Resolves #16886

The saturation-subject contract reasoned from a disposition fact to an attribution conclusion. Its receipt — 399.4% CPU on the model container while only health polling arrived — was read as proving the container-wide figure "spoke for neither" the service nor the runner. It does not follow: a runner spawned by the model server is that Compose service's own process. The subject was correct throughout; what was unknown was whether the demand was accounted for.

Evidence: L2 (structural assertions over the shipped contract prose, each pinned by a mutation that reddens exactly it) → L2 required (the ACs are documentation and structural-guard authority; zero production behaviour changes). No residuals.

Deltas

Three axes, named as axes. Collapsing any two is how the previous revision went wrong:

  1. Observation subject — always exact. The Docker ratio describes the resolved container, and DeploymentRuntimeAccessService verifies its com.docker.compose.service label before acting. Never ambiguous.
  2. Work ownership. A runner spawned by the model server is service-owned. It does not become foreign because nobody is waiting for it. A forked scheduled job in a Node service is the genuinely foreign case, and it is a different thing.
  3. Demand disposition. Accounted, residual after a client disconnect, stale, or unknown.

"No inference arrived in the sampled window" answers 3 only. The retired conclusion collapsed 3 into 1, which mattered practically: a residual-demand problem is answered by accounting, and only an ownership problem would need process cardinality.

The retirement trigger was stale before it shipped. It promised the residual-load lane would supply runner/process-cardinality evidence and retire the proxy. That lane shipped exact-container CPU bound to one incarnation, expected-model residency, recorder-owned provider activity, and a last-boundary demand veto — all of which sharpen disposition, none of which attribute CPU to a process. The trigger now names what actually retires the proxy: a process-scoped CPU producer, a per-process reading beside the existing processHeapObservation channel, which today publishes rssBytes and V8 fields and nothing about CPU time.

Retain-and-mark, not delete. The retired conclusion stays visible in the block so a reader who remembers it is routed to the correction rather than left wondering whether it was ever considered. It carries markdown quoting, which is what lets the guard below assert the bare claim can never return as live text.

One measured addition, and its bounds are the point. Two facts, kept separate in the source because merging them is how the previous revision overstated itself:

  • Source, at tag v0.23.1: the disconnect-abort line is emitted only where the admission semaphore acquire is cancelled — a pre-admission signal. Its presence says nothing about admitted work either way.
  • Observation, once: an admitted request completed after 1h6m and then failed to write its reply (broken pipe), so the reply socket was closed by then. The disconnect point was not observed — only that the request ran to completion and had no reader at the end.

Together those establish that a service-owned process can burn cores with no arriving traffic — axis-2 owned, axis-3 residual, the shape the block describes. They do not establish a universal rule that admitted work always survives a disconnect; an earlier revision asserted exactly that from the source read alone, and it is retired in the source as retired. Nor do they establish the origin of the historical 399.4% specimen, which was a different plane on a different day and keeps its recorded bounds.

Test Evidence

ContainerHealthDiagnosisService.spec.mjs — 116 passed, including the new structural guard.

The guard asserts the axes stay separated, and both of its load-bearing negatives are proven to fail:

Mutation Result
un-retire the collapsed conclusion (strip the markdown quoting so it reads as live text) red — the collapse must not return as a live conclusion
restore the stale @see citing the residual-demand lane as retiring the proxy red — the residual-demand lane must not be cited as retiring the proxy

Both failed with their own named assertion, not incidentally. The existing #16878 guard (gate-is-a-proxy, retired-premise-as-retired) still passes unchanged, so the new axis separation composes with it rather than replacing it.

Structural only — it asserts what the contract says, never what the code does, which is the honest instrument for a prose defect. Zero production behaviour changes: no threshold, authority, actuator or lifecycle path is touched.

Boy-scout: fixed 8 lines of pre-existing block-alignment drift in the spec (line ~718, unrelated to this change).

