Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change enables cheaper deadlock monitoring and faster teardown, but armed monitoring can still miss wedges on transports without byte visibility, extreme timeout values can silently disable monitoring, and stats-free fatal logs can promise diagnostics that are not emitted; the fused-path exception is also undocumented.

…g at teardown The scheduled runtime's deadlock monitor shipped disarmed, so a wedged pipeline hung silently and forever. The fused path, which has no monitor, carries an unremovable 60s stall bound for exactly that reason — the two runtimes disagreed about whether a wedge should be survivable. Two costs kept the monitor off, and this removes both. Liveness came from `PipelineStats`, which is deliberately not free: `dispatch_one_step` times every dispatch with `Instant::now()` and gates that on `stats.is_some()` to keep the uninstrumented path zero-cost. So arming the monitor meant buying per-dispatch timing. The monitor only ever needed one question answered — has anything progressed? — so it now reads a dedicated `LivenessCounter`: one counter per worker, each padded to its own cache line so a bump is an uncontended increment, summed by the monitor once per poll. Instrumentation stays opt-in. Teardown polled a stop flag in 25ms slices, so `Pipeline::run` waited up to a full slice for the monitor to notice before joining it — dead time on the critical path of every run. A condvar wakes it immediately. Both measured on a quiet c8g.4xlarge (aarch64) with a dispatch-overhead benchmark added here, each configuration run three times against a shared baseline, with a clean-vs-clean control first to establish the noise floor: liveness counter alone no effect distinguishable from noise monitor armed, polled +80% (4 threads), +23% (8 threads) monitor armed, condvar within noise The +80%/+23% figures reproduced to three significant figures across reps; the counter's did not, which is what separates signal from drift here. The default stays 0. What now blocks arming it is neither cost: `MonitorBlindTransport` makes an armed monitor reject any chain with a non-`ByteBounded` edge, because its stall verdict counts bytes in flight to tell idle from wedged. `Process2` uses `CountBounded`, so defaulting it on would fail those chains rather than watch them. That is its own change. The benchmark is new because the pipeline had none, and no command drives it on this branch yet, so a hot-path change could not otherwise be measured.

Makes the pipeline's deadlock monitor cheap enough to arm, and adds the benchmark that proves it. Split out of the #736 review — that PR fixed one producer of gapped ordinals; this one is about the framework's response to a wedge from any producer.
The problem
The scheduled runtime's deadlock monitor ships disarmed (
deadlock_timeout_secs: 0), so a wedged pipeline hangs silently and forever — measured directly while reviewing #736: a gapped ordinal sequence ran past 120s with no diagnostic. The fused path, which has no monitor, carries an unremovable 60s stall bound precisely because it knows nothing would otherwise catch it. The two runtimes disagree about whether a wedge should be survivable, and the one every multi-threaded run uses is the unprotected one.It was disarmed for a reason, though — arming it cost real throughput. This removes both costs.
Liveness no longer rides on instrumentation
The monitor needs one fact: has anything progressed since the last poll? It read that from
PipelineStats, which is deliberately not free —dispatch_one_steptimes every dispatch withInstant::now()(~20–50ns aarch64, ~50–100ns x86_64) and gates it onstats.is_some()to keep the uninstrumented path zero-cost. Arming the monitor therefore meant buying per-dispatch timing for a fact that is one integer.LivenessCountersupplies it directly: one counter per worker, each padded to its own cache line so a bump is an uncontended increment on a line nobody else touches, summed by the monitor once per poll interval. A single shared atomic would have been a false-sharing hotspot that got worse with thread count — the wrong shape, since more threads is when a wedge matters most. Profiling stays opt-in.Teardown no longer polls
sleep_until_stopslept in 25ms slices and re-checked a flag, soPipeline::runwaited up to a full slice for the monitor to notice the stop before joining it — dead time on the critical path of every run. A condvar wakes it immediately. The existing comment already predicted this shape ("a fixed dead-time tail … a large relative regression on short ones"); the slices made it smaller, not absent.Measurements
No command drives the typed pipeline on this branch yet and it had no benchmark, so a hot-path change was unmeasurable.
benches/pipeline_dispatch.rscloses that: a near-no-op chain whose wall time is dominated by scheduler loop, queue push/pop, and reorder — read it as relative-only, since real steps do BGZF decode and parsing that dwarf dispatch.Run on a quiet
c8g.4xlarge(aarch64), three reps per configuration against one shared baseline, with a clean-vs-clean control first to establish the noise floor:The counter's numbers scatter across reps and straddle zero — that is drift, not cost. The polled-teardown numbers reproduce to three significant figures, which is what makes them a real regression, and they match the mechanism: ~one 25ms slice added to a 27ms run. After the condvar they fall back inside the control's own spread.
Worth stating plainly: the first attempt at this measurement was run on a loaded laptop and produced +84%/+291%/+221% for identical code. The control run is the only reason that was caught, and it is why the table above leads with one.
Why the default is still 0
Neither cost blocks it any more.
MonitorBlindTransportdoes: an armed monitor rejects any chain with a non-ByteBoundededge, because its stall verdict counts bytes in flight to tell "idle waiting on a slow source" from "wedged".Process2usesCountBounded, so flipping the default today would fail those chains outright rather than watch them. Teaching the verdict to handle byte-blind edges is a separate change; this PR makes it the only remaining blocker, and exportsDEFAULT_DEADLOCK_TIMEOUT_SECSfor callers who want to arm it now on byte-bounded chains.Notes for review
apply_stall_verdicttakesOption<&PipelineStats>now: an uninstrumented run still reports the stall, just without the per-step snapshot. Losing the snapshot beats losing the detection.LivenessCounter::bumpmasks rather than takes a modulo; slot counts round up to a power of two. A runtime integer division per productive dispatch is the wrong thing to put there regardless of what the benchmark can resolve.#[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)]additions are the liveness shard threading throughdispatch_one_step/run_worker_loop; a parameter struct would rename the problem, not fix it.Full gate green: fmt, clippy, tag-literals,
