# Phase 3: The Healer Protocol - Sync Fix Patch
# =============================================
# This patch implements a Reliable Messaging pattern with Acknowledgement Loop
# to solve the "Visual Ghost Bug" identified in Phase 2.
#
# Pattern: msg_id + confirmed status + automatic retry
#
# Files Modified:
# - src/store.ts: ACK Loop implementation
# - src/App.tsx: Fixed message echo loop
# - tests/dashboard.spec.ts: Fixed shared shadowUser race condition
# - tests/chaos-recovery.spec.ts: Fixed fault injection timing

## store.ts - Reliable Messaging Implementation
## =============================================
# Key changes:
# 1. ReliableMessage interface with msg_id, senderId, attempts tracking
# 2. pendingMessages Map to track unconfirmed messages
# 3. handleReliableMessage() to process incoming messages WITHOUT re-broadcasting
# 4. acknowledgeMessage() to send ACKNOWLEDGEMENT messages
# 5. ACK_TIMEOUT_MS = 300ms, MAX_RETRY_ATTEMPTS = 5

## App.tsx - Echo Loop Fix
## =============================================
# Problem: When receiving NODE_STATE_CHANGE, setNodeState() was called
#          which re-broadcasts the message, causing infinite loop.
# Fix: Use handleReliableMessage() which updates state WITHOUT re-broadcasting

## dashboard.spec.ts - ShadowUser Race Condition Fix

# Fix: Each test creates/cleans up its own ShadowUser with try/finally
