Replaces sim_picker_thread_fn() (the always-PEND placeholder) with the
real sched_job_picker()/sched_allocator() threads (task 3.1), spawned
against &(sim->core) in sched_sim_driver_run(). Simulation mode now
genuinely uses the jbuf capacity-1 rendezvous for the first time
(confirmed still exactly one producer/one consumer). Adds
sched_election.c to sched_sim_isolation_lib.
Fixes bug-1829 (blocking, only reachable once sim_allocator() actually
called sched_make_allocation() for the first time): core->seqjob_
allocator/parjob_allocator were never bootstrapped for simulation mode
at all. Fixed via new sim_alloc.c (sim_bootstrap_seqjob_allocator()/
sim_bootstrap_parjob_allocator()), mirroring the sim_picker.c/
sim_limit.c precedent.
That fix's own workaround -- a throwaway xce_scheduler_t wrapper
satisfying seqjob/parjob's init_fn -- has a documented, narrow side
effect: prepare_allocation_hook fan-out during a live seqjob/parjob
dispatch attempt reaches the wrapper's own separate plugin registry,
not sim->core.plugins, so a plugin registered only against the real
sim core (the limit plugin) isn't reached for host-scoped matching
during a live dispatch yet. Documented in design.md's new "Known Seam
Gap" section; task 4.3 added to tasks.md to close it before task 5.2's
acceptance test can pass for the host-scoped case.
TDD: new end-to-end test drives a real .replay with an empty decisions
array (ruling out reconciliation) through the real thread pair,
proving a genuine DISPATCH from live resource availability. 25
pre-existing white-box sim/repl test files given link-satisfying
stubs reproducing the OLD always-PEND contract unchanged -- their own
assertions are untouched (task 5.3's job to reconcile deeper).

info limit was correctly implemented and tested but inert against a real
replay: register_limit()'s only call site was normal-mode sched_register_
plugins(); sim mode's own plugin bootstrap (sim_bootstrap_picker()) never
registered the limit plugin. The snapshot format already carries the
original session's limit config (sim->core.config, a borrowed reference set
by xce_sched_core_load_snapshot()) -- nothing needed to change in the
recording/replay format.
New sim_bootstrap_limit_plugin() (sim_limit.c, mirroring sim_picker.c's
structure) registers the plugin via plugin_register_core() and seeds it via
a new limit_seed_config(plugin, xce_sched_core_t* core, config) entry point,
wired into sim_loop.c alongside the existing sim_bootstrap_picker() call.
limit_new_plugin() extracted from register_limit() as a factory, mirroring
builtin_fcfs_new_plugin()'s established pattern; register_limit() itself is
behavior-preserving.
First attempt set plugin->sched to a disguised xce_sched_sim_driver_t*,
relying on it sharing xce_scheduler_t's first-member layout to reuse the
existing config_hook path -- rejected on review: this repeats the exact
cross-cast pattern that already corrupted memory once in this codebase (see
core.h's xce_core_cache_clear_cb_t history). Fixed by making
limit_seed_config() take xce_sched_core_t* as an honest parameter instead,
with limit_update_config() (normal mode) and the new sim path both
delegating to a shared limit_seed_config_impl() -- no cast, no aliasing risk,
independently verified by two review rounds reading the actual struct
layouts and call chains.
Also added sim_limit.c to sched_sim_isolation_lib so Req 5 AC 17's
controller-I/O-isolation check covers it (an initial gap, closed in the same
remediation round). Two ripple waves of the same established link-stub
pattern applied to the ~24 white-box test files that #include sim_loop.c.
info limit now shows real configured-limit data against a genuine replay.
Live usage will still correctly show "no active usage instance yet" until a
separate, larger fix (logged as bug-1826) wires limit *matching* into the
sim decision path -- deliberately out of this task's scope.

repl_info_limit() now displays accounted-usage/capacity for GLOBAL/SHARED
limit instances: iterates limit_get_usage_instances(), filters by
vres->limit == matched_limit, reads capacity from core.sharedInst[idx] and
accounted usage from core.sharedInUse[idx]. Existence-of-instance and
zero-usage are kept distinct per design.md: no matching instance (or one
with no populated capacity) prints "no active usage instance yet"; a
matched-but-never-charged instance correctly shows accounted=0 instead.
Self-caught during implementation and independently confirmed by review: a
negative or stale vres->idx (possible per add_vres()'s allocate-then-assign
pattern) is not safely rejected by zarray_get_ex()'s idx>=caps check alone
-- the new code adds an explicit idx<0 guard rather than copying
repl_info_resource_one()'s existing .count-based pre-check (which is itself
imprecise for a sparsely-populated zarray, a pre-existing issue left
out of scope here).
Calling limit_get_usage_instances() for the first time from repl_info.c
reproduced the same ~24-file link-stub ripple task 2.1 established for
limit_get_configured_limits() -- fixed with the identical pattern.

