Overview

Adds --registration-storage dynamodb to the Global Discovery Service as an alternative to memory for --pool-discovery registrations. Registrations live in one DynamoDB table that any number of service replicas share, in one region or across regions through a Global Table. The service survives restarts, every replica serves the same pool list, and GET /pools reports complete: true from the first read, since Completeness::Exact is defined as "read from a shared store".

The HTTP contract does not change. POST /pools still answers the configured Lease, GET /pools lists live pools, GET /routers comes from --router. The memory store stays the default.

Design: lib/global-discovery-service/docs/dynamodb-store.md.

Key Changes

  • Add backends::dynamodb::DynamoDbPoolStore implementing PoolRegistrar and Directory<PoolListing, PoolKey>: one item per pool key (pk = "pool", sk = <cluster>#<namespace>#<dgd> with \# and \\ escaping); register is one unconditional UpdateItem (last writer wins, as with the memory store); list is a paginated Query that drops expired items at read time on the reader's clock with --lease-skew-secs; list_and_watch polls the table and diffs, with local writes published immediately; every SDK error maps to DiscoveryError::Unavailable (503).
  • Add backends::clock::{Clock, SystemClock, ManualClock} so lease expiry is testable without wall-clock waits.
  • Add flags under the registrations heading: --dynamodb-table, --dynamodb-region, --dynamodb-endpoint, --dynamodb-poll-interval-secs (default 2), --dynamodb-ensure-table, --lease-skew-secs (default 2). They are rejected with the memory store; the poll interval must be below the heartbeat; a missing table without --dynamodb-ensure-table fails at startup with the create-table and update-time-to-live commands to run.
  • The TTL attribute expires_at is garbage collection only (last renewal plus 7 days); the lease is never expired by the store.
  • Dependencies: aws-sdk-dynamodb 1.105.0 and aws-config 1.8.14 (already locked) as workspace dependencies, with default-features = false and the smithy default HTTPS client to avoid the legacy hyper 0.14 and rustls 0.21 path; blake3 for the change hash; serde_json moves from dev-dependencies to dependencies. No version bumps in Cargo.lock.
  • Tests: a conformance suite written once and run against both stores (tests/common, tests/memory_conformance.rs); dynamodb-local integration tests (tests/dynamodb_store.rs, tests/http_dynamodb.rs) gated by GDS_TEST_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT and started with scripts/dynamodb-local.sh up; unit tests for key escaping, codec, liveness and the CLI.
  • Docs: a crate README.md; docs-site pages kubernetes/kv-aware-routing/global-discovery-service-storage.md (table creation, IAM, deployment, operations) and reference/components/global-discovery-service-configuration.md (every flag, endpoints, item layout); container/global-discovery-service-dynamodb.yaml example with two replicas; code ownership under global-router.

Validation

In the pinned rust:1.96.1-trixie image (the crate's dependency tree does not build natively on macOS):

  • cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --tests -D warnings: clean.
  • cargo test -p dynamo-global-discovery-service with dynamodb-local: lib 64 passed, bin 10 passed, dynamodb_store 19 passed, http_dynamodb 1 passed, memory_conformance 8 passed. Without the endpoint variable the DynamoDB suites skip and report why.
  • Manual: a missing table exits with the create-table commands; --dynamodb-ensure-table creates it; POST /pools on replica A then GET /pools on replica B returns the pool with complete: true; /healthz 200.
  • Docs: docs_lint.py 0 errors, fern check 0 errors, fern docs broken-links passes; build_codeowners.py --strict 100 percent owned, emit_codeowners.py no drift.

Not run: the GitHub workflow jobs (needs a maintainer's /ok to test <sha>), and a real AWS Global Table (the multi-region behaviour is argued in the design doc from DynamoDB's documented last-writer-wins; the integration tests cover one dynamodb-local).

…ts share

dynamo-global-common holds the types that more than one Global Router
component needs, so each is defined once:
- a pool's identity and location (PoolKey, PoolId and its deriver,
  PoolLocation), from the shared crate on the global-router-v2 test branch;
- the JSON of the Global Discovery Service's HTTP API: the POST /pools body
  and its lease reply, and the pool and router lists. Today the service and
  its client each define these;
- how a router names a PoolRelay on a trusted network (address_identity),
  which the service writes into each pool's relay_identity;
- Global Router replicas, and list-and-watch events and snapshots, which
  the service and the client in #17208 both define today.

