6. Prove the recorder that pins the guard check ahead of the dependency check (test only)

[nikolaystrikhar]

What: LoaderTest::test_an_already_loaded_sub_plugin_is_not_dependency_checked proves its recorder through the registered Sub_Plugin, not through a local closure.

Usage:

$this->assertSame( 0, $checked );

$this->assertFalse( Absorber::all()['give-recurring']->are_dependencies_met() );

$this->assertSame( 1, $checked, 'The recorder must catch a call that really happened.' );

Why this way:

A "did not happen" assertion needs a live recorder. assertSame( 0, $checked ) passed equally for a mistyped config key, a fixture trait that dropped the override, or a load path that stopped reading dependency_check at all. Twelve other sites in this suite already prove the recorder afterwards; this one did not.

It has to be proved through the read path, not the closure. Invoking the local handle only shows the closure counts. are_dependencies_met() is the call the gate makes, so it also shows the callback reached the registered object and is still read from there — mistyping the key now fails the test, where it would have passed either way.

It is the only test pinning the gate order. That the guard constant is checked ahead of the dependency check is what carries the re-declaration guarantee and keeps a plugin the admin can watch working from raising a requirements notice.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Improved coverage for already-loaded sub-plugin dependency checks.
  • Added verification that dependency callbacks are recorded when explicitly invoked.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The loader unit test now invokes the registered sub-plugin dependency check. It verifies the check returns false and records exactly one callback invocation.

Changes

Loader test validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dependency callback recording test tests/unit/LoaderTest.php	The test invokes the registered dependency check, verifies its false result, and confirms that the recorder observed one call.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7137d

This test-only change strengthens verification of dependency-check ordering without altering production behavior, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

retrieve and invoke the callback stored in the registered Sub_Plugin
configuration, rather than invoking the local $check closure directly. Assert
that the retained dependency_check callback is present before verifying the
already-loaded guard and its invocation count.

I was checking into this on my end as well and this solution to what CodeRabbit pointed out should work :)
