test(extensions): remove flaky cross-process lifecycle stress test#1324
Conversation
…e stress test The W2 concurrency stress test (swamp-club#254) already tolerates the documented transient state where SQLite contention causes saveAll to roll back the catalog while the lockfile has already been written. However, the tolerance was only applied to the lockfile→catalog direction — the catalog→lockfile version skew check was not guarded by contendedNames. On Windows CI (higher I/O latency), SQLite busy_timeout exhaustion under 4-way concurrent process load is more frequent, causing the catalog to keep the old version while the lockfile already has the new one. The version skew check fired as a hard failure on iteration 26. The fix adds contendedNames guard to the version skew check. The final sequential reconcile pass still asserts strict bijection (no contention possible with a single process), so real bugs are not masked.

…wamp-club#254) The test runs concurrent rm + pull for the same extension, but the asymmetric ordering (install: FS→lockfile→catalog vs rm: catalog→lockfile→FS) makes transient catalog↔lockfile inconsistencies inevitable under concurrency. Patching invariant tolerances is whack-a-mole — each CI run surfaces a different interleaving failure. The unit-level FaultingStubRepository tests already pin the per-service rollback semantics; this cross-process composition test adds cost without reliable signal.

Code Review
Pure deletion of a flaky 954-line cross-process stress test. The rationale is sound: the asymmetric ordering (install: FS→lockfile→catalog vs rm: catalog→lockfile→FS) makes transient catalog↔lockfile inconsistencies inevitable under concurrency, and each Windows CI run surfaces a different interleaving failure. Patching invariant tolerances is whack-a-mole.
Verified that the unit-level coverage the PR claims exists:
src/libswamp/extensions/install_extension_service_test.ts— 4 tests includingFaultingStubRepository-basedsaveAllfault/rollback coveragesrc/libswamp/extensions/remove_extension_service_test.ts— 5 tests covering remove rollback semantics
No blocking issues.
Suggestions
- Stale design doc reference —
design/extension.md:1014still says the cross-process composition claim is "verified byintegration/lifecycle_concurrent_stress_test.ts". With the test removed, this paragraph should be updated (e.g., note that cross-process atomicity is tested at the unit level viaFaultingStubRepositoryfaults, and the stress test was removed due to inherent non-determinism under concurrent rm+pull).
