transaction_phase.rs

1//! What:
2//!  Test-only transaction phase markers for crash and interleaving suites.
3//!  An explicit environment variable arms one marker:
4//!  `CLI_GIT_TEST_ONLY_PHASE_SIGNAL=<phase>:kill` ends the process with `SIGKILL` at the phase,
5//!  `<phase>:kill:<directory>` writes `<directory>/<phase>.reached` first,
6//!  and `<phase>:pause:<directory>` writes that marker and waits until `<directory>/<phase>.release` exists.
7//!  A repeatable phase numbers its files by occurrence: `<phase>-<n>.reached`.
8//! Why:
9//!  Crash suites need a deterministic point to kill the wrapper.
10//!  The marker is compiled into the release executable, but only the explicit variable arms it,
11//!  and a malformed value fails the invocation at every phase it reaches instead of being ignored
12//!  (`src/policy-engine/commit-transaction-test-phase.ts`).
13//!
14//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
15//! ```ts
16//! await reachTransactionPhase({ phase: 'ref-updated' });
17//! ```

20use super::diagnostic_log::warn;
21/// Strict JSON string quoting for the refusal message, as `JSON.stringify` writes it.
22use serde_json::to_string as json_string;
