The independent-verifier caught that my first loop-level test did not
actually prove anything. The 502/SVG coordinate fixture I reused from
gmoranxyz's unit-level test does not contain the substring 403 once
case-folded, so the old naive substring classifier already treated it
as transient. A test that passes under both the buggy code and the
fix proves nothing about the fix.
I replaced the fixture with a plain connection timeout whose message
wraps the real Matrix sync pagination token, an arbitrary digit
string that happens to contain 401. I verified this directly: with
the pre-fix classifier restored, the retry test now fails (the old
code stops the loop on this fixture), and with the fix in place it
passes (the loop retries as it should). That is the RED/GREEN proof
the maintainer originally asked for.
I also documented in the stop test's docstring that it does not
discriminate old from new, since the word forbidden in its message
trips the old naive check too. It is still worth keeping as a
regression test proving genuine auth errors stop the loop, just not
as proof of this specific fix.
While I was in there I also fixed a stale comment above the
M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN sync-object pre-check. It said nio returns SyncError
objects, but the dependency here is mautrix, not matrix-nio, and
importing nio raises ModuleNotFoundError in this codebase. The
pre-check logic itself was already correct and untouched.
