concurrent_upgrades_cannot_exceed_the_connection_cap aborted the server
task before asserting player_count, which is a race against the very
counter under test.

WebSocketUpgrade::on_upgrade spawns its callback as an independent task,
and that callback owns the armed ConnectionSlot until handle_socket
disarms it. The callback only runs once hyper::upgrade::OnUpgrade
resolves, and that future is driven by the connection task living inside
the aborted server handle. Aborting first therefore fails the upgrade,
axum drops the closure along with the still-armed guard without ever
calling handle_socket, and ConnectionSlot::drop releases the
reservation — so the assertion reads 0 rather than 1.

The admitted racer has already received its 101 by then, and the test
holds its sockets open, so nothing in the assertions needs the server
stopped first. Moving abort() below them removes the window. The
reject_count reads were never affected: rejection counters are
monotonic and no release path touches them, while player_count is the
one counter teardown mutates.

Seen on CI as run 32674887957 (shard 4/4), where it failed an unrelated
docs-only PR. Not reproducible locally: 40 pre-fix runs on a 4-thread
runtime and 20 on a starved single-thread runtime were all green, so the
change rests on the ownership analysis above rather than on a local
repro. It strictly removes a teardown step that can only ever decrement
the counter being asserted.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The connection-cap race test now retains admitted WebSocket sockets while it validates capacity and rejection metrics. The test asserts the admitted socket count before server shutdown.

Changes

Connection-cap test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retained admitted sockets
crates/phase-server/src/main.rs
The test returns admitted sockets with refused counts and asserts their length. The sockets remain open during capacity and metric checks.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b54e7

This test-only change moves server shutdown until after the relevant assertions, preventing teardown from altering the connection count being checked; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Maintainer review found no code finding on head b9e63b97eae030dee7cb65259f4725708ac9ec58. I cannot approve or enqueue while the required Rust (fmt, clippy, test, coverage-gate) aggregate is failing: its shard 2/4 job was cancelled in run 32738808671. Please rerun the required verification; I will recheck this exact head when it is green.

`concurrent_upgrades_cannot_exceed_the_connection_cap` aborted the server
task before asserting `player_count`, which is a race against the very
counter under test.

`WebSocketUpgrade::on_upgrade` spawns its callback as an independent task,
and that callback owns the armed `ConnectionSlot` until `handle_socket`
disarms it. The callback only runs once `hyper::upgrade::OnUpgrade`
resolves, and that future is driven by the connection task living inside
the aborted `server` handle. Aborting first therefore fails the upgrade,
axum drops the closure along with the still-armed guard without ever
calling `handle_socket`, and `ConnectionSlot::drop` releases the
reservation — so the assertion reads 0 rather than 1.

The admitted racer has already received its 101 by then, and the test
holds its sockets open, so nothing in the assertions needs the server
stopped first. Moving `abort()` below them removes the window. The
`reject_count` reads were never affected: rejection counters are
monotonic and no release path touches them, while `player_count` is the
one counter teardown mutates.

Seen on CI as run 32674887957 (shard 4/4), where it failed an unrelated

Maintainer fixup b54e7d6f1efc324bf6a0358e4f80e1ff47cb50f0 now retains the admitted WebSocket stream through the player_count assertion, so the assertion observes the reservation it is meant to test. The current head has had a focused manual re-review; it is held only until required CI completes for this exact SHA, then it will receive the final current-head disposition.

Approved at b54e7d6: the current test retains the admitted WebSocket through the capacity assertion, covering the concurrent atomic admission path.
