feat(api): IERD-Q6 Phase-4 entry — server_compute latency budget gate#550
Conversation
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.

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.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
… 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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * 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).
