## Executive Summary

**cbtop** (Compute Block Top) is a real-time load testing and hardware monitoring TUI built on the Brick Architecture. It provides:

1. **ComputeBrick**: Token-centric compute units with built-in assertions, budgets, and verification
2. **Load Generation**: Programmable compute workloads via SIMD, wgpu, and CUDA backends
3. **Hardware Monitoring**: Real-time visibility into CPU, GPU, PCIe, and memory subsystems
4. **Visual Analytics**: ttop-style aesthetics with braille graphs, meters, and heatmaps
5. **Test-as-Interface**: Every component is a falsifiable Brick per PROBAR-SPEC-009

**Core Insight**: A **token** is the unit of data; a **ComputeBrick** is the unit of compute. Performance budgets are expressed in tokens/sec, aligning with LLM inference metrics.

**Key Innovation**: Unlike passive monitors (htop, btop, nvtop), cbtop actively generates controlled loads while measuring system response—enabling performance characterization, thermal throttling detection, and bottleneck identification.

**Design Philosophy**: "Own the Stack" — Pure Rust, no external TUI libraries, presentar framework only.

## 1. Canonical Design Authority

> **This specification MUST align with:**
>
> 1. **PROBAR-SPEC-009** (Brick Architecture) — Testing IS the interface
> 2. **presentar-core** — Widget + Brick traits, Canvas abstraction
> 3. **trueno** — SIMD/GPU compute primitives
> 4. **Toyota Production System** — Jidoka, Poka-Yoke, Genchi Genbutsu

### 1.1 Alignment Requirements

| Requirement | Implementation | Citation |
|-------------|----------------|----------|
| `Brick` trait with `assertions()` | All panels/widgets/generators implement `Brick` | PROBAR-SPEC-009 §3 |
| `assertions().len() > 0` invariant | TuiApp rejects empty assertions | Popper (1959) |
| Three-Layer Architecture | Collector → Analyzer → Panel | Ohno (1988) |
| Zero-Artifact Generation | All rendering from Rust definitions | presentar-core |
| Jidoka Quality Gates | Stop-on-error at Brick boundaries | Shingo (1986) |
| Genchi Genbutsu | Real metrics from /proc, sysfs, NVML, cuMemGetInfo | Liker (2004) |

### 1.1.1 Scientific & Philosophical Foundations

This specification integrates rigorous software engineering with lean manufacturing principles, supported by peer-reviewed research:

1.  **Sovereign AI & Pure Rust ("Own the Stack")**
    *   *Citation*: **Jung, R., et al. (2017). "RustBelt: Securing the Foundations of the Rust Programming Language."** *POPL '17*.
    *   *Citation*: **Thompson, K. (1984). "Reflections on Trusting Trust."** *Communications of the ACM*.
    *   *Relevance*: To achieve Sovereign AI, we must eliminate reliance on opaque vendor binaries (black boxes). We use "Pure Rust" validated by the RustBelt formal model to guarantee memory safety without sacrificing performance. The "Ferrocene" project's ISO 26262 (ASIL D) qualification demonstrates Rust's viability for safety-critical systems.

2.  **Deterministic Benchmarking**
    *   *Citation*: **Curtsinger, C., & Berger, E. D. (2013). "Stabilizer: Statistically Sound Performance Evaluation."** *ASPLOS '13*.
    *   *Relevance*: Performance measurements (F081-F100) are inherently noisy. We adopt a statistical approach to determinism, requiring low Coefficient of Variation (CV < 5%) and randomized layout stability to reject "lucky" optimizations.

3.  **Visual Control (Mieruka)**
    *   *Citation*: **Liker, J. (2004). "The Toyota Way."** Principle 7.
    *   *Relevance*: `cbtop` is a "Mieruka" tool—it makes hidden internal states (GPU registers, warp stalls) visible, allowing problems to be discovered immediately.

### 1.4 Inference Metrics: Bricks/sec vs Tokens/sec

**Key Relationship**: One token passes through *multiple* ComputeBricks per layer.

```

**Formulas**:

| Metric | Formula | Example |
|--------|---------|---------|
| **tokens/sec** | `1,000,000 / Σ(µs per brick)` | 1M / 80µs = 12,500 tok/s |
| **bricks/sec** | `tokens/sec × bricks_per_token` | 12,500 × 3 = 37,500 brick/s |
| **bottleneck** | `min(brick throughputs)` | Attention @ 28.5k tok/s |

**Pipeline with N layers**:

```rust
// 32-layer transformer
let layers = 32;
let bricks_per_layer = 3;  // QKV, Attention, FFN
let us_per_token_per_layer = 80.0;

let tokens_per_sec = 1_000_000.0 / (us_per_token_per_layer * layers as f64);
// = 1M / 2560µs = 390 tok/s

let bricks_per_sec = tokens_per_sec * (bricks_per_layer * layers) as f64;
// = 390 × 96 = 37,440 brick/s
```

**Insight**: `bricks/sec` is internal machinery; `tokens/sec` is user-facing throughput.

```

│  bricks/sec = tokens/sec × bricks_per_token            │

**Role of each tool**:

| Tool | Provides | Layer |
|------|----------|-------|
| **probar** | `Brick` trait, assertions, budgets, verification | Quality infrastructure |
| **renacer** | Syscall tracing, flamegraphs, function timing | CPU/OS-level profiling |
| **cupti** | CUDA kernel profiling, warp traces | GPU-level profiling |
| **cbtop** | Real-time TUI, combines all above | Visualization |

**How they connect**:

```rust
// probar: Brick trait (quality infrastructure)
use probar::{Brick, BrickAssertion, BrickBudget};

impl Brick for MatmulBrick {
    fn assertions(&self) -> Vec<BrickAssertion> { ... }
    fn budget(&self) -> BrickBudget { ... }
}

// renacer: Syscall profiling (CPU path)
// $ renacer --otlp -- cbtop --backend simd
// → traces mmap, futex, I/O syscalls during SIMD execution

// cupti: CUDA profiling (GPU path)
// cbtop internally uses cupti for warp/SM metrics
```

**Combined profiling workflow**:

```bash
# 1. Run cbtop with renacer tracing (CPU/syscall level)
renacer --otlp -- cbtop --backend cuda --workload gemm

# 2. View syscall traces in Jaeger
open http://localhost:16686

# 3. Drill into CUDA kernels (cupti level)
# Press [Enter] on brick → [w] for warp view

# 4. Check probar assertions
# Press [a] to toggle assertion panel

# 5. Generate flamegraph
# Press [f] → opens flamegraph in browser
```

**Keyboard shortcuts for profiling**:

| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `r` | Toggle renacer syscall view |
| `a` | Toggle probar assertions panel |
| `f` | Generate flamegraph (opens browser) |
| `o` | Export traces to OTLP (Jaeger/Tempo) |
| `g` | Golden trace comparison |

### 1.12 Popperian 200-Point Falsification Protocol

> **"A theory that explains everything, explains nothing."** — Karl Popper, *Conjectures and Refutations* (1963)

**Philosophical Foundation**:

Per Popper's critical rationalism, every ComputeBrick claim must be:
1. **Falsifiable** — Can be proven wrong by observation
2. **Bold** — Makes specific, risky predictions
3. **Testable** — Can be empirically verified
4. **Refutable** — Failure mode is well-defined

A brick with no falsifiable assertions is **pseudo-science** and MUST be rejected.

