9523f6da43 test(e2e): verify ranking semantics with a content-feed app, and route three product findings
The existing 32 checks prove the deployment answers -- TLS, auth, quorum commit,
convergence, isolation, dashboards, backups. Not one wrote a signal and observed
an order change, so VISION.md:17 "Ranking is not a feature. It is a primitive."
was unverified. This adds a 60-item content-feed app and five assertions that
verify the product's semantics, on a hermetic standalone node.

Added
- tests/e2e/app/: fixture contract (60 items, 4 categories, each owning one
  unoccupied 100-id embedding cluster), a deep-module harness owning the whole
  lifecycle behind startApp(), the product page, and an app:dev entry point.
- tidal-stress/src/bin/feed-fixture.rs: seeds the catalog and emits brute-force
  ground truth, reusing recall::embedding_for rather than adding a third copy of
  the corpus generator (tidal/src/db/items.rs already holds a second).
- GroundTruth::from_ids: the oracle now serves sparse id sets. build() delegates,
  so there is no transient copy even at 1M, and top_k indexes positionally.
- 10-ranking-semantics.spec.ts (5 hermetic checks) and
  11-ranking-integrity.spec.ts (2 cluster tripwires).
- playwright.semantics.config.ts + CAP-016 demo beat (walkthrough 82s -> 90s).

Measured, not merely green
- like: index 59 -> 0, like_boost 2.0, with no sleep between write and read.
- decay: implied half-lives 7.0007 d and 14.0014 d against a schema declaring
  7 d and 14 d, recovered from a 4-second window via H = t*ln2 / -ln(v2/v1) and
  compared against the schema the node actually loaded, not a hardcoded copy.
- ANN: top-10 identical to brute-force cosine on all four probes; self-distance
  0.0148-0.0197 against a 0.05 tolerance.
- rank: dense 1..60 on standalone vs [1,1,1,2,2,3,4,3,4,5,6,5] on the cluster.

Three product findings, pinned and routed to @tidal-engineer
- BUG-018 (High) skip is durably accepted and query-time inert. Penalty is fully
  implemented (ranking/profile.rs:227 -> executor/signal_values.rs:183, labelled
  {signal}_penalty at executor/mod.rs:65) but skeleton() sets penalties: vec![]
  (ranking/builtins.rs:62) and none of the 27 built-ins overrides it. So
  VISION.md:187 "negative signals are equal citizens" holds for no shipped
  profile. Same anti-pattern as the reseed defects and scatter_merge: a guard
  present on one path, absent on its sibling.
- BUG-019 (Medium) three built-ins read signals this schema does not declare --
  trending/share_velocity, hidden_gems/completion, controversial/dislike -- so
  those terms are permanently 0 and trending ranks on view_velocity alone.
- BUG-020 (Low) for_you declares Scan{sort_field:"created_at"} but ignores a
  created_at metadata value; an order matching neither id-asc nor
  created_at-desc came back strictly id-ascending.

Two assertions therefore report a gap rather than a success, written as tripwires
whose failure message says what to do when the gap closes. The rank defect is
localised, not fixed: scatter_merge (cluster/node.rs:7542) returns a merged slice
without re-stamping rank while scores stay correctly ordered, so the fault is the
missing stamp and not the merge's sort.

Notes
- Hermetic by construction: its own config, because FullConfig.projects is not
  filtered by --project and globalSetup publishes credentials into the main
  process that forked workers inherit -- so a setup project cannot replace it,
  and weakening globalSetup would destroy the fail-loud behaviour that is its
  purpose. Verified with KUBECONFIG=/nonexistent and all E2E_* unset.
- Never touches the deployed corpus: skip is permanent: true, so seeding it into
  production would be irreversible.
- The page contains no sort, no hostname and no credential; the harness proxy
  injects auth server-side so no bearer reaches a browser or a capture.
- Schema comes from k8s/cluster/schema-configmap.yaml, asserted at 1536 dims;
  tidal-server/config/default-schema.yaml declares 128 and would 422 every write.

