vector search: normalize the query, instrument the blob path, expose per-group vector counts
Three real defects, plus a retracted fourth that was a probe artifact. P3 (fixed) - query/stored normalization asymmetry. The write path L2-normalized every stored vector; the read path passed the caller's raw query straight to the index, so the two sides lived in different spaces. With unit v, d = |q|^2 - 2q.v + 1, so a non-unit query shifted and scaled every distance by |q|^2. Measured live: 591-1174 against a documented [0,4], and an exact match scoring |q|^2 - 1 instead of ~0. vector_search_items now normalizes with the canonical l2_normalize; a zero-norm query (no direction, so nearest-by-cosine is undefined) is rejected with 400. Ranking is unchanged - |q|^2 and 1 are constant across candidates - which is why it went unnoticed; what broke was every absolute use of the number. WIRE-VISIBLE, recorded in CHANGELOG. P2 (fixed) - the blob path had zero instrumentation. Added per-kind tidaldb_cluster_blobs_originated/applied/apply_failed totals. Label cardinality is fixed at 4 by construction via a new BlobKind enum, and BlobRecord::blob_kind is now the ONE exhaustive match over the variants (kind() derives from it), so a new variant is a compile error in one place instead of a silent zero in three. Only the live apply path is counted - boot replay would inflate applied past originated on every restart. Coverage gap (fixed) - tidaldb_usearch_vector_count rendered only the metrics owner's shard group, so on a 3-group node two thirds of the corpus had no vector-count series at all. Co-located groups now render shard="N"; the owner stays unlabeled for wire compatibility, so an alert grouped by (shard) buckets each replica set separately without double-counting. P1 (RETRACTED) - the "replica-divergent vector index" does not exist. Every probe wrote through the /sharded/ surface, which hash-partitions and applies to the owning region's local store with no WAL append, and therefore does not replicate BY DESIGN (cluster/node.rs:8828-8829). A controlled A/B settled it: on /items plus /embeddings all 6 entities reach all 3 replicas; on the sharded surface four of six reach exactly one node. Both are now pinned by tests. See tmp/vector-search-correctness/diagnosis.md and the k3s-fleet cluster-state.yaml entry RETRACTED_blob_replication_rf1_2026_08_30. Pre-work: usearch_index.rs 872 to 503 lines by extracting its tests to a sibling (the project's existing path-attribute convention), and the three hand-rolled l2_normalize copies collapsed to one. The two entity copies used a zero threshold about 2900x looser than the canonical one; normalize_centroid now names the centroid zero-tolerance policy once, and a test pins the tightened behavior. Tests: 2107 lib (+5), 8 vector_search e2e (+4, three of which fail without the P3 fix), 4 cluster_sharding e2e (+2). The heavy multiproc tests in cluster_sharding are now serialized - four concurrent 3-node clusters made the pre-existing failover test miss its 10s budget. |

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.

