Resolves part of #531 (IERD-Q6) — Phase-4 ENTRY only (server_compute layer).

Summary

  • Adds a server-compute latency budget gate against application.api.service.create_app() running in-process via Starlette TestClient. Asserts:
    • /metrics (simple tier): p95 < 100 ms over 200 samples
    • /health (interactive tier): p95 < 200 ms over 200 samples
  • Phase-4 EXIT (claim re-classified ANCHORED) is a follow-up after the remaining three layers (client_render via Lighthouse CI, network_TTFB via HTTP timing, db_io via driver telemetry) land under the same claim.

What this lands

File Purpose
tests/api/test_latency_budget_server_compute.py parametrised pytest with 20-sample warmup + 200 timed samples per endpoint; mypy --strict + ruff clean
.github/workflows/latency-budget.yml path-filtered CI workflow; pinned actions; continue-on-error: true on the run step (Q4 lesson: job-level breaks GitHub check resolution); artifacts 14-day retention; Step Summary [latency] lines
docs/CLAIMS.yaml e2e-latency-budget-compliance evidence_paths extended; remains EXTRAPOLATED with Phase-4 EXIT enumeration
.claude/commit_acceptors/ierd-q6-server-latency-budget-gate.yaml diff-bound acceptor with falsifier guarding the run-step continue-on-error: true invariant

Local measurement (development laptop, native Python 3.12)

[latency] /health    tier=interactive  p50=2.02ms  p95=3.83ms  p99=4.77ms  budget=200ms  n=200
[latency] /metrics   tier=simple       p50=3.19ms  p95=4.58ms  p99=5.18ms  budget=100ms  n=200

Both endpoints sit at ~5% of the budget. CI overhead (1.2-1.6× vs bare metal) leaves comfortable headroom.

What this does NOT do

  • Does not flip the gate fail-closed. Phase-4 ENTRY only.
  • Does not measure client_render / network_TTFB / db_io. Those are Phase-4 EXIT follow-ups under the same claim.
  • Does not add Lighthouse CI, Grafana dashboards, or Web Vitals reporting.
  • Does not touch existing Prometheus middleware behaviour — it's referenced as evidence path only.

References

Test plan

  • PR Gate green (mypy, ruff, repo-policy, commit-acceptor)
  • Latency Budget workflow runs and uploads latency-budget-results artifact
  • Step Summary contains the [latency] /health ... and [latency] /metrics ... lines
  • Claim Evidence Gate green (CLAIMS.yaml structurally valid; new evidence_paths exist)
  • No regression in existing tests/api/test_*.py

Wires a server-compute latency budget gate against the in-process
FastAPI app produced by application.api.service.create_app() and runs
it on every PR touching application/api/** or core/utils/metrics.py.

Why
---
IERD-PAI-FPS-UX-001 §5 + ADR 0020 require the four-layer end-to-end
budget (client_render, network_TTFB, server_compute, db_io) to be
gated. Phase-4 ENTRY ships the server_compute layer first because it
is in-process measurable today; client_render (Lighthouse CI),
network_TTFB (HTTP timing), and db_io (driver telemetry) follow under
the same claim and graduate the entry to Phase-4 EXIT.

What
----
* tests/api/test_latency_budget_server_compute.py
  - Starlette TestClient against create_app(); 20-sample warmup +
    200 timed samples per endpoint via perf_counter
  - parametrised on (path, budget, tier):
      /metrics  simple       p95 < 100 ms
      /health   interactive  p95 < 200 ms
  - emits a structured `[latency] ...` line per case for the Step Summary
  - mypy --strict + ruff clean

* .github/workflows/latency-budget.yml
  - PR + merge_group + push triggers, path-filtered to API surface
  - actions pinned by 40-char SHA per repo-policy
  - permissions: contents: read (least privilege)
  - continue-on-error: true on the run STEP (Q4 lesson: job-level
    breaks check API resolution; step-level keeps job green)
  - artifacts uploaded for triage (junit.xml + run.log, 14-day retention)
  - GitHub Step Summary tail extracts the [latency] lines

* docs/CLAIMS.yaml
  - `e2e-latency-budget-compliance` evidence_paths extended:
    test, workflow, prometheus middleware
  - description tightened to enumerate Phase-4 EXIT gaps (Lighthouse,
    TTFB, db_io, Grafana)

* .claude/commit_acceptors/ierd-q6-server-latency-budget-gate.yaml
  - diff scope, required Python symbols, expected signal,
    measurement command, falsifier (workflow run step must keep
    continue-on-error: true until Phase-4 EXIT — same pattern as Q4)

Local verification
------------------
mypy: Success: no issues found in 1 source file
ruff: All checks passed!
pytest:
  [latency] /health   tier=interactive p50=2.02ms p95=3.83ms p99=4.77ms budget=200ms n=200
  [latency] /metrics  tier=simple      p50=3.19ms p95=4.58ms p99=5.18ms budget=100ms n=200

Comfortable headroom on both endpoints. CI overhead (1.2-1.6× vs
bare metal) leaves the gate well inside the IERD §5 numbers.

