Summary

Models five Control-Hub-class realism improvements on top of the free-JVM benchmark suite so the scenario ladder tracks robot-shaped structure rather than plain volatile stores.

Changes

  1. Lynx bus model — one shared serialized link with per-transaction spin cost; device writes (SimMotor/SimServo) and sensor reads pay it, so a bulk read of multiple registers is cheaper than the same reads one-at-a-time. Mock-budget fixture keeps a no-bus SimMotor so micro.sim.deviceWrite still measures the bare mock (gate remains valid).

  2. DS link — gamepad updates reach the robot on a ~25 ms packet cadence (DriverStation); seeded dropouts defer (never discard) queued mutations. LatencyProbe stamps at flush so measured latency reflects flush to actuation while control loops see realistic input staleness.

  3. Sensor realism — SimSensors exposes liftPos() / heading() that route through the bus with quantization, correlated noise keyed off the plant sim clock (identical across styles), and time-bucketed dropouts that return the last good sample. All 23 style call sites now read through world.sensors() instead of world.plant().liftPos / .heading directly.

  4. Realistic telemetry — SimTelemetry replaces NoopTelemetry: batched, size-capped string formatting + serialization so the message path allocates like a real DS packet.

  5. Tail metrics + GC pressure — Hist reports p99.9, TaskMeter reports deadlineMissPct (period above 1.5 times target), Metrics samples GarbageCollectorMXBeans count and ms per window, and Report adds columns for all three. Slow-path log formatting combined with -Xms256m / -Xmx256m / -Xmn16m fork-JVM flags makes young collections visible in the actuation tail.

Verification

  • ./gradlew :benchmarks:verifyFrameworkClasses and ./gradlew :benchmarks:verifyMockBudget both pass with the new model (mock-budget ratio stays below 5 percent).
  • Quick run completes cleanly and the markdown report includes the new p99.9, max task miss %, and GC ms columns.
  • Structure gate still passes — LynxBus lives only in shared/.
  • Compare is tolerant of the new optional keys so a fresh baseline can be cut without spurious "missing" failures.

Non-changes

  • No changes to the main project, build wiring beyond the benchmarks/run JVM args, or any framework dispatch implementation.
  • Compare keeps its existing key set; it only treats p999 as an optional comparison when present in the baseline.

S3 sample after the change (quick mode)

S3_HeavyRobot  raw          actuation p99.9 33.4 ms   miss 100.0%   GC 0 ms
S3_HeavyRobot  solverslib   actuation p99.9 30.8 ms   miss 100.0%   GC 1 ms
S3_HeavyRobot  synapse      actuation p99.9 29.9 ms   miss   0.17%  GC 0 ms
S3_HeavyRobot  rawmt        actuation p99.9 20.8 ms   miss   0.0%   GC 0 ms

The deadline-miss column exposes the starvation raw / solverslib take from the 15 ms slow-logger being on the loop thread, while both Synapse and the rawmultithreaded variant keep the logger off the control path.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The benchmark simulation adds bus transactions, sensor effects, driver-station packet handling, and telemetry batching. Scenario runners use sensor readings. The harness adds latency, deadline, and garbage-collection metrics to its aggregation and reports.

Changes

Benchmark Simulation and Measurement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Simulated devices and inputs
benchmarks/src/main/java/.../shared/*
The shared world adds a serialized bus, seeded sensors, a packet-based driver station, and batched telemetry. Simulated motor and servo writes can incur bus costs, and stimulus updates pass through the driver station. The slow logger formats eight log-line variants using a reused StringBuilder.
Sensor-based scenario runners
benchmarks/src/main/java/.../raw/*, benchmarks/src/main/java/.../rawmt/*, benchmarks/src/main/java/.../solverslib/*, benchmarks/src/main/java/.../synapse/*
The scenario runners use sensor readings for control and telemetry. Synapse telemetry adds servo or heading values. SolversLib S2 negates the turn input and alignment offset.
Measurement and benchmark reporting
benchmarks/src/main/java/.../shared/*, benchmarks/src/main/java/.../harness/*, benchmarks/README.md, benchmarks/build.gradle
The harness collects and aggregates p99.9 latency and jitter, deadline-miss percentages, and GC count and time. Reports and comparisons include the new metrics, and microbenchmarks measure bus writes, reads, and two-register bulk reads. The README updates the mock-budget description, and the run tasks use a smaller heap configuration.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6b640

