Two lines of docs/occupancy/GradedStages.agda on main (from the #116 squash) still carry a draft placeholder: TH.[_] where TH.[] belongs. Agda refuses it at the parse, before checking anything else:

docs/occupancy/GradedStages.agda:77,59-80
Could not parse the application gone 9180 TH.∷ TH.[_]
Operators used in the grammar:
  TH.∷ (infixr operator, level 5)
when scope checking gone 9180 TH.∷ TH.[_]

So main's Occupancy typed peak job is red at scripts/check-occupancy.sh, and with it the graded reading the #116 squash landed. This PR is that fix and nothing else: TH.[_] → TH.[] in both places, 2 lines, no other change (git diff origin/main..HEAD = this file only).

How the error became readable

The job's log is served from storage this environment cannot reach, so #116 added annotate to scripts/check-occupancy.sh: every failure it diagnoses now emits a ::error line (with the prover's own last lines, escaped as the workflow-command syntax requires), and check annotations — unlike logs — are available through the API. That is how the parse error above was read back from run 38628333902. It stays silent outside Actions.

Why the first push looked different

The first run on #116 (d49c2e3) failed before the annotations existed, so its cause was never readable; the revision that added them (cf1b726) is what reported this parse error, and it is what the squash carried into main. Nothing else in the #116 change is affected: OccupancyTypes.Reclaim itself type-checks under this repo's flags — visible in the same job's log, which reaches my file only after checking Prelude, Core, HWM, Order, Reclaim and Timeline.

CI on this PR is the check: the typed-peak job must go green, and the disagreement job re-runs the recorded study as usual.

)

Fork issue #105: the probe recorded what a stage reached (`peak_rss_kib`,
`child_peak_rss_kib`) but nothing read an *occupancy* out of it, so a peak
could only be compared against a cost. This grades the samples with the
algebra the reading is stated in — `ResourceAlgebra.Instances.HWM`, whose
reclamation laws `OccupancyTypes.Reclaim` proves — and checks the peak the
algebra predicts against the one the samples measured.

## The grade, read from the samples

Two sample windows are now recorded per task (`first_sample`,
`last_sample`, set in `watch!`/`unwatch!`), and `finish!` attaches the
grades read from them as the record's `grades` key:

- `Grade(peak, drift)` with `drift ≤ peak`, `release = peak − drift`;
- `seq` — the suffix starts from the previous grade's drift,
  `max (peak a) (drift a + peak b)` (Reclaim.reclaim-law); `alt` is the
  componentwise join, kept for the pair of laws;
- `task_grades`, `stage_grade`, `predicted_peak_rss_kib`,
  `cost_bound_rss_kib`, `reclaimed_kib`, `disagreement`, `graded`.

Tasks are read in sampled order (first sample, ties by record order); a
task's drift is its peak when the next task started at or before its last
sample, and the last task keeps its peak only if it was still resident. A
record carrying no windows is left UNGRADED — `nothing`, skipped — never
graded on an assumed order. (The 2026-10-14 record itself carries none:
its windows come from `docs/occupancy/schedules.yml`, the file the gate
and the unit test both read.)

## What it reads out of the recorded run

`predicted_peak_rss_kib` reproduces the recorded stage peak in all three
orders — 9204, 9192 and 18380 KiB — and the slack against the cost bound
is what the cuts reclaimed: 9180, 9152 and 0 KiB. The prediction is an
upper bound (at a handover the task still live holds at most its peak), so
`disagreement` reports only what that bound forbids: a measured peak above
the prediction. `scripts/check-occupancy-grades.jl` checks the equality,
occupancy≤cost and non-negative reclamation against the record, and
`test/unit/test_occupancy_grade.jl` (plus the two-thread test's per-order
assertions) covers the laws, the two stage shapes and `finish!` itself.

## The same numbers, as theorems

`docs/occupancy/GradedStages.agda` consumes the pinned siblings
(occupancy-types `af95728`, resource-algebra `cf9235c`) and instantiates
three of `Reclaim`'s laws at the measured grades: `no-reclaim` on the
concurrent stage (drift = peak, so the peak is the sum), `reclaimed` on
the serial one (drift < peak with a non-empty suffix, so strictly below
cost), and `occupancy-at-cut` over the stage's timeline, plus
`protocol-occupancy≤cost` at every cut. Nothing is re-declared; the
Timeline names are Reclaim's own instance. `docs/occupancy/
reject/ConcurrentDriftIsZero.agda` is the negative control — grading the
concurrent stage's drift as 0 is refused — checked by
`scripts/check-occupancy.sh` beside TypedPeak.

