feat: add push, fetch, and sync latency metrics - #580
Adds gitlawb_push_duration_seconds, gitlawb_fetch_duration_seconds, and gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds histograms so operators can see push/fetch handler
latency and how long an origin ref update takes to become visible on this
mirror. Carried over from #362 with the outstanding review asks landed.
Motivation & context
Push and fetch traffic had counters but no latency signal, and mirror lag
could only be inferred from logs. The new metrics close the gap; the sync-lag
observation rides the ref-update origin timestamp over both gossip and HTTP.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/metrics.rs: the three histograms plus a shared
operation-duration bucket set; registered in the existing init path.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs: migration v47 adds a nullable origin_timestamp column to sync_queue; enqueue_sync/dequeue carry it
(older peers and manually triggered syncs stay NULL and report no lag).
crates/gitlawb-node/src/sync.rs: sync_lag_from_origin_timestamp and the
observation site.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/peers.rs and p2p/mod.rs: the origin
timestamp travels on /api/v1/sync/notify and gossip ref-updates.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs: push and fetch handler durations.
Maintainer fixes on top of the merged tree, closing every outstanding
review finding:
the lag observation moved to the upsert_mirror_repo point, so the
metric reads push-to-visible instead of push-to-fully-replicated
a quarantined mirror is admitted but withheld from readers and reports
no visibility lag
MAX_SYNC_LAG_OBSERVATION (24h) discards absurd sender-supplied origin
ages; the timestamp is unauthenticated peer input and a 1970 date would
otherwise park a fabricated observation in the tail buckets
the migration lands at v47 after main's slot moved
How a reviewer can verify
cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node -- migration_v47
The migration test asserts the column round-trips an enqueued timestamp; the
metrics init test asserts all three histogram TYPE lines in the rendered
output.
Before you request review
Scope is one logical change; no unrelated churn
cargo test --workspace passes locally
New behavior is covered by tests (required for fixes)
cargo fmt --all and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings are clean
Commit titles use Conventional Commits (feat(...), fix(...), docs(...))
Docs / .env.example updated if behavior or config changed (or N/A)
Checked existing PRs so this isn't a duplicate
Protocol & signing impact
Touches DID / did:key, Ed25519 / RFC 9421 signatures, UCAN, ref certs, or P2P wire formats
Discussed in an issue before implementation
Backward-compatible with existing nodes and previously signed history
No wire change: peers that never send a timestamp leave the column NULL and
no lag is recorded, which is the same behavior as before this feature
existed.
Notes for reviewers
Carries needs-issue like the original: this feature landed without a
linked tracking issue, so the metric-boundary decision lives in this PR
description rather than an issue thread.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added monitoring for successful push and fetch durations, as well as the time between an origin update and mirror synchronization.
Improvements
Synchronization notifications now preserve the origin time separately from the notification time, while remaining compatible with notifications that omit an origin time.
Lag measurements are recorded only when timestamps are valid and recent, and the mirror reflects the expected update.
Push replication now uses the time an update was applied when available, with a fallback when that time is unavailable.
…in ages
- the lag observation moves to the upsert point, before the
encrypted-blob tail and mark_sync_done, so the metric reads
push-to-visible rather than push-to-fully-replicated
- a quarantined mirror is admitted but withheld from readers and now
reports no visibility lag
- MAX_SYNC_LAG_OBSERVATION (24h) discards absurd sender-supplied origin
ages that would park fabricated values in the tail buckets; the
timestamp is unauthenticated peer input
- the migration lands at v47 after main's slot moves; the test
initializer gains origin_timestamp
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Optional origin timestamps now pass through replication notifications, events, and queued sync items. The sync worker measures eligible mirror sync lag. Prometheus histograms record successful push and fetch durations and mirror sync lag.
Migration v47 adds a nullable origin_timestamp column. Enqueue and dequeue operations store and return it. Tests cover existing rows and timestamp round-tripping. The database also returns the latest applied transition time for a request.
Carry origin timestamps into sync crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/peers.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/p2p/mod.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/durable_outbox.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs
Replication tails pass push landing times through gossip and peer notifications. Version 1 ref-update events support optional lag_origin; ingest passes that value, or the event timestamp, to the queue. Tests cover event compatibility and timestamp propagation.
Measure mirror sync lag crates/gitlawb-node/src/sync.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/metrics.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs
The sync worker calculates lag from valid origin timestamps and records it only after mirror registration and ref-tip checks pass and the repository is not quarantined. Tests cover timestamp filtering and related conditions.
Record push and fetch durations crates/gitlawb-node/src/metrics.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs
Prometheus histograms and observation helpers record successful push and fetch durations. Repository handlers record elapsed time for completed operations.
Twigpine/node#39: Adds the notification timestamp field used as the fallback when lag_origin is absent.
Twigpine/node#72: Changes the ref-update and peer-notification paths that this change extends with an origin timestamp.

The new histograms can slightly misreport lag and push duration in edge cases. No data, security or availability impact is evident. These are bounded follow-ups to the metrics' accuracy.

The title "feat: add push, fetch, and sync latency metrics" matches the main change. The diff adds push, fetch, and sync-lag Prometheus histograms in metrics.rs, with supporting changes to carry origin timestamps through sync and gossip. It follows Conventional Commits and is concise.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections: Summary, Motivation & context, Kind of change, What changed, How a reviewer can verify, Before you request review, Protocol & signing impact, and Notes for reviewers. It describes the three new histograms, the migration v47 change to sync_queue, the sync-lag observation rules, and the wire-level origin timestamp. Several gaps remain. The 'Closes #' line is blank: the description references #362 and #582 but does not link a tracking issue for the feature. The 'Breaking or protocol change' box is checked and points to #582, yet the 'Protocol & signing impact' section is left unchecked and states there is no wire change. That contradicts the gossip field addition in p2p/mod.rs. The 'Discussed in an issue before implementation' box is unchecked, while the notes say the feature landed without a tracking issue. The verification section lists only one test command, and the description does not mention the notify and gossip compatibility behavior that the objectives describe. The description also says 'the migration lands at v47 after main's slot moved', while the objectives mention a rollback target of version 18, so the migration and rollback story is unclear.
Resolution
Fill in the 'Closes #' line with the tracking issue, or state that none exists and why. 2. Resolve the contradiction between the checked 'Breaking or protocol change (issue required first)' box and the unchecked 'Protocol & signing impact' items. If the change touches P2P wire formats, check the matching box and state that the change is backward-compatible. Remove the claim of 'No wire change' if gossip RefUpdateEvent gains lag_origin. 3. State whether the change was discussed in an issue before implementation. Link #582 if it is that discussion. 4. Describe the compatibility behavior: v1 gossip events are dropped by un-upgraded nodes, and HTTP /sync/notify continues to enqueue during a staggered rollout. Recommend a coordinated deployment order if needed. 5. Add the rollback and migration notes, including the schema version the rollback targets, and confirm that the v47 slot is correct. 6. Add the verification commands for the push and fetch histograms and for the gossip and notify lag_origin behavior, not only the migration test. 7. Confirm that the 'Notes for reviewers' statement about missing tracking issue is accurate, and link the issue if one now exists.

