Diffs member WALs by (lsn -> term, pcrc) over the committed prefix, exits non-zero
on any committed-prefix divergence with the diverging LSN + per-member entry
identities. Reuses the canonical waldump decoder via a new per-entry visitor seam
(no second WAL parser). Detects same-LSN/diff-term and same-LSN/diff-content
divergences (the bug-851 class) that an LSN-range check would mask.
Wires config_committed_marker to a production consumer (config_activate_committed):
verifies pushed bytes' sha256 against the committed marker before activation, fences
(loud, non-serving, stay-alive) on mismatch, and activates the latest committed marker
on recovery. Enforced via ha_dispatch_gate + promotion gate.
Fixes bug-981: a 2nd+ config upgrade could permanently fence a standby on a
push-before-commit ordering. Adds an off-iomgr delaymgr retry scheduled from the
commit-advance hook (atomic read + non-blocking enqueue only on the ACK thread) that
re-activates and clears the stale fence once the new marker commits and bytes verify.
Wires do_upgrade_config_with_bytes to append WAL_CONFIG_MARKER through
raft_log_append (live term-stamped consensus record), demotes committed_config_tag
to a non-authoritative cache, and derives the committed config from the latest
committed marker. Preserves the derive across checkpoint compaction via an optional,
backward-compatible config-ref tail in the snapshot sentinel.
Includes fix for bug-960: endpoint-type-aware peer-index resolution
(promoted-vote relative vs heartbeat-standby absolute) with fail-loud
bounds check, preventing an out-of-bounds match_index[] write / wrong-peer
false-quorum on the replication ACK path.
Replaces the stub: builds a WalCatchupEntry AppendEntries to standbys[peer_idx].ep
carrying prev_log_index/prev_log_term; for n_entries==1 sources the entry at
prev_log_index+1 from the local WAL (term via persist_entry_term, type+payload via
ha_read_wal_entry_at); n_entries==0 emits a zero-entry heartbeat. Async send
(xce_wal_batch_req_raw), payload freed on all paths. 2 tests via a capture seam.
Review-applied: corrected the misleading repl.c comment — leader_commit is accepted
but NOT yet wire-encoded (deferred to task 3.2: WalCatchupEntry leaderCommit field +
standby intake). Reviewer APPROVED; per-group 0 failures.
on_get_entry_term → persist_entry_term (recorded term, 0=absent, legacy-0→1; caveat
documented per 1.3 review). on_truncate_from → persist_truncate_wal_above(p, index-1)
(delete LSN>=index), returns rc for library/leader retry; non-promotable fence intact;
replaces the committed-boundary heuristic on the library-driven path. New
truncate_term_index_locked keeps the in-memory per-LSN term index consistent on both
truncate paths (under lock, cutoff-aligned) → no stale-term read after truncation.
3 tests, reviewer APPROVED, per-group 0 failures.
Replaces the iter-1 stub: persist_set_term(p, term) stamps the leader/library term
into hdr.term, then role-routes the write — primary via persist_wal_async, standby
via persist_wal_write_replicated(p, index, ...). Persist failure returns non-zero
(no false ACK; durable_lsn unchanged); bug-850 contiguity guard + persist-before-ACK
preserved beneath. In-flight raft_entry_blob_t {type,payload_len} envelope added to
wal_types.h (never enters the 40-byte header). 3 tests, reviewer APPROVED.
Deferred (recorded in tasks.md): task 3.1 must retire the hand-rolled primary append
so current_lsn tracks the library index; task 3.2 must not call on_persist_entry on
heartbeats. Per-group 0 failures (pre-existing test_commit_barrier_reply leak aside).
persist_set_term sets the live election term so appends stamp hdr.term (fixes the
G1 term-0 stamping); replay_wal builds an in-memory per-LSN term index (freed in
persist_fini, no on-disk change); persist_entry_term reads it back (0=absent).
Legacy-0 -> WAL_LEGACY_TERM=1 at read-back only (raw 0 retained so present-legacy-0
is distinguishable from absent). 40-byte wal_entry_hdr_t preserved (value fix, R1.7).
5 new tests (test_term_safety_adapter.c); reviewer APPROVED. Feeds task 2.2.
All controller test groups report 0 failures; the meson full-suite timeout is the
bug-924 overlayfs /tmp fdatasync artifact, not this task.
1.1: WalCatchupEntry gains term@4/prevLogIndex@5/prevLogTerm@6 (append-only).
1.2: RequestVote/PreVote gain lastLogTerm@4/lastLogIndex@5; cluster.c vote callers
fixed to the extended library arity (RESTORES xce_controller + controller_unit_test
compile+link, broken by the raft-commit-safety signature extension); ha.c emits the
candidate's last-log tuple on send.
5 minimal stub log/commit callbacks wired into s_real_cbs so raft_init's new
non-NULL requirement is satisfied — tasks 2.x replace them with real bodies; the
logOk freshness gate is inert until the term seam (1.3) + on_get_entry_term (2.2).
Pre-existing test_repl_unit.c wal_catchup -EAGAIN failures + ASAN leaks are an
overlayfs /tmp fsync env artifact (bug-850), not from this task (untouched paths;
append-only schema cannot affect the @3 entries-list decode). Build/baseline
isolation is blocked by a c-capnproto flake-hash drift — see Implementation Notes.
Test-only: exercises the real ha_vote_self_freshness/handle_request_vote gate.
A heartbeat raise via ha_observe_heartbeat_committed lifts the floor to
max(durable=5, raised=9); candidate at 7 denied, at 9/12 granted; a lower
heartbeat never lowers it. Discriminating constants fail under either regression
(floor->durable-only or fold->min). No production/vote-path change (Req 3.2).
123/0.

