Summary

Each node disk metrics tick now starts by emitting three gauges from statvfs of /space/cache, before its census:

  • node_disk.cache_total_bytes
  • node_disk.cache_used_bytes (total - f_bfree)
  • node_disk.cache_available_bytes (f_bavail)

Until now, cache fill showed up only as fractions inside the reclaim loops and the admission gauges, and both of those can be disabled. No standing series showed the cache's size or headroom on every node. The capacity read runs before the census, so a failed census still reports it.

Validation

  • cargo clippy -p pplx-space-node-mgr --all-targets is clean.
  • E2E on a local kind cluster with Datadog Fake Intake (PASS). The image was an integration build of main plus this PR and others in its batch. Throwaway driver: seed:latest create → start → write → stop → start; then a second sandbox: create → start → write → suspend, with a 90s upload grace period, then delete. Captured with scripts/tests/capture-kind-fakeintake.sh over a window of about 6 minutes. Series shapes, without env/version:
space.node_disk.cache_total_bytes     ['cluster_id:<cluster>']
space.node_disk.cache_used_bytes      ['cluster_id:<cluster>']
space.node_disk.cache_available_bytes ['cluster_id:<cluster>']

Severity and risk

Severity: does not apply (observability only).
Risk: one statvfs call per tick (every 300s). To roll back, revert.

AI assistance: Perplexity Computer drafted the code and this description.

Emit node_disk.cache_{total,used,available}_bytes from statvfs at the
start of each disk metrics tick, before the census that can fail.

Automatic approval withheld

Assessment Current risk Maximum for approval
Merge risk High Moderate

Why: The new cache-capacity gauges need a verified test or cluster scenario before merge. A Kind capture was reported, but its scenario and image provenance remain unconfirmed.

Commit: ca014cf355f8.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Walkthrough

The node disk metrics tick now reads cache-disk status and, when status is available, publishes total, used, and available /space/cache capacity gauges. Used capacity comes from status.usage().used_bytes; available capacity comes from status.available_bytes.

Description Follows The Pr Template Passed The description includes all four required items. It states the change, validation and results, severity and risk, and the AI tool and drafted parts.
Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test Passed This PR adds cache-capacity metrics. It does not fix an application behavior defect, so the regression-test requirement does not apply.
Weakened Safeguards Are Justified Passed The diff does not weaken a safeguard or change review guidance.
Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands Passed The diff changes only Rust disk metrics code. It does not change agent manifests, skills, guideline files, or agent tooling.
Public-Safe Content Passed The diff, title, and description contain no identified content that matches the failure conditions. The reported validation uses a local cluster and a placeholder cluster tag.

Explanation

The title follows the required format. It starts with the lowercase area "node-mgr" and a colon. The summary begins with the lowercase word "report". It has no trailing period, ticket ID, or internal link. The title names the main change: the new /space/cache capacity gauges emitted on each disk metrics tick, which matches the raw summary and the PR objectives.

- Line 360: Verify that the filesystem at the cache path is the expected cache
mount before publishing capacity gauges from the read_cache_disk_status flow; if
its identity cannot be confirmed, do not publish parent-filesystem capacity as
cache capacity. Use the repository’s established mount-identity check,
preserving the existing behavior for a verified cache filesystem.