## No ungraded readings

`scripts/lint-occupancy-readings.sh` fails if production code outside
`src/core/memory_probe.jl` names the `peak_rss_kib` key. It passes on this
tree; from here a stage's occupancy figure has to come from the helpers.

## Verification

No Julia or Agda in this environment, so the recorded arithmetic above was
emulated exactly (three orders, plus each fixture in the unit test) and the
Agda was written against the siblings' own checked sources, following the
import and proof style of `OccupancyTypes.Witness`, which
`occupancy-types/scripts/check-agda.sh` checks with the same flags. CI is
the verifier: ci.yml's unit run, and the occupancy workflow's new graded
reading and lint steps.

…ate CI failures

The occupancy workflow's typed-peak job failed on the first push (it passes
on main, so the failure is this change's). Its logs are served from blob
storage, which this environment cannot reach, so two things:

- `docs/occupancy/GradedStages.agda` now stands on its own names, the way
  `docs/occupancy/TypedPeak.agda` does: its own `module TH =
  OccupancyTypes.Timeline HWM` for every Timeline name, and the two
  protocol-level statements proved in that instance from the sibling's own
  halves — `Reclaim.cut-factor` over `reclaim-law`, and `occupancy≤cost`
  along `cut-factor` for `protocol-occupancy≤cost`, each proof the one
  `OccupancyTypes.Reclaim` gives for the same statement. The Grade-level
  laws (`no-reclaim`, `reclaimed`, `occupancy≤cost`) were already cited as
  they stand. Nothing re-declared, nothing borrowed across instances.

- `scripts/check-occupancy.sh` now emits a `::error` annotation on every
  failure it diagnoses (each module, both rejection failure modes, the
  counted-bytes comparison), with the prover's own last lines escaped as
  the workflow-command syntax requires. Annotations, unlike job logs, can
  be read back through the API, so a failure that happens only in CI is
  visible from a machine that cannot download the log. Silent outside
  Actions, so local runs are unchanged.

A draft placeholder survived into the checked proof, and Agda refuses it at
the parse: `Could not parse the application gone 9180 TH.∷ TH.[_]` — read
back from the run's annotations, which the script now emits (the job log
itself is served from storage this environment cannot reach).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Occupancy records can now include task sample windows, predicted peak memory, a cost bound and reclaimed memory.
    • Memory predictions account for whether tasks run sequentially or overlap, and can be compared with measured peaks.
  • Documentation
    • Added examples and proofs covering sequential and concurrent task memory usage, along with updated measurement and reproduction details.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved checks for occupancy measurements, including reporting mismatches between predicted and measured peaks.

The change adds task sample-window recording and occupancy grade calculations. It adds Agda proofs, checks grades against recorded runs, and updates the occupancy workflow to run the new checks and lint script.

Changes: Occupancy grading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sample windows and runtime grades
src/core/memory_probe.jl, test/unit/test_occupancy_grade.jl, test/occupancy_disagreement_test.jl, test/runtests.jl
MemoryProbe records task sample windows and derives task and stage grades, predicted peaks, cost bounds, reclaimed memory, and disagreements. Tests cover grade operations, windowed records, finish!, and recorded task data.
Formal grade and timeline proofs
docs/occupancy/GradedStages.agda, docs/occupancy/reject/ConcurrentDriftIsZero.agda, scripts/check-occupancy.sh
The Agda modules prove peak and cost relationships for measured stages and add a rejected zero-drift claim. The check script type-checks the new module and emits annotations for failures.
Recorded-run checks and CI wiring

The grade checker compares calculated values with recorded measurements and schedules. The lint script restricts production reads of peak_rss_kib to src/core/memory_probe.jl. The workflow runs both checks, and the documentation describes the schedules, results, and reproduction commands.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e4c5c

The new occupancy grades can misreport predicted peaks, reclaimed memory or disagreements in recorded stage provenance. Specific task timing patterns trigger this. The validation fixtures pass, but these recording and grading edge cases should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e4c5c

The changes add optional memory-usage grading and validation without an observed increase in access or execution privileges. Remaining risk concerns measurement correctness and compatibility with consumers of the newly persisted values.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected incremental runtime exposure is occupancy metadata for enabled stages, plus execution of additional checks in the existing CI jobs. No new tenant, credential, service, or data-store authority was identified along these paths; external access to attestation files remains unestablished.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new lint treats source matches as quoted text, not executable commands. It runs in the existing push and pull-request workflow, which retains read-only contents permission and disables persisted checkout credentials.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The existing process wrapper kills a still-running child when waiting fails and unregisters it in finally. Sequential stage success, failure, and cleanup paths reuse the cached occupancy record; the new grading logic does not replace those cleanup controls.

