test(miner-concurrency): parallel-attempt collision regression suite

[kiannidev]

Summary

• Add packages/gittensory-miner/lib/worktree-allocator.js — SQLite-backed acquire/release pool with configurable concurrency cap and orphan reclamation on startup (feat(miner-concurrency): add git-worktree-per-attempt allocator #4297 prerequisite).
• Add test/unit/miner-worktree-allocator-collisions.test.ts proving:
  • concurrent acquire() returns distinct worktree paths
  • excess parallel acquires are rejected at the cap (worktree_capacity_exceeded)
  • release() frees a path for reuse
  • crash recovery reclaims orphaned active allocations on reopen
• Add test/unit/miner-worktree-allocator.test.ts for path resolution and basic allocator behavior.

Closes #4298

Also delivers the allocator foundation required by #4297 (hard dependency noted in the issue).

Test plan

• npm run build:miner
• npx vitest run test/unit/miner-worktree-allocator.test.ts test/unit/miner-worktree-allocator-collisions.test.ts
• CI: validate, codecov/patch, security

Review summary
Adds a new SQLite-backed worktree-slot allocator (worktree-allocator.js) plus two test files. The allocator's transaction logic (BEGIN IMMEDIATE + re-check) is designed for cross-process contention, but node:sqlite's DatabaseSync API is fully synchronous and JS itself is single-threaded, so the 'parallel-attempt collision' tests — which only interleave calls via Promise.resolve().then() microtasks inside one process — cannot actually exercise concurrent/racing acquisitions; they'd pass identically even with the BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction removed, so they don't validate what the PR claims to regression-test. The PR also delivers the full #4297 allocator implementation (not just tests) under a PR titled/scoped as a 'test' PR closing #4298, which is scope creep beyond what the linked issue covers.

Blockers

• test/unit/miner-worktree-allocator-collisions.test.ts's 'concurrent'/'simultaneous' acquire tests only chain Promise.resolve().then() calls within a single Node process; since DatabaseSync is synchronous and JS is single-threaded, these calls never actually race, so the BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction/raced-recheck branch in worktree-allocator.js acquire() (lines ~180-200) is never genuinely exercised — the suite proves the allocator's plain (non-concurrent) logic works, not that it survives real multi-process collisions, which is the actual failure mode the allocator exists to prevent.
• The PR description states this closes test(miner-concurrency): add parallel-attempt collision regression suite #4298 (test-only) but also ships the entire feat(miner-concurrency): add git-worktree-per-attempt allocator #4297 production allocator (261 new lines of library code) as a 'prerequisite' bundled into the same PR — that's feature scope-creep beyond the linked issue and should be split or the issue link corrected to feat(miner-concurrency): add git-worktree-per-attempt allocator #4297 as well.

Nits — 5 non-blocking

• worktree-allocator.js isProcessAlive() (top of file) has a ternary in its catch block — `error.code === 'ESRCH' ? false : false` — both branches return the same value, so the ESRCH check is dead code; likely meant `... ? false : true` so an EPERM (process exists, different owner) correctly reports alive instead of being silently reclaimed.
• ensureSlots() only ever INSERT OR IGNOREs new slots up to maxConcurrency and never removes rows if a store is reopened with a smaller maxConcurrency than a prior run — worth a comment or guard since a shrinking config leaves orphaned extra slot rows that count toward listSlots() but not the intended cap.
• openWorktreeAllocator() is a 90+ line function per the size-smell scan; consider extracting statement-preparation into a small helper to keep the constructor scannable.
• 0o700/0o600 literals are repeated across mkdirSync/chmodSync calls; a couple of named constants (e.g. `DIR_MODE`, `DB_FILE_MODE`) would self-document intent and match the pattern likely used in claim-ledger.js's sibling module.
• Replace or supplement the in-process 'concurrent' tests with a real cross-process test (spawn 2+ child processes via node:child_process each calling acquire() against the same dbPath) to actually exercise the BEGIN IMMEDIATE contention path this allocator is built for.

Linked issue satisfaction

Addressed
The PR adds the exact deliverable file `test/unit/miner-worktree-allocator-collisions.test.ts` and covers all four required scenarios: concurrent acquire returning distinct paths, cap enforcement rejecting excess simultaneous acquires, release/reuse, and crash recovery via a manually seeded orphaned active row reclaimed on reopen, using the temp-dir/db-per-test pattern consistent with sibling mine

Signal definitions

• Related work = same linked issue, overlapping active PRs, or title/path similarity.
• Change scope = cached public metadata such as size labels, draft state, and review-burden hints.
• Validation posture = whether the PR provides enough public validation/test evidence for maintainer review.
• Contributor workload = public contributor activity and cleanup pressure, not a repo-wide quality failure.
• Contributor context = public GitHub/Gittensor identity context; non-Gittensor status is not a blocker.
