test: the last host-clock waits run on a mocked clock or await their event - #8367
The last tests that proved nothing happened by waiting, slept to settle, or asserted on elapsed real time: seven bare kio::clock::host_time() opt-outs in moq-relay's TCP auth tests, moq-ffi's applied-bitrate poll, and the OBS plugin tests (which no runtime guard sees).
Approach
moq-relay: the tests install a kio::clock::Manual on the test runtime (crate::manual(), now shared from main.rs), so the relay's timers fire only on advance while its sockets stay real. A re-check cadence passes by clock.advance(CADENCE). A push or the handshake deadline then proves its close with the clock standing still, instead of a "well inside the cadence" budget. a_refusal_closes_live_sessions and a_rechecked_grant_resizes_live_sessions run their cases in turn, since they now share one clock. assert_closed drops its per-call budget for the shared TIMEOUT watchdog.
session_revalidate's wait_listed (polling GET /sessions on 25 ms kio sleeps) becomes listed: it yields until the in-process registry holds the sessions, then lists once. A session registers at admission, which the client's established() does not wait for (an earlier version that read once failed).
moq-ffi: VideoProducer gains a #[cfg(test)] condvar that the follow thread notifies under the rendition's one lock after each retune, and wait_applied blocks on it. No second channel beside the lock; release builds are unchanged.
OBS: Drain(worker) (in moq-test-relay.h) runs whatever the worker already queued. A dropped moq::Continuation never runs unless its result was queued first, so after a stop or failure that drain replaces the 50 to 100 ms windows. A result whose delivery already began when its continuation was dropped can still queue after the drain, so the check can miss that stale continuation but never fails falsely; production's Current() check is what rejects it. failures outliving the output relies on the destructor joining the worker. The source's broadcast ends awaits the source re-arming its available() wait (the cancel hook the destroy during connect test already uses). invalid settings disconnect checks the connection is gone and drains. moq-dock-stop-test orders the close by events: the worker ends only once closing is set, and the worker's wait for closing has a 10 s deadline after which it ends anyway, so it can never fail the test, and the close's deadline is one the test never reaches, so only the end's notify releases it. obs-moq-test reads the parked accept with wait_for(0).
Decisions
Dock-stop test's close deadline (maintainer, 2026-11-09, design checkpoint after review round 3): ✅ keep closeAndWait(std::chrono::hours(1)), a deadline the test never reaches, so only end()'s notify releases the close (rejected: an injectable clock or untimed waitIdle() on MoQDockStopBridge, a production change only for this test; dropping the timing check). A lost end() notify hangs the OBS job up to its 60-minute limit instead of failing fast.
Impact
None. Tests only, plus a #[cfg(test)] field and helper in rs/moq-ffi/src/video.rs.
Decisions made without asking
a_moved_tier_retags_the_live_session and a_pushed_retier_arrives_on_the_next_reply yield on the stats registry until the retier lands (no timer), as admission_tests::a_moved_gateway_tier_retags_its_stats already does. Nothing signals a retag, and adding a stats change notification only for tests is not worth its weight.
a_rechecked_grant_resizes_live_sessions and http_routes_hold_a_lease had no opt-out, yet waited out a real 1 s cadence (2.1 s and 1.06 s; now under 0.2 s). They are converted too.
socket_auth::a_reader_of_everything_lists_no_session drops its opt-out unchanged: no relay timer fired there across 30 stress iterations under KIO_DENY_HOST_TIMERS=1.
Kept: moq-output-test.cpp's stalled obs_output_set_last_error (50 ms) in failure racing user Stop. It holds the report open so a concurrent Stop() blocks on signal_mutex, and a thread blocked on a mutex signals nothing. A hook in Stop() only for this test would cost more than the window, which can only miss a regression, never fail falsely.
Every OBS event wait is bounded at 10 s (Drain, the source's re-arm, the dock-stop worker), like WaitFor: the OBS binaries have no per-test timeout, so an unbounded wait would wedge the job for its 60-minute limit. Rust waits keep relying on nextest's terminate-after (60 s), which is why kio::clock::timeout(TIMEOUT, ..) staying dead under crate::manual() is documented at TIMEOUT rather than replaced.
Drain accepts the narrow race where a completion already in delivery queues after it (a missed regression, never a false failure), instead of observing each target callback's enqueue per site.
Kept: the 2 and 10 ms pacing sleeps in the OBS source test's WriteUntil and writer loops. They pace a publisher while waiting for progress under a timeout, which the settled scope leaves alone.
obs-moq-test gets no event for "accept is parked": the only signal is moq-dev/moq#8363's #[cfg(test)] MoqServer::accepting(), and cert_fingerprints()'s Busy goes away there.
Alternatives
Shared = kio::Producer<Option<VideoProducer>>, which would make the rendition lock itself observable, but it drops the poisoning MoqVideoProducer::with maps to a panic error and touches every lock site.
Joining the OBS worker instead of draining it drops queued continuations unrun, which would hide a stale one that Current() fails to reject.
Overlaps
moq-dev/moq#8220 edits the deadline line this PR deletes from video_encoder_follows_a_shrinking_grant; whichever lands second drops that hunk.
No single PR: these tests predate the host-timer guard (moq-dev/moq#8081), which opted them out for this quest to convert.
Follow-ups
The host-timer guard did not flag a_rechecked_grant_resizes_live_sessions or http_routes_hold_a_lease, though both waited out a real lease cadence. Recommend planning it: a test that waits real time unflagged is the class the guard exists to catch, so find which path skips guard::fired (the WebSocket session's lease timers are the common factor).
Checks
Iterate round: just obs test (ThreadSanitizer) and just check passed.
just check passed; just test interop --all passed.
just rs test -p moq-relay: 430 passed; the converted tests passed 30/30 stress iterations.
moq-ffi follower and rung tests: 20/20 stress iterations.

