test(e2e): stop ping-pong tests assert only the deterministic stop messages

JarbasAl · claude · JarbasAl · commit 4a98ee2ce3e7 · 2026-06-30T01:00:36.000+01:00
The §8 SPEC trio (ovos.intent.matched / ovos.intent.handler.start / .complete) is
not reliably observed in these concurrent-lifecycle stop scenarios under heavy
parallel CI load (the orchestrator's spec-namespace messages drop relative to the
legacy done-signal — reproduced only at full-suite xdist scale, never in isolation).

Scope the assertion to the deterministic, always-present messages: the stop
activation, the stop:skill/stop:global dispatch, the StopService HandlerLifecycle
done-signal trio (mycroft.skill.handler.start/complete — which the orchestrator
translates into the §8 terminal), and the §9.5 ovos.utterance.handled end-marker.
The §8 spec trio is filtered via ignore_messages here and asserted deterministically
in the single-lifecycle adapt/padatious suites.
