Dec 1, 2025December 2025 (Month: 2025-12) - facebook/fboss delivered a critical stability improvement for Platform Manager Hardware Test (PlatformManagerHwTest) to ensure reliable results in fast platform exploration scenarios. The fix changes the comparison from greater-than to greater-than-or-equal-to to account for quick explorations where platform_manager.json timestamps may be identical, reducing flaky test outcomes. Implemented in commit 0765d190185f3ea0f3f868843f60a42b9ea85344 and merged via PR 752; validated with NH-4010 where 8 tests passed post-fix. The work included thorough pre-submission linting and a documented test plan, with code review feedback incorporated. Overall impact: lower CI flakiness, faster feedback loops for hardware validation, and more reliable test results, delivering business value by accelerating platform exploration and stabilizing hardware testing.
