Tests. First automated coverage for the project: 164 tests, 2.7s, no GPU or network. An autouse fixture stubs overclock_manager._sh -- the single choke point for every nvidia-smi/nvidia-settings write -- so no test can mutate the card. They deliberately pin the empirically measured constants that would otherwise rot silently: the cold and warm load figures behind the cache-hit thresholds, the warm_confident residency rule, and the busy/stalled yield split. One test asserts RAM_HIT_GBPS stays at or below the measured 2.63 GB/s warm load, so the old physically unreachable 5.0 GB/s bar cannot come back. Three bugs the suite surfaced, now fixed: - autotune._subsample(values, 1) divided by zero; the early return only covered len(values) <= max_steps. - telemetry_store.stop() flushed its local pending list but never drained the queue, silently losing rows submitted just before a shutdown -- exactly when the last events matter. - ram_optimizer.page_residency's zero-byte short-circuit omitted keys every other return path provides, so a 0-byte file was planned for warming. Reclaim. The README has claimed bidirectional arbitration from the start, but only one direction was ever automatic. Establishing what actually happens took a controlled test with the service stopped: with ComfyUI holding 6.83 GB, Ollama does not spill to the CPU on this box -- it aborts with "cudaMalloc failed: out of memory", because n_gpu_layers is pinned to 99 and it will not reduce the layer count. So both failure modes are handled: _check_ollama_starved watches size_vram < size for the default configuration where Ollama does spill, and switch_ollama_model catches the hard OOM, reclaims VRAM from an idle ComfyUI and retries once. The request that returned HTTP 500 from Ollama directly now succeeds through HyperSwap, loading at 3.85 GB/s after reclaiming 6.83 GB. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
HyperSwap test suite
Fast, hermetic unit tests. No GPU is touched, no network call is made, no systemd unit is
poked, and the production hyperswap.db is never opened.

Safety rails
These matter, because this repo drives a live 4080 SUPER that a running service is using.
tests/conftest.pyinstalls an autouseno_gpu_mutationfixture that replacesoverclock_manager._sh(the single choke point for everynvidia-smi/nvidia-settingswrite) plusapply_profile,apply_fan_control,set_fan_speed,set_fan_autoandrestore_safewith recording stubs. Even a test that accidentally reaches an actuation path can only reach the stub. The fixture yields a dict of recorded calls, which the thermal tests assert against.HYPERSWAP_DBis set to a non-existent path beforetelemetry_storeis imported, so no import can bindDB_PATHto the production database. Tests that need a DB use thetemp_dbfixture, which monkeypatchestelemetry_store.DB_PATHto atmp_pathfile and stops the writer thread afterwards.- All file IO happens against files the tests create in
tmp_path. No real model blob is read andwarm_file_to_ramis never called. - Nothing sweeps, and nothing sends HTTP to Ollama, ComfyUI or :9090.
Measured constants pinned here
These numbers came from measurement on this box, not from taste. If a change makes one of these tests fail, the constant is probably wrong, not the test.

What is deliberately not covered
vram_arbitrator.instant_free_ollama_vram, theAutoArbitratoryield/purge paths and the SSE broker — under active edit, contract changing.overclock_manager.apply_profileand every other actuation path,autotune.sweep,ram_optimizer.warm_file_to_ram— these mutate hardware or do heavy IO.server.pyHTTP routes andmcp_server.py— would need the app wired to live subsystems.
Known rough edge the tests work around
telemetry_store.stop() flushes the writer's pending batch but does not drain the
submission queue, so a stop() racing a just-submitted row can drop it. The writer tests
call a local _drain() helper to wait for the queue to empty before stopping, rather than
encoding the race into an assertion.
