Ratchet bolt-down (c), slice 1 of 3 — the statistic and the store reader
Size S (past the 400-line XS cap), one-line why: 60 of the 480 lines are the one-sided-99% t-quantile table and the docstring that justifies the statistic with numbers; the tests prove the module and cannot be reviewed apart from it. No consumer changes here — slice 2 (sprint_gate.py) and slice 3 (ci_ratchet_table.py) stack on this branch.
What it does
measured_margin(values): over ≥5 attested green main runs, limit = mean + t(0.99, n-1) · s · √(1 + 1/n). Fewer than five → unmeasured, every numeric field None, describe() prints the count and no limit.
load_attestations(root): reads the attestation.json artifacts that (b)'s ratchet-attest.yml publishes from main (schema 1; validates run_id, 40-hex main_sha, measured_at, measured). Missing root = error; empty dir = bootstrap, 0 runs. No second store, no default path, no inline live values.
Keys read from (b)'s flat measured map: latency_baseline_ms.p50, latency_baseline_ms.p95, idle_cpu_pct.<process>.
Why this statistic, with the numbers (orc: "justify the choice in the PR")
candidate
false-RED rate per row per run at n=5
note
max of the 5 runs (a percentile)

7.1% (t₄ tail past 2/√1.2)
still one in fourteen
mean + t(0.99, n−1)·s·√(1+1/n)
1% by construction
k = 4.10 at n=5, 2.96 at n=10, 2.55 at n=30 — the band tightens as attested runs accumulate, which is what a ratchet should do
Log-scale (for latency's right skew) was rejected on the real data: it widened the p50 limit to ×3.5 instead of ×2.06 because the outlier in that series is low (98 ms), and idle CPU can be 0.0. t-quantiles checked against scipy 1.17.0 (t.ppf(0.99, df)).
Real data, not invented (tests/test_ratchet_margins.py::test_real_green_main_p50_history_...)
Seven sprint-gate p50 values recorded on green main 2026-09-01..02, socket-measured on the calibrated host: 185, 210, 214.6, 98.4, 291.4, 293.9, 281.4 ms (resign-1.5.10.log, w12b/w12c/w8 reports, a5 bench).
mean 225.0, σ 71.1, n=7 → k 3.36 → limit 463.7 ms (×2.06)
A flat 10% around that mean (247.5 ms) would have been RED on 3 of the 7 green-main runs.
The corpus baseline the flat 10% multiplies today is 911.887 ms (captured under active_sprint_load), limit 1003 ms: a two-fold regression to 900 ms is GREEN. Both failure modes, one constant. That finding is the reason for slice 2.
Premise corrections from the brief, with evidence
The flat 10% is not in ci_ratchet_table.py — that table has no numeric comparison. It is thresholds.latency_regression_fraction in corpus.json, consumed by sprint_gate.py:check_search.
There are zero "green main runs" in CI: ratchet.yml triggers on pull_request only (30 runs, all PR branches). The fixture-bound rows have no CI series and will read unmeasured — 0 of the 5 from (b)'s store until a Mac-side measurement enters it via the workflow_dispatch writer. Stated, not faked.
Tests
tests/test_ratchet_margins.py: 28 passed. ruff check + ruff format --check clean. Standing rules honoured: no full suite, nice -n 15, canonical DB untouched.
Medium Risk
New foundation for CI performance gating with strict fail-closed validation; behavior is isolated until follow-up slices wire consumers, but mistakes here would directly affect pass/fail semantics.
Overview
Adds scripts/ratchet_margins.py and tests/test_ratchet_margins.py as the first slice of ratchet bolt-down: replace hand-picked flat gates with bands derived only from ratchet-attestation artifacts on green main. No sprint gate or CI table wiring in this PR.
Statistic: With at least five attested values per metric, compute a one-sided 99% prediction limit (mean + t(0.99, n−1) · s · √(1 + 1/n)), with a fixed t table for df 4–29 and Cornish–Fisher beyond that (avoids a normal fallback that would tighten bands and inflate false REDs). Fewer than five runs → unmeasured with no numeric limit; within / judge expose PASS / FAIL / UNMEASURED so unmeasured state cannot be mistaken for pass.
Store reader:load_attestations walks downloaded attestation.json trees, validates schema 1 (run_id, 40-hex main_sha, measured_at, finite non-negative measured values), rejects duplicate run_ids (int/string normalized), and surfaces scan/parse failures as AttestationError instead of silent bootstrap or limit=inf bypass. Helpers target latency p50/p95 and per-process idle CPU keys from the flat measured map.
Tests lock the math against real green-main p50 history, idle-CPU soak behavior, and reviewer-driven edge cases (malformed attestations, permissions on walk, bad inputs before “unmeasured”).

