Browser terminal floods receive 1013 stream closes and automatically reconnect on a healthy local link. Found while measuring #260; this issue is for the product bug, separate from the research harness. No fix is included in the research branches.
Reproduction:
research-head-to-headat78ccce47e744plus the research-onlybrowser-flood.tsdriver; production aarch64 musl server, production tracer build, real embedded infraternal agent, shim and PTY, Chromium 155.0.8059.79 on std02. No packet loss or injected delay. The existing real-server fixture supplies a lean TLS/WebSocket front; it does not record or concatenate output text. A software passkey signs up through the production UI. Each of three runs cats 75,000,000 random bytes encoded as base64 with 120-column wrapping, then prints a marker absent from echoed input.attachment ended)attachment ended)These are build-host functional reproductions, not perf timing evidence. Completion after automatic recovery does not prove uninterrupted delivery or preservation of every output byte. Runs 1/3 delivered approximately 101.67 MB including PTY newline expansion; run 2 delivered only approximately 49.06 MB before the final marker after recovery.
Confirmed code path for the generic 1013:
crates/infraternal-server/src/websocket.rsforwards an attachment receiver until it ends, then synthesizesTerminalOutput::Closed { code: 1013, reason: "attachment ended" }. Inembedded.rs,Incoming::Outputcallsretire_streamon a sequence gap or failed bounded output admission;retire_streamremoves the attachment/sender before sending a close to the infraternal agent. This loses the precise local retirement reason at the browser boundary. The output queue is bounded to 256 events, while byte credit is independently bounded. Temporary content-free instrumentation is being used to distinguish queue exhaustion from sequence gaps in this reproduction; the 1001 control close is a distinct liveness path, not a 1013 liveness code.Minimal proposal, pending diagnostic attribution: preserve the precise retirement reason, add a failing production-browser flood regression, and make output admission/forwarding honor the outstanding byte grant without retiring a healthy viewer on a burst of small frames. Keep per-viewer isolation and resource bounds. Investigate the independent control-reader admission/liveness stall if the diagnostic trace confirms it. Do not merely raise the keepalive timeout or globally remove backpressure.
Evidence: JSON receipts and production-build screenshots are attached below. Local source/evidence:
/home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j20/evidence/browser-flood; remote equivalents are under/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j20/evidence/on std02. No authentication material or terminal input is retained.J20 reproduction evidence from the production browser. Build-host functional evidence only; JSON records contain counts/close metadata, and screenshots show the completed screen after recovery.
J20 diagnostic follow-up: the 1013 trigger is confirmed as bounded output queue admission failure, not a sequence gap or a keepalive timeout.
An instrumented rebuild of the same production baseline on std02, with Chromium 155.0.8059.79 and the same three ~100 MB terminal floods, emitted
J20_OUTPUT_ADMISSION_FAILED capacity=0 closed=falsefour times. There were four corresponding stream-1 1013 closes across the runs (1 / 2 / 1). There were noJ20_OUTPUT_SEQUENCE_GAPmarkers. Each run reached its final screen marker, but delivered only 88,062,697 / 33,018,364 / 69,027,559 protocol output bytes, so completion does not prove full output delivery after snapshot recovery. Build-host durations are functional reproduction evidence only.Code path at research-head-to-head baseline
78ccce47e7:embedded.rs,Incoming::Output:attachment.output.try_send(...)fails while the receiver is open because the 256-message queue is full. Byte credit and message capacity are separate bounds.retire_streamremoves the attachment and its output sender, then sends a close toward the infraternal agent.websocket.rs's output forwarder drains/ends and synthesizes stream close 1013, reasonattachment ended, losing the local retirement reason.One diagnostic run also had a separate control-stream 1001 (
the server stopped receiving connection replies). The application-admission diagnostic emitted no >100 ms stalls, so this trace does not establish the cause of that separate liveness expiry. The original roughly 500 ms keepalive observation does not explain the confirmed stream-1013 path.Minimal follow-up proposal only: preserve the precise retirement reason at the browser boundary; add a production-browser flood regression that checks continuity, closes and recovery; investigate aligning queue admission with granted byte credit so a healthy reader is not retired merely because many small output frames exhaust the message bound. Retain explicit memory bounds and per-attachment isolation. Increasing keepalive timeouts would not address this confirmed 1013 trigger. No product fix is included in J20.
Temporary diagnostics were confined to the remote scratch checkout and have been restored. Attached diagnostic log/JSON/screenshots preserve the observation; no diagnostic source change will be pushed.
J20 browser-triage handoff: reproducible production-Chromium harness committed as
c42c3f103onresearch-head-to-head, final branch headad8eb0c318, pushed. The confirmed queue-admission finding and minimal proposal remain above; no product fix or diagnostic instrumentation is included. The separate control-stream 1001 cause remains unconfirmed.The unchanged full
scripts/verify fastshared workspace gate passed on compute01 with both research slices and exact final-source hash proof. Final evidence and verbatim summary: #260 (comment).Browser/diagnostic processes are stopped; original std02 source/binary was restored and J20 build caches are removed. This issue remains open for the product fix.
Start: branch
fix-flood-1013-270created fromorigin/devat105b1a28d3b3ea86487c457249ab3f953a4c27d3. Tracing J20 admission failure and building the failing real-browser/Rust regressions first; builds and tests will run on compute01 via build-slot, measurements on the perf VM via perf-run.Finding: J20 instrumented production runs confirmed
try_sendadmission failure withcapacity=0 closed=falseand no sequence-gap markers. On this base,embedded.rscaps each output queue at 256 events; a full queue immediately callsretire_stream, removes that attachment, and sends 1013. Valid byte credit and event slots are independent, and the WebSocket forwarder can pause behind its separate four-event connection queue. This makes a busy downstream look stalled. The ~500 ms liveness lease does not trigger this 1013; the separate control 1001 remains unproven. The fix will preserve D13 raw bytes and the existing 8 MiB credit bound, with bounded contiguous-frame coalescing so queue pressure applies backpressure instead of retiring the viewer.J38b start: continuing on branch
fix-flood-1013-270, based onorigin/devat105b1a28d3b3ea86487c457249ab3f953a4c27d3. I am reviewing J38’s two uncommitted regressions, reading the referenced decisions and J20 evidence, then will run failing-first Rust and production Chromium checks on the assigned build VM. I will preserve D13 raw-byte semantics and the existing credit/memory limits unless the documented decision requires an owner question. Next: identify a bounded admission strategy, measure it on the perf VM, runscripts/verify fast, and post the evidence and head.J38b progress: committed and pushed WIP
2e8465224onfix-flood-1013-270. I kept J38’s real-server Chromium spec and the retirement-reason regression, and expanded the Rust credit-window case from exactly 256 events to the full 8 MiB window as 4 KiB frames. The Rust test now requires the route and all raw bytes to survive; the browser test checks no stream 1013 and no discontinuous output offsets. These are regression tests only. Next: run them against this unmodified dev behavior on compute01 through build-slot, then implement a byte-bounded coalescing queue if the expected failures reproduce.J38b progress: reviewed the pushed regression and traced both queue stages: the per-attachment output channel holds 256 events and the WebSocket forwarder channel holds 4; credit is 1 MiB initially and capped at 8 MiB. No production edits yet. From the code host, SSH to claude@infraternal-dev-01-compute01 currently fails DNS resolution, so the queued baseline logs on that VM are not verifiable from here. Retrying the required host path before implementation. Branch fix-flood-1013-270 is at
2e84652246.Correction to my previous note: I accidentally tested claude@claude-infraternal-dev-01-compute01. The correct host from the brief resolves and SSH works. Both baseline jobs are still queued in build-slot: Rust PID 365280 at queue position 3 (log /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38b/rust-red.log), Chromium PID 462230 at position 6 (log /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38b/browser-before.log); neither exit file exists. No production edits yet.
Build-host progress: stopped the stale J38 duplicate baseline waiting in build-slot for 37 minutes (PIDs 220476/220486; detached base worktree with only the same two regression files). It was running the same test and had no result, so it would duplicate and delay J38b. The J38b Rust and Chromium baseline jobs remain queued; their logs still show four busy slots and no exit files.
Finding (Rust baseline, compute01, functional evidence): the pushed regression fails on unmodified production code.
cargo test -p infraternal-server --lib a_stalled_viewer_can_hold_one_full_credit_window_without_being_retired --jobs 4exited 101; failure:a busy viewer was retired after the event queue filled despite remaining byte credit. The 8 MiB credit-window case reproduces event-slot exhaustion. The production Chromium baseline remains queued; no implementation edits until it finishes.Finding (initial-credit memory baseline, perf VM, through perf-run --root): existing ignored scale test measured 128 attachments each with 1 MiB credit and unique 4 KiB frames (128 MiB queued payload). RSS: baseline 11,384 KiB; idle queues 15,108 KiB; full queues 149,684 KiB, so full-minus-idle is 134,576 KiB (about 1.027 MiB per attachment). Dispatch p99 was 0.009137 ms; run exited 0, wall 0.259 s, steal 1/107 jiffies. This is the debug actor memory baseline; I will repeat with the bounded queue.
Baseline artifact provenance: compute01 built the test-only J38b head into a 21,431,472-byte static binary, SHA-256 b527c33d9df30659c816b31546c9583b05c85bae87fa7b95eec4e207d589ea3c. The J20 kit manifest lists the same hash for bin/infraternal, so the kit binary is byte-identical to the current no-production-change baseline. I will use it for the pre-fix term-local perf-run measurement.
Browser baseline environment blocker: the production build completed, but Playwright could not launch headless Chromium, so the product regression did not run. The shell reports 13 missing shared libraries, including libnspr4.so, libnss3.so, libatk-1.0.so.0, libgbm.so.1 and libasound.so.2; exit 1 is a launch failure, not the expected product failure. I am rerunning through build-slot with those runtime libraries supplied by a transient Nix shell; no product source change.

