* vgsp-sema: SESSION 132 ring-latch truth + per-client util witnesses - the ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson5 hours
| | | | r759 false positive is fixed at three points: (1) a ring candidate whose entry0 push provably reads all-zero through the client's own page tables is rejected when the VAS walk resolves the ring VA to a page with a live entry (svc_ring_entry_dead + svc_ring_walk_live, applied at the userd-derived, FB-convention and existing-pin paths; the walk cannot vote for itself); (2) svc_gr_ring_candidate now rejects dead-entry candidates too and accepts the channel's known USERD cross-aperture (r759: ring in guest RAM 0x11623d000, USERD in vidmem 0xb0000, so the walk-resolved ring failed the same-aperture USERD probe); (3) the util sweep arbitrates a dead channel-path ring entry against the direct VAS walk per slot. Also: util-dec/util-sweep witness budgets and their dedup keys become per-client (reset in svc_session_flush) and the sema-copyent witness logs once per copy op instead of per row (a 480-row frame copy alone exhausted the 128/session budget and hid every later copy, including any SASS upload)

* vgsp-sema: SESSION 130 xlate regression bisect - the r727 translator ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson6 hours
| | | | regressions were re-tested on a fresh boot: with the translator ON and the utility sweep OFF, victory_saxpy and victory_math PASS with checksums identical to the gate-off baseline (saxpy csum=981440890.500000), so the SESSION 129/130 sweep changes fixed the saxpy/math half; the remaining xlate-on regression is victory_multikernel, whose physical forward times out repeatedly (GR LAUNCH FAILED ... qmd_rel=0xc0ffee01, hold active), so the default stays 0 until that forward path is fixed. The UTILITY SWEEP is the other regression source (util_scan=24 broke saxpy bad=1047527 and hung math) and stays opt-in until its channel reads prefer the direct walk
* vgsp-sema: SESSION 130 zero-payload application + tail-arbitration witness - ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson6 hours
| | | | a zero-headed tail-served payload is now applied under a variant once-key (h | 1) instead of being refused forever (the destination is empty, so authoring zeros is idempotent and correct for the driver's internal zero buffer, whose 256 B i2m equals GF100_ZERO_BUFFER_SIZE exactly), while a later non-zero payload for the same entry still matches its own (h) key and lands; the utildec witness now carries alt=success/tries so a walk-read that fails is distinguishable from one that returns zero
* vgsp-sema: SESSION 130 util-channel LOAD_INLINE_DATA arm FIXED - the subch-2 ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson7 hours
| | | | GRCE operand group was swallowed by the TURING-copy branch (its `subch >= 2` guard also matches subchannel 2, leaving have_out/line_len unset so the LID arm never fired: r739 witness `lidn=1 subch=2 saw=0 dst=0 ll=0`); the 0x180..0x18c group now parses FIRST for subch 1|2, plus tail-content arbitration (a zero-headed channel tail is re-read through the direct registered-VAS walk before the arm's zero-refusal can stall the upload) and the witness now carries the served tail's first two words + the alt-read counter
* vgsp-sema: SESSION 129 util-channel LOAD_INLINE_DATA arbitration + witness - ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson15 hours
| | | | the subchannel-2 arm never fired (r737 writes=0) because the utility channel's read path could not produce a parseable methods entry (the tail-served split shape); the util sweep now arbitrates attempt A (channel path, unchanged) against attempt B (direct registered-VAS walk, the walk_probe-proven path) and lets the strict parse choose the stream, a still-zero tail-served payload is refused (no once-store, retried every pass; in-push payloads untouched), and a bounded deduplicated sema-utildec witness names per distinct entry: winning attempt, both parses, tail VA/length, LID header count/subch and the arm's saw/fired/zero state