moq-relay's TCP auth tests install a Manual clock on the test runtime, so a
re-check cadence passes by `advance` and a push or deadline proves its close
with the clock standing still. `listed` awaits the session registry instead of
polling GET /sessions on sleeps. The FFI follower test waits on a test-only
condvar the follow thread notifies under the rendition's lock. The OBS tests
drain the plugin's worker, observe the source re-arm its broadcast wait, and
order the dock-stop close by events instead of elapsed time.

One actionable finding: the OBS worker drain does not establish the completion ordering needed by the new negative assertions. No other actionable findings in the manual-clock, session-listing, or encoder-retune changes.
Verification: GitHub-only source review, including surrounding lifecycle code and the pinned C++ binding generator. Builds and tests were not run; Check is still in progress.

[P2] Synchronize completion dispatch before declaring the worker drained
Cancellation does not guarantee that every surviving continuation is already queued. In the pinned generator, complete() sets finished_ before delivering the result, while cancel() is a no-op once finished_ is true. If completion pauses in that gap, Stop/update drops the continuation, this marker runs, and the signal/frame assertion passes before completion later enqueues the stale callback. The replacement therefore can miss the regression it claims to rule out. Arrange and observe the target callback's enqueue before retiring the attempt and draining, or synchronize upstream completion dispatch before posting this marker.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Confirmed against the pinned generator: FutureContinuation::cancel() is a no-op once complete() has set finished_, and the result is then still dispatched to the worker, so a completion already in delivery can queue after Drain's marker. Corrected Drain's comment in 5222727: it can miss such a stale continuation, never fail falsely; production's Current() check is what rejects it. Observing each target callback's enqueue per site would make every drain site a bespoke race harness for a microsecond window, so I kept Drain and recorded that tradeoff under the PR's decisions.

