Adds test_captured_pend_job_excluded_from_resinuse_until_run: drives a
job captured while still PEND through sched_account_jobs() and confirms
its resource-in-use contribution is zero; transitions the same job to
RUN and confirms sched_account_jobs() now includes its exact captured
allocation, with no second reconciliation call in between -- proving the
nonzero value comes from the earlier capture, not a fresh one.
Required promoting the file's sched_account_jobs() from a no-op stub to
a real reimplementation (verbatim body, matching the exact precedent
already established in test_sim_contention_parity.c and
test_sim_round_boundary_reconciliation.c) plus a resource.c white-box
include -- no production code touched.

Widens sim_reconcile_unaccounted_jobs()'s trigger gate in sim_loop.c: removes
!JOB_IS_RUN(job->state) so a job's recorded DISPATCH decision is captured as
soon as the replay reaches the round it occurred in, regardless of the job's
current state -- closing bug-1611/bug-1613's residual (a job whose RUN
confirmation lands in a later round than its dispatch decision, the realistic
case under any real dispatch-to-confirmation latency, was never reconciled).
sched_account_jobs()'s own unmodified JOB_IS_RUN charging gate continues to
defer actual resource-in-use accounting until the job genuinely transitions
to RUN -- no other line in the match/capture/report path changes.
Replaces test_reconcile_skips_non_run_state_job (which asserted the bug as
correct behavior) with test_reconcile_captures_non_run_state_job_when_dispatch_recorded,
proving the opposite for a PEND-state job. Adds the xce-test-rc-file-style
spec docs (requirements/design/research/tasks) for this feature.

User-reported live crash: xce_scheduler SIGSEGV in fcfs_cursor_enter_queue
(builtin_fcfs.c), called from builtin_fcfs_next_job <- sched_job_picker
(picker thread).
priv->cursor/priv->job_cursor (fcfs_plugin_data_t) are raw ordq_item_t*
pointers that persist across SEPARATE next_job() calls, each with its own
independent priv->lock acquisition/release. The existing mutual-exclusion
fix (task 2.4) correctly protects the cursor walk from corruption DURING
one locked call, but does nothing to stop a LATER call from dereferencing
a node a properly-locked, INTERVENING call already freed.
on_queue_update()'s re-sort (remove old ordq_item_t node, insert a fresh
one via ordq_put) is exactly such a free -- with only one queue in the
deployment, the picker's cursor is essentially always parked on it
between calls (sched_queue_is_ready/sched_job_is_ready are unconditional
true stubs today, so the cursor never advances away while jobs remain),
making a queue config update land in that window trivially reachable.
Fixed by invalidating (NULLing) whichever cursor points at a node right
before that node is freed, at all three sites that can free a node the
cursors might reference: on_queue_update's reuse-and-resort path
(priv->cursor + priv->job_cursor in lockstep), builtin_fcfs_on_job_state_change's
!JOB_IS_PEND removal, and fcfs_remove_job_everywhere's cross-queue removal
loop (both job_cursor only, via an ordq_peek-then-invalidate-then-delete
pattern). Always safe: next_job() treats a NULL cursor as "no more
candidates this round", and begin_session() resets both cursors fresh
every round regardless -- worst case is a bounded one-round delay, never
a crash or a permanently lost job.
New test_builtin_fcfs_cursor_uaf.c reproduces the bug fully single-threaded
(next_job() releases the lock between calls, so no real concurrency is
needed to hit the window). RED-phase independently confirmed a real ASAN
heap-use-after-free with the exact same call chain as the live crash
(freed by on_queue_update, read by next_job()); GREEN confirms 0 failures
and no job permanently lost across the invalidation.

User-reported live crash: xce_scheduler SIGABRT via glibc malloc_printerr
(heap corruption) inside kill_limit(), called from limit_update_config()
during a live config reload.
limit_update_config() called kill_limit(limit) in its error path after a
failed key_add(privdata->limits, ...). But privdata->limits is a kvmgr
created with .datakiller = kill_limit, so on a kvtab-level failure (e.g.
-EEXIST for a duplicate limit name -- exactly the rc=-17 captured in the
crash's own backtrace), xkvmgr_add() already rolls back via vclear() ->
xzarray_clear(), which fires kill_limit(limit) once automatically. The
caller's explicit second call was a double free.
Removed the redundant call; the kvmgr's own configured datakiller already
owns cleanup on this failure path (mirrors the ownership asymmetry
job.c's restore_job_array() already documents for the opposite case,
where its kvmgr has no datakiller configured and the caller must free
failed items itself). One accepted, documented residual gap: a vstore()-
level OOM failure (never reaching the kvtab step) would leak `limit`
instead -- vanishingly rare, and a leak is strictly better than the
guaranteed crash on the common duplicate-name case; xkvmgr_add's return
code doesn't distinguish which sub-case occurred, so there's no clean way
to free conditionally without a kvmgr API change (out of scope).
New test_limit_plugin.c (this plugin had zero test coverage before) --
RED-phase independently reproduced a genuine ASAN heap-use-after-free
matching the live crash's exact call chain; GREEN confirms 0 failures.

sim_loop.c never called plugin_begin_session()/plugin_end_session() at
its round boundary, unlike driver.c's normal-mode round -- a driver-
equivalence gap found by an /xce-audit-invariants scheduler pass.
Currently inert (sim mode's only reachable picker, builtin_fcfs, leaves
both hooks NULL) but structurally identical to bug-1613's class of bug.
Relocated plugin_begin_session()/plugin_end_session() from an implicit
xce_scheduler_t* to xce_sched_core_t* directly (mirroring
sched_account_jobs()'s prior relocation) -- their bodies never touched
anything beyond core->plugins, so driver.c's comment claiming they
"needed the full xce_scheduler_t*" was itself stale. sim_loop.c now
calls both, same relative position as driver.c. A full-tree grep (done
after the first build attempt failed on an untouched file) turned up a
third live call site in scheduler.c's legacy sched_begin_session()/
sched_end_session(), plus four testsuite files with their own stub
definitions of the same functions -- all updated to match the new
signature.
Extended test_sim_session_ordering.c's existing bug-1613 regression
tests with new plugin_begin_session()/plugin_end_session() spies
(call-count + session_active-window proof, same technique as the
existing sched_account_jobs spy). RED/GREEN independently verified:
temporarily disabled the two new call sites, confirmed both new
assertions fail (Expected 2 Was 0 / Expected 1 Was 0), restored,
reconfirmed green. Full scheduler suite: 51/52 green, the one failure
is the pre-existing unrelated bug-1560 sandbox flake.