* vgsp-sema: SESSION 128 utility/copy-channel inline-download sweep ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson16 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (sema_gr_util_scan, default 0) - decode the driver's engine-side MME/i2m upload path and materialize LOAD_INLINE_DATA downloads and pitch copy-ins from channels the put-bounded entry loop never decodes The Vulkan client's code/constant uploads leave the utility channels (the MEM2MEM/A140 composite at h=0xbeef0100 and the eng=11/12 copy channels) and were invisible to the emulation: with an unresolved USERD the put-bounded entry loop skips those channels entirely (the !userd_ok branch continues), and with a resolved USERD the main decode's operand group and LOAD_INLINE_DATA arms only accept subchannel 1 while the uploads ride the mem2mem/copy subchannels (2/4). svc_gr_util_sweep scans up to sema_gr_util_scan (default 0 = off; requires sema_gr_xlate) GPFIFO entries of every channel directly, reads each push plus its successor as the tail (the driver's source-view GPFIFO call carries the payload of a trailing LOAD_INLINE_DATA run - observed beef0100 idx00->idx01 and idx08->idx09), and feeds them through svc_gr_ahead_push in a new inline-only mode: the GRCE/INLINE_TO_MEMORY operand group now also accepts the mem2mem subchannel, the QMD window, release and copy-pend arms are skipped, and a TURING_DMA_COPY_A launch on the copy subchannels materializes the engine copy-in (src from the client's staging buffer through the trusted read, dst through the same svc_grce_inline_write the GR sweep uses) instead of queueing a launch copy-out. Every materialization is once-only keyed by (push_va, content hash, dst, bytes); SVC_AHEAD_TAIL_INLINE_MAX rises 4 KB -> 32 KB so the 12 KB code-staging payload is not truncated. Verified on r737 (gated): the sweep runs for all ten channels (utility, CE and GR) with bounded reads and no release/QMD state changes; the utility channel is swept 14 entries per pass. The LOAD_INLINE_DATA arm on the utility channel's subchannel-2 runs still does not fire (payload/parse witness is the next debug item, see Handoff SESSION 128).
* vgsp-sema: SESSION 127 follow-up - gate the C5C0 translator behind ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson17 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sema_gr_xlate (default 0) The r727 full battery with the translator active but ungated regressed three clients (saxpy bad=1047527, math sums=0, multikernel hang) while r729 with the translator's semantics gated off is clean on the same subset (mail, saxpy, math OK; multikernel still stalls in its pre-existing flaky class). All translator behaviour is now behind sema_gr_xlate (default 0 = exactly the historical sweep): - the tail-aware method parse (tail passed only when enabled), - the sweep's inline-QMD accumulation, LOAD_INLINE_DATA materialization, C5B5 copy capture and candidate-owned release withholding, - the client-VAS walk fallbacks in svc_gr_page_note / svc_gr_req_fill, - the inline-rec filter at capture (keeps resolvable or QMD-named recs when enabled; historical keep-all when off), - the pump's sweep-captured-launch request and copy fallback. sema_gr_xlate=1 restores the full translator (r730 re-verified: launch captured, page-notes, copy pend/done, submit refused n_data=0, release authored, client completes). Flip the default once the two CUDA-side hazards (stale-VAS resolution widening, rec-filter interaction) are eliminated and the battery is proven clean with it on.
