Expands the race-condition suite with two new scenario categories that exercise the interval-atom slot lock introduced in #1169 and re-armed in #1170. Until now the suite locked one 30-minute atom per booking, so nothing covered what the interval keys were actually built for: overlap, grid flooring, acquisition ordering, rollback and the shared TTL deadline.

Category 10 — 10-interval-lock-semantics

Test Doctrine it pins Expected outcome
test-overlapping-intervals-contend Overlapping intervals are mutually exclusive. A start-instant key gives 10:00–12:00 and 11:00–11:30 different keys, so both used to reach payment. 1 acquires, 1 conflicts (+1 assertion)
test-unaligned-interval-floors-to-grid slotAtomStarts floors the start to the half-hour grid, so 10:15–10:45 shares the 10:30 atom with 10:30–11:00. 1 acquires, 1 conflicts, contention names the 10:30 atom (+3 assertions)
test-adjacent-intervals-independent Atoms are half-open [start, end), so a booking that ends at 10:30 never keys 10:30. Over-locking is as costly as under-locking. 2 acquire, 0 conflicts, neither waits (+2 assertions)
test-crossed-acquisition-order Ascending acquisition is a total order, so overlapping intervals with different first atoms cannot cycle. Four rounds on four consultants, start order alternating. 4 winners, 4 conflicts, every loser re-acquires after release (+5 assertions)
test-partial-acquisition-rollback Acquisition is all-or-nothing with a reverse rollback: a failed booking must not strand the atoms it already took. Attempt conflicts on the pre-held 11:00 atom; 10:00 / 10:30 / 11:30 verified free and re-bookable (+3 assertions)
test-release-then-reacquire unlockSlotInterval clears every atom — a missed one would blank the slot until its TTL lapsed. All atom keys gone after release, both re-acquisitions succeed without waiting (+3 assertions)
test-multi-atom-ttl-rearm #1170 — sequential acquisition erodes the earliest atoms' TTLs, so every atom is re-armed to one shared deadline once the last lands. Acquisition is forced to stall ~3.5s, then all 8 atoms report a TTL spread of ~0ms and a full fresh budget; contenders on the FIRST and the LAST atom are both refused (+3 assertions)

The re-arm test is the one worth reading closely. It plants a short-lived lock on a middle atom so acquisition genuinely stalls, which is what produces the erosion in the first place. Without the re-arm the first and last atom deadlines would differ by the whole stall; the assertions measure that spread well away from any expiry boundary, so there are no sleeps near a deadline and nothing to go flaky.

Category 11 — 11-load-stress

Test Doctrine it pins Expected outcome
test-single-atom-storm 50 consultees on one slot: whether a loser is refused by the lock or by the check it ran under the lock, it ends as a 409 — never a second booking, never a 500. 1 booking, 49 conflicts, 0 errors, no zombie key (+1 assertion); reports throughput and P95
test-disjoint-atom-parallel-load Atom keys are per-slot, not per-consultant, so one consultant's day stays parallel. This is the guard against "fix double-booking by locking the whole consultant", which passes every correctness test and turns a busy calendar into a queue. 40 bookings, 0 conflicts, wall clock under a generous 10s ceiling (+1 assertion)
test-overlap-heavy-mixed-load 30 requests across 10 one-hour intervals starting every 12 minutes inside a three-hour window, most of them unaligned. Winner count is deliberately not pinned — it is ordering dependent. The assertion is the invariant: no two bookings share a 30-minute atom, derived from slotAtomStarts, plus zero errors (+2 assertions)

Notes

  • Mock-only and CI-runnable. Every test runs under USE_MOCK_REDIS=true with no server, no database and no network, exactly like categories 01–06. Nothing here needs the seeded environment that makes 07 and 09 skip.
  • No runner change needed. discoverTests() reads scenarios/ off disk, so both directories are picked up with no category registration. Verified with --category=10-interval-lock-semantics and --category=11-load-stress.
  • Budget. Category 10 runs in 44s and category 11 in 5s, so the suite grows by roughly 50s against a 20-minute job timeout. The dominant cost is contention: a refused acquisition burns the full five-retry backoff (~7s), which is why the crossed-order rounds run in parallel on separate consultants rather than one after another.
  • Determinism. No test asserts which party wins — only counts and invariants. Intervals are built on a UTC-floored base day so the atom grid lines up regardless of the runner's timezone, and there are no Math.random-seeded expectations.
  • Additive. No existing scenario, utility, runner or production file was touched. Shared primitives live in a new utilities/interval-helpers.ts; structural claims are expressed as result rows so they flow through the existing generateTestReport pass/fail contract, and report artifacts are identical in shape to the sibling categories.