Extends task 2.1's test_scheduler_dispatch_commit.c with two tests
proving resource-in-use accounting survives more than a single round
boundary between dispatch and worker confirmation, per task 5.1's
"several rounds" / "matching a same-round confirmation" language:
- test_dispatch_commit_survives_several_rounds_before_confirmation:
loops 5 round-boundary cycles, asserting resInUse after EVERY round,
not just once.
- test_dispatch_commit_multi_round_gap_matches_same_round_confirmation:
compares resInUse after 1 round vs after 5 rounds and asserts
equality -- a same-round confirmation is modeled as nrounds==1 since
design.md documents re-applying JOB_STAT_RUN to an already-RUN job as
a confirmed no-op, so resInUse depends only on job->state, never on
confirmation timing.
Test-only; scheduler.c is untouched. RED phase independently verified
by both implementer and reviewer via an actual revert-rebuild-rerun
cycle (4/5 tests fail without the task 2.1 fix). Independently reviewed
and approved.

Adds a case for NotifyData_data_jobDispatchFail to sched_handle_notify()'s
switch, fixing bug-1625 -- the notify was previously silently discarded
(falling to default: -EINVAL), leaving job->accounts/job->allocs stale
forever on any dispatch failure. No classification logic here: the
controller has already decided PEND is correct before sending the notify;
this reuses the same XCE_SCHED_OP_JSTATE_CHANGE enqueue path the adjacent
schedExitJob/schedFailJob cases already use, and relies on core_events.c's
existing free-on-non-RUN branch to release the stale accounts/allocs.
Independently reviewed and approved: full scheduler suite passes (51/52,

sched_commit_decision()'s DISPATCH branch now sets job->state = JOB_STAT_RUN
in the same operation that already commits job->allocs/job->accounts, per
Requirement 1.1/1.2/1.3. sched_account_jobs()'s existing JOB_IS_RUN gate is
unmodified -- this closes bug-1624 by giving it the input it was missing: a
dispatched job now survives a round boundary in resource-in-use totals
regardless of how many rounds pass before worker confirmation arrives.
Regression test drives the real, unmodified sched_account_jobs() across a
simulated round boundary (resInUse reset, no confirmation event) and
independently reverting the one-line change reproduces bug-1624 exactly.

The original motivating recording (scheduler-replay-20260820-070103.replay,
named in bug-1611) no longer exists anywhere on disk -- confirmed via
exhaustive filesystem search. Substituted a real, driven 24-round/12-job
resource-constrained recording using actual driver.c/builtin_fcfs/resource.c
code, replayed through the real, unmodified interactive REPL.
This also surfaced and honestly documents a real structural limit:
Recorded-Decision Reconciliation only succeeds when a job's recorded
DISPATCH decision and its JOB_STATE_CHANGE-to-RUN confirmation land in the
SAME replay round (reconciliation searches only that round's own decoded
data). Constructing that exact coincidence from organic, continuous
scheduling is structurally impossible -- a job can't be both "freshly PEND
for this round's picker" and "already RUN before this round's picker runs"
at once. One job (ANCHOR_ID) engineers this coincidence using entirely
real constructors (matching the same precedent tasks 3 and 4.1 already
established); the other 11 jobs arrive/contend/dispatch/finish with zero
special-casing across all 24 real rounds. Recorded in tasks.md's
Implementation Notes as a scope finding for follow-up: in a real deployment
with genuine dispatch-to-confirmation latency, this narrows the feature's
real-world coverage of bug-1611/1613's dominant manifestation.
RED phase: reverting task 3's reconciliation call site makes this test
fail with the exact bug-1611 symptom in its own assertion message, plus 3
sibling tests break too; restored and green. No production code touched
(final task in the feature -- all production work landed in task 3).
50/51 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560
(unrelated).

Four checks in one run: (a) REPL-vs-batch decision equivalence unmodified
and still passing; (b) --sim-verify reports no false mismatch for a
recording with multiple already-resolved jobs across rounds (non-adjacent
memmove compaction, no cross-round bleed); (c) a replay starting from a
snapshot with a job already RUN-state and no in-window recorded decision
degrades gracefully (no crash, no fabricated value, a second ordinary job
unaffected) -- the first test to exercise reconciliation's "not found"
path through the real sched_sim_driver_run()/xce_sched_core_load_snapshot()
path rather than a hand-built core; (d) normal-mode behavior is byte-for-
byte unchanged (zero production diff, the strongest possible evidence).
Found and fixed a real test-authoring gap while building (b): builtin_fcfs
re-offers a still-PEND job as a fresh PEND every round (confirmed
pre-existing, unrelated, also visible in test_repl_equivalence.c's own
fixture) -- the first draft's round-2 fixture omitted this recurrence.
No production code touched (task 3 already completed the feature) --
git diff on sim_loop.c/resource.c/scheduler.c/driver.c/sim_verify.c is
empty. 49/50 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560

Adds an integration test comparing round-by-round resInUse and scheduling
outcomes between a real driven normal-mode recording and a simulation-mode
replay of the identical contention scenario (worker capacity 10.0, jobs
wanting 8.0/5.0/2.0, plus a 4th job proving cross-round persistence).
Confirmed (by direct read of sim_picker_thread_fn(), independently
re-verified in review) that sim's live picker is structurally PEND-only --
it has no capacity-check/dispatch path for a freshly-evaluated job. This
means task 1.2's single-round fixture cannot be literally replayed-and-
diffed for full parity: that comparison would be tautological for
freshly-arriving jobs (sim always PENDs them regardless of accounting
correctness) and can't prove multi-round persistence anyway. Built instead
as a real recording plus a hand-crafted sim fixture modeling the identical
facts, including an already-resolved-before-replay job to exercise
reconciliation -- the same documented-carve-out approach test_sim_equivalence.c
already established for PEND-only proofs, applied here to reconciled jobs too.
No production code touched (task 3 already completed the feature). RED
phase proven by temporarily reverting task 3's reconciliation call site:
new test failed with "Expected 10 Was 0", restored and green.