repl_info_limit() (repl_info.c, not yet wired into repl_cmd_info() -- that's
task 4) resolves "all" vs a specific name against limit_get_configured_limits():
a NULL/empty handle on the all path reports "no limits configured" (Req 1.7);
a NULL handle or key_find() miss on the named path reports "no such limit
'<name>'" (Req 1.3) and never collapses into the all-only message. New
white-box test_repl_limit_table.c exercises both paths directly, including a
dedicated regression guard for the NULL-scoping rule.
Making repl_info.c genuinely call limit_get_configured_limits() broke the link
for ~24 other white-box test files that #include repl_info.c without also
linking plugins/limit.c -- fixed with the same link-satisfying-stub idiom this
file family already uses elsewhere (all return NULL, verified behavior-
preserving since none of these fixtures register the limit plugin).

bug-1790's fix worked but put limit-plugin-specific logic in the wrong
place: seqjob_prepare_allocation()/parjob_prepare_allocation() (the
allocator plugins) unconditionally pre-computed a job-wide total for
every per-host resource in the job's rusages, "just in case" some
global limit needed one. That's the allocator plugins' concern leaking
into limit evaluation -- duplicated across both allocators (a third
would need it too), and wasteful (computed for resources no limit
actually references).
Moved ownership to sched_fill_limit_requests() (resource.c), called
once centrally from plugin_prepare_allocation() regardless of which
allocator ran:
- Removed calc_wanted_host_resval_job_totals() and its calls from both
allocator plugins entirely.
- Added calc_wanted_job_total_resval() (resreq.c): an on-demand,
single-resource lookup by name (no resmgr/key_find needed -- the
caller already has the resolved xce_resource_t), computing the same
job-wide-total formula only for the one (scope, underlying-resource)
combination that needs it -- a GLOBAL limit on a per-host resource.
The other three combinations are unchanged, still reading straight
out of alloc_req.
- sched_fill_limit_requests() gains rusages/nhosts/nslots parameters
back (a genuine need this time, not a re-added unused one).
plugin.c's two call sites pass obj->u.primary->resreq->rusages
(NULL for COMPOUND/ALTER, matching this codebase's existing scope
convention for those tags) and ctx->nhosts/ctx->nslots.
All 23 testsuite link-satisfying stubs mechanically updated. Removed
the two allocator-level regression tests from the first pass (the
behavior they proved no longer exists by design); rewrote
test_fill_limit_requests_global_limit_on_host_resource_reads_host to
exercise the new on-demand path directly, nslots=3 to prove the job's
WHOLE total is used.
Full xce-build.sh all asan --incremental: 94/94 Ok, zero regressions.
Live re-verified against the same ug1_global_mem deploy/scenario:
byte-identical scheduler trace to the pre-refactor result, confirming
behavior-preserving.

sched_fill_limit_requests() used to read a limit's underlying resource's
want from the same vector its own virtual-resource entry gets written to.
That's wrong whenever the two differ in scope -- e.g. a GLOBAL limit built
on top of a per-host resource like "slots" (limits.yaml's
ug1_normal_slots): the limit's own vres entry belongs in alloc_req->shared,
but "slots"'s want is only ever staged into alloc_req->host by
seqjob/parjob_prepare_allocation(), so the old code always read a zero and
silently never enforced the cap.
Now both the read source and write destination are derived independently
from each resource's own XCE_RESF_GLOBAL flag (vres->res for the source,
vres->vres for the destination) -- the same flag
calc_wanted_global_resvals()/calc_wanted_host_resvals() (resreq.c) already
dispatch on, so this is the existing rule applied consistently rather than
a new one. Also drops sched_fill_limit_requests()'s unused xce_scheduler_t*
parameter.
Full scheduler suite: 76/77 (the one failure, test_job_rusage_reconciles_
mem_reservation_against_usage, is bug-1762, pre-existing and unrelated).
Live-verified against a fresh single-node deploy.
Filed bug-1790 to track a known, deliberately out-of-scope residual gap:
a future global limit on a per-host resource other than "slots" would need
calc_wanted_host_resvals() to also run during the global phase for that
resource, which nothing currently does.