**Popper's guidance for adding new assertions**:

> "Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a
> sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it
> was intended to solve." — *Objective Knowledge* (1972)

When adding a new ComputeBrick:
1. Ask: "What would **falsify** this brick?"
2. Write the falsification test FIRST (TDD)
3. Make the assertion SPECIFIC (not "works correctly")
4. Include MEASURABLE thresholds (not "fast enough")
5. Define the FAILURE MODE (what error is raised?)

### 1.3 Zero-External-TUI Policy (MANDATORY)

> **"If it's not a Brick, it's not in the interface."**

`cbtop` is a reference implementation for **Brick-Native TUI Development**. Consequently:

1.  **NO External TUI Frameworks**: The use of `ratatui`, `tui-rs`, or similar is strictly prohibited.
2.  **NO External Frameworks**: No `cursive`, `tuirealm`, or similar libraries.
3.  **Pure `presentar-terminal`**: All widgets and canvas MUST come from `presentar-terminal`. **DO NOT reimplement widgets in cbtop.**
4.  **Upstream First**: If a widget is missing from `presentar-terminal`, implement it THERE first, then use it in cbtop.
5.  **Canvas-Level Control**: Rendering uses `DirectTerminalCanvas` from `presentar-terminal`.
6.  **Quality Enforcement**: Every widget MUST have falsifiable assertions. External TUI framework widgets (e.g., from `ratatui`) are passive and cannot be easily falsified at the structural level without external wrappers, violating PROBAR-SPEC-009.

**Widget Source Policy (MANDATORY)**:
- `BrailleGraph` → from `presentar-terminal`
- `Meter` → from `presentar-terminal`
- `Table` → from `presentar-terminal`
- `DirectTerminalCanvas` → from `presentar-terminal`
- `CellBuffer`, `DiffRenderer` → from `presentar-terminal`
- `ColorMode` → from `presentar-terminal`
- `TuiApp`, `TuiConfig` → from `presentar-terminal`

**Scientific Justification**: By using `presentar-terminal` widgets, we unify the runtime TUI with the automated QA suite. An external TUI framework widget is a black box; a `presentar` Brick is a self-verifying unit of value. Duplicating widget code violates DRY and introduces maintenance burden.

## 4. Core Brick Abstractions

### 4.1 Brick Trait (from presentar-core)

```rust
/// Core trait from presentar-core - all components implement this.
/// Source: ~/src/presentar/crates/presentar-core/src/widget.rs
pub trait Brick: Send + Sync {
    /// Unique brick name for identification
    fn brick_name(&self) -> &'static str;

    /// Falsifiable assertions (MUST be non-empty per Popper)
    fn assertions(&self) -> &[BrickAssertion];

    /// Performance budget (Muda elimination)
    fn budget(&self) -> BrickBudget;

    /// Verification (Jidoka gate)
    fn verify(&self) -> BrickVerification;

    /// HTML generation (for web export, optional)
    fn to_html(&self) -> String { String::new() }

    /// CSS generation (for web export, optional)
    fn to_css(&self) -> String { String::new() }

    /// Test identifier for automation
    fn test_id(&self) -> Option<&str> { None }

    /// Can this brick render? (Jidoka gate)
    fn can_render(&self) -> bool {
        self.verify().is_valid()
    }
}

/// Widget trait - measure/layout/paint cycle
pub trait Widget {
    fn measure(&self, constraints: &Constraints) -> Size;
    fn layout(&mut self, size: Size);
    fn paint(&self, canvas: &mut dyn Canvas);
}
```

### 4.2 Brick Invariants (PROBAR-SPEC-009 §3)

```rust
/// PROBAR Brick Invariants - MANDATORY for all cbtop components
///
/// 1. assertions().len() > 0     (at least one falsifiable claim)
/// 2. verify() checks ALL        (no skipping assertions)
/// 3. can_render() == verify()   (Jidoka gate prevents broken renders)
/// 4. budget().total_ms() > 0    (performance accountability)
///
/// Scientific Basis: Per Popper (1959), a theory that makes no
/// falsifiable predictions is not scientific. A Brick with no
/// assertions makes no testable claims and is therefore invalid.
///
/// Enforcement: TuiApp rejects Bricks with empty assertions at runtime.
```

### 4.3 ComputeBrick: Token-Centric Compute Unit

> **Core Insight**: A **token** is the unit of data; a **ComputeBrick** is the unit of compute.

```
Token ──▶ [ComputeBrick] ──▶ Token
           (matmul, softmax, attention)
```

**In LLM inference**, each token flows through a pipeline of ComputeBricks:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  "hello" → [512 floats]                         │  ← 1 token (embedded)
│      │                                          │
│      ▼                                          │
│  ┌─────────────┐                                │
│  │ QKV Matmul  │ ← ComputeBrick                 │
│  │ Attention   │ ← ComputeBrick                 │
│  │ FFN Matmul  │ ← ComputeBrick                 │
│  │ Softmax     │ ← ComputeBrick                 │
│  └─────────────┘                                │
│      │                                          │
│      ▼                                          │
│  [512 floats] → "world"                         │  ← 1 token (decoded)
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Key metric**: `Bricks/token × tokens/sec = throughput`

#### 4.3.1 ComputeBrick Struct

```rust
/// Self-verifying, token-centric compute unit.
/// Bundles: operation + assertions + budget + verification
pub struct ComputeBrick<Op: ComputeOp> {
    /// The compute operation (matmul, dot, softmax, etc.)
    op: Op,

    /// Falsifiable assertions (equivalence, bounds, etc.)
    assertions: Vec<ComputeAssertion>,

    /// Token-centric performance budget
    budget: TokenBudget,

    /// Execution backend
    backend: Backend,
}

impl<Op: ComputeOp> ComputeBrick<Op> {
    /// Create a new compute brick
    pub fn new(op: Op) -> Self;

    // ─── Builder Pattern ───

    /// Assert output matches baseline backend (e.g., scalar)
    pub fn assert_equiv(self, baseline: Backend) -> Self;

    /// Assert output values within bounds
    pub fn assert_bounds(self, min: f64, max: f64) -> Self;

    /// Set token throughput budget (tokens/second)
    pub fn budget_tok_per_sec(self, tps: f64) -> Self;

    /// Set token latency budget (microseconds/token)
    pub fn budget_us_per_tok(self, us: f64) -> Self;

    /// Set execution backend
    pub fn backend(self, b: Backend) -> Self;

    // ─── Execution ───

    /// Run with full verification (Jidoka gate)
    pub fn run(&self, input: Op::Input) -> Result<TokenResult<Op::Output>, BrickError>;

    /// Verify assertions without running
    pub fn verify(&self) -> BrickVerification;

    /// Brick name for identification
    pub fn name(&self) -> &'static str;
}
```