This is the integration point that makes the whole feature real
end-to-end. Calls sim_reconcile_unaccounted_jobs() (tasks 2.2-2.4) at
exactly the position design.md's mermaid diagram requires: after
xce_core_begin_session()'s reset, strictly before sched_account_jobs()
(so the same round's re-charge picks up every newly-reconstructed job,
Req 1.3/1.4) and before xce_core_signal_go() unblocks the live picker (so
still-pending jobs' capacity checks this round see correct resInUse, Req
2.1/2.2). decoded_session and record_ctx are the same per-round locals
sched_sim_driver_run() already declares -- no new plumbing.
sim_verify.c needs zero changes: reconciliation consumes/compacts
decoded_session->decisions before the verify drain loop runs each round,
which is what keeps the existing positional comparison correct (Req 5.2)
-- confirmed by extending test_sim_verify.c with a no-false-mismatch test
against a recording containing already-resolved jobs.
New end-to-end test proves the ordering matters for real: a reconciled
job's resInUse is charged before a live sched_check_host_satisfy() call
for a different job in the same round correctly denies it (5.0 wanted vs
2.0 remaining) and grants an exact-fit request (2.0) -- using the real
scheduler.c/resource.c accounting and capacity-check code, not stubs.
Found and fixed a test-authoring bug (get_resvals() returns nres on
success, not 0) during GREEN verification -- logged as bug-1622, a test
bug, not production.
47/48 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560

Feeds a reconciled job's decision (task 2.3) through the exact same
recording/print/REPL-check calls the existing decision-drain loop uses for
a freshly-drained decision, via make_dispatch_decision() -- the same
DISPATCH-construction idiom the live allocator path already uses.
Dedup (Requirement 3.3) needs no new mechanism: the job->accounts gate
from tasks 2.2/2.3 already prevents double-reporting, now proven at the
reporting layer too (zero recorded decisions / no console output for an
already-accounted job).
Required extending sim_reconcile_unaccounted_jobs()'s signature with a
third parameter, a nullable recording-context handle -- design.md's
Service Interface updated to match, with the confirmed reasoning: the
handle only exists as a stack-local inside the round loop, and task 3's
still-unwired call site sits in that same scope, so this is necessary
plumbing, not scope creep.

Extends sim_reconcile_unaccounted_jobs()'s FOUND branch: takes ownership of
a matched recorded DISPATCH decision's allocation (job->allocs = entry's
alloc, not a copy -- mirrors scheduler.c's sched_commit_decision()
precedent exactly), builds job->accounts via make_job_account(), then
safely consumes the recorded entry -- nulling the source alloc pointer
BEFORE freeing the entry (preventing a double-free through job->allocs),
then compacting decoded_session->decisions via shift-down (memmove, never
swap-with-last, which would reorder the remaining entries and break the
positional --sim-verify comparison a later task depends on).
Fixed a real correctness bug found while implementing: the "not found"
check (i == n_decisions) goes stale once n_decisions can be decremented
mid-loop by compaction -- replaced with an explicit found flag.
Primary correctness bar: reconcile-then-release-through-normal-job-cleanup
is ASAN-clean. Verified with ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 (beyond this
suite's registered detect_leaks=0): zero double-free/UAF/overflow. Found
and logged (not fixed, out of boundary) a real pre-existing leak in
src/lib/misc.c's free_host_account() -- equally present on the live
dispatch path, bug-1621.

Adds sim_reconcile_unaccounted_jobs(xce_sched_sim_driver_t*, replay_session_t*)
to sim_loop.c -- not yet wired into the round boundary (task 3). Once per
call, finds every RUN-state job with job->accounts == NULL (the signature of
a job already resolved before this replay's own live decision-making ever
considered it) and searches this round's decoded recorded-decision stream
for a matching DISPATCH entry by jobid.
This task implements only the trigger + lookup + not-found path: when no
match exists, the job's allocation is left unknown (not fabricated), no
error is raised, and the job is safe to re-check next round (Requirement
4.1, 4.2). Match-found reconstruction (ownership transfer, freeing/
compacting the consumed entry, reporting) is tasks 2.3/2.4, not implemented
here -- decoded_session's decisions are read but not yet mutated.
6 new tests cover: not-found leaves job unaccounted, cross-round safety,
already-accounted jobs are skipped, a same-jobid PEND entry is correctly
not mistaken for a DISPATCH match, non-RUN-state jobs are gated out, and
NULL-argument safety. RED phase: compile-error-before/link-succeeds-after,
the correct RED variant for genuinely new code with no prior behavior.
46/47 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560

Replaces sim_loop.c's monolithic xce_core_go() with the same
xce_core_begin_session() -> sched_account_jobs() -> xce_core_signal_go()
sequence driver.c already uses for normal-mode rounds, opening the same
interleaving window and calling the now-core-level accounting service
(task 1.1) at the same relative position. Error-handling for a failed
session start is preserved byte-for-byte (same cleanup, same rc source).
Both interactive and batch simulation runs go through this one call site.
This is bug-1613's wiring half: sim_loop.c now calls sched_account_jobs()
at all (it never did before). resInUse is still zero end-to-end after this
task alone, because job->accounts is never populated by any live path in
sim mode yet -- that's Recorded-Decision Reconciliation (tasks 2.2-2.4),
not yet implemented; a comment marks where it slots in.
Adds a call-count/session-window regression test proving the wiring itself
(RED-phase reproduced live via git stash + rebuild, matching bug-1613's
symptom exactly). 8 sibling white-box test files needed a link-satisfying
sched_account_jobs() stub, discovered via actual linker errors.

