fix: Hot reload no longer patches unchanged methods when it runs right after a domain reload - #3195
Conversation
The snapshot is captured on the Editor's first update tick after a domain reload, but a request that waited out the reload can read the snapshot before that tick runs. This gate lets every reader make sure the capture ran first, while still capturing only once per domain. A capture that throws is not marked done, so the next caller retries.
The capture gate now lives on the hot-reload services, and the Editor's first update tick captures through it instead of calling the snapshotter directly. This keeps one capture per domain once the apply entry checks the same gate. Tests that build services directly get a gate that captures nothing, and the services test scope can substitute the gate like the other collaborators.
A request that waited out a domain reload runs before the Editor's first update tick, where the snapshot capture is scheduled, so it read no snapshot for the newly compiled assemblies. These tests pin that the default selection and the run both see a completed capture, and that --status does not capture. The two capture tests fail until the entry makes sure of the capture.
A request that waited out a domain reload ran before the Editor's first update tick, so it found no snapshot for the newly compiled assemblies, warned "No verified source snapshot", and patched every method of the file. The apply entry now makes sure the capture of this domain ran before the default selection and the run read the snapshot. --status, --revert-all and validation failures return before it and read none.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A failed first-tick capture is not retried on later editor ticks, so a source edit made before the next apply could be treated as unchanged. This is an edge case with a small fix; owner awareness is enough before merging.

Keep the capture callback registered until capture succeeds.
If the first-tick capture throws before the target assembly is snapshotted, an apply after a source edit can retry capture and snapshot the edited bytes. The omitted-files detector then treats the edit as unchanged and returns NoChangedFiles.

No verified source snapshot … patching all methods, patches methods that did not change, or leaves Auto Refresh held because of that.User Impact
uloop hot-reloadcould read the source snapshot of a newly compiled assembly before that snapshot was captured. It then warnedNo verified source snapshot for <file> (assembly <asm>); patching all methods., patched every method of the file (even with no edit since the compile), and the remaining patches kept Auto Refresh held.Problem and cause
