test: structural O(n) detect_stops test (replaces flaky timing test) - #67
Merged
Conversation
…iming one The flaky wall-clock test_stop_detection_quadratic_blowup.py (repeatedly a false-positive across cycles) was removed. Replace its intent with a structural, op-count assertion: a 40k-sample real dwell (the original "quadratic blowup" case) is grown once and accepted, so the scan does ~O(N) work — proven by a tight linear max_scan_work=4*N budget that an O(N^2) recompute would blow past. No timing threshold, so no flakiness. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replaces the removed flaky wall-clock
test_stop_detection_quadratic_blowup.pywith a structural op-count assertion: a 40k-sample dwell is scanned in ~O(N) work (tightmax_scan_work=4*Nbudget), proving the incremental-bound_cluster_enddoesn't regress to O(N²). No timing threshold → no flakiness.
