Second round of @helix4u review on #71779. Both findings reproduced before
fixing.
1. My previous fix turned a crash into SILENT DATA LOSS. Returning
status="missing" for a present-but-unusable state_meta looked like a safe
degrade, but _verify_recovered_database only escalates "failed"/"partial"
into a warning + loss_detected. Measured on the branch: a run that dropped
a real metadata table reported warnings=[], loss_detected=False,
partial=False, complete=True. Strictly worse than the ValueError it
replaced -- that at least failed loudly.
Now "failed" when the table exists but lacks key/value, "missing" only
when genuinely absent. The damaged case yields
warnings=['state_meta copy status is failed'], loss_detected=True,
partial=True, complete=False, while staying verified=True so the output
is still installable-with-review.
2. The race test I wrote had its own scheduling race: after the guard
released the lock, the racer could win before the main thread set the
release event, failing on a correct implementation. Rewritten per
helix4u's design -- copy runs in a worker parked inside the patched
copy, a second worker attempts connect_tracked(), assert it stays blocked,
release, assert it then opens. Deterministic and ~1.1s instead of 10s;
12/12 stable.
Sabotage-verified. Note the third scenario only failed after adding a
unit-level test: recover_session_database short-circuits on the inspection
result when state_meta is entirely absent, so the helper's absent-branch is
unreachable end-to-end and a regression there was invisible. Both statuses
are now pinned directly.
939 targeted tests green.
