3. Make the registrar accessor agree with all(), and pin which container answers

[nikolaystrikhar]

What: Absorber::registrar() drains the registration buffer through a now-public Registry\Reader::flush() before handing the registrar back, so it holds what Absorber::all() reports — and the suite pins which container the hooks and the accessors each answer from when a second one arrives after boot().

Usage:

Absorber::register( [ 'slug' => 'give-recurring', … ] );
Absorber::boot();

Absorber::registrar()->all();  // was [], is now [ 'give-recurring' => Sub_Plugin ]
Absorber::all();               // [ 'give-recurring' => Sub_Plugin ], unchanged

Why this way:

A public accessor that disagrees with another is worse than no accessor. Registration is buffered until something reads it, so the registrar was empty for the whole window a host asks in — while Registrar_Interface::all() promises every registration, in order, and Absorber::all() delivered it.

flush() is public rather than all() called for its effect. Only the drain is wanted here, and a discarded list left the reason for the line entirely in a comment. The cost is a second method a rebound reader owes, which Stub_Registry_Reader pays with a no-op: it answers from the sub-plugins a test named and holds no registrar to drain into.

The drain runs after the binding is resolved, not before. Registry\Reader takes a registrar as a constructor argument, so a registrar bound to the wrong class is an unbuildable reader too — draining first would name a collaborator the host never bound instead of the binding it got wrong.

A warning only a docblock makes is a warning nothing enforces. Two live containers is what a host gets by calling set_container() from a service provider. Asserted by loading a sub-plugin and reading Absorber::all(), not by counting resolutions: the damage is that the load pass works while the registry a host can reach reports nothing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Registrar access now includes all registrations made so far, including buffered registrations.
  • Buffered registrations are transferred when the registrar is accessed, keeping results consistent with reported registry contents.

• Bug Fixes

  • Invalid registrar configurations are detected before registrations are transferred.
  • Container replacement and repeated boot scenarios now preserve expected registration behavior.

• Documentation

  • Updated guidance clarifies registrar contents and deferred registration handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Absorber::registrar() resolves and validates the registrar, flushes buffered registrations, and returns it. Reader::flush() is public. Tests cover registrar consistency, invalid bindings, and container behavior across boot and replacement.

Changes

Registrar consistency

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Expose reader flushing src/Registry/Reader.php, tests/_support/Stub_Registry_Reader.php	Reader::flush() is public. The test stub provides a no-op override.
Flush before returning the registrar src/Absorber.php, tests/unit/AbsorberTest.php, docs/extending.md	Absorber::registrar() resolves the registrar before flushing buffered registrations. Tests verify consistency with all(), one-time draining, and invalid bindings. Documentation describes the behavior.
Preserve boot-time container wiring tests/unit/AbsorberTest.php	Tests verify that boot hooks retain the original container while accessors use a replacement container. Repeated boot does not bind providers into the replacement container.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f001e

The registrar accessor can still return incomplete or empty registration data when the container provides different registrar instances, causing it to disagree with the aggregate accessor; merge should wait for that binding-consistency issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

same Registrar_Interface instance already resolved into $registrar, ensuring
flushed registrations are reflected in the returned registrar. Add a test
covering a transient Registrar_Interface binding and verify the returned
registrar contains the registrations flushed by Reader.
