Baseline: 8af53146e47a (verify the full revision in the regression environment
report). This audit describes software contracts, not production qualification.
| Area | Baseline gap / preserved invariant | Implementation and regression evidence |
|---|---|---|
| A: hot authorization | ACL and rate hooks were not called by TCP | server::HotSecurity::admit gates every data operation before storage dispatch; tests/hot_security.rs exercises socket-level denial, tenant isolation and rate exhaustion |
| A: lifecycle | Only committed, compatible blocks may hit; unknown completion retains credit | Existing lifecycle/fault tests retained. MemoryStore::get_one bounds reader pins and aggregate reply payloads before copying; reader cancel storm tests retain expired pin credit until explicit drain/fence |
| A: prefix | Whole stored blocks only | ADR 0003 remains unchanged; prefix and incompatible valid-length tests run in workspace regression |
| B: client | No routed connection pool or retry ledger | routing::ShardedClient bounds sockets, routes and retries; shard sessions preserve six RPC methods and shard-local generations; tests/sharded_tcp.rs and routing unit tests exercise lost replies, concurrent restart and stale epochs |
| B: membership | No atomic batch membership update | ShardDirectory::apply_membership validates before fencing/publication; ControlPlane::apply_membership uses the same atomic path; failed fences preserve fills, credits and notices |
| C: availability | Actual cold read errors could escape as errors | refill_matching returns Missing for availability failures without store mutation; tests/failure_contract.rs covers HEAD, manifest and payload stages |
| C: publication and reclaim | Retention errors could discard queued work or starve healthy jobs | Cold reclaim retains and rotates failed work; renewal cancels stale expiry; identity/digest/v3-only publication and ambiguous-PUT non-deletion tests remain enforced |
| D: simulation | Queue existed without a host message facade or functional TCP pair | HostSimulation, message cancellation/fault tests and cpu_simulation_pair.py compare synthetic byte checksums; no timing/performance result |
| E: engine spike | No independent expected-ABI import harness | EngineBlockContract and engine-spike reject incompatible imports; real engine route remains Pending |
| F: observability | Descriptor/staging counts could be mistaken for wire measurements | ClientIoStats separates complete RPC body/envelope byte counts; pool/directory stats expose fence, drain and quarantine state; these exclude network headers, retransmits and partial writes |
- Deployments must authenticate and protect the network boundary. GCK1 carries a credential fingerprint, not a TLS session or a nonce. mTLS, replay-proof transport authentication and automatic secret rotation are not implemented. Empty/restrictive ACL and unlinked-feature tests enforce fail-closed behavior.
- Automatic mutation retries are disabled by default. Opt-in requires an
operator guarantee that server idempotency retention exceeds request TTL.
Getis never automatically retried because it creates a pin. Tests enforce that an ambiguous Get or default mutation sends only one request. - Routing uses explicit operator-fenced epoch snapshots. This is not distributed consensus, automatic discovery or a live control-plane daemon. Prefixes on a different shard are a clean miss; the client does not fan out globally.
- Synchronous filesystem/object-store operations cannot be preempted by the core trait. Adapters must enforce I/O deadlines; a declared slow cold tier short-circuits without I/O. The mock tests do not prove a wall-clock bound on arbitrary blocking adapters.
- Automatic orphan discovery/GC is not implemented. Tests ensure a failed or ambiguously acknowledged PUT does not cause deletion. Explicit retention reclaim only touches enrolled objects and verifies deletion.
- No fleet-size, PB-scale, 10,000-GPU, day-long soak, physical NIC flap or hardware drain has been qualified. More complete CPU contracts do not make this repository production-ready.
