Why the existing lifecycle test missed this: it stubs
`demandLedger: { nextPendingExpiry: () => null }`, so the second timer this class
owns is never armed and the fence is only ever asserted against the liveness
interval. Change that one stub to a future expiry and the test fails.
`fenceAndCloseNow` cleared `livenessTimer` and left `demandExpiryTimer` armed.
`stop()` cleared both — but `stop()` has no production caller, while all three
fence sites (quit, sign-out, SIGNED_OUT) go through the path that cleared only one.
The consequence is the sharp part. The orphaned timeout fires `refreshDemand`,
which reconciles *and* re-installs the liveness interval the fence just tore down.
A fence during an outstanding pairing invite therefore undid itself minutes later
— the post-fence resurrection the comment two lines above forbids in so many words.
Both teardown paths now share one `disarmTimers()`. That also resolves the
`max-lines` pressure the extra clause created: the two teardown blocks were byte
identical, so deduplicating them is the right fix rather than a `max-lines`
disable, which this repo forbids and which the next person under that cap will be
tempted by.
The new test asserts `vi.getTimerCount() === 0` after the fence rather than
inferring from an absence of errors, and pins that a fence is not a stop — the
next auth mutation still re-arms both timers.
Pre-existing, not introduced by this stack; verified identical at the base SHA.
Mutation-tested: removing the `demandExpiryTimer` clause from `disarmTimers`
fails the new test at the timer-count assertion.
Also carries a note at `waitForLiveBrokerResult`: the `pending !== latestReconcile`
arm re-enters the loop without re-checking the deadline, so under continuous
reconcile churn the documented 20s budget is not strictly enforced and the
caller's transient demand ref is held past it. Not a hang — every iteration awaits
a settling promise — so it is bounded by how long churn lasts.
