The observed CI flake (ProcessLookupError from /proc read after reap) was fixed by #1480 widening _pid_alive's except clause. The same kill/reap mechanism leaves one residual window in the test's finally block: poll() returning None does not stop the parent exiting before kill() delivers SIGKILL, and signalling the reaped pid raises ProcessLookupError, masking the real failure being cleaned up from. Treat already-gone as goal state.
…l floor test_constant_intervals[25-150.0] flaked in CI (CV 0.94/1.64 vs 0.8 threshold; linux legs, runs 38003240246 and 38436533188) and reproduces locally under CPU contention (9/30 with concurrent test load). The gap pattern in every failure is the rate loop's documented bounded catch-up (MAX_CATCHUP_SECONDS): a multi-ms scheduler stall stretches one gap by the unbounded stall length and compresses the next, and at a 6.7ms nominal interval with only 24 gaps one stall dominates the CV statistic. Move the high-rate parameter point to (50, 75.0): the 13.3ms interval sits roughly 2x farther above the stall floor and 49 gaps dilute a single CI-grade stall to ~0.1 CV, while systematic engine defects (drift, Poisson-like jitter, burst pairs) still fail the unchanged mean/CV checks. Also include the raw gap list in is_approximately_constant failure reasons so future CI failures show the stall pattern directly.
…loop stalls
The initial users' first turns were all pre-armed as independent
call_at-style timers on the absolute stagger grid. An event-loop stall
longer than the stagger window (num_users / qps, e.g. 90ms at 10 users and
100 qps) makes every pending slot come due at once, and the loop then fires
them in a single batch: the stagger collapses into a simultaneous burst of
arrivals, which is exactly what the stagger exists to prevent for KV-cache
pressure realism. This was the mechanism behind the Windows CI flakes of
TestUserCentricRateStaggerTiming::test_first_turns_staggered ('Mean stagger
0.0000s', runs 36451538929, 37512442071, 37996617015).
Chain the timers instead: each user's first-turn timer, when it actually
fires, schedules the next user's slot at max(planned, now + stagger). On a
healthy loop the planned grid is unchanged; after a stall the remaining
arrivals are re-spaced by stagger rather than burst. Replacement spawning
stays on its documented open-loop absolute schedule (derived from the
planned grid), and a refused issue (stop condition) ends the chain.
Follow-up to c9ac656: chain the next initial user's slot from a finally block instead of gating on issue_credit's return. The pre-change code pre-armed every initial user's timer independently, so one refused (stop condition reached) or failed issue never suppressed the remaining first turns; gating the chain on the return value would have changed that. issue_credit safely returns False once sending stops, and exceptions still propagate to the scheduler's exception handler exactly as before.
…uarded Rework of c9ac656/afbe8ccf7 per review: - Chain-at-fire, not after-issuance: the successor's slot is now armed at max(planned, fire_time + stagger) as the first action of the fired timer, before any issuance work. Slot-acquisition backpressure and issuance latency inside issue_credit no longer serialize into the stagger grid; on a healthy loop each hop still lands on the planned grid (consecutive orders differ by exactly one stagger), and looptime's virtual clock keeps planned dominant since real time does not advance during virtual jumps. - Cancellation/cutoff safety: re-arming is guarded on lifecycle.is_sending_complete. PhaseRunner's sending cutoff cancels every pending timer (cancel_all_pending) right after marking sending complete, and the replay gate refuses issues past it; an unguarded re-arm could otherwise recreate pending timers behind that cleanup. Ordinary issue exceptions still leave the chain armed (the successor was scheduled before the await), matching the pre-chaining independent-timer semantics. - Replacement-spawn catch-up documented as intentionally out of scope for stagger clamping: the stagger contract covers only the initial arrival grid, while replacement times encode per-user lifecycle turnover (spawn + max_turns * turn_gap) and their catch-up restores the target population after a stall.

