fix(lib,scheduler): allocation constructors and allocators report OOM instead of building NULL-name records (bug-1882)
make_alloc() and make_host_alloc() assigned strdup() results unchecked,
so under memory exhaustion they returned a record whose resname/reserve/
host was NULL; merge_job_alloc()'s same_alloc_slot() (bug-1863) then
strcmp()'d it (ASAN SEGV at xcealloc.c:337). make_alloc() also passed a
NULL resname straight to strdup().
- xcealloc.c: make_alloc()/make_host_alloc() reject a NULL name (EINVAL)
  and check every strdup(), freeing what they built and returning NULL
  (ENOMEM); on failure make_host_alloc()'s caller keeps `allocs`.
  dup_host_alloc() frees its partial copy on failure instead of leaking.
- scheduler.c sched_make_allocs(): a record that cannot be built fails
  the whole array (NULL, ENOMEM) instead of leaving a NULL entry.
- seqjob/parjob my_alloc(): check every constructor; on failure free
  what was built (parjob also rolls back the remaining claims) and
  return -ENOMEM with ctx->alloc NULL -- the caller moves ctx.alloc onto
  the job whatever the rc.

Tests: new xcealloc_oom_test (8, --wrap=strdup) and
sched_make_allocs_oom_test (real scheduler_srcs + --wrap=strdup); a new
-ENOMEM test in the seqjob and parjob allocator suites. All RED before
(SEGV / "Expected NULL" / "Expected -12 Was 1"), GREEN after.
xce-build.sh all asan: 115/115 suites OK, Go tests OK.

fix(controller): cold start elects in ~1.7 s, not ~10 s; ctrlstatus appliedLsn on the primary (bug-1879, bug-1878)
bug-1879: on a fresh HA cluster the config-holding ctrl-1 started its
term-1 election before its peers ran; connect failures count as "no"
votes (bug-1423), so it lost at once and became a follower with no
leader. ctrl-2/ctrl-3 hold no config and are voters only (by design),
so nothing retried until ctrl-1's 10 s standby liveness timeout: every
cold start had no primary for ~10 s.
- ha_note_leaderless() marks a config-holding node that becomes a
  follower with no leader known; the liveness poll then retries the
  election (PreVote) after HA_LEADERLESS_RETRY_MS = 1 s, doubling up to
  heartbeat_timeout_ms. Primary contact or becoming leader clears it.
- ha_heartbeat_is_fresh() answers "no" while leaderless: last_activity
  then only holds the watchdog's arm time, and the failover gates took
  it for a live primary.
Live cold start: primary 1.7 s after the first node started (was ~10 s).

bug-1878: ctrlstatus_fill() reported ha->applied_lsn for every role, a
standby-only counter a primary never advances, so every primary showed
"appliedLsn: 0". A primary now reports persist->last_applied_lsn. The
controller-status design doc's "already correct in every role" note is
corrected.

Tests: 5 new in test_ha_failover_prevote.c, 1 new in test_ctrlstatus.c
(RED: expected 4900, was 0); controller suite 1256/0. HA soaks:
sequential 6 rounds PASS, chaotic 6 rounds PASS (zero divergence, zero
job loss).

fix: spurious errors/warnings from a pc13v HA deploy (bug-1872..1877)
- bug-1872 (worker): "Failed to find any disk statistics in
  /proc/diskstats" ERROR every 15 s on an NVMe-only host. The whole-disk
  filter guessed from the name and skipped anything ending in a digit or
  containing 'p' -- every nvmeXnY, mmcblkN, even sdp -- so io was never
  reported. diskstats.h now counts a device only when
  /sys/block/<name>/device exists (real disks; not partitions, loop, dm,
  md, zram), and a host with no disk warns once.
- bug-1873 (worker): "Failed to get worker pid" WARN on job start. MainPID
  reads 0 until systemd has forked the new transient unit; xcecd.c already
  retries, so the miss is DEBUG and the final failure names the unit.
- bug-1874 (scheduler): deprecation WARN for the legacy xce_sched_fcfs on
  every start, though builtin_fcfs is the picker. Registration still wraps
  a job_elect_fn plugin but no longer warns; selecting one warns once.
- bug-1875 (apiserver): "Not running as root -- PAM authentication will not
  work" with the default provider config_file; now only for provider pam.
- bug-1876 (controller): standbys logged "cluster_init_phase2 ... failed
  (rc=-22)" WARN every 3 s while waiting for the primary's config push,
  a state the function itself calls normal. It returns -EAGAIN for that
  wait; callers log it at INFO, other failures still WARN.
- bug-1877 (controller): "WAL/snapshot stored unencrypted" warned without
  looking. persist_path_encrypted() checks fscrypt (statx) and dm-crypt
  (sysfs dm/uuid CRYPT-, through LVM slaves); the warning stays when the
  storage is not shown to be encrypted (e.g. a plain /tmp).

Tests: worker diskstats_test (2 of 4 RED on the old filter with pc13v's
/proc/diskstats), controller test_phase2_cold_boot and
test_persist_encryption, scheduler picker tests, apiserver
TestRootWarning. Full ASAN build: all 113 suites pass (controller 319/0,
harness 141/0).

fix(harness): xce_test argument validation, RPC error text and leaks (13 bugs)
Stack overflows on user input:
- bug-1702 jobrun -m: host segment strncpy'd into a 256-byte buffer
  unbounded (ASAN stack-buffer-overflow); now cmdutil_split_host_tasks()
  refuses an over-long host.
- bug-1703 jobsub -n: min strncpy'd into a 64-byte buffer; now
  cmdutil_parse_ntasks() parses in place, 1 <= min <= max.
- resupdate's 16-entry vals[] had no bound either; a 17th -n overflowed.