#### 4.3.2 TokenBudget

```rust
/// Performance budget expressed in token terms.
/// Aligns compute costs with LLM inference metrics.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
pub struct TokenBudget {
    /// Latency budget per token (microseconds)
    pub us_per_token: f64,

    /// Throughput target (tokens/second)
    pub tokens_per_sec: f64,

    /// Batch size for amortization
    pub batch_size: usize,
}

impl TokenBudget {
    /// 50µs/token = 20,000 tokens/sec
    pub fn from_latency(us_per_token: f64) -> Self {
        Self {
            us_per_token,
            tokens_per_sec: 1_000_000.0 / us_per_token,
            batch_size: 1,
        }
    }

    /// 20,000 tokens/sec = 50µs/token
    pub fn from_throughput(tokens_per_sec: f64) -> Self {
        Self {
            us_per_token: 1_000_000.0 / tokens_per_sec,
            tokens_per_sec,
            batch_size: 1,
        }
    }

    /// Check if actual performance meets budget
    pub fn is_met(&self, actual_us_per_token: f64) -> bool {
        actual_us_per_token <= self.us_per_token
    }
}
```

#### 4.3.3 TokenResult

```rust
/// Result of ComputeBrick execution with token metrics.
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct TokenResult<T> {
    /// Computed output
    pub output: T,

    /// Number of tokens processed
    pub tokens_processed: usize,

    /// Actual latency (microseconds/token)
    pub us_per_token: f64,

    /// Actual throughput (tokens/second)
    pub tokens_per_sec: f64,

    /// Did we meet the budget?
    pub budget_met: bool,
}
```

#### 4.3.4 ComputeOp Trait

```rust
/// Trait for compute operations that can be wrapped in a ComputeBrick.
pub trait ComputeOp: Send + Sync {
    type Input;
    type Output;

    /// Operation name
    fn name(&self) -> &'static str;

    /// Execute the operation
    fn execute(&self, input: Self::Input, backend: Backend) -> Result<Self::Output, TruenoError>;

    /// Tokens consumed by this operation (for budget calculation)
    fn tokens(&self, input: &Self::Input) -> usize;
}
```

#### 4.3.5 BrickError

```rust
/// Errors from ComputeBrick execution.
/// Tells you exactly what failed (Jidoka: stop and signal).
#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
pub enum BrickError {
    #[error("Assertion failed: {name} - expected {expected}, got {actual}")]
    AssertionFailed {
        name: String,
        expected: String,
        actual: String,
    },

    #[error("Budget exceeded: {limit_us:.1}µs/tok limit, {actual_us:.1}µs/tok actual")]
    BudgetExceeded {
        limit_us: f64,
        actual_us: f64,
    },

    #[error("Compute error: {0}")]
    ComputeError(#[from] TruenoError),
}
```

#### 4.3.6 Usage Example

```rust
use trueno::brick::{ComputeBrick, Backend};

// Define a matmul brick with budget
let matmul = ComputeBrick::matmul(1024, 1024, 1024)
    .assert_equiv(Backend::Scalar)      // Must match scalar baseline
    .budget_tok_per_sec(50_000)         // 50k tokens/sec target
    .backend(Backend::Avx2);            // Use AVX2

// Run with verification
let result = matmul.run((a, b))?;

println!("Throughput: {:.0} tok/s", result.tokens_per_sec);
println!("Budget met: {}", result.budget_met);

// Compose into layers
let layer = BrickLayer::new()
    .add(ComputeBrick::qkv_proj().budget_tok_per_sec(50_000))
    .add(ComputeBrick::attention().budget_tok_per_sec(30_000))  // Bottleneck
    .add(ComputeBrick::ffn().budget_tok_per_sec(40_000));

// Layer throughput = min(component throughputs)
assert_eq!(layer.throughput_ceiling(), 30_000);
```

### 5.4 Deterministic Mode Implementation

> **Goal**: Achieve coefficient of variation (CV) < 5% for performance measurements.
> **Philosophy**: "Scientific reproducibility requires controlling all variables."
> **Citation**: Hoefler, T., & Belli, R. (2015). "Scientific Benchmarking of Parallel Computing Systems."

When `cbtop --deterministic` is enabled:

1.  **RNG Seeding**: All load generators use a fixed seed (`0xDEADBEEF`).
    ```rust
    let mut rng = StdRng::seed_from_u64(0xDEADBEEF);
    ```
2.  **GPU Serialization**: `wgpu` and `CUDA` submissions are serialized (one-at-a-time) to prevent scheduler noise.
    ```rust
    // In Deterministic Mode, force queue wait
    queue.submit([encoder.finish()]);
    device.poll(wgpu::Maintain::Wait);
    ```
3.  **Atomic Determinism**: Reduce non-associative float operations.
    *   Use `f64` accumulation where possible.
    *   Avoid `atomicAdd` on floats if order is not guaranteed.
4.  **Warmup**: Enforce minimum 10 warmup iterations before measurement.
5.  **Pinning**: Thread affinity pinned to specific cores (isolating from OS noise).
6.  **Frequency**: (Optional) Warn if CPU/GPU frequency governors are not set to `performance`.
7.  **Confidence Intervals**: Report 95% nonparametric confidence intervals for all metrics.

## 9. Visual Design Patterns (from presentar)

> **Source**: These patterns are adapted from `presentar` examples and grounded in
> the visualization research of **Edward Tufte** (Data-Ink Ratio), **Colin Ware**
> (Preattentive Processing), and **Ben Shneiderman** (Visual Information Seeking Mantra).

### 9.1 CIELAB Perceptual Color System

cbtop uses **CIELAB color interpolation** for perceptually smooth gradients instead of linear RGB. This is critical for heatmaps and utilization meters where humans must perceive proportional differences.

**Academic Basis**: Fairchild, M.D. (2013). *Color Appearance Models*. Wiley.

```rust
/// CIELAB interpolation for perceptually uniform gradients
/// Available in presentar-terminal as ColorMode::cielab_interpolate()
pub fn cielab_gradient(low_color: Color, high_color: Color, t: f64) -> Color {
    // Convert RGB to LAB
    let lab_low = rgb_to_lab(low_color);
    let lab_high = rgb_to_lab(high_color);

    // Interpolate in LAB space (perceptually uniform)
    let lab_result = Lab {
        l: lab_low.l + t * (lab_high.l - lab_low.l),
        a: lab_low.a + t * (lab_high.a - lab_low.a),
        b: lab_low.b + t * (lab_high.b - lab_low.b),
    };

    // Convert back to RGB
    lab_to_rgb(lab_result)
}

/// 101-step gradient with CIELAB precision (0%, 1%, 2%, ..., 100%)
pub fn utilization_gradient(usage: f64) -> Color {
    let t = usage.clamp(0.0, 100.0) / 100.0;

    if t < 0.5 {
        // Green → Yellow (healthy → warning)
        cielab_gradient(Color::GREEN, Color::YELLOW, t * 2.0)
    } else {
        // Yellow → Red (warning → critical)
        cielab_gradient(Color::YELLOW, Color::RED, (t - 0.5) * 2.0)
    }
}
```

**Delta-E Threshold**: Color differences must satisfy ΔE < 2 (just-noticeable difference) for adjacent steps in the gradient.