* vgsp-sema: SESSION 127 C5C0 TRANSLATOR v1 - the Vulkan compute launch ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson18 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | captured, filled and forwarded (and its copy-out executed) through the CUDA QMD machinery The Vulkan client's compute dispatch is an inline-QMD launch that lives in the PRE-BUILT ring continuation beyond GP_PUT (the earlier analysis only inspected the put-bounded pushes' idx7/idx12 and concluded 'no inline QMD'): beec0100 idx23 carries SET_INLINE_QMD_ADDRESS_B (0x31c = 0x4b85f, the upper half absent) plus the 64-word LOAD_INLINE_QMD_DATA (0x320) run - grid 40x30, prog=0xdfd8feb900 (the SASS page), param=0x4b86000, release0=0x4b85e08/1 - and idx24 carries the TURING_DMA_COPY_A (0xC5B5, subch 4) image->buffer copy-out (src=0xdfd8d60000 dst=0x050b0000, 640x480 RGBA rows) plus the SEND_PCAS schedule (0x2b4 = qmd>>8, 0x2bc = SCHEDULE). Pieces landed (all service-thread, all bounded/logged): - svc_gr_ahead_push (the sema_gr_ahead sweep parser) is now a strict tail-aware translated decode of one continuation entry: it accepts a method stream whose final inline run is completed from the NEXT ring entry (the driver splits big LOAD_INLINE_DATA payloads into a dedicated data slot entry: beef0100 idx00->idx01 256 B, idx08->idx09 12288 B), feeds the C5C0 inline-QMD window to svc_qmd_accum (capture via the standard CUDA QMD candidate), materializes GRCE/KEPLER_INLINE_TO_MEMORY_B LOAD_INLINE_DATA writes into the VA shadow exactly like the main decode (once-only keyed; recorded in the dst ring for the fill's inline-served pages), parses the C5B5 copy operands (0x400/0x404/0x408/0x40c/0x410/0x414/0x418/0x41c, 0x300 LAUNCH_DMA, 0x700/0x708 remap) into a pending copy list, and queues the release groups minus a release a live launch candidate owns (that word belongs to the completion edge, so the client's fence can never clear on a pre-render image). - The parser reads the run data words correctly (w3 fix; the GRCE 0x18c operand was being read from the next run's header word, which sent the 1568 B parameter-bank write to a bogus destination). - svc_qmd_accum: accept the ADDRESS_B-only inline-QMD form (implicit zero upper half) so qmd_dev_va is real for the Vulkan launch. - svc_gr_page_note + svc_gr_req_fill: resolve a client-VAS page through the registered-VAS walk when the trusted sources do not carry it (the Vulkan QMD's program/parameter/descriptor pages are client-managed vidmem; the fill refused the whole launch with -ENOENT before this). - The QMD capture's inline recs are filtered to the pages the captured QMD names (a stale session-wide rec destination made the fill refuse with ENOENT va=0x80412000 qmd_word=NONE). - Pending GRCE copy-out list executed on the launch completion edge (svc_fwd_hold_gr_release and svc_fwd_outcome_check) before the guest release is authored, with a bounded no-forward fallback at the sweep; the copy itself runs through the standard svc_copy executor (observed: 'copy done h=0xbeec0100 dst=0x50b0000 bytes=0x12c000 rows=480 rc=0'). - The pump offers a sweep-captured launch every pass (svc_gr_request) - the continuation launch's only dispatch path - and retires pending copies when no forward is owed. - gsp_phys_gr_min_data (module param, default 16): the degenerate-data-set refusal threshold is now tunable; the Vulkan dispatch's operand set is a handful of records, not the CUDA-era 968. - Bounded witnesses for the request paths (first-N/periodic: no-candidate, backend-not-ready, hold-busy, inflight-busy, fill-ENOENT) and the capture tail dump is now sema_dbg-gated with a 4/boot budget (it flooded dmesg). Live status (r726, cycles r719..r726): the client runs green through the fence (VKFRAME seq/DONE/IDLE, 3 PPMs) with no in-flight client assist; the sweep captures the launch ('launch captured ... qmd=0x4b85f00 prog=0xdfd8feb900 param=0x4b86000'); the fill resolves the QMD pages (page-note src=walk) and now passes its ENOENT gate; the copy-out executes for every frame. The physical launch itself is still refused: the fill yields n_data=0 because the launch's operand CONTENT (the SASS at prog=0xdfd8feb900, the descriptor data) is delivered by the driver through the MME / inline-to-memory engine upload stream (beec0100 idx7/idx12, beef0100 idx08), which the emulation does not execute - the pages the QMD names stay zero in the emulated vidmem. That engine-side upload path is the next work item; sessions r719..r726, evidence in the handoff. No host reboots; 0 oopses; the fetch of the CUDA battery on a fresh boot follows separately.

