Explanation
The changed
rejectOnAborthelper lacks focused coverage for a late lookup rejection after cancellation. Its active-signal path attaches a rejection handler topendingso the underlying work can reject after the returned promise has already failed withAbortError. The test “rejects with the provider abort error when the signal aborts first” uses a promise that never settles, and the late-rejection test covers only a signal already aborted beforerejectOnAbortis called. Likewise, Requesty’s model-lookup abort test uses a lookup that never settles. These tests do not exercise the active-signal cancellation path followed by a later model-lookup error. No durable UI change is in scope.Resolution
Add a focused
rejectOnAborttest that calls the helper with an active signal and a deferred pending promise, aborts the signal, then rejects the pending promise. Verify the returned promise stays rejected with the providerAbortErrorand that the late rejection does not produce an unhandled rejection. Optionally cover the same sequence throughRequestyHandler.completePromptwith a deferred model lookup.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation
A cancelled
completePromptleaves model discovery running. Insrc/api/providers/requesty.ts:231,rejectOnAbortraces againstthis.fetchModel()but does not cancel its pending promise.fetchModel()callsgetModelswithout a signal. On a cache miss, the model-cache single-flight therefore keeps this caller attached and the Requesty catalog HTTP request can continue aftercompletePromptrejects. The Requesty fetcher accepts a signal for Axios, and the cache detaches a waiter and aborts the fetch when the last waiter leaves. The changed cancellation path does not use that cleanup, so an otherwise unneeded lookup task can remain active until it settles or hits the cache's 15-second fetch bound.Resolution
Pass the merged cancellation signal from
completePromptthroughfetchModelintogetModels({ ..., signal }). Preserve the cache's shared-flight behavior so cancellation detaches only this caller and aborts the underlying catalog fetch only when no waiters remain. Add a test that aborts during a pending uncached model lookup and verifies that the caller detaches and the sole-waiter fetch receives cancellation.

In `@src/api/providers/__tests__/requesty.spec.ts`:
- Around line 792-797: Update the pre-aborted request test around
handler.completePrompt to assert that mockCreate was not called after the
AbortError rejection. Preserve the existing error assertions and align the check
with the sibling lookup-abort test.
- Around line 769-774: Update the request creation assertion in the requesty
test to also require that createOptions includes a forwarded signal when
timeoutMs is 5000 and no caller signal is provided. Preserve the existing
timeout assertion and verify signal presence or the merged timeout signal
behavior so regressions that omit signal forwarding fail.
In `@src/api/providers/requesty.ts`:
- Line 266: Update the abort error creation in both abort paths of the relevant
method to pass this.providerName instead of the hardcoded "Requesty" literal,
matching the existing path that already uses the provider field.
In `@src/api/providers/utils/__tests__/abort-signal.spec.ts`:
- Line 87: Update both detach tests around rejectOnAbort to spy on
addEventListener, capture the registered handler, and assert removeEventListener
is called with that exact handler reference instead of expect.any(Function).
- Around line 65-67: Strengthen the already-aborted branch assertion in the
rejectOnAbort test to verify the rejection message as well as name, matching
createAbortError("TestProvider") and preserving the expected provider-specific
abort error contract.
- Around line 19-35: Extract the duplicated withSettleGuard helper, including
its 500ms default and Stryker guard behavior, into a shared utility under
src/test-utils/. Remove the local definitions from both specs and import the
shared helper in each, preserving the existing API and behavior.

…aborted CodeRabbit finding at 2d12c01: rejectOnAbort returned early on an already-aborted signal without attaching a handler to pending, so a later rejection of the in-flight work surfaced as an unhandled rejection. The early return now consumes it; the test asserts no unhandled rejection is reported.
Zoo-Code-Org#1651 landed, so the shared abort-signal helpers and the settle-guard helper are the single implementations: this branch's duplicate copies are dropped and the requesty unit now calls the landed helpers. 66 tests pass unchanged.

This PR carries the shared helper +

The unit lands above the 400 soft design target because the helper's kill tests (withSettleGuardsettle-race coverage) and thecompletePromptabort handling are inseparable: the helper exists only for the phases these changes add, and splitting the helper from its coverage would orphan the kill tests.