Wrong or silent results:
- bug-1574 resupdate type/model: set_resval() had no string case, left the
  entry's name uninitialized, and crashed the encoder. Moved to
  resval_typeresolve.c as resval_fill(), which fills every type.
- bug-1705 jobsub -x was overwritten (and leaked) by the default exdata;
  cmdutil_default_exdata() only fills an unset one. jobsub's
  execuser/exechome/execcwd copies leaked on every call.
- bug-1707 a trailing -n without -v was dropped silently; resupdate also
  returned 0 after its RPC failed and "succeeded" with nothing to send.
- bug-1708 jobkill -s SIGKILL became signal 0 and was sent.
- bug-1709 jobinfo exited 0 with no -j, a malformed -j, or no hits.
- bug-1710 hello -c 0 sent nothing and reported success.
- bug-1712 a duplicate -v was reported as "no res name found".
- bug-1777 workerlist showed join-time maxmem/maxswap/maxtmp, not the
  effective values (hosts.yaml overrides) the reply already carries in
  resvals_to_sched and the scheduler uses.
- bug-1793 join's maxswap/maxtmp defaults were 1 KB / 2 KB in bytes; now
  1 GiB / 2 GiB, and -m/-s/-t no longer overflow atoi() above 2 GB.

Error reporting and leaks:
- bug-1796 RPC failures printed perror() of a stale errno ("Connection
  refused" / "Invalid argument" / "Inappropriate ioctl for device" for
  the same failure). cmdutil_rpc_error() prints the RPC's own code
  (E_XCE_* included) at all 19 sites.
- bug-1797 qctrl leaked the queue name on the RPC-error path; repeated
  -q/-h leaked the earlier copy.

New src/harness/cmdutil.c (+ cmdutil_unit_test, 14 cases); 9 new
test_test_cli.c cases, 8 RED on the old xce_test; new resval_fill,
worker_effective_attr and join-default tests (join ones RED on the old
join_worker_args.c). Harness suite 6/6 (asan), harness_unit_test 141/0.

fix(worker): remove_worker frees every string add_worker copied (bug-1866)
add_worker strndup's launch_type and the four queue/job pre/post-exec
commands out of the startinfo, but remove_worker only freed exechome,
execcwd, execuser, job_cmd, pids and exdata, so every finished job leaked
up to five strings (LeakSanitizer at xcecd_virtual exit reported the
launch_type one).

New test in test_finished_job_retention.c compares ASAN's live-heap byte
count across an add/remove round trip (the worker suite runs with
detect_leaks=0): RED leaked exactly the 58 bytes of those five strings,
GREEN after. Worker suite 12/12.

that were really acknowledged job reports.

feat: acknowledged job start/finish/fail reports (bug-1741)
A worker reported job start, finish and failure with a fire-and-forget
OPCode_notify the controller never answers, so a report lost while the
worker stayed connected (the live incident: 6 of 7 finish reports in a
burst) left the job RUN forever; the rejoin resync (165fc158) only
recovers reports lost around a reconnect.

- controller.capnp: OPCode_notifyAcked -- the same NotifyData body,
  answered. A separate opcode because replies are matched through the
  client's single wbuf, not by sequence number: answering plain notifies
  would feed stale statuses to the next synchronous request.
- controller (cluster.c): do_notify_acked() applies the fact like
  do_notify, then waits on the commit barrier and replies 0 only once it
  is majority-committed. A barrier failure (the fact is still appended and
  retained) replies -E_XCE_NOT_READY, so the worker retries in place
  instead of rotating away from a healthy primary (cf. bug-1850). Admitted
  by the no-quorum fact-bearing gate like OPCode_notify.
- libxce: xce_notify_acked_req/xce_notify_acked (send, wait for the
  status) and xcecli_notify_acked (XCECLI_FAILOVER_CALL retry/failover).
  xcecli_notify_jobstart/jobfinish/jobfail use it; on -E_XCE_BAD_OPCODE
  (a controller predating the opcode) they fall back to the plain
  fire-and-forget notify, so workers and controllers can be upgraded in
  either order.
- Resends are safe: START/FINISH are duplicate-guarded and a repeated FAIL
  yields the same state.
- worker: logs a WARN when a report is still unacknowledged after the
  retry budget (the rejoin resync remains the backstop). These calls run
  on the worker daemon's IPC callback, so while the controller lacks
  quorum other jobs' IPC messages wait (buffered, not lost) up to the
  retry budget.

Tests: test_notify_acked_reply_only_after_commit and
test_notify_acked_withheld_replies_not_ready (no reply before the covering
ACK; -E_XCE_NOT_READY with the fact retained when ACKs are withheld).
Written with the opcode, so no separate RED run. Full /xce-build all:
111 suites pass; controller suite 1245/0.

fix(controller): resume at checkpoint+1 after loading a snapshot (bug-1870 follow-up)
Regression from 63fd3d2a (bug-1870), found by the --config-upgrade HA soak
(force-elect: "submit on {ctrl-2,ctrl-1} failed", ~640 standby NACKs;
bisected: 725301dd passes, 88c4310e fails).

load_snapshot() seeded current_lsn = checkpoint_lsn, but current_lsn is
the NEXT lsn to write and the snapshot covers 1..checkpoint_lsn. The
off-by-one was always there, hidden because every checkpoint also wrote a
WAL_CHECKPOINT marker ABOVE the checkpoint, so the WAL scan moved
current_lsn past it. With the marker gone, a standby whose WAL held
nothing above its config-marker checkpoint (LSN 11) recovered with
current_lsn=11: its raft layer counted entry 11 as held (ae_already_have,
not written), and persist_wal_write_replicated() then refused entry 12 as
a gap (ae_append_persist_fail) on every resend -- stuck at 11 forever.

Both of load_snapshot's commit points now set current_lsn =
checkpoint_lsn + 1, matching the apply-side catch-up path (lsn + 1).

New test_recover_from_snapshot_without_wal_resumes_after_it (RED before:
current_lsn 3, not 4). Two snapshot-entity tests asserted the old
current_lsn == checkpoint_lsn and now expect +1. Controller suite 1245/0.

fix(controller): a queue added by a live config upgrade exists without a restart (bug-1469)
build_queues() only ran at boot, so a queue a live config upgrade added
had no runtime object in c->qmgr (and the scheduler/apiserver never heard
of it) until the controller restarted. The checkpoint-ordering half of
bug-1469 was fixed in 959b0cda; this is the remaining half.

- reconcile_config_queues(c, notify): creates every queue in the active
  config that has no runtime object, leaves existing ones untouched,
  returns the number created.
- config_activate_committed() calls it (with notify) after every
  successful activation -- verified-marker and no-marker paths alike.
- persist_notify_queue_updated_no_wal(): fires HOOK_DETAIL_QUEUE_UPDATE
  under the t_apply_seam_notifying guard, so the scheduler/apiserver are
  told while no WAL_QUEUE_CTRL is appended -- config queues are
  config-owned, built on every member from the committed config.
- build_queues() now delegates to it without notify, so boot and
  activation are idempotent in either order.