### 9.2 True-Color ANSI Escape Codes

cbtop uses 24-bit true color for maximum fidelity. All color constants from `presentar/examples/brick_computer.rs`:

```rust
// ANSI escape codes for 24-bit true color
pub const RESET: &str = "\x1b[0m";
pub const BOLD: &str = "\x1b[1m";
pub const DIM: &str = "\x1b[2m";
pub const BLINK: &str = "\x1b[5m";

// Status colors (24-bit true color) - from brick_computer.rs
pub const GREEN: &str = "\x1b[38;2;74;222;128m";   // Pass/healthy
pub const YELLOW: &str = "\x1b[38;2;250;204;21m";  // Warning/queued
pub const RED: &str = "\x1b[38;2;248;113;113m";    // Fail/critical
pub const CYAN: &str = "\x1b[38;2;34;211;238m";    // Running/active
pub const MAGENTA: &str = "\x1b[38;2;232;121;249m"; // Header accent
pub const BLUE: &str = "\x1b[38;2;96;165;250m";    // Info/neutral
pub const GRAY: &str = "\x1b[38;2;107;114;128m";   // Idle/disabled
pub const WHITE: &str = "\x1b[38;2;248;250;252m";  // Primary text
pub const ORANGE: &str = "\x1b[38;2;251;146;60m";  // Highlight

// Background colors
pub const BG_GREEN: &str = "\x1b[48;2;22;163;74m";
pub const BG_YELLOW: &str = "\x1b[48;2;202;138;4m";
pub const BG_RED: &str = "\x1b[48;2;220;38;38m";
pub const BG_BLUE: &str = "\x1b[48;2;59;130;246m";
pub const BG_DARK: &str = "\x1b[48;2;30;41;59m";
pub const BG_DARKER: &str = "\x1b[48;2;15;23;42m";
```

### 9.3 Unicode Symbol Constants

Standard symbol arrays for consistent rendering across all TUI components:

```rust
// Box drawing (professional borders)
pub const BOX_TL: &str = "╭";
pub const BOX_TR: &str = "╮";
pub const BOX_BL: &str = "╰";
pub const BOX_BR: &str = "╯";
pub const BOX_H: &str = "─";
pub const BOX_V: &str = "│";

// Block characters (meters and bars)
pub const BLOCK_FULL: &str = "█";
pub const BLOCK_LIGHT: &str = "░";
pub const PROGRESS: [&str; 8] = ["▁", "▂", "▃", "▄", "▅", "▆", "▇", "█"];

// Spinner animation (running state)
pub const SPINNER: [&str; 8] = ["⠋", "⠙", "⠹", "⠸", "⠼", "⠴", "⠦", "⠧"];

// Braille characters for sparklines (8-level, from presentar-terminal)
pub const BRAILLE: [char; 8] = ['⣀', '⣄', '⣤', '⣦', '⣶', '⣷', '⣿', '⡿'];

// Superscript digits for core labels
pub const SUPERSCRIPT: [char; 10] = ['⁰', '¹', '²', '³', '⁴', '⁵', '⁶', '⁷', '⁸', '⁹'];
```

### 9.4 Brick Computer Visualization Pattern

The **Brick Computer** pattern from `presentar/examples/brick_computer.rs` demonstrates dynamic test visualization where each brick represents a running computation:

```
╭─ SIMD TEST BRICKS ────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│  ▒▒▒▒   ⠋⠙⠹   ✓✓✓✓   ✗✗✗✗   ⚡⚡⚡   ▒▒▒▒   ⠋⠙⠹   ✓✓✓✓  │
│  dot    mvec   red    soft   attn   norm   gelu    T    │
│  ░░░░    87%   PASS   FAIL   FLAKY  ░░░░    45%   PASS  │
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ PERFORMANCE ──────────────────╮
│ Tests/sec:        80.0         │
│ Total:           1,247         │
│ Running: ⠋ 3                   │
│ Pass: 42  Fail: 5              │
│ Pass Rate: 89.4%               │
╰────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ PASS RATE HISTORY ───────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ Rate: ⣀⣄⣤⣦⣶⣷⣿⡿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⣄⣤⣦⣶⣷⣿⡿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⣄⣤⣦⣶⣷⣿⡿ │
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```

**Test State Machine**:

```rust
#[derive(Clone, Copy, PartialEq)]
pub enum TestState {
    Idle,      // Gray block, waiting
    Queued,    // Yellow, about to run
    Running,   // Blue with spinner, executing SIMD
    Pass,      // Green checkmark
    Fail,      // Red X
    Flaky,     // Yellow lightning bolt
}
```

**Brick Rendering**:

```rust
fn draw_brick(brick: &TestBrick, x: usize, y: usize, frame: u64) {
    let spinner_idx = ((frame / 2) % 8) as usize;
    let progress_idx = (brick.progress as usize * 7 / 100).min(7);

    let (bg, fg, icon) = match brick.state {
        TestState::Idle    => (BG_DARKER, GRAY,   BLOCK_LIGHT),
        TestState::Queued  => (BG_DARK,   YELLOW, "◌"),
        TestState::Running => (BG_BLUE,   WHITE,  SPINNER[spinner_idx]),
        TestState::Pass    => (BG_GREEN,  WHITE,  "✓"),
        TestState::Fail    => (BG_RED,    WHITE,  "✗"),
        TestState::Flaky   => (BG_YELLOW, WHITE,  "⚡"),
    };

    // Render 3-line brick with pulsing effect when running
    let pulse = if brick.state == TestState::Running && (frame / 4) % 2 == 0 { BOLD } else { "" };

    // Line 1: Icon
    print!("{}{}{}{}{}", bg, fg, pulse, icon, RESET);
    // Line 2: Test name
    print!("{}{}{}{}{}", bg, fg, pulse, brick.kind.name(), RESET);
    // Line 3: Progress or status
    print!("{}{}{}{}{}", bg, fg, pulse, status_line, RESET);
}
```

### 9.5 JIDOKA Visual Feedback (ALL BRICKS LIT)

The **JIDOKA gate** provides real-time visual feedback on brick verification status:

```rust
fn draw_jidoka_status(computer: &BrickComputer, x: usize, y: usize, frame: u64) {
    let any_fail = computer.fail_count() > 0;
    let any_running = computer.running_count() > 0;

    if any_fail {
        // HALT: Blink red when verification fails
        let blink = if (frame / 4) % 2 == 0 { BLINK } else { "" };
        print!("{}{}● JIDOKA HALT{} - Verification failure detected", blink, RED, RESET);
    } else if any_running {
        // ACTIVE: Show running tests
        let spinner = SPINNER[((frame / 2) % 8) as usize];
        print!("{}{} JIDOKA{} - {} bricks computing...", CYAN, spinner, RESET, count);
    } else {
        // PASS: All bricks verified
        print!("{}{}● ALL BRICKS LIT{} - JIDOKA: Render allowed", BOLD, GREEN, RESET);
    }
}
```

**Visual States**:

| State | Display | Meaning |
|-------|---------|---------|
| `● ALL BRICKS LIT` | Green, solid | All bricks pass verification, rendering allowed |
| `⠋ JIDOKA` | Cyan, spinning | Bricks actively computing |
| `● JIDOKA HALT` | Red, blinking | Verification failure, investigate |

### 9.6 Zero-Allocation Steady-State Rendering

cbtop uses **zero-allocation steady-state rendering** from `presentar-terminal`:

```rust
use presentar_terminal::direct::{CellBuffer, DiffRenderer};

