Feature-level validation ran 4 parallel dimensions: requirements
coverage (38 ACs, 33 full, 5 partial -- all tracing to the already-known
bulk-insert partial-visibility gap plus an admitted commit-barrier-count
inference), design/boundary alignment (ALIGNED, no drift), cross-task
integration (SEAMS_SOUND, wire format/arithmetic/contracts verified
consistent end to end), and mechanical checks including a live smoke
boot (fresh single-node deploy, real array submission, one WAL record,
all elements queryable) -- PASS.
The coverage pass sharpened restore_job_array()'s known bulk-insert
gap: it's a literal, code-proven violation of Requirements 2.3 and 9.4,
not just a soft nuance -- a resource-exhaustion failure during the
bulk-insert pass can permanently orphan array elements that exist and
are addressable but never get scheduled. Filed as bug-1443
(.wolf/buglog.json) for tracking. User decision: GO, ship with the
gap tracked rather than blocking on a fast-follow fix -- the trigger
condition is narrow and every other validation dimension is clean.
Closing bug-1443 needs a new kv.c/kvmgr.c primitive or a re-derive-
and-renotify path, explicitly out of this spec's approved scope.
spec.json phase -> implementation-complete.