Adds a dual-use .replay fixture (3 jobs competing for insufficient worker
capacity) that later tasks need to prove capacity-aware parity under
contention: a real recorded normal-mode session (built by driving the
genuine sched_check_host_satisfy()/sched_commit_job_alloc() capacity/
accounting chain, not mocked) that is also directly replayable through the
real simulation driver. Two tests: fixture shape (job B genuinely denied
while A+C hold the full 10.0-unit capacity, verified against the decoded
recorded decision stream) and sim-driver replayability.
RED-phase proven: raising WORKER_CAPACITY to eliminate contention makes the
shape assertion fail as expected before reverting to the genuine-contention
value. 44/45 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560

Relocates sched_account_jobs()/sched_charge_account()/sched_uncharge_account()/
sched_update_account()/sched_update_res_accounts()/sched_commit_job_alloc()
from xce_scheduler_t* to xce_sched_core_t*, mirroring the sched_resolve_job_picker()
precedent, so the simulation driver can call the same accounting service the
normal-mode driver already uses. Pure signature relocation -- every body
reference was already sched->core.*, no logic change. Updates the 3 real call
sites (driver.c's normal-mode round, scheduler.c's sched_begin_session and
sched_commit_decision) and 7 existing tests' link-satisfying stub signatures.

controller/main.c and scheduler/src/main.c now compose argp_program_version
via a genuinely separate buffer/call to xce_compose_version_ex() (reading
STR(VERSION_DIRTY_FINGERPRINT), matching the existing commit_id/build_time
macro pattern). The startup-log composition call site -- same function,
same arguments, same buffer -- is left completely unchanged in both files.
controller/testsuite/test.c (xce_test, confirmed to have no startup log)
gets a direct in-place swap. All three files carry explicit comments
marking the --version/startup-log divergence as deliberate.
Verified independently by review with real builds and live daemon starts:
--version shows <commit>-<fingerprint> for all three binaries, matching
compile_commands.json; live startup logs for both daemons show the
unchanged old <commit>-dirty format with the fingerprint never present.

Migrates argp_program_version in controller/main.c, scheduler/main.c,

to xce_compose_version(), computed into a static buffer and assigned
before argp_parse() runs (argp_program_version is a file-scope pointer,
not a constant expression it can be initialized from at compile time).
Each daemon's startup log now carries the identical version string
(never recomputed) on its first INFO line -- scheduler's BOTH
mutually-exclusive branches (--peers and no-peers), not just the one
literally named in the task text, since "when the daemon starts" is
unconditional.

both daemons across all branches. No remaining MK_VERSION callers
repo-wide.

repl_print_event_summary() (interactive REPL event echo) now prefixes
each echoed event with "[sim] t=<ns> (<human>) session=<N>", using the
same xce_core_now()/repl_format_ts_human()/session_count sources "info
session" already reports. Uses session_count+1, not the raw count:
events stream in and are echoed individually before the ReplaySession/
begin_round message that increments session_count is even read (file
order is event, event, ..., ReplaySession), so an echoed event always
belongs to the session about to begin.
Add sim_prescan_session_count() (sim.c): scans the replay file from the
current position via shape-only classification (mirroring sim_loop.c's
own ReplayEvent/ReplaySession/SnapshotEntry dispatch), counts
ReplaySession messages, then rewinds via fseek back to the exact ftell()
position -- same rewind technique sim_locate_and_load_snapshot() already
uses. Wired into sched_sim_driver_start(): prints "[sim] replay file
contains N sessions" once at load, non-fatal on scan failure.

repl_info_worker_one() ("info worker <name>") unconditionally showed a
total=/available= pair for every numeric per-worker resource, regardless
of whether it was actually consumable -- misleading for a static
per-worker attribute nothing ever allocates against.
repl_info_resource_one() ("info resource <name|all>") never reported a
consumable GLOBAL/SHARED resource's in-use amount at all, even though
core->sharedInUse (the cluster-wide mirror of a worker's resInUse)
already exists and is populated by the real resource-accounting code.
Both now gate on XCE_RESF_CONSUMABLE: consumable resources report
value=<capacity> used=<in-use>, non-consumable resources keep a single
value=<current> line. Also added the resource definition's missing
ordtype= field.
Add test_info_resource_reports_consumable_value_and_used and