/// Zero-allocation render loop (after initial startup)
pub struct RenderState {
    buffer: CellBuffer,           // Pre-allocated cell grid
    renderer: DiffRenderer,       // Diff-based output
    output_buffer: Vec<u8>,       // Pre-allocated ANSI output
}

impl RenderState {
    pub fn new(width: u16, height: u16) -> Self {
        Self {
            buffer: CellBuffer::new(width, height),
            renderer: DiffRenderer::with_color_mode(ColorMode::TrueColor),
            output_buffer: Vec::with_capacity(8192), // Pre-allocate
        }
    }

    /// Render frame with ZERO allocations
    pub fn render(&mut self, app: &App) -> io::Result<()> {
        // Clear output buffer (no allocation - just reset length)
        self.output_buffer.clear();

        // Draw to cell buffer (overwrites existing cells)
        {
            let mut canvas = DirectTerminalCanvas::new(&mut self.buffer);
            app.paint(&mut canvas);
        }

        // Diff-render: only changed cells written
        self.renderer.flush(&mut self.buffer, &mut self.output_buffer)?;

        // Write to stdout
        std::io::stdout().write_all(&self.output_buffer)?;
        std::io::stdout().flush()
    }
}
```

**Key Properties**:
- Initial allocation: `CellBuffer` (width × height cells), `output_buffer` (8KB)
- Steady-state allocations: **Zero** (no `Vec::push`, no `String::format`)
- Diff rendering: Only changed cells emit ANSI sequences
- Critical for real-time monitoring at 60fps

## 10. Canvas and Widget Usage (presentar-terminal)

> **CRITICAL: No Custom Implementations**
>
> cbtop does NOT implement its own canvas or widgets. All rendering components
> come from `presentar-terminal`. This section documents how to USE these
> components, not how to implement them.
>
> If a widget is missing, implement it in presentar-terminal FIRST, then use it here.

### 10.1 Available Widgets (presentar-terminal v0.2+)

The following widgets are available from `presentar-terminal`:

| Widget | Purpose | cbtop Usage |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `BrailleGraph` | Time-series with 2×4 braille dots per cell | CPU/GPU utilization history |

- `BLOCK_UP`, `BLOCK_DOWN` - Block character patterns
- `SPARKLINE` - 8-level sparkline characters
- `SUPERSCRIPT`, `SUBSCRIPT` - Numeric superscripts/subscripts
- `TTY_UP`, `TTY_DOWN` - ASCII-safe fallbacks

### 10.2 Using DirectTerminalCanvas

```rust
use presentar_terminal::direct::{CellBuffer, DiffRenderer, DirectTerminalCanvas};
use presentar_terminal::ColorMode;

// Create buffer for terminal size (e.g., 80x24)
let mut buffer = CellBuffer::new(80, 24);
let mut renderer = DiffRenderer::with_color_mode(ColorMode::TrueColor);

// Draw using the canvas
{
    let mut canvas = DirectTerminalCanvas::new(&mut buffer);

    // Use presentar-core Canvas trait methods
    canvas.fill_rect(Rect::new(0.0, 0.0, 80.0, 24.0), Color::new(0.05, 0.05, 0.1, 1.0));
    canvas.draw_text("Hello", Point::new(2.0, 1.0), &TextStyle::default());
}

// Render to terminal
let mut output = Vec::with_capacity(8192);
renderer.flush(&mut buffer, &mut output).unwrap();
std::io::Write::write_all(&mut std::io::stdout(), &output).unwrap();
```

### 10.3 Using BrailleGraph from presentar-terminal

```rust
use presentar_terminal::{BrailleGraph, GraphMode};
use presentar_core::{Rect, Color};

// Create graph with data
let mut graph = BrailleGraph::new(cpu_history.to_vec())
    .with_color(Color::new(0.3, 1.0, 0.5, 1.0))
    .with_range(0.0, 100.0)
    .with_mode(GraphMode::Braille);

// Layout and paint
graph.layout(Rect::new(2.0, 3.0, 50.0, 8.0));
graph.paint(&mut canvas);
```

### 10.4 Using Meter from presentar-terminal

```rust
use presentar_terminal::Meter;
use presentar_core::Color;

// Create meter
let meter = Meter::new(cpu_usage, 0.0, 100.0)
    .with_color(cpu_color(cpu_usage));

// Paint at position
meter.paint_at(&mut canvas, Point::new(x, y), width);
```

### 10.5 Example: CPU Panel Using presentar-terminal Widgets

```rust
use presentar_terminal::{BrailleGraph, GraphMode, Meter};
use presentar_terminal::direct::{CellBuffer, DiffRenderer, DirectTerminalCanvas};
use presentar_core::{Canvas, Color, Point, Rect, TextStyle};

fn draw_cpu_panel(
    buffer: &mut CellBuffer,
    cpu_metrics: &CpuMetrics,
    history: &RingBuffer<f64>,
) {
    let mut canvas = DirectTerminalCanvas::new(buffer);

    // Background
    canvas.fill_rect(Rect::new(0.0, 0.0, 80.0, 24.0), Color::new(0.05, 0.05, 0.1, 1.0));

    // Title
    let title_style = TextStyle {
        color: Color::new(0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 1.0),
        ..Default::default()
    };
    canvas.draw_text("CPU Monitor", Point::new(2.0, 1.0), &title_style);

    // CPU graph using BrailleGraph from presentar-terminal
    let mut graph = BrailleGraph::new(history.to_vec())
        .with_color(cpu_color(cpu_metrics.total_usage))
        .with_range(0.0, 100.0)
        .with_mode(GraphMode::Braille);

    graph.layout(Rect::new(2.0, 3.0, 50.0, 8.0));
    graph.paint(&mut canvas);

    // Per-core meters using Meter from presentar-terminal
    for (i, &usage) in cpu_metrics.per_core_usage.iter().enumerate() {
        let y = 3.0 + i as f32;
        canvas.draw_text(&format!("Core {}: ", i), Point::new(55.0, y), &TextStyle::default());

        let meter = Meter::new(usage, 0.0, 100.0)
            .with_color(cpu_color(usage));
        meter.paint_at(&mut canvas, Point::new(63.0, y), 12);

        canvas.draw_text(&format!("{:5.1}%", usage), Point::new(76.0, y), &TextStyle::default());
    }
}
```

### 10.6 Upstream First Policy

If cbtop requires a widget not available in presentar-terminal:

1. **DO NOT** implement it in cbtop
2. **DO** implement it in `presentar-terminal` first
3. **THEN** use it from presentar-terminal in cbtop

See `presentar-terminal/examples/cpu_monitor.rs` for reference implementation.

## 14. The Falsification Ritual (Strong Protocol)

> "We do not prove our software works; we fail to prove it breaks."

This ritual MUST be performed before any v0.x.0 release.

### 13.1 The "Red Team" Session
**Role**: 2 Engineers not involved in recent development.
**Goal**: Break the application within 30 minutes.

**Tactics**:
1.  **Input Fuzzing**: Hold down keys, mash random combinations.
2.  **Resource Starvation**: Run `stress-ng` in background during load generation.
3.  **Resize Chaos**: Rapidly resize terminal window (10x/sec).
4.  **Backend Kill**: `rmmod nvidia` (if safe) or kill helper processes while running.
5.  **Config Corruption**: Corrupt `config.yaml` with invalid types/values.

**Success Condition**: The application must NOT panic. It may exit with a clean error message or gracefully handle the state.
**Failure**: Any panic or freeze > 2 seconds is a blocking failure.

### 13.2 The "Automated Falsifier"
Run the automated test suite with the following chaos parameters:
```bash
# Run property-based tests with increased cases
cargo test --release -- --ignored --test-threads=1

