chore: make test starts one jest worker per CPU core #426

package.json runs the suite as jest --forceExit, so every make test (and so every make check, every pre-commit hook and every script/cibuild build) starts one jest worker per CPU core. On the shared 48-core build host that is about 47 worker processes and 7-8 GiB per run (the verbose rerun in script/test included), and two concurrent runs have pushed the host past its memory limit.

Implementation requirements

  • Run jest in one process in the test and test:verbose scripts in package.json (--runInBand, or --maxWorkers=1), a one-line change.
  • Measure make test before and after on the host. If one process takes it past the 30-second cap in script/test, use --maxWorkers=2 instead and say so in the PR body; do not raise the cap.

Definition of done

  • make test runs jest in at most two processes.
  • make test stays under its 30-second cap on the host.
  • TODO.md updated in the same commit.
  • make check passes.

`package.json` runs the suite as `jest --forceExit`, so every `make test` (and so every `make check`, every pre-commit hook and every `script/cibuild` build) starts one jest worker per CPU core. On the shared 48-core build host that is about 47 worker processes and 7-8 GiB per run (the verbose rerun in `script/test` included), and two concurrent runs have pushed the host past its memory limit. ## Implementation requirements - Run jest in one process in the `test` and `test:verbose` scripts in `package.json` (`--runInBand`, or `--maxWorkers=1`), a one-line change. - Measure `make test` before and after on the host. If one process takes it past the 30-second cap in `script/test`, use `--maxWorkers=2` instead and say so in the PR body; do not raise the cap. ## Definition of done - [ ] `make test` runs jest in at most two processes. - [ ] `make test` stays under its 30-second cap on the host. - [ ] `TODO.md` updated in the same commit. - [ ] `make check` passes.

Done in #427: make test now runs jest with --maxWorkers=3. One process and two workers both went past the 30-second cap on the build host, so it is three; the cap is unchanged, and three workers finish only a few seconds inside it there.