It is pinned to
/home/claude/worktrees/j38b, which still contains the test-only WIP. The Rust credit-window regression already fails on unmodified production code, and the perf baseline reproduces 1013 with echo p99 1.15 ms; both findings are recorded above. No production source has changed. I am keeping the required browser RED queued and will implement once it reaches its assertion, then rerun it green.J38b progress: the production Chromium baseline is still queued on compute01 (launcher PID 1031252, build-slot PID 1031253; log

I queued the separate full-queue retirement-reason regression as well (PID 1572280; log/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38b/retirement-before.log). No production source has changed. Next: capture the Chromium assertion failure, then implement byte-bounded contiguous output batching and reserve delivery for explicit retirement.Finding (Chromium baseline environment, compute01): the production build reached its browser launcher after acquiring build-slot (slot 4/4), then exited 1 before Playwright because

Next: capture the Chromium assertion result, then implement bounded contiguous output coalescing under existing byte credit and preserve typed retirement closes.J38b update: the production Chromium baseline failed before reaching the product assertion on compute01. The nixpkgs-unstable transient browser libraries require GLIBC 2.43, while the VM has GLIBC 2.41. This is an environment blocker, not a product result. I’m locating a Nix-provided runtime compatible with 2.41, then I’ll rerun the test-only RED baseline. WIP regression tests remain pushed at

The two Rust regressions are confirmed RED on unchanged production code: a full 8 MiB credited window exhausts the 256-event channel, and a full notice queue drops the typed 1013 close.The stable-runtime production Chromium attempt was still polling compute01 build-slot after about 10 minutes; its log was empty, so Playwright had not started. I stopped only the J38b launcher/build-slot PIDs 2582049 and 2582051. The scratch log, launcher scripts, PID record, and test-only worktree
/home/claude/worktrees/j38bare preserved. Restart command:bash /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38b/rerun-browser-before-short-root.sh. No production source has changed. Next: finish the source-path review, obtain a real Chromium RED, then implement output coalescing under the existing byte credit and keep explicit retirement notices deliverable.J38c start: continuing on branch fix-flood-1013-270, originally based on origin/dev at
105b1a28d3. The current dev head isf4b61cd6c3. I found the byte-bounded coalescing implementation and regression edits left uncommitted; I am preserving them as a WIP commit and pushing before continuing. Next: rebase, verify the red/green queue and Chromium cases, measure bounded memory and flood behavior, run the fast gate, then report findings.J38c crash-safety checkpoint: committed and pushed WIP
6a7d42daaon fix-flood-1013-270. It includes the byte-bounded contiguous-output queue, queue regressions, and real Chromium flood spec. D268 requires maintaining server-side flow control while protecting interactive latency; this patch bounds bytes and coalesces contiguous frames. Next: rebase ontof4b61cd6c3, then validate on compute01 and measure on perf-01.J38c progress: rebased onto the requested origin/dev
f4b61cd6c3and force-with-lease pushed the updated branch; current head is0b3f9b17d. Compute01 is reachable with 220 GB free, and two other Cargo processes were active at the last check, so heavy builds and tests will queue through build-slot. The earlier J38b Chromium attempts never reached the product assertion; I am rerunning the RED case with a short fixture state root.Finding (Rust RED on exact dev base): on compute01, tests-only commit 23a0eec5b (origin/dev
f4b61cd6c3plus the regression commit) failed a_stalled_viewer_can_hold_one_full_credit_window_without_being_retired. The assertion at embedded_regressions.rs:1101 reports that a busy viewer was retired after the event queue filled despite remaining byte credit; result 0 passed, 1 failed. The fresh test build finished after 7m20s through build-slot. Next I am checking the close-reservation regression and the production Chromium RED.J38c progress: pushed WIP
e29cebe43with a stronger stalled-viewer regression. It fills a receiver that remains open, requires only that attachment to be removed, requires its typed 1013 notice, and then checks healthy-stream progress. The exact-dev Rust RED is recorded above. The remaining Rust RED and production-Chromium RED are both waiting in compute01 build-slot (last queue positions 5 and 7; logs under /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38c/{rust-red-more.log,browser-red.log}); all four slots were occupied. I am continuing source review and prep while they wait.J38c progress: pushed WIP
001eb32bewith an ignored memory probe for 50 stalled attachments at the full 8 MiB credit window each. That workload retains 400 MiB of payload by design; the probe also asserts each queue's byte/event bounds and will report measured RSS delta per attachment on the perf VM. The prior 128 × 1 MiB probe assumed one event per 4 KiB frame, which is no longer valid after coalescing. RED follow-ups remain queued in compute01 build-slot; source and logs are preserved under the J38c scratch path.J38c progress: pushed WIP
38828cc38with a FIFO regression that places a terminal notice between two output frames. The final Rust suite will verify both contiguous byte offsets and that coalescing does not move output across the notice. The 50 × 8 MiB RSS probe is also staged on the branch but remains unmeasured. Current compute01 RED jobs are still queued; no extra slot or host was used.Finding (source review): the custom output sender is intentionally nonblocking, so the strengthened stalled-reader test could not use the old mpsc send().await API. I changed it to try_send, which is the production admission path, and pushed WIP
2ba5dc0e6. A final compile will verify the queue abstraction and all tests together.J38c finding (dev-base RED and perf baseline):