# Run mutation testing to verify test quality
cargo mutants --timeout 30

# Run with address sanitizer
RUSTFLAGS="-Z sanitizer=address" cargo run --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
```

### 13.3 The "Blind Spot" Review
Review the code for:
- `unwrap()` or `expect()` calls (Allowed only in tests or initialization).
- `_ => {}` match arms (Strictly forbidden by Yuan Gate).
- Unbounded vectors or channels.

## 15. Release Criteria

| Gate | Description | Threshold | Checked By |
|------|-------------|-----------|------------|
| **Falsification Score** | Section 10 Checklist | ≥ 90/100 | QA Lead |
| **Red Team Status** | Section 13.1 Ritual | No Panics | Red Team |
| **Coverage** | Code Coverage | > 85% | CI/CD |
| **Performance** | Frame time @ 4K | < 16ms | Benchmark |
| **Memory** | Leak Check | 0 Leaks | Valgrind/Heaptrack |
| **Docs** | `cargo doc` | No Warnings | CI/CD |

### 21.2 Batuta Orchestration

```yaml
# batuta manifest entry for cbtop
- name: cbtop
  type: binary
  repo: trueno
  path: tools/cbtop
  depends_on:
    - trueno
    - trueno-gpu
    - trueno-cupti
    - presentar-terminal
  monitors:
    - simular
    - whisper.apr
    - realizar
  notify_on_release: true
```

**Batuta responsibilities**:

- Orchestrate trueno → trueno-gpu → trueno-cupti build order
- Notify downstream projects (simular, realizar) of API changes
- Coordinate releases across the ecosystem

### 21.3 WOS Integration

```rust
/// Integration with wos kernel metrics.
/// Source: ../wos/kernel/src/metrics.rs
pub struct WosKernelMetrics {
    /// Scheduler metrics (CFS, deadline)
    pub sched: SchedMetrics,

    /// Memory subsystem (page faults, reclaim)
    pub mm: MemoryMetrics,

    /// Block I/O (blk-mq, io_uring)
    pub blk: BlockMetrics,

    /// Network (socket buffers, TCP stats)
    pub net: NetMetrics,
}

impl WosKernelMetrics {
    /// Collect from /proc, /sys, or eBPF.
    pub fn collect() -> Result<Self>;
}
```

**WOS panels in cbtop**:
- Kernel scheduler latency histogram
- Page fault rates (major/minor)
- io_uring submission/completion queue depths
- blk-mq hardware queue utilization

### 21.4 Pepita Integration

```rust
/// Integration with pepita sovereign kernel.
/// Source: ../pepita/src/io.rs
pub struct PepitaMetrics {
    /// io_uring ring buffer stats
    pub uring: UringMetrics,

    /// ublk (userspace block) throughput
    pub ublk: UblkMetrics,

    /// blk-mq multiqueue stats
    pub blkmq: BlkMqMetrics,
}

/// io_uring metrics for sovereign AI workloads.
pub struct UringMetrics {
    /// Submission queue entries pending
    pub sq_pending: u32,

    /// Completion queue entries ready
    pub cq_ready: u32,

    /// Operations per second
    pub iops: f64,

    /// Bandwidth (bytes/sec)
    pub bandwidth: f64,
}
```

**Pepita panels in cbtop**:
- io_uring IOPS and bandwidth gauges
- ublk device throughput (GPU-accelerated compression)
- blk-mq queue depth per hardware context
- Latency percentiles (P50/P99/P999)

**Notification triggers**:
- ComputeBrick API change → notify batuta → rebuild all
- New panel type → notify presentar → upstream widget
- Kernel metric change → notify wos/pepita → update collectors

### 21.6 trueno-zram Integration

trueno-zram provides SIMD-accelerated compression (19x faster than kernel zram). Integration with ComputeBrick enables unified monitoring of compression workloads.

#### 21.6.1 Compression as ComputeBricks

```rust
/// Compression operation wrapped as ComputeBrick.
/// Budget expressed in GB/s (bytes-centric, not token-centric).
pub struct CompressBrick {
    algorithm: CompressionAlgorithm,
    level: u8,
    backend: ComputeBackend,  // Scalar, AVX2, AVX512
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
pub enum CompressionAlgorithm {
    Lz4,
    Zstd { level: i32 },
}

impl ComputeOp for CompressBrick {
    type Input = &[u8];      // Uncompressed page(s)
    type Output = Vec<u8>;   // Compressed output

    fn name(&self) -> &'static str { "compress" }

    fn tokens(&self, input: &Self::Input) -> usize {
        // For compression, "tokens" = pages (4KB each)
        input.len() / 4096
    }
}

/// Usage: Monitor compression performance
let compress = ComputeBrick::new(CompressBrick::zstd(1))
    .budget_tok_per_sec(100_000.0)  // 100K pages/sec = 400 GB/s target
    .backend(ComputeBackend::Avx512)
    .assert_finite();

let result = compress.run(page_data)?;
println!("Throughput: {:.1} GB/s", result.tokens_per_sec * 4096.0 / 1e9);
```

#### 21.6.2 ByteBudget (GB/s Alternative to TokenBudget)

```rust
/// Performance budget for byte-oriented operations (compression, I/O).
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
pub struct ByteBudget {
    /// Latency budget per page (microseconds)
    pub us_per_page: f64,

    /// Throughput target (GB/s)
    pub gb_per_sec: f64,

    /// Page size (default 4096)
    pub page_size: usize,
}

impl ByteBudget {
    /// 25 GB/s = 0.16µs per 4KB page
    pub fn from_throughput(gb_per_sec: f64) -> Self {
        let pages_per_sec = gb_per_sec * 1e9 / 4096.0;
        Self {
            us_per_page: 1_000_000.0 / pages_per_sec,
            gb_per_sec,
            page_size: 4096,
        }
    }

    /// Convert to TokenBudget (1 token = 1 page)
    pub fn to_token_budget(&self) -> TokenBudget {
        TokenBudget::from_latency(self.us_per_page)
    }
}
```

trueno-zram's ublk device shares metrics infrastructure with pepita:

```rust
/// Shared ublk metrics between trueno-zram and pepita.
pub struct UblkCompressionMetrics {
    /// Base ublk metrics from pepita
    pub ublk: pepita::UblkMetrics,

    /// Compression-specific metrics
    pub compression: CompressionMetrics,
}

pub struct CompressionMetrics {
    /// Current compression ratio
    pub ratio: f64,

    /// Compress throughput (GB/s)
    pub compress_gb_s: f64,

    /// Decompress throughput (GB/s)
    pub decompress_gb_s: f64,

    /// Same-fill page percentage (skips compression)
    pub same_fill_pct: f64,

### 21.7 Industry Baseline Throughput (Citation [21])

> **Reference**: Satna, D. (2026). "LLM Inference Server Benchmarking Framework." GitHub.
> Production comparison of vLLM, Triton Inference Server, TGI on Kubernetes/GPU deployments.