New test_config_queue_reconcile.c (RED before: the added queue was never
created): creates the added queue, leaves the existing object untouched,
notifies once, and a second reconcile/build_queues adds nothing.
Controller suite passes.

fix(controller): scan standby_endpoints by capacity, not count (bug-1474)
Root cause of the "spurious duplicate reconnect" (angle a): zarray_del()
NULLs the slot and decrements count without compacting, so a live entry
can sit at any index < caps. Every standby_endpoints loop bounded by
`count` missed it. Live evidence (--config-upgrade-wal-trim soak,
2026-09-26): ctrl-2 won, promoted vote eps [ctrl-1 (dead), ctrl-3]; the
dead one's removal left [NULL, ctrl-3] with count 1, so the primary

- stopped heartbeating ctrl-3 (primary_heartbeat_fn's send loop),
- re-dialed it ("peer[2] not connected -- initiating outbound connect"
  9s later, for a peer that never dropped) and registered a second,
  "late-joiner" channel that burned a MAX_STANDBYS repl slot,
- could not evict the stale channel (on_standby_connected's dedup scan),
- and skipped it in config pushes and the ctrlhello broadcast, where a
  hole below count also handed endpoint_ref() a NULL.

The re-dial landed in the freed slot 0, which is what made ctrl-3 visible
again -- the "spurious" reconnect was masking the lost heartbeats.

All index scans of standby_endpoints (ha.c heartbeat, sweep, dedup, two
removals; cluster.c removal and ctrlhello; config_repl.c push collection)
now run to `caps` and skip NULL slots; the push collects exactly the
non-NULL entries. `count` stays where it means "how many connected".

New test_reconnect_dedups_channel_behind_deleted_slot (RED before: the
stale channel behind the hole was never evicted). Controller suite 1241/0.

fix(controller): run the become-leader tail on a task class that may block (bug-1433)
A winning RequestVoteReply is dispatched through peer_ctrl_classify, which
returned VTASK_LIVENESS for all peer-control traffic -- the never-blocks,
never-admission-gated class. The reply runs raft_cb_become_leader, whose
tail persist_apply_pump_run_sync() does bounded blocking WAL pread()s (it
cannot be made async without reopening the bug-1043-family job loss on a
freshly promoted primary). The fdatasync half of bug-1433 was removed in
40f510fb; this pread was the tracked residual.

peer_ctrl_classify now returns VTASK_LIVE_BLOCK while the node is
CTRL_ELECTING -- its peer-control traffic is then vote/PreVote replies,
election work like inbound RequestVote, which already uses LIVE_BLOCK.
As PRIMARY/STANDBY the traffic is WAL/config ACKs and stays VTASK_LIVENESS,
so a quorum of acks is never admission-gated (R4.5); a candidate has no
commit to advance.

New test_peer_ctrl_classify_vote_replies_while_electing (RED before).
Controller suite 1240/0.

fix(controller): a worker join that fails its commit barrier leaves nothing bound (bug-1728)
"ERROR incorrect worker idx -1" on every node after a worker-join commit
timeout (during a PreVote/election) was the visible end of a real
dangling pointer. init_worker/rejoin_worker bind the endpoint to the
worker (apply_join_state: w->ep = ep, UNAVAIL cleared) before the commit
barrier; on barrier failure handle_worker_join returned without setting
priv->u.idx, so when that connection closed handle_endpoint_error saw
idx -1, logged the ERROR and never ran handle_worker_leave -- the worker
kept w->ep pointing at the freed endpoint, available for dispatch, until
it rejoined.

- handle_worker_join: on barrier failure, clear w->ep (if still this
  endpoint) and mark the worker unavailable, as if the join never
  happened; the worker retries its join.
- handle_endpoint_error: an idx -1 worker endpoint is now the legitimate
  "closed before its join completed" case -- WARN, nothing to clean up.

test_worker_join_withheld_acks_replies_error also asserts the worker is
unbound and unavailable after the -ETIMEDOUT reply (RED before).

fix(controller): offload demotion convergence and catch-up streaming by default (bug-1450, bug-1451)
f88e4ef4 moved ha_demotion_convergence_fn's WAL truncate + self-restart
and ha_catchup_continuation_fn's WAL streaming off the delaymgr thread
(which drives heartbeats and election timeouts cluster-wide) onto the
slow lane, but left both flags OFF: flipping them ON hung pre-existing
unit fixtures that demote a primary or trigger catch-up without ever
starting c->slowlane -- the work was queued in a lane with no workers and
never ran.

- slowlane_is_started(): true while the lane has live workers.
- Both dispatchers run inline when the flag is OFF *or* the lane was never
  started. Production always starts the lane, so it always offloads; the
  lightweight fixtures keep their old inline behaviour, and neither
  one-shot action can be silently dropped.
- g_drive_async_demotion_offload / g_drive_async_catchup_offload now
  default to 1. The offload tests save and restore the previous value
  instead of forcing 0.

New test_catchup_offload_without_started_lane_runs_inline (RED before: the
catch-up body never ran, the stream gate was never reached). Controller
suite 1239/0 with both offloads ON by default.

fix: the controller is the ground truth for job state on scheduler rejoin (bug-1860)
A job the controller requeued to PEND while the scheduler was disconnected
stayed RUN (with its old allocation) in the scheduler forever: the
bug-1812 guard in core_events.c's JOBS_PUSH merge refused any non-RUN,
non-terminal resync claim over a job holding a real allocation, because
it could not tell a genuine requeue from a push built before the
scheduler's own fresh dispatch.

Design (per review): the scheduler persists nothing, so on rejoin the
controller's state wins, and the race the guard protected against is
closed where the truth lives:

- scheduler JOBS_PUSH: the bug-1812 refusal is removed; the controller's
  state replaces the scheduler's and its allocation is released. The
  terminal-is-permanent and phantom-RUN (RUN without allocation data)
  guards stay.
- controller dispatch_a_job_(): refuses a job that is not PEND (RUN or
  finished) before any worker is touched -- previously nothing checked,
  so a stale second dispatch would start a running job again (or, through
  a retryable failure, requeue it). The job is left as is, no WAL fact,
  and its true state is re-sent (HOOK_DETAIL_JOB_UPDATE). A PEND job with
  a leftover allocation stays dispatchable.
- scheduler JOB_UPDATE: a RUN report carrying the controller's committed
  allocation is adopted, so a corrected job is never RUN with nothing
  charged.