Update the benchmark methodology before relying on its latency explanations. The committed historical baseline may flag changed results, but no current run establishes a comparison failure.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6b640

The new simulation changes how benchmark input and device state are shared. No production security boundary expansion was found, but restarting or closing the new input worker can leave competing or stale benchmark state.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Repeated starts can create competing workers over the same input queue, and posts or queued mutations can survive close into a later run. No repeated-start caller was established, so this is a conditional benchmark state-ownership concern.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Observed effects are confined to benchmark-owned gamepad and simulated device state; repository evidence does not establish an attacker-controlled production entrypoint for the new worker.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The checked production adapter accepts a generic gamepad object; the benchmark smoke path supplies World.gamepad1(), not the new bus, sensors, or DriverStation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Unrestricted restart and post-after-close behavior can compromise ownership of benchmark input state during interruption or reuse, without an identified production security consequence.

Inline comments:
In @.kilo/plans/1788803586700-website-and-skill-plan.md:
- Around line 278-280: Update the DriveNode constructor to call the Node
superclass constructor with orch and remove the invalid one-argument
registerNode call; register the constructed node from its owning OpMode using
the required name-and-node arguments. In onTarget, give the hardware.run lambda
a block body for the motor work.
- Line 198: Update the “gzip + brotli for text” requirement to use gzip only,
unless the plan also specifies installing a Brotli module in the Nginx runtime
image; keep the compression requirement consistent with the runtime
configuration.
- Line 165: Update the community-page “Contribute code” build plan so its `gh
api` fetch works with the `node:lts-alpine` Docker builder: provision GitHub CLI
before the build, pre-generate and copy the cached JSON, or ensure a missing
`gh` executable triggers the static-list fallback.
- Line 150: Update the SafetyPillars plan entry to match what the cited tests
actually assert: do not claim stable hardware-thread identity or copy-on-write
delivery semantics unless the tests verify them. Narrow those claims to the
existing assertions and cite the relevant tests, or specify the additional
identity and snapshot-delivery assertions needed to support the claims.

In `@benchmarks/results/baseline.json`:
- Around line 14-41: Refresh the benchmark baseline represented by
S0_MinimalDrive using results produced by the current bus and sensor model.
Ensure the updated scenarios include the current latency and task-rate
measurements and the p999, jitterP999Ns, deadlineMissPct, gcCount, and gcMillis
fields emitted by Report.Pair.

In `@benchmarks/src/main/java/com/aaravlabs/synapse/bench/harness/Main.java`:
- Around line 238-239: In Main, call world.plant().freezeTracking() immediately
after metrics.endWindow() and before runner.stop(). This stops lift and heading
RMSE tracking at the measurement-window boundary, excluding samples collected
during runner shutdown.

In
`@benchmarks/src/main/java/com/aaravlabs/synapse/bench/harness/MicroBench.java`:
- Around line 404-409: Update the SimDeviceHolder fixture to construct SimMotor
with a LynxBus, matching the bus-backed writes used by World on the measured
path. Keep the gate measuring SimMotor.setPower with the bus enabled so it
includes the modeled write cost and contention.

In
`@benchmarks/src/main/java/com/aaravlabs/synapse/bench/solverslib/SolversS2.java`:
- Line 165: Update the SolversS2 drive call to negate the turn input from
getLeftX() and alignOffset, preserving the existing forward and strafe arguments
so its drive law matches RawS2.