Verification: 5 semantics + 34 regression + 10 demo captures green; tsc clean;
tidal-stress clippy clean under clippy::all=deny with unwrap_used=deny; 2101
tidaldb lib tests; preflight 10/10 perfect; render 90.05s/2700 frames with zero
empty boundary frames; zero orphan processes or temp dirs after teardown.

c97aaa8e5b fleet remediation: make the workspace gate runnable, then fix what it caught
`cargo test --workspace` could not run at all: dependency resolution failed with
"aws-types@1.3.16 requires rustc 1.91.1" on the 1.91.0 default toolchain, so the
gate the project documents was dead. Making it run exposed a compile break and
two wrong tests that had been invisible for months. Now green end to end:
143 suites, 3155 tests, exit 0.

Toolchain
- rust-toolchain.toml pins the DEV toolchain to 1.91.1. The published MSRV stays
  `rust-version = "1.91"` (the engine builds on 1.91.0); only tidalctl's AWS SDK
  chain needs the patch release, and it now declares that itself.

Consumer crates migrated to the current engine API (clean cutover)
- iknowyou-engine: `AgentPolicy` gained five m10 read/profile-override fields;
  the literal now spreads `..AgentPolicy::default()` as the engine's own doc
  example does, so future fields do not break it again.
- forage-engine: `RetrieveResult` gained p1 `reasons`. The app builds its own
  candidate pool, so it now tags what it knows: PreferenceMatch for the
  preference-vector blend, SemanticMatch (with the seed item) for
  similar-to-saved, ExplorationBudget for pinned discoveries.
- forage-engine: `url_to_item_id` folded into the u32 item universe. The engine
  narrows item IDs to a u32 slot in durable per-user state and rejects anything
  above u32::MAX rather than alias two items forever, so every add_item with a
  64-bit FNV hash failed. 9 of 28 smoke tests were failing on this alone.
- forage-engine: bridge items read the top-2 preference CLUSTERS via
  `query_vectors`, not the single centroid from `preference_vectors().get()`.
  Since m12 that accessor returns only the strongest cluster, so a tech+jazz user
  whose interests split into two clusters looked single-interest and never
  bridged. Falls back to top-2 dimensions when a user has one cluster.

Reconcile tests corrected to the shipped contract
- tidal/tests/m8p3_reconcile_production.rs asserted `3 + 5 == 8` for a windowed
  count after heal. `take_crdt_snapshot` deliberately keys signal contributions
  to ONE canonical contributor (ShardId::SINGLE) because signals are relayed from
  a single writer, so per-node attribution double-counted every replicated event
  on every reconcile. Merge is therefore LWW on (last_update_ns, score) plus
  PN-counter per-node max: nodes converge on the more complete accumulator. The
  old expectation was asserting the bug that fix removed.
- Rewrote to assert convergence, count survival (not 0), and no inflation, and
  added `repeated_reconcile_of_converged_nodes_does_not_creep` - the regression
  guard for the creep itself, which nothing covered.

Pre-commit hook unified
- hooks/pre-commit dropped `-D warnings`: each crate's `[lints]` table is the
  source of truth (`clippy::all`/`unwrap_used` deny, `pedantic` warn), and the
  flag promoted ~58 deliberate pedantic warnings in integration tests to errors,
  making every Rust commit impossible.
- It now lints all five tidal crates instead of path-matching `tidal/`, which
  silently skipped tidal-server, tidal-net, tidal-stress, tidalctl and
  applications/ - the rot above lived in exactly those crates. Ported the
  CODING_GUIDELINES file-length, println, and unsafe-SAFETY checks from the
  divergent untracked copy that this replaces.
- CONTRIBUTING.md now documents the real commands and the toolchain/MSRV split.