Tests (all RED before): test_jobs_push_duplicate_jobid_controller_pend_
wins_over_local_run (replaces the bug-1812 test that pinned the
refusal), test_job_update_run_adopts_controller_allocation,
test_dispatch_of_non_pending_job_is_refused. Two tests that seeded a RUN
job to reach retry branches (a precondition their own headers called
unreachable) now use the real paths: the counter-reset test requeues via
record_job_reconcile_pending_fact() first; the disconnected-worker RUN
test asserts the refusal contract.

Controller suite 1238/0, scheduler 87/87. HA soaks: chaotic 6 rounds PASS
(0 divergence/loss, 6 worker-resync jobs), sequential 6 rounds PASS
(SIMVERIFY 7 files, 0 mismatches). The race did not occur in either run
(0 refusals logged), so the new paths are proven by the unit tests.

fix(apiserver): reject a malformed rusage[] at job submit (bug-1744)
Gitea #47: `xcecli jobs submit -R "rusage[mem=100000000a0]"` was accepted
with a normal "Job <...> is submitted" reply. The apiserver only
length-checked resreq; the real PEG grammar ran later, asynchronously, in
the scheduler's core_build_job(), which logged a server-side WARN and
dropped the job -- it then sat PEND forever with no sign of why.

- libxce: xce_check_rusage_syntax(resreq, &errmsg) runs parse_rusage() on
  every rusage[...] clause (extracted the way section.peg does: up to the
  first ']'), so primary, compound and alternative requests are all
  covered. No resource manager needed, so select[]/order[] resource names
  are still only checked by the scheduler (the documented scope).
- apiserver/backend: ValidateResreqSyntax() cgo wrapper (resreq_check.go);
  the !cgo stub returns nil (no job can be submitted without CGO anyway).
- controllers/jobs.go preCheckJobRequest(): calls it after the length
  check via a package var, so a malformed request is refused up front.

Tests: lib test_check_rusage_syntax (RED before: the reported input was
accepted) and backend TestValidateResreqSyntax (RED before) through the
real grammar; controllers TestPreCheckJobRequest_RejectsMalformedResreq
checks the call site with an injected validator (written with the call
site, so no separate RED). libxce, apiserver backend (cgo) and controllers
tests pass. apiserver/middleware TestLoadJobs fails here and on the
baseline alike: it needs a live apiserver on :8080.

fix(controller): resource hooks only carry values the controller accepted (bug-1583)
do_update_resvals() fired the AFTER_EVENT HOOK_DETAIL_RESOURCE_UPDATE with
the raw client xce_resval_list_t. update_resval_list() rejects unknown
resource names (-ENOENT) but only logged it, so both listeners -- the
scheduler push and the apiserver store (apiserver_resource_hook_fun ->
handler.go) -- received names the controller had rejected, and the
apiserver stored them.

- update_resval_list() takes an optional `applied` view (caller-sized,
  borrowed pointers) and fills it with just the accepted items.
- do_update_resvals() hands that view to the AFTER_EVENT hook, and skips
  it when nothing was applied. The request still owns every item.

New test_update_resval_list_reports_only_applied_items (RED before: both
items reported). Controller suite 1237/0. Live /xce-test-resources with
mem=5 totally-fake-resource-xyz=1: mem MATCH at controller, scheduler and
apiserver; the fake name is rejected at injection and appears 0 times in
scheduler.log / apiserver.log (verdict FAIL by design, for the rejected
name).

refactor(scheduler): one schedobj builder for ingest and snapshot restore (bug-1767)
snapshot_load.c carried its own field-for-field copy of core_events.c's
schedobj builders (primary/compound/alter + hlimits killer), kept separate
by a "never share builders" convention. The copy drifted from the original
three times, each a field-completeness bug in restored jobs (bug-1772's
all-zero resreq_fp among them). The convention's reasons apply to the
job/queue/worker builders, not to schedobj, which is never wire-captured.

- core_build_schedobj() becomes the exported xce_core_build_schedobj(obj,
  user, queue, project, resreq) (core.h), taking identity strings instead
  of a wire job; core_build_job() and snapshot_load.c both call it.
- snapshot_load.c's five copied functions are removed.
- test_sim_startup.c #includes snapshot_load.c without core_events.c; it
  now also #includes core_events.c, plus the same
  sched_reconcile_job_resource_usage link stub test_driver_translate.c
  uses.
- test_fresh_ingest_and_snapshot_restore_derive_identical_... now compares
  the whole schedobj (tag, user/queue/project, configver, glimits, owner,
  resreq binding, resreq_fp), guarding against future drift. No RED phase:
  there is no live gap left to catch; this removes the duplication that
  kept producing them.

Scheduler suite 87/87; full build links.

fix(scheduler): a job's resource-request update takes effect for scheduling (bug-1773)
JOB_UPDATE (core_events.c) and the legacy sched_update_existing_job()
(schedobj.c) replaced job->resreq, but the allocator reads job->schedobj,
whose primary->resreq still pointed into the old parsed request -- so an
update never changed scheduling, for any field. The old primary was also
leaked (FREEUP only freed the container).

