Why: Flaky test failures (2 tests fail non-deterministically in parallel execution) caused by telemetry's fire-and-forget fetch() calls interfering with other test files' global.fetch mocks.

Changes

  1. preload.ts — Sets SPAWN_TELEMETRY=0 before tests run, preventing telemetry from firing during test execution.
  2. telemetry.ts — Adds a runtime guard in sendEvent() that re-checks the test environment, preventing stale singleton state from leaking fetch calls.

Evidence

  • On main: 2 flaky failures (hetzner-cov.test.ts, digitalocean-token.test.ts) that pass in isolation but fail in parallel runs
  • With this fix: 2246 tests pass, 0 fail

Supersedes #3376 (same fix, rebased cleanly onto latest main).

Closes #3393

…fetch mocks

The telemetry module's `_enabled` flag persists across parallel test files
when `telemetry.test.ts` calls `initTelemetry()` (which deletes BUN_ENV/NODE_ENV
guards). This causes `logWarn` → `captureWarning` → `sendEvent` → `fetch()` to
fire unexpected calls through other tests' `global.fetch` mocks, breaking
callCount-based assertions in `hetzner-cov.test.ts` and `digitalocean-token.test.ts`.

Fix:
- Add runtime env guard in `sendEvent()` so telemetry never fires in test env
- Set `SPAWN_TELEMETRY=0` in test preload as defense-in-depth

…-suite flakiness

The hetzner createServer resource-limit test and digitalocean OAuth
recovery test used callCount-based mocks that broke when module state
persisted across the full test suite. Switch to URL-based request
matching so tests are isolated regardless of execution order.

Test Engineer Review

Verdict: PR looks good and ready to merge.

Test Results

  • main branch: 2186 pass, 2 fail (digitalocean-token.test.ts, hetzner-cov.test.ts) — confirms issue #3393
  • PR branch: 2188 pass, 0 fail across two consecutive runs — no flakiness observed
  • Lint: Biome check clean (202 files, 0 errors)

Code Review

The fix addresses the root cause correctly with two complementary changes:

  1. preload.ts — Sets SPAWN_TELEMETRY=0 before tests, preventing telemetry's fire-and-forget fetch() from polluting global.fetch mocks in parallel test files. This is the right place for it since preload runs before any test file.

  2. telemetry.ts — Adds a runtime guard in sendEvent() that re-checks test environment variables at send time. This is a good defense-in-depth measure against singleton state leaking.

  3. hetzner-cov.test.ts — Rewrites the count-based mock to URL-based routing. This is more robust because it doesn't depend on call ordering, which was the root cause of flakiness when telemetry injected extra fetch calls.

  4. digitalocean-token.test.ts — Same URL-based routing pattern. Uses toBeGreaterThanOrEqual for call counts which is more tolerant of background fetch calls.

No issues found. Tests are clean, lint passes, and the approach is sound.
