📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds a deterministic, thread-local virtual timer queue. The test runner now exposes timer globals and ChangesDeterministic virtual timers
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to This PR adds virtual timer scheduling across fake-timer, async, and realm behavior, but the current implementation still has a memory-safety failure under nested interval re-entry, overflow handling that can break valid clock operations, and runtime paths that can lose timer failures or leave async waits unresolved. It is not merge-ready until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owning maintainers. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Suite TimingTest Runner (interpreted: 12,742 passed; bytecode: 12,742 passed)
MemoryGC rows aggregate the main thread plus all worker thread-local GCs. Test runner worker shutdown frees thread-local heaps in bulk; that shutdown reclamation is not counted as GC collections or collected objects.
Benchmarks (interpreted: 440; bytecode: 440)
MemoryGC rows aggregate the main thread plus all worker thread-local GCs. Benchmark runner performs explicit between-file collections, so collection and collected-object counts can be much higher than the test runner.

1024-1032: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider converting the trailing re-check into a loop.
DoTickcalls itself for timers a callback scheduled inside the remaining range.Firedresets to 0 on every recursive call, soTIMER_TICK_LOOP_LIMITbounds one activation but not the recursion depth. A pattern that schedules a small number of in-range timers per pass therefore consumes stack without ever reaching the bound.An outer loop over the same body removes the depth question and keeps the semantics identical.
♻️ Sketch

The test at Line 85 requires that fake timers are not active. It gets that only because the test at Line 71 reaches

- Around line 4285-4308: In the timer-error handling block around
TakeUncaughtTimerError and DescribeRejectionReason, temporarily root
TimerErrorValue before describing it because TakeUncaughtTimerError clears the
original root. Track whether this scope added the root, keep it active through
DescribeRejectionReason, and remove only the root added by this scope afterward.

- Around line 878-932: Update the promise-driving loop around
HasPendingAtomicsWaitAsyncCompletions so pending Atomics waiters do not
unconditionally skip RunOneRealTimer. Allow runnable real timers to execute
while an async Atomics waiter is pending, while retaining fetch polling behavior
and ensuring timer-driven Atomics.notify can settle the waiter.

- Around line 231-251: Document TGocciaTimersRuntimeExtension as a required
prerequisite for TGocciaVitestCompatRuntimeExtension in docs/testing-api.md,
because its static goccia:timers import cannot function when the timers
extension is absent.

- Around line 45-51: Move the TGocciaTimersRuntimeExtension.Create installation
in the runtime setup to occur after the testing library extension is installed,
preserving the existing extension order otherwise so
TGocciaRuntimeCore.WaitForIdle drains the testing library before timers.

- Around line 880-943: Replace the Boolean dispatching state with a nesting-safe
depth counter for timer entries. Update CallTimer to increment the counter on
entry and decrement it in the finalization path, and change RetireEntry and
FirstRealTimer to test whether DispatchDepth is greater than zero while
preserving existing cleanup behavior.
- Around line 484-518: Update TGocciaTimerQueue.PublishClock and the
TickTo/SetNow flow to validate every millisecond-to-nanosecond conversion before
Round or OverrideClock, including FNow, FMockedDate, and the monotonic
expression. Add a range-specific checked conversion that rejects values outside
Int64 with RangeError, while retaining existing finite-value validation and
ensuring large finite advanceTimersByTime inputs cannot reach SetNow
unvalidated.
- Around line 761-766: Update TGocciaTimerQueue.DiscardTimers so
RetireAllEntries does not clear FUncaughtError or FHasUncaughtError; preserve
the stored uncaught timer error until TakeUncaughtTimerError consumes it, while
retaining timer entry cleanup.

…r surface setTimeout/clearTimeout/setInterval/clearInterval arrive in the test-runner profile backed by a virtual clock that never waits on wall time: fake mode advances through the full vi.* surface with semantics probed case-by-case against the pinned Vitest oracle (ordering, tick nudging, interval rescheduling, the 10000-run abort, per-variant throw behavior, setSystemTime shifting pending due times), and real mode drains due timers at the engine's existing idle points with the same bound — unbounded, convex-test's self-rearming scheduler hangs the drain. Timer callbacks carry the async-context snapshot from registration through the existing seams, the mocked clock rides the host-environment override that Date, Temporal and performance already read, and mode parity is structural. ADR 0113 records the design; ADR 0112's timer scope cut now points at it.
Fix the NaN-clock crash, cross-realm callback execution, the race(fetch,timeout) inversion, throw-at-await corruption, and the timer-queue GC/lifetime hazards found in review; probed against real Vitest. Adds the timers containment and uncaught-attribution CLI checks.
