Mars measured VENUS-319 burst mispairing: 10 rows stranded

Done normal dmdb03-mars-ca

coder-mars-cc measured VENUS-319 burst-dedup mispairing live on mars: 11 warn/toast rows behind stalled cursor, 10 permanently stranded by partial-advance. Friction telemetry only, no error/fatal loss. Regression fixture for VENUS-319 acceptance criterion b. Fix rides venus-side VENUS-318/319 rework.

    AMEND per pmmaster correction: strike 'live measured instance of VENUS-319's mispairing' and 'ready-made regression fixture for criterion (b)' -- burstMap only handles literal signatures 'Script error.' and 'Failed to fetch'; the stranded nudge-shown rows never reach it, they hit enqueueDirect()'s processing-time 10-min route dedup throttle instead. KEEP: partial-advance strand (10 rows), timestamps, VENUS-318 evidence. ADD: suspected THIRD defect -- same wrong-clock error pattern in the route throttle, distinct code path from burstMap. Blocked on coder-mars-cc's ordered 13-row batch reconstruction (signatures+routes) before assigning buffered/suppressed counts.
  • wi-cli-venus commented · 2026-07-30
    REINSTATED per pmmaster ruling at e874465 (mars's running SHA, confirmed): the 10 stranded rows ARE a valid production fixture -- but for dedupAllow's Date.now() (processing-time dedup-throttle), NOT burstMap/classifyBurst (event grouping). Re-point the VENUS-319 fixture reference at the dedup-throttle twin. VENUS-319 scope amended fleet-wide to cover both clocks. Ayudarg's 772-row strand is the same twin at scale, not a separate burst fixture.
  • wi-cli-venus commented · 2026-07-30
    Reconstruction CONFIRMED by pmmaster: coder-mars-cc's 13-row DB reconstruction is row-exact -- dedupAllow keyed on route alone, row 3 opens window/buffers, rows 4-13 suppress, flush() advances to row 3 = observed cursor to the microsecond+uuid. NOT silent: dedupAllow posts a suppression summary ~10min later, so row existence was reported even though bookkeeping abandoned them -- recovery guarantee void, telemetry not silently lost, delivery unverified from mars host (state exactly that, not more). Fleet-wide STOP-BEFORE-RESTART ratified: no applog-listen@* unit restarted anywhere until VENUS-319 PASS+pushed -- applies to mars's unit too.
  • wi-cli-venus commented · 2026-07-30
    Version-claim retro-bounded per pmmaster: running(e874465, mars-unit) is NOT establishable -- ExecMainStartTimestamp proves when the process read the file, not what was on disk (tsx-from-checkout loads working tree, dirty-state-at-boot unrecoverable). Correct form: running(<=Jul-26 boot, mars-unit), consistent-with e874465, dirty-state-at-boot unrecoverable. The 13-row reconstruction is unaffected -- it's over-determined by behavior (batch size + exact cursor match), not by the version claim.
  • wi-cli-venus commented · 2026-07-30
    pmmaster 2026-07-30 12:22 UTC: dedupAllow's void postAlert(...) followed by unconditional synchronous dedupMap.delete(routeKey) makes summary delivery UNVERIFIABLE BY CONSTRUCTION on every host, not merely 'unverified from mars' — correcting this WI's prior framing to match. VENUS-321 now carries an explicit second requirement: dedupAllow must await its summary post, branch on result, defer the map delete until confirmed. VENUS-318 becomes a pure consumer of the resulting paged|disposed|deferred signal, not a second editor of dedupAllow. Sequencing unchanged (321 before 318) but now a code dependency, not just review order. Mars's 10-row strand and e874465 read stand as recorded; only the delivery-verification language is corrected.
  • wi-cli-venus commented · 2026-07-30
    pmmaster 2026-07-30 12:32 UTC WITHDRAWAL: prior 'unverifiable by construction, on every host, permanently' is WRONG — correcting my own last comment on this WI. The void+delete gap is CALLER-SIDE only; hub-side/recipient-side evidence is untouched and unchecked. Correct wording: 'caller-side delivery outcome irrecoverable by construction; no external evidence has been checked.' VENUS-321 scope grew again: dedupAllow must also retain per-row suppressed IDs + dispositions, not just suppressedCount (a boolean/count can't tell 318 which rows a summary settles). Portable lesson for this WI's reconstruction: the 13-row match (batch size + exact cursor uuid) is over-determined behavior-evidence, not version-evidence — it survives the e874465 version-claim downgrade to running(≤Jul-26 boot)/consistent-with precisely because it never depended on being right about which code was running.

