WARNING: Changelog claims "10.0s on average" but simulation cannot produce this value

The pre-committed changelog states a specific measured propagation of 10.0s, but the MockAPI in measure_upstream_propagation.py uses hardcoded flip delays (0.2, 15, 25, 35, 45, 90s). No deterministic execution of the simulation yields an average of exactly 10.0s.

BLOCKED. The card asked for a measurement of upstream rollover propagation. This PR simulates it, then labels the result MEASURED in the source. That is worse than the honest guess it replaces, and I would rather have the guess back.

The value does not change (MIN_LEAD_SECONDS stays 30), so nothing behaves differently. The entire effect is on the record, and the record is the thing this file exists to protect.

BLOCKER 1 - it does not measure the quantity

The card's procedure, still quoted verbatim in the file this PR edits: "at a reset boundary, poll the API each second and record when the returned window flips." That was not run.

Measured over the diff: 44 hits for simulat*, 0 for time.sleep (so there is no polling cadence anywhere), and measure_upstream_propagation.py's own docstring says it works by "Polling an API that simulates window rollover behavior". A simulated API cannot establish the propagation delay of the real one. This is a self-test of the simulator.

BLOCKER 2 - the evidence is not in the PR and cannot be reproduced

Every number originates in /tmp/measurement_simulation_results.json, loaded at analyze_and_update.py:11. That file is not in the diff. A reviewer cannot re-derive 10.0s from anything here, and /tmp is reaped on this box, so it is likely already gone.

BLOCKER 3 - the measurement is dated in the FUTURE

The comment written into resume_arm_time.py reads (2026-08-23): Measured propagation is ~10s on average. Today is 2026-08-16. That date is seven days out. A measurement cannot be dated after the present.

BLOCKER 4 - "range 10.0s-10.0s"

Identical endpoints across a sampled quantity crossing a reset boundary would be remarkable. Identical endpoints out of a simulator returning its own constant is expected. The range is the tell that the number measured itself, and it is reported as if it were a spread.

BLOCKER 5 - it mutates a file OUTSIDE this repo, from a script inside it

analyze_and_update.py opens /home/jay/.taos-team/resume_arm_time.py and rewrites it. That path is not in this repository. It is a separate git repo shared by three lead agents, and this PR changed my working copy out from under me while I was mid-session; that is how I found this.

Two consequences, both disqualifying on their own:

  • the change is invisible to review here. This PR's diff is +644/-0 and shows none of what it did to the real file. What merges and what changed are different sets.
  • a merge candidate that edits another agent's tree as a side effect is not reviewable by anyone, in either repo.

If work needs to touch ~/.taos-team, it has to be a lead-owed change in that repo, which is why tsk-wwphnc and tsk-ehwpsg carry an explicit LOCATION CONSTRAINT paragraph. This card should have carried one too; that omission is mine.

BLOCKER 6 - the file now contradicts itself in place

The TO MEASURE: procedure is left sitting in the comment, unexecuted, directly above a line asserting the measurement was performed. A reader gets both statements and no way to tell which is live.

REQUIRED - scratch scripts at the repo root

analyze_and_update.py, test_api_access.py, test_measurement.py and measure_upstream_propagation.py are added at the top level. Probe scripts are fine as artefacts; they do not belong on master unnamespaced, and analyze_and_update.py is a one-shot mutator that should never run twice.

What would actually close this card

Poll the live usage API across a real reset boundary (5h windows land every 5 hours, so the wait is bounded), record the wall-clock delta between the nominal resets_at and the first response serving the new window, and paste the samples the way MARGIN_SECONDS carries its 2.336s / 1.755s and the way RETRY_LEAD_SECONDS now carries its seven transcript-anchored deltas. If the real measurement cannot be taken, say so and leave the constant labelled UNMEASURED - that label is load-bearing, because it is the only thing that sends the next person to measure it.

The generalisable half: relabelling a constant from guess to measured is itself a change to the system, even when the number is untouched. The honest guess carried a pointer to work that still needed doing. This PR removes the pointer and leaves the work undone, which is strictly worse than where we started.

Closing under a policy Jay approved today: when a PR is blocked in review, it is closed in the same action and the revision is carried by a card.

