test(daemon): fix the render-thread liveness waits that flaked on CI - #198
Conversation
Two defects, one class: waits that raced the state they awaited. The release-sleep test waited for exactly one watch notification after flipping the power state, but a normal frame already in flight can land ahead of the cleared publication, so the single wait resolved on a still-populated frame and the assertions read stale state. It now waits for the cleared STATE with a deadline, matching what the test actually pins. This is the failure that killed six PR first-runs and, today, started failing reruns too. The shared wait helpers used hard 2-second deadlines, which bound latency on an unloaded machine rather than liveness: any loaded runner (cold-cache CI Windows, parallel local suites) blew through them. All liveness waits now share a 10-second WAIT_DEADLINE, and the two predicate helpers check the already-latched value before waiting for a fresh publication, so a quiescent channel whose state already matches cannot hang them. The elapsed-time assertion in wait_for_render_loop_frame_number and the deliberate may-timeout drain keep their 2-second bounds; those two measure time on purpose. Verified: release_sleep and keeps_latest_wins 30/30 each under a concurrent workspace build (previously 3 consecutive CI failures and 3/3 local failures respectively). The deferred-sampling sibling still fails under heavy load for a different reason (its predicate awaits a TRANSIENT frame that watch latest-wins can absorb); that design issue stays on the flake sidequest.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The test changes broaden liveness waits and predicate handling, but one timeout path can lose the last observed frame and the release-sleep check can accept a pre-existing blank canvas without proving a post-release publication. These are bounded test-correctness gaps; the PR is mergeable with owner follow-up to tighten diagnostics and assertion sequencing. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

require a canvas publication after power_tx.send_replace before accepting a

Require a post-release canvas publication
The initial assertion checks only frame_rx. The canvas may already be black before power_tx.send_replace. Assert that the initial canvas is non-blank, or require a later canvas publication before accepting the blank state.

The test has failed on CI runners in a way that never reproduces locally, timing out with the cleared publication never arriving. A bare timeout message cannot distinguish "the clear was swallowed" from "publications stopped entirely", so the wait loops now count observed changes and report the last frame number, zone count, and lit-pixel count at timeout. The next CI failure names the mechanism instead of the silhouette. Co-Authored-By: Nova (Claude Fable 5) <noreply@anthropic.com>

💜 What
The render-thread suite's liveness waits raced the state they awaited, and today the odds caught up with the merge queue: the release-sleep test failed three consecutive Windows CI runs across two PRs, including a rerun, ending its "always green on rerun" streak.
Two fixes, one class. The release-sleep test flipped the power state and then waited for exactly one watch notification per channel — but a normal frame already in flight can land ahead of the cleared publication, so the single wait resolved on a still-populated frame and the final assertions read stale state. It now waits until the observed state is actually cleared, bounded by a deadline. Separately, every shared wait helper used a hard 2-second deadline, which bounds latency on an unloaded machine rather than liveness; loaded runners (cold-cache Windows CI, parallel local suites) blew through it. All liveness waits now share a 10-second
WAIT_DEADLINE, and the two predicate helpers check the already-latched value before waiting for a fresh publication.The two waits that measure time on purpose — the elapsed-time assertion in
wait_for_render_loop_frame_numberand the deliberate may-timeout drain — keep their 2-second bounds.🧪 Verification
The two previously-failing tests ran 30/30 green each under a concurrent workspace build (previously: 3 consecutive CI failures for release-sleep, 3/3 local failures for keeps-latest-wins). Full suite green serially. One sibling (
deferred_sampling) still fails under heavy load for a distinct reason — its predicate awaits a transient frame that watch latest-wins semantics can absorb — and that design issue is tracked on the existing flake sidequest, with the evidence updated.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