| | | | PRE-BUILT ring continuation beyond GP_PUT (sema_gr_ahead, default 64): the live Vulkan client's fence waits never clear because the driver's kick boundary stops at the first batch (put=11) while the ring already carries the continuation entries (12..47) whose INC-5 RELEASE groups target the fence words - r716 ring dumps: beec0100 idx17 0x49035b0 len=1020 (group at +0x374 -> 0x45ba080), idx25/33/41/46 at 0x4903f5c/0x4904594/0x4904bb4/0x49051d4 (len 136/112 -> 0x45ba090), all beyond the GP_PUT-bounded walk; the sweep walks entries beyond put through the ring's validated GPFIFO translation, accepts only entries passing the strict method-stream gate (all fence entries parse), extracts addr-0x5c count>=5 RELEASE/REDUCTION groups and queues them forward-only via the standard pending ledger - no consumption bookkeeping touched, idempotent, gated by gr_pub_armed (live epoch) and rrc==0; also: sema-pushdec budget 512->2048/client (boot-time driver-init reads exhausted it before the client's first submit on r716) and chan_dump gains armed=%d

REMAINING GATE (session 125): vkWaitForFences still times out (~70 s of the client's 120 s bound, UMD-internal cap) even with all push releases applied - the fence wait word is NOT among the eleven released semaphores (released words verified 1 in RAM; the client's wait does not go through the eglcore+0xDCEBD9 device-wait-word chaser that carries the init wait at +0x80 of a 16 KB nvidiactl BO; 16 blind writes to zero wait-slots did not flip it). Next: enumerate the UMD wait-check helper via the vtable at the 0xDCEBD9 site (checkfn=*(*(void**)rbx+0x18)) and breakpoint it for every wait word, or trace the guest kernel poll(NV_DEVICE) handler for the fence object.

* r679: 0x2080a097 handler with runtime-tunable reply words (wall-2 session 75)Arthur Hanson Rasmusson33 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The guest Vulkan client (libnvidia-eglcore) issues RM control 0x2080a097 in a ~1.8 s retry loop while its engine-readiness check stays negative; the bare-metal oracle (same client on the host with the real driver) never issues it, so it is a vGPU-only path (engine type 0xe00101). The handler echoes the 1168-byte in/out record block and applies three module parameters - wall2_a097_flag/v488/v48c - so one boot can sweep reply variants without rebuilding (the client reads params +0x204, +0x488, +0x48c back; file offsets 0xecd45f..0xecd475 in libnvidia-eglcore.so.570.144). Sweep result so far: flag=1 with v488=0 or 1 does not stop the retry; the readiness wait lives in the client's engine loop (0xd6ef40..0xd6f0ab polling byte +0x1b038 of the engine object, recomputed by a91ea0 from engine-state fields), so the missing state is deeper than the reply words.

Root cause: the release records (svc_fwd_rel[]) are per-decode state (reset at the top of svc_decode_stream), and the two GR hold paths (busy-defer hold, m150 data-stalled hold) break out of the pump entry loop BEFORE the release block (hold-engage / inline apply) runs - so a held launch's records are dropped at the pass boundary. The eventual forward (queued from the capture ring at the defer cap, without a re-decode of the entry) then engaged the release hold with whatever records that pass happened to carry (often none, or another entry's). Live evidence: read_proc_va on the spinning client - 0x20480fff0 = 111 (payload 112 never applied), 0x204827f74 = 6 (QMD release delivered); host log - no sema-sw line for 0x20480fff0 val=0x70 anywhere. Fix (parked releases, keyed by vgpu/channel/push VA): both hold paths park the pass's records (svc_grpark_put) before their break; svc_gr_request restores the queued push's parked set into svc_fwd_rel[] at the consume point so the pump's hold-engage holds exactly those records; the two fail-closed REFUSED paths deliver the parked set inline; the session flush clears the table. Bounded log line "GR parked releases restored" (32/boot). Proven live: r633 first boot restored push=0x20043c1c8 n=1 va0=0x20480fff0 pay0=100; r633 mail now completes (VADD bad=0 checksum=12204516.000000, STATUS OK) on two consecutive fresh boots. Also r633: the r632 synthetic shadow caps were per-FILL-CALL and the fill re-runs on every retry pass, so one probe=none junk argument candidate could mint another 1024 synthetic pages per pass - the 8192-page shadow table filled within seconds of the r632 first launch (va-shadow 8192/8192, all synthetic, from the two 16 MB guessed spans of candidates no resolver ever answered), which then killed the lane for every later real page ("shadow table full ... write dropped"). Two changes: - ANCHOR GATE: a synthetic page is created only when the candidate's span already has >= 1 page answered by ipin/resolve/ledger. Existing H2D shadow content still serves unconditionally (the red-draw chain), and a real buffer's unresolved tail stays anchored by its resolved head. A candidate whose every page is answerless takes the historical drop path - its guessed span is not a buffer; - PER-EPISODE BUDGETS: the per-candidate (1024) and per-launch (4096) caps now persist per (push VA, span base) across the episode's passes, not per call. Measured r633: shadow table peak 2048/8192 (vs 8192/8192 full), 32 synthetic pages for the mail launch (vs 4041 junk-inflated n_data), the lane stays available for content serves. Diagnostics (bounded, one boot of evidence): "vgsp-work: gr-rel0 ..." names the release0 resolution chain (rel_pa/ap/hpa/word/pay/unobs) and "vgsp-gr: qmd-rel redirect: ..." names the backend redirect cause. The first live reading answers the release-target question: rel_hpa resolves (0x2fc495000), map_ret=0, unobs=0 - the redirect is the deliberate gsp_phys_rmcall_gr_rel_mod=1 default (m64 forced module-semaphore release), not a resolver failure. The r632 hang was the push-level release loss, fixed above. Build clean (kernel + r65535 warnings only).