Correct filtering (bug-1593: only XCE_RESF_GLOBAL/XCE_RESF_SHARED
resources list under "all") but confusing UX: a session with only
host-based resources (e.g. just "slots") produced zero output lines,
indistinguishable from a REPL/dispatch bug. Now prints an explicit
"no global/shared resources defined" message when the count is zero.
xce_scheduler link-wraps printf (-Wl,--wrap=printf, src/meson.build's
wrap_link_args) to route every plain printf() call through tlog, stamping
the full "[timestamp] [pid] [LEVEL] [xce_vprintf]" prefix. sim_print_decision()
(sim_loop.c) used plain printf() for its DISPATCH/PEND/PREEMPT lines, so
those lines carried that prefix while every sibling "[sim] ..." line in
the same REPL/sim output (event echoes, breakpoint hits, banners, info
command output -- all fprintf(stdout, ...)) stayed prefix-free. Found via
a live deployment log. Switched to fprintf(stdout, ...), matching the
established convention everywhere else in this codebase.
Invisible to the entire prior test suite for a structural reason: only
the real xce_scheduler executable links with wrap_link_args, not the
white-box unit-test binaries, so printf() and fprintf(stdout, ...) were
indistinguishable inside any unit test. Added a mechanical regression
guard instead of a runtime test: test_no_bare_printf.c source-scans every
src/scheduler/src/*.c and src/scheduler/src/plugins/*.c file for a bare
printf( call (same source-text-scan genre as test_core_isolation.c).
Two retrospective design-review findings:
- design.md's System Flows sequence diagram showed the controller-layer
resval check as an independently-launched client session, implying no
dependency on the injecting worker staying connected. As-built (bug-1579),
host-attrs resources reset to baseline the instant the worker disconnects,
so the check actually runs nested inside the still-open worker session via
xce_test's `!` shell-escape. Updated the diagram and prose to show this,
and documented the still-open residual risk for custom host-attrs
resource names in Error Handling.
- Added explicit "do not change this format" warning comments at both
trace-log call sites (core_events.c's RESVALS_DELTA case, apiserver's
OnResourceLocationUpdated) that xce-test-resources' log-grep depends on --
an unrelated logging cleanup at either site would otherwise silently turn
every future verification run into a false UNREACHABLE/timeout.
No behavior change in either source file -- comments only.
test_core_isolation.c's build-time proof (nm(1) undefined-symbol scan of
sched_core_isolation_lib) previously covered only core.c -- core.c's own
800-line-cap siblings, holding scheduling logic just as boundary-sensitive
as core.c itself, were "isolation-clean by review" only, with nothing
mechanical catching a regression. Extends sched_core_isolation_lib to
compile all four files together, and the source-text scans (forbidden
headers/symbols, wall-clock calls) to also cover core_events.c/
core_session.c. core_clock.c joins only the nm(1) layer, not the
wall-clock text scan -- it's the one sanctioned exception carrying the
core family's single legitimate clock_gettime() call.
sched_sim_driver_start() now registers the core's tlog format function and
marks its core active for logging right after the virtual clock is seeded
(xce_core_register_tlog_format()/xce_core_set_active_for_logging()) --
every log line for the rest of the run shows frozen/scaled replay time
instead of real wall-clock time, matching what an operator debugging
against a replay's own timeline needs. sched_sim_driver_run() deactivates
on all 7 of its return paths, since there's no sim-driver teardown
function and g_active_core_for_logging would otherwise dangle past the
caller's stack frame.
Also fixes a genuine pre-existing ASAN stack-use-after-return (bug-1598)
the new deactivation test exposed: sim_picker_thread_fn is spawned but, by
design, never joined/cancelled, so a stack-local `xce_sched_sim_driver_t
sim` in test_sim_event_loop.c was always a latent UAF once its owning test
function returned -- just not previously triggered by any prior test
ordering. Switched the three affected fixtures in that file to `static`
storage (safe: sched_sim_driver_start() memsets the whole struct on entry,
and none of the three call sites are re-entrant).
Bugs fixed, discovered across a day of live-operator testing against a
real deployed cluster:
- bug-1584: clock anchors never initialized to real wall-clock values,
timestamps showed system uptime instead of Unix epoch.
- bug-1585: heap-use-after-free in the normal-mode driver's periodic
resval update path -- core_events.c's RESVALS_FULL/_DELTA handlers do a
shallow zarray_put() of the wire-decoded xce_val_t*, but driver.c's
release_translated_payload() unconditionally freed the same decoded
array right after, so the next periodic report for the same
worker+resource triggered a UAF read via kill_sched_resval(). New
regression test: test_resval_ownership.c.
- bug-1587/1588/1591: raw-ns/raw-uint64 jobid/timestamp prints across the
REPL/SIM family converted to the same human-readable formatting already
used elsewhere (fmt_jobid(), timestamp formatting).
- bug-1590: repl_info.c's XCE_VAL_NUMERIC checks corrected to
Value_u_fvalue, fixing `info worker`/`info resource` falling back to
0.00 for real numeric resvals.
task 12.5 (Req 5.22 amendment) -- five REPL gaps surfaced by a live
operator session, each with its own bug id:
- bug-1594: `continue`/`step` reaching EOF with no breakpoint hit now
re-enters the REPL via xce_repl_on_replay_complete() instead of exiting
the process; step/continue issued after replay is already complete
re-prompt instead of silently exiting.
- bug-1595: `step`/`continue` now echo each input event (not just
decisions) via repl_print_event_summary(), in real event/decision
order.
- bug-1593: `info resource <name>|all` now reports resource definition
metadata restricted to XCE_RESF_GLOBAL/XCE_RESF_SHARED resources, read
from core->sharedInst, instead of aggregating host-based resources
across every worker.
- bug-1596: repl_split_tokens() strips one matching pair of surrounding
quote characters from each token.
See requirements.md's Req 5 AC 22 "Amendment (2026-08-19)" for the full
rationale on each of the five task 12.5 gaps.
Full scheduler suite green (41/42; the one remaining failure,
test_recordstart_symlink_escape_replies_error, is the pre-existing
unrelated bug-1560).
One TRACE (tlog_debug3) line in xce_core_push_events()'s RESVALS_DELTA case,
logging host/resource/value in a fixed format ("resval applied host=...
resource=... value=..."), immediately after the value is written to the
worker's live state. Debug-level only, no control-flow change.
Explicit svalue/fvalue branching (round-2 fix after review) - never reads a
Value_u_t union member without confirming .which matches first, since
Value_u_bvalue (boolean resources) is reachable at this path in production
and would otherwise be misread as a garbage float.
Live-confirmed against a real deployment at -vvv. Also surfaced (but did not
fix, out of boundary) a pre-existing double-free crash on a resource's
second periodic report - logged as bug-1572.