- core_bind_primary_resreq(): the resreq pointer + fingerprint computation
  factored out of core_build_primary_schedobj(), reused on update.
- core_rebind_schedobj_resreq(): primary->primary re-points in place and
  recomputes the fingerprint, keeping the schedobj's runtime state; a kind
  change rebuilds the kind-specific part (the old part is left alone, as
  nothing frees these today -- never a dangling pointer).
- JOB_UPDATE now applies the job's ingest-time task count to the new
  resreq, as core_build_job() does, so resreq-maxtasks-wiring Req 1.4 (an
  update never changes the dispatched task count) still holds -- it used to
  hold only because the update never reached the schedobj at all.
- schedobj.c's legacy path gets the same re-binding.

test_resource_request_update_never_changes_dispatched_task_count asserted
the old behaviour (schedobj keeps the ingest-time object); it now asserts
the schedobj uses the updated resreq and fingerprint while the task count
stays 4/7 (RED before). Scheduler suite 87/87.

fix(controller): job_ctrl lock/reference and dispatch retry requeue (bug-448, bug-1626, bug-1631)
bug-448: job_ctrl() took a reference on the job but only one error path
released it; every successful call leaked one (refcount 1 -> 3 after two
calls). It is now released on every exit path, including the key_find
rc<0 one.

bug-1626: job_ctrl()'s not-started branch changes the job (mark_job_update
/ mark_job_fail -> apply_job_*_transition, which require RTTI_LOCK_WRITE)
while holding only RTTI_LOCK_READ, so it could run concurrently with
readers. It now takes the write lock. (dispatch_a_job_ already did.)

bug-1631: dispatch_a_job_()'s four retryable-failure branches never reset
state/allocs, correct for a first dispatch (still PEND) but not for a job
that had already been dispatched once: it stayed RUN holding its old
allocation. Each branch now calls record_job_reconcile_pending_fact() --
a no-op without a WAL fact for a PEND job; for a RUN job it returns it to
PEND, releases allocs and appends a durable WAL_JOB_UPDATE -- and notifies
after unlocking when it applied, the same pattern as the resync reconcile
path (cfe66dde). Not reachable until something re-dispatches RUN jobs
(e.g. preemption), fixed now so it is correct when that lands.

- job_get_refcount() (jobj.c) read accessor for the leak test.
- test_apply_pump.c: test_job_ctrl_releases_its_job_reference and
  test_job_ctrl_mutates_not_started_job_under_write_lock (both RED before).
- test_dispatch_fail_retry.c now asserts PEND + allocs released after a
  post-success retryable failure (RED before).

Controller suite 1236/0; all 111 meson suites pass.

fix(controller): checkpoints no longer punch a hole in the replicated log (bug-1870)
persist_checkpoint() and persist_checkpoint_marker_triggered() wrote a
local-only WAL_CHECKPOINT marker that consumed an LSN of the replicated log
(current_lsn++) but was never replicated. A checkpoint taken by one member
only -- the primary's periodic max-wal-records checkpoint, or the one before
a snapshot send -- left a hole no standby had: the leader's next entry
carried prev_log_index = the marker's LSN, logOk failed on every standby
forever, commits timed out and writes stalled ("could not submit 110 jobs"
in the --force-snapshot soak; reproduced on the pre-bug-1867 baseline). Even
the config-marker checkpoint, taken on every member, stamped the marker with
each member's own current_lsn at apply time, which need not agree.

Nothing reads the marker except to skip it, so checkpoints simply stop
writing it. The recovery, streamer and bug-1475 log_len skip paths stay, for
WALs written by older binaries; persist_test_write_legacy_checkpoint_marker()
(XCE_TESTING only) reproduces such a WAL for the tests that cover them.

- new test_bug1870_leader_only_checkpoint_leaves_no_log_hole (RED before):
  a leader-only checkpoint takes no LSN and a standby that never
  checkpointed catches up past it via the real streamer/receive path.
- test_checkpoint_writes_marker_to_wal inverted to ..._writes_no_marker_...
- bug-1475 x2 and the apply-correctness trailing-marker test now build
  their legacy marker explicitly.

Controller suite 1234/0. HA soaks: --force-snapshot PASS (113 jobs, real
snapshot install -- also live-verifies bug-1867), --config-upgrade-wal-trim
PASS, --sequential 6 rounds PASS (SIMVERIFY 7 files, 0 mismatches).

fix(controller): checkpoints keep a job's exit code (bug-1867)
The capnp Job struct -- the checkpoint/entity-snapshot form of xce_job_t --
had no exit-info field, so capnp_encode_job() never wrote job.exit_info
and a job restored from a snapshot (instead of WAL replay) came back with
exit_info NULL, for DONE/EXIT and failed jobs alike. bug-1689/bug-1754
made the WAL facts carry the code; anything older than the last
checkpoint's WAL trim still lost it.

- controller.capnp: struct JobExitInfo $C.mapname("job_exitinfo_t")
  { exitcode }, and Job.exitInfo @12 $C.mapname("exit_info"). The
  generator now emits encode/decode/free for it inside encode_Job /
  decode_Job / free_Job; restore_job()'s create_job() already takes
  exit_info via MOVE_PTR. Null stays null (no fabricated exit 0). A new
  ordinal, so older snapshots/recordings decode with exit_info NULL.

New test_snapent_checkpoint_exit_info_roundtrip (RED before): exit codes
0 and 137 and a NULL survive both the raw checkpoint frames and a real
persist_load_snapshot restore. Full /xce-build all (asan): 111 meson
suites, 0 failures; all Go packages pass.

Not live-verified: the --force-snapshot HA soak cannot reach its snapshot
step because of a pre-existing checkpoint-marker replication stall,
reproduced on the baseline without this change (bug-1870).

fix(controller): persist a failed job's finish_time through WAL_JOB_FAIL (bug-1747)
The FAIL half of bug-1747: apply_job_fail_transition() stamps
finish_time = time(NULL) at APPLY time, and WAL_JOB_FAIL carried no time,
so a failed job's finish_time changed on every restart replay / standby
catch-up, and a worker-reported failure found on rejoin could never keep
the worker's own time.

- WAL_JOB_FAIL's trailer grows to int32_t code + uint64_t finish_time
  (seconds). Decoded by length: 16 B (pre-bug-1754), 20 B (code only,
  bug-1754) and 28 B (code + time) all apply as before for what they carry.
- record_job_fail_fact_at(c, job, failinfo, finish_time_ms), the fail-side
  sibling of record_job_finish_fact_at(): 0 = receipt time. on_job_fail()
  uses receipt time; resync's finishedFail branch passes the worker-
  reported finish_time_ms (Req 4.2 now holds for failures too).
- Both apply seams adopt the wire time after the transition.