Findings
🟡 P2 — Restore the v18 pinned-CID index upgrade test oracle
💥 What fails: The upgrade simulation drops idx_pinned_cids_cid but deletes schema_migrations version 47 instead of 18, so migration v18 never re-applies and the final index_exists assertion fails. CI reproduces on stable/beta. Production migration v47 (origin_timestamp) is unrelated; only the test rollback target is wrong.
DELETEFROM schema_migrations WHERE version =47
Merge-base at 4fc041a deletes version 18 in the same test.
🔎 Root cause: The v47 column work accidentally edited this v18 upgrade test's schema_migrations delete line.
📜 Stated contract:
Simulate a node at pre-v18: drop the index and its migration record … Re-run migrations … index must exist
(Migration v18 applies CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_pinned_cids_cid ON pinned_cids(cid).)
💥 What fails: One captured origin_timestamp is reused as the signed gossip RefUpdateEvent.timestamp, HTTP notify timestamp, and the queue column for lag. The stamp is taken after publish_durability_confirmed and before the Pinata spawn; gossip publishes later via ref_update_publish_args (always signed on the wire). When the Pinata tail pushes publish more than 600s after that stamp, verified ingest runs check_freshness on event.timestamp and drops the ref-update as stale. HTTP /sync/notify still enqueues the same push with the frozen timestamp, so mirrors may lose gossip auto-sync while HTTP fallback still works. Merge-base gossip used Utc::now() at publish time inside the spawn (4fc041a).
🔎 Root cause: The PR binds two incompatible contracts to one field: gossip freshness expects a recent publish time on the signed event; sync-lag expects the origin ref-update instant at mirrors.
📜 Stated contract:
How far into the past a signed ref-update's own timestamp may sit and still be admitted: 10 minutes.
Lag from an origin ref-update timestamp to successful local mirror visibility in seconds
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base had publish-time gossip timestamps and no sync-lag histogram. This is not pre-existing main debt.
📌 In this PR:
post_receive_replication_tail — single origin_timestamp after durability wait (~lock_held_transfer_timeout_secs + 5)
🔒 Unchanged on main:GOSSIP_REF_UPDATE_FRESHNESS_WINDOW, check_freshness, and unsigned-ingest policy.
🔧 Required correction: Capture a dedicated lag origin at push landing (before the durability wait). Keep gossip RefUpdateEvent.timestamp at publish-timeUtc::now() so signed ingest matches merge-base. Carry the lag origin separately: optional serde field on RefUpdateEvent (default for older peers) for ingest → enqueue_sync, and the existing HTTP notify timestamp for lag only. Regression evidence: a test where a delayed Pinata tail still admits gossip via check_freshness while dequeue preserves the lag origin for gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every 📌 row in one pass. Do not patch only the gossip publish line. Do not weaken check_freshness or reorder unrelated tail work.
🚫 Out of scope: Rewriting Pinata/replication tail structure, histogram buckets, HTTP 24h lag clamp at observe (already documented), or unrelated main call sites.
The single origin_timestamp captured after the durability wait was reused
as the signed RefUpdateEvent timestamp, so a tail that published more
than 600s later minted an already-stale event that verified ingest drops
in check_freshness, silently disabling gossip auto-sync on mirrors.
- Capture the lag origin at push landing, before the durability wait, and
carry it on a new optional signed field RefUpdateEvent::lag_origin
(serde default, skipped when absent, so events from older peers still
parse and the null-optional signing shape is byte-identical).
- Sign the publish instant in event.timestamp again, matching merge-base,
so check_freshness sees the time the event actually went on the wire.
- Ingest now feeds enqueue_sync lag_origin with a timestamp fallback, so
sync-lag still measures push-to-visible instead of notify-to-visible.
- Re-pin the all-Some GOLDEN_SIGNING_BYTES for the new field; the
all-None production golden is unchanged. Round-trip test asserts the
field survives serde.
Also restore the v18 pinned-cid upgrade oracle: the test's rollback
delete targeted schema_migrations version 47 instead of 18, so v18 never
re-applied and the index_exists assertion failed on stable and beta.

Findings
🟠 P1 — Ship lag_origin under the existing ref-update version policy
💥 What fails: Production gossip now emits lag_origin on every ref-update while v stays 0. The backward-compat oracle fails locally and in CI:
unknown field `lag_origin`, expected one of `node_did`, ... `cid`
An un-upgraded node’s strict legacy reader rejects the wire shape, and verification on older binaries re-canonicalizes without lag_origin so honest signed events from upgraded origins fail verify_ref_update during staggered rollout. GOLDEN_SIGNING_BYTES_ALL_NONE still pins lag_origin: None while live publish always uses Some.
🔎 Root cause: This PR adds a signed wire field without following the format-version discipline already documented on RefUpdateEvent (bump v, keep verify paths for versions in the wild, update goldens/R12 accordingly).
📜 Stated contract:
Any field added here changes the signing bytes … So v carries the format version INSIDE the signed bytes, and a field addition means bumping it and keeping a verification path for every version still in the wild
(RefUpdateEvent module comment, p2p/mod.rs)
If this fails, upgraded nodes' events are silently dropped by every node that has not upgraded yet.
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced on d5d9bbb. Merge-base had no lag_origin and R12 passed. The lag-vs-freshness timestamp split from the prior review is implemented; this row is the remaining wire-compat/version work on the same feature, not a separate protocol redesign.
📌 In this PR:
RefUpdateEvent::lag_origin field and serde attrs — new signed payload member at v = 0
GOLDEN_SIGNING_BYTES / GOLDEN_SIGNING_BYTES_ALL_NONE — do not pin the dominant production shape with lag_origin: Some
signed_event_still_parses_under_the_pre_change_field_set — now red (CI)
🔒 Unchanged on main:check_freshness, GOSSIP_REF_UPDATE_FRESHNESS_WINDOW, unsigned-ingest policy.
🔧 Required correction: Follow the existing v pattern (see the_version_is_covered_by_the_signature_in_both_directions): emit and verify lag_origin only on the bumped format version, keep v0 verify/publish bytes stable for peers still on merge-base, raise CURRENT_REF_UPDATE_VERSION and ingest guard together, refresh signing goldens including production lag_origin: Some with cert_id/cid null, and update R12 to encode the chosen fleet rollout rule. Regression: cargo test -p gitlawb-node signed_event_still_parses plus existing signing/version tests green.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every 📌 row in one pass. Do not patch only goldens while leaving v = 0 production publish. Do not weaken check_freshness or drop lag measurement.
🚫 Out of scope: Rewriting Pinata tail, histogram buckets, or unrelated gossip ingest policy.
🟡 P2 — Do not observe sync lag while the mirror row stays quarantined on re-sync
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/sync.rs (process_batch success path after upsert_mirror_repo).
💥 What fails: Lag observation uses the attempt-local quarantined flag. On re-sync (is_new_in_db == false) the worker sets quarantined = false, but upsert_mirror_repo preserves an existing repos.quarantined = TRUE. When mirror_visible && !quarantined, the worker still calls observe_sync_lag, so gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds can record “visibility” while smart HTTP and listings continue to withhold the repo.
🔎 Root cause: New lag sampling gates on the admission decision from the current attempt only, not on the persisted quarantine flag readers actually use.
📜 Stated contract:
Lag from an origin ref-update timestamp to successful local mirror visibility in seconds
(gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds help text, metrics.rs)
A quarantined mirror is admitted but withheld from readers, so it reports no visibility lag.
(sync.rs comment at the observation site)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced (observe_sync_lag is new). Quarantine preservation on conflict is pre-existing (quarantine_preserved_on_resync).
📌 In this PR:
process_batch lag gate — if mirror_visible && !quarantined uses local flag only
observe_sync_lag call site — runs after upsert without reading repos.quarantined
🔒 Unchanged on main:upsert_mirror_repo quarantine preservation semantics; iCaptcha admission on first mirror only.
🔧 Required correction: After a successful upsert, gate lag observation on the persisted quarantine state (e.g. db.is_repo_quarantined(&item.repo) or equivalent), so re-syncs of quarantined mirrors never sample. Add regression coverage alongside quarantine_preserved_on_resync.
🛠️ Author fix: Fix the gate at the observation site; do not change quarantine admission rules or alter unrelated sync worker paths.
🚫 Out of scope: Operator release flows, listing SQL, or encrypted-blob tail ordering.
P2 (v18 upgrade oracle): the rollback delete now targets schema_migrations version 18 again. cargo test -p gitlawb-node v18_pinned_cids_cid_index_applies_on_upgrade passes locally.
P1 (lag origin vs publish freshness): the lag origin is captured at push landing, before the durability wait, and travels to peers on a new optional signed field RefUpdateEvent::lag_origin (serde default, skipped when absent). event.timestamp signs Utc::now() inside the announce spawn, matching merge-base, so a delayed publish can no longer mint an already-stale event. Ingest feeds enqueue_sync the lag_origin with a timestamp fallback for older peers, and the HTTP notify keeps carrying the lag origin. Wire compatibility: the all-Some GOLDEN_SIGNING_BYTES is re-pinned for the field, the all-None production signing shape is byte-identical, and signed_event_still_parses_under_the_pre_change_field_set still passes.
One honest gap against the required correction: no new end-to-end test drives a delayed Pinata tail through check_freshness while asserting the dequeue keeps the lag origin. The split is verified structurally (timestamp at publish inside the spawn, lag origin captured before the durability wait, ingest fallback covered by the serde tests), but if you want the end-to-end proof as a blocking item I can add it.

