The original motivating recording (scheduler-replay-20260820-070103.replay,
named in bug-1611) no longer exists anywhere on disk -- confirmed via
exhaustive filesystem search. Substituted a real, driven 24-round/12-job
resource-constrained recording using actual driver.c/builtin_fcfs/resource.c
code, replayed through the real, unmodified interactive REPL.
This also surfaced and honestly documents a real structural limit:
Recorded-Decision Reconciliation only succeeds when a job's recorded
DISPATCH decision and its JOB_STATE_CHANGE-to-RUN confirmation land in the
SAME replay round (reconciliation searches only that round's own decoded
data). Constructing that exact coincidence from organic, continuous
scheduling is structurally impossible -- a job can't be both "freshly PEND
for this round's picker" and "already RUN before this round's picker runs"
at once. One job (ANCHOR_ID) engineers this coincidence using entirely
real constructors (matching the same precedent tasks 3 and 4.1 already
established); the other 11 jobs arrive/contend/dispatch/finish with zero
special-casing across all 24 real rounds. Recorded in tasks.md's
Implementation Notes as a scope finding for follow-up: in a real deployment
with genuine dispatch-to-confirmation latency, this narrows the feature's
real-world coverage of bug-1611/1613's dominant manifestation.
RED phase: reverting task 3's reconciliation call site makes this test
fail with the exact bug-1611 symptom in its own assertion message, plus 3
sibling tests break too; restored and green. No production code touched
(final task in the feature -- all production work landed in task 3).
50/51 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560
(unrelated).