Fleet recovery and soak
- scripts/restore-fleet.sh: the fail-closed selective restore, promoted out of an
  ignored tmp/ directory into the repository. Preflights retained storage,
  digest-pinned images, parked state, and aggregate plus per-PV-node scheduler
  headroom before the first scale; writes a durable transcript under
  tmp/restore-logs/ with structured start/error/rollback/complete events.
- k8s manifests park the standalone store, the RF3 cluster, and the soak monitor
  at zero replicas with restore-fleet.sh as the only supported scale-up path.
- soak-eval/soak-watch and the nightly CronJob fail closed on stale or missing
  restart evidence instead of silently skipping the restart-aware half of the gate.
- docs/ops/capacity-planning.md corrects the RAM envelope to the real hot-tier
  formula and separates analytic totals from the measured process envelope.

1b5bcbacd7 fix(net): classify ship deadline as timeout, not partition (write-burst false-partition)
A client-side ship DEADLINE means the RPC did not round-trip within
request_timeout — which a slow-but-ALIVE follower produces under a sustained
1536-D ack=quorum apply burst (transport runtime momentarily starved by the
CPU-heavy HNSW apply on its single segment-receiver thread) exactly as a
genuinely blackholed peer does. Counting that as record_failure was the
write-burst false-partition: 5 such opened both followers' breakers, the commit
index stalled, ack=quorum 503'd, and retries re-burst the same starved peers
with no self-heal.

- CircuitBreaker::record_timeout: opens ONLY when the peer shows no recent proof
  of life (no round-tripped success/backpressure within reset_duration); neutral
  no-op when liveness is fresh; re-opens (never wedges) HalfOpen; never refreshes
  the liveness stamp (no reply arrived).
- PeerPool::send_to routes tonic DeadlineExceeded/Cancelled -> record_timeout;
  genuine severance still surfaces as connect-level Unavailable/transport reset
  -> record_failure and still opens the breaker.
- ship_timeout_breaker.rs: end-to-end proof over a REAL tonic WalShipping server
  (handler succeeds once then hangs past the client deadline) + 6 unit tests.

Also: re-scope G-S Scalability guarantee to read-throughput with the Ref-A
tidal-t5-readtput owner-test (write 2.5x is structurally impossible on 3-node
full-placement RF3); bump k8s image to m12-rc6 (live, commit 0919b0a); rustfmt
soak_eval / soak-eval / s3 / tidalctl.

580142df49 feat(m12): election-divergence-fix + soak-eval streak + release tooling
Durable `leader_acked` frontier in `ShardReplica` tracks the highest seqno
acked under `ack=leader` (journal-only, un-replicated); `decide_join` now
quarantines on THIS node's own frontier rather than comparing stream numbers
across stream boundaries — eliminates false-quarantine churn on rolling
restarts. `SHUTDOWN_HANDOFF_WAIT` (3s) drains the leader's tail to quorum
before step-down so the next leader inherits a clean prefix. New
`load_leader_acked`/`persist_leader_acked` helpers; `cluster_reseed.rs` gains
the divergence-fix regression suite; `replication_ops.rs` threads the signal.

Soak-eval: `tidal_stress::soak_eval` + `soak-eval` binary implement the
30-night streak (ledger.tsv × restarts.tsv → streak.tsv); monitor and nightly
CronJob k8s YAMLs updated; phase-9 doc clarifies the dual-stream streak
definition (ledger PASS AND zero pod restarts in window). `run-reliability.sh`
gates the election-divergence suite before any k8s push.

Release tooling: `docker/release/` multi-stage Dockerfile + DR image;
`scripts/build-release.sh` single repeatable cross-compile+buildx path.

