HTTP concurrency fixture completion review

The integrated run exposed completion watchdog assumptions in two existing real HTTP tests, not a demonstrated catalog-locking or revision-commit defect. The slow-source test's two-second catalog read and winning PATCH assertions completed before its old 25-second candidate-completion watchdog expired. The oversized test's five-second candidate-validation watchdog also expired; its separate catalog responsiveness assertions had passed.

A focused experiment extending the slow-source completion watchdog exposed the actual response: the 2,000-deep accepted fixture returned HTTP 504 after 31.05 seconds. The service has a real 30-second request deadline. Waiting longer cannot turn that response into the intended 412 conflict, and accepting 504 here would lose this test's revision-conflict proof.

The concurrency fixture now uses 1,000 nested activities. It retains the 100-millisecond unfinished-request assertion, two-second catalog/PATCH bounds, exact 412 revision_conflict, revision 2, winning model content, and persisted disk equality checks. Its completion watchdog is 45 seconds, enough to observe the real service deadline. The oversized import/replacement/candidate checks use 30-second completion watchdogs while retaining their separate five-second catalog bounds, exact model_limit rejection and no-mutation checks. Only test fixtures/watchdogs changed; production service behavior is unchanged.

Focused verification on the same -p oa-server --test http feature graph:

Test Result Test duration
accepted_slow_source_does_not_lock_catalog_and_loses_to_a_newer_http_revision 1 passed 13.13 s
oversized_source_and_json_are_rejected_without_stalling_the_catalog 1 passed 25.71 s

Logs: .local/server-completion-focused.log and .local/server-oversized-focused.log. These focused passes do not establish the result of the next integrated workspace run under concurrent test load.
