Closes #9's remaining half — the one I re-scoped as "a design project, not a wiring gap". It was, and building it found a framework defect: #230.

Why the five tests could not run

Two things were missing. Neither was a registration.

1. There was no change SOURCE in a test process. Production decodes the write-ahead log. PGlite has no walsender and the memory driver has no log at all — so InMemoryChangeFeed, which @ultimat3/realtime calls "the blessed development and test feed", had nothing upstream of it. A live query with no changes flowing into it is a snapshot, and a snapshot is not what these tests assert.

2. Nothing subscribable to hand it. The tests called subscribe(liveFeed.as(actor, input)), which resolves to a row array. And LiveTarget was { name, queryHash } — a shape that cannot be subscribed to either: a node keys a subscription by (name, input), and a hash is the input already thrown away. The declared type described an API that could not work.

@ultimat3/entity gains setRowObserver

Committed row changes, reported above the driver, so memory and Postgres report the same thing.

Rule Why
One observer per process, returning what it replaced exactly @ultimat3/db's setStatementObserver. bun test shares one process, so an inner harness restores rather than clears
Applied by database(), not by a driver an app opts in by installing an observer, never by choosing a different repository — the rows under test stay the rows the app reads
With none installed: one comparison per write the guard is the first line of every method, not a flag read at wrap time (axiom 6)
before only when the primary key is id on a composite key findById cannot name a row, and an id column that is not the key reads a different row than the write touched. null is what logical replication reports without REPLICA IDENTITY FULL
A filtered write is onBulk, never silence deleteWhere/updateWhere name a filter, not rows; reading the matches first would turn one statement into two and change what the code under test issues

Not a second change-feed path: selectChangeFeed still decides what a real node reads, and this is never in that decision.

@ultimat3/testing gains a whole sync node

What x dev --role sync assembles, minus the listener — real LiveQueryRegistry, real liveQueryDefinition bridge, real per-subscriber authz, real cursor. The socket is two objects handing each other the same JSON a WebSocket would. The WAL decoder is the only thing substituted.

Rows are accumulated from the frames the subscriber received, through realtime's own applyPatches — so a row its gate dropped is absent here for the same reason it would be absent in a browser. A feed that reached into the server's window would prove the query works and say nothing about delivery, which is the half these tests are about.

feed.local() answers undefined, deliberately. This driver holds no client store, no offline queue and no rebase log; a twin reported as applied whether or not a mutator ran is coverage that reads as proof, which is worse than none. That half is useMutation/useMutationQueue and the offline e2e, and the test file says so where the fifth test used to be.

Two things it found that neither issue predicted

A lone subscriber cannot resume from its own reconnect. The retained window is the registry's entry, and the entry is dropped when its last subscriber goes — so it re-snapshots, correctly. A resume needs another subscriber holding it open, which is what a browser actually reconnects into. Both halves are asserted, in the framework suite and in the app's.

#230 — a live query whose projection omits an ordering column reports every change as a move. liveFeed orders by createdAt; SUMMARY_COLUMNS does not carry createdAt; so compareRows(event.row, current, shape.orderBy) measures a real Date against undefined and moved is true for every change to every row. One update becomes remove + insert, and the re-inserted row is the raw entity row — so body reaches subscribers the projection deliberately excluded it from.

Filed rather than fixed here. Each of the three candidate fixes changes what every live subscriber receives, and that deserves its own change with its own proof. The test asserts the behaviour as it is, with the mechanism written out, so it cannot regress silently in either direction.

BREAKING

  • Subscribe is (target, input, actor?) — was (target)
  • LiveTarget is { name } — was { name, queryHash }
  • LiveFeed gains reconnect()
  • DRIVER_FIXTURE_NAMES no longer contains subscribe; FRAMEWORK_FIXTURE_NAMES does

Every one is a type nothing could implement before, because the fixture had no driver — but they are exported, so semver applies.

Verification

  • bun run verify — 14 of 18, 4 skipped at the framework root.
  • bun run scripts/reference-app-gate.ts — green, and examples/dummy:live is unpinned: 4 red, all pinned, down from 5. dummy/social-media-clone went 15/18 → 16/18.
  • Mutation-checked: removing observedRepo from database() reds the two patch-delivery tests, and nothing else.
  • New codes: X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_EMPTY, X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_UPGRADE_REFUSED. Both in wiki/Error-Codes.md and the regenerated manifest.

