Completes quest/m1/gate-cpu-weight.md (deleted here).

Summary

Gated commands now yield the CPU to the interactive session. Admission is unchanged.

  • Linux with systemd: each gated command runs in its own scope in background.slice. The user manager ships that slice at CPUWeight=30, against 100 for app.slice and session.slice.
  • Inside a Quest scope (quest worktree run, whether delegated or not): the gate no longer nests a child cgroup (nest) and no longer runs the command in place (inside). It now starts a sibling background scope, bound to the enclosing scope with BindsTo= and KillSignal=SIGKILL. This reuses the within binding systemdScopes.run already had. The enclosing scope keeps its slice and weight, so only the gated command yields.
  • Process-group owner (macOS, and Linux without systemd): runs the command under nice -n 10.
  • Windows: the Job Object stub sets itself to BELOW_NORMAL priority before it spawns the command, and children inherit that class.
  • Removed: nest, delegated, signalGroup, prune, Delegate=yes on scopes, and Containment.inside. The README now describes the new behavior.

How the gated command stays reachable outside the enclosing cgroup

  • Stopping the enclosing run (cgroup.kill or Scopes.stop): the gate process dies, the enclosing scope empties and goes inactive, and BindsTo= stops the sibling with SIGKILL. A new test covers this ("is stopped when the enclosing scope's owner kills it"). The command ignores SIGTERM, so only the bound stop can end it.
  • Forwarded signal: the enclosing owner signals the gate process, and the gate forwards the signal to its own scope (contain with inside false). The existing tests "lets a phase finish its cleanup..." and "cancelled by its caller..." pass unchanged in this shape, and each confirms the signal arrives exactly once.
  • Liveness in worktree.ts: the gate process stays in the enclosing scope for as long as its command runs, so live() still reports the run.
  • Bound scopes in stop and liveness: Scopes.live, Scopes.stop, and a run's end also find gate scopes bound to the unit (BindsTo=), so a run reports live, and a stop or run resolves, only once those are empty too (review round 1).

Measurements

Real workload (moq-dev/moq)

Each gate ran nix develop -c just check --all at moq-dev/moq e336afb6 in its own worktree. That is the full suite; the justfile no longer has a separate test recipe. Every phase ran under quest gate --host. "Before" used a checkout of main and "after" this branch (34a0aad1). Each gate ran through that checkout's own owner(), so it got the scope that version creates: app.slice before, background.slice after. Host: 24 cores. 1-minute load average 3.4 to 4.4 between runs, peaking at 9 to 13.5 during the pairs, with other agents' sessions idle-ish. The shared cargo/ccache caches were warm, so each gate took about 830 to 900 CPU-s, not the 2,600 CPU-s of a cold run (measured once at 2,608 CPU-s, 388 s wall). Every run's suite exited 1 on the same flaky test gh case (test_overlap), which ran its full length.

The probe ran in an app.slice scope for each pair's duration: 4 busy workers (throughput) plus a 1 ms sleeper (wake-up latency).

Run Gate wall times (s) Probe throughput Wake-up p99 / p99.9 / max
No gates - 327.6M/s 0.23 / 0.31 / 2.1 ms
Solo, before 221.3 - -
Solo, after 208.6 - -
Pair, before (1) 234.4, 239.3 311.4M/s 0.66 / 2.80 / 9.2 ms
Pair, after (1) 236.6, 240.8 310.0M/s 0.73 / 2.80 / 19.3 ms
Pair, after (2) 241.1, 235.3 308.1M/s 0.65 / 2.79 / 4.9 ms
Pair, before (2) 242.1, 242.1 323.2M/s 0.62 / 2.71 / 5.4 ms
  • No measurable effect either way. Two warm gates plus the probe peaked at load 13.5 on 24 cores, so the CPU was never oversubscribed and the weights never came into play. The session probe lost about 5% throughput and gained about 0.4 ms of p99 wake-up latency in both setups alike.
  • Gate wall time did not change materially: pairs averaged 237.5 s before and 238.5 s after, within run-to-run noise.
  • Only a saturated host would show the benefit, as in the synthetic runs below: cold builds, or three or more concurrent gates.

