test(neo4j): give OptimisticLockingSpec's cross-thread heisenbug more headroom - #16070
Conversation
… headroom CI on PR #15972 (Neo4j GormRegistry migration) hit a reproducible-looking failure in "Test optimistic locking" on a loaded macos-latest runner. Investigation traced it to this test's own pre-existing timing sensitivity (flagged by its own "heisenbug" comment), not a regression from the GormRegistry wiring: the unmodified test passes locally against the exact failing commit, and the background thread's write is already synchronized via join() before the sleep runs. The sleep is headroom for the embedded Neo4j 3.5.x harness's own write durability, which a noisy CI runner can push past 2 seconds. Bumped to 5 seconds in both affected examples.

Pull request overview
This PR aims to reduce CI flakiness in the Neo4j GORM test suite by giving the known timing-sensitive OptimisticLockingSpec tests more durability headroom on loaded runners, and documenting the rationale for the wait.
Changes:
- Increased the post-join sleep in two optimistic-locking-related tests from 2s to 5s.
- Replaced the vague
// heisenbugnote with a clearer explanation of what the delay is intended to cover.