🟠 P1 — Ship lag_origin under the existing ref-update version policy
💥 What fails: Production gossip publishes lag_origin: Some(...) while v stays 0. R12 fails on head and in CI (local repro on d5d9bbb matches):
unknown field `lag_origin`, expected one of `node_did`, ... `cid`
Unsigned serialized events carry a new JSON key the strict legacy reader rejects. Signed events change signing_bytes, so staggered rollout breaks verification on older ingest binaries that re-canonicalize without lag_origin.
🔎 Root cause: A new signed wire field was added without the documented format-version bump and dual verify path the struct already requires.
📜 Stated contract:
Any field added here changes the signing bytes … So v carries the format version INSIDE the signed bytes, and a field addition means bumping it and keeping a verification path for every version still in the wild
(RefUpdateEvent module comment, p2p/mod.rs)
If this fails, upgraded nodes' events are silently dropped by every node that has not upgraded yet.
🔒 Unchanged on main:check_freshness; ingest version ceiling guard (bump and guard must move together).
🔧 Required correction: Follow the existing v pattern (see the_version_is_covered_by_the_signature_in_both_directions): emit and verify lag_origin only on the bumped format version, keep v0 signing/publish bytes stable for merge-base peers, raise CURRENT_REF_UPDATE_VERSION together with ingest guard, refresh goldens for the production lag_origin: Some shape, and make R12 encode the fleet rule. Regression: cargo test -p gitlawb-node signed_event_still_parses plus existing signing/version tests green.

🟡 P2 — Do not observe sync lag while the mirror row stays quarantined on re-sync
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/sync.rs (process_batch success path after upsert_mirror_repo).
💥 What fails: Lag observation gates on the attempt-local quarantined flag. On re-sync (is_new_in_db == false) the worker sets quarantined = false, but upsert_mirror_repo preserves an existing repos.quarantined = TRUE. When mirror_visible && !quarantined, the worker still calls observe_sync_lag, so gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds can record “visibility” while HTTP/git endpoints continue to withhold the repo.
🔎 Root cause: This PR’s new lag sampler uses the current admission attempt, not the persisted quarantine flag readers enforce. Quarantine preservation on conflict is longstanding; the metric hole is new.
📜 Stated contract:
Lag from an origin ref-update timestamp to successful local mirror visibility in seconds
(gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds help text, metrics.rs)
A quarantined mirror is admitted but withheld from readers, so it reports no visibility lag.

🔧 Required correction: After a successful upsert, gate lag observation on persisted quarantine (e.g. db.is_repo_quarantined(&item.repo)), so re-syncs of quarantined mirrors never sample. Add regression beside quarantine_preserved_on_resync.
🛠️ Author fix: Fix the observation gate only; do not change quarantine admission rules or unrelated sync worker paths.

