No behavior change to the fix itself; cleanup only.
Production:
- Trim the narrative that was told three times over (coordinator
docstring, test docstring, inline comment) down to one telling in the
docstring, where someone tempted to remove the gate will be standing.
- Guard the second degraded return in _async_update_data on
self._discovered too. That arm is currently unreachable before
discovery only because every _observe.apply() call site happens to be
gated on post-discovery state -- a non-local accident across four call
sites. Stating the precondition where it is relied on makes it the same
explicit rule _defer_reconnect_for now applies.
Tests, 7 -> 4 with better discrimination:
- test_session_closed_when_first_refresh_fails asserted _close_session
was called, which the reconnect path already does on its own -- so it
passed with the fix removed. Merged into the persistent-timeout test
and re-pointed at async_close, which only setup calls.
- Dropped the __new__-built unit test: it set one attribute on an
otherwise uninitialized instance, so it asserted the gate's position in
the function rather than any behavior, and would have errored rather
than failed if reordered.
- Folded the timeout-budget test into the recovery test it was a
byte-for-byte copy of, and replaced both hand-rolled call counters with
the side_effect=[exc, resources] idiom already used in this file.
Each of the three production changes is now independently covered:
removing any one of them alone fails the suite.