One thing I deleted rather than guessed

LiveNodeOptions.onMutate — I forwarded it before checking MutationHandler's shape ({ socket, name, key, seq, input }, actor read off the socket). Nothing here needs it, and a forwarded option no caller passes is a declaration nothing reads, which is what 4.0.0 spent a major deleting. It arrives with its first caller, in that caller's shape.

…d read a fix out of a table

Closes #97 — both halves, and each one closes a hole the other could not.

## The 3-line format could gain a fourth line, and the gate could never see it

`bun run error-render` refuses a parameter typed `unknown`/`any` reaching a `cause:`. A value
already typed `string` cannot throw on render, so the check has nothing to object to — while a
newline in one writes a second line an operator, a CI log or the dev overlay's `<pre>` reads as a
genuine framework message. Three holes shipped in `@ultimat3/auth` under a green check, the worst
reachable by an unauthenticated stranger with one crafted OIDC token.

The first fix escaped at each of the six RENDERERS. That could not hold: six is a number that only
goes up, `format()` is not the only reader (an uncaught throw prints `.message`, a log line takes
`.cause`, `--json` takes `toJSON()`), and it covered none of the renderers an APP writes.

So the escape moves into `UltimateError`'s and `SchemaError`'s CONSTRUCTORS — `code`, `title`,
`cause`, `fix`, `docs`. That is the option #97 itself called the real answer, and it is one place
instead of every place. `format()` now interpolates the fields bare: a second pass would be a
second place that has to be right. `singleLine` is idempotent, so `@ultimat3/auth`'s
`renderCauseValue` at the source is unharmed and stays — it also QUOTES, which is what makes a
forged `iss` legible as a value rather than as prose.

The four renderers that still call `singleLine` take shapes this class never built — a `Finding`,
a catalog entry — which is the one case left.

## A `fix:` read out of a table was dropped without even being counted

`fix: SQLSTATE_FIXES[code]` holds no literal at its own depth, so `valueLiterals` answered `[]`
and the site vanished — it did not reach the `unreadable` counter that exists to make a blind spot
visible. `@ultimat3/db`'s six SQLSTATE fixes were hand-verified in a pin test for that reason, and
nothing would have caught a seventh.

`scanFixSites` now resolves a lookup one hop to a table this file declares — `TABLE[k]`, `TABLE.k`,
through an `Object.freeze` wrapper, and through the `.replace(…)` `driverError` chains onto it.
Same-file and one hop, deliberately: a chain or a second file is where a text scan starts guessing.
A SCREAMING_SNAKE head that resolves to nothing is counted instead; `init.fix` is not, because a
parameter's property is read wherever that parameter was filled and counting it would make the
coverage line describe re-passes rather than holes.

**Measured over the tree: 921 → 950 fix lines read, `unreadable` unchanged at 33.**

## It found one, immediately

`packages/realtime/src/pg-wire.ts` answered SQLSTATE `42704` with `x db replication init`. There is
no such command — `x db` takes gen, migrate, reset, seed, studio, branch, backfill. A `fix:` that
is a no-op is the failure axiom 4 exists to prevent, and it had never been read by any rule.

Now the `CREATE PUBLICATION` an operator can paste. The publication NAME is a copy of
`DEFAULT_REPLICATION_PUBLICATION` — `pg-wire.ts` cannot import `changefeed-env.ts` without closing
`changefeed-env -> changefeed -> pg-replication -> pg-wire` into a cycle, and a test can, so
`pg-wire.test.ts` pins it. The gate cannot check a name; it can now check the line.

## Verification

- Every new test mutation-checked: reverting the constructor escape reds 6, reverting the table
  resolution drops the `42704` finding.
- `bun run verify`: 14 of 18 passed, 4 skipped at the framework root (drift, contract-diff,
  budgets, seo).

`wiki/Known-Gaps.md` moves the row from Open to Closed with the workaround for anyone on 4.1.0.

…, and its five tests run

Closes #9's remaining half. `examples/dummy`'s five live tests had never run, in CI or locally,
and getting them to run found a framework defect (#230).