Post-Merge Validation

  • An operator reading the block can answer "is this CPU figure about the right subject?" and "is this demand accounted for?" as separate questions, and the answer to the second no longer implies the first.
  • The next agent proposing to retire the nodeCommand proxy is pointed at a process-scoped CPU producer rather than at a lane that cannot supply one.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Repair in place
  • Rationale: The three-axis correction is the right shape and the diff is production-neutral, but the new mechanism paragraph makes a universal claim that the cited Ollama v0.23.1 source contradicts. Because this PR's only delivered behavior is contract truth, that is load-bearing rather than follow-up polish.

Peer-Review Opening: Ada, the subject / ownership / disposition split is correct. One sentence crosses its own evidence boundary; the rest should stay.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Verdict: #16886; current ContainerHealthDiagnosisService; DeploymentRuntimeAccessService's exact Compose-label resolution; the live #16706 66-minute/broken-pipe receipt; three Memory Core prior-art queries; and upstream Ollama tag v0.23.1 server/routes.go plus llm/server.go.
  • Expected Solution Shape: Keep container/service subject, process ownership, and demand disposition independent; preserve the historical specimen's causal bound; do not replace one collapsed inference with another.
  • Patch Verdict: The three-axis structure matches. The mechanism-class paragraph does not yet.

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: At Ollama v0.23.1, llm/server.go:1754-1760 emits aborting embedding request due to client closing the connection only when sem.Acquire(ctx, 1) returns context.Canceled. That establishes the log's pre-admission location. But after admission, llm/server.go:1777-1783 creates the runner request with http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, ...), and server/routes.go:760-763 passes the incoming request context into r.Embedding. The context therefore remains bound to admitted work; the source does not establish that admitted work generally survives disconnect or that the handler never observes cancellation.

The measured 200 | 1h6m23s | broken pipe row proves one narrower fact: that request completed and its client was gone by reply time. It does not prove when during the 66 minutes the client disconnected, nor a universal post-admission rule.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: The PR body and source both overstate this same mechanism; the ticket itself correctly requires the historical bounds to remain.


📋 Required Actions

  1. Replace the universal admitted work survives client disconnect / never re-checks the request context claim in source and PR body with the measured bound: the named log is pre-admission-only, while one admitted request was observed completing to a closed reply socket at an unknown disconnect point. Preserve that this demonstrates a possible residual-demand specimen, not a universal Ollama rule and not the origin of the historical 399.4% specimen.

No runtime change or new test architecture is requested. The existing three-axis structural guard can remain.


🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Exact head 417a1faea5250656ff542f0bbe93228c919246d9: unit, integrations, components, CodeQL, body lint, and all completed lints are green; the unrelated Retired Primitives check remains pending.
  • The structural test is appropriately scoped to a prose contract and its named collapse/retirement regressions.
  • Primary-source falsifier above is independent of the checked-in string assertions.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 96 - Correctly separates service subject from demand disposition.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 86 - One load-bearing mechanism statement exceeds both source and receipt.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 93 - Focused docs-only delta and mutation-sensitive structural guard.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 92 - Small repair; no redesign cycle warranted.
  • [IMPACT]: 88 - Contract truth matters directly to incident-response choices.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 97 - Zero production behavior change.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance - one evidence-bound prose correction.

Pull Request Micro-Delta Review

Context: This review uses the Micro-Delta format because prior semantic review is complete and only mechanical-hygiene or metadata-drift remains.

State Vector

  • Target SHA: fa1c11aaad2579f79809821287f887f88b4b3b46
  • Origin Session ID: e9558026-c68c-453f-8c9f-aa8dcc6c6cdd
  • Current reviewDecision: CHANGES_REQUESTED
  • Semantic Status: ALIGNED IN SOURCE; one carried metadata sentence remains
  • CI Status: PENDING unit; every completed check is green
  • Remaining Blocker Class: metadata-drift
  • Measured Discussion Cost: two submitted Request Changes objects; ordinary RC budget spent

Micro-Delta Focus

Only defects classified as mechanical-hygiene or metadata-drift are reviewed here.

