Root cause

10 tests in test_vassal_agent_health.py and test_vassal_orchestration_loop.py timed out at 30s under tox -e unit (pytest-xdist parallel execution).

The tests called check_agent_health(), get_full_health_report(), and run_cycle() without mocking config.settings. Since gitea_enabled=True by default and the Gitea token is loaded from .timmy_gitea_token, real HTTP connections were attempted:

Gitea via httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=15) — up to 15s per call
Ollama via urllib.request.urlopen(timeout=5) in get_system_snapshot — up to 5s per call

With 14 xdist workers all making simultaneous network calls, the 30s per-test timeout was exceeded.

Fix

Patch config.settings with gitea_enabled=False / gitea_token="" in each affected test → fetch_open_issues() and check_agent_health() bail out immediately without any HTTP calls
Patch timmy.vassal.house_health.get_system_snapshot → avoids the Ollama probe in run_cycle tests
Add _disabled_settings() and _fast_snapshot() helper functions to reduce repetition

After the fix: all 435 unit tests pass in 16.4s (well under the 30s budget).

Fixes #1243 ## Root cause 10 tests in `test_vassal_agent_health.py` and `test_vassal_orchestration_loop.py` timed out at 30s under `tox -e unit` (pytest-xdist parallel execution). The tests called `check_agent_health()`, `get_full_health_report()`, and `run_cycle()` without mocking `config.settings`. Since `gitea_enabled=True` by default and the Gitea token is loaded from `.timmy_gitea_token`, real HTTP connections were attempted: - **Gitea** via `httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=15)` — up to 15s per call - **Ollama** via `urllib.request.urlopen(timeout=5)` in `get_system_snapshot` — up to 5s per call With 14 xdist workers all making simultaneous network calls, the 30s per-test timeout was exceeded. ## Fix - Patch `config.settings` with `gitea_enabled=False` / `gitea_token=""` in each affected test → `fetch_open_issues()` and `check_agent_health()` bail out immediately without any HTTP calls - Patch `timmy.vassal.house_health.get_system_snapshot` → avoids the Ollama probe in `run_cycle` tests - Add `_disabled_settings()` and `_fast_snapshot()` helper functions to reduce repetition After the fix: all 435 unit tests pass in 16.4s (well under the 30s budget).

10 tests in test_vassal_agent_health.py and test_vassal_orchestration_loop.py
were timing out at 30s when run in parallel via tox -e unit (pytest-xdist).

Root cause: tests called check_agent_health(), get_full_health_report(), and
run_cycle() without mocking config.settings, causing live HTTP requests to
Gitea (15s timeout) and Ollama (5s timeout). Under xdist with N workers all
making simultaneous network calls, the 30s test timeout was exceeded.

Fix: add proper mock patches to each affected test so no real network calls
are made:
- patch config.settings with gitea_enabled=False / gitea_token="" → makes
  fetch_open_issues() and check_agent_health() bail out immediately
- patch timmy.vassal.house_health.get_system_snapshot → avoids Ollama probe
  (urllib.request.urlopen with 5s timeout) in run_cycle tests
- add _disabled_settings() and _fast_snapshot() helpers in orchestration_loop
  tests for DRY patching

Fixes #1243