## Why they could not run, and it was not a wiring gap

Two things were missing, and neither was a registration.

**A change SOURCE.** Production decodes the write-ahead log; PGlite has no walsender and the memory
driver has no log at all, so `InMemoryChangeFeed` — which `@ultimat3/realtime` calls "the blessed
development and test feed" — had nothing upstream of it. A live query with no changes flowing into
it is a snapshot, and a snapshot is not what those tests assert.

`@ultimat3/entity` gains `setRowObserver`: committed row changes, reported ABOVE the driver so
memory and Postgres report the same thing. One observer per process, exactly like `@ultimat3/db`'s
`setStatementObserver`, handing back what it replaced so a nested harness restores rather than
clears. With none installed it is one comparison per write. `before` is read only when the primary
key IS `id` — on a composite key `findById` cannot name a row, and an `id` column that is not the
key would read a DIFFERENT row than the write touched; `null` there is what logical replication
reports without `REPLICA IDENTITY FULL`. A filtered write is `onBulk`, never silence.

**A subscribable target.** The tests called `subscribe(liveFeed.as(actor, input))`, which resolves
to a ROW ARRAY. `LiveTarget` was `{ name, queryHash }` — a shape that cannot be subscribed to
either, because a node keys a subscription by `(name, input)` and a hash is the input already
thrown away. It is now the query itself, and the call is `subscribe(query, input, actor)`.

## What the driver is

A whole `sync` node in this process — what `x dev --role sync` assembles minus the listener: the
real `LiveQueryRegistry`, the real `liveQueryDefinition` bridge, the real per-subscriber authz, the
real cursor. The socket is two objects handing each other the JSON a WebSocket would. Rows are
accumulated from the frames the subscriber RECEIVED, through realtime's own `applyPatches`, so a
row its gate dropped is absent for the same reason it would be absent in a browser.

`feed.local()` answers `undefined`, deliberately: this driver holds no client store, and a twin
reported as applied whether or not a mutator ran is coverage that reads as proof.

## What it found

Two facts neither issue predicted, both now pinned:

- **A lone subscriber cannot resume from its own reconnect.** The retained window is the registry's
  ENTRY, dropped when its last subscriber goes — so it re-snapshots, correctly. A resume needs
  another subscriber holding the entry open. Both halves are asserted.
- **#230**: `liveFeed` orders by `createdAt`, `SUMMARY_COLUMNS` omits `createdAt`, so
  `compareRows` measures a real `Date` against `undefined` and reports EVERY change as a move.
  One update becomes remove + insert, and the re-inserted row is the raw entity row — so `body`
  reaches subscribers the projection deliberately excluded it from. Filed rather than fixed blind:
  each candidate changes what every live subscriber receives.

## BREAKING

- `Subscribe` is `(target, input, actor?)`, was `(target)`.
- `LiveTarget` is `{ name }`, was `{ name, queryHash }`.
- `LiveFeed` gains `reconnect()`.
- `DRIVER_FIXTURE_NAMES` no longer contains `subscribe`; `FRAMEWORK_FIXTURE_NAMES` does.

Every one of them is a type nothing could implement before, because the fixture had no driver.

## Verification

- `bun run verify`: 14 of 18, 4 skipped at the framework root.
- `bun run scripts/reference-app-gate.ts`: green. `examples/dummy:live` is UNPINNED — 4 red, all
  pinned, down from 5. `dummy/social-media-clone` went 15/18 to 16/18.
- Mutation-checked: removing `observedRepo` from `database()` reds the two patch-delivery tests.

New codes: `X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_EMPTY`, `X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_UPGRADE_REFUSED`.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds an in-process live-query test harness. Entity repositories report committed changes to a replicator, which delivers protocol frames through an in-memory sync node. The framework now owns subscribe, and tests cover snapshots, patches, permissions, tenant isolation, and reconnect behavior.