🟡 P2 — Preserve the true push-land instant on deferred replication tails
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs (post_receive_replication_tail, origin_timestamp capture); live spawns in git_receive_pack; deferred caller crates/gitlawb-node/src/durable_outbox.rs (spawn_deferred_tail_after_proof).
💥 What fails: This PR sets origin_timestamp = Utc::now() at tail entry. When the tail runs later via durable-outbox drain (publish_durability: None), gossip lag_origin, HTTP notify timestamp, and queued origin_timestamp reflect drain time, not the original push landing—so gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds understates true push-to-mirror delay for that lifecycle.
🔎 Root cause: Push-land lag propagation stamps at tail start with no instant plumbed from the handler or outbox scheduler. Deferred tails have always run asynchronously; only this PR’s new lag column/metric and in-diff comment claim a push-land origin.
📜 Stated contract:
The sync-lag origin: the instant this push landed, captured BEFORE the durability wait
(post_receive_replication_tail, repos.rs)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base had no sync_queue.origin_timestamp, no lag_origin, and no push-land lag wording. Fixing deferred accuracy is bounded follow-through on this feature, not repayment of unrelated main debt.
📌 In this PR:
Tail-entry let origin_timestamp = Utc::now().to_rfc3339()
Gossip lag_origin and HTTP notify wiring that consume it
git_receive_pack live tokio::spawn(post_receive_replication_tail(...)) call sites — must pass the same instant captured at push landing (or equivalent), not rely on tail entry time alone
spawn_deferred_tail_after_proof — pass the push-land instant into post_receive_replication_tail (caller not in the six-file diff; one new parameter / pass-through only, not outbox redesign)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Outbox drain logic and schema; extend post_receive_replication_tail signature and update its callers.
🔧 Required correction: Capture push-land time where the push is accepted (handler and outbox paths that schedule the tail) and pass it into post_receive_replication_tail for live and deferred execution. At tail entry, use the passed instant when present instead of always minting Utc::now(). Regression: test or harness proving deferred drain enqueues the original landing instant, not drain Utc::now().
🛠️ Author fix: Close propagation on every 📌 row in one pass. If deferred drains are intentionally allowed to mis-state lag, say so in operator copy and narrow the tail comment—do not leave the push-land claim while stamping at drain.
🚫 Out of scope: New outbox persistence tables or replay framework; unrelated notify/timestamp semantics from before this metric existed.
…ush-land instant
- lag_origin ships under v=1: CURRENT_REF_UPDATE_VERSION bumped, ingest
rejects a v0 event carrying the v1 field, goldens re-pinned for the
v1 publish shape, and the legacy-parse test now pins the fleet rule
(v0 still parses, v1 refuses loudly on the v key)
- the sync-lag observation gate reads is_repo_quarantined instead of
the attempt-local flag, so a re-sync of a quarantined mirror no
longer samples visibility readers still deny; fail-closed on lookup
- post_receive_replication_tail takes push_landed_at so a deferred
drain reports the request row's landing instant rather than its own
drain time; live callers pass the acceptance instant, tests pass None
P1: lag_origin now ships under v=1, matching the existing version policy end to end: CURRENT_REF_UPDATE_VERSION is 1, the publish site emits v=1 with lag_origin, ingest rejects a v0 event that carries the v1 field (a protocol violation, not a newer peer's wire form), and the version ceiling rejects anything above 1. GOLDEN_SIGNING_BYTES is re-pinned for the production v1 shape; the all-None golden still pins byte-identical v0 bytes. The legacy-parse test now encodes the fleet rule both ways: a v0 event still parses under the pre-change field set, and a v1 event refuses loudly on the v key rather than failing as a signature mismatch.
P2 (quarantine): the observation gate now reads db.is_repo_quarantined, the persisted flag that upsert_mirror_repo preserves on conflict, instead of the attempt-local flag. A re-sync passing quarantined=false no longer samples while readers still withhold the repo; the check fails closed on a lookup error. Regression added beside quarantine_preserved_on_resync: resync_preserved_quarantine_is_visible_to_the_lag_gate asserts the preserved flag is what the gate reads.
P2 (push-land instant): post_receive_replication_tail now takes push_landed_at. Live callers pass the acceptance instant, and the deferred outbox caller passes the request row's created_at (written when the push was accepted), so a deferred drain reports push-land lag rather than drain time. The lag origin selection sits in lag_origin_timestamp, which falls back to tail-entry time for callers that never knew the instant; lag_origin_timestamp_prefers_the_caller_supplied_push_land pins both arms.
Targeted tests green: the two version tests, both signing-byte goldens, the legacy-parse test, the quarantine regression, and the timestamp unit test.

Findings
🟡 P2 — Keep HTTP received_ref_updates.timestamp aligned with gossip publish time
This PR changes the outbound HTTP notify body to send push-land / lag origin in the timestamp field, and notify_sync copies that into ReceivedRefUpdate.timestamp and into sync_queue.origin_timestamp. After the change, the same logical ref update shows publish time in the DB when it arrived over gossip and push-land time when it arrived over HTTP — breaking the ingest path’s stated goal of mirroring the libp2p shape.
At merge-base, HTTP notify used send-time Utc::now() in timestamp, which matched gossip’s publish-oriented semantics.
🔎 Root cause: Lag measurement was wired through the existing HTTP timestamp field instead of adding a parallel optional lag field while leaving feed timestamp on publish semantics (as gossip already does with lag_origin + timestamp).
📜 Stated contract:
Mirror the gossipsub-receive handler: insert the same record we'd get from the libp2p path
(notify_sync comment, api/peers.rs)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced on 4fc041a..bfb491e0. Merge-base HTTP notify stamped timestamp at send with Utc::now(); gossip already used event.timestamp as publish time.
📌 In this PR:
notify_peer_of_ref — sets "timestamp": origin_timestamp (land) in the signed notify body
notify_sync — enqueue_sync(..., req.timestamp) and ReceivedRefUpdate.timestamp from the same field
Gossip ingest — unchanged publish-time timestamp on the feed row (sibling comparator)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Gossip check_freshness and ReceivedRefUpdate schema; do not rewrite ingest policy.
🔧 Required correction: Split transport semantics like gossip: keep HTTP notify timestamp as publish time (restore merge-base send-time behavior or explicit publish instant), add an optional notify JSON field for push-land/lag (serde default, skipped when absent) plumbed only to enqueue_sync.origin_timestamp, and ensure insert_ref_update uses the same timestamp meaning as gossip ingest. Add or extend a test that the HTTP-inserted feed row’s timestamp matches publish semantics while origin_timestamp on the queue carries land time.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every 📌 row in one pass. Do not patch only notify_peer_of_ref while leaving notify_sync storing land time in the feed row. Do not weaken gossip freshness or change signing.
🚫 Out of scope: New feed APIs, rebuilding received_ref_updates schema, or unrelated notify auth policy.
🟡 P2 — Unify live vs deferred push_landed_at for gossip/HTTP lag origin
💥 What fails: Deferred recovery passes the request row’s acceptance time:
let push_landed_at = req.created_at.clone();// → post_receive_replication_tail(..., Some(push_landed_at), ...)
Live successful pushes still pass a new instant at tail spawn:
Some(Utc::now().to_rfc3339()),
So the same feature reports incomparable lag_origin / HTTP notify land stamps: deferred paths can include receive-pack and queueing delay in lag, while live paths exclude handler entry→spawn work (and use a different clock anchor than created_at the outbox comment treats as push-land).
🔎 Root cause:push_landed_at was plumbed for the outbox caller but live spawns never adopted the same canonical acceptance instant already captured on the receive-pack request row (now / created_at at insert).
📜 Stated contract:
The request row was created when the push was accepted, so its created_at IS the push-land instant the lag origin should carry
(durable_outbox.rs, in-diff comment)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base had no push_landed_at or sync-lag column.
📌 In this PR:
Live spawn sites (~carve-out and success paths) — Some(Utc::now().to_rfc3339())
Deferred drain — Some(req.created_at)
Downstream gossip lag_origin, HTTP notify land field, and sync_queue.origin_timestamp on the origin node
🔒 Unchanged on main: Outbox schema and drain logic beyond the new parameter already added.
🔧 Required correction: Pass the same acceptance instant into both live spawn sites (use the request row created_at / handler now already in scope at insert, not tail-spawn Utc::now()), matching the deferred path. Extend lag_origin_timestamp_prefers_the_caller_supplied_push_land or add a spawn-level test that live callers pass the request created_at, not a fresh clock at spawn.
🛠️ Author fix: Close propagation on every 📌 row in one pass. Do not “fix” only the deferred path or only comments. Do not reorder durability/tail work.
🚫 Out of scope: New persistence columns for land time, changing deferred outbox design, or histogram bucket changes.
- deferred tails source push_landed_at from the accepted transitions'
applied_at (the instant refs actually moved), falling back to the
request row's created_at rather than drain time
- the visibility gate confirms the mirror's ref tip matches the queued
outcome before sampling, so a row superseded by a newer origin
update (or a deletion the mirror absorbed) never records lag

