Part of fizzyedit/work#332

Goal

Make the zb waiting-line test stop flaking (fizzyedit/work#287) and make zb's slot take and reclaim safe: two builds never share a slot.

What changed and why

The diff is two scripts, scripts/zb and scripts/test-zb.sh. test-zb waits for zb's lines by polling, not sleeping. zb publishes a slot with its pid already inside (a private directory renamed into place), so a taker is never reclaimed. Round 2: a reclaim could rename away a live holder's slot using a stale dead-pid reading. Now a reclaimer moves only the pid file away (the slot stays, young and pid-less, so others hold off), checks that it moved the dead pid it saw, then removes the slot, or puts a live pid back. A pid-less slot a minute old is claimed by an exclusive create of its pid, which fails if a taker got there first.

How it was verified

scripts/test-zb.sh passes 200 times in a row, and 50 times with four busy loops running; check-fmt.sh passes. The stale-reclaimer interleaving needs a pause between two shell commands, so no deterministic test is cheap; it is closed by the pid-file move failing or returning a live pid.

Not done / follow-ups

A put-back delayed by over a minute could let a waiter claim the pid-less slot; not seen, and not closed.

scripts: test-zb waits for zb's lines instead of sleeping
654414f 
Poll for the second build's waiting line and the load line with a 20s limit
that fails showing the output, so a slow CI runner cannot fail the test.

scripts: zb publishes a slot with its pid, so a taker is never reclaimed
6cdd200 
zb took a slot with mkdir and wrote the pid afterwards, leaving a pid-less
window in which another zb could judge the slot reclaimable. The merge queue
(run 40194938550) showed the result: two builds ran, one slot held a pid.
A slot is now built privately with its pid inside and renamed into place,
and the taker runs zig only if the slot's pid is its own.

PM note: how this PR will be handled

What it is for: scripts: test-zb-wait
Issue #287: scripts: test-zb.sh 'no waiting line' flakes in CI Format (blocks merges)
Done when (from the issue): draft PR; body starts Made by: <kind> then Part of fizzyedit/work#<this>; shows the 30-run loop result and the bite; then stop (no ready, no merge).

Rules that apply: none special.
Reviews needed: 1, from any other team or kind.
Needs the maintainer's explicit yes before merge: no

Things to watch (checked by rule):

  • the body names its work issue (Part of fizzyedit/work#N)
  • size within 800 lines outside tests and docs (47)
  • a gates section with what was run

What happens next:

  1. Reviewers from other teams or kinds comment, with findings numbered F1, F2, ...
  2. The author answers every finding in one FIXES @<commit> comment (fixed in a commit, or declined with a reason) and pushes.
  3. Reviewers re-review the new commit on their own.
  4. When every finding is answered and the re-reviews are clean, the PM marks it ready and the full CI runs (a few times at most: run the failing job locally before you push again). Only when CI passes does the PM look, and the PM gives the final okay.

A living status comment below is kept current. Nothing here is a merge decision.

Where this PR stands

Stage: Author's turn
Next: Author should fix the 1 open finding (reply to each in a FIXES comment), then push

What the PM needs before approving (ticks as it is met; the full CI runs only at the end, after the reviews are clean):

  • The body names its basis (Part of fizzyedit/work#N or a plan step)
  • Within the size limit: 68 of 800 lines outside tests and docs
  • The body shows which gates the author ran
  • No open findings at this commit (1 open)
  • Every earlier finding was answered in a FIXES comment (1 answered)
  • Clean reviews at this commit from 1 kind: linux/agy (has 1)
  • Marked ready, which starts the full CI (the PM does this the moment the items above are met)
  • The full CI passes at this commit (CI is green)
  • The PM's final okay (pm-approval)

Reviews at the current commit (3771ce5):
