Matt Toohey 1893c3ab5a test: dedupe collect_until_eose by event id and uncap two shell tests (#8677)
## Summary

Fixes two CI flakes from the 21–28 Oct 2026 audit, both in test code
with no product change:

- The relay E2E helper `collect_until_eose` now drops repeat copies of
an event id.
- Two Windows shell tests drop a 5 s cap that a cold Git Bash start can
exceed.

This is one of seven PRs split out of the `flakey-tests` branch
(siblings below).

### Related issue

None found for these two. The buzz-terminal `passwd_shell()` `getpwuid`
race
(`env_fence_tests::resolve_shell_falls_through_to_passwd_not_the_default`,
run 38590095289) is left to open PR #7687, which already replaces
`getpwuid`. #8636 and #7976 edit `buzz-test-client/src/lib.rs`, and
#7607 and #7915 edit `buzz-dev-mcp/src/shell.rs`, but none of them
changes `collect_until_eose` or these timeouts.

### Flaky tests fixed

| Test | Failing runs | Cause | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Relay E2E
`e2e_project::test_project_tombstone_deletes_coordinate_and_spares_members`
(e2e_project.rs:338, "left: 2 right: 1") | 40408678412#1, job
121879630394 (PR #8620, schema-only) | The EVENT handler sends OK, then
fans out in a spawned task. `handle_req` registers the live subscription
before its history query, and `req.rs`'s `seen_ids` dedups history rows
only. If fan-out runs after the REQ is registered, the event arrives
once live and once from history, both before EOSE, and
`collect_until_eose` kept every frame. | `collect_until_eose` keeps the
first copy of each event id, as production clients do. Its doc comment
says a test of the relay's own dedup must read frames with `recv_event`.
A new unit test, `collect_until_eose_keeps_one_copy_of_each_event_id`,
uses a fake relay that sends the duplicate. |
| Windows `buzz-dev-mcp` `shell::tests::basic_echo` (shell.rs:1026, exit
124) | 39675698081#1, job 119485363399 (green on re-run) | 124 is the
shell tool's own timeout exit code. `basic_echo` capped the shell at 5
s, and it is one of the first tests in the process to start Git Bash,
which can take longer than 5 s on a cold runner. | `timeout_ms: None`
(the production 120 s default) in `basic_echo` and in
`workdir_is_honored`, which has the same exposure. `timeout_fires` still
covers timeouts. |

Pre-check: no e2e test relies on the relay's own history dedup. Every
exact-count assertion uses a single filter. The NIP-33 "only newest
remains" assertions would see a failed replacement as two different ids,
and this dedup keeps both.

Local evidence is from the original `flakey-tests` commit (fc4518d39):

- The new unit test: FAIL before, PASS after.
- 13 of the 14 e2e files that call the helper, plus `e2e_thread_roots`,
against an isolated local relay. All pass, except `e2e_relay`
`test_unarchive_emits_member_added_notification`. That test fails by
itself 3/5 with the original helper too, and CI's Relay E2E lane doesn't
select it.
- The Windows failure can't be reproduced on macOS. The Windows Rust
lane is the check.

Follow-up (out of scope): make the relay deliver each event id at most
once per subscription, keeping the live/history overlap.

### Verification

This branch was pushed without local re-verification, by the user's
choice: local test runs were overloading the machine and failing for
that reason. **Hosted CI is the check.** It was pushed with `git push
--no-verify`, because the pre-push hook runs clippy and unit tests.

- Both files are byte-identical to their final versions on
`flakey-tests` (67185df6a).
- Checked for this PR: `git diff --check`, `rustfmt --check`, and a
conflict-free merge with all six siblings onto `main`.

### Readiness

Test-only change. AGENTS.md's readiness steps (agent review, then human
confirmation) are still outstanding, so `buzz-review-completed` is not
set.

### Merge order

Independent of the other six. It merges cleanly onto `main`, and with
every sibling, in any order.

### Sibling PRs

Split from `flakey-tests` (one PR per area): #8676 (PostgreSQL lease +
lane), #8678 (mobile), #8679 (Tauri apt cache + Windows Rust cap), #8680
(desktop product races), #8681 (desktop E2E state gates), #8682 (desktop
E2E composer + row actions).