No job could ever be scheduled in normal mode -- every round produced
decision=(nil), forever. Three independent bugs were stacked on the
same symptom, each masking the next (only reachable once the prior
one was fixed):
1. scheduler.c's sched_init_queues() -- the scheduler's one-time
synchronous initial-config-push handler -- only fired the legacy
job_elect_fn-era plugin_queue_update() fan-out. builtin_fcfs (the
default picker) has no .hooks, only picker_iface, so
on_queue_update() was never called for any queue from the initial
cluster config. Its own candidate registry stayed empty forever,
so next_job() found zero candidates on every session.
2. Once #1 was fixed and a job first reached the allocator,
core_events.c's core_build_job() never constructed job->schedobj
-- a documented but incorrect assumption from the scheduler-core
rewrite ("no picker hook reads job->schedobj... belongs to a
separate allocation spec" -- no such spec exists in the live
code). sched_allocator() dereferences it directly with no NULL
check; reproduced live as a SIGSEGV in limit_job_election().
3. Once #2 was fixed and a job reached genuine dispatch,
resource.c's put_resvals() crashed during post-dispatch resource
charging: `idxs[i] <= 0` treated resource index 0 ("slots",
almost always the first registered resource) as an invalid
sentinel, leaving its value slot NULL for an unconditional write
two lines later.
All three root-caused via gdb `bt full` on live SIGSEGVs, not
guesswork, and live-verified end-to-end: a 3-element job array now
runs PEND -> DISPATCH -> RUN -> DONE with the scheduler staying alive
throughout.

collect_load_indices() (resource_sync.c) tagged every periodic
mem/r1m/r15m/r15s/ut/pg/ls/it/swp/io/tmp report with gethostname()'s
raw OS/container hostname instead of the worker's own join identity
(xcecd_ctx.virtual_name, the -n/--name value). Every other worker-keyed
lookup downstream (scheduler's sched_get_worker(), and the same
HOOK_DETAIL_RESOURCE_UPDATE payload forwarded on to the Go apiserver)
matches by that join identity, so the mismatch silently dropped every
periodic resource report for the real worker.
Also adds a startup INFO log (main.c) naming the resolved job picker
plugin, used to rule out a legacy-picker hypothesis while chasing a
related (still-open) dispatch issue.

xce_scheduler -i -s <replay>: "info worker <name>" showed
total=0.00 available=0.00 for every resource, even though the live
cluster (xce_test resval/workerlist) reported real non-zero values
for the same worker.
Two independent root causes, both live-traced end-to-end against a
real deployed cluster (value-level TRACE at every hop: controller
push, scheduler apply, snapshot save, snapshot load/decode):
1. src/scheduler/src/core_events.c: XCE_CORE_EVENT_WORKERS_PUSH
called sched_add_worker() -- a plain key_add(), add-only --
unconditionally on every push. A worker connecting triggers
multiple WORKERS_PUSH events in quick succession (an early push
before the controller finishes writing real capacity values,
carrying stale/zero data, followed moments later by a push
carrying the real values). The FIRST push always won the race;
every push after it for the same worker name silently failed
-EEXIST and its resource values were discarded -- not just at
join, for the rest of the process's lifetime (unlike jobs, there
was no "update an existing worker" event path at all). Fixed via
a new core_upsert_worker() (mirrors the existing
core_upsert_queue() add-or-update precedent): looks up the
worker by name first, updates status+resvals in place if found,
else builds+adds a new one as before.
2. src/scheduler/src/repl_info.c: repl_info_worker_one()/
repl_info_resource_one() checked `xce_val_t.which ==
XCE_VAL_NUMERIC` -- but XCE_VAL_NUMERIC (xce/types.h, value 1)
is a resource-DEFINITION value-type constant
(xce_resource_t.valtype's own enum), a completely different enum
from xce_val_t.which's real domain, Value_u_which
(controller.capnp.h, Value_u_fvalue=5). Every producer in this
codebase sets xce_val_t.which to Value_u_fvalue, never
XCE_VAL_NUMERIC, so the comparison was always false -- every
genuinely-numeric resval displayed as 0.00 unconditionally,
independent of fix (1). Corrected all 4 occurrences to
Value_u_fvalue.
Both fixed via TDD (RED test before each fix, GREEN after):
test_core_events.c's test_workers_push_twice_updates_existing_
worker_in_place (two pushes, same name, different values -- both
must apply) and test_repl_breakpoints_inspection.c's
test_info_worker_reports_resource_values (a real numeric resval
must display, not fall back to 0.00).
Live-validated by reproducing the user's exact original scenario
end-to-end (deploy a real cluster, record, `xce_scheduler -i -s
<replay>`, `info worker <name>`) -- now shows slots=22.00,
maxmem=33182089216.00 (30.9GB), mem=17151664128.00 (16GB), matching
the user's own live xce_test resval/workerlist numbers exactly.
Full scheduler suite green (41/41, excluding pre-existing unrelated
bug-1560); controller suite green (1102/1104, the same pre-existing
bug-1561 pair, confirmed unrelated to this change).

xce_scheduler -i -s <replay>: WARN "failed to resolve job picker
plugin (rc=-2)" on load, and every job already present in the
replay file's INITIAL snapshot stayed PEND forever -- never even
reached the picker, let alone got dispatched.
Root cause: sched_sim_driver_start() (sim.c) loads the initial
snapshot via xce_sched_core_load_snapshot() BEFORE any picker
plugin is registered (sim.h's own documented "Known scope
boundary" -- only the picker's NAME is threaded through from the
ReplayHeader). sched_resolve_job_picker() therefore always returns
-ENOENT there, and xce_sched_core_load_snapshot()'s own
picker-rebuild walk (on_queue_update/on_job_push per queue/job) is
silently skipped. The real builtin_fcfs picker only gets registered
moments later in sched_sim_driver_run() -- but nothing then replayed
that rebuild walk, so any job/queue from the INITIAL snapshot (as
opposed to one arriving later via a ReplayEvent, which correctly
reaches the picker through xce_core_push_events()'s own picker!=NULL
check) was permanently invisible to next_job().
Fixed by a new file, sim_picker.c: sim_bootstrap_picker() (replacing
sim_loop.c's sim_register_default_picker(), moved out because
sim_loop.c was already at its own documented 800-line "zero
line-budget headroom" cap) registers the picker AND then replays the
missed rebuild walk against it. Wired into scheduler_srcs,
sched_sim_isolation_lib, and all 9 white-box test TUs that #include
sim_loop.c directly.
New regression test (test_sim_event_loop.c): a job baked into a
fixture's INITIAL snapshot (not a ReplayEvent) now gets a live PEND
decision. RED confirmed by temporarily no-op'ing the rebuild walk
(test failed as expected), GREEN with the real fix. Full scheduler
suite green (41/41, excluding the pre-existing unrelated bug-1560).
Note: sim mode still never DISPATCHes (only PENDs) -- that is a
separate, intentionally out-of-scope gap (real resource-matching
allocation belongs to the not-yet-designed scheduler-allocation
spec), not addressed here.