In `@benchmarks/src/main/java/com/aaravlabs/synapse/bench/synapse/SynapseS3.java`:
- Around line 240-246: Update publishTelemetry in SynapseS3, SynapseS1, and
SynapseS2 to perform the same telemetry batch work as RawS3: read liftPos and
heading, publish the lift value through the existing orchestrator path, add both
values to world.telemetry(), then call update().

Align SafetyPillars with the test assertions.

HardwareThreadTest.allHardwareWorkRunsOnASingleThread() does not prove one stable hardware thread. Its synchronized FakeHardware.transaction() only checks paired events. ThreadingTest.slowCallback_doesNotBlockPeriodicLoop() supports two-pool isolation. SoakTest.publishDuringSubscribeIsSafe() checks completion during concurrent subscription changes, but not lost or duplicate deliveries. HardwareActionsTest.assertNotHardwareThread_throwsOnHardwareThread() supports the fail-fast claim.

Cite these tests and narrow each claim to its assertions, or add assertions that record one hardware-thread identity and validate snapshot delivery semantics.

Suggested plan wording
-4. **SafetyPillars** — the four properties the tests prove: (a) single hardware thread, (b) two-pool isolation, (c) copy-on-write subscribe snapshots, (d) `assertNotHardwareThread` fail-fast.

🌐 Web query:

official node docker image node:lts-alpine installed tools GitHub CLI gh Alpine image minimal

💡 Result:

`node:lts-alpine` is the official Node.js image, but it’s intentionally lean: it includes Node.js and npm, **not** Git or Bash—and not GitHub CLI (`gh`). Alpine uses musl rather than glibc, which can also matter for native dependencies. [1]

To add `gh`, install Alpine’s community package:

```dockerfile
FROM node:lts-alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache github-cli
```

Alpine’s `github-cli` package is community-maintained, not maintained by GitHub CLI’s team. [2]

Provision gh for the Docker builder.

The community page requires gh api during the build. The Docker plan uses node:lts-alpine and runs only npm ci && npm run build. This image does not include GitHub CLI. If the fetch runs from npm run build, the command can fail before the static fallback handles the result.

Install gh in the builder, pre-generate and copy the JSON, or explicitly handle a missing executable in the fallback.

Add Brotli support to the Nginx runtime or remove the requirement.

The runtime stage uses nginx:alpine at Line 192, but the plan requires Brotli and does not specify installing its module. If nginx.conf enables Brotli without that module, Nginx rejects the configuration and the container does not start. Add the module to the runtime image or use gzip only. The official NGINX Docker guide treats Brotli as a separate module that must be added to an extended image. (github.com)

Make the node template compile against the repository API.

Node requires super(orch), and Orchestrator.registerNode requires a name and a node. This constructor omits the superclass call and invokes a nonexistent one-argument overload. The hardware.run lambda also has no body. Add the superclass call, register the constructed node with a name, and use a block lambda for the hardware work. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Proposed correction
 public class DriveNode extends Node {
     private final HardwareActions hardware;
     public DriveNode(Orchestrator orch, SafeHardwareMap map) {
+        super(orch);
         this.hardware = orch.hardware();
-        orch.registerNode(this);
     }

     `@SubscribedTo`(topic = "drive/target")
     void onTarget(TargetPose t) {

+        hardware.run(() -> {
+            // motor writes
+        });
     }
 }

Register the instance from its owning OpMode with orch.registerNode("drive", node).

Regenerate baseline.json with the current bus and sensor model.

This baseline was recorded before the realism models in this PR were added:

  • S0 raw reports loopHz 11,355,690. In the current code, RawS0.loop() calls SimMotor.setPower every iteration. Each call spins LynxBus.WRITE_NANOS = 3 µs under the bus lock, so the loop cannot exceed about 333 kHz.
  • The file has no p999, jitterP999Ns, deadlineMissPct, gcCount, or gcMillis. Report.Pair.toMap and Report.Pair.fromSnapshot now emit all of these fields.

