Evaluate and retire the experimental runtime-log diagnostic gate #4350
Description
🤖 Generated by the Agentic Engineer
Part of #4349. The finite runtime-log diagnostic initially requires explicit experimental opt-in so its first operator use can be evaluated before routine adoption.
By 2026-10-09, review the merged diagnostic's real sample replay and subsequent operator feedback. Decide whether to graduate and remove the temporary gate, correct the diagnostic and keep a dated follow-up, or retire it if it provides no useful evidence. Remove the temporary gate and its documentation together when graduation is justified; preserve conservative pairing, private evidence and the separation from incident attribution.
Acceptance: record the operator evaluation and decision, ship any resulting change through a reviewed PR, and leave no undated experimental gate.
Reassessed 2026-10-10: the opt-in stays. Next reassessment 2026-10-24, or when #4329 closes, whichever comes first; it ends in a change either way (see the comment of 2026-10-10).

First real operator evaluation completed using a finite private capture from seven existing nodes through the existing authorized reader. Every capture succeeded, exact command and timing metadata was retained, and the node identities remained unchanged in the post-capture snapshot.
The analyzer reports 411 completed supported pairs, including 137 returns in the requested window and 16 pairs slower than five seconds. There are no failed completed pairs or truncated samples. It correctly returns
GAPS: the inputs contain malformed records, timestamp ordering gaps and ambiguous or incomplete pairs, and no stream brackets the entire requested window. These limits remain visible; successful capture is not complete request coverage.The known synthetic timing and conservative gap controls pass. Four reported elapsed times also match an independent nanosecond calculation. One sandbox sample can be joined through exact Pod, Job and CronJob UIDs; the other 13 sandbox samples lack a current live Pod join. This is useful bounded runtime evidence, while
CorootAttribution: UNPROVENremains correct.Decision: retain explicit experimental opt-in for the dated 2026-10-09 reassessment. The first real use does not yet justify routine adoption or removing the gate; independent request attribution and further operator feedback are still needed. No runtime or monitoring setting was changed, and raw logs, identities and the detailed report remain private. This issue stays open with its existing dated follow-up.

Reassessment due 2026-10-09, done 2026-10-10: keep the opt-in, one more dated period, then no further extensions
What I checked
mainata9c39fa7.Decision
The first evaluation set two conditions for routine adoption: an independent way to attribute requests, and further operator feedback. Neither has arrived, and nothing new argues for retiring the tool either, since its one real use produced numbers that matched an independent calculation. So the opt-in stays for now and no code changes.
Next reassessment: 2026-10-24, or when #4329 closes, whichever comes first. To stop this rolling forward, that one ends in a change either way:
Nothing in production was read or changed for this note.