Proves task 3.2's retry-until-success-or-shutdown wrapper's guarantees
hold across multiple queued decisions drained through the real
xce_sched_driver_on_decision(), not just a single isolated call:
decisions queued behind a stuck one publish afterward in original
order (Req 7 AC3), and shutdown mid-retry costs at most one retry
cycle regardless of queue depth -- decisions behind the stuck one see
core.stop already true and are never attempted (Req 7 AC2). Also adds
a source-scan confirming this stays scoped to the scheduler's own
publish direction (Req 7 AC5) and a fresh-instance test confirming a
restart still loses in-flight queued decisions, unchanged by this work
(Req 7 AC6).
Pure test-coverage task -- zero production changes, matching the
review's independently-reproduced RED->GREEN evidence that the
existing task-3.2 implementation already satisfies these guarantees.

Adds a worst-case-occupancy test proving the scheduler's picker/allocator
pipeline buffers briefly past a stalled publish (decisions cbuf cap 5,
jbuf cap 1) then genuinely blocks until connectivity recovers, with zero
job loss (Req 3 AC2). Adds a source-scan regression guard confirming the
scheduler makes no periodic heartbeat call of its own (Req 3 AC3).
Also fixes a real gap found along the way: sched_init()'s
all-candidates-unreachable and join-failure log lines named only a
candidate count, never which candidates were attempted (same class of
bug worker's task 2.3 fixed). Added sched_format_candidate_list(),
covered by a real dup2()-based stdout capture around a live sched_init()
failure path (round-1 review caught this diagnostic shipping with zero
test coverage; fixed in round 2).
Multi-candidate join and kill-primary/reconnect were validated manually
against a live 3-node cluster rather than committed as an automated
test, following worker's task 2.3 precedent -- no automated live-deploy
E2E harness exists for any C daemon in this repo.

Wraps sched_publish_dispatch()/sched_publish_pend_reason() in a shared
retry loop that keeps retrying a -E_XCE_NOT_READY-exhausted publish
until it succeeds or the scheduler is shutting down (core.stop checked
before each attempt, not only after), composed with the pending-rejoin
follow-up established in task 3.1. Extended-retry success logs
distinctly from an ordinary first-attempt success (Req 7 AC4).

Replace scheduler's inline per-candidate loop and separate single-host
branch with one unified pipeline (mirrors worker's task 2.1 fix): build
exactly one validated candidate list, whether from --peers or synthesized
as a single candidate from the legacy default, then connect through the
shared xce_cluster_config_to_client_config() helper exactly once.
Adds sched_on_reconnect(), a rejoin callback that only sets a flag and
returns immediately (no I/O, no xcecli_* calls) to avoid the self-deadlock
worker hit in task 2.3 — registered via xcecli_set_reconnect_handler()
after xcecli_start(), since xcecli_start() resets any handler registered
earlier back to NULL.
Adds test_scheduler_connect.c: behavioral tests confirm no-peers and
single-candidate configs produce identical connect log sequences and that
unreachable candidates fail fast without retry loops; structural tests
source-scan scheduler.c to confirm a single xcecli_ctx_init() call site, a
single xcecli_join() call site, and a rejoin callback body free of I/O and
xcecli_* calls.
Live-validated against a 3-node HA controller cluster: a scheduler
configured with the standby listed first in --peers fails over via
xcecli's built-in retry-next mechanism to the primary and joins
successfully.

N_MAX_MASTERS (client.h) now derives from config.h's MAX_HA_CANDIDATES
instead of an independently-maintained literal (3 vs 4 previously).
Fixes worker's and scheduler's hardcoded `> 3` startup checks to
reference the constant symbolically, and updates the client-retry
test fixture so it doesn't exercise an uninitialized 4th slot.
Task 1.1 of component-failover-adoption (Requirement 1 AC7).
- Change default record_dir from /var/log/xce/ to /tmp (always exists)
- Add mkdir(record_dir, 0755) at startup for custom --record-dir paths
- Split validation_error_text into 6 distinct per-errno messages
- Accept human-readable job IDs in 'info job' via parse_jobid()
- Add 'info jobs' command to list all jobs in sim REPL
- Format job IDs with fmt_jobid() for xce_test-consistent output
- Replace printf with fprintf(stdout, ...) in all REPL files
to bypass -Wl,--wrap=printf linker interception
The file was untouched since before scheduler-core and still described
a plain plugin-selects-at-runtime engine with a generic meson build
command. Documents the actual core/driver split, the picker plugin
interface and its builtin_fcfs/fcfs.c split, the simulation driver and
replay/recording machinery, and the interactive REPL, plus the correct
/xce-build invocation and the project's 800-line-file-cap convention
this module's several *_events.c/*_session.c-style splits follow.

Adds the final task of "Core: Interactive REPL" (Req 5 AC 22): proves
the REPL's own documented invariant -- "step/continue to completion
produces byte-identical output to batch --sim" (design.md SimDriver
Invariants).
test_repl_equivalence.c runs the same sched_sim_driver_run() on the
same 3-session/9-decision fixture twice: once batch (interactive=
false), once REPL-driven via freopen()'d scripted "step 1\ncontinue\n"
stdin into the real repl_command_loop()/readline() path (same
mechanism test_repl_execution_control.c established) -- then
structurally decodes both runs' --sim-output and compares decision
content. Test-only; zero production code changed.
RED-phase probe (planted in xce_repl_on_event(), reverted, zero
residue) confirmed the comparison is real: corrupting one job's id
under interactive mode broke exactly this test plus the 3 other REPL
tests that share the same hook, none else.
Scheduler suite: 37/37 clean (was 36/36). Task group 12 (Interactive
REPL, tasks 12.1-12.4) is now complete.