Note
Add ratchet_margins module with margin statistic and attestation store reader
Introduces scripts/ratchet_margins.py with a Margin dataclass, measured_margin calculator, load_attestations store loader, and within/judge/describe verdict helpers.
Fewer than 5 valid runs produce an explicitly unmeasured margin with no limit; at least 5 runs compute a one-sided 99% Student-t prediction limit via t_quantile (table for df 4–29, finite-df Cornish-Fisher beyond).
Attestations load from a single file or recursively scanned directory; malformed documents, duplicate runs, invalid measured values, and filesystem scan errors all raise AttestationError (fail-closed).
Verdict helpers expose three distinct states — PASS, FAIL, UNMEASURED — so consumers cannot collapse an unmeasured margin into a passing boolean.
Behavioral Change: invalid run identifiers, non-finite or negative measured values, and duplicate runs (including int/string equivalence) are rejected at load time rather than silently coerced or ignored; a missing attestation root now raises AttestationError instead of being treated as zero runs.
…measured` — the statistic and the store reader (c, 1/3)
A row's limit is a one-sided 99% prediction limit for one run, mean + t(0.99, n-1)·s·√(1+1/n),
over ≥5 attested green main runs; fewer renders `unmeasured` and no number. Reads the
attestation.json artifacts (b) publishes from ratchet-attest.yml on main; nothing else, no
default path, no inline live values. No consumer yet: sprint_gate (2/3) and the table (3/3) follow.

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The PR adds scripts/ratchet_margins.py for validated attestation loading, per-key measurement extraction, and one-sided 99% prediction limits. It adds tests for statistics, malformed inputs, duplicate runs, numeric edge cases, and idle-CPU data.
Changes
Ratchet margins
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Attestation loading and validation scripts/ratchet_margins.py, tests/test_ratchet_margins.py
The module discovers schema-1 attestation.json files, validates run metadata and measured values, rejects duplicate runs, and reports filesystem or parsing errors as AttestationError.
The module computes measured margins with Student-t quantiles and returns unmeasured margins below five valid runs. Tests cover quantile behavior, formatting, verdicts, zero variance, and numeric overflow.
Measurement series and key integration scripts/ratchet_margins.py, tests/test_ratchet_margins.py
The module extracts nested per-key series, builds idle-CPU keys, and computes margins from attested values. Tests cover missing keys and real green-main measurements.
This adds attestation-based ratchet-margin calculations, but invalid short inputs can be accepted and duplicated inline runs can produce misleading measured limits. These correctness issues should be fixed before the margin module is relied on.

Replaced in 096b078 with an explicit ValueError: under python -O the assert would vanish and describe() would print limit None ms as if it were a number. Pinned by test_describe_refuses_a_measured_margin_that_lost_its_numbers.
… the table, no assert, fail-closed store reads
- t_quantile past df=29: Cornish-Fisher expansion (|err| <= 1e-5 vs scipy for df >= 30) instead of the
bare normal quantile, which is TIGHTER than every finite-df t (Macroscope, false-RED direction).
- describe(): explicit ValueError instead of an assert that -O would strip (DeepSource).
- load_attestations: OSError while scanning -> AttestationError, and os.walk(onerror=raise) instead of
rglob, which swallows PermissionError and would have read an unreadable store as zero runs.
- Duplicate run_id across files is a malformed store, not two observations (Macroscope).
- Every measured value is validated at load (finite, non-negative, or null), so a loaded store can
always be read and no row builder is the first place a bad value surfaces (Macroscope, #765).

…d sum overflows become refusals (Macroscope round 2)
- limit=inf would have made within() True for every value and switched the row's gate off silently.
- mean via fsum(value/n); OverflowError anywhere in the band -> AttestationError.
- honest_value compares ints directly (math.isfinite(int) overflows past float range).
- minimum_runs below the t-table's floor is a ValueError up front, not a stdev/t_quantile failure later.

