The fixture used the wrong env var name (SOULSYNC_DB_PATH) when trying
to redirect ConfigManager at a tmp directory. ConfigManager actually
reads DATABASE_PATH (config/settings.py:49), so the test ConfigManager
loaded — and then saved — at the user's real database/music_library.db.
The retry stub in test_lock_errors_during_retries_log_at_debug_not_error
calls the real _save_to_database after its mocked failures, which then
clobbered the encrypted app_config row with the test fixture's stub
payload {"plex": {"base_url": "http://example.test"}}.
Three layers of fix so this can't happen again:
- Use the correct env var (DATABASE_PATH).
- Pin mgr.database_path / mgr.config_path on the instance after
construction, so the test fixture's tmp paths win even if
ConfigManager's resolution logic changes.
- Assert the resolved database_path is rooted under tmp_path before
returning the fixture, so the test refuses to run if it would touch
a non-tmp DB.
Pin the new save-retry contract so future changes can't silently
re-introduce the spam reported in #434:
- Happy-path saves emit zero ERROR logs.
- Transient locks during retries log at DEBUG, not ERROR.
- Six attempts run before giving up, with the documented backoff
schedule (0.2 + 0.5 + 1.0 + 2.0 + 4.0s).
- Genuine exhaustion logs a single ERROR and writes config.json.
- sqlite3.OperationalError("database is locked") routes to DEBUG;
any other OperationalError still logs ERROR.
- _connect_db() actually applies WAL + busy_timeout + synchronous=NORMAL.
Also moves `import time` from inside _save_config to the module
top so the tests can monkeypatch sleep cleanly.
