From 0344d101d1cb612e79f0a4713fee081106493a03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "glm-5.3-flash" Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2026 01:13:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?release-flake-investigation:=20the=20fired=20lo?= =?UTF-8?q?ck-row=20trigger=20investigated=20and=20resolved=20=E2=80=94=20?= =?UTF-8?q?harness-model,=20fixed=20test-side?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Instrumentation first: the tee-before-filter capture procedure of record (demonstrated to preserve failing messages, immediately vindicating itself — two natural repros captured verbatim), then the arithmetic read against lock.rs/resolution.rs (delay-only argument confirmed for the lapse legs, corrected for the contention leg: second-precision now_unix stamps let a ttl=1 holder's exclusion window collapse below a second), the conditions matrix (48+ rounds: threads, concurrency with the SQLite column, cold/warm, CPU-load stress), mechanism probes (1.2 s delay fails deterministically on the exact assert; 200 ms lapses 2/10, frac-dependent), and the natural repro (2/30 loaded solo runs, exact message at properties.rs:563). Disposition: reproduced, root cause harness-model — the engine acted per ADR-008 §7 throughout; the pre-fix row's contention leg asserted a live-TTL state across an unbounded wall-clock gap. Trivially test-side, so the fix landed in-session under the AC's exception: lock_ttl_expiry_and_reacquisition is now two-legged (300 s exclusion leg released; the 1 s lapse leg's post-sleep asserts stay delay-only-safe); every pinned semantic survives. Verified: 30/30 loaded runs of the fixed row green under the exact repro condition; sqlite + mem columns green; workspace gates green (build, live-pg workspace tests, clippy -D warnings, fmt); taskgraph validate green. Watch ledger: the lock row's flag retires; the trim row stays watch-flagged (no repro, 10 focused + 7 loaded rounds); a new single occurrence of row_stream_ordering_equivalence under synthetic load (message captured — the row's drain window raced the pg bridge's incomplete channel fill) is watch-flagged for review-wave-8's flake outcome; no ride-along fix (instrumentation-first discipline). Tasks: release-flake-investigation -> completed with Notes + Summary; review-wave-5 ledger dated update. --- alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs | 46 ++++-- tasks/release-flake-investigation.md | 185 ++++++++++++++++++++-- tasks/review-wave-5.md | 27 ++++ 3 files changed, 238 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs b/alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs index 2036d2d..076664b 100644 --- a/alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs +++ b/alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs @@ -532,9 +532,21 @@ pub async fn duration_refusal_on_non_positive_ttl(factory: &dyn StoreFactory) { /// acquire succeeds; the original holder's post-expiry `renew` is /// refused (`false` — the deadline-lapse refusal of the handle's /// uniform predicate shape); and the second owner's `release` frees -/// the name for a third acquirer.

The arithmetic, read against the implementation.** `now_unix()` +is second-precision (`as_secs`, +`alkstore-postgres/src/resolution.rs:24-29`). A holder acquiring with +`ttl = 1` at wall instant `W0` stamps `expires_at = floor(W0) + 1`; +the acquire's expiry predicate is `expires_at <= now` with +second-precision reads (`alkstore-postgres/src/lock.rs::lock_acquire`: +opportunistic expired-row DELETE → PK-guarded ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING +INSERT → owner read-back). lapses when the contender's read reaches +`floor(W0) + 1` — i.e. after only `1 − frac(engine-now)` seconds, +arbitrarily close to zero (and the engine's clock read rides *before* +the acquire's round trips, so the effective headroom is shorter than +the post-read arithmetic implies). The ledger's delay-only argument: + +- **Confirmed for the row's post-sleep lapse assertions** — slower + clocks only make expiry more certain, and once the second owner's + row is in place, owner-scoped `renew` (UPDATE … WHERE name AND + owner) and owner-scoped `release` cannot resurrect the original + holder's row; the `lock_acquire` read-back cannot grant two owners + (the PK guard). Never un-lapsed by lateness. +- **Corrected/extended in two places.** (a) It covers only the + post-sleep legs: the row's *contention* leg + (`contender.is_none()`, `properties.rs:563` in the pre-fix row) + asserts a **live-TTL state** — the one place the row asserts "not + yet lapsed", and under second-precision stamps the `ttl = 1` + holder's guaranteed exclusion window can be under a second. Any + scheduling/server stall (≳ ~1 s) between the holder's and the + contender's `try_lock` calls lapses the holder with the engine + acting fully per contract.

Disposition: reproduced → root cause harness-model (test-side), +fixed in-session under the AC's trivially-test-side exception.** The +engine's behavior conforms to ADR-008 §7 at every step — exclusion +*bounded by TTL*, silent lapse, no revocation event; the row wrote +`ttl = 1` into a hold it then asserted across an unbounded wall-clock +gap. This is the review-002 precedent's inverse: the "flake" was not +the engine, it was the row's contention leg. Fix landed in +`alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs::lock_ttl_expiry_and_reacquisition`: +a two-leg shape — the **exclusion leg** holds a long TTL (300 s, a +span the row's own duration cannot cross — wall-clock independent) +and releases it; the **lapse leg** keeps the 1 s stamp and the +tolerance-sleep posture (its asserts are post-sleep states the fix +preserves as delay-only-safe). Every pinned semantic survives +(exclusion-while-held, silent lapse, re-acquisition, post-expiry +renew `false`, second's release, third-owner freedom); the row doc +records the two-leg posture and why.
