test(mech): a dropped view is asked about by a marker it holds, not by its address - #114
Conversation
…y its address `held::tests::a_view_is_unmapped_unless_the_session_takes_it` asked VirtualQuery whether anything was mapped at the address of a view it had just dropped. The tests of the chrono-mech binary map memory in parallel, so memory another test took there made the question answer "mapped" - red in the Gates job of #112 and in two parts of each full mutation run on #113, with no mutation applied. The test now writes a random, never zero marker into each view and reads it back through ReadProcessMemory on its own process, which fails instead of faulting when the page is gone, and only from a committed mapped view. Before the question about the dropped view it maps a new view at the same address, so the case CI ran into happens in every run. Going back to a question about the address is red in 50 of 50 runs of the test alone and in 10 of 10 runs of the whole library, the fixed test green in 100 of 100 and 20 of 20. A guard failing in `a_target_dropped_before_it_runs_is_ended` no longer leaves a suspended ping behind. Six registry entries for held.rs, which had none: the view never unmapped, the view handed to the session unmapped anyway, the target left suspended, the guard left armed after the hand-over, any view at the address taken for ours, and a question that sees nothing. All six caught. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Full details: Tests For Changed Behavior
-
Explanation
PASS: The pull request changes only test code in
crates/mech/src/held.rsafter#[cfg(test)]and adds mutation-test registry entries. It does not change non-UI runtime behavior. Existing tests are not deleted or skipped, and their assertions are not weakened; the view test adds marker-based positive and negative checks, while the process test preserves the exit-code assertion and adds failure cleanup.

Explanation
PASS: The pull request changes only Rust test code in
crates/mech/src/held.rsand mutation metadata intests/mutation/entries.json. It does not add or change XAML, Slint, Fyne, Tkinter, WPF, or other GUI code.
Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems
-
Explanation
No clear performance problem is introduced. The changes are limited to Windows test code and mutation metadata. They add a bounded number of
MapViewOfFileEx,VirtualQuery, andReadProcessMemorycalls for a few test views, plus existing process-wait cleanup. No UI-thread work, large collection processing, per-item expensive calls, or polling loop is added.
Full details: Desktop Robustness
-
Explanation
The PR changes only
crates/mech/src/held.rstest code and mutation-test metadata. The changed code is inside#[cfg(test)]and uses local Windows mapping/process APIs to verify cleanup. It does not add working-directory asset loading, settings/data persistence, culture-sensitive parsing, user-facing long operations, confirmation-sensitive actions, window-lifetime background work, admin requests, or user-facing network calls.
Full details: Safe File Parsing
-
Explanation
No unsafe file parsing is introduced. The Rust diff only adds Windows memory APIs (
VirtualQuery,ReadProcessMemory,MapViewOfFileEx) for test memory checks. The six newtests/mutation/entries.jsonobjects contain fixed relative paths tocrates/mech/src/held.rsand fixed string replacements; they do not parse external files, execute content, deserialize arbitrary types, or write formula-bearing files. The existing registry reader is unchanged.
Full details: System Changes Are Reversible
-
Explanation
PASS — The PR changes only Windows test code and mutation metadata. It creates temporary test processes and memory mappings, then terminates or unmaps them. It does not add or change network rules, proxy/firewall settings, system time, process hooking/injection, Windows services, registry, or drivers.
Full details: Clear User-Facing Text
-
Explanation
PASS — The pull request changes Windows test code and mutation-registry entries only. The added strings are test assertion diagnostics, comments, and mutation names; no user-facing control, icon, error, confirmation, or product terminology is changed.
Full details: No Resource Leaks
-
Explanation
PASS. The pull request changes only Windows test code and mutation metadata. The new test closes a failed
CreateFileMappingWmapping handle, relies onControlViewto unmap views and close mapping handles, explicitly releases the handed-off view and handle, and usesSuspendedTargetto terminate and close process handles. No long-lived application resource path changes or unbounded accumulation were introduced.
Full details: Scope, Duplication And Docs
-
Explanation
The PR changes only
crates/mech/src/held.rstests and six matching mutation entries intests/mutation/entries.json. The marker-based view checks, same-address replacement mapping, and cleanup on wait timeout are all described in the title and PR description. The diff adds no public API, CLI, configuration, persisted format, build requirement, or user-facing behavior. Repository searches found no existing duplicate helpers or equivalent patterns, so no README or CHANGELOG update is required.

- Line 231: Update the replacement-view logic around `page_view` to retry with a
fresh marked view for a bounded number of attempts, and fail the test if none
maps at the released `address`. Only proceed to the hold and marker checks after
a successful same-address replacement.

…w's place in one of sixteen tries, or the test is red When a test running beside this one took the released address first, the view meant for that address could not be made and the run went on without it, so in that run the question never met a view in the dropped one's place. The test now drops a new marked view and tries again, up to 16 times, and is red when no try gets the address. It still asks about the dropped view in every try, so a view that is never unmapped is red on the first try with "the view outlived its guard". Measured: with no view ever put in the place, the test is red with the new message, and green once the new assertion is taken out as well. A seventh registry entry holds that case. All seven r5-a6 entries caught, the test green in 100 of 100 runs alone and in 20 of 20 runs of the whole library. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
What was wrong
held::tests::a_view_is_unmapped_unless_the_session_takes_it(crates/mech/src/held.rs) dropped aControlViewand then askedVirtualQuerywhether anything was mapped at the view's address. The 129 tests of the chrono-mech binary run in parallel and map memory and start processes, so memory another test took at that address after the drop made the question answer "mapped". Red with no change of its own:443ea8165a75eb(run38973054629, bothBASELINE REDentries name this test atheld.rs:191)Locally it was green 40 of 40, so the weekly mutation run (first one from cron on Friday 2026-10-23, red at anything but
caughtorNOT HERE) would have been red for no reason.What changes
The question is put to the view, not to the address:
holds(address, marker)reads only from a committedMEM_MAPPEDregion, throughReadProcessMemoryon this process, which checks the whole range before it copies and fails instead of faultingMapViewOfFileEx(succeeds only when the region is free), so the case CI ran into happens in every run instead of by chancea_target_dropped_before_it_runs_is_endednow ends the target through its own handle when the guard fails, so a red run leaves no suspendedPING.EXEbehind.Registry

Overstated for the registry: an entry runs the test with an exact filter, so no other test competes for the address (the||entry was red 50 of 50). Fixed as suggested, with one change: the test drops a new marked view and tries again, up to 16 times (PLACE_TRIES), and is red with "no try in 16 put a new view in a dropped one's place" when none gets the address. It still asks about the dropped view in every try before it decides to try again, so a view that is never unmapped stays red on the first try with "the view outlived its guard" (checked by hand), not after sixteen.r5-a6 no new view is ever put in a dropped view's place, holds it.r5-a6entries caught, the test green in 100 of 100 runs alone and 20 of 20 runs of the whole library,tools/gates.ps1 -Changed10 of 10 (Rust 1075, C# 875, harness 229 of 229 on x64 and x86), noPING.EXEleft.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
