Part of #760. First, foundational PR: set up StrykerJS and establish a baseline on util/. Writing tests for surviving mutants and raising the threshold will follow as separate focused PRs.

What this adds

  • @stryker-mutator/core + mocha-runner + typescript-checker
  • stryker.config.json — mocha runner, perTest coverage, non-blocking (break: null), scoped to util/**
  • npm scripts: mutation-test, mutation-test:util, build:test
  • A non-blocking CI workflow (weekly + workflow_dispatch) on node:20-bookworm that uploads the HTML report as an artifact
  • gitignores Stryker outputs

Baseline on util/

File Mutation score (covered) Notes
util/index.ts 57.69% the only util file with tests (90 killed / 66 survived)
rest of util/ 0% no tests yet

This is exactly the signal mutation testing gives: it shows where a bug could be introduced and slip past the suite.

One integration note

Stryker builds in a clean sandbox, which surfaced that tsconfig.test.json (include tests/**/*) does not compile dynamically require()d files such as bot/modules/block/commands.ts — it only works normally because CI runs a full tsc first. Rather than touch that code, I use a build:test script (full tsc + test tsc) as Stryker's build command so the sandbox build is complete.

Validation

  • Normal test suite green (144 passing — no source touched)
  • tsc, lint, prettier clean
  • Mutation run completes locally in ~30s on util/

Summary by CodeRabbit

Walkthrough

Adds Stryker mutation-testing setup for the util/ scope. The change includes npm scripts, Stryker configuration, ignored outputs, and a GitHub Actions workflow that runs weekly or manually and uploads the mutation report.

Changes

Mutation testing setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and scripts
package.json, stryker.config.json, .gitignore
Adds mutation-testing scripts and Stryker dependencies. Configures TypeScript mutation checking for util/**/*.ts. Ignores generated outputs and command logs.
Mutation-testing workflow
.github/workflows/mutation-testing.yaml
Defines a scheduled and manual workflow. The job runs the util mutation test in a Node 20 container and uploads reports/mutation/ as mutation-report.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 153fb

The new mutation-testing workflow may complete without uploading its HTML report because the configured report location and artifact path may differ. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to align those paths.

Poem

A rabbit checks the util trail,
Stryker tests each leafy detail.
The workflow starts on Monday night,
Then stores its report in flight.
Tiny mutants hide from sight.

- Around line 26-40: The workflow still uses mutable GitHub Action tags in the
mutation-testing job, so update the actions referenced by actions/checkout and
actions/upload-artifact to their full 40-character commit SHAs and keep the
original version as an inline comment for readability. Make this change in the
mutation-testing workflow alongside the existing run steps, preserving the same
behavior while removing tag-based supply-chain risk.

In `@stryker.config.json`:
- Around line 1-19: Stryker is not invoking the installed TypeScript checker
because the configuration lacks the explicit checker activation. Update the
Stryker config to enable the TypeScript checker via the checkers setting in the
existing JSON alongside the current testRunner, mutate, and thresholds options.
Keep the rest of the StrykerJS configuration unchanged so mutation testing still
runs with type checking enabled.

Thanks @Matobi98! Both CodeRabbit points are addressed in 6e3a996:

  1. SHA-pinned actions/checkout and actions/upload-artifact to full 40-char commit SHAs, with the version tag kept as an inline comment.
  2. Enabled the TypeScript checker (checkers + tsconfigFile) — the @stryker-mutator/typescript-checker plugin was already a devDependency. Verified locally: Stryker runs clean with the checker active (util/index.ts: initial run passed, mutation completed end-to-end).

Done in 568d95f — added persist-credentials: false to the checkout step. This job only reads the repo (no push), so there's no need to retain the token in git config. Thanks @coderabbitai.

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@ToRyVand Thanks for addressing this. Disabling persisted checkout credentials is appropriate for this read-only workflow. 🐇

Hey @ToRyVand, there's a conflict on package-lock.json after some dependency bumps landed on main. Could you solve the conflics against main before we merge?

Done @Matobi98 🙏 Rebased on latest main (3ea7ef5) — the only conflict was package-lock.json from the dependency bumps; regenerated it against main while keeping the Stryker devDependencies intact. npm ci clean, tsc + 214 tests green, lint OK. Mergeable again — good to go whenever.

Sets up mutation testing to measure how effectively the test suite catches
bugs, scoped to util/ as the initial baseline (issue lnp2pBot#760).

- Add @stryker-mutator core + mocha-runner + typescript-checker
- stryker.config.json: mocha runner, perTest coverage, non-blocking
  (break: null), mutate util/**
- npm scripts: mutation-test, mutation-test:util, build:test
- Non-blocking CI workflow (weekly + manual) on node:20-bookworm that
  uploads the HTML report as an artifact
- gitignore Stryker outputs

The build:test script (full tsc + test tsc) is used as Stryker's build
command so the sandbox build is complete: tsconfig.test.json alone does
not compile dynamically required files (e.g. bot/modules/block/commands.ts),
which only works in CI because it runs a full tsc beforehand.

Baseline on util/: 57.69% mutation score on covered code in util/index.ts
(the only tested util file); the rest of util/ has no tests yet.

Part of lnp2pBot#760
- Pin GitHub Actions to full commit SHAs (actions/checkout, upload-artifact)
  with the version tag kept as an inline comment, removing tag-based
  supply-chain risk.
- Enable the StrykerJS TypeScript checker (checkers + tsconfigFile) so
  type-invalid mutants are rejected before running tests. The
  @stryker-mutator/typescript-checker plugin was already a devDependency.
The mutation-testing job only reads the repo (no push), so the checkout
should not retain the GitHub token in git config. Addresses CodeRabbit.

Rebased on latest main (153fb4e) after the Node 22 / Lightning 12.2.4 / dotenv 17 bumps. Only package-lock.json conflicted; regenerated it against main with the Stryker devDependencies intact (9.6.1). npm ci clean, tsc + 233 tests green, lint/format OK. Mergeable again.

StrykerJS v9.6.1 configuration htmlReporter fileName default reports/mutation.html CLI --mutate replaces configuration

💡 Result:

In StrykerJS, configuration loaded from a config file (such as stryker.conf.json) and arguments provided via the CLI are merged, with CLI arguments taking precedence over values defined in the configuration file [1][2][3]. Regarding your specific configuration questions: 1. htmlReporter fileName default: The default configuration for the html reporter is { fileName: "reports/mutation.html" } [4][5]. You can customize this path in your configuration file by specifying a different fileName under the htmlReporter object [4][6]. 2. CLI --mutate replaces configuration: Yes, providing the --mutate argument via the CLI will replace the mutate setting defined in your configuration file [7][2]. StrykerJS does not merge these values; instead, the CLI argument overrides the configuration file entirely for that specific setting [1][2]. This behavior is consistent with how StrykerJS handles CLI overrides for other configuration properties [2][3].

Align the Stryker report path with the artifact path.

StrykerJS writes the HTML report to reports/mutation.html by default. The workflow uploads only reports/mutation/ and ignores missing files, so it can complete without uploading the report.

Set htmlReporter.fileName below reports/mutation/, or include reports/mutation.html in the artifact path.