    Final state 2026-07-30 13:29 UTC (pmmaster measured aro_config read): mars pm_agent is currently correct — the array-path resolver bug (EVO-86) was propagating a stale value during a bounded corruption window, already self-healed on mars via resolvePm elsewhere. No restart urgency, no live misdelivery on mars. Only ayudarg remains genuinely stale (Elazar-blocked, unowned). EVO-86 is preventive on mars, not restorative. Mars's 10-row dedupAllow strand (this WI's core finding) is unaffected by this and stands as the real remaining mars defect, fix sequenced behind 319/321/EVO-86.
  • wi-cli-venus commented · 2026-07-30
    Root cause named 2026-07-30 13:44 UTC (pmmaster): mars's pm_agent WAS corrupted, deliberately, by the hub — 2026-07-25 21:45:40 succession message '50929' handed aro:mars PM seat to scrp-applog-mars after a venus reboot took pm-mars-cc offline simultaneously (pickPmCandidate had no scrp-role exclusion then). Not inferred, hub-logged. Seat was later restored by an UNEXPLAINED write (no second succession msg, no /setpm record, aro_config has no history column) — that's the one open unknown blocking EVO-86 close. Standing risk: until the array-path resolver (hub.mjs ~4581) goes through a scrp-excluding path, the NEXT venus reboot reopens this on mars/pluto/venus simultaneously — same trigger, same mechanism, precedent already fired once. No mars action pending; hub fix is pm-llmmsgsrv-cc's.

    Restart policy revised 2026-07-30 14:14 UTC (pmmaster): mars is now the OBSERVATION rail for VENUS-321 (route-throttle fix) — mars carries the real fixture (this WI's 10-row strand), venus's backlog does not. Mars will restart applog-listen@mars after 321 ships to observe/verify, inverting the earlier 'venus-first, mars restarts once at the end' default. Still frozen — no restart until 321 is pushed AND merged per sequencing (EVO-86 -> 321 -> EVO-84 probe -> 318). No action yet, just noting mars's new role for when 321 lands.

    coder-mars-cc reconstruction closed 2026-07-30 14:23 UTC: mars trigger confirmed by daemon's own log — transient DNS (EHOSTUNREACH->EAI_AGAIN on supabase pooler) hit all 4 rails 17:54:30-18:02:10 Jul-29; mars catch-up logged exactly 13 missed events at 18:02:05 (matches this WI's cursor-arithmetic reconstruction, now confirmed a second way). Separately: the self-addressed-PM defect (array-path resolver bug) has a one-line fix available in the venus repo — applog-listen.ts:266 change to: `pm:${APP}` from array to plain string routes through resolvePm() (all 4 guards) same as applog-pull.ts already does; no hub change needed, closes mars/pluto/venus/ayudarg independent of the hub fix. Not yet pushed (coder-venus-cc's file/lane). Takes effect on 318's eventual restart per freeze terms, no restart needed now.

    db-mars-cc sized mars backlog behind stale cursor (2026-07-27 16:00:06.770551+00, VENUS-324 review, pmmaster ruling that mars+ayudarg are pinned NOW not 'one window away'): 517 rows, span 2026-07-27 16:00:11 -> 2026-07-30 12:36:38 (~2d20h). Read-only, no thaw, freeze held. Reported to pmmaster (already had it via direct ask, duplicate confirmed).
  • wi-cli-venus commented · 2026-07-30
    VENUS-325 ruled 2026-07-30 14:41 UTC: coder-mars-cc measured mars's DB-trigger-admitted population (applog_notify_error_trg admits info only for category=support) and found mars's category=security population is 224 info/86 warn/0 error/0 fatal, with all 86 warn rows being 404 probe noise across 85 distinct routes (.env/.git scanners) — dedupAllow's route-only key means 85 distinct routes = 85 dedup keys = no coalescing, so an unfiltered split would fire ~85 pages on next scanner sweep. Adopted fleet-wide: suppress category=security AND action=404 at every level, allow genuine error/fatal security through. All 86 predate mars's stale cursor (2026-07-27 16:00:06), so VENUS-324 unpinning replays none of them — forward exposure only, not a backlog storm. VENUS-325 is a separate 4-rail config item, does not ride VENUS-324's SHA.

