Caught by the harness itself on its first post-commit run: the aura run
record line embeds manifest.commit — the binary's compile-time build sha
(crates/aura-cli/build.rs, the invariant-8 audit trail) — so hashing the raw
line flipped the fingerprint on every rebuild at a new commit and reported a
phantom correctness change (exit 1) at each cycle close. The rebase onto the
#191 main exposed it; nothing in #191 touched the record.
RED-first: run_line_fingerprint_is_invariant_across_build_commits pins the
symptom (two lines differing only in manifest.commit must hash identically);
the fix extracts run_line_fingerprint, which parses the line, blanks that
one volatile field, re-serializes (serde_json maps are sorted, so the bytes
are deterministic), and hashes. A missing manifest.commit is a hard error,
so a future record-schema move fails loudly instead of silently passing.
The cli_fixed_cost baseline is re-pinned under the new definition — ratify:
the fingerprint DEFINITION changed (provenance excluded, results still
covered, pinned by run_line_fingerprint_still_detects_result_changes); no
measured behaviour of aura moved.
refs #251
Tasks 7-8 of the bench-harness plan plus the orchestrator's sizing pass —
this completes the phase-1 harness (closes#251).
Driver: run [--surface|--quick|--reps|--out] / pin over five surfaces,
report-only comparison (drift NOTICE at >=10%, never a failure), fingerprint
mismatch exits 1 with a baseline-vs-measured block, infra errors exit 2,
debug builds refuse to measure. The Bench project-facts line and the crate
README (discipline: quiet box, warmup+median, deliberate re-pins) land with
it.
Workload sizing, measured then corrected: the release engine outran the
plan's guesses by ~100x, leaving sub-second child walls where spawn jitter
reaches the 10% threshold and flaps the report. Full-size workloads now land
in whole seconds — engine 10M bars (~0.7s), ingest 24 months x 20 fresh
drains (~0.4s), campaigns on a 24-month archive with a ~22-month window and
a 5x5 member grid (sweep ~1.4s, heavy ~5.5s), fixed-cost as in-rep medians
over spawn batches (20x help, 10x run). Quick mode keeps the small
E2E-fixture shape.
The campaign fingerprint folds all three realization layers — sweep winner,
gate survivor ordinals, bootstrap trade counts (pooled or per-survivor sum)
— so a wrong-result regression in any stage fails the bench, not just a
wrong sweep winner. Baselines pinned on this host (commit-stamped), verified
by a follow-up run: five fingerprints OK at <=2% drift under load.
Verification: cargo test --workspace 1379 green (bench tests all quick-mode;
the release-binary E2Es are #[ignore]d behind -- --ignored per the
suite-wallclock discipline), clippy -D warnings clean, doc build clean.
