`go test -race ./...` on `cmd/ingestor` reports **six data races** on master. None is in production logic. All six come from test helpers that outlive the test that started them, which is why the detector blames whichever test happens to be running: two different tests failed on two consecutive runs of the same code. ## What was racing **`StartStatsFileWriter` had no way to stop.** Two tests start it at a 50ms interval, and its goroutine then runs for the rest of the process. It reads the package-level `readProcSelfIOFn` hook, which a later test replaces to inject a fake, so the write and the read race. The same leak explains the stray log lines about writing stats into temp directories that were already cleaned up. It now returns a stop function that closes the goroutine and waits for it to exit. Production ignores the return value and runs for the process lifetime exactly as before; the two tests call it through `t.Cleanup`. **The migration test read a log buffer while a goroutine wrote to it.** `log.Logger` serialises its own writes, but `logContains` read `buf.String()` outside that lock while `RunAsyncMigration` kept logging after the call that started it had returned. The capture helper now uses a mutex-protected buffer. That one is worth calling a real race rather than a test artefact: a concurrent read during a buffer grow can panic outright with "concurrent map read and map write"-class behaviour, not merely trip `-race`. ## Measured `go test -race ./...` on linux/arm64 under go1.27.1: **exit 0, zero races, 704s**. ## The CI job, and why it is shaped this way The server has had `-race` since #1208. This closes the same gap for the ingestor, which carries an `atomic.Pointer` snapshot (the region key set from #1989) whose safety has been an argument rather than a measurement. Two deliberate choices, because a check that costs too much gets switched off: - **Its own job, not a step inside "Go Build & Test".** Appending `-race` there puts its ten-odd minutes on the critical path, taking the pipeline from roughly 20 minutes to roughly 32. As a separate job it runs beside the E2E job (15-17 minutes) and hides inside that window. - **Only when `cmd/ingestor/**.go` changed**, decided by the existing change-scope job, which already gates the heavy jobs on documentation-only PRs. A frontend or docs PR cannot introduce a data race in the ingestor. Pushes to master always run it, as they already do for `code`. Nothing `needs:` the new job. Adding it to `build-and-publish` would mean a skipped race job skips everything downstream, which is the opposite of what a conditional check should do. It reports as its own check; whether that blocks a merge is a repository setting rather than workflow logic. ## Scope Test helpers, one production signature (`StartStatsFileWriter` now returns a stop function), and the workflow. No change to what the ingestor does at runtime.