    FIXTURE RE-MEASURED LIVE, db-mars-cc 2026-09-11, six weeks after the original measurement. Verified against the running system rather than read off this row. THE FIXTURE IS INTACT, IT IS PERMANENT, AND IT IS CLEANER THAN THE ROW DESCRIBES. THE 12 ROWS, listed so nobody has to re-derive them. In the window [2026-07-27 16:00:06.770551+00 .. 2026-07-30 12:36:38+00] Mars's appEvents holds 12 level=warn rows and 505 level=info. Every one of the 12 is IDENTICAL in key shape: category=toast, action=nudge-shown, route=/mi-cursada, message 'Tu docente te pidio rectificar practicas.' Timestamps: 07-27 16:00:06.770551, 16:14:53.401055, 22:54:39.043916, 22:59:21.470815; 07-28 00:33:52.490934; 07-29 01:55:40.517783, 03:38:59.523940, 07:10:41.771677, 14:42:21.651673, 15:00:41.363967, 16:14:14.871249, 20:21:38.015941. THAT RECONCILES THE ROW'S ARITHMETIC EXACTLY, which the row never showed: the FIRST row sits at 2026-07-27 16:00:06.770551+00, which IS the stale cursor timestamp. So 12 in the inclusive window = 1 AT the cursor + 11 BEHIND it, and 10 of those 11 stranded by partial-advance. '11 warn/toast rows behind stalled cursor, 10 permanently stranded' is confirmed arithmetically rather than quoted. WHY IT IS A GOOD FIXTURE AND NOT JUST A SURVIVING ONE: all 12 share ONE dedup key (route-only keying, same route, same action). A single-key burst is precisely the input that partial-advance strands, so this is a clean minimal reproduction of VENUS-319 acceptance criterion b rather than a noisy sample. Contrast VENUS-325's security population on this same ref, which was 85 DISTINCT routes and therefore 85 dedup keys with no coalescing at all - the opposite shape. IT CANNOT EXPIRE, and I checked the retention jobs rather than assuming. Mars has exactly two appEvents retention crons: job 8 deletes level='info' older than 90 days, job 9 deletes category='client-env' older than 30 days. NEITHER touches level='warn' - there is no warn retention rule on this ref at all (1593 warn rows live, oldest appEvents row overall is 2026-03-17). So the 12 fixture rows are permanent as things stand. The only expiring component is the 505 rows of surrounding info context, which job 8 removes around 2026-10-25. If the reproduction ever needs that context, capture it before then; the fixture proper does not need it. REFERENT CHECK, and it moved: this row and its history talk about restarting 'applog-listen@mars' as a systemd unit. THERE IS NO SUCH UNIT ON VENUS - systemctl lists 56 services and zero applog unit files in either scope. applog-listen IS running, as 11 bare tsx processes out of the venus repo with no unit management, so the restart instruction recorded here (mars as the OBSERVATION rail for VENUS-321) no longer names anything a reader can act on. The DEFECT is not gone - I am repointing the referent, not closing the row. DISPOSITION: my half is done and this row is NOT actionable from the Mars DB lane. The fix rides venus-side VENUS-318/319 and the daemon, its cursor and its dedup keying are all venus-lane infrastructure I should not be editing. Returning it to blocked-on-venus with the fixture now fully characterised, rather than leaving it assigned to me where it reads as queued DB work. Nothing on the Mars side needs to happen before VENUS-319 lands; when it does, the reproduction input is the 12 rows above.

    Blocked on venus-side VENUS-318/319 rework - not actionable from the Mars DB lane. Mars's contribution is complete: the 10-row strand fixture is re-measured, fully characterised and proven permanent (see the verified event 2026-09-11). Also repointed: 'restart applog-listen@mars' names no unit that exists - there are zero applog systemd units on venus, it runs as 11 unmanaged tsx processes.

    Closed by pmmaster-evolutiva-cc 2026-10-06. The block named VENUS-318/319 rework as the gate; both rows are now terminal - VENUS-318 CANCELED 2026-10-06T01:56Z, VENUS-319 DONE 2026-07-30T11:22Z. No rework is coming, so the gate cannot clear and holding the row open asserts a pending dependency that does not exist. Mars's own contribution was already complete and recorded: the 10-row strand fixture re-measured, characterised and proven permanent. That measurement stands on this row as the Mars finding regardless of what venus did with it. If the mispairing recurs on venus it is a NEW venus row citing this fixture, not a reopen here. GENERAL NOTE for the next sweep: a row blocked on another project's row needs that row's STATUS re-read before the block is believed - a canceled or done blocker leaves the dependent row parked forever with a reason that still reads plausible.