With the healthy browser link capped at 4 MiB/s, run 1 reached its marker after 98.39 s and received 86,264,163 output bytes. Run 2 reached its marker after an automatic socket replacement in 2.708 s, after only 2,047,849 bytes; it recorded a control-stream 1001 (the server stopped receiving connection replies) and a raw-output offset regression on stream 1 (expected 102240310,received 102207542). The spec failed on the sequence-gap assertion; it did not observe a stream 1013 in these two runs, so this run does not independently confirm the 1013 close code. That distinction is separate from the Rust RED proving the full event queue drops the typed retirement close.Remote log:

2ba5dc0e60): the green focused Rust run failed before executing tests with 19 compile errors. The output-channel replacement left callers on the old Tokio receiver API: websocket.rs could not call the private OutputQueueReceiver::recv; the auth credit helper returned mpsc::Receiver; and regression/path/liveness fixtures supplied mpsc senders or receiver function pointers. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38c/rust-green.log. I have updated those fixtures and made the queue receiver usable by the crate WebSocket consumer; rerunning the focused cases now.J38c verification is waiting on the required compute01 build-slot. The VM is reachable with 113 GiB free; all four slots are locked by other jobs, and four live tickets remain ahead of the focused Rust run (about 19 minutes queued at this check). I have not bypassed the shared slot limit. The branch is checkpointed through
563a9882f; Rust, 50-viewer memory, production Chromium, and fast-gate stages remain queued in order.J38c queue update: the focused Rust run has now waited about 31 minutes and remains ticket 4 behind the four live slot locks. Compute01 still has disk headroom and is reachable; no J38c build has started. WIP remains pushed at
563a9882f, with the memory, Chromium and fast-gate stages queued behind Rust.Build-slot disk update: compute01 now reports 24,327,016,448 bytes available (23 GiB by df -BG), below its configured 25 GiB admission threshold. Four slot locks are still held and J38c remains ticket 4; all J38c commands continue to wait through build-slot. I am preserving the job target for the queued test rather than deleting it before the required gates.
Compute01 pressure update: available disk has fallen to 11,583,217,664 bytes (about 10.8 GiB, below the 25 GiB build-slot minimum); all four locks remain held and J38c is still ticket 4. The focused Rust run cannot be admitted while either condition holds. I am preserving other jobs and targets and will resume the queued gates when the slot and disk checks clear.
J38c focused Rust run is green on tree
563a9882f6(compute01 through build-slot). All five cases passed: typed retirement notice survives a full notice queue; credited bulk output survives a forwarder pause; a stalled receiver holds the complete 8 MiB credit window without retirement; a genuinely full one-slot queue still retires its viewer with 1013 while the shared actor remains responsive; and coalescing preserves output/event/output order. Log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38c/rust-green.log.J38c 50-viewer memory probe passed on compute01 through build-slot. It filled 50 independent queues to the full 8 MiB output-credit limit (419,430,400 queued payload bytes).

J38c is now first in the compute01 build-slot queue, but current available space is 22,363,713,536 bytes, below the 25 GiB admission minimum. The build-slot correctly remains waiting for disk and a free slot; no J38c command is running outside the queue. Browser and fast-gate stages remain staged behind the focused Rust and memory results.
Compute01 disk is now 11,904,225,280 bytes free (about 11.1 GiB). The slot locks have cleared and J38c is first in queue, but the configured 25 GiB minimum is not met, so the browser build remains queued. I am preserving the J38c target and waiting for shared-host cleanup.

Zellij over SSH timed out in its flood and reattach rows.The machine load at the local case start was 2.66, and the recorded steal was 669/31,484 jiffies; WAN and loss also record their load/steal in their receipts. These are shared-host comparison measurements, not a clean isolated microbenchmark. Next: replace only the infraternal binary in the checksum-verified extracted kit copy and repeat all three cases after the fix.
J38c test-filter correction: the focused sender command was admitted on compute01 at 13:22:35 and compiled, but its
--exactfilter selected zero tests (0 passed, 0 failed, 457 filtered out). The test is nested underembedded::regressions; I am not counting that run as coverage. The queuedscripts/verify fastworkspace test will execute it along with the five queue/order regressions on the final branch head.J38d start: own worktree /home/kayg/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-j38d, branch

Plan: rebase and inspect carried queue fix/regressions; check latest J38c VM jobs/evidence before launching anything; run the queue and production-browser regressions on dev-02 through build-slot, then measure local/WAN/loss flood latency and byte continuity with perf-run; run the final scripts/verify fast on compute01 through build-slot, push only this branch, and remove the target dirs. Estimate: about 4 hours of active run/build time, with shared-slot queue waits tracked separately; if total effort reaches 8 hours I will stop and report before expanding scope.J38d finding: the previous J38c run state is not reusable as a completed verification.
queue-api-green.logselected zero tests (0 passed, 457 filtered out);browser-after.loghas no exit file and its recorded PID is no longer running.verify-fast.exitis 1; its log shows the legacy x86 static-size row at 21,448,080 bytes against 21,443,824 (+4,256 bytes), then ends during another compile. This matches the brief's known old-cap gate behavior, but is not a clean final gate.

