root 175ad59cb3 proof harness Phase D: performance baseline · 1000-row ingest, p50/p95
GOLAKE-100. First run writes tests/proof/baseline.json; subsequent
runs diff against it. >10% regression emits a SKIP with REGRESSION
detail (not a fail — perf claim is required:false in claims.yaml so
the gate stays green; the human summary tells the regression story
honestly). Skip-with-loud-reason if any earlier case in the run
failed, per spec "performance only after contract+integration pass."

Workload (deterministic, repeatable):
  ingest      1000-row CSV (5 roles × 5 cities × seeded scores) → /v1/ingest
  query       SELECT count(*) ×20 against the just-ingested dataset
  vector add  200 dim=4 vectors with formulaic content (no Ollama)
  search      ×20 against the perf index with a fixed query vector
  RSS         per-service post-workload sample via /proc/<pid>/status

Recorded metrics:
  ingest_rows_per_sec, query_p50_ms, query_p95_ms,
  vectors_per_sec_add, search_p50_ms, search_p95_ms,
  rss_{storaged,catalogd,ingestd,queryd,vectord,embedd,gateway}_mb

baseline.json on this box (committed):
  25000 rows/sec ingest · 17ms p50 / 24ms p95 query
  6250 vectors/sec add  ·  8ms p50 / 20ms p95 search
  queryd 69 MiB · vectord 14 MiB · others 11-29 MiB

Honest measurement-design finding from the very first compare run:
back-to-back runs surfaced -41% ingest and +29% query p50 — pure
disk-cache + queryd-cold-start noise. Single-sample baselines have
real noise floor ≈40%. Recorded as REGRESSION skips so the human
summary surfaces it, not a code regression. Tightening the threshold
or moving to multi-sample medians is a Phase E recommendation.

Verified end-to-end:
  just proof contract       —  53 pass  · 1 skip · ~4s
  just proof integration    — 104 pass  · 1 skip · ~8s
  just proof performance    — 110 pass  · 3 skip · ~10s
  just verify               —  9 smokes still green · 29s

All 11 cases (4 contract + 6 integration + 1 performance) deterministic
end-to-end. Phase E (final report against the 9 mandated questions)
is the last piece.

tests/proof — claims-verification harness

Per docs/TEST_PROOF_SCOPE.md. The 9 smokes prove that the system runs; this harness proves that the system makes the claims it claims to make.

Why this exists

Smokes verify that services boot, talk, and pass deterministic round-trips. They do not verify:

  • contract drift (a route silently changes its response shape)
  • semantic correctness (the SQL query says what we claim it says)
  • failure-mode discipline (a malformed request returns 4xx, not silent 200)
  • performance regressions (vectors/sec drops 30% on a refactor)

The proof harness produces evidence, not pass/fail. Each case writes input/output hashes, latencies, status codes, log paths, git SHA → a future auditor can re-run + diff.

Modes

just proof contract       # APIs, schemas, status codes; no big data; ~30s
just proof integration    # full chain CSV→storaged→…→queryd, text→embedd→vectord
just proof performance    # measurements only; runs after contract+integration

The just recipes wrap tests/proof/run_proof.sh with --mode <X>. Use the script directly for advanced flags (--no-bootstrap, --regenerate-rankings, --regenerate-baseline).

Hard rules (from TEST_PROOF_SCOPE.md)

  • Don't claim performance without before/after metrics
  • Detect Ollama unavailability; mark embedding tests skipped or degraded with explanation
  • Skipped tests do not appear as passed
  • No silent ignore of missing services
  • No external cloud dependencies
  • No "HTTP 200" assertions unless the claim is health-only
  • No random data without a seed

How to read a report

After just proof integration:

  1. Open tests/proof/reports/proof-<ts>/summary.md for the human view.
  2. summary.json is the machine-readable counterpart.
  3. To investigate a single failed assertion:
    • find its case_id in summary.md
    • read raw/cases/<case_id>.jsonl (each line is one assertion)
    • cross-reference raw/http/<case_id>/<probe>.{json,body,headers} for the underlying HTTP round-trip

Every record cites the git SHA at run time; a clean re-run of the same SHA against the same fixtures must produce identical evidence (modulo timestamps + non-deterministic embedding noise).

Reading order for new contributors

  1. docs/TEST_PROOF_SCOPE.md — the spec this harness implements.
  2. docs/CLAUDE_REFACTOR_GUARDRAILS.md — process discipline this harness must obey when extended.
  3. tests/proof/claims.yaml — what's claimed.
  4. tests/proof/cases/00_health.sh — canonical case shape; copy-paste to add new cases.