The JSON does not change. PoolKey now reads and writes
{"site_id", "namespace", "dgd_name"} and checks each field while reading.
A lease reply parses only when the heartbeat interval is above zero and
below the lease, as in the client in #17208, and the lease is at most a
day.

…c comments

- A `POST /pools` body with an empty or blank `model` no longer parses, as
  with an invalid pool key, so the PoolRelay gets a 422 instead of
  registering a pool that no request can match.
- The crate docs said the service writes the API's JSON and its clients
  read it; the registration body goes the other way.
- `pool.rs` no longer refers to a source adapter that is not on main, or
  calls the V1 derivation the POC one.

The one-day cap made the shared `Lease` stricter than the client in #17208:
once that client reads the shared type, a reply with a longer lease would
fail to parse. The cap only protects the service's own clock arithmetic, so
the service now bounds the lease it grants (#17371), and `Lease` keeps the
checks a client needs: the interval is above zero and below the lease.

Also drops `LeaseError`'s doc comment, which restated its use.

A pool's listing named its PoolRelay by one address. On a dual-stack
cluster the PoolRelay's pod has two, and it connects to a router from
whichever family the router's address uses, so a router matching one
address could turn the right PoolRelay away. `relay_identities` now lists
each of them.

round_trip fails unless the parsed value serializes back to the same
JSON, so the field assertions after it could not catch anything more.
A lease of u64::MAX seconds already shows that a lease has no upper
bound, so the 48-hour case goes too.

dynamo-global-discovery-service starts as a library: which Global Router
pools exist, and which Global Router replicas a PoolRelay connects to.

Following the Global Router coding standards:
- The contract comes first: the store traits in pool_discovery
  (PoolDirectory, PoolRegistrar, ReplicaDirectory), on the
  dynamo-global-common types.
- The stores sit below it: in memory (registrations with leases), and MCS
  (pools and router replicas from the EndpointSlices that Karmada or a
  standard MCS implementation imports).

The HTTP service that serves them is added separately.

The code is the discovery work from #15933 and #15949, in the crate layout
of the global-router-v2 test branch. It leaves out the router-side pieces
those PRs had (relay admission, state connections, router discovery
modes): routers now read pools from the service, and relay connections
belong to the router.

- When the EndpointSlice watch keeps failing, for example after its RBAC is
  removed, the cache served its last view as complete indefinitely. It
  still serves that view, and the service stays ready, but after a minute
  of failures it reports the view as Estimated, so GET /pools says
  "complete": false, and it logs the failures as errors.
- A misnamed router port, Service or namespace left GET /routers empty with
  nothing in the log. A router EndpointSlice without the named port is now
  logged, and so is a relist that lists nothing, which also catches a
  cluster without the expected ServiceImports.

… list

Review feedback:
- list_and_watch returns a stream that yields nothing until the first
  complete list. That is deliberate, as dynamo_runtime's Kubernetes
  discovery also waits to be ready, but it was undocumented. The cancel
  token ends the wait, and the watch's failures are logged.
- The error logged after a minute of watch failures claimed to list the
  last view as incomplete even before there was a view.
- A test comment only restated the next line.

…ache

- The watcher's lists, including its relists after a watch error, were
  quorum reads from etcd (kube's default, ListSemantic::MostRecent), paged
  500 at a time. They now use any_semantic(): the API server answers from
  its watch cache, and the watch catches up from there. Discovery needs
  nothing stronger, and the pool watch covers every imported EndpointSlice
  in the cluster.
- The one list made before the cache syncs uses match_any() for the same
  reason.
- The pool and router indexes each had a copy of the Ready filter; both now
  use one ready_endpoints helper.

… them

The previous commit asked the watcher for lists from the API server's
cache with any_semantic(), but kube sends resourceVersion=0 only when no
page size is set, and the watcher pages 500 at a time by default. Its
lists therefore stayed paged quorum reads from etcd. With paging off they
are served from the watch cache in one response, as client-go's reflector
lists. The cache keeps only what it derives from each slice, so the larger
response costs little.

… who makes it

The MCS store's module doc said the operator creates each PoolRelay
Service's `ServiceExport`, but no operator code does. It now says what the
store needs, and what `relay_identity` is for: routers do not check it yet.

