guard: the same work done again leaves the window as it was by donislawdev · Pull Request #139 · donislawdev/TestingFilesGenerator

What this adds

One guard, TestTheSameWorkDoneAgainLeavesTheWindowAsItWas, and no product change.

Each of the three work screens does one round of the work people repeat, four times over:

Single batch: every format in turn, a damage and none, a size typed and typed back, one small run into a directory of its own.
Presets: every preset in turn, its seed typed and typed back, and the limit of size-boundaries.
Several batches: the base switched on, changed twice and switched off, a batch added and removed, a batch copied and the copy removed, an archive given contents and back, the batch name typed into.

After every round, three counts must equal those after round 1:

Readings of the form and preset expansions, per change. A chain of listeners anywhere, not only where the one from 2026-09-23 was, makes the same change cost more every round.
Drawn things the screen reaches through its own fields. Reflection, telling things apart by address and type. A rebuild that keeps what it replaced shows here, in the drawn tree or in a map.
Goroutines started during the guard that are still running our code. Counted by id, after a bounded wait. Nothing counted these before. The wait for a run is a channel the worker closes before it returns, so a worker stuck after that point held nothing up.

It uses counts rather than memory because the toolkit's test driver never clears its renderer cache. The real window's memory is measured once per release, outside CI.

Proof it can go red

Three mutations, one per count, all caught, each for its own reason:

chainOnce wraps the callback on every registration.
rebuild keeps the old batch panels. It fails with the types that grew: +236 *parts.DetailButton, ...
The run worker waits for a cancel after close(done). It fails with 1, then 2, then 3 goroutines left, and prints their stacks.

Test plan

The guard alone takes about 1.2 s without -race, and it passed twice.
Before this PR there were no failures for it to catch.
The cheap gates (43 tests), staticcheck and golangci-lint on internal/guard pass.
Full suite and race detector in CI.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Tests
- Expanded automated coverage for repeated interactions on the generation, preset, and recipe screens. Checks now exercise common setting changes and editing workflows across multiple rounds, including generation with a background task, and verify that results and screen state remain consistent.

Every screen does one round of the work people repeat - every format, every preset, a base switched and changed, batches added, copied and taken away, an archive given contents, boxes typed into and a small run - four times over. After each round three counts have to come out the same as after the first: the readings of the form and expansions of a preset each change caused, the drawn things the screen reaches through its own fields, and the goroutines started here that are still running our code. The listener chain of 2026-09-23 has a guard of its own at the place it was. This one asks about the class, wherever a next one would sit, and about two things nothing counted before: a rebuild that keeps what it replaced, and a worker that outlives its run. Counts rather than memory, because the test driver never clears its cache of renderers. Memory is asked of the real window in the release check.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds test helpers that compare form reads, preset expansions, reachable canvas objects, and goroutine activity across repeated screen work. New tests exercise generation, preset editing, and recipe editing for four rounds.

Changes

Repeated screen work checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Repeated-work measurement and comparison `internal/guard/repetition_test.go`	Helpers measure form reads and preset expansions, count reachable canvas objects by type, detect newly started goroutines that remain in module code, and compare later rounds with the first.
Screen work rounds `internal/guard/workrepeated_test.go`	Tests perform four rounds of changes to the generate, preset, and recipe screens. The generation test holds a worker during a run and checks for a written manifest. The recipe test checks that batch changes leave no second batch.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8d756

The new guard may stop checking preset-parameter edits after a preset rename. This is a bounded test-coverage gap, so the change is mergeable with an explicit follow-up.
