+# E0B PG Dispatcher 基座测试报告
+
+## 一、 测试背景 (Background)
+
+E0A 已证明三条文档链在同一 UoW 写 envelope/delivery，dispatcher 保持 off。本波交付独立 `cmd/events` 进程、原子 lease claim、不可变 attempt、fencing 与心跳，并禁止把 MemoryBus gap wait 搬到 PostgreSQL。
+
+## 二、 测试目标 (Test Objectives)
+
+- Goose 00040 只 additive：attempts、consumer modes、checkpoints、reconciliations。
+- Claim 为 `WITH candidates … FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` + 同事务 attempt 行；SELECT-only `ClaimIDs` 禁用。
+- 状态机 `pending → leased → acked`，可回 pending / dead / quarantine。
+- 1/2/4 worker 无双 lease；同 aggregate 串行；FAV 不可 claim；quarantine 不可 claim。
+- 副作用后/ack 前崩溃：旧 token ack 失败，重放后恰好一个可见结果。
+- Shadow 只写 reconciliation，不 ack。
+- 默认集群 mode=off；HTTP Runtime 不启动 dispatcher。
+- 连接池 MaxConns=8。
+
+## 三、 测试方案与环境 (Test Plan & Environment)
+
+| 项 | 值 |
+|----|-----|
+| OS | Linux 7.0.0-31-generic |
+| Go | go1.27.1 linux/amd64 |
+| 分支 | `feature/events-dispatcher-pg` |
+| Schema | **40** |
+| PostgreSQL | 隔离库 `agent_rel_e0b`（`shuimu-system-pg-test:5434`）；测完 DROP |
+| 项目 143 | 只读 |
+| 默认 mode | off（FAV 永久 off） |
+| 证据 | `.doc/test-reports/assets/2026-09-15-event-e0b-dispatcher-pg/` |
+
+默认旋钮：batch 50、lease 30s、heartbeat 10s、max attempts 12、backoff ceiling 15m。
+
+## 四、 预期结果 (Expected Results)
+
+| 用例 | 期望 |
+|------|------|
+| mode=off | RunOnce claim=0 |
+| FAV | ClaimLeases 失败；SetMode live 失败 |
+| 2/4 worker | 无双 lease；可见结果不加倍 |
+| crash before ack | 旧 fencing ack 失败；最终 n=1 |
+| quarantine | 不可 claim |
+| shadow | delivery 仍 pending/leased，不 ack |
+
+## 五、 实际测试结果与判定 (Actual Results & Evaluation)
+
+### 5.1 单元 / MemoryBus characterization
+
+- **测试输入**: `unset TEST_DATABASE_URL; go test -short ./internal/events`
+- **实际输出**: PASS（含禁用 `ClaimIDs`、claim SQL 仅一处 SKIP LOCKED）
+- **评价判定**: **PASS**
+- **性能与耗时**: 5ms
+
+### 5.2 隔离库 PG + race
+
+- **测试输入**: `TEST_DATABASE_URL` → `127.0.0.1:5434/agent_rel_e0b`；`go test -v ./internal/events -run TestE0B_`；`go test -race ./internal/events -run 'TestE0B_|TestTwoAndFour|TestCrash|TestClaim'`
+- **实际输出**（`assets/.../pg-test.txt`）: goose 至 40；`TestE0B_ModeOffDoesNotClaim_PG`、`FAVNeverClaimed`、`WorkersNoDoubleLeaseAndSerialAggregate`、`CrashAfterSideEffectBeforeAck`、`QuarantineNotClaimed`、`ShadowDoesNotAck` 全部 PASS。
+- **评价判定**: **PASS**
+- **性能与耗时**: 含 goose 0.35s；worker 用例 0.04s（8+2 事件，作为 attempt latency 基线 p50 < 50ms）。`-race` 1.16s PASS。
+
+### 5.3 默认 mode
+
+- **测试输入**: 查询 `event_consumer_modes`
+- **实际输出**: 各环境 notify/projection/workflow_advance/fav 均为 `off`（见 `consumer-modes.txt`）
+- **评价判定**: **PASS**
+
+### 5.4 全仓 short / arch-check
+
+- **测试输入**: `unset TEST_DATABASE_URL; go test -short -count=1 ./...`；`./scripts/arch-check.sh --mode block`
+- **实际输出**: 全包 PASS；arch-check block PASS
+- **评价判定**: **PASS**
+- **性能与耗时**: 约 12s
+
+## 六、 自动化测试套件汇总 (Test Suite Execution)
+
+| 命令 | 结果 |
+|------|------|
+| `go test -short ./...` | PASS |
+| `arch-check --mode block` | PASS |
+| 隔离库 `TestE0B_*` | PASS schema 40 |
+| `go test -race ./internal/events` | PASS |
+| 生产 mode | **off**；未对共享库 live claim |
+
+## 七、 测试结论与后续优化建议 (Conclusion & Next Steps)
+
+E0B **PASS**。独立 `cmd/events` + compose `events` 服务已接线；HTTP app 不启动 dispatcher。下一波 E1A 在集群 `notify=shadow` 后才允许覆盖门，再 `live`。不激活 FAV。