Consequences:

  • compare results/baseline.json results/latest.json will report REGRESSION for loopHz, achievedHz, and latency in S0–S3, for every style whose loop writes devices. It will return EXIT_REGRESSION on every unmodified run.
  • The new p999 and deadline-miss data is never compared, because the baseline has no values for them.
  • This breaks the documented agent workflow (change → run → compare → keep/iterate).

Freeze tracking before runner.stop(), not after it.

metrics.endWindow() closes the measurement window. SimPlant keeps scoring lift and heading RMSE until freezeTracking() runs. That call comes after runner.stop(), which can block for these durations:

  • up to 1–2 s in join(...) for raw, rawmt, and solverslib;
  • for as long as orchestrator.close() takes for synapse.

During that time the controllers are shutting down or already stopped. The motors hold their last power, while gravity (LIFT_GRAVITY) and the 7–55 Hz disturbances act on the plant. The uncontrolled samples go into liftSse/headingSse. Stop latency differs by style (for example, the raw S3 loop can be inside the 15 ms slowLog), so the RMSE metric picks up style-dependent contamination from outside the window. printLadder and compare both rank styles on this metric.

🐛 Proposed fix
         metrics.endWindow();

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make the mock-budget gate match the device write on the measured path.

SimDeviceHolder builds SimMotor with no LynxBus, so micro.sim.deviceWrite measures only the volatile store (≈98 ns). World gives every measured motor and servo the shared bus. On the measured path, SimMotor.setPower therefore spins at least LynxBus.WRITE_NANOS (3 µs) under the shared lock, plus any contention. That is about 60% of the smallest dispatch reference (micro.hardware.run ≈ 4.7 µs), not the reported ~2%.

Two contracts depend on this:

  • benchmarks/README.md gate 2 says the gate measures SimMotor.setPower "as used on the measured path".
  • The plan requires that mock cost cannot dominate or mask framework overhead.

The gate still passes, but it no longer bounds the cost the style code pays. For example, S0 raw actuation latency is now mostly bus time.

Choose one fix and apply it consistently:

  • Give the fixture a LynxBus, so the gate measures the real write. The gate will then fail, which shows that the bus costs must shrink.
  • Keep the bare-write fixture, add a separate micro.sim.busWrite result, and update the README gate-2 text and the "≈ 1 %" figure. The update must state that bus cost is modeled hardware and is excluded from the budget.

Fix the sign of the turn and align terms in SolversS2 to match RawS2.

GamepadEx.getLeftY() negates the raw field, and the code negates getRightY() explicitly. The SolversS2 drive law is therefore the sign mirror of the RawS2 law (y + turn + alignOffset). getLeftX() is not negated, and alignOffset is added with the raw sign. As a result, the turn and align terms have the opposite direction relative to forward motion:

  • RawS2 left power: raw_y + x + align, which is -(F) + x + align.
  • SolversS2 left power: F + x + align. The mirror of raw is F - x - align.

This has two consequences:

  • The plant motion differs from raw, rawmt, and synapse for the same stimulus.
  • LatencyProbe pairing uses power * sign >= 0.2. The set of stick steps that can pair is therefore different for SolversLib. Up to 0.3 of leftX works against the pairing in different steps, so S2 latency samples come from a different event subset.

README Fairness rule 1 says styles normalize to forward-positive so matched sticks drive matched wheels. This line breaks that rule.

🐛 Proposed fix
-            drive.drive(gamepad1Ex.getLeftY(), -gamepad1Ex.getRightY(), gamepad1Ex.getLeftX(), alignOffset);
+            // Mirror of RawS2 (whole drive law negated): negate turn and align too.
+            drive.drive(gamepad1Ex.getLeftY(), -gamepad1Ex.getRightY(), -gamepad1Ex.getLeftX(), -alignOffset);

Make the Synapse telemetry task do the same batch work as raw.

