docs: formalize save/restore field-completeness as a standing invariant
Prompted by rediscovering the same bug class in two places this
session: the controller's WAL already has this documented for one
mechanism (persistence.md's APPLY_CLEAN/bug-1678 section, xce-audit-
invariants controller dimension 7) but the scheduler's separate
snapshot save/load mechanism had the identical gap (job->allocs, this
session's scheduler-snapshot-job-allocation brief) with no equivalent
tracking. Closes that gap and makes the invariant self-reinforcing
going forward rather than something that has to be independently
rediscovered per persistence mechanism:

- xce-audit-invariants: new scheduler dimension 4 ("Field-complete
  snapshot save/load parity"), sibling of controller dimension 7,
  scoped to snapshot.c/snapshot_wire.c/snapshot_load.c.
- persistence.md: new "Snapshot Save/Load Field-Completeness
  (Scheduler)" section cross-referencing the WAL-side bug-1678 writeup
  and the new scheduler dimension.
- CLAUDE.md: new top-level Key Rules bullet stating the invariant
  plainly, plus adding persistence.md to the steering-file pointer
  table (it was missing).
- kiro-spec-design's design-review-gate.md (the mandatory pre-write
  gate) and kiro-validate-design's design-review.md (the optional deep
  review): new conditional review sections -- applies only when a
  design touches a save/restore mechanism, requires enumerating every
  persisted field's capture status rather than trusting an aggregate
  "state looks right" check. Catches this class of gap at design time,
  before implementation, rather than only via a later audit.

docs(steering): add field-complete apply-parity invariant; extend xce-audit-invariants
persistence.md's APPLY_CLEAN verdict only checks entity count and apply-
cursor position, not per-field completeness -- bug-1678 (job allocation
silently dropped on restart replay despite APPLY_CLEAN reporting healthy)
fell through exactly this gap. Documents the sharper invariant online-
apply and replay-apply must produce field-complete equivalent state, not
just matching counts/cursor, and adds it as a standing audit dimension
(#7) to xce-audit-invariants' controller dispatch list.

docs: sync skills and steering docs with bug-1562..1566 findings
- .claude/skills/xce-build/SKILL.md: --incremental flag,
  xceadmin wheel building, corrected the standalone-install
  guidance (the earlier --system-site-packages venv approach was
  wrong -- nix devShell packages are $PYTHONPATH entries, not
  merged into site-packages).
- .claude/skills/xce-deploy-ha/SKILL.md: $BASH_BIN resolution,
  worker/scheduler startup, xceadmin usage against a deployment,
  troubleshooting rows for the newly-fixed bugs.
- .kiro/steering/ha-async-io.md: bug-1562's standby liveness
  watchdog re-arm invariant.
- .kiro/steering/persistence.md: bug-1563 (fsync backoff) and
  bug-1564 (persist_flush durable-advance callback).
- .kiro/steering/build-deployment.md: xceadmin wheel docs,
  bug-1565's --incremental flag, deploy dir tree updates.

40f510fb14 fix(controller): bug-1433 async-thread fdatasync block + bug-1434 committed_lsn CAS race
bug-1433: raft_cb_become_leader runs synchronously off peer_ctrl_dispatch_to_pool,
which hardcodes VTASK_LIVENESS for every inbound peer-control packet including
vote replies. The bug-1431 round-2 fix (flusher_flush_once force-flush in
persist_promotion_advance_committed) was reachable from that never-blocks task
class -- same bug family as bug-1198. Removed the force-flush; round-3
(durable-capped only) plus the already-shipped bug-1432 immediate-first-heartbeat
fix close the visibility-latency gap non-blockingly. TRACKED RESIDUAL:
persist_apply_pump_run_sync is still reachable on the same VTASK_LIVENESS path
and does bounded pread() -- lower risk (page-cache-hot) but strictly still
blocking I/O; not safe to remove outright (reopens bug-1043-family job loss),
needs its own follow-up (reclassify peer_ctrl_classify's winning-vote-reply case
or dispatch promotion tail onto a fresh VTASK_LIVE_BLOCK vtask).

bug-1434: persist_promotion_advance_committed and ha_standby_advance_committed_and_apply
raced on persist_t.committed_lsn via an unlocked load-then-conditional-store during
the promotion window (before ha->role flips to CTRL_PRIMARY) -- a losing racer could
regress committed_lsn. Added persist_committed_lsn_advance_atomic (CAS retry loop,
lock-free) and routed both call sites through it.

Validated: 19/19 unit test suites, 6-round chaotic soak (0 loss/divergence) + 6-round
sequential+leadership-coverage soak, both PASS. Also folds in raft-apply-decoupling
and raft-ha-core-safety validate-impl phase bumps to "implemented" and clears
config-upgrade-snapshot's now-satisfied entity-bearing-snapshots block.

4338a97d0e docs(steering): sync HA protocol with ha-term-safety — per-entry term, (term,lsn) reconcile, commit-source ownership, bug-828 truncate rule 2026-06-23 04:48:06 +00:00
20e59d0b42 checkpoint: bug-851 root cause + raft TLA+ conformance spec family
Investigation & fixes (failover committed-job loss):
- root-cause bug-851 on an owned 3-node cluster: chaotic failover causes
  silent committed-prefix divergence (WAL hdr.term always 0; two leaders
  per term; no (term,lsn) reconcile). Evidence in repro-851/ + INVESTIGATION.
- live-validated fixes 848/849/850 (recovery-on-promotion, advertise real
  applied_lsn, persist-layer contiguity guard); add waldump WAL inspector.

Specs (strict raft.tla conformance — library owns the log):
- TLA-gap-analysis.md: impl vs raft/raft.tla, gaps G1-G6.
- raft-log-replication, raft-commit-safety, raft-sim-conformance: extend
  src/lib/raft to own log/commit/verification via callbacks (specs generated,
  cross-spec review passed).
- ha-term-safety: controller-side adapter + config marker (R1-R7); design done.
- config-upgrade-snapshot: R8 descoped here (deps entity-bearing-snapshots, bug-857).
- roadmap + buglog (851/854/857) + .wolf knowledge updated.