Changes

Live subscription fixture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Entity row observation
packages/entity/src/row-observer.ts, packages/entity/src/database.ts, packages/entity/src/index.ts, packages/entity/src/row-observer.test.ts
Adds process-global row observation for inserts, updates, deletes, upserts, and filtered bulk writes. Repository operations remain unchanged in their returned results.
Live node and replication runtime
packages/testing/src/live-node.ts, packages/testing/src/live-replicator.ts, packages/testing/src/errors.ts, packages/testing/src/live-node.test.ts, packages/testing/src/live-replicator.test.ts
Adds an in-memory sync node, WebSocket-like transport, row-change replicator, ordered registry delivery, settlement, cleanup, and live-node errors.
Subscribe fixture and framework registration
packages/testing/src/fixture-drivers.ts, packages/testing/src/fixture-subscribe.ts, packages/testing/src/framework-fixtures.ts, packages/testing/src/index.ts
Changes subscribe to accept query, input, and actor. Feeds now expose reconnect, resume-cursor, and snapshot-count state. Framework registration creates the in-process driver.
Live behavior coverage
packages/testing/src/fixture-subscribe.test.ts, examples/dummy/apps/web/app/posts/live.live.test.ts, packages/testing/src/framework-fixtures.test.ts
Tests snapshots, patches, tenant isolation, policy filtering, retained-window replay, lone-subscriber resnapshots, and empty registries. Dummy live tests use the typed API and remove offline-client coverage.
Supporting configuration and documentation
packages/testing/package.json, packages/testing/tsconfig.json, framework.manifest.json, wiki/Error-Codes.md, packages/testing/CLAUDE.md, examples/dummy/CLAUDE.md, scripts/lib/gated-apps.ts
Adds query and realtime project dependencies, documents the in-process fixture, registers new error codes, updates the build identifier, and removes the live expected-red gate.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c390c

This change adds a process-wide subscription test harness and row-change observation, but the current implementation can leak test connections, contaminate later tests through observer state, return before queued updates are fully delivered, and mishandle malformed subscription failures. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and cleanup issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

CI's `package (testing)` job caught what `bun run verify` does not run: `scripts/coverage-gate.ts`,
a separate job with a 95% bar. The three new modules took the package to 93.69% functions.

Three gaps, each a real behaviour rather than a line to touch:

- **`PipeWs` when the wire is cut.** A dropped connection is a socket that still exists and
  delivers nothing, so `sent` keeps the node's own record while nothing arrives — the half that
  makes a loss observable at all. Plus `getBufferedAmount()` answering zero, because backpressure
  is a real socket's and an invented one fails a test no production node would.
- **A fanout that throws.** One failed lane must not silence every change behind it, and a
  rejection with nobody left to hand it to ends the Bun process — so the chain reports and
  continues. Asserted with a registry that fails the first delivery and answers the second.
- **A subscriber the policy denies.** A refusal arrives as an `ack` carrying an error, never as a
  dead socket; `subscribe` rethrows it so a denial cannot be confused with an empty window.

Plus: stopping the replicator restores the observer it replaced, which is what keeps one test file
from taking another's.

`bun run scripts/coverage-gate.ts --package testing` and `--package entity` both green.

In `@examples/dummy/apps/web/app/posts/live.live.test.ts`:
- Around line 46-51: Update the nearby docblock describing the projection/order
defect to identify it as issue `#230`, specifically in the explanation
accompanying the delete + insert assertion. Keep the existing explanation and
test behavior unchanged.

In `@packages/testing/src/errors.ts`:
- Around line 176-195: Update LiveNodeUpgradeRefusedError in
packages/testing/src/errors.ts (lines 176-195) so its fix text is a runnable
refusal-reproduction command naming the accept budget, connection ceiling, and
ready() causes; update the corresponding Fix entry for
X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_UPGRADE_REFUSED in wiki/Error-Codes.md (lines 562-563) to the
same corrected text.
- Around line 162-174: Rename the liveNodeUnavailable factory to liveNodeEmpty
so it matches the X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_EMPTY code and LiveNodeEmptyError class, and
update the sole caller in the live-node flow to use the new name.