From an independent review against the Global Router coding standards:

- A failing EndpointSlice watch is now reported correctly. The cache
  cleared its failure clock on `Init`, which kube sends before each relist
  attempt, so a list that kept failing never made the view `Estimated`.
  And kube resumes a watch without an event, so after one error a healthy
  watch turned `Estimated` a minute later. Now errors spanning a minute
  mark the view stale, and two minutes without one count as recovery.
  `Init` no longer reaches kube's backoff, which it reset, so a failing
  list backs off instead of retrying every 800 ms.
- `register` takes the `PoolRegistration` a PoolRelay sends and returns
  the `Lease`, and pools are listed as `PoolListing`. The store's own
  record type and its unused revision are gone.
- A pool binds to a PoolRelay pod and lists every address of it in
  `relay_identities`, so a dual-stack PoolRelay matches from either family.
  A router replica in an IPv4 and an IPv6 slice is served at its IPv4
  address, whatever the slices are named.
- The memory store reports a list as exact once a lease has passed since
  it started.
- With Karmada, a Service name over 57 characters loses its cluster from
  the slice names. Such slices are now logged rather than skipped silently,
  and the limit is documented.
- `hub`, `endpoints` and `mcs` are private. `EndpointSliceReplicaDirectory`
  is `McsReplicaDirectory` with `new`, `PoolDiscoveryError` is
  `DiscoveryError`, the store types implement `Debug`, and the contract's
  docs no longer name stores or HTTP routes.
- A relist no longer copies the whole view to check whether it is empty.

- Bind the Ready PoolRelay pod with the lowest address, from the current
  slices only, so every service instance admits the same PoolRelay.
- Tell watchers when completeness changes: a Resync when a failing watch
  turns the view Estimated, and when it recovers, by an event or by
  silence. The memory store publishes one when its first lease passes.
- Ask the API server to end each watch after 50 s, so a server that stops
  answering fails within the client's read timeout.
- Drop a failed relist's slices, so the next relist starts over.
- Count only a slice's named TCP port, and not port 0, for router replicas.
- Test that a relist that keeps failing backs off without its Init.

- A relist ends a run of watch errors only when it completes. Its first
  slice no longer announces the view from before the outage as Exact.
- An error after a quiet spell ends the old run, and announces it, before
  starting a new one, even if the quiet timer has not fired yet.
- The per-attempt budget behind RECOVERED_AFTER counts the client's
  connect timeout as well as its read timeout.
- The watch loop takes any event stream, so a test checks that its timer
  ends a run of errors that falls silent.

Copy lib/http-server (dynamo-http-server) unchanged from #17178 at
0953287, so the Global Discovery Service can serve on it: TLS and mTLS,
graceful draining, write timeouts and connection handling. #17178 also moves
dynamo-llm onto this crate; this copy leaves dynamo-llm as it is.

Adds the global-discovery-service binary, which serves pool discovery for
the Global Router over HTTP: POST /pools (a PoolRelay registers its pool,
and each call is also its heartbeat), GET /pools, GET /routers and
GET /healthz. --store picks the store: memory, karmada or mcs.

It serves on dynamo-http-server, which adds optional TLS and mTLS
(--tls-cert-path, --tls-key-path, --tls-client-ca-cert-path). On shutdown
it lets requests in flight finish.

The service grew from the POC in #16714, through #15949. It leaves out
checking who calls POST /pools: V1 trusts the network, so no store used the
caller. A pool's relay_identity, which routers use to admit its PoolRelay,
still comes from MCS. An invalid pool key or a blank model in POST /pools
is a 422, like any other invalid body, because both are checked while the
JSON is read.

…l Discovery Service

Copied from the POC in #16714 and updated for this crate's binary:
- container/Dockerfile.global-discovery-service builds
  global-discovery-service from dynamo-global-discovery-service into a
  CPU-only Debian image, as the POC did for its own binary.
- container/global-discovery-service.yaml deploys it on the hub with the
  Karmada store, the router Service global-router and its port http, as
  the test deployment in #17278 does. It needs only read access to
  EndpointSlices. Logging is set with DYN_LOG, which the service reads,
  instead of RUST_LOG.

The Dockerfile is owned by the global router and ops teams, like other
component Dockerfiles, and the manifest by the global router team.

