docs(rs): time-test rule defaults to kio::test - #8448
rs/AGENTS.md's time-test rule now matches the tree: #[kio::test] (simulated clock) is the default, and #[tokio::test] + tokio::time::pause() is used only when a test needs a real tokio runtime, such as loopback sockets set up before pausing (moq-relay shutdown, moq-cli admission tests). Finishes quest/m1/test-time-rule.md.
Choices made without asking
Kept this one line as the only Rust-wide statement of the rule. quest context gives the general "mock time" rule, rs/moq-net/AGENTS.md adds a stricter crate rule (no tokio at all), REVIEW.md covers review, and clippy.toml documents the lint. None of them repeated this rule word for word, so I left them all in place.
Impact
Agent instructions only. No public API changes, no wire changes.
No actionable defects found. The revised rule clearly separates the default simulated-clock tests, tests requiring a Tokio runtime with paused time, and real-time socket tests. It remains compatible with moq-net's stricter no-Tokio rule, and the completed quest and its README entry are removed together. Overall direction: this is a useful, focused clarification with no runtime changes.
Verification limits: GitHub diff/source review only; no builds or tests run, and no exhaustive audit of the repository's test-clock usage.

ℹ️ No critical issues — two rough edges worth a look.
Reviewed changes
Edited rs/AGENTS.md's time-test rule and finished the corresponding quest.
rs/AGENTS.md:51 — the rule now defaults time-dependent async tests to #[kio::test]'s simulated clock and confines #[tokio::test] + tokio::time::pause() to tests that need a tokio runtime.
quest/m1/test-time-rule.md / quest/m1/README.md — the quest file and its Required bullet are removed, matching the pattern of earlier quest-completion commits.
ℹ️ The "matches the tree" evidence counts kio::test inside tokio::test
The deleted quest justifies the flip with "about 4,900 kio::test uses against about 200 pause() calls", but that grep also matched the kio::test substring of tokio::test: the tree has 1,814 #[kio::test] attributes against 3,096 #[tokio::test], of which 1,435 use start_paused = true. So kio::test is a real idiom, but it is essentially rs/moq-net's (1,732 of the 1,814), while most other crates are tokio-dominant. The rule may still be the direction you want — worth saying so explicitly rather than claiming it matches the tree.
Technical details
# The kio::test count includes tokio::test## Affected sites- Deleted `quest/m1/test-time-rule.md` (Goal) — "about 4,900 `kio::test` uses ... against about 200 `pause()` calls".
-`rs/AGENTS.md:51` and the PR body — describe the rule as matching the tree.
## Evidence-`#[kio::test]`: 1,814 attributes; `#[tokio::test]`: 3,096, of which 1,435 are `start_paused = true`; explicit `tokio::time::pause()`: 191.
-`kio::test` is a substring of `tokio::test`, so 1,814 + 3,096 ≈ 4,910 explains the 4,900 figure.
- Per crate: `rs/moq-mux` 24 kio vs 1,070 tokio, `rs/moq-ffi` 0 vs 244, `rs/moq-cli` 0 vs 173. The deleted quest names moq-mux, moq-tokio, and moq-ffi as `kio::test` users, which is the signature of the substring match.
-`rs/moq-net` alone accounts for 1,732 of the 1,814 `#[kio::test]` uses.
## Required outcome- The policy can stand, but its rationale should reflect that paused tokio is the workspace norm outside moq-net, not that kio::test outnumbers it 25:1.

Walkthrough
The Rust time-test guidance now recommends #[kio::test] with a simulated clock by default. It describes when to use #[tokio::test] with tokio::time::pause() and how to assert timing for tests that keep real sockets running on real time. The related quest planning document and its Required-list entry were removed.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 1b718
The guidance can lead to flaky or panicking tests. Clarify socket timing and simulator APIs before relying on it.

Qualify the paused-clock socket example.
Setting up loopback sockets before pausing does not prevent Tokio from advancing time while a socket read is pending. A timeout can fire before the peer responds, causing intermittent test failures. (docs.rs)
Use real time when socket I/O must race a timer, or control auto-advance explicitly.

Applied in 47cc735: the rule now limits pause() to tests where no socket I/O races a timer, and real-socket tests call kio::clock::host_time() since just test sets KIO_DENY_HOST_TIMERS=1.

@kixelated Thanks! 47cc735dc1 addresses the socket-clock finding.
The simulator API point remains open: rs/AGENTS.md Line 51 does not name the APIs to use with #[kio::test]. Please specify kio::clock timers and kio::clock::sim::advance for those tests.

AGENTS.md: # Guidelines
- Model a lifecycle as one enum or union whose variants carry their data, mark it terminal only after the work that can fail, and guard each value with one lock (see State in `REVIEW.md`).
Source excerpt:
# Tests
Unit tests mock time instead of depending on the real clock: a test that sleeps to let work settle, waits out a timeout to prove nothing happened, or asserts that an operation finished within a real-time budget passes on a quiet machine and flakes under load.
Flag one in any language, even when the timer goes through `kio::clock` or `@moq/clock`, whose timers still wait in real time until the test installs a paused, simulated, or `Manual` clock.
The fix is a mocked clock or an awaited event, never a shorter or longer real wait or a looser budget, and the same fix lands in every language's sibling test.
The exception is a test that drives real sockets, devices, or processes, which may wait on the real clock and opts out with `host_time()` or `hostTime()`; that opt-out belongs nowhere else.
The runtime guards fail Rust and bun tests only when a timer fires on the host clock, so they miss Go and Python tests, elapsed-time assertions, and any wait that bypasses those clocks; and Rust's `host_time()` lasts for the whole process, so it hides other tests' waits outside nextest's one-test-per-process runs.

Learning: The coding guideline "async tests that sleep should call tokio::time::pause()" applies only to unit/integration tests whose delays are driven entirely by Tokio timers (e.g., tokio::time::sleep). It does NOT apply to real-network integration tests (e.g., in rs/moq-relay/tests/smoke.rs) that poll live TCP connections or perform real OS-level I/O, because tokio::time::pause() has no effect on the OS clock or actual network operations and would be incorrect there.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)
Reviewed 47cc735 against previously reviewed 1b71843. The only subsequent change is the testing-rule line; the base remains cd560bd.
No new actionable defects found. The update correctly warns against racing socket I/O with a paused Tokio clock and names the host_time opt-in required for real-time tests by KIO_DENY_HOST_TIMERS. Overall direction: this strengthens the earlier clarification without changing runtime code.
Verification limits: GitHub-only source comparison, including the clock and test-runner references; no builds/tests run or exhaustive clock-usage audit.

Reviewed changes
Re-reviewed the delta since 1b71843: the single rs/AGENTS.md:51 rewrite.
Paused-clock exemption narrowed — #[tokio::test] + tokio::time::pause() is now limited to tests that need a tokio runtime where no socket I/O races a timer, with the reason (a paused clock auto-advances while a read is pending) stated inline.
Real-socket guidance completed — the rule now names kio::clock::host_time() and KIO_DENY_HOST_TIMERS=1 for tests on real sockets, matching the abort message in rs/kio/src/clock/runtime.rs and the 21 existing opt-in sites.
The claims check out against rs/justfile:370, rs/kio/src/clock/runtime.rs:160-234, and the real-TLS loopback tests in rs/moq-tokio/src/websocket.rs:929. The earlier inline thread on this line is addressed and resolved.