In `@packages/testing/src/fixture-subscribe.ts`:
- Line 65: Update the fixture teardown in stop() to close every LiveConnection
tracked in connections before or alongside stopping the replicator and node.
Make cleanup total by attempting each connection independently so an exception
from one close() does not prevent the remaining connections or node resources
from being cleaned up.
- Around line 122-152: Memoize the result of state() using the current
frames.length as the cache key so repeated rows(), row(), patches(), lsn(),
snapshots(), and resubscribedFrom() calls reuse one replayed result and preserve
patches array identity. Invalidate the cached state when reconnect() updates
marks, since resumedFrom can change without adding frames.
- Around line 169-198: Update reconnect() so its name and documentation
accurately describe the existing drop-and-add subscription behavior as
resubscribe(), or instead make it perform a true socket reconnect using
LiveConnection.cut() followed by node.connect(actor). Ensure the chosen
implementation matches the documented client behavior, including fresh
connection state when testing reconnects.
- Around line 105-111: Validate the ack error payload in the refusal handling
near the frames lookup instead of casting it directly, requiring string code,
cause, and fix fields before constructing UltimateError. If validation fails,
throw the package-defined X_LIVE_ACK_UNREADABLE error naming the unreadable
frame; register that code in errors.ts and document it in Error-Codes.md.

In `@packages/testing/src/framework-fixtures.ts`:
- Around line 56-59: Restore the row observer after each fixture or suite: in
packages/testing/src/framework-fixtures.ts lines 56-59, update the
createSubscribeDriver-backed subscribe fixture to return a value preserving the
driver's stop() through Symbol.asyncDispose so fixtureTest invokes
replicator.stop() and restores the prior observer; in
packages/testing/src/live-replicator.test.ts lines 26-29, snapshot the observer
before the suite and restore it afterward instead of calling
setRowObserver(null).

In `@packages/testing/src/live-node.test.ts`:
- Line 9: Wrap the outer describe for PipeWs with testName('unit', …), matching
the pattern used by fixture-subscribe.test.ts; apply this only to the outer
describe and do not add testName to inner tests.

In `@packages/testing/src/live-node.ts`:
- Around line 222-231: Update the settled function’s setImmediate usage to
import setImmediate explicitly from node:timers, preserving the existing
rationale comment and event-loop waiting behavior.

In `@packages/testing/src/live-replicator.test.ts`:
- Around line 26-29: Update the live-replicator test cleanup to snapshot the
process-global row observer before tests and restore that snapshot in afterAll,
rather than calling setRowObserver(null) in afterEach; add the required afterAll
import and keep clearRegistry cleanup unchanged.

In `@packages/testing/src/live-replicator.ts`:
- Around line 126-133: Replace the fixed eight-turn microtask drain in settled
with a counted barrier that tracks outstanding write/change propagation work.
Update the relevant observedRepo or driver callbacks to register pending work
before it begins and release it after the change is enqueued and its associated
promises settle; have settled await tail and the barrier reaching zero. Preserve
the existing behavior of waiting for changes observed during settlement.

Name the factory after the code it throws.

The code is X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_EMPTY and the class is LiveNodeEmptyError, but the factory is liveNodeUnavailable(). The third name reads as X_TEST_FIXTURE_UNAVAILABLE, which is a different error in this same file (Line 20). Rename the factory to liveNodeEmpty() so one condition has one name across code, class, and factory.

The only caller is packages/testing/src/live-node.ts Line 147.

♻️ Proposed rename
-export const liveNodeUnavailable = (): UltimateError => new LiveNodeEmptyError();
+export const liveNodeEmpty = (): UltimateError => new LiveNodeEmptyError();

Then in packages/testing/src/live-node.ts:

-import { liveNodeUnavailable, upgradeRefused } from './errors';
+import { liveNodeEmpty, upgradeRefused } from './errors';
...
-  if (live === 0) throw liveNodeUnavailable();
+  if (live === 0) throw liveNodeEmpty();

One non-runnable fix: for X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_UPGRADE_REFUSED, stated in two places. The fix: text is prose rather than a command, and it tells the caller to await node.start() and use /_x/sync — both of which createLiveNode already does (packages/testing/src/live-node.ts Lines 165 and 187). The wiki repeats the same text verbatim, so the same fact drifts in two files.

  • packages/testing/src/errors.ts#L176-L195: replace the fix: string with a runnable command that reproduces the refusal, and name the real causes (accept budget, connection ceiling, ready()).
  • wiki/Error-Codes.md#L562-L563: update the Fix column for X_TEST_LIVE_NODE_UPGRADE_REFUSED to the corrected text, so the wiki and the error object state one fact.

