smoke: verify guest memory reaches local telemetry - #1670
Extend local.telemetry_reaches_local_backends to require at least two fresh sandbox.guest.mem_used_bytes observations for the expected template and k8s_node_name within 120 seconds, with a finite, positive average. The memory check queries only Prometheus and proves population-level delivery: another running sandbox with the same template on the node can satisfy it.
Read native-histogram counts and sums grouped by service_instance_id. Compute per-instance deltas before combining them and ignore vanished reporters. Compare each current count with that instance's previous observed count; when it decreases, retain an effective zero baseline for both count and sum across subsequent polls. A later count catching up to the original baseline cannot restore the pre-reset sum. Preserve the original and effective baselines separately in diagnostic evidence.
Keep the three-second polling interval and existing trace, create-latency, and log-delivery checks. Give the sandbox a 600-second timeout so it remains available through the checks, and regenerate the scenario index to reflect the expanded delivery claim.
Validation
Head: ded1ef35415393fa6a3cbb8b16b0d7dccd1ba2b4, directly based on #1669 head a3d33be05, which directly includes #1668 head 5de789f85 and main 3a6e89f3b.
Full local Python CI runner: PATH="/usr/sbin:$PATH" SPACE_PYTHON_TEST_WORKERS=4 bash ci/scripts/run-python-tests.sh passed the generated scenario-index gate and all 1,931 tests, without skips.
Disposable replay of the actual assertion: before the fix, initial count/sum (2, 2000) followed by reset (1, 100) and subsequent observations eventually failed with average -800. After the fix, it accepts two post-reset observations with average 100, preserves the original baseline, and records an effective zero baseline.
An additional replay passes when a detected count decrease does not fall below the original baseline. All 10 earlier reporter-replacement, missing/insufficient-sample, and invalid-average replay cases also pass.
Python compilation, scenario description, and diff checks passed. Combined-stack Rust validation passed 48 guest unit tests, 55 watchdog tests, formatting, and strict all-target/all-feature Clippy for guest-server, sandbox-manager, and host-server.
Severity and risk
Severity does not apply to production: this extends smoke coverage. The reset fix prevents false smoke failures after an observed counter reset; it does not change production telemetry.
Backend delays can fail the bounded check, and another matching sandbox can satisfy it. The assertion does not prove that this particular sandbox reports, that every sandbox reports, or that values match a separate meminfo read. Reset detection requires an observed count decrease; it cannot identify a reset and complete counter recovery hidden between polls.
Guest parser tests own byte calculation, the watchdog's lifecycle-fence coverage owns stale-probe rejection, and this smoke owns delivery of fresh, plausible observations. Reverting removes the memory assertion without changing production behavior.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The local telemetry scenario now uses a 600-second sandbox timeout and checks Prometheus for fresh guest-memory histogram observations by template and node. The assertion records baseline and later histogram counts and sums, polls for up to 120 seconds, and checks that at least two new observations have a finite, positive average. The telemetry overview notes that another matching sandbox may contribute to these observations.
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to ded1e
This PR adds a smoke-test check that guest memory telemetry reaches the local backends, with no production behavior change. The earlier concerns about pod-count flakiness and meminfo parsing no longer apply because those code paths were removed. Merge risk is minimal.