Lead review round 1 (Cursor pass) — disposition, head abee7355
finding
disposition
medium Z_99 fallback past df=29 is tighter than t
Fixed earlier, 096b078 (also raised by Macroscope). t_quantile uses the Cornish–Fisher expansion past the table (scripts/ratchet_margins.py:139), ≤1e-5 vs scipy for df ≥ 30; docstring corrected; six scipy-pinned values + a monotonicity test.
mediumminimum_runs below 5 crashes in t_quantile
Refuted as "crash", fixed as "late": it is a ValueError at the top of measured_margin (scripts/ratchet_margins.py:157, 4674783), before any count check. minimum_runs is a keyword set by code, never by data; a caller passing a floor the t-table cannot serve has a bug, and unmeasured would dress that bug up as a data state. A ValueError at the call site is the contract, not a crash — the store path never passes it.
Real, fixed in abee735: every input goes through honest_value (:165), and independently a non-finite limit is refused (4674783). test_measured_margin_refuses_a_value_it_would_not_accept_from_a_store, test_a_non_finite_band_is_refused_not_applied.
low no positive idle-CPU coverage
Fixed in abee735:test_idle_cpu_key_carries_a_real_band_end_to_end — R3's numbers, 4.88% inside the band, 6.41% outside.
low no dedup by run_id
Fixed earlier, 096b078, and in abee735 the rule became reject_duplicate_runs (:235) so the fixture path in #764 uses the same one. A duplicate is a refusal, not a silent dedup.

@EtanHey Review complete. I found no new correctness issues in the current head.
The module remains reader-only in this slice. The GitHub test, lint, and ratchet-table checks are successful. The attestation writer is outside this pull request, so its end-to-end producer integration remains for the stacked slices.

Lead review round 2 (final Cursor round) — disposition, head e6f22198
Lead must-answer 1 — margin_for/series never dedup (HIGH, blocks merge). Not true on the current head, and the store path never had the gap: load_attestations has rejected duplicate run_id since 096b078 (scripts/ratchet_margins.py:253), and margin_for applies the same rule itself since 96e1b37 (:386), before series runs. Cursor read ccdf2357, which predates the second. Pinned by test_margin_for_refuses_duplicate_runs_even_when_handed_an_inline_list and test_the_same_run_twice_is_a_malformed_store_not_two_observations. So: a duplicate artifact cannot shrink σ on either path.

lowwithin does not validate the live candidate
Taken: a nan/inf/negative live value is a ValueError ("refusing to judge it"), not RED — a probe failure is not a regression (:189). In the gate that surfaces as the check's structured error.
Also since round 1 on this PR: CodeRabbit's two findings taken (validate-before-unmeasured-return; margin_for dedup), a boolean schema refused, and validate_attestation split per field for DeepSource's complexity metric. 59 tests, ruff clean.

Ratchet bolt-down (c), slice 1 of 3 — the statistic and the store reader
Size S (past the 400-line XS cap), one-line why: 60 of the 480 lines are the one-sided-99% t-quantile table and the docstring that justifies the statistic with numbers; the tests prove the module and cannot be reviewed apart from it. No consumer changes here — slice 2 (

Log-scale (for latency's right skew) was rejected on the real data: it widened the p50 limit to ×3.5 instead of ×2.06 because the outlier in that series is low (98 ms), and idle CPU can be 0.0. t-quantiles checked against scipy 1.17.0 (

scripts/ratchet_margins.pyandtests/test_ratchet_margins.pyas the first slice of ratchet bolt-down: replace hand-picked flat gates with bands derived only fromratchet-attestationartifacts on greenmain. No sprint gate or CI table wiring in this PR.Statistic: With at least five attested values per metric, compute a one-sided 99% prediction limit (
mean + t(0.99, n−1) · s · √(1 + 1/n)), with a fixed t table for df 4–29 and Cornish–Fisher beyond that (avoids a normal fallback that would tighten bands and inflate false REDs). Fewer than five runs →unmeasuredwith no numeric limit;within/judgeexpose PASS / FAIL / UNMEASURED so unmeasured state cannot be mistaken for pass.Store reader:
load_attestationswalks downloadedattestation.jsontrees, validates schema 1 (run_id, 40-hexmain_sha,measured_at, finite non-negativemeasuredvalues), rejects duplicaterun_ids (int/string normalized), and surfaces scan/parse failures asAttestationErrorinstead of silent bootstrap orlimit=infbypass. Helpers target latency p50/p95 and per-process idle CPU keys from the flatmeasuredmap.Tests lock the math against real green-main p50 history, idle-CPU soak behavior, and reviewer-driven edge cases (malformed attestations, permissions on walk, bad inputs before “unmeasured”).
