Problem

  • Desktop PRs fail the new Linux electron-test job about one run in five on Smoke Tests › window has correct minimum dimensions, with a height of 573 instead of 600 (run, run).
  • The test reads the window size right after domcontentloaded. The main process maximizes the window on ready-to-show, which can fire later.
  • The window opens at a 600px outer height. On macOS the hidden title bar makes the content the same 600px, so the race never showed. On Linux the frame takes 27px, so a read before the maximize lands sees 573.

Changes

  • The Linux Electron job stops failing on a late maximize. No user-facing change.
  • The assertion polls the window size for up to ten seconds instead of reading it once. The bound starts after the app booted, so it waits for the final size only.

The deeper fix is useContentSize: true on the main window, so minHeight applies to the content on every platform. That changes window sizing for users and belongs to the desktop team, so this PR stays in the test.

How did you test this code?

  • The rewritten assertion catches the same regression as before: a minWidth or minHeight drop on the main window fails it.
  • Not run locally: the desktop workspace is not installed in this checkout. The CI run on this PR is the test.

Claude Code (Fable 5.1). Skills invoked: /writing-tests, /writing-code-comments, /writing-pr-descriptions. Found while babysitting #96681, whose desktop CI hit this. Same shape as #97145: a fixed read racing a window event.

The main process maximizes the window on ready-to-show, which can fire
after domcontentloaded. The test read the size once, so a late maximize
showed the 600px outer frame on Linux, where the title bar leaves 573px of
content. macOS never hit it because the hidden title bar keeps the content
at 600px. Poll for the final size instead, bounded so a missing window
manager still fails clearly.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new test logic uses two separate 10s polls (width then height), which can extend failures to ~20s and conflicts with the stated “up to ten seconds” bound.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the PostHog Desktop Electron smoke test to avoid a race between domcontentloaded (when the Playwright window fixture is ready) and the main-process maximize that occurs later on ready-to-show, which has been causing flaky minimum-dimensions assertions on Linux.

Changes:

  • Replaces a single read of window.innerWidth/innerHeight with polling, so the assertion observes the final post-maximize size.
  • Adds a short explanatory comment clarifying why polling is necessary for this test.

Approved.

Test-only change fixing a flaky e2e assertion by polling instead of reading window size once; no production code, CI config, or risky territory touched, and the diff matches the description.

P2 Badge Keep the assertion tied to the minimum-size state

With a fresh E2E profile, windowStateStore defaults isMaximized to true (apps/code/src/main/utils/store.ts:83-92), and showWindow() calls maximize() (apps/code/src/main/window.ts:298-307). On the 1920×1080 CI display, these polls can therefore pass on the maximized dimensions even if BrowserWindow's minWidth or minHeight is lowered or removed, so the test no longer catches the minimum-dimension regression its name promises. Exercise an unmaximized resize at the minimum size instead of treating the maximized display size as proof of the constraint.

Fair, and it was already true before this change: the window opens at 1200x600, so the old single read passed with or without the constraint. This PR only stabilizes the read. A follow-up can shrink the window through the main process and assert it stops at 800x600, which is what the test name promises.
