[Fix] Keep the build step in progress until npm run build has exited - #504

The status's "built" is one marker file, and on Gutenberg that file lands mid-way through npm run build. A status refresh during the build read the step as done and unlocked the dev server over a half-written build/; since #500 that server starts at once on it. A build still running now overrides the marker, the same rule the install step got in #496. Fixes #502. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…s failed, not complete Self-review of the first commit: buildFailed was outranked by the marker, so a build stopped or failed late, with block-library's bundle already on disk, read "Build complete" and unlocked the dev server. Within a session the flag is never stale (every build path clears it on success), so it now overrides the marker like `building` does. The build button's variant follows the step state, as its label already did. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe setup state logic now ignores an existing build marker while a build is running or has failed. The build and dev steps use the validated completion state. Setup copy and the build button variant use computed state. Unit tests cover running and failed builds with an existing marker. Assessment against linked issues

## Why `v1.1.0` shipped on 16 September. Sixteen commits since then reach trunk, and this beta is the first build that carries the Gutenberg contribution target (#251): a site can now be a checkout of `WordPress/gutenberg`, served through Playground as a plugin in a stock WordPress, with a GitHub issue as its work item, pull request checkout from that issue, and a pull request opened against `WordPress/gutenberg` from the app. The manual pass of that work ran on macOS and on Windows over 18 to 20 September and found six issues; the four that affected the first-run path are fixed on trunk (#489, #493, #496, #500, #504, and #491 for the hint), the rest are on the `v1.2.0-beta.2` milestone. `electron-builder` derives artifact names from `package.json`, so the version has to move before the tag and the artifacts exist. A beta is a pre-release, so `releases/latest` stays on `v1.1.0`. ## What changes Only the version. All three package-version fields in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` move together from `1.1.0` to `1.2.0-beta.1`. No dependency versions change, and there is no application behaviour change in this PR. ## How to test this Platforms: any for the suite; macOS and Windows for the artifact checks that follow the merge. 1. `npm run lint` is clean and `npm test` passes. 2. `node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)"` prints `1.2.0-beta.1`. 3. `python3 -c "import json;d=json.load(open('package-lock.json'));print(d['version'], d['packages']['']['version'])"` prints `1.2.0-beta.1 1.2.0-beta.1`. **What must not have happened:** no dependency version may change. `git diff` must show exactly three changed lines, all of them the root package version. After merge, the release build must produce artifacts named `wordpress-contributor-toolkit-1.2.0-beta.1-*`; the asar root must be exactly `node_modules`, `package.json`, `src`, with npm 11 under `node_modules/npm` and no `.codesigning` directory; on macOS `CFBundleShortVersionString` reads `1.2.0-beta.1`. ## Risks and limitations No UI change. The risk is a mis-scoped edit in `package-lock.json`, where dependencies also carry version fields; the replacement was confined to the first 2000 bytes of the file, which hold the two root entries and nothing else, and both files were re-parsed as JSON afterwards. Verified locally on this branch: lint clean, `npm test` 1596 pass / 0 fail. ## Related Part of #251.

Deterministic layer only: lint clean, 1596 tests pass, both files valid JSON, diff confined to the three root version fields.

Why
On a Gutenberg site the wizard's Run full build step flipped to COMPLETED ("Build complete") and Start dev server & finish wizard to READY while
npm run buildwas still running: banner on step 3 of 3, terminal in phase 4 (widgets). Seen on 20 Sep 2026 on Windows (UTM VM, trunk artifactffbdb3c), right after #496 fixed the same thing for the install step. Since #500 a click there starts Playground at once on that half-writtenbuild/(#502).What changes
Root cause.
computeSetupStepStatetook the build step as done when the status'shasBuiltwas true. That is one marker file,build/scripts/block-library/index.min.js, which Gutenberg's build writes mid-way (phase 2), with routes, widgets and the PHP registries still to come. Any status refresh during the build (switching windows is enough) read the site as built. Thebuildingflag was ignored, exactly asinstallingwas in #495.The fix. The step is built only when the marker is there and no build is running and the last build did not fail:
builtOk = hasBuilt && !building && !buildFailed. It drives the build step's done state and the dev step's ready state; the step's label and the button's variant follow the step state instead of the raw flag. The failed-build half comes from the self-review: a build stopped or failed late leaves the marker on disk, and within a sessionbuildFailedis never stale (every build path clears it on success), so a flag still set outranks the marker.How to test this
Platforms: either; Windows is where the build is slow enough to catch. Build: the Buildkite artifact for the current head, or
npm startfrom the repository root.Starting state: no site, or a Gutenberg site at the download step.
What must not have happened: the dev server enabled while
npm run buildruns; a build stopped mid-way reading "Build complete"; a built site's step reading anything but complete.Tests:
tests/unit/setup-steps.test.cjs, a marker written mid-build does not complete the build step and a build still running reads in progress, whatever the marker says fail on trunk (build.donewas the raw marker) and pass here; a build that failed over an existing marker reads failed, not complete replaces the earlier test that had the opposite premise, with the reason in its comment. Lint clean, 1596 unit tests pass.Risks and limitations
buildFailedis session-local: after an app restart a build that failed late over an existing marker reads complete again, as on trunk. Persisting it like the install outcome is in Start dev server and Start build watch are reachable while a build is running outside the wizard #503.Related
Fixes #502. Same rule as #496 (#495). Follow-up #503. Part of the v1.2.0-beta.1 pass.

2 [fix here] · 1 [follow-up] on
e5b762d— both fix-here fixed inf1ed783.Fixed: a build that failed or was stopped over an existing marker read complete and unlocked the dev server (
builtOknow requires!buildFailed;build.failedno longer tests the raw marker; the colliding test's premise revisited and rewritten).Fixed: the "In progress" status string had no ladder assertion; added.
Fixed (style): the build button's variant keyed off the raw marker while its label followed the step state.
Deferred to Start dev server and Start build watch are reachable while a build is running outside the wizard #503: the skip-wizard path (action bar reachable while a build runs) and persisting the build outcome across restarts; both pre-existing.