test(e2e): Playwright evidence harness for the deploy-verification runbook
Turns docs/runbooks/deploy-verification.md from prose into 32 executable checks
against the live orchard9-k3sf cluster, and it found real defects on its first
run — including in the runbook it verifies.
WHY PLAYWRIGHT, HONESTLY
tidalDB serves zero HTML (no text/html, no Html(), 10 JSON routes), so this uses
Playwright in three distinct roles rather than pretending there is a UI:
* request fixture as a real HTTP client for DNS/TLS/auth/quorum/404;
* a browser for the only genuine screens in the chain, Grafana;
* a test harness for cluster-plane checks with no HTTP surface, shelling out
to kubectl and attaching the real transcript as evidence.
WHAT IT CAUGHT
* The runbook asserted the operator/data credential split was "not active yet
- requires an image roll". globalSetup read the live image and the live
secret; a probe returned data->403, admin->200. It had been enforcing the
whole time. Section 9 rewritten. (BUG-001)
* docs/ops/grafana-tidaldb.json shipped datasource uid ${DS_PROMETHEUS} - a
Grafana export-for-sharing placeholder with no __inputs block to resolve it.
Under ConfigMap provisioning every panel queried a datasource that did not
exist, so the whole board was blank. The API said "loaded" and I had only
ever checked the API. 41 refs fixed here, 58 across the fleet ConfigMap,
which was also blanking the postgres and redis dashboards. (BUG-007)
* Stat panels used calcs "lastNonNull". Grafana's reducer is "lastNotNull", so
no value was ever computed and Cluster health / Reseed pending / Indexed
vectors rendered as empty boxes. I chased panel width and then panel height
before comparing against a working stat panel elsewhere in the same Grafana.
A spelling error wearing a layout bug's clothes. (BUG-009)
* The namespace variable defaulted to All, so cluster panels silently included
tidaldb-586b544c8-vpkmw from the superseded standalone deployment. Latency
legends read "p50 p50 p50" with no way to tell the nodes apart. Both fixed.
* "5xx ratio" rendered "No data" as large green text - at a glance a healthy
value. And Fleet state gave three fields one shared green threshold, so
reseed_required=1 would have shown GREEN during the exact incident the panel
exists to surface. Split into three panels with per-field mappings.
* tidalctl cluster-status exits 2 on a FULLY CONVERGED cluster, because the
aggregated endpoint reports healthy peers as region=null applied=0
reachable=false. The runbook claimed `cluster-status && deploy` was a safe
gate; that claim came from an exit code masked by a shell pipeline. The gate
can never pass here. Documented, test pins it, engine defect recorded.
(BUG-005)
* The deployed image writes ANSI colour into container logs, which the
collector stores verbatim. Already fixed in logging.rs, not yet rolled;
pinned as a tripwire. (BUG-006)
* The runbook's own backup command sorted ALL backups by timestamp and
selected a restore-canary run: 20 items, one volume, a meaningless pass.
Now filters on the schedule label the freshness alert actually watches.
DEFECTS FOUND BY LOOKING AT THE SCREENS
Six of the first eight captures were slop and were fixed, not promoted:
230-350px of dead space; a verdict that rendered "exit code 2" in green; the
1600x1800 dashboard scaled into 16:9 until illegible (now clipped to the
evidence band using real element bounds); the dream beat whose caption described
a contradiction the image did not show (now a purpose-built capture holding the
committed doc text, the running image, and the live 403/200 side by side); and a
one-frame blink to bare background at every scene boundary, because Remotion
Sequences do not overlap and both scenes sat at opacity 0 on the boundary frame.
TRIPWIRES IN THE HONEST DIRECTION
Three tests assert what is ABSENT - zero tidaldb_http_* families, JSON_LOGS
unset, plain-text logs - and each carries the message "good news, roll the
runbook section from pending to live". The metric-absence test also asserts the
baseline family count, so "absent" cannot pass for "the scrape failed". That is
the drift that made section 9 stale in the first place.
Regression config uses workers:1 and retries:0 deliberately: a live-cluster
check that only passes on the second attempt has told you something true.
Verified: 32 passed (46.8s); 9 demo captures each asserting before photographing;
tsc clean; render 82.05s 1920x1080 h264, 0 empty frames across 10 boundaries;
every promoted image inspected individually and judged perfect; walk-the-render
ledger complete with no fails.

docs(runbooks): add an executable deploy verification checklist
Every command in it was run against the live orchard9-k3sf deployment and its
output recorded before commit. Nothing is aspirational, and the three defects
found while dogfooding it are fixed rather than left for the reader:
* the backup check sorted ALL backups by timestamp and selected a
restore-canary run (20 items, 1 volume) — it would have "passed" while
telling you nothing about the fleet. Now filters on the schedule label.
* the certificate check dialled the hostname, which fails on a workstation
behind a split-DNS resolver. Now connects by IP with SNI.
* a prose line was sitting inside a bash fence.
Sections 1-8 verify what is deployed today. Section 9 is deliberately separate:
HTTP metrics, the operator/data credential split, and structured logs are
committed and tested but INERT until an image roll, so their absence is not
mistaken for a regression. Five dashboard panels are legitimately empty for the
same reason and the doc says which.
Carries the two measurement traps this deploy actually produced, because both
generated false alarms: port-forward needs sleep 8 (a shorter wait races the bind
and reads like a dead node), and pod-to-pod reachability must not be probed with
/dev/tcp under sh (dash has no /dev/tcp, so an OPEN port reports refused - that
briefly looked like a cluster partition).
Also records the known-red reseed tests as environmental rather than regressions:
bisect against the preceding commit shows all three fail identically there, on
the first ack=quorum write ~1s after the gRPC listeners bind and before peer ship
channels exist, against the harness's own 3s client timeout.