As per path instructions: "Errors are instructions — every throw carries a stable X_* code, a cause, and an exact fix command. … So is a fix line that is not runnable." Also: "Define once, project everywhere — a fact stated in two places will drift."

connections is written and never read. stop() leaks every socket the test opened.

Line 65 declares the array, Line 74 pushes to it, and nothing else touches it. stop() at Lines 209-212 stops the replicator and the node; it never calls connection.close(). LiveConnection exposes close() and cut() for this.

Two problems, one cause:

  1. Cleanup is not total. packages/http/CLAUDE.md requires that "cleanup/drain paths are total". A test with three subscribers leaves three open sockets and their frame buffers held by the node until the process ends.
  2. The array reads as though teardown handles them. A reviewer, or an agent, sees connections.push and concludes the lifetime is managed. It is not.

Close them in stop(), and make it total — one connection that throws on close must not skip the rest or the node.

🔒 Total teardown
     stop: async () => {
-      replicator.stop();
-      await node.stop();
+      // Every close attempted before the node goes, and the first failure is what the caller sees:
+      // a socket left open holds the node's frame buffer for the rest of the process.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The refusal is rethrown from an unvalidated wire object. A malformed error produces an UltimateError with undefined fix.

Line 109 casts refusal['error'] to { code: string; cause: string; fix: string } with no check. Line 110 feeds those three fields straight into UltimateError. Two rules apply:

  • Repository guidelines: do not cast an unknown value; use unknown plus a schema parse.
  • Axiom 4, errors are instructions: "every throw carries a stable X_* code, a cause, and an exact fix command." Here all three are whatever arrived on the wire. If the ack's error omits fix, this throws an error whose fix line is undefined — the failure an agent cannot act on, which is the case worth blocking.

Parse the three fields. If any is missing, throw this package's own coded error naming the frame, so the failure says "the node sent an error I could not read" rather than presenting a broken one as the node's.

🛡️ Parse before rethrowing
+/**
+ * The three fields a refusal must carry. Parsed rather than cast: an `UltimateError` built from a
+ * partial wire object has an unrunnable `fix:`, which is worse than saying the frame was unreadable.

Add testName('unit', …) to the outer describe.

fixture-subscribe.test.ts in this same change wraps its outer describe with testName('unit', …); this file does not. The wrapper puts the test type on every failure line beneath it, which is what makes a failure readable without opening the file. Apply it to the outer describe only.

🌐 Web query:

Does Bun 1.3 support importing setImmediate from node:timers?

💡 Result:

Yes, Bun 1.3 supports importing setImmediate from the node:timers module [1][2][3]. Bun provides a fully implemented 'node:timers' module that includes setImmediate, along with other timer functions like setTimeout and setInterval [4][3]. While these functions are also available as globals in Bun, they are explicitly provided through the 'node:timers' module for Node.js compatibility [3][5]. Additionally, if you require promise-based behavior, Bun supports importing setImmediate from 'node:timers/promises' [6][7]. Top results: [1][4][3][6][7]

This afterEach clears the process row observer unconditionally — the exact failure the file under test forbids.

packages/testing guidelines state: "Registry hygiene | the fixture registry is process-global; a test that clears it snapshots with fixtureSnapshot() and hands it back in afterAll." The row observer is process-global for the same reason, and live-replicator.ts Lines 136-138 spells out the rule: "Restored, never cleared: one process runs every test file, and an outer harness's observer must survive an inner fixture finishing."

Line 27 breaks that rule inside the suite that proves it. If any outer harness or preload has an observer installed when this file runs, this afterEach removes it for every later file.

Snapshot it once and hand it back.

The 8-turn microtask drain in settled() is a timing-dependent wait. Replace it with a counted barrier.

packages/testing path instructions state: "No retry/flake tolerance anywhere. Flag any retry, sleep, or timing-dependent wait." for (let turn = 0; turn < 8; turn += 1) await Promise.resolve() is that wait. It is not a timer, so it is deterministic for today's call depth — and that is the problem. The constant 8 encodes how many awaits currently sit between a write resolving and onChange running. Add one await anywhere in observedRepo or the driver, and settled() returns before the change is enqueued. The test then passes for the wrong reason, or flakes.

Make the barrier count what it is waiting for instead of guessing a depth.