Explanation
The title "smoke: verify guest memory reaches local telemetry" starts with a lowercase area and colon, followed by a lowercase summary of the change. It matches the required format. It also matches the main change: the scenario and assertion module now verify guest memory observations reach local telemetry backends. No trailing period, ticket ID, or link is present.
Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template
Explanation
The PR description contains all four required items, each with real content. Judged on the description text supplied in the review context; no code evidence is needed for this check. 1. "## Summary": Present. It states that merging extends local.telemetry_reaches_local_backends to require at least two fresh sandbox.guest.mem_used_bytes observations within 120 seconds, with a finite, positive average. 2. "## Validation": Present. It names the commands and tests run and their results, including the full Python CI runner (1,931 tests passed), disposable replay cases, Python compilation and diff checks, and combined-stack Rust validation. 3. "## Severity and risk": Present. It states "Severity does not apply to production: this extends smoke coverage." It also gives risks, including backend delays failing the bounded check and another matching sandbox satisfying it. 4. "AI assistance:" line: Present. It reads "AI assistance: Perplexity assisted with code, tests, review, and this description." The check judges presence only, so quality is not assessed.
Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The check applies only when a pull request fixes a defect in application behavior under crates/, shim/, or ui/. The changed-file inventory for the reviewed range lists three files, all under space_smoke/: space_smoke/scenarios/README.md, space_smoke/scenarios/local_telemetry_reaches_local_backends.py, and space_smoke/telemetry_delivery.py. No file under crates/, shim/, or ui/ changed. The pull request extends smoke coverage with a guest-memory delivery check. Its reset-baseline handling corrects the smoke assertion itself, not production application behavior. The check is therefore not applicable, and the pull request passes. The regression-test question does not need to be assessed.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
The reviewed range changes three files: space_smoke/scenarios/README.md, space_smoke/scenarios/local_telemetry_reaches_local_backends.py, and space_smoke/telemetry_delivery.py. None of the custom check's protected categories is touched. - No test, assertion, or lint removed or loosened. The diff only adds code. A new expect_guest_memory_used() method and a new phase call are added. The existing Tempo, create-latency, Prometheus, and Loki checks keep their code. Only their comments and docstrings were reworded. - No skip, xfail, allow, baseline, or exception entry. No #[allow], pytest.mark.skip, deny/clippy/gitleaks config, or known-failures list is touched. - No CI or config weakening. No workflow, continue-on-error, SPACE_TEST_DEPS_OPTIONAL, ci/kind-pull-paths.txt, or [lints] change appears. - No review-guidance edits. No AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .agents/ skill, CONTRIBUTING.md, or docs/rust/ file changes, so the review-steering clause does not apply. The README change is the generated scenario index row, which is not one of the listed guidance files. - Timeout change is not a weakening.sandbox=SandboxConfig(timeout=600) is added to the scenario. The PR description gives the reason: the sandbox must stay available through the checks. The module and class docstring rewording (for example, "for the scenario's own sandbox" becomes "for fresh evidence") describes a population-level memory check. The PR description and the code comments justify it, and the removed attribution is not an assertion.
Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
Explanation
The check covers agent plugin manifests, SKILL.md files, skill or command files, and guideline files. The PR does not change any of them. The changed-file inventory (git diff --name-status against the review base) lists three modified files: - space_smoke/scenarios/local_telemetry_reaches_local_backends.py - space_smoke/telemetry_delivery.py - space_smoke/scenarios/README.md None of these is a plugin manifest (plugin.json, plugin.yaml), a SKILL.md, a command or skill file, or an AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md guideline. The agent-related paths in the repository (.agents/plugins/..., .claude/skills/..., AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, space_smoke/AGENTS.md) are all unchanged. The added lines contain no inline shell substitution (! followed by a backtick), no hooks, no allowed-tools, no MCP or LSP server entries, and no subprocess, Popen, or os.system calls. The scenarios/README.md edit is one table cell. It adds prose about guest-memory observations and does not add a command. The Python changes are smoke-test scenario and assertion code. They are not agent-tool content, so the check does not apply to them.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The public-safe content check passes. I read the full patch for the three changed files (space_smoke/scenarios/README.md, space_smoke/scenarios/local_telemetry_reaches_local_backends.py, space_smoke/telemetry_delivery.py) and found no content that matches a failure condition. - No credentials, tokens, or private keys. - No internal hostnames or internal URLs. The diff adds no URLs. - No cloud account IDs or ARNs. - No real cluster or environment names. kind_ecw and k8s_node_name are harness and label names. The node value is read at runtime and is not hardcoded. - No absolute personal workstation paths. - No raw production logs, query output, or measurements. The metric names, the SandboxConfig(timeout=600) value, and the poll budgets are code constants. - No incident details. - No description of an unfixed security vulnerability. The PR description also passes. Its only links are public GitHub pull request links (#1668, #1669). Its validation figures are test counts and disposable replay values, not production data.

Verify guest memory delivery in the local telemetry smoke
smoke: verify guest memory reaches local telemetry
Nov 6, 2026
The retirement check does not detect a pod that shares a sandbox id label but is not in the list.
Each sandbox group is judged only by the pods currently listed. If a sandbox's terminal pods are the only ones listed, the check queries the cluster DB and worker-local rows. The sandbox-id label is read from pod labels without any check that all executions are visible. This is acceptable because the DB and worker rows are the authority.
One concrete risk remains. self.sandbox_pool_nodes() and node_sandbox_state() run once per terminal sandbox group. Each node_sandbox_state() call execs into a node shell with a 60 s timeout. With many retained terminal pods, read() in expect_guest_memory_used repeats this on every poll (every 3 s). The loop can then take far longer than the 120 s budget, because _poll checks the deadline only after read() returns.
Cache the retirement result per sandbox id for the duration of one scenario, or run the node reads concurrently with run_concurrently.

Regarding the retirement-cache nit in the review: 3dd2f2b05 removes telemetry_sandbox_pod_count() entirely as part of narrowing this to a template/node delivery check. Memory polling no longer performs the cluster-DB, worker-discovery, or node-local retirement reads, so no retirement cache or concurrent node reads are needed.
The net PR now touches only the existing telemetry scenario and assertion module. The default sandbox_pod_count() and selector-admission behavior are unchanged.
All 697 smoke-framework Python tests passed, with no skips; Python compilation and scenario registration checks also passed. The simplified assertion has not had a fresh live Kind run, and the PR description explicitly records that validation gap.