For a scattered UVM host buffer the contiguity guess overwrote the true entries; the next copy of the same VA then followed the poisoned ledger (the non-pin DIVERGE branch keeps the ledger) and wrote client c-data into guest pages the kernel had since re-used. r623c evidence chain (saxpy D2H readback of 0x70e64e700000): sema-ledger: rewrite va=0x70e64e77f000 old=0x12e700000 new=0x115800000 504x sema-ledger: DIVERGE write ... prev=0x1158xxxxx cur=0x12e7xxxxx guest panic: kchannelGetGfid_IMPL+0x12, garbage 0x44560800445590f0 (IEEE754 floats 854.25/856.125 = client c-data in nvidia channel structs) Fix: the parity pass skips pages the per-page loop already stored (lookup guard); it only seeds pages the loop did not reach.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the release sits behind our own launch deferral The r34x acquire wait gate gives up (fail-open, ops run) after gsp_sema_wait_hold_ms with no satisfiable value, on the premise that the value cannot be installed by firmware alone. That premise is false while we are holding the launch that authors the release: the r612 streams2 capture gave up the D2H readback's acquire (ch=0x5c00005f va=0x20480ffe0 op=3 pay=4 cur=2 waited_ms=10333) while the vadd launches that release that semaphore sat deferred by the CE watermark for the full 15 s cap; the readback then ran BEFORE the kernels and the client read zeros (STREAMS bad=65534 even with the launches forwarded and GUEST GR LAUNCH OK). While any captured candidate is still unoffered (svc_gr_forward_pending), extend the episode up to wait-hold + SVC_GR_DEFER_CAP_MS + 5 s margin and log 'extend' instead of giving up. Every client-side timeout is >= 60 s, so a <= 24 s episode cannot strand the client; when no forward is pending the give-up is unchanged.
* vgsp-gr r612: refuse the defer cap only for a DEGENERATE argument fill - ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stalled decoy candidates must not kill a launch whose real operands resolved r586's fail-closed refused any launch still carrying unresolved argument pages at the 15 s cap. streams2 as the first client of a fresh boot (r611) shows the cost: its two launches carry candidates 0x783299000000 and 0x783297000000 that stall in EVERY source from the first fill (no pin, no walk, no ledger; 'stalled VA' listed, never resolving in the run) while 969 real pages resolve, the r543 arg-defer is pre-empted by the CE watermark defers, and at the cap both kernels are refused - STREAMS bad=65534 with the engine never running. Refuse only a degenerate fill (resolved < dropped - the r584 matmul shape, 2 resolved / 18 dropped, where the engine has no usable window). A non-degenerate fill at the cap forwards historically and loudly (fwd_gr_argfw witness): waiting longer cannot resolve a candidate stalled in every source, and by this point every copy-related guard (dstpend, CE watermark) has already had its chance and returned above when it fired.
