Summary

  • Guard the sweeper loop ticker arm with ctx.Err() check — prevents sweepOnce from running after ctx cancellation, avoiding double-increment of the error metric counter (#86)
  • Add done chan struct{} parameter to startSweeperWithInterval — closed exactly once when the loop exits
  • Add StartSweeperForTest test helper returning the done channel so tests drain it after cancel(), guaranteeing goroutine termination before the next test's metricDelta baseline

Root cause

Two cooperating bugs caused the suite-state contamination:

  1. Double-increment on shutdown: loop's ctx.Done() case called sweepOnce before exiting. With cancelled ctx, storage.Sweep returned context.Canceled, incrementing error counter a second time before the loop exited.

  2. Orphaned goroutine: tests called defer cancel() without waiting for the goroutine to return. The goroutine remained blocked on Sweep (waiting for 1-hour ticker), and its eventual return could mutate shared metric counters during the next test's measurement window.

Test plan

  • All 8 sweeper tests pass in isolation and full-suite mode
  • TestStartSweeper_TransientErrorDoesNotCrashLoop — error counter settles to exactly 1
  • TestStartSweeper_RecordsMetricsOnSuccess — error delta = 0 regardless of prior test
  • TestStartSweeper_RecordsMetricsOnError — error delta = 1 regardless of prior test

Issue #86: TestStartSweeper_RecordsMetricsOnSuccess fails in full-suite.

Root cause: two cooperating bugs in the sweeper test harness.

1. Sweeper loop called sweepOnce after ctx cancellation (double-increment).
   When ctx was cancelled the loop's select received ctx.Done(), called
   sweepOnce with the cancelled ctx, storage.Sweep returned context error,
   and metrics.PendingUploadsSweepError() incremented the error counter a
   SECOND time before the loop exited. Subsequent tests captured a polluted
   error baseline and their deltaError assertions failed.

2. Tests called defer cancel() without waiting for the goroutine to exit.
   The goroutine could still be blocked on Sweep (waiting for the next
   ticker's C channel) when the next test called metricDelta(). If the
   goroutine's Sweep returned during the next test's measurement window,
   the shared metric counters mutated mid-baseline.

Fix (production code):
- Guard the ticker arm: if ctx.Err() != nil, continue instead of calling
  sweepOnce. This prevents the post-cancellation sweep from running.

Fix (test harness):
- startSweeperWithInterval gains a done chan struct{} parameter. When the
  loop exits the channel is closed exactly once.
- StartSweeperForTest starts the goroutine and returns the done channel,
  allowing tests to drain it with <-done after cancel() — guaranteeing
  the goroutine has fully terminated before the next test's baseline.

All 8 sweeper tests now use StartSweeperForTest and drain the done
channel before returning, ensuring stable metric baselines across the
full suite.

[core-lead-agent] LGTM. Closes #86. Sweeper test isolation: ctx.Err guard before sweepOnce, done chan for goroutine-exit signaling, StartSweeperForTest helper. 3 files. tier:low.