#### 21.7.1 Production Server Baselines (A10 GPU, Mistral-7B, FP16)

| Server | Peak tok/s | P95 Latency | SM Util | Memory Overhead | Best For |
|--------|-----------|-------------|---------|-----------------|----------|
| **vLLM** | 412 | 1715ms | **99%** | **42%** | Max throughput, GPU efficiency |
| **TGI** | 408 | **1704ms** | 98% | 44% | Lowest latency, streaming |
| **Triton** | 385 | 2007ms | 97% | 45% | Enterprise, multi-model |

**Interpretation**: vLLM represents near-optimal GPU utilization (99% SM). Our Pure Rust implementation should target these baselines.

#### 21.7.2 Expected Throughput by GPU Class (7B Q4 Quantized)

| GPU | VRAM | Expected tok/s | Memory BW | cbtop Score Threshold |
|-----|------|----------------|-----------|----------------------|
| RTX 4090 | 24GB | 300-400 | 1.0 TB/s | ≥250 = A, ≥200 = B |
| A10 | 24GB | 400-450 | 600 GB/s | ≥350 = A, ≥280 = B |
| A100-40GB | 40GB | 800-1000 | 1.5 TB/s | ≥700 = A, ≥560 = B |
| A100-80GB | 80GB | 900-1200 | 2.0 TB/s | ≥800 = A, ≥640 = B |
| H100 | 80GB | 1500-2000 | 3.35 TB/s | ≥1300 = A, ≥1000 = B |
| H200 | 141GB | 2000-2500 | 4.8 TB/s | ≥1800 = A, ≥1400 = B |

**Usage**: cbtop should display "You: 350 tok/s | Baseline: 400-450" for contextual scoring.

#### 21.7.3 SM Utilization Health Indicators

| SM Util Range | Status | Interpretation | Action |
|---------------|--------|----------------|--------|
| < 50% | 🔴 Critical | Severe underutilization | Check kernel launch overhead |
| 50-80% | ⚠️ Warning | Suboptimal | Profile for serialization |
| 80-95% | ✅ Healthy | Good utilization | Normal operation |
| > 95% | 🔥 Saturated | Near-optimal (vLLM level) | Target achieved |

#### 21.7.4 Concurrency Scaling Metrics

| Scaling Efficiency | Interpretation | Root Cause |
|--------------------|----------------|------------|
| > 95% | Excellent | Properly parallelized |
| 90-95% | Good | Minor contention |
| 70-90% | Warning | Memory bandwidth bottleneck |
| < 70% | Critical | Kernel serialization or lock contention |

**Calculation**: `scaling_efficiency = (throughput_32_concurrent / throughput_1_request) / 32 * 100%`

#### 21.7.5 Memory Overhead Expectations

| Memory Overhead | Status | Notes |
|-----------------|--------|-------|
| < 40% | Excellent | Highly optimized |
| 40-50% | Normal | Production servers (vLLM: 42%) |
| 50-60% | Warning | Potential memory leak |
| > 60% | Critical | Investigate immediately |

### 21.8 Idiomatic Tooling Guidance

> **Principle**: Use production-proven tools (vLLM, llama.cpp, TGI) as **reference implementations**
> to guide our Pure Rust tooling—without polluting our codebase with foreign dependencies.

#### 21.8.2 Approved Reference Tools

| Tool | Language | Purpose | How We Use It |
|------|----------|---------|---------------|
| **vLLM** | Python/CUDA | Production LLM serving | Throughput/latency baseline |
| **llama.cpp** | C++/CUDA | Efficient inference | Kernel optimization reference |
| **TGI** | Rust/Python | HuggingFace serving | Rust patterns reference |
| **Triton** | Python/C++ | Enterprise inference | Multi-model benchmarks |
| **nvprof/nsys** | NVIDIA | GPU profiling | SM utilization truth |

#### 21.8.3 What We Do NOT Do

| Anti-Pattern | Why It's Wrong |
|--------------|----------------|
| ❌ Copy vLLM Python code into Rust | License issues, non-idiomatic |
| ❌ Link against llama.cpp C++ | Breaks Pure Rust principle |
| ❌ Depend on TGI crates | External dependency creep |
| ❌ Use nvprof output directly | Should use renacer for tracing |

#### 21.8.4 What We DO

| Pattern | Why It's Right |
|---------|----------------|
| ✅ Run vLLM to get baseline numbers | Numbers are facts, not code |
| ✅ Read llama.cpp kernel comments | Understanding is not copying |
| ✅ Compare our SM% to nvprof output | Validation of our measurements |
| ✅ Profile side-by-side on same GPU | Apples-to-apples comparison |

#### 21.8.5 Side-by-Side Benchmarking Protocol

```bash
# Step 1: Baseline with vLLM (reference)
python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B &
hey -n 1000 -c 32 http://localhost:8000/generate  # Load test
# Record: 412 tok/s, P95=1715ms

# Step 2: Our implementation
cbtop --headless --model qwen2.5-coder-1.5b --iterations 1000
# Record: 350 tok/s, P95=2100ms

# Step 3: Compare
# Throughput: 85% of vLLM (need 15% improvement)
# Latency: 122% of vLLM (need 18% reduction)

# Step 4: Trace the gap
renacer --function-time -- apr bench qkv
# Shows: futex overhead 22% (vLLM has <5%)

# Step 5: Fix (Pure Rust)
# Implement lock-free KV cache (no vLLM code)

# Step 6: Verify
cbtop --headless --model qwen2.5-coder-1.5b --iterations 1000
# Record: 405 tok/s (98% of vLLM) ✅

### 24.5 PMAT-005: LZ4 GPU Kernel Completion ✅

**Priority**: P0 | **Effort**: 5d | **Status**: COMPLETE (2026-01-10) | **FKR**: FKR-007

**Description**: Complete GPU LZ4 compression kernel. F082 computed-address bug resolved
by using `Lz4WarpShuffleKernel` which avoids the problematic shared memory pattern.

was isolated to `Lz4WarpCompressKernel`. Fix: Use `Lz4WarpShuffleKernel` which uses
registers + warp shuffle instead of shared memory state variables.

**Hypothesis**: All PTX builder methods generate correct instruction sequences.

| Test | Method | PTX Output | Result |
|------|--------|------------|--------|
| F001 | `dp4a_u32` | `dp4a.u32.u32` | PASS |
| F002 | `membar_cta` | `membar.cta` | PASS |

### 25.1.1 FKR-002: Q4K Direct Shared Memory ❌ FALSIFIED

**Hypothesis**: Q4K dequantization kernels can use direct shared memory addressing
without address computation side effects.

**Background**: Initial Q4K implementation used shared memory for block-level
data staging, computing global store addresses from loaded shared memory values.

**Citations**:
1. [NVIDIA PTX ISA 8.0] "Memory Consistency Model" - Shared memory semantics
2. [Lustig et al. 2019] "NVIDIA PTX Memory Consistency Model" ASPLOS'19. DOI:10.1145/3297858.3304043
3. [Alglave et al. 2015] "GPU Concurrency: Weak Behaviours" ASPLOS'15. DOI:10.1145/2694344.2694391

**Falsification Evidence**:

| Test | Method | Expected | Actual | Result |
|------|--------|----------|--------|--------|
| F081 | Loaded value bug detection | No crash | CUDA_ERROR_UNKNOWN (716) | **FALSIFIED** |
| F082 | Computed-addr-from-loaded | No crash | CUDA_ERROR_UNKNOWN (716) | **FALSIFIED** |

**Root Cause (F082 Confirmed)**:
```
Bug Pattern: ld.shared.u32 → cvt.u64.u32 → add.u64 → st.global.u32
- Loading from shared memory
- Converting to 64-bit for address computation
- Using computed address for global store
- SASS compiler clobbers address computation, causing crash
```

**Resolution**:
- Switched to `Lz4WarpShuffleKernel` which uses registers + warp shuffle
- Marked buggy kernel tests with `#[ignore = "F082 confirmed"]`
- Q4K kernels now use register-based data staging

**Result**: Hypothesis **FALSIFIED**. Direct shared memory addressing with
computed output addresses causes CUDA driver crashes. Use warp shuffle instead.

## 27. Real Load Generation Architecture

### 27.1 Design Principle: No Simulated Metrics

**CRITICAL REQUIREMENT**: cbtop MUST generate and measure REAL compute loads. Fake/simulated metrics are strictly prohibited.

**Violations of this principle**:
- Hardcoded CPU percentages (e.g., `cpu_usage = 45.2`)
- Random noise generation instead of actual compute
- Mock GPU utilization values
- Simulated throughput without actual operations

**Citations**:
- [Gregg, 2020] **Gregg, B. (2020). "Systems Performance: Enterprise and the Cloud"** 2nd ed., Addison-Wesley. ISBN: 978-0-13-682015-4. Chapter 2 "Observability" establishes that performance tools must measure actual system state, not synthetic approximations.
- [Hennessy & Patterson, 2017] **Hennessy, J.L. & Patterson, D.A. (2017). "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach"** 6th ed., Morgan Kaufmann. ISBN: 978-0-12-811905-1. Section 1.8 "Measuring Performance" mandates real workloads for valid benchmarks.
- [Jain, 1991] **Jain, R. (1991). "The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis"** Wiley. ISBN: 978-0-471-50336-1. Chapter 3 "Workload Characterization" requires representative, not synthetic, workloads.

### 27.2 Hardware Detection Requirements

Real hardware information MUST be detected and displayed at startup:

