test(git): keep work pending across wakes in the window model, and save through a Git outage - #476
Stage 3 of concurrent commit windows: the reference
model now tests the failure boundaries it never reached while it pushed at once after every wake.
Stage 2 shipped with no flag, so this is the release gate: release PR #475 (0.56.0) waits for this.
The gate: work retained across wakes
The model (internal/git/window_model_test.go) no longer resets lastPushAt before every wake, and no
longer asserts that nothing is pending after one. It keeps its own pending writes and follows the
worker's publication rules:
a decided write is committed at the end of the wake that decided it, unless it needs a connection
while a failed attempt waits for its retry (a resync during an outage); while it waits, every proof
is unknown, so windows stay serial;
the push cooldown spaces pushes after the last one that landed; a save, an apply's flush and the
first push go at once;
a failed push keeps every write and schedules the retry, 10s doubling to 5m; a push that lands, or
no pending write left, ends the outage;
an apply waits for its flush to be published; a pending resync holds the applier (the barrier) and
ends the flush.
Checked after every step, besides what stage 1 and 2 checked: the pending writes in order (resync or
not, the save each carries, committed or not), each one's charge, the total retained charge, and all
four timers (commit, attach, push, retry).
New inputs, profiles and reach floors
A Git outage that starts and ends (injectOutage: push, fetch and sync fail while down).
A restart mid-run: shutdown, then a new worker on an empty checkout, possibly during an outage
(what the last push could not publish is lost, and its saves fail).
A timer overdue while an input is handled first, as run's select may.
A late applier write over a newer edit, inside the apply window: withheld, and a Repair asked for.
A push from outside that moves one author's document into another's file under their open windows
(restructure), so a reproof finds the windows overlapping.
Three profiles: wide, concurrent (authors keep to their own files), outage (short clock steps).
Sixteen reach floors, asserted at the CI size: shutdown, flush and push hint with several windows
open, attach_next beside another window, a reproof overlap, path_conflict, a failed push, the
cooldown and a retry wait with several windows open, a deferred commit, a replay with a window open,
buffer pressure with several windows open, an apply waiting for the retry, a restart, an overdue
timer, a withheld applier write.
CI runs 20 seeds × 60 steps (was 6 × 40): about 16 s for the test locally.
Seams
maybeSchedulePush and pushPending read BranchWorker.now(), and the loop records pushTimerAt,
as it does commitTimerAt, so a test that steps the clock delivers the push timer's wake. The retry
was already on the worker clock.
injectOutage (write_gate_test.go) switches push, fetch and sync faults on and off per step.
What the model found
No fault of the worker. Every disagreement on the way was the model's, each a rule it never met while
it pushed at once: a pending resync holds every applier back and ends the flush; a resync's edits are
the newest writes of their objects; a save that changes nothing commits nothing (so no bootstrap
files); a push that lands makes the base trusted again; an object added from outside at its built-in
path joins any document a restructuring left there.
Mutation check
Each rule broken in the worker, one at a time, against the CI-size run plus the new unit tests; all
twelve fail it: a save pushes at once; the backoff doubles; nothing pushes before the retry; a flush
pushes at once; the cooldown runs from the last push that landed; the outage ends when no write is
left; a commit that needs a connection waits for the retry; a proof needs the checkout to hold every
decided write; an attach skips a window it closed; a pending write is charged an item's overhead; the
retry timer is armed; the push timer is armed.
Two guards no random input reaches are pinned by unit tests instead: TestPublicationRetry_AnOutageEndsWhenItsWritesSettleWithoutAPush and TestWindowAdmission_AWindowAnAttachClosedTakesNoRequest (the !isOpen guard in attachWaitingCommitRequests: a request waits only while its author has no window to take, so a
second window with a request waiting for it never comes up in one pass).
The footprint revision's generation and resets each have a test that fails without them: TestWindowAdmission_AGitTargetChangeProvesTheOpenWindowsAgain and TestWindowAdmission_AResetProvesTheOpenWindowsAgain.
e2e
test/e2e/concurrent_authors_outage_e2e_test.go (label concurrent-authors-outage): alice and bob
work and save while the GitProvider's credential is bad, so every push and fetch is refused; nothing
lands and neither save ends; once the credential is back, the retry publishes both, one commit each,
with no further edit. Locally it passes with the flagship concurrent-authors spec (2 of 180 specs,
140 s), and the full local suite passes: 117 of 180 specs run (the default filter), 117 passed.
Validation
On today's main (after #471-#473): task lint clean; task test green (unit coverage 82.7%, at the
baseline). Earlier, on the #470 head: the local e2e run above and model sweeps of
400 seeds × 80 steps (32,000 steps) pass, with every reach floor met dozens of times or more.
Decisions taken while you were away (conservative, easy to undo)
The outage in e2e is a broken credential rather than Gitea going down: Gitea is shared by every
spec, and taking it down would need the spec to be Serial and would break the port-forward.
Model limits, recorded in docs/TODO.md: no push from outside while a resync waits for its retry
(its fetch would discard the resync); one-field objects only, so a withheld record is one value;
late applier writes are sent inside the apply window (the window runs on the wall clock).
The footprint-index measurement moved from the release list to "Branch worker and CommitRequests":
it gates widening the proven layouts, not this release.
maybeSchedulePush and pushPending read BranchWorker.now(), and the loop records pushTimerAt as it does commitTimerAt, so a test that steps the clock delivers the push timer's wake. injectOutage switches push, fetch and sync faults on and off per step. holdPushes starts the cooldown an hour ahead on the worker clock, so a test that steps the clock still holds.

