidates version
6. macOS ARM64 Dependency Issues
- Symptom: Silent failures on ARM64 architecture
- Status: DOCUMENTED -
mac-unitests both - Test:
universalconfig validates both architectures

Integration Checklist
CMake Integration
- No changes needed to existing presets
- Constraint enforcement already exists in
cmake/options.cmake - All configurations inherit from standard base presets
- Backward compatible with existing workflows
CI/CD Integration
- New workflow created:
.github/workflows/matrix-test.yml - Existing workflows unaffected
- Matrix tests complement (don't replace) standard CI
- Results aggregation and reporting
- Failure logging and debugging support
Developer Integration
- Local test script ready to use
- Platform auto-detection implemented
- Easy integration into pre-push workflow
- Clear documentation and examples
- Help text and usage instructions
Next Steps for Users
Immediate (Today)
-
Read the quick start:
cat docs/internal/testing/QUICKSTART.md -
Run local matrix tester:
./scripts/test-config-matrix.sh -
Add to your workflow (optional):
# Before pushing: ./scripts/test-config-matrix.sh
Near Term (This Week)
-
Use validate-config before experimenting:
./scripts/validate-cmake-config.sh -DYAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=ON ... -
Monitor nightly matrix tests:
- GitHub Actions > Configuration Matrix Testing
- Check for any failing configurations
Medium Term (This Month)
-
Add matrix test to pre-commit hook (optional):
# In .git/hooks/pre-commit ./scripts/test-config-matrix.sh --smoke || exit 1 -
Review and update documentation as needed:
- Add new configurations to
/docs/internal/configuration-matrix.md - Update matrix test script when flags change
- Add new configurations to
Long Term
- Monitor for new problematic patterns
- Consider Tier 3 testing when needed
- Evaluate performance improvements per configuration
- Plan future enhancements (see MATRIX_TESTING_IMPLEMENTATION.md)
Maintenance Responsibilities
Weekly
- Check nightly matrix test results
- Alert if any configuration fails
- Review failure patterns
Monthly
- Audit matrix configuration
- Check if new flags need testing
- Review binary size impact

When Adding New CMake Flags
- Update
cmake/options.cmake(define + constraints) - Update
/docs/internal/configuration-matrix.md(document + dependencies) - Add test config to
/scripts/test-config-matrix.sh - Add matrix job to
/.github/workflows/matrix-test.yml - Update validation rules in
/scripts/validate-cmake-config.sh