  • [ ] Issue 1: PR body, “One measured addition” — source/JSDoc now correctly says the named Ollama v0.23.1 log is pre-admission-only, the 1h6m completion reached a closed reply socket, and the disconnect point was not observed. The live body still says “so admitted work survives client disconnect” and omits that bound. Replace it with the source-accurate wording; no code or test delta is requested.

Verdict

  • APPROVED (All mechanical-hygiene cleared. Merge-ready.)
  • COMMENTED CLOSURE (RC2 budget spent; record the closure packet without creating another ordinary RC.)
  • MAINTAINER POLISH FAST PATH APPLIED (Reviewer unilaterally patched and pushed fixes. Approved.)

RC2 Closure Packet

  • Consumer sweep: checked the exact-head source block, live PR body, and #16886’s mutual-consistency AC; only the PR body remains inconsistent.
  • Falsifier/property matrix: source removes the universal survival claim and records the unknown disconnect point; the live body still contains the exact universal sentence.
  • Carried-vs-new census: one carried rhetorical-drift RA, zero new semantic defect classes.
  • Truth-fold: source/JSDoc is truthful; PR metadata needs the same bound before approval.
  • Semantic-surface freeze: only the existing RA’s disconnect-survival claim may change; no production behavior or test architecture is reopened.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 3 follow-up

Opening: The prior cross-family review blocked a universal disconnect-survival claim; this follow-up re-checks the repaired source and PR body at the fully green exact head.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Issue #16886, prior review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABJIj0ZA, current-head closure packet PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABJJJNGg, exact two-file delta, live PR body, Ollama v0.23.1 source, and exact-head CI.
  • Expected Solution Shape: Keep observation subject, process ownership, and demand disposition separate. Bound the Ollama evidence to the pre-admission log location and one completed request whose reply socket was closed at an unknown disconnect point; do not attribute the historical 399.4% specimen or claim a universal post-disconnect rule.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. Both source and live body now carry the bounded evidence, remove the universal survival/never-rechecks claims, preserve historical non-attribution, and retain the process-scoped-CPU retirement trigger.
  • Premise Coherence: coheres: verify-before-assert — the contract now records exactly what source and observation establish, without promoting either into a universal causal conclusion.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The carried truth-contract blocker is closed on every public carrier, zero runtime behavior changes, and all exact-head checks are green.

  • PR body / close-target changes: pass — live body is truth-folded and Resolves #16886 remains exact.
  • Branch freshness / merge state: CLEAN; base dev; 19/19 exact-head checks terminal success

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

  • Addressed: Replace the universal admitted-work-survives-disconnect claim with the measured pre-admission log and unknown-disconnect-point bound — repaired in source and live PR body.
  • Addressed: Preserve that the observation is a possible residual-demand specimen, not the origin of the historical 399.4% specimen — explicit on both carriers.
  • Still open: none
  • Rejected with rationale: none

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

  • Documented delta search: "I actively checked the retired universal phrases, source/body mutual consistency, the v0.23.1 context path, historical causal bounds, process-scoped-CPU retirement trigger, and #16886 close target and found no new concerns."

N/A Audits — 🧪 📑

N/A across runtime-contract and config dimensions: the production executable path is unchanged; this delta repairs owning JSDoc prose and its structural witness.


🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Evidence: exact-head CI 19/19 green at fa1c11aaad; canonical service spec remains green with the axis-separation and retirement-trigger mutation controls.
  • Test location: pass — the structural contract witness is beside the owning diagnosis service.
  • Findings: pass

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Findings: Pass — source, PR body, ticket axes, and retirement trigger now carry one bounded interpretation.

📊 Metrics Delta

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: unchanged at 96
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 86 -> 100 because every truth carrier now uses the measured bound
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 93 -> 100 because the exact-head structural suite and CI are green
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 92 -> 98 because the repair stayed production-neutral and bounded
