A health check that finally measures something, and finds a bug
Head SHA: 9097fc9c49288aecba28d24a22a30e7b918d5245
This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.
tri stress --health was a stub, so the brain-ci health gate failed on every run as not measured. It now runs 17 behavioural probes over basal_ganglia, reticular_formation and locus_coeruleus and reports Score as the passed fraction; the probes found and this PR fixes a real EventBus.poll bug.
Merged PR. Checks reported by the author: 7 passed, 1 FAILED; this generator did not rerun them.
The problem
Why the gate was red: the command printed a not-implemented notice and no Score line, and #957 rightly refused to turn that absence into a zero.
How it works
What the score is: 100 times the passed fraction of 17 named probes over basal_ganglia, reticular_formation and locus_coeruleus, each on fresh instances and a leak-checking allocator.
The bug the probes caught: EventBus.poll applied max_events before the since filter, so a limited poll after old events returned nothing.
Two parser bugs in the workflow step: an ANSI escape read as a score of 32, and grep HEALTHY also matched UNHEALTHY, so every run looked healthy.
What stays red and why: the unit, integration and stress jobs call build steps that were deleted in April, which is now visible instead of hidden behind a cascade.
What changed
New src/tri/brain_health.zig: 17 probes on fresh private instances, each on a leak-checking allocator, printing Score: n/100 as 100 * passed / total and exiting 1 on any failure.
src/tri/tri_commands.zig: tri stress --health dispatches to the probes; the other stress modes still print a not-implemented notice.
src/brain/reticular_formation.zig: EventBus.poll applies max_events after the since filter instead of to the first events scanned, with a module test that fails on the old code.
brain-ci.yml health step reads only the number right after Score:, matches the whole Status: HEALTHY line, and annotates a passing run that had failed probes.
brain-ci.yml grants contents: read and pull-requests: write, because its PR-comment steps failed with 403 under the read-only default token.
How we checked
Check
Status
Result
Evidence
`zig build -Dci=true (zig 0.15.2)`
passed
Build finished with exit 0 in 1m58s and installed zig-out/bin/tri.
ls -la zig-out/bin/tri shows the 35 MB binary; the zig sources are unchanged since 3a27170.
`GitHub Actions brain-ci push run 37176194113 and PR run 37176287100, Brain Health Check job`
passed
Health step passed on both runs with Score: 100.0/100 and Status: HEALTHY on ubuntu-latest.
Job logs; the PR run then hit a 403 in Comment Health on PR, fixed by the permissions block.
`./zig-out/bin/tri stress --health`
passed
17 of 17 probes passed, Score: 100.0/100, Status: HEALTHY, exit 0 on 20 of 20 runs.
Probe rows and the Score and Status lines are quoted in the PR description.
`probes rebuilt against four mutated region sources (live-claim check, backoff cap, old poll, leaked string)`
passed
Every mutation exits 1 as UNHEALTHY with scores 88.2, 82.4, 94.1 and 94.1.
Negative-control table in the PR description names the failing probe and its message.
`zig test src/brain/reticular_formation.zig, basal_ganglia.zig, locus_coeruleus.zig`
passed
48/48, 51/51 and 52/52 tests pass; the new poll test fails on the base code with expected 1, found 0.
zig test summary lines; the base file with the new test reports 47 passed, 1 failed.
`health step run script, base vs head, over 10 inputs under bash -e with GNU sed`
passed
Score parsing, HEALTHY detection and the not-measured branches behave as in the verification table.
Verification table in the PR description; the ANSI row reads 94.1 now and 32 on the base.
`actionlint .github/workflows/brain-ci.yml`
passed
48 findings on both base and head, all info or style shellcheck notes, none introduced here.
44 SC2086 and 4 SC2129 on both versions of the file.
`zig build test-basal-ganglia -Dci=true`
FAILED
Fails with no step named test-basal-ganglia; the brain test steps left build.zig in #517.
Unit, Integration and Stress jobs will now run and fail on this separate pre-existing cause.
What this does not show
The score covers only the three brain regions linked into tri; other src/brain regions and load or soak behaviour are not measured.
The threshold of 80 lets up to 3 of 17 failed probes pass the health step with a warning; all-pass is enforced only by CLI Smoke.