I will rerun the focused tests, browser regression and final gate from the J38d worktree.J38d progress: rebased the resumed fix onto current
origin/devand pushed branchfix-flood-1013-270-j38d. Commit560d7f133strengthens the production-browser flood regression: it requires the received protocol output to cover the generated fixture bytes and forbids snapshot recovery or browser socket replacement during each flood, so a restored final marker cannot hide missing raw PTY output. Next: run the carried Rust regressions and the production Chromium case on a VM via build-slot, then collect before/after flood latency evidence and the final compute01 gate.J38d build-host update: dev-02 currently has 17 GiB free, below build-slot's 25 GiB admission floor. The Rust server test remains queued as PID 3549581; no compile has started, and no build is running outside build-slot. I will keep working from the isolated J38d worktree and resume VM checks when enough disk becomes available.
J38d progress on
fix-flood-1013-270-j38dat560d7f133: the fullcargo test -p infraternal-server --librun has acquired dev-02 build-slot 3 and is still running; recent log lines show the socket control and input-credit cases in progress, with no exit file yet. dev-02 has 24 GiB free, below build-slot’s 25 GiB admission floor for the browser run. The exact-origin/devstatic baseline build remains queued second on compute01. Perf-run is waiting on the pending trusted-host-key request forinfraternal-perf-01-backup01; no unverified SSH key has been accepted.J38d verification-runner findings, with the carried queue fix unchanged:
cargo test --locked --jobs 3 -p infraternal-server --libinvocation exited 101 after 427 passed and 8 unrelated failures. All fiveembedded::regressionscases passed. The failures were fixture/feature setup: five tests requireCARGO_TARGET_DIR, and two Mesh refusal cases rely on workspace feature unification. This command omitted the environment thatscripts/verifyprovides, so I am not counting it as a gate; the finalscripts/verify fastwill use the canonical workspace setup.target/auth-tools/zig/zigmissing). It is relaunched withscripts/auth-toolchainand output under the J38d scratch target.nix developstarted from/home/claude, outside the repo flake. The detached launcher now changes to the J38d worktree before calling build-slot.No product source changes were made for these runner corrections. Current baseline and browser reruns remain detached and will be polled.
J38d browser runner update: the corrected dev-02 launch reached the transient Nix browser runtime setup and then exited 127 because the final helper path omitted the
j38d-prefix. The helper path is corrected and the detached production browser run is queued again through build-slot. The static server/tracer builds completed before that launcher error; no product source changed.J38d production-browser finding, run 1 on dev-02: the real server, production tracer and Chromium 149.0.7827.0 delivered 101,666,915 protocol output bytes in 116.178 s; the completion marker was visible, with zero snapshots, zero stream/socket closes, zero replacement sockets and zero sequence gaps. The browser test throttles its viewer to 4 MiB/s to exercise queue admission. This is functional delivery evidence, not the pinned perf-VM comparison; runs 2 and 3 are still running.
J38d finding (production Chromium on dev-02, branch head
560d7f1333): the three 100 MB floods delivered 101,666,915 bytes in 116.178 s and 116.585 s for runs 1 and 2, with zero snapshots, closes, socket replacements or sequence gaps. Run 3 reached its marker but delivered only 35,096,857 bytes in 42.468 s and included one Snapshot; it had no closes or sequence gaps. The strengthened browser assertion failed on run 3, so visible completion does not establish raw output continuity. Evidence/logs are in /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence/after/terminal-output-flood and browser-after.log on dev-02; local assertion context is /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence/after/error-context.md. Next I am tracing the Snapshot source and the server/agent flow-control path with the byte assertion intact.J38d code-path finding: the remaining Snapshot/byte undercount is consistent with the agent relay starvation recovery, not the server queue limit.
crates/infraternal-agent/src/relay.rsstarts a 250 ms deadline when output credit is exhausted or too small for the pending frame. Indaemon.rs, expiry clears that pending frame and drops the shim data link; after browser credit returns, the relay reconnects withReadFrom(output.cursor()). The shim retains 8 MiB and resumes PTY reads with no active cursor, so a fast flood can wrap the ring beforeReadFrom, forcing a repaint Snapshot. This path conflicts with lossless raw output for a live, credit-limited viewer. I am making the production-browser regression deterministically pause its main thread past the deadline before changing production code; then I will keep the stream attached under backpressure and preserve control liveness, followed by a green browser run and perf measurement. The original J38d estimate remains ~4 hours active, with slot waits separate.J38d RED finding (dev-02, test-only head
ac3722be2b): the production server/tracer and real PTY delivered the final marker in 1.613 s, but only 572,445 of 100,833,334 fixture bytes arrived. The trace contained one Snapshot at out_seq 101,667,023 after raw output ended at 572,549; sequence-gap list was empty, no stream 1013 was sent, and the browser socket closed once. This confirms that a marker or final screen can conceal lost raw output during the one-second renderer pause. The regression exited 1 at its byte-continuity assertion. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence/red/terminal-output-flood/run-1.json and /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence/red/playwright-real/terminal-output-flood-a-bu-bd01a-t-during-a-100-MB-PTY-flood/error-context.md.J38d test finding (dev-02,
rust-focused.log): the focused workspace run exited 101 afteragent_reviewreported 6 passed / 2 failed in 92.86 s. Both failures encoded the old 250 ms detach:reaped_shim_exit_survives_a_live_credit_pausewaited for an exit notice before credit could drain its final output, andrepeated_tiny_credit_pauses_preserve_shell_progresswaited for starvation to detach the shim link. The new relay intentionally keeps a live raw-output cursor pinned under backpressure. I am adapting these probes to require ordered raw output and to use explicit disconnect when testing Snapshot resume; the focused rerun will determine whether the implementation is sound.J38d checkpoint: commit
cd9d061a3515fdf14d2ecbbf7a1e4531ce75912bis pushed onfix-flood-1013-270-j38d, rebased onto currentorigin/dev65d986191. The agent relay now retains one pending shim frame while live viewer credit is exhausted, so the shim cursor applies PTY backpressure instead of detaching and allowing the ring to wrap; Pongs remain independent of that output pause. I updated the real-shim probes for explicit disconnect versus a live credit pause. Next: rerun Rust regressions and production Chromium on dev-02, then perf-run measurements and the final compute01 gate.Checkpoint correction: I amended the pushed fix to
e9c2b24522eb77b274f9ba0af88ab6ebccaaef9bafter static review found the rewritten Snapshot probe needed itsselectimport. The dev-02 job is still queued; its worktree now points at this exact head.J38d measurement blocker: normal SSH host-key verification for
infraternal-perf-01-backup01fails from code, dev-02, and compute01, and none of those hosts has a matching known_hosts entry. I have not accepted an unverified key.