primary_heartbeat_fn now sends xce_ha_heartbeat_req with the primary's OWN
atomic ha->term / persist.committed_lsn / committed_config_tag (NOT last_known_*),
snapshotted once per tick (Req 1.1, 3.4). XCE_TESTING seam adds a capturing
ha_heartbeat_req_hook (precedence new->legacy->real) so existing ha_nop_req_hook
liveness tests stay green; send-failure WARN + last_push_time unchanged. New test
poisons last_known_* to prove own-committed. Direct binary 119/0.

Append a committed-consume branch to the OP_nop handler (existing liveness/reply
byte-unchanged): ha_consume_heartbeat_committed applies the non-primary gate
(3.4) + stale-term guard (accept hb->term >= ha->term, 3.2), then delegates to
the monotonic ha_observe_heartbeat_committed (1.2). Absent body / zero / failed
gate are no-ops (4.2). No vote-floor edit — safety is the term-guard. 4 tests.

Strict-monotonic updater for a standby's learned committed position: advance
last_known_committed_lsn only when strictly greater (zero/lower no-op), set the
config tag together (tag-before-lsn release ordering for reader safety). No
ha_rejoin_reconcile, no truncation, no other mutation (Req 2.1-2.3, 3.1, 3.3).
4 revert-detecting unit tests; controller suite 0 failures.

Mirror the sibling last_known_committed_lsn: all writes release, reads acquire.
Prereq for a heartbeat-receive writer + the ctrlstatus reader to interact
safely (Req 2.3). Pure access migration, no behavior change; controller suite
0 failures.

Add ctrlstatus_fmt.h (ctrlstatus_format_time_ms): renders responder_time_ms as
local YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS,mmm, byte-equivalent to the controller log prefix
(tlog/my_tlog_format) so a captured ctrlstatus lines up against ctrl-N.log.
cmd_ctrlstatus prints a responderTime line; TZ-pinned exact-string unit test.
Req 11.2, 11.3. ctrlstatus group passes.

Role-branch the committed sourcing: PRIMARY reports its own authoritative
persist.committed_lsn / committed_config_tag; off-primary reports the LEARNED
ha->last_known_committed_lsn / last_known_committed_config_tag instead of the
primary-only raw markers that read 0 on a standby (fixes the applied>committed
inversion). Stamp responder_time_ms from CLOCK_REALTIME for log correlation.
Read-only (Req 10.1-10.4, 11.1). 4 new TDD tests; controller suite 110/0/0.

The wait-primary probe loop EXPECTS repeated failure until a primary serves, so it
no longer spams the console: joblist_query gains a quiet flag (the poll passes
quiet=1) and the client log threshold is raised to warn for the loop duration,
restored to the user's level on every exit path. Interactive joblist + the
assertions keep their diagnostics (quiet=0).
On the standby replicated-apply path, ha_apply_single_entry wrote the entry via
persist_wal_write_replicated (which correctly set the self-computed CRC chain
link p->last_crc), then called apply_wal_entry with a SYNTHETIC header whose
crc=0. apply_wal_entry's `p->last_crc = hdr->crc` clobbered the chain link with
0, so every subsequent replicated write stamped prev_crc=0 on disk. The on-disk
CRC chain broke at the second replicated entry — invisible while live (standbys
serve in-memory state) but fatal on COLD RESTART: replay hit the break, returned
RECOVER_TRUNCATED, recovered only the config prefix, and lost all committed jobs
(joblist=0). The sticky truncated verdict then drove a promotion-fence
availability wedge (bug-777) when every survivor was truncated.
Fix — single ownership of the WAL header + CRC chain:
- apply_wal_entry is now LOGICAL entity-restore only: signature
(p, type, lsn, payload, payload_len); no header. It advances the current_lsn
high-water (monotonic) but NEVER touches p->last_crc.
- The physical layer is the sole owner of the CRC chain: persist_wal_write_-
replicated on the live path, replay_wal/persist_recover on recovery.
- ha_apply_single_entry drops the fabricated header and passes entry fields
directly. The persist_recover replay caller is updated to the new signature.
Verified: new RED->GREEN test test_replicated_apply_chain_survives_cold_restart
(drives the real ha_apply_wal_catchup_entry path, cold-replays -> RECOVER_CLEAN,
all N recovered); controller suite 0 failures; 3-node rolling-SIGKILL soak on a
real ext2/3 fs now passes 5/5 (was wedge+loss at round 3); full cold restart
recovers all 6 committed jobs (was 0) with CLEAN verdicts and a normal election.

Per design invariant (a controller exits only on crash or admin kill), replace the
self-abort recovery terminal (tasks 3.3/4.3/4.4) with a loud, permanent, non-promotable
fence that stays alive and keeps retrying catch-up (self-heals on peer return; no manual
admin recovery). Records the never-self-terminate invariant as project-wide guidance in
src/controller/CLAUDE.md + .kiro/steering/ha-async-io.md.