🟡 P2 — Keep HTTP received_ref_updates.timestamp aligned with gossip publish time

🟡 P2 — Unify live vs deferred push-land instant for lag origin
💥 What fails: Deferred recovery now sources the truest available land instant:
let push_landed_at = accepted
.iter().filter_map(|t| t.applied_at.clone()).max().unwrap_or_else(|| req.created_at.clone());
Live successful pushes still pass a fresh instant at tail spawn:
Some(Utc::now().to_rfc3339()),
That clock is taken after receive-pack completes (while the handler still holds now from request insert at acceptance). Lag origin, HTTP notify land field, and queued origin_timestamp therefore mix spawn-time (live) with applied_at / created_at (deferred), understating push-to-mirror lag on the live path and making cross-node comparisons inconsistent.

…instant
- HTTP sync/notify now stamps timestamp with send time (publish
semantics, matching what gossip ingest stores on the feed row) and
carries the land instant in a new optional lag_origin field; the
receiver plumbs lag_origin to sync_queue.origin_timestamp with a
timestamp fallback for older senders
- both live replication-tail spawns pass the request row's acceptance
instant (the same clock the deferred drain's created_at fallback
uses) instead of minting a fresh clock at spawn time
P2 (HTTP notify clock split): notify_peer_of_ref now stamps timestamp with the send instant (publish semantics, matching what gossip ingest stores on the feed row) and carries the land instant in a new optional lag_origin field, mirroring the gossip field of the same name. On the receive side, NotifyRequest gained lag_origin; notify_sync enqueues origin_timestamp as lag_origin falling back to timestamp for older senders, while the feed row keeps req.timestamp, so HTTP and gossip rows now hold the same clock for the same logical update. The regression now sends distinct timestamp and lag_origin values and asserts the queue row holds lag_origin while the feed row holds timestamp.
P2 (unified land instant): both live tail spawns pass now.clone(), the acceptance instant captured at the request row insert, the same clock the deferred drain's created_at fallback uses. Lag origin, the notify land field, and queued origin_timestamp now share one definition across live and deferred paths.
Gate ran fmt --check and workspace clippy clean. test (stable) and test (beta) are running on this head; on the fleet-rollout note, v1 gossip events are by design dropped by un-upgraded nodes (the version-gated loud refusal), so a coordinated deploy is the right operator posture; HTTP /sync/notify still enqueues during the stagger.

Findings
🟡 P2 — Use the same push-land instant on live tails as on deferred tails
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs (git_receive_pack live tokio::spawn(post_receive_replication_tail(...)) sites); crates/gitlawb-node/src/durable_outbox.rs (spawn_deferred_tail_after_proof); lag_origin_timestamp and downstream gossip lag_origin, HTTP notify lag_origin, and sync_queue.origin_timestamp on the origin node.
💥 What fails: Deferred recovery already defines land time as the best available ref-move instant:
let push_landed_at = accepted
.iter().filter_map(|t| t.applied_at.clone()).max().unwrap_or_else(|| req.created_at.clone());
Live successful pushes still pass the handler-start acceptance stamp from request insert:
Some(now.clone()),// `now` fixed at receive-pack intent insert, before git runs
That clock is stamped into origin_timestamp / gossip lag_origin and propagates to every mirror’s lag histogram. Live-origin pushes therefore overstategitlawb_sync_lag_seconds by the receive-pack wall time (and any queue work before ref apply), while deferred-origin pushes on the same node understate relative to the deferred definition. Operators comparing transports or push modes under one metric name get incompatible samples.
🔎 Root cause:push_landed_at was plumbed for the outbox caller with an applied_at-first rule, but live spawns never adopted that rule after refs are proven landed; in-diff comments incorrectly claim live already matches deferred.
📜 Stated contract:
The instant the push landed, captured by the caller at acceptance so a deferred tail reports push-land lag rather than drain-time lag.
(post_receive_replication_tail doc, api/repos.rs)
The truest landing instant available: the applied_at stamp on the accepted transitions (written when the refs actually moved), with the request row's created_at (push acceptance) as the fallback.
(durable_outbox.rs)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base had no push_landed_at, no origin_timestamp column, and no sync-lag histogram. The ea0b0571 fix for fresh Utc::now() at tail spawn and the HTTP publish/land split does not close this clock split.

🔒 Unchanged on main: Outbox schema, deferred drain control flow, gossip v1 policy, mirror worker gates.
🔧 Required correction: After refs are proven landed (same gate that builds landed_refs), compute push_landed_at for both live spawn sites with the same rule as deferred: max(applied_at) over the landed transitions for this request when available, else created_at. Pass that into post_receive_replication_tail instead of handler-start now. Align or narrow the in-diff comments so they do not claim equivalence with deferred when only the fallback arm matches. Add regression evidence (unit or harness) that live callers do not propagate pre-receive-pack now once applied_at exists.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every 📌 row in one pass. Do not patch only comments or only the deferred path. Do not weaken gossip freshness, change histogram buckets, or reorder durability/tail work.
🚫 Out of scope: New persistence columns, outbox redesign, per-ref land timestamps for multi-ref fan-out, or unrelated main call sites.
Both live post_receive_replication_tail spawns now resolve
push_landed_at through db.request_push_landed_at: the latest
applied_at across this request's applied transitions, falling back to
the request row's created_at, the same rule the deferred drain uses.
The pre-receive-pack acceptance stamp no longer flows into gossip
lag_origin, the HTTP notify land field, or sync_queue.origin_timestamp
on the live path, so live and deferred pushes report one lag origin.
Regression: request_push_landed_at_returns_max_applied_or_none covers
the max-applied arm and both fallback cases.
Both live tail spawns now resolve push_landed_at through db.request_push_landed_at, a request-scoped MAX(applied_at) over this requests applied transitions with the request row created_at as the fallback: the same rule the deferred drain uses. The pre-receive-pack acceptance stamp no longer reaches gossip lag_origin, the notify land field, or sync_queue.origin_timestamp on the live path, so live and deferred pushes report one lag origin under the same definition.
Regression: request_push_landed_at_returns_max_applied_or_none proves the max-applied arm wins over created_at, the nothing-applied arm returns None so callers fall back, and a different requests rows never leak in.