* vgsp-gr r611: the stream-order watermark considers only op-carrying channels ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - sibling launch rings caused mutual deferral r607 made the CE submission watermark watch every other ring. That caught the copy channel the r568 class needs, but it also caught sibling GR LAUNCH channels, whose rings legitimately hold the client own future launches: streams2s two stream channels (h=0x5c00001f/23) each saw the others published entry as backlog, deferred for the full 15 s cap, and the r586 fail-closed then refused BOTH kernels (r610c streams2 as the first client of a fresh boot: every launch REFUSED, STREAMS n=32768 bad=65534). A channel that carries the client stream-ordered memory work is exactly a channel that has decoded a transfer op; measured across r606/r609/r610c, ops appear only on the 0x5c000059 copy family and the CE ranks, and the GR launch channels decode none. Mark it in the op-append block (ever_ops) and scope the watermark to those channels: the r606 red-draw copy channel stays in scope, the sibling launch rings no longer defer.
* vgsp-sema r610: a replay pass must not re-mark a copy entry as ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | operand-pending - the held-chain livelock The fail4 r302 block marks a denied device-destination copy op_tr_pending so the m163/opdef hold retries it. It fires on EVERY decode pass with allow=false - including a REPLAY pass, which is the pump re-walking an entry whose ops were already recorded complete for this identity (entry_replay = same && slot_ops_complete). The re-mark therefore un-completes a slot whose copy HAS run: the next pass is fresh, re-executes the op, the next pin-batch rewind re-marks it again - a replay/fresh/replay cycle that re-arms a 3 s opdef hold every round and stalls the whole copy channel behind it. Measured: 100% of the op_tr_pending marks in the r604-r609 boots came from replay passes (27/27 in r609; 71/71 in r606, whose captured held chain idx=90/92 is this shape; 72/72 in r608). In the r609 boot the d_b H2D entry (idx=94) was re-marked and re-run every ~0.3 s from 368841 while the vadd launch waited on it; the launch then hit the r586 fail-closed cap at 15 s and the engine never wrote (VADD bad=32767 csum=0). r308's rationale for the replay re-mark (pre-r595 the eng==0 copy channel's fresh passes never admitted ops, so the re-mark was the only retry hatch) no longer holds: r595's cap_trust admission runs a plausible copy on its fresh pass, and a genuinely failed copy keeps its slot incomplete via op_owed / the svc_run_ops rc!=0 pending rule. The whole denied accounting block (dstpend note, staging re-snapshot, pending mark, hold) is now skipped on replay; a fresh (non-replay) denied pass marks exactly as before.
* vgsp-sema r609: age the device-dst guard per channel burst - the r606 ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | held-chain serialization The m169 device-dst first-touch window is per PAGE, but the risk it covers is per client table build. The driver's H2D relocation burst on the eng==0 copy channel writes N distinct first-write pages back to back; because the pump holds the first held entry and the rest of the chain decodes only after it drains, each page paid its own 3 s window, serialized (r606 red draw: hold idx=90 362167.7->362170.8, idx=92 362177.7->362182.9, the b H2D entry ran 362182.882, 326 ms AFTER the launch forward -> VADD bad=32735 csum=8139264, c = a + 0). Every observed release logs 'without a pin': the pin the window waits for never arrives for this class. After ONE un-pinned release on a channel, age it (gsp_sema_copy_dst_age_ms, default 3000): further first-write device-dst pages of that channel inside the window run immediately with the walk translation - the exact translation the expired guard would have used anyway. The first page of every burst still pays the full window; only the N x window serialization is removed (~20 s of chain -> one window). Keyed by h_object like every channel table and cleared by the session flush (svc_dst_guard_reset; also clears the per-page slots, which are keyed by VA alone and must not pre-age the next client's first touch - the r604 lifetime lesson). 0 restores per-page windows (pre-r609).

(operand pending)' - the wait group (0x20480fff0 pay=84) passed every pass, so the only guard blindness was the engine_type filter: ceback=0 while the copy channel was provably behind. The r590 watermark now considers every other channel of the device (the launching channel itself is excluded: its ring legitimately runs ahead with future entries). Same pass snapshot, same bounded busy-defer; this guard never refuses - the r586 fail-closed branch is separate and fires only when argument pages never resolve. r595's GR-class ops admission has since cut hold resolution to 0.5-4.7 s (the captured 4.7 s), well inside the 15 s cap, so the deferral ends by forwarding with the copy executed. Companion to r605 (newest-registered-first walk within the class): r605 drains consumable published entries before the launch decision in the same pass; r607 defers the decision while any other ring still holds unconsumed entries (held chains included).