SimTelemetry exists so that caption/value formatting allocates on the message path and GC pauses land in the actuation tail. RawS3 does this work in the telemetry task: two SimSensors bus reads (liftPos() and heading()), then two addData calls, then update(). SynapseS3.publishTelemetry does one sensor read and one publish, then calls world.telemetry().update() on an empty batch. The Synapse style therefore skips the string allocation and one Lynx bus transaction that the other styles pay. This violates the "identical work" fairness rule. SynapseS1 and SynapseS2 (publishTelemetry) have the same gap.

…pouts

Wires five realism improvements into the benchmark suite so the scenario
ladder tracks Control-Hub-class structure rather than a free JVM sim:

1. Lynx bus model (LynxBus): one shared serialized link with per-transaction
   spin cost; device writes (SimMotor/SimServo) and sensor reads (SimSensors)
   pay it. Bulk read of multiple registers is cheaper than the same reads
   one-at-a-time. Mock-budget fixture keeps a no-bus SimMotor so the
   micro.sim.deviceWrite gate still measures the bare mock.

2. DS link (DriverStation, StimulusTimeline): gamepad updates reach the robot
   on a 25 ms packet cadence; seeded dropouts defer (never discard) queued
   mutations. Latency probe stamps at flush so the measured latency reflects
   flush->actuation while the loop sees realistic input staleness.

3. Sensor realism (SimSensors, World, style call sites): lift and heading
   reads route through the bus with quantization, correlated noise keyed off
   the plant sim clock so every style sees the identical sensor process, and
   time-bucketed dropouts that return the last good sample.

4. Realistic telemetry (SimTelemetry replaces NoopTelemetry): batched
   size-capped string formatting + serialization so the message path
   allocates like a real DS packet.

5. Tail metrics + GC pressure (Hist p99.9, TaskMeter deadlineMissPct,
   Metrics GC count/ms, JVM flags -Xms256m/-Xmx256m/-Xmn16m, slow-logger
   string formatting): actuation p99.9 and deadline-miss percentage are
   reported; slow-path string formatting under a small young gen makes young
   collections show up in the actuation tail.
- Main.runPair: freeze RMSE tracking before runner.stop() so style-dependent
  shutdown contamination cannot enter the scored window.
- MicroBench: surface the modeled Lynx bus cost transparently as
  micro.sim.busWrite / micro.sim.busRead / micro.sim.busBulkRead2 in the micro
  table; mock-device-write gate continues to measure the bare mock bookkeeping
  only (the gate's purpose is preventing mock noise from masking framework
  overhead; the bus is modeled hardware on the scenario path, not mock overhead).
- SolversS2: drive() now negates getLeftX() and alignOffset so the full drive
  law is the sign-mirror of RawS2, preserving the forward-positive fairness
  rule across all four styles.
- SynapseS1/S2/S3 publishTelemetry: now performs the same batch work as
  RawS3/RawMtS3 (sensor reads + addData for the visible values + update), so
  the message-path allocation + bus transaction cost is consistent across
  styles.
- Report Known confounds: note the modeled bus/DS/GC structure.
- README gate-2 text: clarify that the gate measures mock bookkeeping only and
  points to the new micro.sim.bus* entries for the modeled hardware cost.

54-61: 🚀 Performance & Scalability

The benchmark contract makes this concern relevant. The small-heap profile is intended to expose message-path allocation, and --alloc measures allocated bytes. However, the committed baseline is not a deciding measurement for this change: it uses a different commit and reports allocBytesPerSec: 0, which the metric implementation also returns when allocation measurement is disabled. No post-warmup allocation result exists for the reviewed slowLog path, so the concern remains undecidable.

Comment thread benchmarks/README.md
CodeRabbit review: the Metrics section still described latency stamping as
the stimulus thread's job, and fairness rule 3 still described device writes
as volatile stores. The code now stamps inside DriverStation.flush, pays
LynxBus cost on every device write + sensor read, and QuantizeNoiseDropout
is the sensor layer. Update the methodology, the latency/tasks row, and
fairness rule 3 so the README matches the implemented model.
