[$45 BOUNTY] [Go] Add WebSocket hub lifecycle tests

[jackjin1997]

Bounty: $45 (LT)

Area: market/ws/server.go

Current state: The WebSocket hub manages client registration, unregister, ping/pong deadlines, and broadcast fan-out, but there is no focused test coverage for lifecycle behavior. The broadcast path also removes slow clients from Hub.clients while holding RLock, so the expected cleanup behavior should be covered before further changes.

What is needed: Add Go tests for the WebSocket hub lifecycle and tighten the slow-client cleanup path if the tests expose the locking issue.

Acceptance criteria:

• Cover client registration and unregister removing clients exactly once.
• Cover broadcast delivery to active clients.
• Cover slow/full client send buffers being removed without mutating Hub.clients under a read lock.
• Cover ping/write loop shutdown or close behavior where practical without long sleeps.
• Keep the change scoped to market/ws lifecycle logic and tests.

Required validation:

• Run go test ./market/ws or the closest package-level Go test command available in this repo.
• Run python3 build.py.
• Include the generated diagnostic/build-*.logd artifact from diagnostic/; include the matching diagnostic/build-*.json if present.
• Use .github/pull_request_template.md for the submission.

I'd like to take this on! Reviewing the repository right now and will submit a PR shortly.

This adds focused WebSocket hub lifecycle tests and fixes the slow-client cleanup path so Hub.clients is not mutated while only holding RLock.

Validation note: local go test ./market/ws could not run because this Windows runner does not have Go installed. I included diagnostic/build-00000000.json from python3 build.py -m market, which records the same missing-Go toolchain limitation.

Deliverables for This Bounty

I'll implement comprehensive Go tests for the WebSocket hub lifecycle in market/ws/:

1. Registration/Unregister Tests — Verify clients are added and removed exactly once from Hub.clients
2. Broadcast Delivery Tests — Confirm messages reach all active clients correctly
3. Slow-Client Cleanup Tests — Critical: expose and fix the RLock mutation issue when removing clients with full send buffers (will refactor to use proper write lock if tests confirm the race)
4. Ping/Write Loop Shutdown Tests — Test graceful close behavior without relying on long sleeps

If the tests expose the locking issue (mutating Hub.clients under RLock), I'll tighten the cleanup path with a proper fix.

Validation: Will run go test ./market/ws, execute python3 build.py, and include the diagnostic/build-*.logd artifact (and .json if generated). PR will follow .github/pull_request_template.md.

Timeline: 24-48 hours