Post-fix perf cases remain blocked on the pending trusted perf-host fingerprint/known_hosts entry.J38d Rust-suite finding on dev-02 at
e9c2b24522: the corrected launcher reached cargo compilation, then exited 101 before running tests. The compiler reports E0433 at crates/infraternal-agent/src/daemon_readiness_tests.rs:303 because the test module relied on the removed parent-level Instant import; the relay unit-test file also has one unused top-level Instant import. Product code did not fail to compile in the production browser build. I am moving the clock import to the test module, removing the unused import, then rerunning the Rust suite and final gate.J38d production-browser runner finding: the corrected launcher built the release server and tracer and passed TypeScript compilation, but stopped before Playwright. Its transient runtime helper had
set -uand appended an unsetLD_LIBRARY_PATH, exiting withLD_LIBRARY_PATH: unbound variable. Nixpkgs resolution also retried after two GitHub timeouts, then succeeded. I am using${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}for the optional prior path and rerunning the browser case on head76533b33bd; the already-built production binary and tracer bundle are unchanged.J38d browser retry preparation: the production aarch64 static server binary was copied from dev-02 target to /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/infraternal-e9c3 and its SHA-256 matched the build artifact (ef94b2d7fbc934391d56e5fb0f4e075f46808161fc217cbf10dfe77c66ad7acf). The production tracer bundle is already built. I removed only the now-unused J38d dev-02 target, freeing the VM above build-slot's 25 GiB floor; browser-green-4 now uses the verified binary and fixed optional library-path expansion. It is waiting in build-slot; log /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/browser-green-4.log.
J38d perf-host trust check: I retried with OpenSSH DNS SSHFP verification enabled and StrictHostKeyChecking=yes. It still fails with “No ED25519 host key is known” for infraternal-perf-01-backup01. No trusted host key is available from DNS or known_hosts, so I have not connected or accepted the presented key; post-fix perf-run remains blocked pending the trusted fingerprint/known_hosts entry.
J38d browser runner finding on dev-02: browser-green-4 reached Playwright but failed before the flood because its helper exported
INFRATERAL_BIN; the fixture readsINFRATERNAL_BIN, so it fell back to the absent x86_64 target binary. The dependency probe also pointed at a nonexistent headless-shell path. The retained static aarch64 binary is intact and hash-verified. I am correcting the environment spelling and using the installed Playwright executable at/home/claude/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium_headless_shell-1228/chrome-linux/headless_shell, then rerunning with build-slot.J38d production-browser RED on the fixed-source build (head
76533b33bd): run 1 reached its final marker in 9.865 s but delivered only 558,196 of 100,833,334 fixture bytes. It then received one Snapshot at out_seq 101,667,024 after raw output ended at 558,300; the browser socket closed once, with no 1013 Close frame or sequence-gap report. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence/green-e9c4/terminal-output-flood/run-1.json. This reproduces loss on the production binary built from the current fix, so I am tracing the remaining Snapshot/socket-close path before calling the fix complete.J38d resumed on
fix-flood-1013-270-j38dat76533b33bd172ab3995f0e1bf6ae52e114e59d3f, based onorigin/dev65d9861914e8cd4a734d533d64ed1f4ea5c34119. The last production-browser run is RED: a Snapshot/socket replacement followed only 558,196 of 100,833,334 fixture bytes.Plan: (1) capture the production bridge close reason with
REAL_EVENT_TIMES=1and trace the remaining shim/agent/server path; (2) add a failing regression for the exact loss path, then fix it without loosening credit bounds; (3) rerun the production-browser flood through build-slot and collect before/after latency plus byte-continuity measurements if the trusted perf VM key is available; (4) rebase iforigin/devadvances, run the finalscripts/verify faston compute01 via build-slot, push this branch, and delete target dirs. Remaining estimate: up to 3 hours active VM/build work, with shared build-slot waits tracked separately; I will stop and report before exceeding the original 4-hour active estimate.J38d diagnostic blocker: the
REAL_EVENT_TIMES=1production-browser rerun is detached on dev-02 through build-slot (browser-green-6, launcher PID 524123, build-slot PID 524124; log/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/browser-green-6.log). The VM's free disk has fallen below build-slot's 25 GiB floor (latest: 18 GiB), so Playwright has not started. I am keeping the diagnostic queued and have made no source edits while waiting for its close-reason evidence.J38d finding (production Chromium on dev-02, head
76533b33bd): the REAL_EVENT_TIMES=1 rerun delivered 524,643 / 100,833,334 fixture bytes before a browser-local WebSocket close 4000. After reconnect, one Snapshot at out_seq 101,667,145 followed raw output ending at 524,643; no 1013 frame or sequence gap was recorded. The bridge close trace reports browser b0 code 4000 ("connection unresponsive"), then b1 reconnect; this points to MuxConnection liveness retirement during the flood, not the server output-retirement path. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence/green-e9c5/terminal-output-flood/run-1.json and browser-green-6.log on dev-02. Next: reproduce that close in a focused liveness test, fix the scheduling/response accounting without widening deadlines, rerun the production browser continuity case and perf measurements if the perf host key is trusted, then finish the compute01 gate and cleanup. Remaining estimate: up to 3 hours active work; VM slot waits remain separate.J38d root-cause trace: the agent shim caps one Output frame at 1 MiB, while the server serializes terminal Output frames and proof replies through the same WebSocket writer mutex. At the browser regression's 4 MiB/s throttle, a maximum frame can occupy that writer for about 250 ms, matching the browser liveness floor; the added one-second main-thread pause makes the queueing observable. This explains why the resumed raw-output relay still saw browser-local close 4000 with no Pong response, then Snapshot recovery. I added a focused RED relay regression requiring a credited 1 MiB frame to yield in bounded chunks while retaining an exact contiguous cursor. Next I will run that test against the current code, then cap only the per-write quantum (keeping the 8 MiB credit and frame protocol limits) and rerun the real-browser continuity case.
Correction to the prior liveness hypothesis: the production shim's bulk PTY reads are 16 KiB, so the 1 MiB protocol ceiling is not evidence that this flood held the server writer for 250 ms. I withdraw that specific inference. I stopped the queued relay RED run before it began and removed its uncommitted test; no product code changed. The confirmed evidence remains browser-local 4000 plus the Snapshot byte discontinuity. Next diagnostic: add content-free sent-Ping, received-Pong, and largest-Output-frame counters to the existing failing production-browser regression, rerun through build-slot, and trace whichever direction stops progressing before fixing it.
J38d diagnostic finding (dev-02 production Chromium, current carried fix): run 1 delivered 393,346 / 100,833,334 fixture bytes before the same browser-local 4000 and Snapshot recovery. The wire counters show 5 client Ping frames, 4 matching server Pongs, 4 server Ping frames and 4 browser Pong replies; maximum raw Output frame was 16,384 bytes. This rules out the suspected oversized frame and shows the client closed with one probe unacknowledged, while the opposite proof direction remained active. I am adding probe event timestamps to establish whether that reply was dropped or merely arrived after the deadline before choosing the fix. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence/ping-diag/terminal-output-flood/run-1.json and browser-ping.log.
J38d queue update: the timestamped production-browser diagnostic is still waiting in dev-02 build-slot (about 12 minutes at the last check); dev-02 has 24 GiB free, below the 25 GiB admission floor, so Playwright has not started. The carried production fix is unchanged. I have staged a deterministic client-liveness regression for active inbound output and the D300 silent-route bound; it has not run yet. I will continue after the queued diagnostic completes.
J38d timestamped production-browser finding (dev-02, head
76533b33bd): run 1 delivered 669,825 / 100,833,334 fixture bytes in 3.732 s, then resumed with a Snapshot at out_seq 101,667,025 after raw output ended at 669,929. The per-socket trace shows the old socket's client Ping (nonce 2) has no matching Pong on socket 1; all four matched client-Ping replies are on replacement socket 2, so this is not a cross-socket match. The proxy logged the production server's upstream close at time 54257, while the browser processed/sent the recorded old-socket Ping/Pong at epoch 1793564255281 (modulo timestamp 55281), about 1.024 s later; the browser then closed socket 1 locally with 4000 at 1793564257880. That ordering points to server-side retirement during the test's deliberate 1 s main-thread pause; it does not prove the missing Pong was merely queued. The focused RED liveness test is still queued on compute01. I am checking this against D300 before changing liveness behavior.J38d D300 finding: the diagnostic’s one-second main-thread freeze exceeded the decided 501/751 ms foreground retirement bound. The timestamped run shows the server upstream closed while the page was blocked; it is not evidence that the server should extend the lease or count queued frames as a reply. I removed that synthetic freeze from the production flood regression, keeping the 100 MB real-PTY run and raw-byte, Snapshot, socket-close and sequence assertions. Existing liveness tests still enforce the silent-route bound; the carried queue/relay fix is unchanged.
J38d continuation start: continuing in the isolated worktree
/home/kayg/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-j38donfix-flood-1013-270-j38d, which carries J38c's pushedfix-flood-1013-270headb41b6dc47a9c55e1348ac86ef86e5add258b0052.