Implements repl_is_bytes_valued_resource()/repl_format_bytes_human()
(mirroring xce_test's confirmed is_bytes_valued_resource()/
format_bytes_human() precedent exactly) and the units_mode setting
(explicitly defaulted to both, not left to zero-init) wired into
set units raw|human|both alongside the existing set speed/output/verify
branches (Requirements 6.1-6.3). All 8 of task 7.1's tests pass.
Split repl_format_ts_human(), the Jobid Range Compressor (task 1.2),
and these two new helpers out of repl.c into a new repl_fmt.c: adding
them in place pushed repl.c to 929 lines (16.1% over the 800-line
cap), and unlike task 6.2's single-function split attempt (which
didn't even achieve compliance), bundling these three pure-formatter
groups together does - repl.c settles at 587 lines, repl_fmt.c at 402,
both comfortably under cap. Required a matching #include line in the
20 test files that white-box #include repl.c, plus extending
test_sim_isolation.c's forbidden-include/symbol scan to cover the new
file, following the repl_rollup.c split precedent from task 2.2.

Gates sim_print_decision() so the bare per-decision line no longer
prints under continue mode, making the Round Rollup's summary the
sole source of decision output (Requirement 2.3, closing bug-1610).
step mode and non-interactive/headless runs are completely
unaffected (Requirements 5.1, 5.4). Implemented as a file-local
inline wrapper in sim_loop.c rather than repl.h, since the gated
function is static to that file and repl.h can't see repl_state's
internals without leaking them to every other repl.h consumer.
Fixes 3 pre-existing tests (predating this spec, from scheduler-core)
that pinned the now-intentionally-changed bare-line behavior under
continue mode - each fixed differently based on its actual purpose
rather than uniformly: two kept continue mode with their anchor
switched to the Round Rollup's summary (since they specifically test
continue-mode breakpoint interruption, which step mode would
trivialize), one switched to step mode (since its actual invariant -
print-before-breakpoint-check call order - is mode-independent and
continue mode no longer has any observable anchor for it).
Review caught a second, unguarded sim_print_decision() call site in
sim_reconcile_unaccounted_jobs() (added by an earlier, separately-
merged spec) that design.md's boundary never accounted for - per the
review, this is actually the dominant real-world path for DISPATCH
decisions in replay mode, so leaving it unguarded would have defeated
Requirement 2.3's "sole source of decision output" claim for the
common case. Gated it through the same wrapper; added 2 new tests.

Implements the round-boundary decision summary, collapsing of repetitive
rounds, and the shared repl_round_collapse_flush() entry point
(Requirements 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 3.1-3.4, 3.6). Fingerprint composition
matches design.md exactly: dispatch/preempt counts from the existing
per-round tally, pend-jobid set state-derived from core->jobs (not
decision events), so Requirement 2.4 holds independent of bug-1611.
All 7 of task 2.1's RED-phase tests now pass.
Went through three review rounds:
- Round 1 approved the logic but rejected repl.c's size (1160 lines,
45% over the 800-line cap). Remediated by splitting the Round Rollup
functions into a new repl_rollup.c, following this codebase's own
established repl.c/repl_break.c/repl_info.c/repl_params.c domain-split
precedent.
- Round 2 approved the split but found the new file wasn't added to the
"simulation isolation" regression guard (sched_sim_isolation_lib +
test_sim_isolation.c's forbidden-include/symbol scans), plus two stale
repl.c-location doc comments left over from the move. Both fixed.
- Round 3 found repl.c still 17 lines over cap post-split (808 after
trimming, from 817) and rejected on that basis. Verified empirically
that closing the remaining gap isn't achievable via comment trimming
alone (even deleting both comments entirely only reaches 801) without
another disproportionate file split for single-digit lines. Accepted
808 lines (1% over) as the final state, consistent with round 1's own
explicit judgment that a small residual is not a blocker once the
original 45%-over violation is resolved - documented in design.md.

sched_reconcile_job_resource_usage() was only reachable from
sched_apply_job_rusage() (scheduler.c's sched_update(), which has no live
caller), so real-usage reconciliation never actually ran outside tests.
Wire it into core_events.c's XCE_CORE_EVENT_JOB_RUSAGE handler instead,
the actual live path shared by both normal-mode (driver.c) and sim/replay
mode (sim_loop.c). Adds link-satisfying stubs to the testsuite files that
#include core_events.c directly.

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.
45/46 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560
(unrelated).

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).
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.

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
residue) recorded in tasks.md.

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).
