test(common/countdown): cut the countdown test time from 38s to 1.4s - #3002
common/countdown spent 38.0s of make test waiting on its own countdowns, which made it the suite's third slowest package. Every wait was set to a human-scale value, but the tests only need the mid-flight Reset to re-arm the timer and the stop to land before the first callback; both land well inside the 500ms period on the normal path, so the durations drop to 500ms/200ms. The two reset floor checks and the after-stop check compare a callback stamp with a reset or a stop, so each is gated on that landing being before the lower bound of the previous deadline: a starved runner skips the check with a log line instead of blaming the timer. Four of the tests end up under the 4s line, so they lose their -short carve-out. Test-only: no production file changes.
Summary

TestCountdownShouldBeAbleToStop 4.00s → 1.35s # stop 4s → 100ms, 2.5-interval no-callback window

Stable under -race -count=10 (14.6s), -race -cpu=1 -count=20 (28.1s), -race -parallel=1 -count=5 (24.8s), -short -count=5, -race -short -count=5, taskset -c 0-3 -race -count=10 (18.1s) on a 4 vCPU slice, and 5 runs with every core busy by spinners. Each callback stamps itself when it runs; the two reset floors fail on an early arrival and the stop test also fails on a post-stop callback. The two await sites and the teardown are bounded at 4x the interval, so load can delay a callback but leaves three intervals of slack before the wait gives up, and the after-stop window is two and a half intervals, so a re-arm that fires within two intervals of the stop lands inside it. The teardown is bounded at the same value, so a timer loop that wedges fails the test instead of hanging it; the stop test now uses the same bounded path, so a wedge there fails in 2s instead of at the suite timeout. That bound cannot tell a wedged loop from a starved runner, so the failure reports both. The two checks that compare a callback stamp with a reset or a stop also require that reset or stop to land before the lower bound of the previous deadline, so a starved runner skips that check instead of blaming the timer.
A quit branch that re-arms after being stopped is caught while the re-arm fires inside the window: at 1.2x the interval it fails 10/10 plain and 10/10 under -race, and at 1.5x 10/10 plain. At 2x the old two-interval window was a coin flip — 8/20 plain and 0/10 under -race, the mode the CI race lane runs — and the two-and-a-half-interval window makes it 10/10 in both. A re-arm longer than the window fires after the test has returned and is not observed. Widening the window costs the stop case 0.60s → 1.35s and the package 1.2s → 1.35s; the parallel reset subtests (1.2s) are no longer the longest.

Merge Danger
Door: two-way
One test file; reverting restores the old durations and the gates, with no state to migrate.
Blast Radius: local
Only common/countdown's own tests move: -short for the package grows 0.35s, and the race job already ran them, since it uses the full suite; only quick-test gains the coverage. Nothing else imports them, and countdown.go / exp_duration.go are untouched.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Tests
Improved countdown test reliability with bounded waits and 500 ms intervals, reducing the chance of tests hanging indefinitely.
Expanded coverage for callback delivery, reset timing, initialization after callbacks return successfully or with an error, and stopping timers.
Added bounded checks for callbacks after stopping and for timer shutdown and cleanup, with timing-sensitive checks adjusted when deadlines may already have passed.
Tests now run in parallel without short-mode skips.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Countdown tests replace skipped and unbounded checks with parallel tests, bounded waits, and timestamp assertions for callback, reset, stop, and deadlock behavior.
Changes: Countdown test coverage
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Callback and reset tests common/countdown/countdown_test.go
Shared helpers bound callback waits and timer stops. Callback and reset cases check timing for callbacks that return nil or an error.
Stop and deadlock tests common/countdown/countdown_test.go
The stop test checks initialization state and callback timestamps after stopping. The deadlock test bounds callback waits and cleanup.
This change speeds up the countdown tests and has no production impact. Under a heavily loaded CI runner, the bounded waits could still cause an occasional spurious test failure. Callbacks may also leak goroutines after a failed test. Owners should be aware of these, but they should not block merge.

- Around line 183-187: Update the timeout callback and cleanup in the countdown
tests so callbacks cannot enter Reset after stopping, accounting for StopTimer
not waiting for callback goroutines; make sends to the capacity-one called
channel non-blocking to prevent later timeout callbacks from blocking. Preserve
the existing timer-reset behavior while ensuring cleanup safely coordinates with
callbacks.
- Around line 102-106: Update the mid-flight Reset test around the `called`
channel so a delayed test goroutine cannot mistake the original countdown firing
during the setup window for a reset failure. Use controlled time or otherwise
distinguish expiration before Reset from firing after Reset, while retaining the
assertion that the reset countdown does not fire early.

🟡 Changes recommended
The tests weaken coverage for shortened reset intervals and leave deferred timer cleanup unbounded, allowing a rearming regression to hang rather than fail within the timeout.
This test-only PR speeds up coverage of the countdown timer used by XDPoS v2, reducing reported package runtime from 38 seconds to about 1.2 seconds without changing production behavior.
Changes:
Shortens timer durations and runs tests and reset subtests in parallel.
Adds bounded callback waits, timer cleanup, and a no-callback check after stopping.
Removes short-mode skips so the faster tests also run in make quick-test.

The countdown tests contain timing races where callbacks launched before reset or stop can execute afterward, causing false failures despite correct timer behavior.

Five timer tests here waited on 5s timers and a 4s stop timer, so `make
test` spent 38s on nothing but sleep in this package: the third slowest in
the full run. Nothing in the tests depends on their absolute size: the
normal path only needs the mid-flight Reset to land before the timeout and
the stop to land before the first callback. A runner starved past either
point is visible in the timestamps, so the affected check is skipped with
a log line instead of blaming the timer. The durations drop to 500ms /
200ms / 100ms, the four tests run in parallel, and the two reset tests
became one table test.
The assertions no longer compare `time.Now()` against an exact deadline:
each callback stamps itself when it runs, and every wait is bounded at 4x
the interval. The three callback tests stop their timer on the way out
through stopCountdown; the stop test stops it mid-test through the same
bounded path. The stop test used to call StopTimer directly, so a wedged
timer loop held the package until the go test timeout (200.1s measured
with -timeout 200s; make test's ci.go default is 45m); stopCountdown now
returns the instant StopTimer returned, stamped in its goroutine, and the
stop test uses that instant as its baseline. The bound cannot tell a
wedged loop from a starved runner, so the failure message names both.
The after-stop check runs only while the stop completes before the lower
bound of the first deadline, and its window is two and a half intervals: a
rearm that fires within two intervals of the stop lands inside it and fails
here, while a rearm longer than the window fires after the test has
returned and is not observed. A 2x rearm was a coin flip at two intervals
(8/20 plain) and invisible under -race (0/10); the extra half interval
makes both 10/10.
All four cost under 4s, the line XinFinOrg#2947 draws for a -short carve-out, so
they lose their testshort.Skip calls and start running in -short, which is
what `make quick-test` uses. Since XinFinOrg#2912 the CI race job has run the full
suite, so it already covered them; -short for this package went from 1.0s
to 1.4s.
Same mutation after: the stop test fails in 2.1s, the package in 3s.
Deleting setInitilised(false) still fails in 0.10s, return -> continue
in 0.50s, and moving the callback out of its goroutine in 2.00s.