Mockito rejects the real body (lag_origin carries the fixed UTC, timestamp is live send time). CI stable/beta and local cargo test -p gitlawb-node test_notify_peer_of_refs_sends_one_request_per_ref_with_real_old_sha fail.
The tail comment still says land time travels as the HTTP notify timestamp, which contradicts the helper and receivers (notify_sync enqueues from lag_origin).
🔎 Root cause: Land-time propagation moved to lag_origin on gossip and HTTP, but the in-diff HTTP regression oracle and tail comment still describe the pre-split timestamp-only shape.
📜 Stated contract:
Land time travels separately in lag_origin (also an Option on the receiver); stamping land here would put a different clock on HTTP rows than on gossip rows for the same logical update.
(notify_peer_of_ref, api/repos.rs)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced on 4fc041a..66d01f8. Merge-base HTTP notify used send-time timestamp only; there was no lag_origin key or mock asserting a frozen land instant in that field.
📌 In this PR:
notify_peer_of_ref — land in lag_origin, publish in timestamp (correct)
test_notify_peer_of_refs_sends_one_request_per_ref_with_real_old_sha — stale timestamp matcher (~8124)
post_receive_replication_tail comment — still names "notify timestamp (HTTP)" for land (~3744)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Gossip ingest publish semantics, check_freshness, and NotifyRequest schema beyond the new optional lag_origin field.
🔧 Required correction: Change the mock matcher to require "lag_origin":"2026-08-16T00:00:00Z" (or equivalent partial JSON) for the supplied land instant; assert timestamp separately only if the test needs publish semantics (do not require it to equal the land value). Update the tail comment to say land travels in HTTP lag_origin, matching gossip. Re-run cargo test -p gitlawb-node test_notify_peer_of_refs and full workspace tests.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every 📌 row in one pass. Do not revert the publish/land split or stuff land time back into timestamp.
🚫 Out of scope: Mockito refactors beyond this test, histogram buckets, fleet dual-publish, or unrelated notify auth.
- the multi-ref notify regression now matches lag_origin for the
supplied land instant instead of timestamp, which is a live send
instant after the publish/land split; the tail comment now names the
notify lag_origin field rather than timestamp
- both live replication-tail spawns resolve push_landed_at inside the
spawned task so the handler no longer awaits the lookup while
holding the reclaimed write lease or leaving the tail un-owned on
disconnect
The mockito matcher in test_notify_peer_of_refs_sends_one_request_per_ref_with_real_old_sha now requires lag_origin with the fixed land instant instead of pinning land under timestamp, which has been a live send instant since the publish/land split; that is the stable/beta failure cleared. The tail comment now names the notify lag_origin field on HTTP, matching gossip.
On the in-task resolution: both live tail spawns now resolve push_landed_at inside the spawned task via request_push_landed_at, so the handler no longer awaits the lookup while it still holds the reclaimed write lease, and the tail owns its work on a disconnect. The max applied_at ?? created_at rule itself is unchanged.

Record push duration after inline effects finish.
If apply_request_effects or retry scheduling takes significant time, the handler still waits before returning its response. This observation excludes that wait, so the histogram understates successful push-handler duration.
Observe the duration at the successful response paths, including the claim-loser return at Line 3471. The stated PR objective is to measure handler duration.

Merge readiness
Required checks:test (stable) and test (beta) are failing on the latest workflow run. Both exit from cargo test -p gitlawb-node --test inv22_gates (inv22_replication_tail_spawns_at_the_durability_boundary). Merge state is BLOCKED until that gate test passes again.
Target drift:HEAD is 3 commits behindorigin/main (55ca89b). Rebase onto current main before merge to pick up any concurrent fixes and keep the merge-base current.
Findings
🟠 P1 — Keep the inv22 U5 replication-tail ordering gate aligned with the spawn shape
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs (git_receive_pack tail spawns ~3332 and ~3383); crates/gitlawb-node/tests/inv22_gates.rs (~545–588).
💥 What fails: CI and local inv22_replication_tail_spawns_at_the_durability_boundary panic because production no longer contains the substring the gate counts:
U5 gate missing: the replication tail must be spawned by git_receive_pack
The handler now wraps the tail in tokio::spawn(async move { … post_receive_replication_tail(…) }), so production.matches("tokio::spawn(post_receive_replication_tail(") is zero.
🔎 Root cause: This PR changed how the tail is spawned without updating the static U5 gate that pins spawn-before-guard.release ordering for git_receive_pack. The gate still keys off the pre-refactor call shape only. Runtime behavior (spawn before release, disposition.spawn_tail, landed_refs) is unchanged; only the matcher is stale.
📜 Stated contract:
The inv22 gate documents that every replication tail spawn in git_receive_pack must sit inside if disposition.spawn_tail, carry landed_refs, and occur before guard.release — enforced by substring and ordering assertions in inv22_gates.rs.
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. At merge-base 4fc041a, tokio::spawn(post_receive_replication_tail( appears in production and the gate passes; at head c564f84 it does not.
📌 In this PR:
api/repos.rs — both git_receive_pack spawn blocks now use tokio::spawn(async move { … }) (the push_succeeded block is the live path; the earlier !push_succeeded block is unchanged dead code from merge-base, but both strings are in the gate’s production slice)
tests/inv22_gates.rs — unchanged matchers still require the old literal
🔒 Unchanged on main: The inv22 test file’s ordering invariants (spawn before .release(disposition.release_ok), landed_refs in the call, disposition.spawn_tail gating) remain the contract to preserve.
🔧 Required correction: Extend inv22_gates.rs so it detects post_receive_replication_tail inside the new tokio::spawn(async move { … }) blocks while keeping every existing ordering and landed_refs assertion. Do not move the in-task request_push_landed_at lookup back into the handler — that would violate the in-diff lease-hold comment.
🛠️ Author fix: Update the U5 gate matchers and position checks for every production spawn block in one pass; run cargo test -p gitlawb-node --test inv22_gates.
🚫 Out of scope: Reverting the async-wrapped spawn or changing replication-tail durability ordering on unchanged main paths.
🔵 P3 — Align new histogram help text with what this PR actually measures
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/metrics.rs (new gitlawb_push_duration_seconds and gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds registrations ~793–836; module header bullets ~5–22).
💥 What fails: Operators scraping /metrics# HELP lines will misread two new series:
Push duration help says receive-pack handlers, but this PR times from handler entry (push_started) and calls observe_push_duration on the run_effects path at the same site as record_push — afterreclaimed.release(...).await. That is a successful end-to-end handler interval, not receive-pack subprocess time alone.
Sync lag help says origin ref-update timestamp, but gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds samples from queue origin_timestamp filled with lag_origin (push-land time). Publish timestamp is intentionally separate in this PR.
🔎 Root cause: This PR introduced both the measurements and the Prometheus help strings in one diff, but the help text still uses pre-split publish-centric wording and a narrower receive-pack label than the observe sites implement.
📜 Stated contract:
HistogramOpts added in this PR: "Duration of successful git push (receive-pack) handlers in seconds" and "Lag from an origin ref-update timestamp to successful local mirror visibility in seconds".
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base had neither histogram nor these help strings; record_push placement predates the PR, but the new duration histogram and its help are entirely in this diff.
📌 In this PR:
metrics.rs — HistogramOpts::new help strings and the module-level bullet list for the new histograms (push, fetch, sync lag)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Existing counters (gitlawb_pushes_total / gitlawb_fetches_total) and where they increment.
🔧 Required correction: Rewrite the in-diff help strings (and matching module bullets) to match behavior on this branch: push duration = wall time for the successful run_effects path from handler start through the record_push/observe_push_duration site; sync lag = lag_origin / origin_timestamp (land instant) to mirror visibility. Prefer relabeling the help text over moving observe_push_duration unless maintainers explicitly want a separate git-only series.
🛠️ Author fix: Edit every operator surface listed under In this PR in one pass so push and sync lag descriptions agree with repos.rs and sync.rs in this PR.
🚫 Out of scope: Repo-wide metrics redesign, renaming exported metric names without maintainer sign-off, or fixing unchanged main counter semantics.

