feat(entity,testing)!: the subscribe fixture drives a whole sync node, and its five tests run - #231
Conversation
…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`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.

The third name reads as X_TEST_FIXTURE_UNAVAILABLE, which is a different error in this same file (Line 20).

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.

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:
- Cleanup is not total.
packages/http/CLAUDE.mdrequires 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. - The array reads as though teardown handles them. A reviewer, or an agent, sees
connections.pushand 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.
+ try {
+ for (const connection of connections) connection.close();
+ } finally {
+ replicator.stop();
+ await node.stop();
+ }

🎯 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
unknownplus 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 isundefined— 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.

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.
As per coding guidelines: "Test names | the filename picks the step; testName(type, name) on the outer describe puts that type on every failure line under it. Never on the inner test too — the prefix would print twice."

🌐 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.
🔒 Restore instead of clear

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.

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/realtimecalls "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. AndLiveTargetwas{ 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/entitygainssetRowObserverCommitted row changes, reported above the driver, so memory and Postgres report the same thing.
@ultimat3/db'ssetStatementObserver.bun testshares one process, so an inner harness restores rather than clearsdatabase(), not by a driverbeforeonly when the primary key isidfindByIdcannot name a row, and anidcolumn that is not the key reads a different row than the write touched.nullis what logical replication reports withoutREPLICA IDENTITY FULLonBulk, never silencedeleteWhere/updateWherename a filter, not rows; reading the matches first would turn one statement into two and change what the code under test issuesNot a second change-feed path:

x dev --role syncassembles, minus the listener — realLiveQueryRegistry, realliveQueryDefinitionbridge, 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()answersundefined, 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 isuseMutation/useMutationQueueand 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.
liveFeedorders bycreatedAt;SUMMARY_COLUMNSdoes not carrycreatedAt; socompareRows(event.row, current, shape.orderBy)measures a realDateagainstundefinedandmovedis true for every change to every row. One update becomesremove+insert, and the re-inserted row is the raw entity row — sobodyreaches 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.