Adds `snapshot [FILE]` and `set speed|output|verify ...`/`info config`
(Req 5 AC 22 "Snapshots"/"Simulation parameters") to the interactive
simulation REPL.
`snapshot` reuses sim_record.c's existing sim_record_write_header_and_
snapshot() (task 11.5) rather than reimplementing capnp encoding, so
the produced file is genuinely loadable via a fresh --sim invocation
-- the task's own Observable. `set speed`/`set output`/`set verify`
mutate fields sim_loop.c and core_clock.c already read fresh on every
event/session, so no new hook points were needed and sim_loop.c stays
untouched at exactly 800/800 lines (this project's hard per-file cap).
New repl_params.c is a fourth sibling in the repl.c/repl_break.c/
repl_info.c split (task 12.2's precedent) -- neither existing file had
headroom left under the 800-line cap for this task's own logic.
Scheduler suite: 36/36 clean (was 35/35). Review independently
reproduced the RED-phase probe and additionally verified the
snapshot round-trip Observable is non-vacuous.

Adds the interactive simulation REPL's breakpoint and state-inspection
commands (Req 5 AC 22): `break <event_type> [key=value ...]` / `info
break` / `delete <id>|all` on event and decision types, and `info
session/job/queue/worker/resource/summary`.
repl.c (370 lines after task 12.1) couldn't hold this task's full
surface under the project's 800-line cap, so it's split three ways
(matching the snapshot.c/snapshot_wire.c/snapshot_load.c precedent):
repl.c (execution control + dispatch), repl_break.c (matching/CRUD +
the three new driver-facing hooks), repl_info.c (info dumps), sharing
state via repl_internal.h. sim_loop.c gained 3 new bare hook calls
(repl.h inline wrappers, same pattern as task 12.1's two) at the
points design.md's pseudocode requires -- per decoded event before it
joins the batch, per session boundary, and per drained decision --
landing sim_loop.c at exactly 800/800 lines.
Two real bugs found and fixed during development (bug-1506, bug-1507):
an uninitialized xstr_table left breakpoint filter fields silently
NULL instead of failing loud, and repl_breakpoint_free() called a bare
free() on an RTTI-refcounted makeString() string, corrupting the heap.
Review found one gap: `info job` printed only a resreq presence flag
instead of the actual resreq text, when format_resreq() already
existed in this repo for exactly this purpose. Fixed to match.
Scheduler suite: 35/35 clean (was 34/34). RED-phase evidence (2 real
bugs plus 2 synthetic probes, all reverted with confirmed zero

Adds the interactive simulation REPL's execution-control slice (Req 5
AC 22): a single-threaded input loop (readline-based) supporting
step [N], continue, quit, and help, pausing before the first replay
event and blocking the driver loop while active.
Review round 1 raised two findings, both resolved here:
- GNU readline (GPL) was linked directly into xce_scheduler, a shipped
production daemon. Switched the whole project to libedit (BSD) for
line editing -- scheduler and controller (xce_test) both now use
editline/readline.h, API-compatible (readline()/add_history()).
- Getting a clean regression run after the libedit swap required a
full clean rebuild, which exposed a genuine pre-existing SIGSEGV
(bug-1504): SnapshotData.internalState was a capnp Data field, and
this codebase's capnpc-c backend silently no-ops Data-field
encoding without zero-initializing the caller's stack struct,
leaving an uninitialized capn_ptr written onto the wire. Fixed by
switching internalState to List(UInt8) (with a new internalStateLen
wire field), matching the working FetchFileReply.content/bytesRead
precedent -- no hand-written accessor code needed.
A second, unrelated instance of the same bug class was found in the
controller's WAL-catchup path (WalCatchupEntry.payload) and
deliberately left unfixed as bug-1505, out of scheduler-core's
boundary; needs its own project-wide Data-field audit.
Scheduler suite: 34/34 clean. RED-phase reproduction recorded in
tasks.md (repl_should_pause() step-budget check disabled -> 2/4
tests fail as expected -> reverted -> 34/34 green).

Chain the already-shipped recording (task 9.2) and sim-output (tasks
11.1-11.5) pipelines: record a synthetic multi-queue session through the
normal-mode driver, replay it through the simulation driver with
--sim-output, and assert the two .replay files' decisions match in full
structural content. This is the spec's central validation contract (Req 5
AC 7.1) -- if normal and simulation modes diverge, the core/driver
separation is broken.
Honestly scoped to PEND-only decisions: sim_loop.c's picker thread
(task 11.2) has no code path that can emit a live DISPATCH today, a
pre-existing gap that belongs to the not-yet-designed scheduler-allocation
spec, not something this task can close.
Add sim_record.c (scheduler_t-free .replay writer: ReplayHeader + loaded
SnapshotEntry once, then per-event pass-through and per-session
ReplaySession finalization) and wire --sim-alt-events event-source
selection into sim_loop.c's drain loop, coexisting with task 11.2's
stdout default and task 11.4's --sim-verify. Extract scheduler_t-free
halves out of recording_session.c's begin/end so sim-side code can reuse
the decision-encoding path without gaining an xce_scheduler_t* dependency,
preserving Req 5 AC 17 isolation. Per Req 5 AC 16/19.
Add sim_verify.c (sim_decision_eq/sim_log_mismatch: real structural
comparison of dispatch/pend decision payloads, not a jobid shortcut) and
wire it into sim_loop.c's ReplaySession drain loop via decode_ReplaySession_ptr()
(first real consumer of the generated capnp decode path). --sim-verify now
detects and reports genuine decision divergence with logical-time + detail,
per Req 5 AC 15/18.
Three-layer regression guard (test_sim_isolation.c) proving sim.h/sim.c/
sim_loop.c hold no controller-facing client/cluster-config/capnp-socket
state: source-text scan, struct-body field scan, and nm(1) link-time
undefined-symbol audit of a new isolated sched_sim_isolation_lib target.
