"error_message": "OPEN, NOT A CRASH -- pre-existing, out-of-scope gap discovered during design review for the resreq-maxtasks-wiring spec (bug-1770's fix). A job's resource-request UPDATE (JOB_UPDATE core event / sched_update_existing_job()) never takes effect for scheduling purposes, for ANY field -- not just task count. sched_update_existing_job() (src/scheduler/src/schedobj.c:597-656) and core_events.c's JOB_UPDATE handler (src/scheduler/src/core_events.c:1200-1234) both do `free(job->resreq); job->resreq = newreq;` (a shallow free via FREEUP, utils.h:114) but never touch job->schedobj. ADDENDUM (2026-09-05, independent follow-up investigation): sched_update_existing_job() itself is dead code (unreachable -- its sole caller is scheduler.c's sched_update(), which has zero live callers, same root architecture as bug-1740). core_events.c's JOB_UPDATE handler IS live (traced main.c -> driver.c's xce_sched_driver_translate_pending_events() -> xce_core_push_events() -> the JOB_UPDATE case), reached routinely by ordinary job-lifecycle notifications (state/rusage/postdone), not only by a genuine resource-request change -- but grepping the whole controller finds no code path that ever mutates an existing job's submit->resreq after initial submission, so this live handler's parse_resreq() branch always re-parses the job's original, unchanged resreq string today. No real 'update a job's resource request' feature exists yet in this codebase; this bug describes what WOULD happen if one were added without also fixing job->schedobj reconstruction.",
"root_cause": "CONFIRMED via direct code read: the scheduler's actual dispatch reads job->schedobj (scheduler.c:483, sched_make_allocation(sched, job->schedobj)), not job->resreq. sched_make_primary_allocation() (scheduler.c:315) reads xce_primary_resreq_t* primary = obj->u.primary->resreq -- i.e. job->schedobj->u.primary->resreq, a pointer set exactly once, at ingest, by core_build_primary_schedobj()/make_primary_schedobj() (primary->resreq = resreq, aliasing job->resreq->u.primary at that moment). job->schedobj is built ONLY in core_build_job() (core_events.c:259-265) and make_sched_job() (schedobj.c:194-202) -- confirmed via grepping every `job->schedobj =` assignment in the scheduler; neither update path is among them. So after any resreq update, job->schedobj->u.primary->resreq keeps pointing at the ORIGINAL, ingest-time xce_primary_resreq_t forever, completely disconnected from the freshly-parsed newreq the update path installed into job->resreq. Any change an operator makes to a pending job's select/rusage/task-count via a resource-request update is silently invisible to the scheduler's own dispatch decision -- only a job's original, at-submission resreq is ever actually evaluated.",
