jordan fe8d0c87e7 harden: restore CI verification, remove four wire-level fabrications, instrument the 401 path
Implements tmp/tidaldb-fleet-hardening (20 planned tasks + 2 found by measurement).

Ring 0 — restore verification. .woodpecker.yaml step pods ran at the namespace
default of 1500m/2Gi, which OOMKilled a prior pipeline and starved the release
gate past its budget. Both push-path steps now declare
backend_options.kubernetes.resources as two YAML anchors declared once on their
first consuming step. The values are CALIBRATED against measured free node
capacity, not against the LimitRange max: `requests: cpu 2` (this roadmap's
original figure) fits on NO node and would sit Pending forever, because
`ci-build-bounds` grants permission and the nodes supply capacity, and those are
not the same thing.

The `nightly` cron described in this file for 216 days was never created, so
tier-3 chaos, the fault classes, mTLS and the PITR test produced exactly zero
signal while reading like standing coverage. nightly-chaos and
nightly-security-ops now alias the anchors and have budgets matching the gate
(their 120/90 were TIGHTER on the same runner, so they would have failed
nightly for a budget reason, not a correctness one). nightly-soak is REMOVED,
not scheduled: it drives 1000 rps for 600s gating on p99 <= 250ms, and the best
node has 1700m free CPU, so it would fail on starvation rather than regression —
manufacturing a nightly false alarm. Its commands move verbatim to
docs/runbooks/nightly-soak.md.

Ring 1 — four fabrications removed from the wire.
- scatter_merge sorted and truncated without re-stamping rank, so /feed and
  /search returned 1,1,2 under full placement. Reuses merge_cross_shard's
  existing stamp; asserted on BOTH the multi-group merge path and the
  single-group [only] fast path that bypasses it.
- aggregate_region_row's None arm invented `applied_events: 0` plus a deficit
  derived from it. applied_events/lag_events are now Option<u64>, null on the
  wire. leader_last_seq was also unwrap_or(0), so a node that could not reach
  the LEADER computed 0 - applied = 0 for every region and reported a converged
  cluster it had never measured — a fabrication pointing the dangerous way.
- tidalctl inferred NO REPORT from `applied == 0 && lag > 0`. That heuristic was
  actively hiding the PVC-wipe shape: a measured zero with a real deficit
  rendered as "no report" instead of BEHIND. Now read off the wire; converged
  exits 0, partitioned still exits nonzero.
- /sharded/* answered 201/204 for single-copy writes with nothing anywhere
  saying so. Now requires `x-tidal-ack: local`, rejecting with 400 via the
  existing invalid_input path. Six call sites migrated, not the two this
  roadmap predicted — including docs/runbooks/cluster.md §16.3, which told
  operators to run a quorum-write probe via POST /sharded/items. That probe
  cannot verify quorum: the surface applies locally with no WAL append. It was
  used as the safety check between every step of a staged deploy earlier today.

Ring 2 — observability. JSON_LOGS was already implemented and the deployment
simply never asked for it; the StatefulSet now sets it, plus
TIDAL_SERVICE_NAME=tidaldb because enabling it silently renames the
VictoriaLogs `service` stream field and would have blinded every query keyed on
it. Adds tidaldb_usearch_replicated_vectors_total, incremented on BOTH the
origin (wal_blob_first -> Ok(Some)) and the follower apply path — counting only
the origin would mean each vector lands on exactly one node, replicas never
agree, and the alert built on it pages forever.

Found by measurement, not planned: the 401 path discarded every fact about
every rejection. Traefik has served 101,858 rejected requests to the public
ingress — 87.6% of all its traffic — with no record of who or why anywhere.
unauthorized_response now emits reason (missing_token vs invalid_token, the
distinction that separates a scanner from a rotation that missed a consumer)
and the forwarded client. The token is never logged.

Also: scripts/restore-fleet.sh --cluster started the soak monitor while
deliberately leaving its gate suspended, orphaning a watcher that has reported
"0/30 green nights" for 13 days. The pair now moves together. Doc-guard's
three-warning backlog is cleared with real backfill for M4/M6/M12.

Verified: fmt clean; clippy 5 crates 0 new warnings (74 vs 74 baseline,
counted in a detached worktree at HEAD); lib 2110 passed; cluster_sharding 5;
cluster_runbook 10; tidalctl 38; doc-guard 0 warnings. Playwright 32/34 with
the two remaining failures asserting the rank fix against the not-yet-rolled
image — they are the post-deploy proof.

# m6p3 — Full Sort Mode Coverage + Live Content + Engagement Filters (✅ COMPLETE 2026-02-23)
Phase spec and acceptance criteria: [ROADMAP · Milestone 6 · Phase 3](../ROADMAP.md).
Milestone index: [README.md](README.md). Backfilled record.
## What shipped
1. **The sort surface completed** (`tidal/src/ranking/profile.rs`, `Sort` enum).
M6 added `AlphabeticalAsc`, `AlphabeticalDesc`, `Shortest`, `Longest`,
`MostCommented { window }`, `MostShared { window }`, `LiveViewerCount`, and
`DateSaved` alongside the pre-existing `Hot`, `Trending`, `Rising`,
`Controversial`, `HiddenGems`, `Shuffle`, `New`, `TopWindow`, `MostViewed`,
`MostLiked`, `MostFollowed`, `CreatorEngagementRate`, and `Ann`. Window
parameterization is what lets ~20 variants cover the 27 sort modes in
[USE_CASES.md](../../../USE_CASES.md) Appendix B.
2. **Metadata-driven ordering.** Alphabetical sorts read the `title` metadata
field case-insensitively with missing titles last; `Shortest`/`Longest` read
`duration` in seconds with missing durations last. `DateSaved` reads the
querying user's save timestamp and therefore requires `for_user`.
3. **Live content.** A `viewer_count` signal (short half-life, no windows, no
velocity — it represents a current concurrent count, not an accumulation) plus
a `live` built-in profile sorting on `LiveViewerCount`
(`tidal/src/ranking/builtins.rs`).
4. **Engagement and geographic filters.** `FilterExpr::MinSignal` /
`MaxSignal` evaluate an AllTime windowed count against a threshold;
`FilterExpr::NearLocation { lat, lng, radius_km }` is a Haversine post-filter
over item `latitude`/`longitude` metadata — deliberately not index-backed.
## Evidence
- `tidal/tests/m6p3_sorts.rs` (9), `m6p3_filters.rs` (3),
`m6p3_edge_cases.rs` (3) — integration coverage.
- `tidal/src/ranking/executor/tests/sort_tests.rs` — per-variant ordering unit
tests, the "at least one test per Sort variant" criterion.
- `tidal/benches/sort.rs` — sort benchmarks added by the same commit.
## Note on the "< 50 ms at 500 items" criterion
Marked `[x]`; `tidal/benches/sort.rs` exists and targets it, but no run is
recorded in `docs/`. Measurable on demand (`cargo bench -p tidaldb --bench
sort`); not currently evidenced.