…ifest's prerequisites

- --pool-service-suffix rejected a value given as a separate argument, as
  every suffix starts with a hyphen ("-pool-gateway"), and accepted an
  empty one, which made every imported Service a pool. It now takes the
  former and refuses the latter.
- The manifest says what the Karmada store needs: a ServiceImport in this
  cluster for each pool's PoolRelay Service and for the router Service, or
  a kubeconfig for the Karmada control plane. It also says what the
  --router-* arguments must name.
- A preStop sleep keeps the service answering while the Pod leaves the
  Service's endpoints. The service has no in-flight requests to drain, so
  it stops accepting connections as soon as it gets SIGTERM.

The shared `Lease` no longer caps the lease at a day (#17330), because a
client should follow any lease it is given. The service still needs a
bound: its stores add the lease to the current time, which a lease near
`u64::MAX` seconds would overflow. `--lease-duration-secs` now refuses
anything over a day at startup, as its help already said.

The stores now take the `PoolRegistration` a PoolRelay sends, return the

to and from a record type of its own. `GET /pools` lists each pool's
`relay_identities`, and the Kubernetes stores use `McsReplicaDirectory`.

The Kubernetes stores count a failing watch as recovered after 120 s
without an error, which holds only if each failed attempt ends within
90 s. kube's defaults are 30 s to connect and 295 s to read. The client
now connects within 10 s and reads within 75 s, and a compile-time check
keeps the two under 90 s. The stores' watches end after 50 s, so a
working watch never reaches the read timeout.

Also give DiscoveryStore a Debug impl.

From Neelay Shah's review:
- PoolKey's first field is cluster_id, not site_id, in Rust and in JSON.
  It is the cluster ID the pool's PoolRelay runs with (--cluster-id,
  DYN_CLUSTER_ID), so a pool key and its relay share one name. Where MCS
  also reports the pool, that ID must be the cluster's name in the
  ClusterSet, and the doc says so. Pool IDs do not change: the deriver
  hashes the values, not the field names.
- PoolLocation drops cluster, which the key carries.
- ReplicaEndpoint, ReplicaId and ReplicaEvent become RouterReplica,
  RouterReplicaId and RouterReplicaEvent, since relays and workers have
  replicas too. Their JSON does not change.
- WatchEvent::Added becomes Upserted, Lease::lease_duration() becomes
  duration(), and Capacity.count becomes workers, in JSON too.

Lease is now #[must_use], as the client's copy was, so the client keeps
that check when it moves onto this type.

From the review threads: a test, from Dmitry Tokarev's review, that a
reader skips unknown fields and fills missing lists, and two duplicate
assertions removed. A pre-push review added a test that a reply without
its list does not parse, so an empty body never reads as "no routers".

Neelay Shah and Jacob Ioffe asked on #17208 that its client move onto
dynamo-global-common in this PR, so two PoolKey definitions never sit on
main together. lib/global-discovery-client drops its own copies of the
JSON types, router replicas and watch events. It re-exports the shared
types its calls send and return, with their error types; the watch types
come from dynamo-global-common. Its calls and errors do not change.

What it sends follows the shared types: the key's cluster_id, a location
without cluster, and capacity in workers. A PoolKey is built with
PoolKey::new, which checks its fields.

Karmada v1.19 imports a Service as derived-<name>, and puts that name in
each imported slice's kubernetes.io/service-name label. A Service name
and a label value may have at most 63 characters, so Karmada imports
nothing for a name over 55: neither the derived Service nor its slices
appear. The store used 57, the length at which Kubernetes starts to
shorten slice names, but Karmada already fails at 56.

KARMADA_MAX_SERVICE_NAME is now 63 minus the "derived-" prefix, and a
test pins it at 55. McsReplicaDirectory logs an error when Karmada
cannot import the router Service, since none of its replicas would be
listed. The warning for a slice that does not say its cluster no longer
blames the Service name's length.

McsReplicaDirectory reads any exported Service, not only the router's;
the PR stacked on this one also reads the service's peers through it.
Its error for a name Karmada cannot import, and the module doc that
points to it, no longer say "router". The doc also names the default
suffix behind the 44-character DGD limit, -pool-relay.

The base reworded its Karmada name check for any exported Service, not
only the router's. No conflicts.

…gistration-storage

--store mixed two choices. It is now one flag for each:
- --pool-discovery: where the pool and router lists come from. Either
  the registrations PoolRelays send (registrations, the default), or the
  EndpointSlices MCS imports, named the Karmada way (karmada) or the
  standard way (mcs). karmada and mcs are the values of the operator's
  mcsImplementation in #17412.
- --registration-storage: where registrations are kept. Only memory for
  now; DynamoDB or Kubernetes can come later.

