Row 82 (da23f2dc) fixed this leak shape in PartitionPurgeTests and
NotifyDispatcherAuditTrailTests; three classes in the same assembly still had
it. Each creates an actor with a fast periodic tick (100 ms purge override,
~0 s reconciliation override) against a shared MsSqlMigrationFixture database
and never stops it deterministically, relying on TestKit's Dispose -> Shutdown
— which is timeout-bounded and does NOT fail when it expires. A survivor keeps
mutating the fixture DB while LATER test classes run.
All three now use the same Watch(actor) / Sys.Stop(actor) /
ExpectTerminated(actor) helper da23f2dc established, applied at EVERY
actor-creation site — 11 in AuditLogPurgeActorTests, 10 in
SiteAuditReconciliationActorTests, 2 in OutageReconciliationTests.
The two real-DB cases are the ones that could corrupt another class:
AuditLogPurgeActorTests' EndToEnd_RealPartition_… keeps switching partitions
out of the shared DB, and SiteAuditReconciliationActorTests'
Tick_Duplicates_NotDoubleInserted holds a live AuditLogRepository over a
DbContext the test is about to dispose. The stub-repo cases are cheaper but not
free: each burns a DI scope and a thread every 100 ms for the rest of the
assembly run.
OutageReconciliationTests needed more than the helper. It already called
Sys.Stop, but (a) fire-and-forget, so the call returns before the in-flight tick
has finished writing to MSSQL, and (b) from the LAST line of the enclosing
`await using` block, so any earlier assertion failure skipped it entirely. Both
stops move to immediately after the last step that needs the actor alive —
before the read-back that counts rows — and the AuditLogIngestActor that
BuildCentralPipeline creates is now stopped too (test 2 was discarding its ref
outright, leaving it holding a service provider the block then disposed).
Where a test's remaining assertions read a collection the actor appends to
(client.Calls indexing, Assert.Empty on a switched-boundaries list), the stop is
placed BEFORE them so they no longer read a moving target.
AuditLog.Tests: 383/383 green (1 m 51 s), 0 skipped.