The model no longer pushes at once after every wake. It keeps its own pending writes and follows the worker's publication rules (cooldown, failed push and backoff, deferred commits, the apply flush and the resync barrier), checks the pending writes, their charge and all four timers after every step, adds outage, restart, overdue-timer, stale-applier and restructure steps, three profiles and sixteen reach floors, and runs 20 seeds of 60 steps in CI.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The changes make push cooldown timing use the worker clock, expand the reference model for pending writes and retries, and add unit and end-to-end coverage for outages and concurrent author windows. Documentation records the completed stage and remaining model coverage tasks.
Push cooldown calculations and deadlines now use the worker clock. The test helper and clock documentation reflect this timing.
Reference-model write and publication state internal/git/window_model_test.go
The model tracks pending writes, footprint proofs, saves, and publication state. It models commit, resync, retry, cooldown, flush, and shutdown behavior.
Randomized model exploration and checks internal/git/window_model_test.go, docs/design/concurrent-author-windows.md, docs/TODO.md
Randomized runs exercise timers, outages, restarts, applies, and external file changes. Assertions compare worker and model state; documentation records coverage and remaining tasks.
Retry and window-admission tests internal/git/retry_test.go, internal/git/window_admission_test.go, internal/git/write_gate_test.go
Tests cover resync retries and footprint revalidation. Test support can simulate Git push, fetch, and sync failures.
Concurrent-author outage end-to-end test test/e2e/concurrent_authors_outage_e2e_test.go, docs/TODO.md
The test checks that two saves remain pending while Git operations are refused, then commit after access is restored.
ConfigButler/gitops-reverser#469: Changes commit-window admission and footprint fallback, which this PR further tests and models.
ConfigButler/gitops-reverser#456: Changes apply-window handling that this PR models through late applier writes and flush barriers.
Merge Risk: Low · up to b6261
This change adds test coverage and design documentation for concurrent commit windows during Git outages, plus a small clock change for push cooldowns. Production behavior is not expected to change. Two documentation statements are inconsistent with the updated stage status and the retry timing, and should be corrected, but they do not block merge.

Read the resync result without blocking, so a missing reply fails the seed.
<-req.Result blocks until the worker sends a result. The comment says the caller "hears at once". If the worker skips its reply in that wake, the model run does not fail with the seed and trace. It hangs until the go test timeout. Result has a buffer of 1, and the reply is expected inside the wake. A select with a default branch keeps the same check and turns a missing reply into a normal failf.

Qualify the immediate-push rule.
A save or apply flush bypasses the cooldown, but it does not bypass an outstanding retry. windowModel.maybePush returns while the retry is waiting. State that exception so the outage timing is clear. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

… for built concurrent windows (#478)
* test(e2e): three concurrent authors and a path conflict, each saved by a CommitRequest
Two specs join the concurrent-authors flagship. Three people hold three windows at once
(git_commit_windows_open reads 3), save in the reverse of the order they started, and Git's history
is that close order; carol's commit lands while the other two windows stay open, and alice writes
again after it. Then bob edits a Deployment in alice's open window: her window closes first
(path_conflict), her commit lands first with her copy, and Git ends with bob's.

