Plans quest/m1/mock-clock-tests/manual-drive-host-io.md [M], a child of the mocked-clock epic: Manual.drive stops time exactly at the deadline the driven work meets, even when the work first waits on a mocked transport delivery, so js/net's driveUntil workaround from moq-dev/moq#8165 can be deleted. It is blocked on #8165's quest, which adds the callers.

Decisions

Maintainer, 2026-11-07, /quest-complete:

• ✅ Child of the mock-clock epic, m1
• Separate quest in m2
• Drop it

Design checkpoint after three review rounds:

• ✅ Rethink: outcomes only (the quest states the outcome and three required tests; its PR picks the mechanism)
• Continue fixing the prescribed mechanism
• Merge as is
• Drop the PR

Also settled in the quest: predicate driveUntil callers pass drive a promise resolving on their event (epic rule); a dynamic import() is out of scope.

Public API: none in this PR. Wire: none.

Review

New review series after the design change. Codex gpt-6.1-sol (medium) via quest review --new, round 1, head f2b3f42 against origin/main fcd6c8f: no findings. The earlier series' online findings (pullfrog x4, CodeRabbit x3) are answered by the rewrite.

Walkthrough

The changes add a planning document for mocked-I/O behavior in Manual.drive and link to it from the mock-clock tests README. The document proposes tests for mocked-stream reads before a deadline, replacing predicate-based js/net driveUntil callers with awaits, and keeping drive promise-only. It also states that dynamic imports and clock-side host-queue checks are out of scope.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review a78d4

This documentation-only change is mergeable with bounded follow-up. Clarify timeout and background-traffic behavior, preserve clock driving for timer-dependent waits, and add the stalled-read scenario before implementing the plan.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main behavior change: Manual.drive waits for mocked I/O that the driven work is blocked on. The changeset is a planning document (manual-drive-host-io.md) that proposes exactly this change, plus a one-line README link. The title matches the main subject of the PR.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description ties directly to the changeset. It names the planning document manual-drive-host-io.md, the Manual.drive deadline behavior for mocked transport deliveries, and the js/net driveUntil workaround from PR #8165 that the plan would allow deleting. It also gives decisions, scope, and the absence of public API or wire changes, which match the summary and objectives. The description is on-topic, so the check passes.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head 9d37a0a.

No additional actionable findings beyond the existing planning threads. The diagnosis matches Manual.#advance: after one host-task drain it checks only counted tasks before selecting the next timer, so uncounted host work can still be pending. Moving that coordination into the shared clock/test-I/O boundary is preferable to callers advancing in arbitrary 1 ms steps.

The implementation should settle the already-noted predicate-call migration and dynamic-import coverage, and distinguish host-only work from work that itself needs a mocked timer, so holding time cannot deadlock the latter. Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of both planning files, Manual and host-task scheduling, plus published review threads. No implementation, reproduction or tests run.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head a78d44a, incrementally since 9d37a0a on the unchanged base.

No new actionable findings. The planning gaps noted previously are addressed: predicate callers await their actual signal/event, and dynamic imports are explicitly prepared before driving rather than covered by an unsupported host-quiescence promise. Limiting the counted work to controlled mock-transport deliveries is a more implementable direction than holding time for arbitrary pending work.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the two-document update against the previously inspected Manual/host scheduling code. No implementation, tests or quest validation run.

[pullfrog]

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

• Narrowed the quest to mocked I/O — the title and Goal now scope the fix to a mocked transport's I/O instead of all uncounted host work, so drive stops at the deadline the driven work meets.
• Recorded the predicate-call decision — predicate driveUntil callers await the signal or event their predicate reads, per the epic's "await the event it means" rule, and drive stays promise-only.
• Scoped out dynamic import() — the Plan explains that a clock-side quiescence check would be a quiet window (which the epic rules out) and that a test preloads its module before driving.
• Epic index — the README entry follows the new title.

Add a stalled-read timeout test to the plan.