docs(ops): un-blind the reseed alert and record the active VIP intervention
The 2026-08-20 livelock ran 21h with no page. TidalDBClusterReseedPending is `tidaldb_cluster_reseed_required == 1 for 10m`, written for exactly this, but the defect cleared the marker ~200ms after each latch, so the gauge flapped 1->0 every ~30s and never held 1 for 10m. Add TidalDBClusterReseedFlapping, which keys off `changes(...[15m]) > 2` instead of a hold duration, so a latch/clear loop pages even when the gauge reads 0 at both ends of the window and even if a future clear path reintroduces the spurious clear. Also add an on-call banner for the operator intervention now in force: the client Service selector is narrowed to keep tidaldb-0 out of the read path, because its shard-1 frontier was cross-seeded from shard 2's snapshot artifact and its reads are untrustworthy even at lag_events: 0. The banner carries the footgun (the label is on the pods, not the template, so it does not survive pod recreation) plus repair and revert commands. |

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. |

docs: withdraw the pre-release "not ready for production" disclaimer
M0-M12 are shipped and the HA cluster runs in production on k3s, so the pre-release disclaimer no longer describes the project. Removes it from the canonical doc set and corrects the readiness text that had gone stale. - README.md: replace the "Pre-release / not yet recommended for production" banner with a production-ready statement; drop "(experimental)" from the cluster status bullet; state the post-1.0 versioning posture (additive in minor releases, breaking changes get a documented migration path). - CLAUDE.md / QUICKSTART.md / docs/guides/server-deployment.md / docs/runbooks/cluster.md: same withdrawal; reframe the cluster opt-in as a guard against standing up a multi-node fabric by accident rather than a readiness warning. - CHANGELOG.md: record the stability posture under [Unreleased], superseding the historical 0.1.0 "no stability guarantees" note (left intact as history). - k8s/statefulset.yaml: the "NOT production HA, tracked as m8p10" comment was stale (m8p10 shipped); point at k8s/cluster/ for the HA deployment instead. Also corrects text that was factually wrong since m11p3/m11p4: the multi-process cluster gate, its CLI help, and the served OpenAPI description all still claimed quorum-ack writes and automatic failure detection did not exist. They do. Historical records (docs/reviews/, docs/profiling/, past CHANGELOG entries, the kubernetes.md rc7 fix note) are left unchanged. Verified against a running binary, not just the build: the opt-in gate's refusal message, the startup WARN, /health 200, and the served /openapi.json description all carry the new text. cargo fmt clean; clippy -D warnings clean on tidaldb and the tidal-server lib; 1943 engine + 155 server lib tests pass; scripts/check-docs.sh OK.

