m11p1 — decoupled ack/ship path: staged writes (seqno+WAL+relay-push,
microseconds) separate from group-commit fsync; ShipQueue batches+windows
outbound segments; receiver coalesces inbound chunks before applying.
Adds first tidaldb_cluster_* metrics.
m11p2 — leader WAL is now THE replicated log: fsynced batches feed a
bounded WalShipFeed and ship byte-identical to followers; WAL seqnos
survive restarts (relay-reset hazard gone). Item metadata and embeddings
journal kind-1/2 blob records on the same stream as signals; the m8p10
HTTP broadcast is deleted. StreamSegments catch-up is follower-pulled via
server-streaming RPC, triggered on gap detection, follower boot, and
leader heal nudge. Promote carries a stream baseline so peers skip
pre-stream history.
Gap analysis + 9-phase plan (m11p1-p9) from the experimental m8p10 cluster to an
enterprise-grade one, grounded in the 2026-06-10 live stress-test baselines:
replicated /signals ~90/s vs sharded 3,669/s vs embedded ~82ns, plus four
live-observed incidents (restart leadership amnesia, side-channel broadcast bugs,
breaker-eaten heal, the 178ms ship) promoted to requirements. Phases: perf floor,
one replicated log, quorum acks (G4), election+fencing (G5), membership/discovery,
sharding x RF, security, observability/ops, chaos CI — each with a testable
Ref-A exit gate; release waves v0.9 credible / v1.0 scalable / v1.1 enterprise.
