🐛 Make @effectionx/nodeonce() scope-bound

[taras]

Closes#251

Motivation

once() from @effectionx/node/events registered its listener in the ordinary
function call, before returning the operation, and removed it only from inside
the listener itself. Two consequences:

• Constructing the operation registered a listener even if it was never
  interpreted.
• A halted scope left the listener attached. A losing once() branch in a
  race() is the common case: the race settles, the loser is halted, and its
  listener stays registered on the emitter, firing into a dead scope.

This contradicted the Scope-Bound Event Registration policy,
which names this operation as the compliant alternative to
EventEmitter.prototype.once().

Approach

once() now returns a reusable { *[Symbol.iterator]() } operation. Nothing is
registered until it is interpreted; the listener is registered inside the
generator frame and removed in a synchronous finally around the wait, so it is
removed on the event, on failure, and on halt alike. Public shape is unchanged —
still an array of emitter arguments, or a single-element array holding the event
for EventTargets — as is the null-target behaviour of suspending forever.

node/events.test.ts covers both source styles: construction registers nothing,
interpretation registers exactly one listener, the listener is gone before the
operation's owner continues, halting deregisters it, and a losing race() branch
is deregistered when the race settles. Five of the eight new tests fail against
the previous implementation.

Bumps @effectionx/node to 0.2.5. workspace:* is replaced with an exact
version at publish time, so @effectionx/process (0.8.3) and @effectionx/watch
(0.4.7) are bumped as well — without releases of their own the fix would not
reach consumers of those packages.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved event-listener handling so listeners are registered only when needed and reliably removed when events complete, operations stop, or competing operations lose.
  • Ensured consistent behavior across supported event target types.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for listener registration, event delivery, cleanup, task interruption, and race conditions.

• Chores

  • Updated the package version to 0.2.5.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The once operation now registers listeners lazily during interpretation and removes them when the event completes, the operation fails, or its scope halts. Tests cover EventEmitter and EventTarget behavior. The node package version changes to 0.2.5.

Changes

Scope-bound once operation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Lazy once implementation node/events.ts, node/package.json	once now registers listeners only when interpreted and removes them through finally after completion, failure, or scope halt. The package version changes to 0.2.5.
Listener lifecycle regression coverage node/events.test.ts	Tests cover lazy registration, event delivery, completion cleanup, halt cleanup, and losing race branches for EventEmitter and EventTarget.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to edcc3

The once() lifecycle change can leave a listener active during re-entrant event delivery, permitting duplicate callback invocation, and its error-path cleanup lacks independent coverage. Resolve these lifecycle gaps before merge.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The implementation and tests satisfy issue #251. They provide lazy registration, synchronous cleanup on completion and halt, race-loser deregistration, preserved result behavior, and coverage for EventEmitter and EventTarget sources.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Policy Compliance

Explanation

No Strict or Recommended policy violation was introduced. The changed once() implementation uses a reusable iterator, named listeners, and synchronous finally cleanup with matching off()/removeEventListener() calls. It does not use emitter .once() or { once: true }. node/package.json changes version 0.2.4 to patch version 0.2.5, and its description and keywords meet the metadata policy. The commit message and authored PR description contain no prohibited AI marketing material. Added JSDoc and test-helper comments explain public or external behavior rather than restating adjacent code.