Synthetic workload (earlier round)

Host: 24 cores. Every pair ran under quest gate --host, so no other gated command was running, but other agents' sessions still loaded the host. The 1-minute load average was 9 to 48 during the runs, as recorded in each run's "load before" and "load after". The workload is synthetic: each "gate" is a scope running 24 CPU-bound Python loops of fixed work. The "before" runs use the same systemd-run --scope as the old code (app.slice, weight 100), and the "after" runs add --slice=background.slice.

Wall time for one gate alone barely changes: 18.8 s in app.slice and 18.3 s in background.slice.

The table shows a session probe running 24 busy processes in an app.slice scope, against two concurrent gates. The probe's throughput was 18,342 units/s on an otherwise loaded host with no gates running.

Gate slice Session probe (units/s) Gate wall times
app (before) 7,516 / 7,168 40.0, 42.2 / 40.5, 41.6 s
background (after) 8,084 / 9,292 41.1, 42.5 / 42.9, 43.5 s
  • Session throughput: about 19% higher with gates in the background slice, which is less than the 100:30 weights would predict. The likely cause is that other agents' quest-worktree scopes also sit in app.slice and compete with the probe there, and the load average rose across the runs.
  • Gate wall time: rose 1 to 4% in the pair runs.
  • Wake-up latency of a 2 ms sleeper in app.slice was the same in both setups (p99 about 1 ms), because that probe needs far less than one core.

Because the load average rose across the runs, read these numbers as directional only.

Choices made without asking

  • I used background.slice rather than a custom CPUWeight on app.slice. It is the slice systemd ships for this kind of work.
  • No IOWeight change. The verification was CPU-bound and showed no disk stall.
  • On the process-group path, the gate runs the command through the nice binary instead of calling setPriority after the spawn, which would leave a race. The trade-off: a missing command now fails through nice with exit 127, not as a spawn error.

Public API

There is no wire impact. Exported internals changed: nested was removed from gate.ts, bound(unit) was added, and nest and delegated were removed from supervise.ts. Quest scopes are no longer delegated.

Decisions

  • Measurement (/quest-complete, 2026-11-09): ✅ run the real two-gate measurement before merging (rejected: merge on the synthetic evidence; skip).
  • After the real measurement (maintainer, 2026-11-09): ✅ merge anyway (rejected: measure again under saturation first; drop the change). The real run measured no cost, and the benefit appears exactly when the CPU is oversubscribed, as in the quest's original cold-gate case. The real and synthetic numbers above are the evidence.

Follow-ups

None.

Linux runs each gated command in a systemd scope in background.slice
(CPUWeight=30), also inside a Quest scope, where the gate's scope is a
sibling bound to the enclosing one instead of a child cgroup. The process
group owner runs it under nice -n 10, and the Windows stub drops to
below-normal priority. Drops the delegated child-cgroup path (nest).

Walkthrough

Gate commands on Linux now use background systemd scopes, including scopes bound to enclosing Quest scopes. The enclosing scope owner tracks and stops bound gate scopes, and containment forwards accepted signals. The process-group path uses nice -n 10, and the Windows stub runs below normal priority. Tests and README documentation now reflect these behaviors.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 34a0a

Gated commands now run at lower CPU priority without changing admission. One README paragraph still describes the old signal-forwarding behavior for gates inside a Quest scope. Fix the doc before or soon after merge; there is no known functional blocker.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head: 34a0aad

No actionable code findings in the reviewed changes.