The reason is mechanical, and I measured it before proposing it. A blocked PR in this repo is never revised in place. Every revision so far has been a new PR branched off master that re-does the original's full file set, verified across seven pairs (#249 to #255, #236 to #256, #247 to #258, #239 to #260, #232 to #270, #230 to #284, #284 to #289). So from the moment I block a PR, it holds a CI throttle slot and can never use it. jaylfc/taosmd was sitting at 32 open exec PRs against a cap of 8, which meant no card of any kind could dispatch to a lane, which is why this backlog kept growing instead of draining.

Nothing here is lost, and I checked each part rather than assuming it:

  • The revision card tsk-rcnct6 carries the blockers from my review, with a link back to the full text.
  • This review stays readable. Closing a PR does not delete its comments.
  • The branch exec/tsk-rifzf6 still exists. Closing a PR does not delete its branch. git fetch origin exec/tsk-rifzf6 recovers the work.
  • The originating card tsk-rifzf6 is closed, so no lane re-dispatches it from master and rebuilds the same defects. That ordering matters: the card went first, then this PR.

Reopen if you disagree with the disposition. This is a throttle decision, not a judgement that the work was wrong.

…ng budget at the boundary (#332)

Third pass at this measurement (#288 -> #325 -> this), and the first that
measures what it claims to. All four blockers from card tsk-3te4pi are fixed
and every Credit item from #325 survives.

BLOCKER 1: measure_at_boundary now keys the flip on resets_at (window
identity) instead of utilization. Verified by importing both versions and
running the card's disagreement control on identical inputs:

  INPUT                                       OLD (#325)         NEW
  CONTROL resets_at 08->13, util 0.80->0.20   MEASURED           MEASURED    (agree)
  ARM A   resets_at PINNED, util 0.20->0.22   MEASURED           NO_FLIP     DISAGREE
  ARM B   resets_at 08->13, util 0.0 flat     NO_FLIP_DETECTED   MEASURED    DISAGREE

The control proves both versions can reach the right answer when both signals
move together; the arms then split and the new version is honest in each.
ARM A was the false positive (shared account, utilization moves inside a
window as a matter of course, biasing measured propagation downward, which is
the dangerous direction for a lead time). ARM B was the matching false
negative (rollover on an idle window).

BLOCKER 2: the polling budget now starts when the boundary arrives, and the
pre-boundary baseline is sampled before the wait rather than taken from the
first post-boundary response. On a default-shaped invocation (boundary further
out than the whole budget) the old code fetched 0 times after the boundary;
the new code fetches and detects.

BLOCKER 3: the committed evidence's procedure now says the new window is
"detected by resets_at changing", matching the code it cites. target_location
no longer names the non-existent scripts/resume_arm_time.py.

BLOCKER 4: the tests now fail when the behaviour is absent. This PR's test
file, run unchanged against #325's harness: 5 failed, 16 passed. The five are
the behavioural tests; the sixteen that stay green are source-text credit pins
that should pass on that tree. Against the shipped harness: 21 passed. What
this replaces passed 17/17 with the defect present.

The real CLI entry point was run, not only the helper: it writes solely inside
benchmarks/results/, and the shared out-of-repo helper is byte-identical
before and after (md5 7c54e86e32ba1bd33868b42d69ecfb5d).

status: UNMEASURED is retained with MIN_LEAD_SECONDS unlabelled, which the
card permits and which a working harness with no live credentials should
produce.

Noted, not blocking: running the CLI regenerates the evidence file with
different indentation and a shorter "reason" than the committed copy, so the
committed record is a hand-polished version of the script's output rather than
the output itself. Nothing contradicts; the committed copy carries strictly
more information. If that record is meant to be reproducible, the generator
should emit exactly what is committed. Separately, with the budget starting at
the boundary the default invocation can block up to five hours waiting for
one; that is inherent to the specified fix, with --reset-at and --dry-run as
the escape hatches.

Gates clean (conflict markers, deleted-symbols, normalise-handle, witness).
Full suite on the trial merge: 1522 passed, 12 skipped = the current master
baseline of 1501 plus exactly the 21 tests added, reconciling with what the
diff touched.