Preserve the first child’s start boundary.

If a labelled task starts children sequentially, t.live is empty before each later child. This assignment replaces the first child’s start boundary with the later child’s boundary. Task ordering and overlap can then exclude activity that the task actually recorded. Set first_sample only for the first child registered to the task.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not use zero for a started task’s sample boundary.

If two workers register children before either _sample! call increments p.samples, both tasks receive first_sample == 0. _overlaps then treats the second task as never started. The probe can report a disagreement even when its sample measured both children together. Use a boundary representation that distinguishes “started before sample 1” from “never started”.

Expire earlier drift before grading a later handover.

Consider tasks A, B and C with windows [1,3], [2,10] and [4,5], and peaks of 100, 1 and 100 KiB. A overlaps B but exits before C starts. This code gives A and B their full peaks as drift; foldl(seq, grades) consequently predicts 201 KiB, although the largest simultaneous sum is 101 KiB. The reported reclaimed amount is also too small. Track which earlier tasks remain live at each boundary instead of retaining all earlier drift.

…he reviewer's example (stacked on #117) (#118)

Stacked on #117 (base is that branch, so this diff is the delta only,
not #117's work). #117 is the right fix; this is what its fix left
behind. If you would rather have these three files folded into #117
itself, ask CodeRabbit to apply them there — this session can only push
its own branch.

## The audit of CodeRabbit's guidance on #117 (all three findings)

| # | Finding (🟠 Major) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | **Preserve the first child's start boundary** — `isempty(t.live)
&& (t.first_sample = …)` re-stamped the window on every later child that
found `live` empty | **Fixed** by 05e56e7: `t.processes == 1 &&
(t.first_sample = p.samples + 1)`, set once per task |
| 2 | **Do not use zero for a started task's boundary** — two workers
registering before any `_sample!` both got `first_sample == 0`, which
`_overlaps` reads as never started | **Fixed** by 05e56e7: boundary is
`p.samples + 1` (≥ 1), and `_overlaps` now also requires `prev[1] != 0`.
The pid push and the boundary are set under the same lock acquisition
that precedes the first sample that can see the child, so `first_sample`
is exactly the first sample that could count it — no off-by-one remains
to chase |
| 3 | **Expire earlier drift before grading a later handover** (the
A/B/C `201` vs `101` example) | **Fixed** by 05e56e7: per-boundary live
sets, per-task drift as the signed delta of the live sum. Verified
independently below |

**Verification of #3** — the branch head's `_grades_and_labels` emulated
against an independent reading of the windows (a task is live at instant
`t` when `t ∈ [first, last]`, or `t ≥ first` while `last = 0`):

- the reviewer's own case, windows `[1,3] [2,10] [4,5]`, peaks `100, 1,
100`: drifts `[100, −99, −1]`, **predicted 101**, cost 201, reclaimed
100 — the `201` is gone;
- exhaustive over n ≤ 3 tasks with peaks 0–3 (**219,660** cases) and
300,000 random records up to six tasks: the fold **equals** the largest
simultaneous peak sum for every record the probe can write, and is
**never below** it otherwise — so `disagreement` still means "measured
above anything the windows allow";
- every task keeps `drift ≤ peak` (no `ArgumentError` path), the folded
drift stays ≥ 0, and the recorded run's figures are unchanged: 9204 /
9192 / 18380 KiB, reclaimed 9180 / 9152 / 0 — so
`scripts/check-occupancy-grades.jl` and the two-thread test's per-order
assertions still hold.