Direction: moving only admitted commands into background scopes preserves the enclosing session's CPU priority. I traced owner selection, signal forwarding, bound-scope termination, worktree liveness/cleanup, the process-group nice wrapper, and the Windows stub. The added bound-scope accounting in live(), stop(), and run completion addresses the cleanup gap described in the local review, and the tests exercise both graceful cancellation and the enclosing owner's kill.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review; no repository code, tests, builds, systemd experiments, or Windows execution performed. At inspection, GitHub showed the build and x86_64 Linux/Windows checks passing, with the two aarch64 checks still running. The PR's measurements are synthetic and explicitly subject to background-load variation; they do not verify the quest's requested real-repository concurrent check/test workload or establish a general responsiveness improvement. Run and record that workload before relying on the performance claim.

README.md:1207-1211
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Fix the stale signal-forwarding paragraph for gates inside a Quest scope.

Lines 1195-1200 now say a gate inside another Quest scope forwards the enclosing owner's signals to its bound scope. This paragraph still says such a gate "leaves both the signal" to the enclosing owner. It also says a kill sent to such a gate alone "does not reach its command".

That is no longer true for an unadmitted gate inside a Quest scope, which owner now maps to bound(enclosing.unit). In that case:

  • contain calls forwards.
  • forwards returns true for a received SIGTERM.
  • describe.signal then delivers the signal to the gate's scope.

Only the second-signal kill stays with the enclosing owner. A nested gate, which runs as inside, still leaves the signal to the enclosing owner.

Reword the paragraph so these two cases are separate.

Strengthen the owner assertion so it rejects group and job.

The old test expected inside. The new assertion excludes only direct, inside, and scope. It still passes if owner({}, worktree) wrongly returns group or job. bound(...) returns a new closure each call, so the test cannot compare it by identity.

Exclude all five named owners to narrow the accepted set.

Proposed change

-	expect([direct, inside, scope]).not.toContain(owner({}, worktree));
+	expect([direct, inside, scope, group, job]).not.toContain(owner({}, worktree));

Import group and job in this test file if they are not already imported.

codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort land fixer note:

The queue failure is runner disk exhaustion. Failure log line 2199 says:

Error: ENOSPC: no space left on device, mkdir '/var/cache/github-runner-work/_temp/nix-shell.DAvUow/quest-worktree-test-xVaDMj/state/lock.8f442504-0e54-4493-9764-50ab198d7743'

Line 2206 confirms code: 'ENOSPC' and errno: -28. The runner also warned at startup that only 4.2 GiB remained after collection. No evidence implicates this PR, and its pinned branch is unchanged.

A conflict-free scratch merge with base passed just install, just check, and nix flake check --option substituters ''. just test completed with 1175 passed, 5 skipped, and 2 failed: the gateway test in test/review.test.ts:505 returned 3 instead of 1, and the usage test in test/usage.test.ts:407 omitted a session. Both failures also reproduce on base alone using bun run test test/review.test.ts -t 'Codex reaches a gateway' and bun run test test/usage.test.ts. The usage fixture assumes /work is a deleted checkout, but /work is this environment's repository.

Separately passed the remaining recipe steps: bash scripts/install-check.test.sh, bash scripts/installer.test.sh, bun run build, bash scripts/lifecycle-check.sh "$PWD/dist/quest.js", bun run compile, and bash scripts/lifecycle-check.sh "$PWD/dist/quest". Full passing verification is required for requeue, so this is handed back without a code change. Restore disk headroom and address the base/environment test failures before retrying.

codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort land fixer: Queue just test failed with ENOSPC (runner disk exhaustion); scratch-merge just test also fails: test/review.test.ts:505 'AssertionError: expected 3 to be 1' and test/usage.test.ts:407 session mismatc. Recommendation: Restore runner disk headroom and re·solve the base/environment test failures, then rerun just check and just test before requeueing the unchanged PR.

quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at 34a0aad because its merge_group build failed (failed_checks).

The land fixer works on it in the background, and the watcher re-enqueues it at the back of the queue once it is fixed or judged flaky, or hands it back here with what it needs.
