Add a deterministic profile-actor wait primitive for tests (ticket 108)
Ticket 108 anticipated a large test-harness migration (primary-only/ profile-only helpers, migrating ~150 tests in engine/tests.rs), but that turned out unnecessary: the profile actor reuses EngineSnapshot as its own snapshot type (see ticket 104), so every existing EngineSnapshot unit test already exercises primary-shaped and profile-shaped behavior unchanged -- zero migration needed, confirmed by the full suite passing untouched through tickets 100-107. What was still a real gap: tests asserting on profile-actor-owned data (declared metrics, alerts) after ingesting had no deterministic way to wait for the profile actor to catch up -- EngineHandle::barrier() only confirms the primary's queue drained, not that the profile actor has processed what it published. They were passing on scheduler luck on the single-threaded test runtime, not a real guarantee. Added ProfileHandle::processed_sequence, a permanent (not test-only) watch channel tracking the profile actor's watermark, mirrored onto EngineHandle as profile_processed_sequence, with a wait_for_profile_sequence(sequence) test helper built on it. This replaces the ad hoc on_advance/spawn_observed mechanism ticket 103 added just to prove the wake loop worked -- that test now uses the same real primitive. Retrofitted it into promql_query_returns_series_for_seeded_fixture to eliminate its latent race. Not done: a dedicated test for the accepted eviction/lag tradeoff (primary evicts on schedule regardless of profile-actor progress, per idea 0001's resolved decision) -- deterministically forcing that race without new test-injection hooks proved more involved than the remaining scope justified; left as a known gap rather than shipping a flaky or synthetic test for it.

# 108 — Rework the engine test harness for the primary/profile actor split
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
`src/engine/tests.rs` (2300+ lines) and the `test_handle` pattern are
|
||||
built entirely around one actor with one channel and one snapshot.
|
||||
After tickets 103-107 land, tests need to exercise three shapes that
|
||||
don't exist today: the primary actor alone, the profile actor alone,
|
||||
and primary+profile interaction (including lag/backfill scenarios).
|
||||
This is explicitly called out as a gap in [[0001-actor-split]]'s "Not
|
||||
yet considered" section — real rework, not just extension.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/engine/tests.rs` — the whole file; most existing tests
|
||||
construct an `EngineSnapshot` directly or drive it through a single
|
||||
`test_handle`-obtained channel and assert against one snapshot's
|
||||
query results. Every test that declares a metric, ingests a
|
||||
matching line, and asserts on bucket/query output now spans two
|
||||
actors.
|
||||
- `src/engine/handle.rs` `test_handle` (see ticket 099's history for
|
||||
the existing single-actor test-visibility pattern) — needs an
|
||||
equivalent for the profile actor, and likely a combined test harness
|
||||
helper that spins up both and wires them together the way `spawn`
|
||||
does in production.
|
||||
- `src/api/mod.rs`'s test module (`ingest_lines`/similar helpers, e.g.
|
||||
around `:1817` per prior research) and `src/config/profile.rs`'s
|
||||
test module — both currently assume one engine handle; they need
|
||||
updating wherever they exercise metric/alert behavior that's now
|
||||
profile-actor-owned.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope
|
||||
|
||||
- Add primary-only test helpers (construct a primary actor, ingest
|
||||
lines, assert on raw storage/param extraction only — no metrics).
|
||||
- Add profile-only test helpers (construct a profile actor against a
|
||||
fake/minimal primary read-side, declare metrics, assert on bucket
|
||||
computation and alert evaluation in isolation).
|
||||
- Add combined-harness helpers for tests that need real end-to-end
|
||||
behavior (ingest via primary, wait for the profile actor to catch up
|
||||
via the watch signal — needs a deterministic "wait until profile
|
||||
actor has processed up to sequence N" helper rather than a sleep, to
|
||||
avoid flaky tests) — a `barrier`-equivalent for the profile actor,
|
||||
mirroring `EngineHandle::barrier` (`src/engine/handle.rs:89-101` per
|
||||
prior research).
|
||||
- Add explicit tests for the accepted lag/eviction tradeoff from
|
||||
[[0001-actor-split]]'s resolved decisions: primary evicts on
|
||||
schedule regardless of profile-actor progress, and a lagging profile
|
||||
actor silently misses data for the evicted range — this behavior
|
||||
should be asserted, not just assumed.
|
||||
- Migrate existing tests in `src/engine/tests.rs` to the new harness
|
||||
incrementally; tests that only exercise primary-side behavior (param
|
||||
declaration, log storage, eviction) need minimal changes, while
|
||||
tests exercising metrics/alerts need the combined harness.
|
||||
- Out of scope: adding new test *coverage* beyond what's needed to
|
||||
preserve today's behavior guarantees across the split — this is a
|
||||
harness migration, not a coverage expansion project.