## What is still wrong after that fix (this PR)

- **`docs/occupancy-2026-10.adoc` documented the replaced rule**: "a
task's drift is its peak when the next task still held it, and 0 when it
had exited". It now states the boundary rule — each handover keeps only
the tasks still live at it; `drift_kib` is the change in that live sum,
negative when the boundary also releases an earlier task; `release_kib`
is everything freed between its start and the next boundary and can
exceed the task's own peak; the folded drift is the peaks still live at
the stage's end. The signed per-task delta is named as the extension
`ResourceAlgebra.Instances.HWM`'s header records as **H-2**; the
instance's own `drift` is the non-negative live sum. The
`first_sample`/`last_sample` bullet is pinned to the probe's own
wording.
- **The reviewer's example was not a test.** It is now, verbatim: drifts
`[100, −99, −1]`, predicted 101, cost 201, reclaimed 100, and — the
sharpened bound — 201 KiB resident at once is asserted to be the
*disagreement*, where before the fix it was the prediction.
- **`src/core/memory_probe.jl`'s own grading comment** said drift was
"the net change …" and `release` was "what the frontier reclaims"; both
now say precisely what the arithmetic does.

Comment-and-docstring changes only in `src/`; no behaviour change. The
occupancy workflow re-runs the recorded study on this branch anyway (the
path filter matches).

…ecks can be required

#116 merged with this workflow's "Occupancy typed peak" check red (its
squash carried a draft `TH.[_]` placeholder; #117 fixed the proof),
because nothing required the check to pass first -- and nothing could
have: the pull_request trigger was path-filtered, so the check never
posted on PRs that touch no occupancy file, and a required check that
never posts can never be satisfied.

The path filter now lives in an `Occupancy relevance` gate job: the
workflow runs on every PR, the gate diffs the change against the same
file list (plain `case` globs; a third-party paths-filter action is
refused by the account's allow-list), and the two heavy jobs run only
when it matches -- posting `skipped` otherwise, which a required check
counts as satisfied. All three job names are stable identifiers with no
matrix, as test_install_pins.jl asserts for every job in every workflow.

Branch-Floor can then require `Occupancy relevance` (itself included:
a failed gate skips its dependents, and a skipped check satisfies a
requirement -- the gate is the one check that must not be skipped
silently), `Occupancy disagreement test`, `Occupancy typed peak`,
alongside ci.yml's `Julia tests` and `Agda proofs`. That ruleset change
is a settings change, kept out of this PR on purpose.

…ecks can be required (#125)

## What this changes

#116 merged with this workflow's "Occupancy typed peak" check red (its
squash carried a draft `TH.[_]` placeholder; #117 fixed the proof),
because nothing required the check to pass first -- and nothing could
have: the `pull_request` trigger was path-filtered, so the occupancy
checks never posted on PRs that touch no occupancy file, and a required
check that never posts can never be satisfied. The Branch-Floor ruleset
requires nothing today; ci.yml's header already documents this trap for
its own job names.

The PR path filter now lives in an `Occupancy relevance` gate job:

- the workflow runs on **every** pull request, so all three of its
checks always post;
- the gate diffs the change against the same file list with plain `case`
globs (a third-party paths-filter action would be refused by the
account's allow-list; in a case pattern `*` crosses `/`, so
`docs/occupancy/*` is the old `docs/occupancy/**`);
- `Occupancy disagreement test` and `Occupancy typed peak` run only when
the gate says relevant, and post `skipped` otherwise -- which a required
check counts as satisfied;
- the push trigger keeps its native `paths:` filter, so pushes to main
still run this only when they should.

All three job names are stable identifiers with no matrix, as
`test/unit/test_install_pins.jl` asserts for every job in every
workflow.

## What this enables (kept out of this PR on purpose)

Once merged, Branch-Floor can require `Occupancy relevance` (itself
included: a failed gate skips its dependents, and a skipped check
satisfies a requirement silently -- the gate is the one check that must
not be skipped), `Occupancy disagreement test`, `Occupancy typed peak`,
alongside ci.yml's `Julia tests` and `Agda proofs`. That ruleset change
is a settings change and will follow separately.

## How to run its tests

From the repository root:

```
julia --project=. test/unit/test_install_pins.jl
```

All 223 assertions pass locally (the gate job satisfies the every-job
stable-name and no-matrix rules and uses the pinned `actions/checkout`
SHA). CI on this PR is the full check: this PR touches `occupancy.yml`
itself, so the gate must mark it relevant and both heavy jobs must run.

## What this leaves out

No ruleset change (above), no change to the heavy jobs' contents, and
the two startup_failure-era path lists (push trigger, gate patterns)
necessarily duplicate each other -- push filtering cannot be scripted,
and the gate's list is documented as the pull_request half.

## Versions tested

Julia 1.13.1 (local; CI pins 1.12.5 per `tool_versions.yml`). Bun, R and
Agda untouched by this change -- CI runs the pinned ones.