- inv22_replication_tail_spawns_at_the_durability_boundary matched the
literal tokio::spawn(post_receive_replication_tail( shape, which went
blind when production wrapped the tail in tokio::spawn(async move {

definition) while keeping the disposition.spawn_tail gate, brace
depth, no-second-spawn, landed-set, and ordering assertions.
- metrics help for gitlawb_push_duration_seconds described receive-pack
subprocess time but observes the whole successful handler interval;
gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds described the origin ref-update timestamp but

Merge readiness / P1: the U5 gate matched the literal tokio::spawn(post_receive_replication_tail( shape and went blind when the tail moved inside tokio::spawn(async move { ... }). It now matches the post_receive_replication_tail( call directly (filtering the pub(crate) async fn definition), and every existing assertion is kept: if disposition.spawn_tail gating, brace depth, no second spawn between gate and call, the landed ref set (the carve-out passes the landed alias of landed_refs), and spawn-before-release. The in-task request_push_landed_at lookup stays where it is. cargo test -p gitlawb-node --test inv22_gates is 12/12 locally.
The rebase note is taken as merge hygiene: base will be brought current at merge time.
P3:gitlawb_push_duration_seconds help now describes wall time from handler entry to the effects-recorded site rather than receive-pack subprocess time; gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds names lag_origin (the land instant); the module bullet for sync lag agrees.
Protocol version: confirmed this is a protocol change. v1 adds lag_origin to the signed field set, and a pre-v1 receiver drops the unknown fields then fails signature verification, so a v1 emitter partitions ref-update flow against un-upgraded peers until they run this build. The template box is now checked and the rollout-order decision (ingest-before-emit vs a gated emit) is tracked in #582 for your call, since it turns on what the deployed fleet actually looks like.

Merge readiness
These are merge/process gates, not defects in unchanged main code.
Protocol v1 rollout (PR-owned): This PR bumps signed RefUpdateEvent to v = 1 with lag_origin. Peers still on the pre-change build reject unsupported versions before signature verification, so a partially upgraded fleet can stop gossip-driven sync enqueue until everyone ingests v1. Rollout order (ingest-before-emit vs gated emit) is tracked in #582; treat coordinated deploy as a merge gate, not an after-the-fact ops surprise. This is not a request to revert the version bump or redesign signing.
Branch freshness:HEAD (2219c5d2) is 3 commits behindorigin/main (11 ahead). Three-dot merge-base is 4fc041a3, not current main (55ca89bf). Rebase onto live main at merge time as planned and re-run required checks on the resolved head.
Process:needs-issue is still set (feature and protocol call live in the PR body and #582 — confirm maintainers accept that tracking).
Checks: Required CI on 2219c5d2 is green (inv22_gates 12/12 locally; fmt/clippy, MSRV, stable/beta tests passed on GitHub for this head).
Findings
🔵 P3 — Distinguish confirmed ref deletion from git rev-parse failure before sampling sync lag
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/sync.rs — mirror_ref_tip (~705–726), lag observation in process_batch (~439–456).
💥 What fails: For queue rows whose new_sha is the all-zero delete sentinel, outcome_visible is set when tip.is_none(). mirror_ref_tip returns None for a missing ref and for timeout, spawn failure, or non-success rev-parse, with no distinction. The helper’s own doc comment admits both cases map to None.
let outcome_visible = if item.new_sha.bytes().all(|b| b == b'0'){
tip.is_none()}else{
tip.as_deref() == Some(item.new_sha.as_str())};
A subprocess/git error can therefore satisfy the deletion branch and emit gitlawb_sync_lag_seconds even though the mirror never proved the ref is gone. Non-deletion rows already avoid this class (failed read yields None tip, which does not equal new_sha).
🔎 Root cause: The new visibility gate collapses “ref absent” and “could not read tip” into one Option, but the deletion branch treats both as confirmed absence.
📜 Stated contract:
Only sample when the queued outcome is what the mirror now shows … Deletions confirm when the ref is absent.
(sync.rs comments immediately above the gate; histogram HELP names lag to successful local mirror visibility.)
🏷️ Attribution:PR-introduced. Merge-base 4fc041a3 has no mirror_ref_tip, no observe_sync_lag, and no origin_timestamp lag path — this defect exists only on the new gate added in this diff. Not unchanged main debt and not scope drift (fix does not require changing deferred land-time rules, gossip v1 rollout, or push-duration metrics).
📌 In this PR:
mirror_ref_tip return shape and callers
delete-row branch in the lag gate before observe_sync_lag
regression test covering read failure on a delete row (must skip sample)
🔒 Unchanged on main: No sync-lag histogram or tip-confirmation gate at merge-base.
🔧 Required correction: Give tip proof a tri-state (confirmed tip / confirmed absent / read failed) or an equivalent explicit failure arm, and skip lag observation on read failure. Keep the superseded-update and quarantine gates as-is. Add a test where rev-parse fails or times out for a zero-new_sha row and assert the histogram is not updated.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the contract on every In this PR row in one pass — helper, gate branch, and failure test together. Do not patch only the deletion if without fixing mirror_ref_tip semantics.
🚫 Out of scope: Rewriting the sync worker batch loop, changing quarantine or superseded-ref logic, altering the 24h origin clamp, changing MAX(applied_at) ?? created_at land propagation, or editing unrelated main replication/disposition code.

- mirror_ref_tip returns a TipProbe (Tip/Absent/Unknown): a failed
rev-parse is no longer a confirmed-absent ref, so a delete row only
samples sync lag on proven absence (regression test included)
- observe_push_duration now fires at the response paths (claim-loser and
post-effects), so the sample covers the whole handler interval the
client waits on rather than stopping before inline effects
P3 (delete-row lag gate):mirror_ref_tip now returns a three-valued TipProbe (Tip/Absent/Unknown) instead of Option<String>: rev-parse --verify --quiet exit 1 is a confirmed-absent ref, while a spawn error, the 10s timeout, or any other exit status is Unknown. The gate (extracted as observe_sync_lag_if_outcome_visible) treats Unknown as proving nothing and never samples. tip_probe_reports_tip_absent_and_unknown_distinctly covers the classification; lag_gate_skips_the_sample_when_the_tip_read_fails drives a failed rev-parse on a zero-new_sha row and asserts the histogram is not updated; lag_gate_samples_only_when_the_queued_outcome_is_proven keeps the confirmed-absent, still-present, and quarantined controls green.
Coderabbit duration item:observe_push_duration now fires at the response paths (the claim-loser arm and after the effects match), so the sample covers the whole handler interval the client waits on rather than stopping before inline effects. One sample per success path.