727fbfcb6b fix(m12p6): 6-bug k3s 3-shard cluster repair (rc8+rc9)
Root-caused and fixed five sharding bugs exposed on the real k3s 3-shard
cluster (rc5→rc7), plus a divergent-rejoin reseed loop found in rc9:

1. reseed shard-awareness (Bug 3, keystone): `run_boot_install_for_region`
   visits each hosted group's own shard subdir; per-group leader discovery
   appends `?shard=N` so a divergent shard heals from its own leader (not
   shard-0's WAL/term — cross-shard contamination).
2. leader self-join term (Bug 4): `become_leader_for_term` now calls
   `note_self_won_term` so the elected shard's `joined_term` is set and
   `cluster_promote` routes rebalances correctly (was: topology-era mis-read
   → legacy fenced promote → 500).
3. boot self-heal self-pull guard (Bug 2): `leader_shard != my_shard` gate
   prevents a node pulling its own stream (its stream isn't a registered peer)
   → eliminates the `PeerUnreachable(self)` loop.
4. scatter-merge degraded partial (Bug 1): failed shard logs + continues
   instead of `?`-failing the whole read; bounded read-admission semaphore
   (`offload.rs`) sheds as 429 instead of piling into a 36s p99.
5. WAL retention (Bug 5): `compact_wal_retained` keeps `WAL_RETENTION_SEGMENTS=4`
   most-recent sealed segments; online path gets the same retention clamp.
   Prevents brief-restart forced-reseed.
6. divergent-rejoin reseed loop (Bug 6, rc9): `note_quarantined` latches
   `from_seqno = stream_baseline` (not `frontier + 1`) so `wal_covers`
   returns `needed=true` and the snapshot installs instead of looping.

Also: `TidalDb::close_shared` for deterministic HNSW save on cluster SIGTERM
(HNSW graph was not saved when request-scoped Arc clones were alive at shutdown);
updated profiling doc with full rc8/rc9 fix narrative; k8s recall job YAMLs.

bb21e69ae6 feat(m12): vector retrieval G1/G2 — recall harness, ANN in RETRIEVE, index tuning
m12p1 (measurement truth): TidalDb::vector_search_items pure k-NN probe +
POST /vector_search (standalone + region node, merge-by-distance) +
tidal-stress --verify-recall (deterministic id-keyed corpus, in-RAM brute-force
cosine oracle, open-loop ramp → recall@k + true p99 + read-knee + JSON/gate exit).
Repaired fabricated p99 columns (mean-as-p99) in social-scale.md / scale.rs.
Verified real: recall@10=0.9997 at 20k/1536-D vs brute-force.

m12p2 (G1 unblock): ANN candidate-gen wired into RETRIEVE — for_you=preference
vector, related=seed embedding (similar_to), graceful scan-fallback. Cached
per-signal-type top-K (signals/ledger/hot_top_k.rs, decay-order-invariant) so
trending serves O(K). related over HTTP (FeedQuery.similar_to). Harness gains
--feed-profile / --seed-preferences. Verified: trending retrieve p99 3.5-7.7ms.

m12p3 (G2): per-query ef_search now honored (RwLock epoch-guard with_expansion,
shared guard for same-ef concurrency) + dimension-aware brute→HNSW crossover
usearch_min_vectors(dim) + memory_usage() + examples/ann_grid_search.rs.
Measured 1536-D/100k clustered: default M=16/ef_c=400/F16/ef_s=200 clears
G1+G2 (recall 0.997, p99 1.4ms); F16 -0.25% vs F32; Int8 rejected (-28%).
Recall corpus is now clustered (Gaussian mixture) in grid + harness.

81093a6779 bench(1536): production-shape capacity — read path is cheap, quorum write is the ceiling
Switched content_vector to 1536-dim (text-embedding-3-small, thepeach production
width) and ran the realistic peach mix (feed-profile reads + signal writes) on the
m11p6 mTLS cluster.

