Completes quest/m0/peer-arithmetic.md, the JS remainder after the Rust half in moq-dev/moq#8220, and deletes the quest.

Summary

@moq/clock's Instant now mirrors kio::clock::Instant: add and sub are gone, replaced by checkedAdd/checkedSub (undefined past the clock's range) and saturatingAdd/saturatingSub (stop at the clock's last instant or its origin). Duration gains checkedAdd and saturatingAdd beside its existing saturatingSub; like std's Duration, it keeps its throwing add/sub.

The type checker found 41 call sites across every TS project in the repo (the quest's estimate of 160 was high). Each now states what overflow means, as the Rust sites do:

  • Config and timer deadlines (cache sweep, reload window, tickers, effect.interval, IETF re-offer backoff, chat history, catalog estimate, file pacing, staleness wakeups) saturate to the clock's last instant, so a huge duration means "effectively never" rather than a throw.
  • Timeline.at loses its detour through Instant.ZERO: a negative source timestamp is now start.saturatingSub(...), which is exactly the "saturates at the clock's origin" its doc already promised.
  • The one peer-reachable site, the IETF REQUEST_ERROR retry interval (#refusal in js/net/src/ietf/publisher.ts), uses checkedAdd(...) ?? "never", the same as Rust's Refused::Never. A u62 millisecond interval is far inside a JS instant's range, so this branch states intent rather than fixing a reachable throw.
  • Tests and benches use saturatingAdd, since overflow never happens there.

Docs: doc/lib/js/clock.md describes the checked and saturating forms and fixes its DOM-timestamp example.

Choices made without asking

  • A JS instant's range is [0, Number.MAX_VALUE] nanoseconds, so the saturating ceiling is a private Instant.#MAX (and Duration.#MAX for durations), mirroring kio's crate-private Instant::MAX. Neither is exported: no caller needs one.
  • Wall keeps its throwing add/sub, as Rust's Wall keeps its operators; the Rust PR left them out of scope too.
  • Duration.add/sub stay, matching std's Duration operators.

Impact

  • Public API (breaking, @moq/clock, unpublished): Instant.add and Instant.sub are removed. New: Instant.checkedAdd, Instant.checkedSub, Instant.saturatingAdd, Instant.saturatingSub, Duration.checkedAdd, Duration.saturatingAdd.
    • Migration: replace at.add(d) with at.checkedAdd(d) (undefined past the clock's range) or at.saturatingAdd(d), and at.sub(d) with at.checkedSub(d) or at.saturatingSub(d). @moq/clock has never been published to npm, so no released consumer breaks.
  • Wire: none.

Caused by

No single PR: Instant.add/sub threw from @moq/clock's first version, mirroring std rather than kio's later API.

Suggested follow-ups

None.

Checks

  • bun test in js/clock: 41 pass.
  • tsc --noEmit across all 46 TS projects: no Instant.add/sub errors left.
  • just check: passes (biome, js check and build with API reports, js tests, quest, shell, markdown).

@moq/clock mirrors kio::clock::Instant: Instant.add/sub are replaced by
checkedAdd/checkedSub and saturatingAdd/saturatingSub, and Duration gains
checkedAdd and saturatingAdd. Every call site states what overflow means:
deadlines saturate, and the IETF retry interval past the clock's range
means "never", as in Rust.

Reviewed the complete patch at 8f57856, including the arithmetic implementation, caller migrations, timeline mapping, retry-refusal handling, and timer backend. No actionable findings.

Direction: explicit checked versus saturating operations make the overflow policy visible at each caller without expanding the public API with a maximum-instant sentinel. Negative timeline timestamps retain origin saturation, and the host timer already chunks oversized delays rather than letting setTimeout turn them into immediate callbacks.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review. I did not execute tests, type checking, or builds; reported passing checks were not independently verified.

ℹ️ Two small suggestions inline; the arithmetic and the caller migrations check out.

Reviewed changes

  • Instant arithmetic — add/sub are replaced by checkedAdd/checkedSub (undefined past the range) and saturatingAdd/saturatingSub (clamped to a private Instant.#MAX/ZERO), mirroring kio::clock::Instant. The isFinite and >= 0 guards between them reproduce checked(), so no non-finite instant is constructible, and MAX_VALUE + x === MAX_VALUE makes the ceiling a fixed point.
  • Duration overflow — checkedAdd/saturatingAdd added beside the existing saturatingSub, with a private Duration.#MAX mirroring std's Duration::MAX; throwing add/sub stay.
  • Call sites — every migrated site states its intent: deadlines and tickers saturate (@moq/signals effect.interval, net ticker, cache sweep, reload window, catalog estimate, file pacing, chat history, test helpers), and the peer-reachable IETF REQUEST_ERROR retry in js/net/src/ietf/publisher.ts#refusal uses checkedAdd(...) ?? "never".
  • Timeline.at — the negative-timestamp branch drops its Instant.ZERO detour for start.saturatingSub(...); I checked it against the old expression and it is value-equivalent.
  • Docs, API, quest — doc/lib/js/clock.md, the regenerated js/clock/api/index.api.md, and the quest deletion with its quest/m0/README.md bullet.

I verified the remaining .add(/.sub( hits are all Duration/Wall receivers, and left Wall's throwing forms alone: a finite Duration cannot overflow a float millisecond wall time, so unlike kio's u64 nanoseconds they are unreachable. Local runs: bun test js/clock (41), bun test js/net/src (3200), bun test js/publish/src (379) all pass.

Walkthrough

The clock API adds checked and saturating arithmetic for Duration and Instant, replacing Instant.add and Instant.sub. Tests cover arithmetic at the clock limits. Runtime scheduling code, benchmarks, and test helpers adopt saturating operations. The clock documentation is updated, and the quest arithmetic plan is removed.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 8f578

Arithmetic at the clock’s extreme limits can return an incorrect checked result. Correct both boundary checks before merging, or explicitly accept this bounded API risk.

addition can round the result back to Number.MAX_VALUE. Return undefined for
that overflow while preserving valid additions and the existing finite-result

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head cb0c945 against previously reviewed 8f57856. The update is confined to Duration arithmetic and its boundary test; the base and caller migrations are unchanged.

No new actionable findings. The shared non-throwing carry helper removes the checked-to-throwing round trip, the operand comparison rejects a carried sum that would move backwards, and the strengthened test checks the distinct maximum duration and its nanosecond overflow. The discussion explicitly retains floating-point rounding for additions that remain equal to an operand; this review does not reopen that settled choice.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the incremental patch, full arithmetic implementation, current PR patch and discussion. No tests, type checks or builds run.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

  • Single-sourced duration overflow — #carry now delegates to a new #tryCarry that returns undefined past the range, with add throwing on that result, so rounding and the overflow decision live in one place.
  • Rejected sums that round below an operand — checkedAdd now returns undefined when the carried sum compares below either operand, which catches the near-ceiling case where a carried second rounds away and is what makes #MAX.saturatingAdd(x) === #MAX a fixed point.
  • Strengthened boundary test — the saturation assertion uses gt(longest), and the test now pins the ceiling's own checked and saturating behavior.

bun test js/clock passes (41) at this head.