Reviewed changes
moq-relay tests: crate::manual() is shared from tests/integration/main.rs and installs a kio::clock::Manual on the test runtime, so relay timers fire only on advance while sockets stay real. The re-check cadences pass explicitly via clock.advance(CADENCE), retag waits and wait_listed → listed yield on in-process state, and assert_closed drops its per-call budget for TIMEOUT.
moq-ffi: VideoProducer gains a #[cfg(test)] condvar notified under the rendition's lock after each retune, and wait_applied waits on it instead of polling applied_bitrate() every 10 ms.
OBS tests: a new Drain(worker) runs already-queued continuations in place of the settle sleeps, MoQDockStopBridge is driven through its own condvar, the source test hooks available_call to observe the re-arm, and obs-moq-test reads the parked accept with wait_for(0).
quest: deletes the completed mock-clock-tests quest and its m1 index row, with no leftover references.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
This wait has no bound, and the OBS test binaries are run straight from sh/obs/unit.sh with no per-test timeout, so a regression in re-arming available() wedges the job for its 60-minute CI limit instead of failing it. The destroy during connect case above waits on the same kind of hook with wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(10)) and a CHECK, for exactly this reason.
Technical details
# Bound the re-arm wait## Affected sites-`cpp/obs/test/moq-source-test.cpp:1928` — `offline.get_future().wait()`## Required outcome- A lost re-arm fails the test instead of parking the worker-thread-adjacent wait forever; the assertion still proves the event (the replacement continuation runs), not a quiet window.
## Suggested approach (optional)-`CHECK(offline.get_future().wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(10)) == std::future_status::ready);`, matching `destroy during connect` at `cpp/obs/test/moq-source-test.cpp:1843` and `WaitFor`'s 10 s default.
## Open questions for the human (optional)- The dock-stop test accepts a 1 h budget with the same consequence ("a lost notify hangs instead"). If hanging is the intended failure mode repo-wide, worth a note in the quest or `cpp/obs/test` so the next conversion doesn't have to rediscover it.

Fixed in 5222727: CHECK(offline.get_future().wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(10)) == std::future_status::ready), matching WaitFor. On a lost re-arm, destroySource cancels the replacement, which sets offline while it is still in scope. Drain is bounded the same way.

Once crate::manual() is installed, kio::clock::timeout arms on that clock, so this guard can only fire if the test advances past TIMEOUT — and none of the new manual-clock tests do. In those tests assert_closed therefore has no bound (unlike an_embedded_decider_admits_and_revokes, which installs no clock), and the panic! message below is unreachable; the real bound is nextest's 60 s slow-timeout.
Technical details
# `TIMEOUT` cannot fire on an installed clock## Affected sites-`rs/moq-relay/tests/integration/auth_lifetime.rs:432` — `assert_closed`-`rs/moq-relay/tests/integration/auth_lifetime.rs:111` — `Script::until`; also `assert_open_until_closed` through `ends_at_least`-`rs/moq-relay/tests/integration/auth_lifetime.rs:1784`, `:1789` — the handshake-deadline test's `connecting` / `connection.closed()`-`rs/moq-relay/tests/integration/session_revalidate.rs:78`, `:279` — `Script::until` and `connect`
Every one of these lives inside a test that now calls `crate::manual()`, so the `expect`/`panic!` text they guard ("relay should close the … session", "the deafened track never ended", "connect timeout") can never be observed.
## Required outcome- Either the guarded messages become reachable again, or the wrapper goes so the code does not advertise a bound it cannot enforce.
## Suggested approach (optional)- If a per-test bound is wanted, take it off the host clock (`tokio::time::timeout`, which `Manual::install` does not touch); otherwise delete the `kio::clock::timeout(TIMEOUT, …)` wrappers in the converted tests and rely on nextest, as the C++ tests rely on their own budget.
## Open questions for the human (optional)- The PR body describes `assert_closed` as keeping "the shared `TIMEOUT` watchdog"; was that the intent, or is a hang-until-nextest-timeout the intended failure mode here?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed that kio::clock::timeout(TIMEOUT, ..) cannot fire under crate::manual(). The wrappers stay because the helpers are shared with host-clock tests (an_embedded_decider_admits_and_revokes) where they do fire; under the manual clock nextest's terminate-after (.config/nextest.toml, 60 s) is the bound and still names the hung test. Documented that at TIMEOUT in both files in 5222727 rather than adding a second, host-clock watchdog.
C++ and Rust tests replace several fixed sleeps and polling loops with worker drains, explicit cancellation or condition-variable signals, manual-clock advancement, and yield-based checks. Relay integration tests use a shared manual-clock helper and update session-list and closure checks. The mocked-clock test documentation is removed.
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 14bfa