If every pending read keeps the task count positive, the planned successful-read test can pass while an undelivered read prevents its timeout from firing. Also test a mocked read with no delivery and assert that drive settles at the timeout deadline.

Suggested plan update

-deadline, asserting the clock stops at that deadline.
+deadline, asserting the clock stops at that deadline. Also test a mocked
+read with no delivery against a manual-clock timeout. Assert that the
+timeout settles the work and the clock stops at its deadline.

- Around line 29-32: Update the manual-drive guidance around `drive` to
distinguish ordinary event waits from predicates that depend on manual-clock
timers: for timer-dependent waits, pass `clock.drive` a promise that resolves
when the predicate becomes true, rather than only awaiting the event. Keep
`drive` promise-only without introducing a predicate overload.
- Around line 21-22: Revise the manual-drive plan around `drive` and `#tasks` so
unrelated mock transport deliveries cannot keep the outstanding-task count
positive indefinitely and starve deadlines; establish how deliveries are
accounted for while preserving progress on work the drive is awaiting. Add a
regression test that generates continuous background traffic and verifies the
awaited timer deadline still fires.
- Around line 5-6: Update the description of Manual.drive to clarify that it
waits for queued mocked transport deliveries before firing a deadline, but a
deadline can still fire when no delivery is queued while work waits on mocked
I/O. Keep the wording focused on this distinction.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head b4323ce, incrementally since a78d44a on the unchanged base.

No new actionable findings. The update addresses the subsequently raised planning issues: only already-queued deliveries hold time, an undelivered read can still time out, background traffic must not starve deadlines, and predicate callers pass their event promise to drive so timer-dependent events can progress. The explicit background-traffic regression requirement is a useful addition.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the planning delta and published reviews, against the previously inspected scheduling design. This remains a plan; no implementation or tests were run.

[pullfrog]

ℹ️ No critical issues — two plan clarifications inline.

Reviewed changes

• Narrowed the hold rule — the Goal now holds drive only for a mocked delivery already queued for the driven work, with a read that has nothing in flight still timing out.
• Required delivery fairness — the Plan forbids deliveries from starving a deadline (hold only pre-drain deliveries) and adds a continuous-background-traffic regression test.
• Tightened the predicate-caller choice — predicate callers pass drive a promise resolving on the event they read, so a timer that event depends on still fires.

Design change: at the round-4 design checkpoint the maintainer picked "Rethink: outcomes only" (2026-11-07, /quest-complete). The quest now states the outcome and three required tests (a delivered read stops at its deadline, a read with nothing in flight times out, continuous traffic never starves a deadline) and leaves the mechanism to its PR, since prescribing one took three rounds without settling. This answers pullfrog's two open threads: the contradictory mechanism is gone, and the timeout case is now a required test. Review restarts with quest review --new.

Reviewed head f2b3f42, incrementally since b4323ce on the unchanged base.

No new actionable findings. Replacing the prescribed queue-counting mechanism with explicit behavioral requirements is a sound planning direction. The three required cases retain the important distinctions: queued delivery beats its timeout, an undelivered read still times out, and background traffic cannot starve deadlines. Promise-based predicate migration and dynamic-import preparation remain explicit; the implementation still needs to demonstrate those outcomes together.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the revised plan against the preceding design and reviews. No implementation, tests or quest validation run.

[pullfrog]

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

• Outcomes replace the prescribed mechanism — the Plan now says the quest states outcomes and required tests, and the implementing PR chooses how, recording the maintainer's design checkpoint after three review rounds that did not settle a mechanism.
• Three required tests pin the outcome — a queued delivery resolving before the clock passes its deadline with time stopping at the met deadline, an in-flight-free read timing out at its deadline, and continuous background deliveries never starving a deadline.
• Goal rewritten as behavior only — drive stops time exactly at the deadline the driven work meets, even when the work first waits on a mocked transport delivery, and driveUntil is deleted with every caller passing drive a promise.
• Settled constraints kept — predicate callers await the event their predicate reads (drive stays promise-only) and dynamic import() stays out of scope with the quiet-window rationale.