Verified locally: each file exits 0 on its own, npx eslint is clean on all 11 new files, and tsc --noEmit scoped to them is clean.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a3186

This change adds interval-lock semantics and load coverage without altering production behavior. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness that the crossed-acquisition test currently does not exercise both start orders as intended, leaving that specific concurrency scenario less thoroughly validated.

I hop through slots from ten to noon,
And test each lock beneath the moon.
Adjacent atoms stand apart,
While overlaps guard the booking chart.
TTLs rearm, storms calm down—
Reports return with a passing crown.

- Around line 70-78: Update the test setup around attemptIntervalLock so the two
lock attempts are created lazily and invoked in alternating order per round;
reversing an already-started Promise array is insufficient. Also make the
missing status-409 result explicit before deriving loserInterval, rather than
defaulting silently to late.

- Around line 50-54: Update the interval-lock test constants around
MIN_REARMED_TTL_MS to derive the expected minimum from the effective TTL used by
lockSlotInterval, including INTERVAL_RETRY_CONFIG.driftFactor, rather than
hardcoding 28000. Export the effective interval TTL or a focused helper from the
interval-lock implementation and reuse it in the test while preserving the
existing assertion tolerance.

In `@tests/typescript/race-conditions/utilities/interval-helpers.ts`:
- Around line 138-152: Update createBarrier so each arriveAndWait call is
bounded by a timeout, rejecting or otherwise failing promptly when not all
participants arrive; preserve immediate gate resolution when the remaining count
reaches zero and ensure timeout failures provide a useful error instead of
hanging indefinitely.
- Around line 233-242: Update attemptIntervalBooking’s parameter type to omit
barrier and holdMs from IntervalAttempt while retaining the optional writeMs
field, since the function does not use those timing controls. Keep the existing
booking behavior unchanged and ensure its callers satisfy the narrowed contract.

…k layer

Adds two mock-only scenario categories to the race-condition suite, covering
the interval-atom slot lock the booking paths took on in #1169/#1170.

Category 10 pins the semantics: overlapping intervals contend, an unaligned
start floors onto the half-hour grid, adjacent intervals stay independent,
crossed acquisition order cannot deadlock, a partial acquisition rolls every
atom back, a released interval leaves no zombie keys, and a multi-atom
acquisition re-arms all of its atoms to one shared deadline.

Category 11 puts the same layer under load: a single-atom storm, disjoint
slots in parallel to catch accidental serialisation, and an overlap-heavy mix
where the winner count is not deterministic and the invariant (no two bookings
share a 30-minute atom) is the assertion instead.

Everything runs under USE_MOCK_REDIS with no server or database, and the
master runner discovers both directories with no registration change.

… honest types

The crossed-order round built both attempts in an array literal, so both
promises were already running before the reverse — the alternation never
happened and every round ran the same start order. The two sides are now
deferred thunks invoked in the chosen order. A round with no refusal at all
emits a named failed assertion instead of silently probing an arbitrary side.

Worth recording: the winner does not alternate with the start order, because
10:30 is the late side's first atom and the early side's second. That is
structure, not flakiness, and it is why the assertions count winners rather
than naming one.

Also bounds the barrier wait (a participant that never arrives used to hang the
run until the job timeout, saving no report), narrows attemptIntervalBooking to
the fields it actually reads, and clears three SonarCloud smells.

Residual from #1344: an N-parallel-allocations-against-one-slot regression test still does not exist; it belongs in this race-suite expansion.

Verified against dev 0cfb6c555 on 2026-09-05. The allocation engine's own atomicity is settled — the Redis locks are held across the availability read and the commit write (utils/slotAllocation/SlotAllocationService.ts:1153-1656), the slot_no_confirmed_overlap btree_gist EXCLUDE constraint is live (prisma/sql/check-constraints.sql:69), and 23P01 maps to a 409. What is missing is the proof: no test in __tests__/booking-algorithm/ fires N concurrent allocations at one free slot and asserts exactly one booking survives. The nearest existing coverage is tests/typescript/race-conditions/scenarios/07-real-api-booking/test-last-seat-storm.ts, which is a different scenario.
