pingqiu 9b6e103dde G5-5C mini-plan v0.4.3 → v0.4.4: engine/runtime/master split + 6 boundary rules in scope, 3 forward-carry, audit gate
Architect framing 2026-04-27: enumerate ten protocol boundary rules
and address engine-evolution question.

Engine vs primary runtime vs master split:
- Engine owns: recovery FSM, single in-flight per peer,
  generation/epoch fence, probe→decision, backoff/cooldown policy,
  stale-ack-cannot-promote-health rule, recovery reason / projection
- Primary runtime/adapter owns: timer / degraded-peer loop, transport
  probe execution, feeding probe result into engine, executing
  engine-emitted commands, ReplicationVolume / ReplicaPeer connection
  lifecycle
- Master owns: identity / topology / assignment / health observation
  ONLY. No runtime recovery. No epoch bumps for short up/down.

Six in-scope boundary rules (#1, #2, #3, #4, #7, #8):
- #1 Admitted Peer Rule — already INV-G5-5C-PRIMARY-RECOVERY-AUTHORITY-BOUNDED
- #2 Generation Fence — NEW INV-G5-5C-GENERATION-FENCE
- #3 Single In-Flight Per Peer — NEW INV-G5-5C-SINGLE-INFLIGHT-PER-PEER
- #4 Probe Before Catch-Up — NEW INV-G5-5C-PROBE-BEFORE-CATCHUP
- #7 Backoff/Cooldown — NEW INV-G5-5C-RECOVERY-BACKOFF (extends v0.4
  fixed-5s into 5s→10s→20s→40s→60s cap, reset on success)
- #8 Stale Ack Guard — NEW INV-G5-5C-STALE-ACK-NO-HEALTH-PROMOTION
  (cross-refs G5-5 round-14 gate-degraded artifact)

Three forward-carries OUT of G5-5C (per §5):
- #5 Durability Mode Explicit → G5-2 / G5-6
- #6 RF Health Reporting Separate From Recovery → future master
  observability batch
- #10 Status Surface (recovery reason, effective RF, last probe) →
  G5-3 metrics/backpressure

One citation (#9 Replica-side lineage check): already enforced by T4
acceptMutationLineage gate; G5-5C cites, no new code.

§1.H code-start audit gate: sw audits per-INV current owner location
BEFORE writing any code. Halt-condition: if recovery FSM is embedded
in ReplicationVolume, fence is re-derived per call site, in-flight is
implicit, or stale-ack guard is missing — sw stops and re-scopes as
engine-evolution batch instead of layering ifs in core/replication/.
Audit findings published as commit note pre-code; PR includes
audit-summary.

§2 acceptance criteria: add #13 (stale-ack guard), #14 (backoff
progression), #15 (code-start audit). Acceptance count now 15
covering 7 INVs (6 new + reconnect orthogonality from v0.4.3).

Standing by for architect single-sign of v0.4.4.

sw-block

Private WAL V2 and standalone block-service workspace.

Purpose:

  • keep WAL V2 design/prototype work isolated from WAL V1 production code in weed/storage/blockvol
  • allow private design notes and experiments to evolve without polluting V1 delivery paths
  • keep the future standalone sw-block product structure clean enough to split into a separate repo later if needed

Suggested layout:

  • design/: shared V2 design docs
  • prototype/: code prototypes and experiments
  • .private/: private notes, phase development, roadmap, and non-public working material

Repository direction:

  • current state: sw-block/ is an isolated workspace inside seaweedfs
  • likely future state: sw-block becomes a standalone sibling repo/product
  • design and prototype structure should therefore stay product-oriented and not depend on SeaweedFS-specific paths