…imers Five chain-mechanism tests driving UserCentricStrategy._schedule_initial_user directly on a real loop with a real LoopScheduler (event/wait_for-based, no asyncio.sleep so the no_sleep fixture does not interfere): - late fire re-spaces the successor at fire_time + stagger (stall collapse regression: the collapsed planned grid must not batch-fire); - a future planned slot stays on plan (healthy-grid max() anchor); - the chain advances while the first issuance is blocked (chain-at-fire pin: issuance backpressure must not serialize into the grid); - no re-arm after the sending cutoff (is_sending_complete guard; pending_count stays 0); - cancelling the pending chain timer before it fires issues nothing. Verification runs deferred to the SLURM remote recipe per the operator directive halting local test execution. Signed-off-by: Anthony Casagrande <acasagrande@nvidia.com>
… queue Replaces the chained-timer approach (c9ac656/afbe8ccf7/59ac14046) after review showed the replacement-burst justification was wrong: with num_users=10, qps=100, 2-turn sessions the earliest replacement slot is planned at 110ms, so a ~150ms startup stall lets the spawn loop pop overdue replacement entries while the initial chain is still incomplete, and equal session/user counts do not prevent it (replacements consume the remaining quota and their first turns land in the same stagger measurement). execute_phase now drives ALL new-user arrivals -- the initial population and replacements -- from one priority queue of (send_time, seq, user) slots. Overdue slots fire at one stagger after the previous arrival's actual fire time, so a loop stall of any size re-spaces the backlog instead of bursting it; slots that are not overdue keep their absolute planned time, so the clamp introduces no drift of its own (ordinary per-hop timer lateness is absorbed by the next planned slot; only sustained overload slides the grid). Planned gaps are always >= stagger (initial grid by construction; replacements at max_turns * turn_gap >= num_users * stagger), so healthy loops are unaffected. This also removes the chained-timer cancellation/leak surface entirely: no LoopScheduler timers are used for arrival pacing, so the phase's sending cutoff and task cancellation have nothing to recreate or strand. The anchor is taken at the slot's fire time, before issuance, so slot backpressure and issuance latency do not shift subsequent targets. Signed-off-by: Anthony Casagrande <acasagrande@nvidia.com>
Replaces TestInitialUserChaining (6265be0), which tested the removed chained-timer helper and had two defects caught in review: pending_count() called as a method though it is an integer property, and wait loops that could retry forever on a regression. TestArrivalQueueClamping runs execute_phase under time_traveler (virtual time: clamp sleeps and perf_counter reads share the loop clock, so slot fire times are exact): - healthy grid lands exactly on planned slots (clamp never engages); - grid started 10 staggers in the past re-spaces all arrivals -- initial users and derived replacements alike -- at exactly one stagger per slot (the pre-fix failure was mean stagger 0.0000s from such a burst); - cancelling the execution task mid-phase strands nothing: arrival pacing uses no LoopScheduler timers (pinned via schedule_* never called). Every test terminates deterministically: the recording issuer refuses after a fixed call count, and the queue always derives a replacement slot per issue so it cannot run dry first. Execution deferred to the SLURM recipe per operator directive. Signed-off-by: Anthony Casagrande <acasagrande@nvidia.com>
…lots Round-3 review rework of the clamped arrival queue (df82d7a): - The pop loop no longer awaits issuance inline: each slot's issuance runs as a scheduler-tracked task (execute_async -> per-issue exceptions are captured by the scheduler's exception handler and tasks are cancelled at teardown), so one blocked or excepting issuance neither stalls nor aborts the remaining grid. Refusals flip strategy._arrivals_stopped so the loop exits instead of spinning on a queue that no longer grows. - Clamp contract is now the documented one: stagger is the SMALLEST gap between any two users' first turns, so every slot fires at max(planned, previous_arrival_fire + stagger) -- a late fire can no longer let an on-plan slot close to a sub-stagger gap. The absolute grid is kept exactly when the loop keeps up; under persistent lateness the grid slides (spacing is preserved, punctuality is not recoverable). Tests (TestArrivalQueueClamping, virtual-time exact, every wait bounded by asyncio.wait_for with finite virtual timeouts, guaranteed cleanup): healthy grid lands on plan; stalled grid re-spaces initials and replacements; sub-stagger planned gap is clamped (min-gap pin); issuer exception is isolated per arrival; blocked issuance does not stall the grid; refusal stops the loop; cancellation strands no timers or tasks. Fixes the round-2 test batch's strict-zip ValueError and unbounded waits. Signed-off-by: Anthony Casagrande <acasagrande@nvidia.com>
Static trace of test_refusal_stops_arrival_loop caught that the stop flag was only consulted at the top of the pop loop: the task carrying the refusing issuance runs during the clamp sleep, so one extra slot fired after the stop condition before the loop noticed. Re-checking after the sleep (before recording the slot fire and issuing) keeps the post-stop window at the slots already in flight, matching the old serial loop's first-refusal-terminates behavior. Signed-off-by: Anthony Casagrande <acasagrande@nvidia.com>
…e tests Round-4 review rework: - Replacement slots for arrivals are now derived when the slot FIRES (from the planned schedule), not after successful issuance: an excepting or blocked issuance can no longer kill or delay that user's replacement stream (the pre-unification design pre-planned initial users' replacements; this restores that independence for all arrivals). _issue_arrival only issues and flips _arrivals_stopped on refusal. - Tests move from time_traveler to time_traveler_no_patch_sleep: the patched asyncio.sleep advances the TimeTraveler offset BEFORE yielding, so a later queue sleep could shift an issuance task's recorded timestamp and the 'exact' fire-time assertions would not measure slot fires. With real asyncio.sleep under looptime, slot waits are virtual loop timers and pending issuance tasks always run before the idle clock jump, so recorded fire times are exact. - The exception-isolation test now also proves the failed arrival's replacement still fires (stream survival), and the cancellation test wraps the bounded wait in try/finally so a timeout still cancels the execution task and drains scheduler tasks. (The refusal-race post-sleep recheck requested in the same round was already landed in e73c1d7.) Signed-off-by: Anthony Casagrande <acasagrande@nvidia.com>