--help groups the flags that work with only some --pool-discovery values,
and such a flag given with another value fails at startup instead of
being ignored, for example --router with karmada. The service's
DiscoveryStore is now DiscoveryBackend, the backend behind the API, since
pools from MCS are not stored. The manifest uses --pool-discovery=karmada.

…eview

- DiscoveryBackend is now PoolDiscoveryBackend: dynamo_runtime, a
  dependency of this crate, already has a public DiscoveryBackend, for
  Dynamo's own discovery.
- A flag for another --pool-discovery value fails whatever set it, not
  only the command line. A test checks that every flag either works with
  every value or sits under one of the two --help headings, so a new flag
  cannot skip the check. In this PR karmada and mcs take no
  registrations, so --registration-storage sits under the registrations
  heading too.
- With karmada or mcs, clap itself requires --router-namespace,
  --router-service and --router-port-name, so every mistake in the flags
  gives a clap error and exit code 2.
- The 501 for POST /pools no longer says the pools come from MCS: the
  HTTP layer does not know why a backend takes no registrations. lib.rs
  no longer lists the endpoints, which service.rs documents.
- The tests check the error kind and the flag named, and each router
  flag's requirement on its own. Breaking the refusal, counting defaults
  as given, dropping a heading or a requirement, or swapping the modes
  each fails a test.

… stores

What implements the pool discovery contract is a backend: MCS is read,
not stored into. The crate, contract and MCS docs now say "backend". The
memory backend's docs still call MemoryPoolStore a store, since it does
keep registrations.

The base now calls the discovery implementations backends, not stores.
lib.rs conflicted: kept this PR's list, which adds the HTTP service and
PoolDiscoveryBackend; both sides had the same backends line.

…Discovery Service

Adds `--registration-storage dynamodb` as an alternative to `memory` for
`--pool-discovery registrations`. Registrations live in one DynamoDB
table that any number of service replicas share, in one region or across
regions through a Global Table, so the service survives restarts and
lists `complete: true` from its first read.

One item per pool key; `register` is one unconditional UpdateItem
(last writer wins, as with the memory store); leases are evaluated at
read time on the reader's clock with a skew allowance; the TTL attribute
is garbage collection only; `list_and_watch` polls the table and diffs.
Six new flags under the registrations heading, a `Clock` abstraction for
deterministic tests, a conformance suite shared with the memory store,
dynamodb-local integration tests gated by GDS_TEST_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT, a
crate README, a design doc, two docs-site pages, an example manifest and
code ownership.

Review comments at @container/global-discovery-service-dynamodb.yaml:
- Line 14: Update the coverage-only ignore filter so each of the three new
container files is explicitly classified; do not rely on the catch-all pattern,
which is excluded from coverage reporting.

Review comments at
@docs/fern/pages/kubernetes/kv-aware-routing/global-discovery-service-storage.md:
- Around line 132-137: Add a warning near the deployment example that POST
/pools must remain on a trusted network because it permits registration or
overwrite by any caller; link to the existing TLS/mTLS configuration reference
rather than duplicating its details.

Review comments at
@docs/fern/pages/reference/components/global-discovery-service-configuration.md:
- Line 125: Update the `complete` table entry to describe the flag’s actual
behavior for each store without claiming that it guarantees every pool is
listed; note that DynamoDB may report `true` despite missing pools because its
query is eventually consistent and undecodable items are skipped. Clarify that
clients must not treat the flag as an authoritative inventory.
- Line 68: Replace the “All bodies are JSON” statement with an endpoint-specific
description: identify successful data responses as JSON and retain the note that
readers ignore unknown fields where applicable; document plain-text responses
for POST /pools invalid keys (422), unconfigured registrar (501), and backend
errors (503), plus backend-error 503 responses from GET /pools and GET /routers.
State that GET /healthz has an empty body for both 200 and 503 responses.

Review comments at @lib/global-discovery-service/docs/dynamodb-store.md:
- Around line 149-150: Update the “copy wins” description to remove the
one-heartbeat freshness guarantee and state that replication delay or isolation
can leave a regional replica with a renewal older than one heartbeat,
potentially expiring while another region still accepts heartbeats. Add the same
limitation to the storage guide’s multi-region section, without implying
cross-region conditions prevent this behavior.

