The registration a module uses to become the authoritative source of Teams
(docs/website/TEAMS.md §2.3), plus the wrapper core calls it through.
registerTeamProvider is the first registration where core CALLS THE MODULE and
waits for an answer. Every existing one is either the module claiming a mount or
core notifying it; the closest precedent is registerAnnounceLeg's dispatch, and
this is modelled on it rather than invented. It also holds a single value rather
than a map, unlike every other registry: Teams have one authoritative source by
construction, and two modules answering "what teams exist" would produce two
disjoint sets under one `teams` table with no rule for merging them. A second
registration is therefore a collision, named against the module that holds it.
teamProvider.js is where invariant 1 -- module unavailability is staleness,
never emptiness -- is actually enforced. It is deliberately generous about what
counts as a failure: a rejected promise, a synchronous throw, a timeout, a
non-object, a bare array, a missing `ok`, or a structurally malformed row all
leave as the same `{ ok: false }` a module would have sent on purpose. There is
no shape a broken provider can produce that arrives at the reconciler looking
like an authoritative empty list -- which is the entire argument for the
envelope, since a bare array has exactly one such shape and it is the one a
module returns while its sidecar is still connecting.
A malformed row fails the whole call rather than being dropped. Salvaging is the
dangerous option: one unreadable member quietly omitted from a roster is
indistinguishable, downstream, from that member having left, and the sync would
mark them departed on the strength of a broken payload. Refusing costs one stale
interval.
The deadline timer is unreffed as well as cleared. Clearing covers the case
where the race settles; it cannot cover a module promise that never settles at
all, where nothing exists to clear until the deadline fires. Caught by the test
file taking 10.2s to run 265ms of assertions -- the same class of bug as the
mariadb pool that used to hold the suite open (test/_setup.js). 292ms now.
28 tests. Full suite 770 passed, 0 failed.