Fixed in 5222727: the worker's wait for closing is wait_for(10 s) and calls end() either way, so a lost markClosing() notify costs time, never a hang or a false failure. The close keeps a deadline the test never reaches so only end()'s notify releases it; the local reviewer's objection to that remaining deadline is left as a maintainer decision in the PR body.

@kixelated I checked commit 52227275cd. The worker’s wait now has a 10-second timeout.
The test can still pass if markClosing() does not notify, so the requested failure report remains unaddressed. I understand that this behavior is intentional.

- Model a lifecycle as one enum or union whose variants carry their data, mark it terminal only after the work that can fail, and guard each value with one lock (see State in `REVIEW.md`).
Source excerpt:
# Tests
Unit tests mock time instead of depending on the real clock: a test that sleeps to let work settle, waits out a timeout to prove nothing happened, or asserts that an operation finished within a real-time budget passes on a quiet machine and flakes under load.
Flag one in any language, even when the timer goes through `kio::clock` or `@moq/clock`, whose timers still wait in real time until the test installs a paused, simulated, or `Manual` clock.
The fix is a mocked clock or an awaited event, never a shorter or longer real wait or a looser budget, and the same fix lands in every language's sibling test.
The exception is a test that drives real sockets, devices, or processes, which may wait on the real clock and opts out with `host_time()` or `hostTime()`; that opt-out belongs nowhere else.
The runtime guards fail Rust and bun tests only when a timer fires on the host clock, so they miss Go and Python tests, elapsed-time assertions, and any wait that bypasses those clocks; and Rust's `host_time()` lasts for the whole process, so it hides other tests' waits outside nextest's one-test-per-process runs.

Declining: a panicking follower leaves wait_applied blocked only until nextest's terminate-after kills the test (.config/nextest.toml; the test::rung override is 2 x 120 s), which reports it as a failing TIMEOUT by name. moq-ffi runs only under nextest (rs/justfile), not one shared cargo test process. A terminal-state channel beside the lock only for this test isn't worth its weight. Everything here is #[cfg(test)], so release builds are unchanged.

@kixelated Understood. Nextest reports a stalled test as a timeout, and the additional test-only signaling is not worth the complexity here. I’ll drop the request.

Learning: In the Rust workspace, `rs/CLAUDE.md` requires time-dependent async tests to call `tokio::time::pause()` first. Tests that synchronize through observable lifecycle edges should not add arbitrary wall-clock `tokio::time::timeout` calls solely to detect wedges; `.config/nextest.toml` provides the repository-level slow-test timeout and terminates tests that stop making progress.

Learning: Applies to rs/** : Source excerpt:
# Testing
- Run tests through `just` (nextest), not `cargo test`. A SLOW test is a bug to fix, not a threshold to raise.
No new actionable findings in the changes since 14bfa31: OBS wait watchdogs, promise ownership/cleanup, and the Rust timeout clarifications. The PR base is unchanged.
The prior Drain ordering race remains behaviorally unchanged. The corrected comment and author response now explicitly retain it as a coverage tradeoff, rather than claiming the marker catches every surviving continuation.
Verification: GitHub-only incremental source review; builds and tests were not run. Check is still in progress.

