test(cursor): state the T04 heartbeat-only contract on the injectable clock - #5169
Conversation
… clock The heartbeat-only case was the last T04 assertion that still contained a term for elapsed real time. It kept a real 40ms interval writing liveness frames and required no decoded-frame gap longer than the silence budget for the whole heartbeat-only window, so a runner that paused longer than one budget made the SILENCE watchdog win while both watchdogs behaved correctly. #3940 had already scaled that budget once; scaling it again only lengthens the exposure. Move the case onto the streamHealthClock seam #5131 added, advancing virtual time by hand between liveness frames whose arrival it awaits. Production budgets (30s silence, 90s heartbeat-only), the first-frame timer and the outbound heartbeat are untouched, and the silence watchdog's real-timer firing case is unchanged.

…can state Adversarial review of the previous commit found two gaps it had left. The min(silence, progress) rule was not red-capable anywhere. A watchdog that read only the progress deadline would relax production silence detection from 30s to 90s, and every real-timer case would stay green: a later deadline still produces the same no-inbound-frames message inside the case timeout. Add a virtual-clock case that requires the turn to fail at exactly S with nothing left armed, which that mutation fails immediately. Moving the heartbeat-only case onto the seam also removed the only coverage of the progress branch firing through the production default clock, which structure/providers/cursor.md claimed was still there. Restore it with a real-timer case whose silence budget is two orders of magnitude beyond its progress budget, so load can make it later but never wrong, and correct the document to say which half of the contract lives where and why.
…prefix Third review round. Widening the manual clock from one case to three made its unbounded drain loop worth fixing: a watchdog that re-armed an already expired deadline would schedule a zero-delay timer forever, and because advanceTo is synchronous, Bun's per-test timeout could never interrupt it. That mutation would wedge the lane instead of reddening one case, so the loop now throws after 1000 callbacks and names the cause. Also assert the shared Cursor stream stalled prefix, which no case pinned, and correct the real-timer comment: ordinary load delays that case, and a pause long enough to also cross the 60s silence budget has already blown the case's own 15s limit, which is why its outcome cannot change rather than merely being unlikely to.

Summary
The T04 heartbeat-only case was the last stream-health assertion that still contained a term for elapsed real time, so a loaded runner could turn it red while the watchdog was behaving correctly. Auditing that also turned up a rule the suite never pinned at all.
The case asserts that liveness-only traffic survives the silence threshold and then fails at the longer heartbeat-only threshold. It demonstrated the first half with a real
setIntervalwriting a heartbeat and a checkpoint frame every 40ms, which required that no decoded-frame gap exceed the silence budget for the whole heartbeat-only window. On CIisolationBudgetMsfloors that budget at 5s, so the case demanded 10 consecutive seconds during which the synthetic server, sharing one Bun process with the rest of the suite, never fell 5s behind. When it did, the silence watchdog won and the failure readno inbound frames: a correct watchdog reporting a real in-process stall, against a contract that never meant to measure the machine.That case now runs on the
streamHealthClockseam #5131 added for its sibling, advancing virtual time by hand between liveness frames whose arrival it awaits. Timers fire only fromadvanceTo, so contention can delay a frame without any deadline passing. The first text frame stamps both clocks at virtual 0, liveness pairs land at 900 and 1800 just under each recomputed silence deadline, and 2S can only be the progress deadline, so the failure isheartbeat-only traffic for 2s without turn progressevery time.Two further changes came out of adversarial review of that diff:
min(silence, progress)rule was red-capable nowhere. A watchdog that read onlylastMeaningfulFrameAt + heartbeatOnlyMswould relax production silence detection from 30s to 90s, and every real-timer case would stay green, because a later deadline still produces the sameno inbound framesmessage inside the case timeout. A new virtual-clock case requires the turn to fail at exactly S with nothing left armed, which that mutation fails immediately.structure/providers/cursor.mdasserted was still present. A new real-timer case restores it with a silence budget two orders of magnitude beyond its progress budget, so a runner pause can make it later but never wrong. The document now says which half of the contract lives where, and why themin()half cannot live on real timers.Raising a budget was the alternative and it is not a fix: #3940 already scaled this one, and a larger floor lengthens the window during which no pause may exceed one budget. No timeout was raised, no retry added, and nothing is skipped by platform.
Deliberately unchanged:
CURSOR_STREAM_SILENCE_FAIL_MS(30s),CURSOR_STREAM_HEARTBEAT_ONLY_FAIL_MS(90s), the first-frame timer, the turnEnded close grace, the client-tool finalize grace and the outbound heartbeat interval. The seam already existed and still defaults toDate.nowand the global timers in production.Closes #5168
Verification
No local suite, focused test file, typecheck, build, install or
ocxinvocation was run for this change, by explicit instruction for this lane. Execution proof must come from exact-head hosted CI on this PR.Static verification performed instead, and independently re-checked by five reviews of the diff:
src/adapters/cursor/live-transport.ts: thedatahandler appends to the backlog,drainPendingFramesconsumes Connect frames and appends each to the serializedframeWorkchain, so frames decode in wire order without the consumer pulling.noteInboundFrameruns beforehandleServerMessage, so the re-armed timer is already observable when a frame's outward message reaches the consumer. That is the synchronisation fix(cursor): state the T04 re-arming contract on an injectable clock #5131 documented, reused here.mapCursorProtobufServerMessagereturns no events forconversationCheckpointUpdateandisCursorProgressFrameis true for it, so a checkpoint yields exactly one outwardheartbeat. A bareinteractionUpdateheartbeat frame has no case in the mapper and is not a progress frame, so it yields nothing. Awaiting the checkpoint's message therefore proves both frames decoded.armStreamHealthTimer: text at 0 stamps both clocks; at 900 the pending deadline is 1000 and nothing fires; the liveness pair moveslastInboundFrameAtto 900 so the deadline becomes min(1900, 2000); at 1800 nothing fires and it becomes min(2800, 2000);advanceTo(2000)fires withstalledFor200 andmeaningfulStalledFor2000, so the re-arm guard does not hold andheartbeatOnlyis true.armedAfterDeadlineat 1 and the case then crosses 1800 + S so it reports which watchdog won instead of hanging; droppingmin()leaves a timer armed at S and fails fast; collapsing the two reason strings fails the message assertion; a watchdog that never fires leavesfailureundefined.no inbound frames, the new progress case keeps a real 600ms progress budget, and the first-frame case is untouched.tests/providers/cursor/cursor-stream-health.test.tshas no entry intests/fixtures/file-size-baseline.jsonand at 479 lines stays far below the 2000-line new-file threshold inscripts/file-size-ratchet.ts. No test file was added or moved, soscripts/test-layout/layout.jsonandtests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.jsonare unchanged.isolationBudgetMsis no longer imported here; it stays exported and in use bytests/lab/lab-fabric-task.test.ts.Known limitation, recorded rather than papered over: a mutation that conditioned production re-arming on the presence of
streamHealthClockwould pass, because the invariant it breaks — liveness frames refreshing the silence clock — can only be stated as "a deadline did not expire", which is the exact assertion shape this PR removes from real timers. Such a mutation would have to branch production behaviour on a test seam to exist.Reviewed mutations
live-transport.tsarmedAfterDeadlineand the messageCursor stream stalledprefix is removedturnEndedTwo adjacent gaps were found and deliberately left out of scope, because both predate this PR and belong to different invariants: the production 30s and 90s defaults are pinned by no test, since every T04 case supplies both budgets explicitly, and the "no watchdog before the first frame" case would still pass if T04 were armed at dial time, because the first-frame timeout produces the expected message either way. Neither is introduced or worsened here.
