Description
Three skills extension tests fail on a checkout located beneath a user home that contains .agents content:
ext::skills::host_service_tests::snapshot_for_config_merges_extension_host_and_legacy_plugin_rootsext::skills::host_service_tests::snapshot_for_config_preserves_host_precedence_for_symlinked_plugin_rootext::skills::host_roots_tests::repo_ancestry_without_project_marker_does_not_walk_parents
The failures include skills from the runner user's global ~/.agents/skills and discover the workspace parent .agents root, changing the expected isolated fixture result. Reproduction on the current upstream main is possible with:
cargo nextest run -p codex-skills-extension -E "test(snapshot_for_config_merges_extension_host_and_legacy_plugin_roots)"
cargo nextest run -p codex-skills-extension -E "test(snapshot_for_config_preserves_host_precedence_for_symlinked_plugin_root)"
cargo nextest run -p codex-skills-extension -E "test(repo_ancestry_without_project_marker_does_not_walk_parents)"
Please make these tests hermetic by isolating or overriding global and parent skill discovery, then remove the temporary test quarantines.