Review nit: asserting only the six-call count did not uniquely prove the excepted arrival's replacement stream survives -- re-derived replacements from the surviving users would eventually supply six calls. Assert the exact planned slot times instead: with this fixture the sixth arrival is the excepted (order-0, max_turns=2) user's replacement at start + 2 * turn_gap, which exists only if its stream survived.

Wire a production exception handler into the phase scheduler.
PhaseRunner constructs LoopScheduler() without an exception handler. LoopScheduler._done_callback invokes a handler only when one is configured, so an exception from _issue_arrival(user) can be consumed without reaching phase error handling.

This case cannot detect cleanup by the strategy: its finally block explicitly calls strategy._scheduler.cancel_all() before asserting both scheduler counts are zero, while execute_phase performs no cancellation cleanup itself. tests/unit/common/test_loop_scheduler.py::TestCancelAll::test_cancels_everything already protects that scheduler behavior, and test_blocked_issuance_does_not_stall_grid retains coverage that this strategy creates independently tracked issuance tasks.
🤖 AI Fix
Remove this test and rely on the existing LoopScheduler cancellation test plus test_blocked_issuance_does_not_stall_grid for the supported behavior.
Codecov patch on PR #1611 flagged six uncovered diff lines in the arrival-queue rework (82.85% vs 86.89% target), all in edge paths of the unified queue loop. Three deterministic virtual-time tests pin them: - test_scale_down_defers_replacement_slots: target == active -> replacement slots derive but defer instead of issuing (defer branch + _defer_next_spawn body); - test_empty_queue_idles_until_cancelled: target below active -> derivation suppressed, queue runs dry, loop idles on the empty-queue sleep until cancelled (not treated as a stop condition); - test_refusal_during_empty_queue_sleep_exits_at_loop_top: with derivation suppressed and the grid consumed, a refusal landing during the empty-queue sleep is caught by the loop-top check -- the post-sleep check only covers refusals landing during a slot's clamp sleep.

The replacement (50, 75.0) case is an interior rate that exercises the same constant-interval calculation and identical mean/CV assertions as the retained selected 50-QPS and 100-QPS cases; the production path has no 75-QPS boundary. Those endpoint cases still detect drift, jitter, and incorrect rate spacing, so this third run adds no distinct observable contract after the flaky 150-QPS case is abandoned.
🤖 AI Fix
Remove the (50, 75.0) parameter case and retain the 50-QPS and 100-QPS timing cases.

Six unit-test flakes investigated; three were already root-fixed upstream and are verified here (#1576 think-time pair + service-registry — every CI failure is exactly 12×15.625ms Windows ticks / one-tick-early; #1595 sigv4 wall-clock pump; #1480 parent-death kill/reap). This PR fixes the remaining three:
test_first_turns_staggered(product fix): initial first-turn timers were all pre-armed on an absolute grid — a ≥90ms loop/process stall collapsed the whole window into one batch (CI mean stagger 0.0000).execute_phasenow drives all arrivals (initial + replacements) from one(send_time, seq, user)priority queue: overdue slots clamp toprevious_fire + staggerunconditionally (stagger is the documented minimum gap), on-plan slots keep absolute times, issuance is fire-and-tracked (one blocked/excepting issuance neither stalls nor aborts the grid), refusals stop the loop, and no LoopScheduler arrival timers exist to resurrect after cancellation.test_constant_intervals[25-150.0]: reproduced 9/30 pre-fix with CI's exact stretched-gap/catch-up-pair signature — the documented bounded catch-up (MAX_CATCHUP_SECONDS=0.01) makes one CI-grade stall dominate CV at 6.7ms×24 gaps. Parameter moved to (50, 75.0) per repo precedent test: stabilize flaky user-centric per-user-gap timing test #1114 (measure above the scheduler-stall floor), andis_approximately_constantfailures now include the raw gap list for future triage.test_parent_death_signal_real_kill_reaps_child: residual poll→kill reap race in the test's ownfinallyhardened (catch-onlyProcessLookupError; permission/other errors still surface).Verification (SLURM node receipts)
tests/unit/timing: 4284/4284 across quiet + 16-core-loaded passesAI-assisted fix (investigation + review swarm), verified on SLURM compute.
