Thanks for this @Abel-et — and you did claim #57 first, so it's yours. tests/test_snapshot.py is real work on the part that matters: four of those five tests exercise the contract properly, and the log-cursor one in particular gets the dropped/begin arithmetic right, which is the easiest part of snapshot() to get wrong.

I can't merge it as it stands, though, because most of the diff is not what the description says it is. I checked each bullet against the diff rather than taking the summary's word for it:

• "Added browser routing regression tests" — tests/test_engine.py is an empty file (+0 −0, blob e69de29). There are no browser-routing tests anywhere in this PR. The tests/conftest.py change is whitespace only: reflowing a dict literal and a monkeypatch.setattr call.
• "Stabilized engine counters and log cursor behavior" — the moon_engine.py diff touches no counter and no cursor code. snapshot() (moon_engine.py:556-614) and start()'s reset block (moon_engine.py:462-472) are both untouched.
• "Verified CLI and engine share extraction/download flow" — nothing in the diff does this.

Please make the description match the diff. I quote PR descriptions in the changelog, and I'd be crediting you with work that isn't here.

Now the changes to moon_engine.py, which are the blocking part:

1. _LOG_MAX_LINES stops being a class attribute. It moves from 4 spaces to 8, landing after the return in _get() — so it becomes an unreachable local assignment instead of Engine._LOG_MAX_LINES. To be fair to you: nothing in the repo reads it today, so this doesn't break anything at runtime. But that makes it worse, not better — it turns a named constant into dead code buried inside an unrelated method. If it should go, delete it in its own PR and I'll take that.

2. The _cfg dict is reindented to column 0 and loses its comments. It still parses (it's inside braces, so the indentation is legal), but moon_engine.py:99-100 explained why the defaults are 8 lanes and a 30s captcha wait — that they were asked for by the operator, not by the library. That's the kind of comment I can't reconstruct later. The key alignment goes too.

3. log() loses its docstring and changes its default tag from "" to "info". Every internal caller passes a tag explicitly, so no test in this PR covers the change. A public-surface behaviour change with no stated reason and no test is the opposite of what this PR is for — it's meant to pin the front-end contract, not move it.

4. _log() is dead code. Nothing in the repo or in this PR calls it.

5. .github/workflows/lint.yml — pytest → python -m pytest isn't needed: tests/conftest.py:10-11 already does sys.path.insert(0, ROOT), which is why that job is green on main today.

There is a real gap next to it, if you want it: the syntax-check job byte-compiles an explicit file list that stops at tests/test_no_chrome.py, so your new test file never gets compiled. Adding tests/test_snapshot.py to that compileall list would make the workflow change earn its place.

Smaller things in test_snapshot.py:

• import time is unused.
• No blank lines between test_snapshot_log_cursor_returns_only_new_logs and test_start_resets_previous_run_counters, and no trailing newline (same in conftest.py). Nothing fails on this — there's no ruff in CI yet, that's #26 — but it's worth fixing.
• test_start_resets_previous_run_counters really does run start(), which calls _moon_extract.configure() and _PROXY_POOL.load() for real (moon_engine.py:476-483). Your _guarded_run stub does work — the thread target resolves the attribute at call time — so no worker thread runs, but the test still mutates global extractor state and reads proxies.txt off disk. Worth stubbing those two as well.

What I'd merge: keep tests/test_snapshot.py, revert moon_engine.py to main, delete the empty tests/test_engine.py, revert the conftest.py formatting churn, and either drop the lint.yml change or turn it into the compileall fix above. That's a clean PR that closes #57, and I'll take it as soon as it's pushed.

@Abel-et — not chasing you, the five-day window is nowhere near up. This is information you cannot see from your branch and that changes the cheapest way to finish.

moon_engine.py has moved three times since you opened this, and two of them touch the exact lines your diff does:

#71	annotated the three except Exception: handlers in moon_engine.py — including the two your diff rewrites
#73	added _t_end around snapshot() and start()
#108	changed the dispatcher in _browser_worker

So "revert moon_engine.py to main" — what I asked for in the review — is now a conflicted merge rather than a clean undo. That is my fault for not saying it earlier, not yours.

The cheap path, and what I would do: branch fresh from current main and add tests/test_snapshot.py alone. Nothing else from this PR needs to survive — the engine edits were the part that was blocking, the empty tests/test_engine.py was going anyway, and the lint.yml change was superseded by #77, which fixed the same file properly.

I checked your test file against current main and it should still pass unchanged. test_snapshot_initial_state_is_idle still gets elapsed_s == 0.0 after #73 (both t_end and t0 start at zero), the stage transitions are untouched, and start() still resets the counters your last test asserts on. So it really is a copy across, not a rewrite.

Two things worth folding in while you are there, both from my original review and both small:

• drop the unused import time
• put blank lines between the last two test functions, and a trailing newline on the file

Your snapshot tests are the reason I want this merged — #57 has been open a while and nobody else has touched it. Open the new PR whenever suits you and close this one, or push over this branch if you prefer; either is fine.

@Abel-et — the five days I mentioned are up today. I am not closing this, and I want to be clear why: you did the work. tests/test_snapshot.py is good and #57 is still open because of it.

The offer from 1 August stands and has only got easier. Branch fresh from main, add that one file, and close this — nothing else here needs to survive. Since I wrote that, moon_engine.py has taken two more changes (#122, #132 pending), so the revert I originally asked for has drifted further out of reach while the copy-across has not moved at all.

I re-checked your test file against current main and it still passes unchanged.

Three ways this can go, all fine:

1. Open the new pull request whenever suits you — days or weeks, the issue stays yours.
2. Tell me you would rather not, and I will free test: Engine.snapshot() has no unit tests, and it is the contract every front-end depends on #57 without a word of complaint.
3. Say nothing, and I will leave test: Engine.snapshot() has no unit tests, and it is the contract every front-end depends on #57 assigned to you rather than reassign it — a claim with real work behind it is not the case the five-day rule was written for.

The rule exists so an issue nobody is working on does not sit frozen. You worked on it. That is a different situation and I am treating it as one.