Problem
The last tests that proved nothing happened by waiting, slept to settle, or asserted on elapsed real time: seven bare
kio::clock::host_time()opt-outs in moq-relay's TCP auth tests, moq-ffi's applied-bitrate poll, and the OBS plugin tests (which no runtime guard sees).Approach
kio::clock::Manualon the test runtime (crate::manual(), now shared frommain.rs), so the relay's timers fire only onadvancewhile its sockets stay real. A re-check cadence passes byclock.advance(CADENCE). A push or the handshake deadline then proves its close with the clock standing still, instead of a "well inside the cadence" budget.a_refusal_closes_live_sessionsanda_rechecked_grant_resizes_live_sessionsrun their cases in turn, since they now share one clock.assert_closeddrops its per-call budget for the sharedTIMEOUTwatchdog.session_revalidate'swait_listed(polling GET /sessions on 25 ms kio sleeps) becomeslisted: it yields until the in-process registry holds the sessions, then lists once. A session registers at admission, which the client'sestablished()does not wait for (an earlier version that read once failed).VideoProducergains a#[cfg(test)]condvar that the follow thread notifies under the rendition's one lock after each retune, andwait_appliedblocks on it. No second channel beside the lock; release builds are unchanged.Drain(worker)(inmoq-test-relay.h) runs whatever the worker already queued. A droppedmoq::Continuationnever runs unless its result was queued first, so after a stop or failure that drain replaces the 50 to 100 ms windows. A result whose delivery already began when its continuation was dropped can still queue after the drain, so the check can miss that stale continuation but never fails falsely; production'sCurrent()check is what rejects it.failures outliving the outputrelies on the destructor joining the worker. The source'sbroadcast endsawaits the source re-arming itsavailable()wait (the cancel hook thedestroy during connecttest already uses).invalid settings disconnectchecks the connection is gone and drains.moq-dock-stop-testorders the close by events: the worker ends only onceclosingis set, and the worker's wait forclosinghas a 10 s deadline after which it ends anyway, so it can never fail the test, and the close's deadline is one the test never reaches, so only the end's notify releases it.obs-moq-testreads the parked accept withwait_for(0).Decisions
closeAndWait(std::chrono::hours(1)), a deadline the test never reaches, so onlyend()'s notify releases the close (rejected: an injectable clock or untimedwaitIdle()onMoQDockStopBridge, a production change only for this test; dropping the timing check). A lostend()notify hangs the OBS job up to its 60-minute limit instead of failing fast.Impact

Nothing signals a retag, and adding a stats change notification only for tests is not worth its weight.a_rechecked_grant_resizes_live_sessionsandhttp_routes_hold_a_leasehad no opt-out, yet waited out a real 1 s cadence (2.1 s and 1.06 s; now under 0.2 s). They are converted too.socket_auth::a_reader_of_everything_lists_no_sessiondrops its opt-out unchanged: no relay timer fired there across 30 stress iterations underKIO_DENY_HOST_TIMERS=1.moq-output-test.cpp's stalledobs_output_set_last_error(50 ms) infailure racing user Stop. It holds the report open so a concurrentStop()blocks onsignal_mutex, and a thread blocked on a mutex signals nothing. A hook inStop()only for this test would cost more than the window, which can only miss a regression, never fail falsely.Drain, the source's re-arm, the dock-stop worker), likeWaitFor: the OBS binaries have no per-test timeout, so an unbounded wait would wedge the job for its 60-minute limit. Rust waits keep relying on nextest'sterminate-after(60 s), which is whykio::clock::timeout(TIMEOUT, ..)staying dead undercrate::manual()is documented atTIMEOUTrather than replaced.Drainaccepts the narrow race where a completion already in delivery queues after it (a missed regression, never a false failure), instead of observing each target callback's enqueue per site.WriteUntiland writer loops. They pace a publisher while waiting for progress under a timeout, which the settled scope leaves alone.obs-moq-testgets no event for "accept is parked": the only signal is moq-dev/moq#8363's#[cfg(test)] MoqServer::accepting(), andcert_fingerprints()'sBusygoes away there.Alternatives
Shared = kio::Producer<Option<VideoProducer>>, which would make the rendition lock itself observable, but it drops the poisoningMoqVideoProducer::withmaps to a panic error and touches every lock site.Current()fails to reject.Overlaps

No single PR: these tests predate the host-timer guard (moq-dev/moq#8081), which opted them out for this quest to convert.
