[cr-test] kubernetes: raise the default create-execution cancel budget to 256 a second - #1451
The default cancellation budget increases from 64 to 256 events per second. The configured budget remains the threshold used by is_over_budget.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to ddde4
The higher production threshold can admit more cleanup-producing work during cancellation bursts, increasing pressure while node-manager is already constrained. Resolve or explicitly accept this risk before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to ddde4
The higher threshold allows execution creation to continue during larger cancellation bursts, delaying shared overload protection. Existing rejection and cleanup safeguards remain, but safe capacity at the higher threshold has not been demonstrated.
Retained concerns
Low · security · inferred: Raising the shared cancellation threshold delays overload rejection: at tracked counts of 65 through 256, requests can now proceed to additional creation work. Pod-backed caller cancellations can contribute cleanup load, so the relaxed protection may worsen availability for other callers sharing the same tracker. Actual saturation and deployment-wide impact are not demonstrated.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The supported exposure is shared admission and downstream creation or cleanup work for callers using the same substrate instance. The tracker has no tenant key. This establishes cross-request coupling within that owner, but not fleet-wide or cross-environment impact.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A caller able to reach a pod-backed creation can indirectly contribute to the shared cancellation signal by abandoning the request. The higher threshold permits subsequent requests to pass this gate over a larger cancellation range. This is a plausible additional-load path, not proof that an unauthenticated caller can reach it or that available quotas and capacity can be exhausted.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The cancellation gate still rejects before the activation database write. A separate full-network-capacity check can also reject creation. For node-manager-unreachable cancellations, cleanup is deferred to reconciliation rather than immediately adding cleanup work. These controls limit the concern but do not demonstrate that the higher cancellation threshold is safe.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The tracker retains ten 100-millisecond atomic buckets, monotonic epoch updates, and aging of old counts. Initialization, concurrent recording, rollover, and recovery logic are unchanged; the PR introduces no new persistence or cleanup state transition.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Validate the 256 threshold against downstream cleanup capacity under concurrent, multi-caller cancellation bursts, and verify that rejection alerts remain useful at the new threshold before broad rollout.

It does not modify tests, assertions, lints, CI checks, or repository guard configuration. The description gives a specific reason for the higher cancellation budget.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title does not meet the configured format. It starts with the bracketed tag "[cr-test]", which is not an area prefix, and the word after the colon, "raise", is lowercase, so the summary part is fine. The area after the colon is "kubernetes", which matches the touched path (controllers/substrate/kubernetes), but the bracketed "[cr-test]" prefix is an extra token that the required format does not allow. The title otherwise describes the change: the default create-execution cancel budget rises from 64 to 256 per second, which matches the raw summary and objectives. The main change is clearly described.
Resolution
Remove the "[cr-test]" prefix so the title follows the required format. For example: "kubernetes: raise the default create-execution cancel budget to 256 a second". The title is otherwise accurate and needs no other change.
Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The pull request changes application behavior in crates/: the production CancelRateTracker default changes from 64 to 256 cancellations per second. This corrects the overly restrictive cancellation behavior described in the PR. The Validation section says only Not run yet and names no regression test or testability explanation. Existing tracker tests use with_budget(...); the default-path test uses the changed constant, so it would not fail with the old value.
Resolution
Update the Validation section with a regression test that demonstrates the intended boundary: the relevant cancellation burst is over budget at 64, but is not over budget at 256, and the test passes with the change. Alternatively, explain why that test cannot be written or identify an existing test that covers the default production behavior.

Keep the production default at the existing backpressure limit.
When the tracker observes 257 cancellations in the trailing one-second window, this value allows 256 cancellation events before is_over_budget() rejects new creates. The previous value activated backpressure after 65 events. During a cancellation storm, this permits up to 192 additional cleanup-producing creates while node-manager is already saturated. Keep 64 for production, or make 256 an explicit test-only budget. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Raises the default per-second budget of
create_executioncancellations from 64 to 256, so bursts of cancellations stay under the budget for longer.Validation
Not run yet.
Severity and risk
Severity: does not apply. Risk: more cancellations are allowed before the tracker reports the budget exceeded.