scripts/verify faston the emptier eligible build VM through build-slot, push only this branch, and remove targets. Estimate: up to 2.5 hours active work, with shared-slot and perf-lock waits excluded. If active work reaches 5 hours, I will stop and report before expanding scope.J38d D300 resolution: the timestamped diagnostic ran with a one-second browser main-thread freeze, exceeding the decided foreground unanswered-probe retirement window (501/751 ms). Its server close and subsequent Snapshot therefore do not establish a healthy-route liveness bug or justify extending the lease. I removed the synthetic freeze and its temporary ping instrumentation from the flood spec; the existing idle-route tests continue to cover the D300 bound. The regression still exercises three real 100 MB PTY floods and asserts raw output-byte count, contiguous sequence offsets, no Snapshot recovery, no socket replacement/close, and no 1013 retirement. The carried production queue/relay fix is unchanged. Next: commit this test correction, run the production browser flood on dev-02, then collect post-fix latency and finish the fast gate.

d09dfb71ee292cb5f5364827ca63d4e9784ced8a, no artificial freeze): the real PTY flood reached its final marker in 26.783 s but the browser recorded only 10,150,009 / 100,833,334 fixture bytes. It saw two Snapshot frames, eight socket opens/closes, six control-stream 1001 closes (the server stopped receiving connection replies), and no raw sequence gaps. This is still a real byte-loss failure under output flood; the visible marker came from Snapshot recovery. Evidence is/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/final/evidence-after/terminal-output-flood/run-1.jsonandbrowser.log. Next: trace the control Ping/Pong and WebSocket output scheduling on this no-freeze run, add a regression for the actual retirement path, then fix the cause without widening D300 or credit bounds.J38d diagnostic finding: the browser-side event trace on
b3bed115d9e4785c07faba226e183577d9ac4dearecorded all four server Ping frames followed immediately by matching browser Pong frames (same millisecond), yet the server later sent control 1001. This does not establish whether those replies reached the server reader. The trace also required CDP to copy and decode every output frame in Node, which can alter scheduling during a flood. I am moving byte/sequence/Snapshot accounting into the existing lean TLS/WebSocket fixture, which already parses each server frame before forwarding it, and will keep browser-level marker/socket checks. The production code and liveness bounds remain unchanged pending that result.J38d test-harness checkpoint: committed

fix-flood-1013-270-j38d: pushed diagnostic commit1bf802a8a6d686af258ec9dcac6a2b0ce08b1e05. It adds opt-in, content-free per-socket mux Ping/Pong metadata, aggregate Credit progress, and a filtered server trace that forwards onlyMUX_PONGacceptance lines (never general server output). The production-browser diagnostic is detached on dev-02 through build-slot (launcher PID 1107732; log/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/diag-browser.log), queued at position 3 when last checked. It will compile the aarch64 production server, type-check the tracer, and run the existing failing three-flood regression. Next: use the accepted-reply and Credit trace to choose the smallest liveness fix, rerun the regression, measure post-fix flood latency and byte counts, then rebase and run the requested final gate on compute01.J38d diagnostic update: dev-02 fell to 22 GiB free, below build-slot's 25 GiB floor. I canceled my queued static rebuild before it acquired a slot; it created no target. The production aarch64 binary at
/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/final/infraternalpassed its sidecar SHA-256 check (19,793,800 bytes) and contains the same carried product code. The replacement lean bridge trace uses that binary and remains queued inside build-slot for the 25 GiB floor; no build or browser process is running outside the slot. It records per-socket mux Ping/Pong metadata and aggregate Credit progress. The first pending diagnostic also showed the browser RED at 6,037,902 / 100,833,334 bytes with four Snapshot jumps and three server 1001 closes; the exact receipt is in the prior comment.J38d resume: working in the isolated worktree