* docs: concurrent commit windows are built; say how they are proven
The design page states stage 3 as done (the outage e2e passed in CI on #476), maps the reference
model, the admission tests and the four e2e specs to what each proves, settles three open questions
the build answered, and states its costs in the present. architecture.md, configuration.md and the
commit-window spec no longer speak of one open window; the CommitRequest flow diagram had two nodes
under one id. The release gate in TODO.md is closed.

What this is
Stage 3 of concurrent commit windows: the reference
model now tests the failure boundaries it never reached while it pushed at once after every wake.
Stage 2 shipped with no flag, so this is the release gate: release PR #475 (0.56.0) waits for this.
The gate: work retained across wakes
The model (
internal/git/window_model_test.go) no longer resetslastPushAtbefore every wake, and nolonger asserts that nothing is pending after one. It keeps its own pending writes and follows the
worker's publication rules:
while a failed attempt waits for its retry (a resync during an outage); while it waits, every proof
is unknown, so windows stay serial;
first push go at once;
no pending write left, ends the outage;
ends the flush.
Checked after every step, besides what stage 1 and 2 checked: the pending writes in order (resync or
not, the save each carries, committed or not), each one's charge, the total retained charge, and all
four timers (commit, attach, push, retry).
New inputs, profiles and reach floors
injectOutage: push, fetch and sync fail while down).(what the last push could not publish is lost, and its saves fail).
run's select may.(
restructure), so a reproof finds the windows overlapping.open,
attach_nextbeside another window, a reproof overlap,path_conflict, a failed push, thecooldown and a retry wait with several windows open, a deferred commit, a replay with a window open,
buffer pressure with several windows open, an apply waiting for the retry, a restart, an overdue
timer, a withheld applier write.
CI runs 20 seeds × 60 steps (was 6 × 40): about 16 s for the test locally.
Seams
maybeSchedulePushandpushPendingreadBranchWorker.now(), and the loop recordspushTimerAt,as it does
commitTimerAt, so a test that steps the clock delivers the push timer's wake. The retrywas already on the worker clock.
injectOutage(write_gate_test.go) switches push, fetch and sync faults on and off per step.What the model found
No fault of the worker. Every disagreement on the way was the model's, each a rule it never met while
it pushed at once: a pending resync holds every applier back and ends the flush; a resync's edits are
the newest writes of their objects; a save that changes nothing commits nothing (so no bootstrap
files); a push that lands makes the base trusted again; an object added from outside at its built-in
path joins any document a restructuring left there.
Mutation check
Each rule broken in the worker, one at a time, against the CI-size run plus the new unit tests; all
twelve fail it: a save pushes at once; the backoff doubles; nothing pushes before the retry; a flush
pushes at once; the cooldown runs from the last push that landed; the outage ends when no write is
left; a commit that needs a connection waits for the retry; a proof needs the checkout to hold every
decided write; an attach skips a window it closed; a pending write is charged an item's overhead; the
retry timer is armed; the push timer is armed.
Two guards no random input reaches are pinned by unit tests instead:
TestPublicationRetry_AnOutageEndsWhenItsWritesSettleWithoutAPushandTestWindowAdmission_AWindowAnAttachClosedTakesNoRequest(the!isOpenguard inattachWaitingCommitRequests: a request waits only while its author has no window to take, so asecond window with a request waiting for it never comes up in one pass).
The footprint revision's generation and resets each have a test that fails without them:
TestWindowAdmission_AGitTargetChangeProvesTheOpenWindowsAgainandTestWindowAdmission_AResetProvesTheOpenWindowsAgain.e2e
test/e2e/concurrent_authors_outage_e2e_test.go(labelconcurrent-authors-outage): alice and bobwork and save while the GitProvider's credential is bad, so every push and fetch is refused; nothing
lands and neither save ends; once the credential is back, the retry publishes both, one commit each,
with no further edit. Locally it passes with the flagship
concurrent-authorsspec (2 of 180 specs,140 s), and the full local suite passes: 117 of 180 specs run (the default filter), 117 passed.
Validation

main(after #471-#473):task lintclean;task testgreen (unit coverage 82.7%, at thebaseline). Earlier, on the #470 head: the local e2e run above and model sweeps of
400 seeds × 80 steps (32,000 steps) pass, with every reach floor met dozens of times or more.