Result: 1536-dim costs ~nothing on throughput vs 128-dim — knee still ~2,976 rps
(128-dim was 2,981). The write bottleneck is quorum-commit on the 2-worker leader
pool, not vector size. The vector READ path (feed-profile retrieve — the
db.retrieve(profile) path thepeach E2/R8 calls) stays p99 3-11ms through 1500 rps,
never the bottleneck. Memory is the only dim-sensitive resource (567-751 MiB/pod
at 20k items, ~12x 128-dim) — capacity-plan RAM, not throughput.

Recommended sustained target: <=1,000 signal-ingest rps (~1,200 full mix) — 40% of
knee, 2.5x headroom, survives single-node failover, write p99 ~45ms within SLA.

Also: fixed the stale "deployed schema is 128" note in tidal-stress (now reflects
the configurable width). Full writeup: docs/ops/benchmark-1536-peach.md.

df0e1b98de feat(deploy+stress): m11p6/mTLS deploy fixes — HTTPS probes + TLS-aware generator
Deploying the m11-44b768b image (p6 sharding + p7 mTLS + p8 ops + p9 correctness)
surfaced two blockers; both fixed here.

1. statefulset.yaml: the m11p7 change made the :9500 HTTP plane serve TLS, but the
   startup/liveness/readiness probes still used scheme HTTP — kubelet got a TLS
   handshake back ("malformed HTTP response \x15\x03\x03") and pods never went
   Ready. Set scheme: HTTPS on all three probes (kubelet skips cert verification
   for httpGet probes, so the cert's DNS-only SANs are fine). Image pinned to the
   m11-44b768b amd64 digest.

2. tidal-stress: the generator's reqwest client did default cert verification and
   had no way to trust the cluster's private CA, so https:// targets failed. Added
   --ca-cert <pem> (verified TLS against the mounted tidaldb-cluster-tls ca.crt)
   and --insecure (skip verification, escape hatch). New StressError::CaCert for
   the PEM read fault.

stress-job-m11p6-baseline.yaml: T2-A-equivalent quorum-write throughput run on the
new stack — https:// targets, ca.crt mounted from the tidaldb-cluster-tls Secret,
--ca-cert verified TLS. Drops the removed --write-path flag (m11p6 unified the
write path to hash-routing).

44b768b8c6 feat(m11): sharding × replication + rebalancing (m11p6 L3-L5)
End the "replicated XOR sharded" split: S shard groups, each a
replication group at RF with its own elected leader, leaders balanced
across nodes; any gateway hash-routes.

- One unified write surface: /items,/embeddings,/signals hash-route to
  the owning shard group's leader (ShardRouter FNV-1a) AND replicate at
  RF. x-tidal-ack/x-tidal-seq, quorum await, NotLeader/QuorumTimeout are
  per-group; NotLeader names the group.
- Rebalance verbs (L3): POST /cluster/shards/{id}/transfer (fenced
  leadership move) + /cluster/shards/{id}/replicas (add/remove replica).
  A ?shard= selector threads through every per-shard admin verb and is
  propagated on intra-group forwards (ShardReplica::admin_path). S=1 is
  byte-for-byte (no selector, no shard in NotLeader body).
- Tier-3 exit gate (cluster_sharding.rs): 3 nodes × 3 shards × RF=3 over
  real OS processes — SIGKILL a node under ack=quorum load → only its
  shard-leaderships re-elect, reads never stop, zero acked loss across
  random kill points; plus a rebalance-verb test. Harness:
  MultiProcCluster::start_sharded.
- tidal-stress drives the single path (WritePath::Leader|Sharded gone),
  spreading writes round-robin across gateways or pinning --leader-url.
- Throughput: local 3×3 sustains 3,000 quorum signal-writes/s @ 0% err,
  ~30% CPU, lag ~0 (generator-bound). ≥5,000/s + ≥2.5× scaling is Ref-A.

Known follow-up (tracked): per-group-aware node readiness and cross-node
read fan-out under PARTIAL placement.

