sched_init_queues() built a new xce_sched_queue_t for every configured
queue on each config apply; for an existing name the add failed, and the
unregistered queue was handed to the picker (which then tracked it
instead of the registered one) and leaked, while the registered queue
kept its old settings. It now updates the registered queue in place, as
QUEUE_UPDATE's core_upsert_queue() does.
sched_init_config() and the core's CONFIG_PUSH replaced core->config
without freeing the previous one. The core owns its config, and nothing
points into a replaced one (queues, resources, groups and limits built
from it are copies), so it is freed once the new one is applied.
Test: test_config_reapply_updates_queue_in_place_and_frees_old RED before
(priority stayed 1), GREEN after.

Follow-ups from the bug-1846 investigation.
bug-1847: config pushes never reached a .replay recording -- handler.c
applied them synchronously, bypassing the pending-update queue the
recorder writes from. With bug-1846's deferral they're now applied at a
round boundary on the driver thread, so sched_apply_pending_config()
writes a CONFIG_PUSH event via the existing sched_record_write_events()
(no-op when not recording), ahead of the round's other recorded events.
Test: test_config_push_deferred.c's test_applied_config_push_is_recorded
(RED: 0 events; GREEN: 1). Fidelity limit, pre-existing: replay applies
configPush through core_events.c's CONFIG_PUSH path, which doesn't re-run
groupmgr_load_configs()/plugin_config_update(), so a limits/groups change
still won't take effect in sim.
bug-1848: xce_sched_obj_t.hlimits was created with a NULL zarray killer
at all three constructors, so reset_sched_obj() and schedobj teardown
leaked the per-worker xlist_t match_job_host_limit_() callocs. New
kill_hlimits_list() (schedobj.c) frees the list, never its vres entries
(owned by the limit plugin); core_events.c and snapshot_load.c use
identical static local copies, since both avoid sharing helpers with
schedobj.c and several test binaries link them without it. Test:
test_limit_host_dedup.c's test_hlimits_zarray_releases_its_lists (RED:
killer NULL; GREEN).
bug-1849: every --sim run warned "failed to resolve job picker plugin ...
picker rebuild will be skipped". Benign: the snapshot is loaded before
the sim registers its picker, and sim_bootstrap_picker() replays the same
queue/job walk afterward. Downgraded to TRACE with an explanation.
Buglog also records bug-1850 (open): the ~100s reconnect churn behind
bug-1846 part 2 -- xcecli_retry_next() rotates/reconnects on every retry
(ETIMEDOUT after the 10s reply deadline, E_XCE_NOT_READY, redirects), so
a slow reply from a healthy primary forces a rejoin + full re-push.
Needs the live scheduler.log and a libxce spec.
Full scheduler suite 87/87 (asan). Replay of the captured file: same 184
mismatches, all attributable to the recording's pre-fix binary.

sched_publish_retry_loop() calls sched_check_pending_rejoin() after every
successful publish -- inside the driver's decision-drain loop -- so after a
client-library reconnect the scheduler re-joins mid-round. The controller
answers every join (on_scheduler_join(), controller/sched.c) by re-pushing
config, workers and jobs. handler.c applied the config push synchronously
on the handler thread: sched_init_config() -> sched_init_queues() ->
builtin_fcfs on_queue_update(), which nulls the picker cursor when it
reinserts the queue the cursor rests on. next_job() then returned NULL and
the round ended with the rest of the queue never considered.
Evidence (scheduler-replay-20260923-085356.replay, temporary event-stream
diagnostics, reverted): 9 recorded rounds end after 11-12 decisions; every
one is followed by a workersPush + full 50-job jobsPush (the join's resync,
reporting just-dispatched jobs back as PEND), every full-length dispatching
round has none, and the config push never appears because it bypassed the
pending-update queue the recorder writes from -- which is also why replay
could not reproduce the truncation.
Fix (defer to the round edge, same direction as bug-1813): handler.c now
calls new sched_stash_config(), parking the Conf4Sched in new
xce_scheduler_t.pending_config under pending_config_lock (an older
unapplied push is freed). main.c's loop calls new
sched_apply_pending_config() before each round, running the unchanged
sched_init_config() strictly between sessions. sched_fini() frees a
never-applied push.
Tests:
- test_handlers.c: test_config_push_is_stashed_not_applied_on_handler_thread
-- RED (sched_init_config called on the handler thread), GREEN after.
- new test_config_push_deferred.c (sched_config_push_deferred_test): real
scheduler_req_handler() + real builtin_fcfs mid-session -- RED (next_job()
returned NULL right after the push), GREEN (session walks the remaining
jobs; configver unchanged until applied once between rounds).
- test_admin_request.c / test_job_array_expand.c / test_job_array_wire_e2e.c
#include handler.c directly and get a link stub for sched_stash_config().
Full scheduler suite 87/87 (asan).
Not addressed: config pushes are still not written to a recording (a
replay spanning a config change won't see it); the ~100s reconnect churn
itself (see bug-1812/1813).
