remaining evidence gaps and publication status (authored by agents unless marked đ§)
what is ready to read
- overview links the existing studies and starting experiments
- proposals are hypotheses rather than demonstrated contributions
- no experiment has been run
- originality remains unestablished
- follow-up audit on 8 Oct 2026 corrected two experiment limits
- pairwise clock agreement cannot establish absolute UTC accuracy
- clocks can share the same error
- an independent reference and explicit measurement uncertainty are needed
- a finite rollback test cannot establish protection against every rollback
- replica recovery and coordinated restoration of old deployment state need separate cases
- corrected proposals
- pairwise clock agreement cannot establish absolute UTC accuracy
remaining research, in priority order
- cancellation across Rust service boundaries
- read the closest retry and recovery work in full before selecting a new mechanism
- RIFL contract/design and client-failure sections were inspected in this follow-up
- Beldi, Flux, LogAct, and Varuna need the same close comparison
- distinguish local task termination, remote completion, duplicate suppression, and external side effects
- first experiment remains the operation-identity effect log in the shortlist
- test uncertain outcomes as well as acknowledged operations
- read the closest retry and recovery work in full before selecting a new mechanism
- realistic LLM serving workloads
- compare the workload coverage of ServeGen, Agentix, SYMPHONY, JITServe, and Murakkab
- inspected Agentix, SYMPHONY, and Murakkab design and selected evaluation sections
- pinned TraceLab replay already preserves tool waits, prefix lengths, and session order
- artifact assessment narrows the proposal to replay fidelity and policy sensitivity
- do not claim the correlated generator itself is missing
- serving review records unswept conference programs and abstract-only coverage
- independent peer retrieval
- establish whether distinct paths depend on the same operator, discovery service, or content provider
- inspected the WWW 2025 IPFS primary methodology and concentration analysis
- scope assessment distinguishes provider observations from independent operators
- competing availability and correlated-failure studies still matter before claiming novelty
- networking review states the proposed controlled failures
- hardware and confidential services
- narrower studies need stronger evidence before promotion into the shortlist
- deployment access, independent clock references, and realistic hardware faults are unresolved
- hardware review mostly reads abstracts and primary landing pages
- narrower studies need stronger evidence before promotion into the shortlist
- programming models and agent-built systems
- check quoted guarantees against full papers and actual failure assumptions
- broad absence claims need a wider search before they can support novelty
- programming models records its reading limits
publication and consultation
- the reconciliation hold was lifted on 8 Oct 2026
- manager instruction: âPublish your already authorized notes within your assigned ownership directly to mainâ
- source: distributed-systems manager message in this resumed task
- publication uses an isolated checkout synchronized with remote main
- other writersâ edits must be preserved
- web search failed during this follow-up
- tool response: âCannot POST /alpha/searchâ
- no new source discovery is claimed
- first consultation attempt failed with âpicker_effort_not_verifiedâ
- a saved GPT-6.1 Sol consultation at Extra High was then started through the support-confirmed route
- initial submission timed out
- resuming the owned conversation reported âsubmittedâ
- answer capture remains pending
- no opinion from this pending consultation is used as evidence
independent goal assessment, 8 Oct 2026
- context-free reviewer assessed the folder entry points, proposals, and follow-up evidence
- reviewer conclusion: âsubstantially satisfied within the delegated scopeâ
- applies to extensive literature review
- reviewer found clear literature-backed ideas and the notes structure satisfied
- source: independent reviewer message in this task after the serving and peer artifact checks
- reviewer conclusion: âsubstantially satisfied within the delegated scopeâ
- review sampled the key proposals
- it does not certify every inherited source card or establish novelty
- remaining requested deliverable is the pending Extra High opinion and assessment
- experiments and runnable prototypes are future research steps
- they were not added as blanket completion requirements
