/**
 * @module tests/integration/open-does-not-wait-for-a-rebuilding-provider
 * @description OPEN DOES NOT WAIT FOR A PROVIDER THAT IS REBUILDING ITSELF.
 *
 * Measured on a production store: a metadata provider that had to rebuild made
 * `init()` pay the ENTIRE rebuild on the foreground — 641 seconds — with every
 * other family idle behind it, because a provider reporting `serving: false`
 * because it is BUSY BUILDING and one reporting `serving: false` because it is
 * BROKEN were indistinguishable, and both were answered the same way: call
 * `rebuild()`, and wait.
 *
 * The law: a provider that reports `rebuildInProgress()` owns its own rebuild.
 * `init()` returns; every other family serves; THAT family's doors refuse by
 * name, carrying the provider's own progress; and the doors open by themselves
 * when the provider reports serving. Nothing is ever served empty.