The problem.#1668 and #1669 add a guest-memory metric, but each of the guest agent, sandbox-manager's emitter, the exporter and the Collector can break silently, and no unit test would notice. This PR extends local.telemetry_reaches_local_backends, which Kind CI shards run in otel mode, to require at least two fresh guest_used_bytes observations for the sandbox's template and node within 120 s, with a finite positive average.
Example.
baseline: histogram_count{template="seed", k8s_node_name=<node>} = 1
...watchdog probes every 25-40 s; sbx-mgr exports cumulative totals every 2 s...
poll: count = 3 -> 2 fresh observations, positive average -> pass
emission broken (no samples, or wrong template tag) -> count stays 1 -> fails after 120 s
The scenario ran this way on Kind in this PR's Pull CI and passed, in under half of its budget.
Verdict: comment, not approving yet. Waiting on #1668's rebase onto main and a green Pull CI run on the restacked head. One fix to the assertion is listed below.

Subtracting a summed baseline can fail the check after sandbox-manager is replaced
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Subtracting a summed baseline can fail the check after sandbox-manager is replaced (space_smoke/telemetry_delivery.py:276).
Why it can happen:
sum(histogram_count(...)) adds every series for the template and node, and each sbx-mgr process is its own series (service_instance_id is host and pid).
Kind exports cumulative totals, and Prometheus keeps a series that stopped exporting visible for its 5-minute lookback.
Say a pod replaced shortly before the check leaves its old count (200) in the baseline. That series ages out during the poll, so final - baseline goes negative and the check fails although fresh samples arrive. A container restart that keeps the instance id resets the series the same way.
local.sandbox_manager_restart_leaves_teardown_suspend_to_its_teardown replaces the worker's sandbox-manager pod, and so does any crash. That scenario isn't on this one's shard today, but the shard partition is duration-balanced, so a rebalance can put them together.
expect_metrics in the same file already handles this (telemetry_delivery.py:176-204). Reuse its shape:
query sum by (service_instance_id) for both histogram_count and histogram_sum;
for each instance present now, take the delta from its baseline (a count below baseline counts from 0), and skip instances that vanished;
total the count and sum deltas and compute the average from those totals.
That keeps the 3 s poll and the 120 s budget. While there, the class docstring at line 63 ("for the scenario's own sandbox") is no longer true for this check.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed the multi-poll reset edge in restacked head ded1ef354. Counts are compared against the previous observation, not just the initial baseline. A detected decrease permanently zeroes that instance's effective count and sum baselines for this check, while the original baseline is retained separately as evidence. Later polls cannot restore the pre-reset sum; vanished reporters still contribute nothing.
The disposable replay reproduced the false failure before the fix: initial (2, 2000), reset (1, 100), then increasing counts eventually produced average -800. After the fix, two post-reset observations are accepted with average 100. A decrease that stays at or above the initial count also passes, along with the original 10 replay cases. The 3-second poll, 120-second budget, and population-level scope are unchanged.
Regenerated the scenario index as well. The full local Python CI runner now passes its index gate and all 1,931 tests without skips. Fresh Pull CI at this head is running; the previous head's Kind pass is not evidence for this new head.

PR description and squash message.
"Live Kind validation has not been rerun" isn't accurate: this PR's Pull CI ran the scenario on Kind and recorded the new guest_memory_delivery evidence. After the restack, cite the run at the new head.
Summary ¶3-4 describe what earlier revisions did and removed. CONTRIBUTING asks for what merging does. A replacement that holds: "The memory check reads only Prometheus and does not identify this sandbox; another running sandbox of the same template on the node can satisfy it."
The repo squashes with COMMIT_MESSAGES and the commits are subject-only, so "Exclude confirmed-retired pods from telemetry isolation", code a later commit removed, would land on main. Squash to one commit with an accurate message while rebasing.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The description now matches restacked head ded1ef354, directly based on #1669's a3d33be05, which includes #1668's 5de789f85 and main 3a6e89f3b. Each PR is now one focused commit with a final-behavior message; obsolete intermediate subjects are no longer in this stack's squash-message input. I also updated the summary paragraph 3 and 4 and removed "Live Kind validation has not been rerun" in the Validation section.
Require two fresh, positive memory observations for the selected template and node. Compute deltas per service instance, ignore vanished reporters, and retain an effective zero baseline after an observed count decrease so later polls cannot reuse pre-reset sums. Preserve original baseline readings as evidence and refresh the generated scenario index.
Validated with the full Python CI runner (1,931 tests), generated-index check, and disposable multi-poll reset and reporter-replacement replays. The assertion remains population-level, not exact-sandbox attribution.
