What

Adds six tests across three files covering event ordering and graceful shutdown in the runtime's event loop (crates/nexum-runtime/src/runtime/event_loop.rs, crates/nexum-runtime/src/supervisor/tests.rs, crates/nexum-runtime/src/test_utils/harness.rs).

run() now returns a (blocks, chain_logs) tally of drained events so tests can assert on throughput directly, rather than only on log lines.

For event ordering (biased select arbitration): open_block_streams_opens_one_task_per_chain and open_chain_log_streams_opens_one_task_per_subscription are structural tests confirming one independent reconnect task per chain/subscription, so a slow stream cannot starve another. run_delivers_block_and_chain_log_events_without_starvation is an integration test that pre-queues one block and one chain-log event and asserts both are drained through the biased select without hanging. harness_delivers_block_and_chain_log_events_without_starvation is the equivalent end-to-end test against a real wasm module (skipped when no wasm is built).

For graceful shutdown: run_drains_reconnect_tasks_cleanly_on_shutdown and reconnect_task_exits_receiver_gone_when_receiver_drops verify that run() drops receivers before tasks.shutdown().await, so reconnect tasks observe TaskExit::ReceiverGone and exit naturally rather than being aborted. harness_shutdown_after_push_completes_cleanly confirms wait() returns Ok after a shutdown signalled immediately following a block push, proving no partial dispatch corrupts state.

Why

Two open issues call for direct test coverage of guarantees the runtime relies on but did not previously assert: that the event loop's biased select delivers both block and chain-log events fairly, and that shutdown drains reconnect tasks cleanly instead of relying on abort semantics.

Testing

  • cargo test -p nexum-runtime --lib, 4 new non-wasm tests pass; the two harness E2E tests skip without a built wasm module (pre-existing behaviour)
  • just ci builds the module wasms so all 6 tests, including the E2E pair, run

Closes #56
Closes #58

Four new tests covering the two open issues:

Issue #56 — event ordering guarantees:
- `open_block_streams_opens_one_task_per_chain`: structural check that N
  chains → N independent reconnect tasks, documenting the per-chain task
  isolation that prevents stream-A starvation from blocking stream-B events.
- `open_chain_log_streams_opens_one_task_per_subscription`: same structural
  check for chain-log subscriptions.
- `run_delivers_block_and_chain_log_events_without_starvation`: integration
  test over a zero-module supervisor that pre-queues one block and one
  chain-log event, runs the loop, and verifies it drains without hanging —
  the `biased` select delivers both event kinds in the same session.
- `harness_delivers_block_and_chain_log_events_without_starvation`: E2E test
  over the real example module (skipped when wasm not built) that pushes a
  block and a chain-log and waits for both dispatch log lines.

Issue #58 — graceful shutdown completion:
- `run_drains_reconnect_tasks_cleanly_on_shutdown`: verifies `run()` awaits
  `tasks.shutdown()` before returning — reconnect tasks observe a closed
  channel (ReceiverGone) rather than an abort, proving clean teardown.
- `harness_shutdown_after_push_completes_cleanly`: E2E test that calls
  shutdown immediately after a block push; `wait()` returning Ok proves no
  partial dispatch corrupts module state.
Review follow-ups - three of the six tests could not fail for the
property they claimed to verify:

- run() now returns its (blocks, chain_logs) dispatch tally (the same
  numbers the shutdown log line reports). The no-starvation test
  asserts both queued events were drained instead of merely observing
  that run() terminates on the shutdown timer - a broken or reordered
  select arm now leaves a count at 0 and fails.
- New direct test: a reconnect task parked on a dropped receiver exits
  with TaskExit::ReceiverGone on its own, joined on the bare handle.
  The previous test claimed to verify this through TaskSet::shutdown,
  which aborts every handle before joining, so ReceiverGone was never
  exercised; its doc comment now states the abort-then-join contract
  it actually proves.
- harness_shutdown_after_push_completes_cleanly raced shutdown against
  dispatch and accepted either outcome. Replaced with
  harness_shutdown_preserves_completed_dispatch: prove the dispatch
  completed, tear down, then re-read the log record after teardown.
- The harness no-starvation test now queues both event kinds before
  awaiting either, so the biased select genuinely arbitrates two ready
  streams instead of replaying the two pre-existing sequential tests.
- New harness_delivers_blocks_in_push_order: blocks 7,8,9 pushed
  back-to-back must surface in the module's log records in that order -
  issue #56's ordering guarantee, previously untested.
- run()-level tests wrapped in tokio::time::timeout so a shutdown-path
  hang fails in 10 s instead of stalling the suite to the CI job limit.
The train base moved under the branch again: open_chain_log_streams
now takes Vec<ChainLogSub> (resume cursors + max_lookback) instead of
(module, chain, filter) tuples, and the rebase left the two test call
sites building tuples. Construct ChainLogSub with no cursor and no
lookback - these tests exercise stream/task plumbing, not resume.
