Summary

The whole pack-preparation budget now runs on one monotonic clock (performance.now) instead of Date.now, so a system clock correction mid-prepare can neither extend nor prematurely exhaust the prepareTimeoutMs budget. Existing responsibilities are preserved: prepareTimeoutMs still covers one whole prepare, requestTimeoutMs still ends with each HTTP body, the #191 decoder still owns its own deadline, and user-cancel / dispose / deadline causes stay distinct.

Time base and boundaries

  • Start: once per prepare call, deadlineAt = monotonicNow() + prepareTimeoutMs; never restarted when staging moves to the next archive.
  • End: the abort timer, the per-archive gates, and the final acceptance gate all read the same monotonic clock; display-style timestamps are the only thing that would ever touch Date.now() (none exist in the budget path).
  • The decoder receives only the unspent remainder, floored to its integer deadline contract after the spent check — rounding can never mint budget (fractional 0.4 ms becomes 0, never 1).
  • No new archive request or decode starts once the clock says the budget is spent, and a decode that resolves after the budget is spent does not earn staging handles, even while the abort timer's callback is still queued.
  • loader.acquire's image-preparation time stays a separate API, as before.
  • Documented guarantee: elapsed-time enforcement plus result acceptance — not real-time termination of already-running work (README and the module header now say so).

Verification

  • pnpm check (incl. validate:public) green; phaser-assets suites 316/316 green; the examples/asset-packs browser cancellation/deadline suite passes (one rerun: a known load-dependent Playwright waitForFunction flake on this machine, unrelated to the change — no fake clock in that suite and both clocks advance identically in real time).
  • New tests (delivery.test.ts) use a manual monotonic clock spy plus gated downloads and a step-driven worker — no fixed sleeps or multi-tick guessing:
    • forward wall-clock jump (+1 h) mid-download: prepare still succeeds and the decoder receives the full unspent budget;
    • backward wall-clock jump: the budget still expires exactly on the monotonic clock;
    • dependency archives share one budget: after the first archive consumes 6 s of a 10 s budget, the second decode starts with 4 s;
    • download time reduces the decoder budget exactly (5 s spent → 5 s decode deadline);
    • budget spent before decode: zero decode posts, deadline failure;
    • successful decode landing after the budget is spent: no success handles, staging unwound;
    • existing cancel/dispose classification and files-only no-op tests unchanged and passing.

Changeset

.sampo/changesets/delivery-monotonic-deadline.md — @mpgd/phaser-assets patch (runtime behavior change).

No worker protocol, codec, retry, scheduler, cache or delivery refactor changes; no game repositories touched.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Pack preparation deadlines now use elapsed time consistently, so system clock changes cannot incorrectly extend or shorten the available budget.
    • Download and decoding work share one overall preparation budget.
    • New archive requests and decode operations do not begin after the budget expires.
    • Results completed after the deadline no longer produce staging handles.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified preparation budgets, deadline handling, and delivery guarantees in the integration documentation and package README.

The whole pack-preparation budget now runs on one monotonic clock
(performance.now) instead of Date.now, so a system clock correction
mid-prepare can neither extend nor prematurely exhaust the
prepareTimeoutMs budget:

- The deadline is computed once per prepare on the monotonic clock and
  never restarted by a later archive; stagePack's remainder reads the
  same clock, and the fractional remainder is floored to the decoder's
  integer deadline contract only after the spent check, so rounding can
  never mint budget.
- No new archive request or decode starts once the monotonic clock says
  the budget is spent, even when the abort timer's callback is still
  queued.
- A decode that resolves after the budget is spent no longer earns
  staging handles: the final acceptance gate re-checks the budget and
  the abort state before handles are acquired.

prepareTimeoutMs, requestTimeoutMs and the #191 decode deadline keep
their existing responsibilities; user-cancel, dispose and deadline
causes stay distinct. Tests drive a manual monotonic clock with gated
downloads and a step-driven worker, covering forward and backward
wall-clock jumps, one shared budget across dependency archives, download
time reducing the decoder budget, zero decode posts after the budget is
spent, refusal of success handles on a late decode, and the existing
cancel/dispose/files-only regressions.

Patch changes

  • Measure the whole pack-preparation budget on one monotonic clock
    (performance.now) instead of Date.now, so a system clock correction
    during prepare can no longer extend or prematurely exhaust the
    prepareTimeoutMs budget. The decoder still receives only the unspent
    remainder, now floored to its integer deadline contract so rounding can
    never mint budget; no new archive request or decode starts once the
    monotonic clock says the budget is spent, and a decode that resolves
    after the budget is spent no longer earns staging handles. Existing
    responsibilities are unchanged: prepareTimeoutMs still covers one
    whole prepare, requestTimeoutMs still ends with each HTTP body, and
    user-cancel, dispose and deadline causes stay distinct.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Pack preparation now uses one performance.now budget. It passes only the floored remainder to decoding, blocks expired work, and rejects late results. Documentation, a changeset, and focused tests describe and verify these rules.

Monotonic deadline enforcement

Preparation uses one monotonic clock. Decoder deadlines use the floored remaining budget. Expired archives, decodes, and final results do not complete preparation. Documentation and the changeset describe the contract.
Deadline behavior tests

Tests cover wall-clock changes, shared archive budgets, download time, blocked decoding, and results that finish after the deadline.

A slow URL resolver can allow an archive request to start after the configured preparation budget expires. This is a bounded timeout-contract gap that should be fixed before release.

- Line 1184: The archive-request flow around stagePack must recheck the budget
after the synchronous resolveURL callback and immediately before
fetchDeliveryBytes, so a callback that advances time cannot start an expired
request; add a regression test with resolveURL advancing the fake monotonic
clock past the deadline.

Comment thread packages/phaser-assets/src/delivery.ts Resolved
The pre-request budget gate ran before stagePack invoked the synchronous
resolveURL callback, so user code in the resolver could spend the
remaining budget while the archive request still started. The gate now
sits immediately before the request it guards, after URL resolution, and
a regression test advances the fake monotonic clock inside resolveURL:
zero archive requests and zero decode posts, deadline failure.

The gated test origin now answers with Connection: close so each
phase-gated download uses a fresh connection — a pooled socket reused
across gates added runner-dependent transport behavior the test does
not measure and intermittently failed the second fetch on CI. The
prepare settles through an always-handled wrapper so any transport
failure fails the final assertion loudly instead of floating as an
unhandled rejection while a gate wait spins.