J38d diagnostic blocker update: the lean-bridge production flood trace remains queued on dev-02 (launcher PID 1172315; log
/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/diag-bridge.log). The latest status shows 19 GiB free, below the 25 GiB build-slot floor; slots 1 and 2 are free, and no J38d browser or build has started. The run uses the checksum-verified 19,793,800-byte production binary, so it creates no Rust target. I am continuing source-path review while it waits; I will only use the acceptance-log hook if the wire trace cannot distinguish delayed browser replies from server-side rejection.J38d finding (dev-02, lean bridge trace using the SHA-verified production binary): run 1 reached the final marker in 4.42 s but the bridge counted only 5,834,582 / 100,833,334 raw fixture bytes. It recorded three Snapshot jumps, four browser sockets, three control-stream 1001 closes (
the server stopped receiving connection replies), and a raw-offset regression (expected 1,568,520, received 519,944). The browser returned 6,976,450 bytes of Credit across 131 frames, so the route was still carrying application progress while those closes occurred.The per-socket trace shows the first server Ping was answered on each replacement socket (2–179 ms), while a later Ping on sockets 1–3 had no matching browser Pong before closure; socket 4's next Pong arrived about 1.15 s after its Ping, after the close. Browser-to-server Ping/Pong exchanges stayed prompt on the sockets that remained open. This isolates the failure to downstream probe delivery/handling under output load, but the current binary predates the server-side Pong-acceptance trace, and the proxy timestamp is before delivery to the page. Next I am adding a test-only page-side Ping/Pong receipt trace, then I will fix the proven scheduling/backpressure path without changing D300 deadlines or the 8 MiB credit bound.

J38d finding (dev-02 production Chromium, diagnostic head
1bf802a8a6d686af258ec9dcac6a2b0ce08b1e05): the real PTY flood failed its raw-byte assertion at 4,347,638 / 100,833,334 bytes after 15.271 s. The bridge saw two Snapshot jumps, three control-stream 1001 closes (the server stopped receiving connection replies), three browser socket replacements, and a raw offset regression (expected 1,477,526, received 464,486). The final marker is therefore not proof of complete delivery.

46254at1793569162208, but the page-side WebSocket trace saw no inbound mux control frame on that socket before the server closed it at1793569162709with control 1001. During the same interval, the bridge received browser-originated Pings 2–9 and emitted their matching Pongs. This narrows the remaining failure to delivery/queueing of server-to-browser control behind active output, rather than a browser-to-server reader stall or an output sequence-gap trigger. I am measuring the bridge's downstream WebSocket buffered bytes at each probe and adding the server's accepted-Pong trace before choosing the fix; no production source has changed.J38d checkpoint: pushed diagnostic commit

The opt-in trace now captures page-side control-frame receipt and the proxy's downstream buffered byte count when each probe is observed. It changes no production behavior. Next: run this trace with the server's accepted-Pong diagnostic, then add the focused RED/fix and rerun the flood.Finding (dev-02, focused browser-lease regression, unchanged production): the new inbound-output test failed at 461.78 ms on output frame 2, expected welcomed but received false. Result: 66 pass, 1 fail; the existing silence cases still retire within D300. This confirms active inbound terminal data does not refresh the browser lease. No production code changed. Next: complete the server-side probe and credit trace on the real production flood before selecting the bounded fix.

The lean bridge recorded 136 positive Credit frames totaling 5,699,547 bytes during the run. The browser was consuming output, but the server-side liveness lease only renewed on correlated Pong, so output backlog could retire a progressing route.

d1ec515e44at headca0eadc851, pushed with force-with-lease only to fix-flood-1013-270-j38d. The rebased diff is unchanged (28 files; git diff --check clean). I am syncing dev-02 and will run the focused tests and three production-browser floods there after checking both build-slot queues.Runner finding: the detached rebased validation is first in the dev-02 build-slot queue, but it has not started. dev-02 now has 21 GiB free, below the 25 GiB admission floor; compute01 has 182 GiB free but all four slots are busy with three jobs queued ahead. Both statuses were checked. The launcher remains queued through build-slot; I am waiting for a slot and disk headroom and will not bypass the shared runner or alter other jobs files.
Runner capacity update: dev-02 has fallen to 12 GiB free, below its 25 GiB admission floor, so the queued validation cannot start there. I am moving the complete post-rebase focused/browser run to compute01, which has 181 GiB free; its shared slots are currently full, so I will use build-slot there after refreshing the J38d VM worktree and adapting to x86_64.
Runner reroute update: the dev-02 launch was canceled before any tests/build ran; its log says Terminated and no J38d process remains. The old 5.9 GiB target was removed, and after other jobs released disk dev-02 now has 38 GiB free. I am restarting the production-browser validation on dev-02, the less-loaded host, with a fresh target; compute01 remains reserved for the final fast gate.

The validated Credit path currently awaits boundedAttachmentHandle::send_framebefore renewing the browser lease. I am adding a focused regression that parks this backend forwarding and verifies the lease sees valid browser progress first. Then I will make the smallest fix, rerun the focused and three production-browser cases, and run the requested compute01 fast gate. Estimate: about 90 minutes active work, excluding build-slot waits.

The assertion observed bounded backend forwarding begin before the valid Credit progress callback. This isolates the handler ordering from the intermittent flood:AttachmentHandle::send_framecan wait on its bounded actor input queue, whileaccepted_creditcurrently runs after that wait. I am moving the callback before forwarding; the 8 MiB credit check and zero-credit behavior stay unchanged.J38d runner status: the focused green regression is waiting in dev-02 build-slot and has not started. Both free dev-02 slots are currently gated by disk headroom: 15 GiB free against the 25 GiB floor. compute01 has 123 GiB free but all four slots are occupied. I have kept the existing 5.2 GiB J38d target and have not removed another job's artifacts or bypassed build-slot. I will move to compute01 if a slot opens; otherwise the dev-02 queue resumes automatically when its disk floor is met.