4 new tests in test_wal_job_fail_fact.c (3 RED before the fix) and the
resync round-trip now asserts the worker-reported failure time (RED
before). Controller suite 1232/0. Factstream HA soak (2 rounds, 60 jobs)
PASS.

fix(worker): xcecd's fixed /tmp files never follow planted links (bug-1869)
xcecd runs as root and kept files at fixed names in world-writable /tmp,
opened by path:

- main.c created <logdir or /tmp>/xcecd_worker.log and then chmod(path,
  0666)'d it: a symlink planted there made root chmod 0666 any file
  (e.g. /etc/shadow).
- process_worker_manager.c appended xcecd_worker's stdout/stderr to
  /tmp/xcecd_worker.log through any planted symlink/hardlink.
- xcecd_prepare_restart() created /tmp/.xcecd.restarting through a
  dangling symlink (an empty root-owned file anywhere), and
  xcecd_check_restart_type() trusted access() on it, so any user could make
  an unplanned restart look planned.

xcecd_tmpfile.h:
- xcecd_open_owned_file(): reuses an existing file only if it is our own
  regular single-link file (so a legitimate log keeps being appended to);
  otherwise unlinks whatever is there and creates a fresh file with
  O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW. O_NONBLOCK so a planted FIFO cannot hang startup.
- xcecd_owned_file_exists(): lstat-based; only our own regular file counts
  as the restart flag. Anything else at the name is removed and ignored.
- The worker log's 0666 mode is now set with fchmod() on the fd.

New test_xcecd_tmpfile.c (7 tests; with the old behaviour the symlink,
dangling-symlink and hardlink cases FAIL and the FIFO case hangs);
worker suite 12/12. Sequential HA soak (5 rounds, xcecd_virtual) PASS.

fix(worker): don't follow links planted at a job's output file name (bug-1868)
uv_proc_exec() created /tmp/job_<jobid>_task<N>.out as root with
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC. The name is predictable and /tmp is world-
writable, so a local user could plant a symlink (or hardlink) there before
the job started and make the root worker truncate and write job output
into the target. Only the host's fs.protected_* sysctls stood in the way.

xcecd_create_job_output() (job_output_path.h) now unlinks whatever is at
the name and creates a fresh file with O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW|O_CLOEXEC, mode
0600 as before; O_EXCL never follows a symlink and fails if anything
reappears, so a race can only fail the create, never redirect it (retried
3 times). A re-run job still starts with an empty file, as O_TRUNC gave.

11/11.

fix(worker): fetchfile only reads the job's own output file (bug-1508)
handle_fetchfile() runs as root in xcecd and open()ed whatever filepath
the request carried. Any libxce client could read any file on a worker
(/etc/shadow, keys) with a fetchfile RPC, and so could any REST user: the
apiserver resolves the path from the job's user-supplied out_file/err_file,
so submitting a job with out_file=/etc/shadow and then reading its output
passed the apiserver's ownership check and read the file as root.

- job_output_path.h: the per-task output name uv_proc.c writes,
  <dir>/job_<jobid>_task<N>.out, now shared by the writer (xcecd_worker)
  and the reader (xcecd), plus xcecd_is_job_output_path(), an exact
  string match for that job's names only.
- fetchfile_open_checked(): rejects any other path with -EACCES, opens
  with O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC and requires a regular file with a
  single link, so a symlink, hardlink, FIFO or directory planted at the
  output name is refused.

Three new tests in test_controller_connector.c (2 RED before the fix);
worker suite 10/10. Sequential HA soak (5 rounds, xcecd_virtual) PASS.

fix(controller): persist a failed job's exit code through WAL_JOB_FAIL (bug-1754)
A worker reports every nonzero job exit as a FAIL (xcecd_job_finished ->
xcecd_notify_job_fail(jobid, stage, exit_code)), not a FINISH. The deferred
WAL_JOB_FAIL fact carried only {jobid, STAGE_FLAG|stage} and no apply seam
touched job.exit_info, so exit_info stayed NULL for every failed job, live
and after replay, and HOOK_DETAIL_JOB_FAIL subscribers saw code 0.

- persist_submit_job_fail_fact(): header + int32_t code trailer, used by
  record_job_fail_fact(). Old entries (no trailer) decode as before.
- apply_job_fail_exit_code(): records the code in exit_info for pre-exit
  stages only; a POST_EXEC code is the script's and leaves exit_info alone.
  Kept out of apply_job_fail_transition() so mark_job_fail()'s internal
  -errno failures (not replayed with a code) stay live/replay consistent.
- Both apply seams adopt the code. apply_wal_entry()'s WAL_JOB_FAIL case
  also stops assigning the wire state 0 for STAGE_FLAG entries and runs the
  real transition, as apply_committed_entry() already does.

New test_wal_job_fail_fact.c (5 tests, 3 RED before the fix); the two
test_worker_resync.c assertions that pinned exit_info == NULL now assert the
worker-reported code. Controller suite: 1228 tests, 0 failures.

fix(scheduler): re-pushed resource definitions are not errors (bug-1854)
Every scheduler (re)join re-pushes the whole config, and both apply paths
-- sched_init_resources() (scheduler.c) and core_apply_config_resources()
(core_events.c) -- re-added each resource with makeResource(), which
refuses an existing name: one ERROR per resource per rejoin (33 in
data/xce_scheduler.log), and a genuinely changed definition was dropped
just as silently.

New libxce resourceApplyDef(): under one write lock, register a new
resource (ADDED), or compare an already-registered one on its
scheduling-relevant fields -- valtype, ordtype, flags, interval -- and
return SAME or CHANGED. Both call sites log SAME at debug, CHANGED as a
WARN that the definition is not applied to the running scheduler
(updating a registered resource in place would disturb its index and
accounting), and only real failures as ERROR.

fix(lib): retry a NOT_READY controller in place instead of failing over (bug-1850)
xce_failover_classify() mapped E_XCE_NOT_READY with NOMASTER to
RETRY_BACKOFF, so xcecli_retry_next() rotated to the next master,
reconnected and fired the rejoin hook. But a NOT_READY reply comes from a
controller that answered on a working connection -- here a healthy primary
that had briefly lost its write quorum (both standbys NACKing, bug-1864).
The scheduler abandoned it for the standbys, rejoined, and got a full
re-push built from lagging committed state (21:39:24-27 in data/logs).

New action XCE_FO_RETRY_SAME (appended; existing values unchanged):
NOT_READY backs off (same jittered schedule, same -E_XCE_NOT_READY on
budget exhaustion) and re-sends on the current connection -- no rotate,
reconnect or rejoin. NOMASTER keeps rotating after backoff. If the
controller is really a standby it answers REDIRECT/STANDBY/NOMASTER next
time, and if it dies the transport error rotates, as before.

