Deactivating a node mid-cycle with pending inputs and a missing barrel or hopper traps the server thread in an infinite refund loop. refund() returns without decrementing inputCounter, so deActivate() immediately retries forever. Main's 2026-09-24 watchdog dumps repeatedly show confirmClick -> deActivate -> refund -> update before shutdown.

Stop the loop when a refund does not reduce the pending input count. The node stays inactive and retains the unpaid counter. Its status button becomes Retry Refund: after restoring the barrel and hopper, players can collect their refund without starting or paying for another cycle. Activation also retries pending refunds before allowing a new cycle.

While a refund is pending, the management menus block production-method/type changes, upgrades, downgrades, capacity purchases, transfers, and deletion. Guards also cover already-open submenus and stale deletion/type-change confirmations. Refunds include inputs consumed before the first production tick. Menu actions only accept clicks in the top inventory, preventing player-inventory clicks from triggering node actions. Normal successful refunds and activation without a pending refund retain their existing behavior.

Validation:

  • The initial no-progress and partial-failure regression tests fail against the original loop. A bounded test double prevents hanging the test JVM.
  • Added refund-state and activation tests plus menu tests for retries, blocked edits, stale confirmations/submenus, and ordinary activation routing. Mockito is test-only.
  • mvn -B --no-transfer-progress clean verify -DskipTests=false -Dmaven.test.skip=false: all 29 tests pass.
  • Runtime JAR validation and git diff --check pass.

This change has not been deployed to a Minecraft server.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Nodes with incomplete refunds can now retry the refund instead of starting a new cycle. Nodes remain inactive until the refund is complete.
    • Players are prompted to restore the barrel and hopper before retrying a refund. Changes to a node are blocked while a refund is pending, except for actions needed to retry or navigate.
    • Clicks outside the menu are ignored, preventing unintended node actions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Node detects interrupted refunds and stops refund attempts when pending inputs do not decrease. Node menus let players retry refunds and block other node-changing actions while refunds remain pending.

Changes

Pending refund handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track and retry pending refunds
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/dowsing/objects/Node.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/dowsing/objects/NodeDeactivationTest.java
Node identifies pending refunds and retries deactivation instead of activation. Deactivation stops refund attempts if pending inputs do not decrease. Tests cover failed, partial, complete, and empty refunds, as well as retry state.
Expose retries and block node changes
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/dowsing/managers/InventoryManager.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/dowsing/managers/NodeManager.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/dowsing/managers/NodeRefundMenuTest.java, pom.xml
Status items display refund recovery instructions. Node-changing menu actions are blocked while a refund is pending, and the status control retries deactivation. Tests cover blocked actions and retry outcomes. Mockito is added as a test dependency.

A rabbit checks the node’s old flow
And waits for refunds to complete
If inputs stay, it tries once more
The menus show the path to take
No new cycle starts too soon
Then hops away on steady feet

for inactive nodes with pending inputs before calling activate() to start a new
cycle; preserve the existing activate() path when no refund is pending.

the view’s top inventory before dispatching slot actions or calling
blockPendingRefund; return for lower-inventory clicks so they cannot trigger

zero by changing their lower-bound condition to accept zero while retaining the
existing upper bound. Apply this to the inactive-node refund predicate and the
cycleTime check in the refund method.
