The Batcher's connected field (*xsync.Map[types.NodeID, *time.Time])
encoded three states via pointer semantics:
- nil value: node is connected
- non-nil time: node disconnected at that timestamp
- key missing: node was never seen
This was error-prone (nil meaning 'connected' inverts Go idioms),
redundant with b.nodes + hasActiveConnections(), and required keeping
two parallel maps in sync. It also contained a bug in RemoveNode where
new(time.Now()) was used instead of &now, producing a zero time.
Replace the separate connected map with a disconnectedAt field on
multiChannelNodeConn (atomic.Pointer[time.Time]), tracked directly
on the object that already manages the node's connections.
Changes:
- Add disconnectedAt field and helpers (markConnected, markDisconnected,
isConnected, offlineDuration) to multiChannelNodeConn
- Remove the connected field from Batcher
- Simplify IsConnected from two map lookups to one
- Simplify ConnectedMap and Debug from two-map iteration to one
- Rewrite cleanupOfflineNodes to scan b.nodes directly
- Remove the markDisconnectedIfNoConns helper
- Update all tests and benchmarks
Fixes#3141
L8: Rename SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE test constants to idiomatic Go
camelCase. Remove highLoad* and extremeLoad* constants that were
only referenced by disabled (X-prefixed) tests.
L10: Fix misleading assert message that said "1337" while checking
for region ID 999.
L12: Remove emoji from test log output to avoid encoding issues
in CI environments.
Updates #2545