Tests (test_libxce_retry.c): taxonomy row NOT_READY -> RETRY_SAME;
decide backs off and exhausts to -E_XCE_NOT_READY; the real
xcecli_retry_next keeps cur_master on NOT_READY (rotated before) while
STANDBY still rotates; backoff-growth test moved to NOMASTER. Failover
tests 56/56; lib, controller 5/5, worker 10/10, scheduler 87/87,

fix(controller): never close() the primary channel's raw fd (bug-1865)
handle_ctrlhello stored the netio endpoint's fd (primary_ctrl_fd = ep->fd)
and ha_on_primary_ctrl_fd_rdhup close()d it in three branches. netio owns
that socket and closes it on endpoint teardown, so by the time the
liveness poll fired the RDHUP the number could be reused -- in a chaotic
soak by the standby's WAL segment: HA's close() shut the WAL, fdatasync
failed 2305 times (EBADF, then EINVAL once a socket took the number),
durable_lsn stuck, and one round's jobsub failed EIO.

handle_ctrlhello now also holds a reference on the endpoint
(primary_ctrl_ep), which keeps its socket open and its fd number ours.
ha_drop_primary_ctrl_conn() replaces the raw closes: shutdown() the
still-owned socket so netio sees the hang-up and tears it down itself,
then release the reference. A bare fd with no endpoint is only forgotten.

Test test_rdhup_never_closes_an_fd_netio_already_released: real
ctrlhello -> netio teardown -> file opened on the freed number -> RDHUP;
the file was closed before, survives now. test_rdhup_closes_and_nulls_fd

fix(lib): keep per-endpoint message order in the vtask dispatcher (bug-1864)
The dispatcher checked each queued task's endpoint busy flag one item at a
time, while the vcpu that finished the endpoint's previous message cleared
the flag without the taskq lock (a lock there deadlocked, bug-1282). Within
one scan, task N was skipped (endpoint still busy), the endpoint freed up,
and task N+1 of the SAME endpoint was dequeued first. Standby controllers
then handled WAL catch-up entry 258 before 257 and NACKed (log mismatch):
26 reorders -> ~576 NACKs in a 45-min production-like run, both standbys
at once at 21:39:24, primary lost its write quorum and answered
jobdispatch/join with E_XCE_NOT_READY, the scheduler client failed over and
rejoined, and the rejoin JOBS_PUSH carried lagging committed state
("refusing resync state ... existing job is RUN" WARNs).

dataq gains dataq_deq_ctx() (a per-scan matcher context). The scan is now
vtask_deq_eligible(taskq, is_blocked): it remembers every endpoint found
busy and keeps all later tasks of that endpoint ineligible for the rest of
the scan (past 64 distinct busy endpoints, every later IO task waits for
the next scan) -- per-endpoint FIFO without any new lock.

Test lib/testsuite/test_vtask_order.c injects is_blocked to free the
endpoint mid-scan: task N+1 was dequeued before the fix, none after; other
endpoints and FIFO/generic tasks unaffected. Suites: lib 1/1, controller
5/5, worker 10/10, scheduler 87/87, harness 5/5. Chaotic HA soak 2/2 PASS

fix(scheduler): a failed COMPOUND leaves no partial allocation (bug-1766)
When a later primary of a COMPOUND failed, sched_make_compound_alloc_
still moved the earlier primaries' merged allocation onto the schedobj,
so a job decided PEND carried a partial allocation that the next
successful round overwrote and leaked. The merged allocation is now
published only when every primary succeeds and freed otherwise. No
resource-state rollback is needed: the primaries' uncommitted debits live
in ctx.uncomitted, per-attempt scratch freed by sched_ctx_fini(), and
schedobj->alloc's only reader is the dispatch path. The ALTER loop's
per-alternative cleanup (added with bug-1769) is now redundant and removed.

Test: "1*{..} + 5*{..}" on 2x2 slots PENDs with schedobj->alloc NULL
(held the first primary's allocation before). Scheduler suite 87/87.

fix(scheduler): allocate every primary of a COMPOUND, not only the last (bug-1863)
Each primary's allocator (seqjob/parjob my_alloc) sets ctx->alloc to a
fresh job allocation covering only its own hosts, so a multi-primary
COMPOUND ("1*{A} + 2*{B}") dispatched only the last primary's hosts --
leaking the earlier allocations while every primary's hosts had been
debited in ctx.uncomitted.

sched_make_compound_alloc_ now folds each primary's allocation into one
job allocation via the new libxce merge_job_alloc(): a host placed by
several primaries becomes one entry with per-resource values added
(matched on resname, instid and reserve, so distinct instances are never
summed); new hosts and shared allocations are appended/merged the same
way. Partial-failure rollback remains bug-1766.

Tests: "1*{..} + 2*{..}" on 2x2 slots now allocates 3 slots across two
distinct hosts; "1*{..} + 1*{..}" yields one host entry with 2 slots
(both kept only the last primary before). Scheduler suite 87/87, lib 1/1.

fix(scheduler): check slots/rusage for primaries nested in COMPOUND/ALTER (bug-1768)
seqjob_prepare_allocation() and parjob_prepare_allocation() returned 0
whenever ctx->schedobj was not PRIMARY, so a primary nested in a COMPOUND
(or ALTER) job never had its slot count or rusage checked: a 5-task
compound dispatched onto 4 slots, and an ALTER job was "placed" by its
first alternative with an empty (0-slot) allocation. Both hooks now
compute the want from ctx->primary -- the primary being allocated, set by
sched_ctx_set_primary() for nested primaries and identical to
obj->u.primary->resreq for PRIMARY jobs.

sched_ctx_set_primary() also clears ctx->worker, so the next primary of a
compound computes its job-level want rather than a per-host want left
over from the previous primary's host (PRIMARY jobs set it once, with
worker already NULL).

Tests (real ingest + live allocator): a 5-task COMPOUND on 2x2 slots now
PENDs; "{5*{..}} || {1*{..}}" falls back to the second alternative (1
slot). Both failed before. Scheduler suite 87/87.