5ed2edb211 feat(m11): quorum-acked writes — ack=leader|quorum, commit index, durable frontier reports (m11p3)
ack=quorum gates replicated writes on a majority of the replica set durably
holding them: followers push their durably-applied frontier (ReportApplied,
once per apply round, decoupled from ship acks), the leader folds frontier
reports + ship-ack hints + heal resumes into a leadership-scoped CommitIndex
(k-th-largest durable mark), and handlers await it through an async
watch-channel bridge (zero parked threads per waiter). Honest timeouts:
retryable 503 naming the laggards; x-tidal-seq on every cluster write.
Follower blob applies are batched under group-commit fsyncs (22x seeding).
Exit gate: 167/167 leader-SIGKILL kill points, zero acked-write loss.

Seven-dimension review pass (all confirmed findings fixed):
- WAL blob drain now ABORTS on the first write failure instead of reusing
  the failed seqno mid-drain (a torn record buried mid-segment would
  truncate every later acked record on replay)
- apply_replicated_blobs waits every staged append even after a mid-batch
  failure, parses metadata once, and moves records into Arcs shared with
  the WAL writer (no deep clone per record on the follower apply path)
- CommitIndex: zero-peer fast path now respects demotion (active checked
  under lock before the single-replica return), k-th-largest uses
  select_nth over a reused scratch buffer
- await_quorum: re-reads the index once after the deadline fires (no false
  503 for a write that committed in the race window), warns when the
  commit-watch bridge dies outside shutdown, zero-peer path checks active
- notify_applied report failures: WARN on the first failure of a streak,
  INFO on recovery (a silently stalling frontier reads as unexplained
  quorum 503s); receiver skips re-notifying unadvanced frontiers
- x-tidal-deduplicated: 1 marks dedup-suppressed signal writes (relayed
  through forwards) so durability cursors can tell dedup from no-seqno
- docs: 167/167 kill-point record corrected in CHANGELOG; rolling-upgrade
  order (leader first — a pre-m11p3 leader silently downgrades quorum
  requests to leader-ack) in CHANGELOG + runbook §8; monitoring note for
  report-loss diagnosis on the quorum-timeout alert

Verified: workspace clippy -D warnings (incl. cluster-e2e targets), full
tidaldb/tidal-net/tidal-server/tidalctl suites green, tier-3 multi-process
quorum suite green (8/8 kill points, zero acked loss, partition gate/recover).

f640764d89 feat(tidal-stress): open-loop capacity load generator (thepeach feed workload)
New workspace crate: an open-loop, coordinated-omission-corrected HTTP load
generator + capacity ramp for the standalone and multi-process cluster surfaces,
modeling a thepeach feed session (feed reads + view/like/skip signals + search,
signal-dominated per their user-graph spec). Throttleable target rate, ramp
presets (smoke/quick/peach-100k/max) or rps:secs specs, peach/reads/writes/custom
mixes, leader vs sharded write paths, per-op p50/p90/p99/p999/max latency, a
backpressure-aware status breakdown (429/408/503/4xx/5xx/transport), and a verdict
translated to supported DAU. Runs in-cluster as a k8s Job (tidal-stress/k8s/).

Open-loop scheduler (scheduler.rs) fires at a fixed arrival rate and measures
latency from each request's intended send time, so a server stall inflates the
percentiles a closed-loop test hides; it shed-and-counts rather than blocking when
the in-flight cap is reached. Pure-Rust (tokio + reqwest/rustls), no engine deps.

Findings on the live 3-region k3s cluster (docs/ops/stress-test-thepeach.md):
reads scale to thousands/s at <15ms p99; the replicated /signals path saturates at
~90 signals/s (single-leader funnel + 2-worker write pool + synchronous gRPC ship);
the sharded path sustains 3,669 signals/s at 0 errors and ~27% cluster CPU (≈ the
100k-DAU peak, knee not reached). Overload degrades gracefully (429; 0 pod
restarts). thepeach's planned in-process embedding sidesteps all of it (write ≈82ns).
