Strategies (task 06 debt, task 12 dependency)
- ResourcePicker orders candidates; it deliberately does not choose. Only the
engine knows which resource actually fits this slot and which was already
taken by another role, and a strategy that picked would have to duplicate
both checks
- Four implementations behind a tagged iterator: first_available (name order,
the previous behaviour and still the default because it is predictable),
least_gap, least_loaded, same_as_previous
- least_gap and least_loaded are deliberate opposites and both are correct;
choosing between them is a business decision, so it lives in settings
- same_as_previous lifts a course's preferred resource to the front and keeps
everyone else behind it. A preference, not a filter: forcing the same
operator would make the patient wait two weeks, which is worse than a
different operator
- Availability accepts course_uuid to supply that preference, closing the
dependency task 12 recorded against task 06
- An unknown strategy falls back at search time but is rejected at save time.
Stale settings must not stop bookings; a user typing a wrong value must not
believe it took effect
Test suite flake
createUser() retries on a mobile-number collision — db_test is never reset and
holds tens of thousands of users, so the random draw does collide. The failed
INSERT closes the EntityManager, and the retry asked the container for it
again, which hands back the *same closed instance*. So the retry threw, and
every later test in that process inherited a dead manager.
That is the intermittent "EntityManager is closed" on an unrelated,
always-different test that made roughly half of full runs red and never
reproduced in a subset. Resetting the registry gives a live manager back.
UserCollisionRetryTest pins it by closing the manager on purpose.
Two consecutive full runs are green: 1334 tests.