Follow-up logged: bug-1863 (multi-primary COMPOUND keeps only the last
primary's allocation).

fix(scheduler): ALTER allocation type confusion (bug-1769); NULL queue in legacy fcfs hooks (bug-1771)
bug-1769: every builder stores xce_compound_schedobj_t* (24 bytes) in
obj->u.alters, but sched_make_alter_allocation() read them as
xce_sched_obj_t* (176 bytes) and ran the compound allocation on them -- a
heap-buffer-overflow read of ->u.compound and write of ->alloc for any real
`{..} || {..}` resreq. The compound allocation now takes its resreq
explicitly (sched_make_compound_alloc_), and each ALTER alternative is
tried on behalf of the ALTER obj itself; a failed alternative's partial
allocation is dropped before the next (rollback itself is bug-1766).
sched_ctx_init() rejected ALTER objs ("bad sched obj type"), so ALTER jobs
could never allocate at all -- it now accepts them like COMPOUND (all
downstream checks only distinguish PRIMARY).

bug-1771: plugin_commit_decision() fans every DISPATCH out to the legacy
"xce_sched_fcfs" plugin even when it never tracked the job; fcfs_del_job()
(and fcfs's job-add hook) dereferenced job->queue->name with no NULL
check, SEGV'ing the allocator for a job whose queue was never registered.

Tests (test_parjob_e2e_multislot.c, real ingest + live allocator thread):
test_alter_resreq_job_dispatches_via_real_allocator (ASAN
heap-buffer-overflow before, DISPATCH after) and
test_dispatch_of_job_with_unregistered_queue_does_not_crash (SEGV at
fcfs.c:318 before). Scheduler suite 87/87.

fix(worker): lock the worker list against vtask-thread readers (bug-1862)
The main loop adds and reaps worker-list entries (add_worker,
cleanup_worker_list -> remove_worker) while controller request handlers on
vtask threads walk the same list with no lock. A rejoin resync overlapping
a job reap read a freed node (ASAN heap-use-after-free in
find_worker_by_jobid), killing the worker mid chaotic HA soak.

- xcecd_worker_list_lock/unlock: add_worker links a fully built entry under
  it; remove_worker unlinks under it and frees after.
- handle_jobstatequery holds it from reading the head through the query
  page (the report send is a non-blocking xce_request); job control and
  remote task start copy what they need under it instead of keeping the
  entry pointer.
- The finished-job retention store (appended by the main loop, read by
  resync) gets its own mutex around its public entry points.

Test: test_build_report_safe_against_concurrent_list_mutation -- UAF 3/3
with no-op lock stubs, clean 5/5 with the fix; worker suite 10/10; chaotic
HA soak 2/2 PASS, 6/6 resync jobs reconciled, no ASAN reports.

fix(worker): don't let a failover outage expire a finished job's retained outcome (bug-1859)
The finish notify is fire-and-forget, so the retained outcome is the only
way a controller learns a finish lost in a failover. Its 60s window ran
from the finish time, so an 84s outage expired it before the rejoin
resync could report it; the controller got "unrecognized" and requeued a
completed job (then stuck: scheduler kept RUN, see bug-1860).

Expiry is now measured from max(finish_time, last reconnect)
(xcecd_on_reconnect), and nothing expires while checking_connection's
hello probe reports the connection unhealthy. The reported finish_time_ms
is unchanged.

Verified: worker suite 10/10 (two new retention tests, red first); chaotic
HA soak 3/3 PASS (was 1 in 3 failing).

fix(controller): stop a failed test from hanging the unit suite (bug-1429); mkstemp for upgrade temp file (bug-1861)
A failing TEST_ASSERT longjmps out and skips the fixture teardown, leaving
the commit engine's sweep thread and persist's fsync_worker asleep on a
static struct. The next test re-inits it underneath them, corrupting the
condvar, and a later teardown blocks in pthread_cond_destroy/join until
the 300s meson timeout. The failure line itself was lost because stdout
was fully buffered.

- controller_test: line-buffer stdout; tearDown() reaps what a failed test
  leaked via new XCE_TESTING registries (persist_test_reap_unstopped, then
  commit_test_reap_unfinalized_engines -- persist_stop before engine fini).
  Clean run reaps 0; an injected failure now fails in 2s instead of hanging.
- persist: flusher_flush_once reports only its own durable advance, so
  fsync_worker no longer re-fires the durable callback for an advance a
  concurrent persist_flush made (flaky "must not re-fire" test). Regression
  test test_flusher_pass_does_not_claim_concurrent_flush_advance.
- tests: jap observer is atomic and waits (bounded) for a continuation that
  may resolve on the flusher thread; pump catch-up tests wait for trailing
  replies instead of a single scan.
- config_repl: upgrade decode temp file via mkstemp instead of a
  pthread_self()-derived /tmp name (same value across processes, opened
  without O_EXCL -- collisions and a symlink target).

Verified: controller_unit_test 1222/1222; 24 parallel runs (6x4), no
hangs or ASAN errors.

fix(scheduler): release interned queue resreq with dereference, not free (bug-1858)
q->resreq holds an interned makeString() value (pointer past the xstring
object header). core_upsert_queue() and sched_update_existing_queue()
released the old value with FREEUP()/free() when a queue update carried a
new resreq, an ASAN bad-free. Seen as HA soak replay-parity errors=1: the
sim replay of a snapshot-restored queue followed by a config push aborted
in core_upsert_queue.

Both sites now dereference() the old value (NULL-guarded). Regression
tests cover each site; the existing queue-update test had skipped the
resreq branch.

fix(xce-test-multihost): deploy with a fixture config set that clears limits (bug-1857)
Since bug-1790's fix (9caf1424) counts a job's full task total against
global limits, the repo's limit1 (all users except rshen share 3 slots)
pends xce_test's root-submitted 33-task job forever, so the multihost
e2e fixture failed even though the allocator is correct.

deploy-ha.sh gains an optional XCE_DEPLOY_CONFIG_DIR (default unchanged:
src/configs). run-multihost-verify.sh copies src/configs into its deploy
dir, replaces limits.yaml with an empty list, and deploys with that
override.

chore(libxce-failover): log the status that triggered each failover rotation (bug-1850)
xcecli_retry_next's "xcecli failover: attempt N -> host:port" line now
carries "(after status=<rc>)". Without it a log cannot tell a dead
connection from a healthy primary's commit-timeout or admission-backpressure
reply -- the distinction bug-1850 (the live scheduler re-joining every
~100s) needs to find its triggering rc. Diagnostic only; no behavior change.