Review comments at @lib/global-discovery-service/src/backends/dynamodb.rs:
- Around line 314-324: Update the pool Query used by list() and refresh() to
request strongly consistent reads, preserving its existing key condition,
pagination, and error handling.

Review comments at @lib/global-discovery-service/src/main.rs:
- Around line 153-156: Bound the lease_skew_secs CLI argument to a validated
maximum that prevents expiry calculations from saturating, and reject larger
values during argument parsing. Preserve the existing default and ensure the
chosen bound is consistent with the lease-duration range used by the liveness
check.

The merge-base diff adds all three files, but no job-specific pattern in .github/filters.yaml matches them. The all: '**' catch-all is excluded from coverage by report.py, so the changed-files check reports each file as uncovered. Add explicit entries to the coverage-only ignore filter:

State the trusted-network requirement for POST /pools.

The registrar contract allows any caller to register or overwrite any pool. The storage guide does not state that the endpoint must remain on a trusted network. Add that warning near this deployment example and link to the existing TLS/mTLS configuration.

The configuration reference already documents the overwrite behavior and TLS/mTLS flags, so those details do not need to be duplicated. This is lower severity because the manifest uses the default ClusterIP Service, which limits default reachability to the cluster but does not authenticate callers.

Describe the non-JSON responses.

These responses are not JSON:

  • POST /pools returns plain text for 422 invalid keys.
  • POST /pools returns plain text for 501 when no registrar is configured.
  • GET /pools, GET /routers, and POST /pools return plain text for backend-error 503 responses.
  • GET /healthz returns an empty body for both 200 and 503 responses.

Replace the “All bodies are JSON” statement with an endpoint-specific description.

Do not define complete as a guarantee that every pool is listed.

The DynamoDB store returns Exact after an eventually consistent query, and it skips items that fail to decode. Therefore, complete: true can accompany a missing pool. Describe the actual flag behavior and its limitations so clients do not treat the response as an authoritative inventory. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the `complete` table entry to describe the flag’s actual behavior for
each store without claiming that it guarantees every pool is listed; note that
DynamoDB may report `true` despite missing pools because its query is eventually
consistent and undecodable items are skipped. Clarify that clients must not
treat the flag as an authoritative inventory.

copy wins is a complete, valid registration whose `renewed_at` is at most one
heartbeat old. There are no cross-region conditions to break.

Remove the one-heartbeat freshness guarantee.

A regional replica can fall behind during replication delay or isolation. Its last visible renewal can then be older than one heartbeat and can expire while another region still accepts heartbeats. Document this limit here and in the storage guide’s multi-region section. (docs.aws.amazon.com)

Use strongly consistent reads for the pool Query.

query() uses DynamoDB's default eventually consistent read. Both list() and refresh() depend on this read.

These failures can occur in one region:

  • register writes a pool, and a later poll on another replica can miss the write. The began guard in apply_poll covers only writes from this replica. A missed write from another replica makes the watch emit Removed and later Upserted for a live pool. The same sequence can also emit the old listing after the new one.
  • On this replica, a poll can start after the register write and still read a stale item. In that case, apply_poll replaces the newer Seen with the old hash. The watch then emits an Upserted event with the old listing. The next poll changes it back.
  • A POST /pools request followed by GET /pools can omit the pool or return the old model. The conformance case the_last_registration_wins depends on read-after-write. That case passes only because dynamodb-local is consistent.

Routers that consume the watch can briefly drop pools or flap between versions. A Query on the base table supports ConsistentRead. With a Global Table, cross-region lag remains, but each region becomes consistent with itself.

🐛 Proposed fix
                 .query()
                 .table_name(&self.table)
+                .consistent_read(true)
                 .key_condition_expression("#pk = :pk")

If you do not adopt this change, document the eventual-consistency window in docs/dynamodb-store.md.

Bound --lease-skew-secs. Very large values keep dead pools listed forever.

A skew above about 1.8 × 10^16 seconds saturates the expiry sum at u64::MAX. Every such pool then passes the liveness check, even after its lease ends. The flag accepts any u64, so this input is not rejected. The current code does not panic or wrap.

Bound the lease_skew_secs CLI argument to a validated maximum that prevents
expiry calculations from saturating, and reject larger values during argument
parsing. Preserve the existing default and ensure the chosen bound is consistent
with the lease-duration range used by the liveness check.