Thevt_credittest failed atscripts/verify-vt-credit.py:86because its shim-sideCreditObservation.repaintscount changed while browser credit was insufficient. The test already rejects any downstream Close/Snapshot frame during the pause; it incorrectly required that the shim never supply the repaint that the relay is holding. I am updating the assertion to allow at most one upstream pending repaint while preserving the no-client-frame, no-cursor-advance, and no-detach checks; production credit handling stays unchanged.The second
vt_creditrun got past the pending-repaint assertion and then timed out waiting for the emitter'sdonemarker. It had restored only 1 MiB of output credit for a 2 MiB+tail producer; the live relay correctly applied PTY backpressure instead of dropping or repainting those raw bytes. I am updating the probe to return enough additional credit before waiting for producer completion, then it will assert the complete raw payload and tail marker. No credit ceiling or production behavior changes.vt_creditprobe correction validated at head8bd103edf70073a426c423e5d55c1eef197d5823: on compute01 through build-slot,cargo test --locked -p infraternal --test vt_credit -- --nocapturepassed (1 passed, 0 failed; 20.55 s).

fix-flood-1013-270-j38dis pushed at8bd103edf70073a426c423e5d55c1eef197d5823, rebased on currentorigin/dev9f36dd8e0a5e9e799cd3264cb6e1e7605071c5e2. Worktree is clean; J38d target directories have been removed from compute01 and dev-02.Root cause: valid positive browser Credit was renewing the server-side liveness lease only after bounded forwarding to the infraternal agent. That forwarding can wait on the attachment queue while the browser continues sending Credit, allowing an active viewer to expire. The fix renews the lease after Credit passes its existing byte bound and before forwarding waits; nonempty terminal Output also counts as browser-side progress. D300 and the 8 MiB credit limit are unchanged. The new regression
valid_credit_registers_progress_before_backend_forwarding_waitsfailed before the ordering change and passed after it, including in the final gate.Production Chromium flood evidence (100,833,334-byte fixture, dev-02): before the fix, run 1 completed in 117.344 s with 101,666,935 raw Output bytes; run 2 recovered after 24.914 s with 10,312,517 bytes, one Snapshot jump and one control 1001. After the fix, runs completed in 119.043 / 118.275 / 120.172 s (mean 119.163 s), each with 101,666,920 raw Output bytes, the marker visible, zero Snapshots, closes, socket replacements, socket closes or sequence gaps. The raw count includes PTY newline expansion; the continuous offsets and absence of Snapshot recovery show no output bytes were lost. These are real-browser end-to-end functional timings, not isolated perf-harness measurements. The perf VM's trusted SSH host key was unavailable, so no
perf-runresult is claimed.Receipts and production screenshots:

The check only verifiesattachment.credit + bytes <= MAX_CREDIT; the attachment starts with zero credit (websocket.rs:2228). Every positive grant passing this check callstransport.accepted_credit(), even before the backend has emitted any Output/Snapshot. Thus repeated one-byte grants can clear unanswered probes and renew the lease using the unused 8 MiB allowance. These frames are valid flow-control permissions, but do not establish the output consumption required by this task. The same grant can be repeated millions of times without a byte of terminal output. Keep the renewal before bounded forwarding, but distinguish initial/additional permission from returned credit backed by delivered output; only the latter should establish consumption progress.Evidence: added
auth::tests::socket_tests::review_input_credit::j86_unearned_credit_must_not_keep_an_unresponsive_browser_alive. A real authenticated WebSocket attaches to a backend that emits no Output/Snapshot, observes a server probe, never answers another probe, and sends 30 grants of one byte at 200 ms virtual-time intervals. After six virtual seconds the socket still returns the final control Pong. This violates check (1), independently of wall-clock scheduling. The focused test failed twice with the same assertion, including the final formatted regression.Confirmation command on compute01 through build-slot/nice/Nix:
Verbatim final result:
No other findings in the requested checks: malformed/zero/over-window credit cannot invoke renewal; D300 constants, the 8 MiB window and bounded queue limits remain intact; the ordering regression checks the callback before the forwarding future is polled, and the recorded RED matches that reversed ordering. Lease expiry and renewal serialize through the same mutex;
retired()prevents late renewal, and transport teardown's terminal state cannot be cleared by credit.Review regression committed locally as

Estimate: 90 minutes active work, excluding shared build-slot waiting. The existing three-run browser check is active on compute01. I will report before exceeding 3 hours active.
Finding (compute01, rebased production-browser retry at source head 49aeb0970bb72adaa1ade2be77415caf3ec613c5): Playwright reached the 600 s test timeout before entering the flood loop. Its content-free page snapshot showed the terminal setup refusal "This terminal request is not valid. Try opening a new window." The fixture had been generated, but no run-1 receipt was written, so this attempt produced no flood byte or latency measurement. The runner exited and its orphan fixture server was stopped by PID. Earlier post-fix runs remain recorded separately with three lossless 100,833,334-byte fixtures. Next: regenerate the production tracer bundle and retry the three-run spec.
J86 regression status at source head 49aeb0970bb72adaa1ade2be77415caf3ec613c5: the test from commit c12d2e978 is present in the branch. Its earlier RED on the reviewed baseline
8bd103edf7is recorded above. The focused test now passes on compute01 through build-slot: 1 passed, 0 failed, 0 ignored, 473 filtered out, finished in 0.74s. The code renews credit liveness only when the grant overlaps sent, unacknowledged payload; matching probe replies retain their existing renewal path. The rebased browser retry timed out before flood setup as recorded above; the prior three lossless flood receipts remain available while I rebuild the production tracer bundle for a fresh run.Final gate finding (compute01, commit
2ec80a56c5): every Rust gate row passed except clippy. The five diagnostics are confined to J86's regression test in review_input_credit.rs: two unnested or-patterns, the 104-line test body, one collapsible if, and identical Ping/wildcard match arms. Production code has no new clippy diagnostic. I will factor the test's probe and credit steps into small helpers, amend the same atomic commit, then rerun the focused regression and full gate.J38d/J86 complete. Branch

c12d2e978is included. It failed on the unchanged reviewed head8bd103edf70073a426c423e5d55c1eef197d5823after 30 unspent one-byte grants, with no backend Output/Snapshot and no probe reply. On the final head it passes. Credit still replenishes the existing bounded window, but renews browser liveness only for credit that advances the acknowledged cursor over bytes actually sent; a pending probe reply continues to renew through the existing Pong path. The focused test result on the final source was:cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warningspassed. The production-browser flood receipts on the J86 fix show three 100,833,334-byte fixtures completed in 154.962 / 155.045 / 108.295 s, receiving 101,667,167 / 101,666,931 / 101,666,931 raw Output bytes. All markers were visible, with zero Snapshots, closes, socket replacements, socket closes, or sequence gaps; continuous offsets show no lost bytes. These are end-to-end functional timings on compute01, not isolated perf-harness timings. Receipts and screenshots:/home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j38d/evidence-j86/terminal-output-flood/run-{1,2,3}.{json,png}.For the flood fix comparison on dev-02, the pre-fix production-browser run 1 completed in 117.344 s with 101,666,935 bytes; run 2 recovered after 24.914 s with 10,312,517 bytes and a Snapshot jump / control 1001. After the flood fix, three runs completed in 119.043 / 118.275 / 120.172 s with 101,666,920 bytes each, zero recovery events and continuous offsets. The later J86 three-run result above preserves that behavior.
