Appended "Gap Analysis — Validation Pass (2026-06-09)" to each spec's
research.md with requirement-to-asset maps, status tags, and effort/risk.
Key outcomes:
- ha-repl-hardening: REOPENED with task series 7.1-7.7 — replication
payload data plane is missing (snapshot chunks and WAL catch-up ship
header-only; standbys converge on LSN without holding entity state)
- worker-join-refactor, resval-id-decoupling: marked implemented
(all criteria re-verified, full test suite green)
- buglog: 335/336 (scheduler dequeue, open), 337/338/339 (fixed in
previous commit); cerebrum Decision Log corrected (term-only vote
deny was recorded as intentional but was a regression)
- ha_state_t.n_peers now matches raft_config_t.n_peers convention:
total cluster size (including self), consistently across both layers
- ha_start_election_async: ha->n_peers = n_peers (candidates_count)
- Convergence/counting loops: i < n_peers - 1 (skip self for standby arrays)
- Single-node: n_peers=1, threshold=0 (same behavior, clear semantics)
- ha_elect_ctx_t.n_peers unchanged (separate field for vote array sizing)
- Tests: 3-node n_peers=2->3, single-node 0->1, loop bounds updated
E2E test 6.7: 3-node cluster lifecycle verified
- Initial: ctrl-1 PRIMARY via majority convergence, no degraded mode
- Kill primary: RDHUP detected on both standbys, ctrl-2 elected at term=4
- No data loss: config tag preserved across failover
- Full ASAN build green
- Fix ha_start_election_async: ha->n_peers = n_other (other peers),
not candidates_count (total including self). The standby_converged[]
array is indexed by peer index, so the bound must be n_other.
- Fix ha_compute_safe_committed_lsn: return self_lsn for n_peers==0
(prevents WAL truncation on single-node re-election).
- Integration test: 3-node cluster reaches CTRL_PRIMARY via majority
convergence within ~20s; no degraded-mode WARN in logs.
6.3: Fix single-node bug — ha_compute_safe_committed_lsn now returns
self_lsn instead of 0 for n_peers=0 (prevents WAL truncation on
single-node re-election). Add self_lsn/self_tag to ha_elect_ctx_t,
populated unconditionally in ha_start_election_async. All 3 test
scenarios pass under ASAN.
6.4: Add test_snapshot_recv_128kb_two_chunks (128KB snapshot in
2x64KB chunks, verifies size and applied_lsn); 4 other test cases
already existed from tasks 3.5c/3.5d. All ASAN-clean.
- config_repl.c: INFO at WAL catch-up start with start/target LSN (Req 7.1)
- config_repl.c: INFO at snapshot transfer start and complete with
checkpoint_lsn and size (Req 7.3)
- ha.c committing_timeout_fn_for_test: add WARN log counting
n_converged/n_pending before promotion, matching production path (Req 7.5)
- Reqs 7.2 (standby converged INFO) and 7.4 (majority INFO) were
already present from tasks 3.1 and 5.2 respectively
- Change HA_DEFAULT_COMMITTING_TIMEOUT_MS from 10000 to 60000
- committing_timeout_fn: count converged/pending standbys from
standby_converged[], log WARN with counts, then promote (degraded mode)
- Replace hardcoded 10000 in test_ha_evaluate_committing.c with macro
- Three new tests: default=60000, degrade-promote with 1/2 and 0/2 converged
- Strip handle_ctrlhello: remove repl_add_standby, WAL streaming,
snapshot check, push_config_to_standbys, and CtrlHelloReply
- Keep only: set primary_ctrl_fd, call ha_on_heartbeat_received,
arm ha_arm_heartbeat_timeout_vtask, log INFO
- All replication decisions now handled by heartbeat decision loop
- Test: call with NULL repl + config_tag mismatch → no crash, no repl
messages enqueued, primary_ctrl_fd set correctly
- In raft_cb_become_leader, after persist_truncate_wal_above(safe_lsn),
store safe_lsn to ha->last_known_committed_lsn via atomic release
- Test: 3-node voters [100,150,200] → safe_lsn=150; asserts
ha->last_known_committed_lsn == 150 after raft_cb_become_leader_for_test
- Add ha_repl_send_snapshot_hook seam in ha.c/ha.h for XCE_TESTING
- test_dispatch_repl_action_send_snapshot: verifies SEND_SNAPSHOT
decision triggers hook when standby_lsn < oldest_wal_lsn
- test_snapshot_recv_two_chunks_assembles_and_renames: verifies standby
assembles snap.part across chunks and renames on isLast=true
- test_snapshot_recv_reconnect_discards_snappart: verifies O_TRUNC
semantics on chunk_index==0 restart after reconnect
- All tests pass under ASAN
- SEND_SNAPSHOT uses checkpoint_lsn (not committed_lsn) for file lookup
- ha_send_snapshot_to_standby stats file for actual total_size
- ha_compute_oldest_wal_lsn scans WAL dir for min segment LSN
- Removed hardcoded 131072 and oldest_wal_lsn=0 placeholders
ha_stream_wal_to_standby() reads WAL from committed_lsn range, accumulates
entries to 256/64KB per batch, enqueues all via xce_request() (non-blocking).
Partial final batch sent immediately. Wired into STREAM_WAL case.
3 tests: 500-entries/2-batches, partial batch, empty range.
Fixed stale task-number comments per review.
ha_dispatch_repl_action_for_standby() calls push_config_to_standbys()
when PUSH_CONFIG decision. Hook seam for unit tests. Wired into
repl_ack_decode_and_dispatch after ha_process_standby_state.
oldest_wal_lsn=0 placeholder documented for task 3.4.
ha_evaluate_repl_action() pure function: stale tag→PUSH_CONFIG,
lsn<oldest_wal→SEND_SNAPSHOT, lsn<committed→STREAM_WAL, else CONVERGED.
5 tests. Fixed misleading stream_wal_from_zero test name per review.
OPCode_nop handler now sends stateReport {applied_lsn, config_tag}
instead of nodata. Function in ha.c for unit-test linkability.
Two tests: warm state and zero-state fresh standby (Req 1.4).
Extend ha_apply_wal_catchup_entry with batch branch:
- Check n_entries > 0, iterate entries[] list in order
- Apply each via apply_wal_entry(); skip NULL/errors without crash
- Advance applied_lsn once after full batch (not per-entry)
- n_entries == 0 falls through to task 2.1 single-entry path
4 new unit tests covering full batch, partial batch, error skip, fallback
Replace stub with ha_apply_wal_catchup_entry() calling apply_wal_entry().
CAS-advance applied_lsn on success; log ERROR and skip on failure.
Standby stays in CTRL_STANDBY throughout. 3 new unit tests.
Add standby_reported_tag/lsn/converged arrays to ha_state_t, sized
MAX_HA_CANDIDATES. Zero-init via existing memset in ha_init().
Unit test verifies zero-init and writability.
Add self-referential entries @3 :List(WalCatchupEntry) field with
$C.maplistcount("n_entries"). Single-entry path unaffected — n_entries
defaults to 0, entries to NULL when not using batch mode.
Add StateReport struct {appliedLsn, configTag} as stateReportMsg @15
variant in RequestReply.data union. Standby populates this in heartbeat
replies so the primary can track per-standby convergence.
capnpc-c 1.0.1 has a bug with inline :group inside codecgen unions;
workaround uses named outer struct (wire-equivalent). typemap.h
extended with state_report_t and union member for C codec access.