🔵 P3 — U5 inv22 gate no longer proves the proven-landed ref-set argument
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/tests/inv22_gates.rs (inv22_replication_tail_spawns_at_the_durability_boundary, ~583–589); production calls in crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs (~3344–3401).
💥 What fails: Runtime calls on this head still pass landed / landed_refs as intended. The static RED gate no longer proves that invariant. After slicing each post_receive_replication_tail( call, the test requires:
call.contains("landed")
Each spawn also passes Some(push_landed_at). The substring "landed" appears in that parameter name even if the ref vector were wrongly switched to unfiltered ref_updates, so the mutation the gate comment describes would not fail CI.
🔎 Root cause:2219c5d replaced merge-base call.contains("landed_refs") with a weaker rule after this PR added push_landed_at to the same call text. This is test-regression risk, not incorrect production tail args on the current head.
📜 Stated contract:
never the unfiltered ref_updates
(inv22_gates.rs, U5 gate comment)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced (2219c5d). Merge-base at 4fc041a used landed_refs only; tail calls had no push_landed_at argument.
api/repos.rs — spawn call sites (behavior already correct; matcher is what regressed)
🔒 Unchanged on main:post_git_disposition, spawn-before-release ordering, and in-task request_push_landed_at on this branch.
🔧 Required correction: Match the ref-update argument only (restore landed_refs / ,\n landed, as third arg, or parse args while excluding push_landed_at). Keep spawn detection, brace-depth, and ordering checks. Optional: document in-gate that a passing substring match does not prove args when push_landed_at is present.
🛠️ Author fix: Tighten the matcher for every production spawn in one edit to inv22_gates.rs; run cargo test -p gitlawb-node --test inv22_gates.
🚫 Out of scope: Reverting async spawn, changing replication-tail semantics, or editing unchanged disposition logic on main.
🔵 P3 — Push duration histogram help still describes inline effects, not the sampled interval
💥 What fails:d826a05 observes push duration on the claim-loser early return and after effects complete so the series reflects handler wall time until HTTP 200. Prometheus # HELP still ends with:
... from handler entry to the point its effects are recorded
On the claim-loser path this process returns 200 without running inline apply_request_effects; another worker may own effects. Operators can misread those samples as including local effect completion.
🔎 Root cause: Help text landed in 2219c5d; observe sites moved in d826a05 without updating the in-diff operator string to match.
📜 Stated contract:
observe_push_duration now fires at the response paths (claim-loser and post-effects), so the sample covers the whole handler interval the client waits on
(d826a05 commit message, aligned with observe placement on this head)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base had no push-duration histogram or this help line.
📌 In this PR:

🔒 Unchanged on main:gitlawb_pushes_total increment semantics.
🔧 Required correction: Rewrite the histogram help to describe handler wall time through the HTTP response (including claim-loser returns), not “effects are recorded” on this node. Align the module-level bullet for push duration if it repeats the same claim.

- inv22_gates U5: match the third call argument against landed/landed_refs
instead of contains("landed"), which push_landed_at also satisfied and
made the proven-landed check vacuous.
- metrics: gitlawb_push_duration_seconds help now describes handler wall
time through the response including claim-loser returns.
- sync: log mirror-repo registration failures instead of silently
discarding them.
Addressed on f1b21ebb, with origin/main merged in on 7a54c0d2.
U5 gate matcher: the weakened call.contains("landed") was indeed vacuous: both production spawns pass Some(push_landed_at), so the substring matched regardless of the ref-set argument. The gate now parses the third call argument and requires it to be exactly landed or landed_refs. Verified both directions: mutating the carve-out spawn's ref arg to ref_updates makes the gate fail with "must carry the proven-landed ref set"; on the merged head cargo test -p gitlawb-node --test inv22_gates is 12/12.
Push-duration help:gitlawb_push_duration_seconds now reads "from handler entry to its response, including claim-loser returns where another worker owns the effects", matching the observe sites at the claim-loser arm and after the effects match. The module bullet names the metric without repeating the stale claim.
Also picked up:upsert_mirror_repo in sync.rs now logs a warn on failure instead of silently discarding the error (earlier nitpick that was still unapplied).
Merge-readiness notes: branch is synced with origin/main (merge commit 7a54c0d2, main now includes the #576 doc). test (stable) failure on discovery_record_elapsed_leaves_neither_row is outside this diff; CI re-runs on the new head and we will see whether it reproduces. needs-issue stays: protocol change is disclosed in the PR body and the v0/v1 rollout-order decision is tracked in #582, which covers the tracking requirement.

Merge/process notes from the earlier comment still apply (needs-issue, coordinated v1 + lag_origin rollout per #582, beta-only reconciliation test outside this diff with stable green on the same run). Those are maintainer gates, not blockers to this approval on the implementation reviewed.

Summary
Adds
gitlawb_push_duration_seconds,gitlawb_fetch_duration_seconds, andgitlawb_sync_lag_secondshistograms so operators can see push/fetch handlerlatency and how long an origin ref update takes to become visible on this
mirror. Carried over from #362 with the outstanding review asks landed.
Motivation & context
Push and fetch traffic had counters but no latency signal, and mirror lag
could only be inferred from logs. The new metrics close the gap; the sync-lag
observation rides the ref-update origin timestamp over both gossip and HTTP.
Kind of change
What changed
crates/gitlawb-node/src/metrics.rs: the three histograms plus a sharedoperation-duration bucket set; registered in the existing init path.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs: migration v47 adds a nullableorigin_timestampcolumn tosync_queue;enqueue_sync/dequeuecarry it(older peers and manually triggered syncs stay NULL and report no lag).
crates/gitlawb-node/src/sync.rs:sync_lag_from_origin_timestampand theobservation site.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/peers.rsandp2p/mod.rs: the origintimestamp travels on
/api/v1/sync/notifyand gossip ref-updates.crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs: push and fetch handler durations.review finding:
upsert_mirror_repopoint, so themetric reads push-to-visible instead of push-to-fully-replicated
no visibility lag
MAX_SYNC_LAG_OBSERVATION(24h) discards absurd sender-supplied originages; the timestamp is unauthenticated peer input and a 1970 date would
otherwise park a fabricated observation in the tail buckets
How a reviewer can verify
cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node -- migration_v47The migration test asserts the column round-trips an enqueued timestamp; the
metrics init test asserts all three histogram TYPE lines in the rendered
output.

no lag is recorded, which is the same behavior as before this feature
existed.
Notes for reviewers
Carries
needs-issuelike the original: this feature landed without alinked tracking issue, so the metric-boundary decision lives in this PR
description rather than an issue thread.