P2 Badge Use TestClient context to run lifespan

When this fixture constructs TestClient without entering it as a context manager, Starlette does not run FastAPI lifespan/startup/shutdown handlers; create_app() already registers startup/shutdown hooks for MetricsSampler. That means this latency gate measures a pre-lifespan app rather than the canonical service it claims to gate, so latency or behavior tied to startup-managed components can be missed. Yield the client from with TestClient(app) as client: so the app lifecycle is exercised during the samples.

… pristine

CI surfaced that python-fast-tests failed with:
  AssertionError: expectations failed with issues:
  [{'code': 'above_max', 'message': 'value 230.0 exceeds maximum 100.0',
    'metric': 'geosync_api_request_latency_seconds'}]

The latency-budget suite fires ~440 requests against /health and
/metrics. Each is observed by PrometheusMetricsMiddleware, accumulating
in the global default Prometheus REGISTRY (because the singleton
get_metrics_collector() is keyed by registry).
tests/observability/test_metrics_expectations.py reads the same
registry and applies a uniform max=100 rule across every sample of
geosync_api_request_latency_seconds — including the histogram _count
series — which trips on the inflated observation count.

Setting GEOSYNC_DISABLE_METRICS=1 before importing the app routes
create_app() onto a fresh CollectorRegistry. The /metrics endpoint
still works (collector enabled, just isolated). The global default
REGISTRY stays pristine for downstream tests.

Verified locally: latency-budget + full metrics-expectations module
both green when run in the same pytest session.

Also pinned the env var explicitly in the workflow for clarity.

* chore(audit): close 3 governance debt items from 2026-05-07 codebase audit

After the IERD-Q4 Phase-3 EXIT (PR #551) and typed governance models
(PR #552) landed, an audit across docs/CLAIMS.yaml, every
.claude/commit_acceptors/*.yaml, and the .github/workflows tree
surfaced three concrete contradictions. This PR closes them.

1. README invariant-count drift
-------------------------------
* README.md:12  badge invariants-87  → invariants-90
* README.md:35  badge physics_gate-87_invariants → 90_invariants
* README.md:175 table "87 in INVARIANTS.yaml" → "90 in INVARIANTS.yaml"

`python scripts/count_invariants.py` is authoritative — returns 90.
The body prose at lines 24/148/781 already said 90; the badges and
the headline table were stale. CI gate `invariant-count-sync` did
not catch the drift because shields-style markdown badges sit
outside the regex it audits.

2. commit-acceptor-gate.yml self-contradiction
----------------------------------------------
The workflow that enforces architectural-boundary contracts
(forbidden imports, diff-bound acceptors, claim_type caps) used
floating action tags:

  - actions/checkout@v6
  - actions/setup-python@v6

while every other workflow pins by 40-char SHA. The repo-policy
gate explicitly checks that all third-party actions are pinned.
Repinned both to the canonical SHAs already used elsewhere
(de0fac2e... v6.0.2, a309ff8b... v6) so the gate now follows the
discipline it prescribes.

3. Latency-budget test isolation regression
-------------------------------------------
The PR #550 implementation set five env vars at module import time
(four `os.environ.setdefault` + one unconditional
`os.environ["GEOSYNC_DISABLE_METRICS"] = "1"`). Pytest collects the
module before fixtures run, so those mutations leaked across the
session boundary, polluting downstream test modules.

Refactor: env-var window is now bounded to the lifetime of the
module-scoped `client` fixture, which snapshots → applies overrides →
yields → restores. `create_app` is imported lazily through
`importlib` inside the same window so settings (Pydantic, env-driven)
resolve under the overrides, not under whatever leaked from upstream
test modules.

Co-running this test with tests/observability/test_metrics_expectations.py
now passes 6/6 (was 3/6 before the fix).

Local verification
------------------
mypy --strict + ruff: clean on the touched test
pytest tests/api/test_latency_budget_server_compute.py
       tests/observability/test_metrics_expectations.py -q: 6/6 pass
python scripts/count_invariants.py: 90
commit_acceptor validator: exit 0

* fix(secrets): add pragma allowlist on test fixture env-var dict

detect-secrets flags the literal strings 'audit_secret' and
'rbac_secret' in the new _REQUIRED_ENV dict (same keyword-detector
pattern as in the workflow YAML, where the inline pragma is already
applied). The values are non-real test fixtures.