docs: refresh ops runbooks to the live rc7 / full-placement reality
The runbooks had drifted to the retired m8/m11p5 design while all m12 production reality (topology, perf, fixes, DR) sat only in a profiling doc no operator opens. This promotes that reality into the runbooks and fixes the contradictions. Contradictions fixed: - runbooks/cluster.md: the "NEITHER IS QUORUM-ACKED HA YET" status banner was FALSE (quorum-ack + automatic election have been live since m11p3/p4). Rewritten to state the deployed reality (single-StatefulSet full-placement RF3, rc7). - README.md: the cluster section called the HA cluster a "built-in simulated cluster / multi-region fabric" demo and showed promote-by-region as failover. Rewritten — real quorum HA, automatic failover, /cluster/promote is a maintenance verb. Kept the honest caveats (experimental gate, global-signals-only). Reality promoted into the runbooks: - Live topology (single STS, ns tidaldb-cluster, 3 voters, full-placement RF3, gRPC 9601/9602/9603, HTTPS+mTLS :9500), the five shipped fixes, and the real build+digest-pin procedure (cross-compile -> trixie -> amd64 PLATFORM manifest, not the index/attestation digest) in cluster.md + kubernetes.md. - Stale constants: soak ramp 3900 -> 200 rps; cluster grace 60 -> 600s; the pre-m12 4.5k/s signal-write perf table annotated + the 1536-D read reality added. - ops/capacity-planning.md: new "Ref-A 3-node fleet — measured capacity" section (read p99/ceiling, ~250 rps write knee, 1M needs >16GiB nodes, pod resources). - ops/recovery.md: new cluster-recovery routing section + scoped the quiesce-and- copy note to standalone (the cluster uses tidalctl + the DR runbook). New docs: - runbooks/disaster-recovery.md: the proven S3/R2 backup -> restore -> byte-verify -> query-proof procedure, full-cluster rebuild, PITR posture (previously undocumented despite being proven against real S3). - runbooks/on-call.md: incident response — symptom -> golden signal -> runbook, severity, escalation, and the open alert-wiring step. - runbooks/README.md: the runbook index + current production facts. Open follow-up (infra, not docs): ops/prometheus-alerts.yaml is accurate but design-reference; promoting it to a live PrometheusRule is the one unwired step. |

fix(m12p6): T4 TLS scale-up enablement — https seed-join via ready-only Service + up-front rustls provider
The m12p5 idle-readiness work converged on an idle cluster, but the real T4 1M/1536 scale-up over mTLS still failed to admit new pods. Three real blockers, all invisible to the plaintext in-process tests: - CryptoProvider crash-loop: the seed-join/reseed boot path builds a blocking reqwest (rustls) HTTPS client on a dedicated boot thread BEFORE GrpcTransport::new installs the process-wide provider, so every TLS joiner panicked. Install it at the top of main(); ensure_crypto_provider() is now pub, idempotent, harmless on the plaintext standalone path. - Wrong seed scheme + target: peer_url honors an explicit URL scheme verbatim, so http:// dialed plaintext at the TLS :9500 port. Seed is now https:// AND points at the ready-only client Service (ClusterIP VIP), not the headless peers Service — so a joiner never round-robins onto a not-ready pod (incl. itself) and burns the 120s discovery window. - Too-tight poll budget: a cold status poll pays a full rustls handshake on top of DNS+TCP; under CPU contention that alone blew the 500ms budget, so the joiner timed out every poll for the whole window despite the peer being reachable. Status-poll timeout is now 5s (env: TIDAL_SEED_STATUS_TIMEOUT_MS) with a separate 2s connect timeout (dead seeds still fail fast) and debug-level logging on every discovery failure mode. Refactors riding along: - on_heartbeat takes a HeartbeatContext struct (additive fields, no silent u64 transposition) across tidal-net, election_driver, and both test hooks. - ShardReplica::applied_for_leader_shard centralizes per-source-shard keying (BUG 1) shared by the readiness drive and local_status. - idle-readiness test now asserts convergence within ½ budget — a slow-path regression (periodic self-heal / status-poll dependency) the binary budget check would otherwise wave through. New k8s T4 manifests: cluster-t4-kind kustomization + single-group topology patch; tidal-stress t4 seed/load Jobs. |

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.

feat(m11): observability+ops (m11p8) + perf-sweep wave 2 T2
m11p8 closes G-O + §1.4-3: - Cluster metrics: breaker state, forwards, self-heal on /metrics; multi-shard sibling render (shard="N") - Grafana cluster row + 8-rule Prometheus alert group - Request-id / TraceLayer on both cluster routers; id rides forward hop - Truthful status: flushed leader applied_events frontier; post-promote ShardId(0) keying fix - Self-driving heal: tick_self_heal re-arms stuck-peer backlog every ~3s - WAL PITR: wal.archive_dir, archive-before-delete gap-free - tidalctl backup/restore with BLAKE3 content-hash verification - Rolling-upgrade build_version handshake (N/N+1, never rejects) + Woodpecker release gate perf-sweep wave 2 T2: one-get-per-type pre-pass in ranking executor - signal_values.rs pre-fetches all signal kinds before scoring loop - Eliminates per-item repeated DashMap lookups: −18.8% for_you, −31% under writes - Byte-identical output verified with A/B test harness |

