SPA; prefer ones that re-derive a value from the source over ones that restate
it
+- **A test that models a fix agrees with it by construction.** The first
+ buffer-ceiling test transcribed the player's credit loop into a small model and
+ passed, while the player it was written for still hung on a phone. The model and
+ the fix had the same author and the same misunderstanding. `tests/harness/
+ mse_harness.mjs` lifts `bufferedAhead`, `evictBehind`, `flushQueue` and `pump`
+ out of `app.js` *as text* and executes them; what it models is the browser. When
+ even that was not enough, a headless Chrome driven against real fragmented MP4
+ reproduced the defect in one run. Model the environment, never the code under
+ test
+
+- **`Cache-Control: no-cache` only binds a browser that asks.** One that cached
+ the SPA before that header existed applies heuristic freshness — a fraction of
+ the file's age, days for a file dated weeks ago — and does not ask at all. A
+ fix can be written, tested, deployed, served and still not be what runs, which
+ is indistinguishable from a fix that does not work. The whole module graph is
+ now served under `/a/<content-hash>/` so relative imports inherit the prefix and
+ no cache can serve yesterday's build or half of each. `test_asset_versioning.py`
+
+- **Redeploying during someone else's test destroys the evidence.** A node deploy
+ restarts the daemon, which kills every live WebRTC session — the tester sees
+ "transport not connected" caused by nothing they did — and `deploy-node.sh`
+ truncates `/tmp/meshbay-node.log`, taking the reproduction with it. Ask before
+ deploying while a reproduction is in flight
+
+- **`updateend` fires for `remove()` as well as `appendBuffer()`.** Crediting the
+ node from that event paid it for the player's own evictions: every time room was
+ made, more was asked for to fill it. Credit now follows the buffer, decided in
+ one place, and the append path grants nothing
+
+- **Flow control on a media stream is a window, not a debt.** Granting a credit
+ per append means pulling at network speed, which for a film is far faster than
+ watching it and fills the browser's SourceBuffer ceiling; accumulating those
+ credits and releasing the balance when the buffer finally drains sends the lot
+ in one burst and then says nothing for forty-six seconds. Bound the read-ahead
+ by *time past the playhead* and top a small window up as segments land. A viewer
+ deliberately holding credit must still say so, or the node's stall timeout ends
+ a film that is merely paused
+
- **`create_all()` is not a migration.** It creates missing *tables* and never a
missing *column*, so a new column reaches the tests (fresh DB every run) and never
reaches the deployed hub. Symptom: one endpoint answering 500 with an HTML body
