test(docs): exercise onboarding server flows in CI

[ting-hong-shieh]

Closes #401.

Summary

• extract the complete TOML configuration and completion request directly from the Getting Started guide
• run --dry-run, start the standalone server on an OS-assigned port, and exercise /health, /v1/models, and the documented completion request
• serve classifier and routed responses from a loopback-only OpenAI stub with a fixed test credential, without provider access or secrets
• build switchyard-server before the README and Getting Started pytest jobs

Testing

• cargo build --locked -p switchyard-server
• pytest -s tests/getting_started tests/readme -q (4 passed; run with the isolated cached pytest executable)
• ruff check tests/onboarding_smoke.py tests/getting_started tests/readme
• ruff format --check tests/onboarding_smoke.py tests/getting_started tests/readme
• parsed .github/workflows/readme.yml and .github/workflows/getting-started.yml with PyYAML BaseLoader
• git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved validation of the documented standalone server setup and request flow.
  • Added checks for server health, model access, completion requests, classification, and upstream routing.

• Tests

  • Added hermetic onboarding and README smoke tests using local test services.
  • Getting Started and README workflows now build the server before running documentation checks.
  • Documentation tests now run automatically when onboarding smoke coverage changes.

Before / after executable-coverage trace

I ran the README and Getting Started tests at the PR base (b256d936) and current head (21b471e3).

Before (b256d936):

2 passed
coverage: substring/drift assertions only
switchyard-server --dry-run: not executed
server process: not started
/health, /v1/models, completion request: not exercised

After (21b471e3):

4 passed
documented TOML extracted from docs/getting_started.md
switchyard-server --dry-run: exit 0, "server OK: switchyard"
server: started on 127.0.0.1 with --port 0 (OS-assigned port)
GET /health: 200, status "ok"
GET /v1/models: 200, model_pool includes "switchyard"
POST /v1/chat/completions: 200, content "hello from the local upstream"
upstream trace: structured classifier call, then routed call carrying the documented messages

The after run uses a loopback-only OpenAI stub and a fixed test credential. It does not read repository secrets or contact a live provider.

Walkthrough

Changes

Onboarding server-flow coverage

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Documented server-flow smoke test tests/onboarding_smoke.py	The new smoke test extracts documented examples, uses a local upstream stub, validates dry-run startup, starts switchyard-server, checks health and model endpoints, submits a completion request, verifies routed calls, and cleans up the subprocess.
README and Getting Started test integration tests/getting_started/*, tests/readme/*	The README and Getting Started tests invoke the shared executable server-flow check and retain documentation path checks.
Workflow build and trigger wiring .github/workflows/getting-started.yml, .github/workflows/readme.yml	Both workflows trigger on smoke-test changes and build the locked standalone server before running the tests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21b47

This change improves onboarding validation, but the current test implementation can hang CI during server startup and does not follow the repository's required async execution pattern. Merge should wait for those test-execution issues to be fixed.

Poem

I’m a rabbit who checks every gate,
With local stubs, the flow runs straight.
TOML, health, and models align,
Completion hops through the test design.
CI now watches each path with care.

In `@tests/onboarding_smoke.py`:
- Around line 173-255: Convert exercise_documented_server_flow in
tests/onboarding_smoke.py (lines 173-255) to an async helper, moving unavoidable
subprocess and blocking I/O behind an explicit async boundary. Update the new
test in tests/getting_started/test_getting_started.py (lines 30-35) to be async
and await the helper, and do the same for tests/readme/test_readme.py (lines
28-36); preserve the existing assertions and cleanup behavior.

Apply the same fix in `@tests/onboarding_smoke.py` around lines 105 - 113.
- Around line 156-170: Update _read_listen_url to use deadline-aware,
non-blocking stdout reads so startup-port discovery cannot hang when the server
emits no newline. Enforce a timeout, capture available stdout and stderr, and
raise AssertionError with both outputs when the deadline expires, while
preserving the existing successful URL detection and process-exit handling.