feat(m11): cluster security (m11p7) + perf instrumentation floor
m11p7 — secure the cluster, all opt-in (pre-m11p7 byte-for-byte):
- gRPC replication mTLS by default via a custom tokio-rustls acceptor +
DynamicCertResolver; zero-drop content-hash cert rotation (k8s ..data swap,
no pod restart, no inotify)
- inter-node HTTP TLS sharing the same resolver (one rotation, both planes) +
per-node keyed-BLAKE3 signed x-tidal-node-token; marker-without-token -> 403
- admin audit log (operator-leg only) + per-principal rate limit (engine
RateLimiter; sibling nodes exempt)
- k8s cert-manager manifest (certs.yaml) + scripts/gen-cluster-certs.sh fallback;
secret.example.yaml gains TIDAL_CLUSTER_KEY (file-mounted, hot-rotatable)
- exit gate verified real: mtls.rs (gRPC foreign-pod), cluster_security.rs
(HTTP foreign + zero-drop rotation under load), 7 security unit tests
perf — instrument floor (sweep Wave 1):
- new tidal/benches/wal.rs + tidal-server/benches/scatter.rs
- p99->mean honesty relabel; sweep manifest at docs/reviews/perf-sweep-2026-06-13.md
- add @tidal-performance agent (Martin Thompson)

feat(m11): Raft leader election over WAL stream (m11p4)
Kind-3 term markers in the WAL stream, STREAM-relative vote frontiers, heartbeat-only divergence detection + quarantine, and fenced promote. Elections converge in 0.6–1.0s; zero acked-write loss across all kill points. Closes G5 (leaderless recovery) from the v0.9 wave. |

feat(m11): catch-up timer retry + TSEG segment version header (m11p4)
WAL segment format: 8-byte TSEG header (magic + version byte + 3 reserved)
prepended to every new segment. Legacy headerless segments (m0-m11p3) read
as implicit v0 — no migration. Unknown magic/version surfaces as
WalError::SegmentFormatUnknown at open time; foreign files are never
repaired or truncated (fixes the silent data-loss path from the p3 rollout
incident where torn-tail repair zeroed a follower's unreadable segments).
Catch-up transport: FAILED_PRECONDITION ("snapshot required") and stream
errors that skip the shard now arm a timer retry (re-arm-on-skip is the
load-bearing liveness fix — without it a skipped pull never re-fires and
the follower stays permanently behind). Single retry pending per shard;
CatchupRunner owns the Arc'd state shared between the retry tasks and the
transport. Test: tidal-net/tests/catchup_retry.rs covers the retry path.
Stress: k8s stress-job-t2a/t2b yaml + ops/stress-test-p3-t2 runbook.

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). |

feat(m11): WAL-as-stream replication + perf floor (m11p1+m11p2)
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. |

feat(m8p10): multi-process cluster mode — scatter-gather, reconcile relay, chaos/UAT suites
Splits monolithic cluster.rs into tidal-server/src/cluster/ modules. Adds redeliver-missed relay, bounded HLC drift, lag tracking, and reconcile idempotence. Five new tier-3 test suites (chaos, lifecycle, multiproc, region, routes, runbook) all green. Docs, CHANGELOG, and ROADMAP updated with G4/G5/G6 known gaps. |

fix: heal_region re-delivers missed WAL batches so partitioned followers converge immediately after heal
- Extract redeliver_missed(tx, db, log) helper into cluster_transport.rs - heal_region now removes partition then immediately ships any missed batch-log entries to the healed follower's channel - await_convergence refactored to call the same helper (no logic change) - tidal-server: reload_text_index before search in cluster mode - tidal-server: write_signal returns Result instead of panicking on unknown signal - tidal-server: leader shows lag_events=0 (writes directly, no receiver thread) - tidal-server: fix cluster mode error propagation (ServerError::from) - docs/runbooks/cluster.md: add full cluster operations runbook - docker/: add Dockerfile for containerised cluster deployment - README.md: add tidal-server HTTP API getting-started section - Split oversized source files per CODING_GUIDELINES §9 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
