msd-core/tests/perf-316-state-lock-buffer-alloc.test.cjs

/**
 * Regression test for perf #316 — acquireStateLock allocates a fresh
 * SharedArrayBuffer on every retry iteration.
 *
 * The fix: hoist the sleep buffer allocation to once before the retry loop.
 * The buffer is never mutated and never escapes — Atomics.wait(buf,0,0,delay)
 * always sees 0 whether the buffer is fresh or reused, so the behavior is
 * identical.
 *
 * Observable invariant (POST-FIX): exactly ONE SharedArrayBuffer is allocated
 * per acquireStateLock call, regardless of retry count.
 *
 * RED (pre-fix):  sabCount >= 2 when >= 1 retry occurs.
 * GREEN (post-fix): sabCount === 1.
 *
 * Strategy: two Worker threads run in parallel.
 *   Worker A (lock holder): writes the lock file with the current process pid,
 *     sleeps 400ms via Atomics.wait, then removes the lock.
 *   Worker B (writer): installs a counting SharedArrayBuffer stub, then calls
 *     writeStateMd — which calls acquireStateLock and retries until A releases.
 *     Reports sabCount via postMessage.
 *
 * Using Worker threads (not child processes) avoids the node --test subprocess-
 * detection hang that occurs with spawn() inside a test runner worker context.
 *
 * Total test wall-time: ~400-600ms.
