Fixes two bugs found during self-correction before publishing:
- /stream used Flux.interval(), which ticks on its own wall-clock schedule
independent of downstream demand and threw OverflowException under a slow
subscriber; switched to Flux.range(), which has no independent production
schedule and can never outrun demand.
- The event-loop-starvation test's first cut used only 8 concurrent /cpu
requests as background load, which drained through the 4 event-loop
threads well inside the /io measurement window and produced an
inconsistent, sometimes-inverted result across runs; raised to 60
concurrent requests (matching the CPU-bound benchmark's own concurrency)
so the load actually occupies the event loop for the full window.
Also adds StreamBackpressureTest, a StepVerifier proof that the /stream
endpoint never emits ahead of its subscriber's outstanding requests.
Three replicas of one application against one PostgreSQL database, proving
duplicate @Scheduled execution and then removing it with ShedLock: 24
executions where 8 were due, then 7 for 7 ticks.
Also measured: @SchedulerLock without @EnableSchedulerLock does nothing and
warns about nothing; spring.task.scheduling.pool.size=1 does not starve a
fixedRate job but delays it and fires 35 of 40 executions in a burst; and a
node whose clock is 40 seconds fast takes a live lock unless the provider
uses usingDbTime().
Every @Async behaviour that surprises people, asserted by a test and captured
to docs/output/: the self-invocation trap, what CGLIB cannot override, the
IllegalArgumentException a plain return type throws, the unbounded queue that
makes max-size decoration, spring.task.execution.propagate-context (new in
Boot 4.1.0), the two Executor beans that leave @Async on an unpooled
SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor, and JEP 491 measured on JDK 21 against JDK 25.