```rust
/// Hardware information detected at startup
/// Citations: [Gregg 2020] "Systems Performance" §6.3.1
pub struct HardwareInfo {
    /// CPU model string from /proc/cpuinfo
    pub cpu_model: String,
    /// Physical CPU cores from sysfs/libc
    pub cpu_cores: usize,
    /// Detected SIMD capability (AVX-512/AVX2/AVX/SSE4.2/NEON)
    pub simd_type: &'static str,
    /// GPU name from NVML/Metal/ROCm (if available)
    pub gpu_name: Option<String>,
    /// Total system RAM in GB
    pub memory_gb: f64,
}
```

**Detection Methods** (per [Gregg 2020] "Systems Performance" observability stack):

| Property | Linux Source | macOS Source | Citation |
|----------|--------------|--------------|----------|
| CPU Model | `/proc/cpuinfo` | `sysctl hw.model` | [Gregg 2020] §6.3.1 |
| CPU Cores | `std::thread::available_parallelism()` | Same | [Hennessy 2017] §1.7 |
| SIMD Type | `is_x86_feature_detected!()` | NEON always | [Intel 2023] SDM Vol.1 |
| GPU Name | NVML `nvmlDeviceGetName` | Metal `device.name` | [NVIDIA 2023] NVML API |
| Memory | `/proc/meminfo` | `sysctl hw.memsize` | [Gregg 2020] §7.3 |

### 27.3 Real CPU Utilization Measurement

CPU utilization MUST be measured from actual kernel counters, not estimated:

```rust
/// Read real CPU usage from /proc/stat
/// Citation: [Gregg 2020] "Systems Performance" §6.5.1 "CPU Utilization"
fn read_cpu_usage(&mut self) -> f64 {
    // Parse /proc/stat for user, nice, system, idle, iowait, irq, softirq, steal
    // Calculate delta between samples: (total_active_delta / total_delta) * 100
}
```

**Formula** (per [Gregg 2020] §6.5.1):
```
CPU% = 100 × (Δuser + Δnice + Δsystem + Δirq + Δsoftirq + Δsteal) / Δtotal
```

Where `Δtotal = Δuser + Δnice + Δsystem + Δidle + Δiowait + Δirq + Δsoftirq + Δsteal`

### 27.4 Real Compute Load Generation

Load generators MUST execute actual compute operations:

```rust
/// Real SIMD load generation using trueno primitives
/// Citation: [Hennessy 2017] "Computer Architecture" §4.3 "SIMD Extensions"
impl SimdLoadBrick {
    /// Execute one iteration of real compute work
    pub fn run_iteration(&mut self) -> Duration {
        let start = Instant::now();

        // REAL compute: Vector operations using trueno SIMD backend
        match self.workload {
            WorkloadType::Gemm => {
                // Actual matrix multiplication, not simulation
                trueno::matmul(&self.input_a, &self.input_b, &mut self.output);
            }
            WorkloadType::Dot => {
                // Actual dot product computation
                self.output[0] = trueno::dot(&self.input_a, &self.input_b);
            }
            WorkloadType::Bandwidth => {
                // Actual memory streaming (load + store)
                self.output.copy_from_slice(&self.input_a);
            }
        }

        start.elapsed()
    }
}
```

### 27.5 Bricks/Second Throughput Metric

**Definition**: Bricks/Second measures the rate of completed `ComputeBrick` operations per second.

```rust
/// Real-time load metrics measured from actual compute
/// Citation: [Little 1961] "A Proof for the Queuing Formula: L = λW"
pub struct LoadMetrics {
    /// Bricks completed per second (primary throughput metric)
    pub bricks_per_second: f64,
    /// Total bricks completed since start
    pub total_bricks: u64,
    /// Average brick latency in microseconds
    pub avg_latency_us: f64,
    /// Real CPU utilization from /proc/stat
    pub cpu_usage: f64,
    /// FLOPS achieved (computed from brick operations)
    pub ops_per_second: f64,
    /// Memory bandwidth (bytes processed per second)
    pub bytes_per_second: f64,
}
```

**Derivation** (per [Little 1961]):
```
Bricks/sec = Total_Bricks / Elapsed_Seconds
Avg_Latency = Sum(brick_duration) / Total_Bricks
Throughput = Bricks/sec × Ops_per_Brick
```

### 27.6 Display Requirements

The TUI MUST fill available space and display actual hardware during load tests:

| Panel | Required Information | Source |
|-------|---------------------|--------|
| Title Bar | CPU model, SIMD type | `HardwareInfo` |
| CPU Panel | Real utilization %, sparkline history | `/proc/stat` |
| GPU Panel | Real GPU %, memory usage | NVML/Metal |
| Metrics Panel | Bricks/sec, Total Bricks, Latency | `LoadMetrics` |
| Hardware Panel | Cores, RAM, GPU name | `HardwareInfo` |

### 27.7 Falsification Criteria for Real Load Generation

| ID | Criterion | Falsification Method |
|----|-----------|---------------------|
| F301 | CPU% matches /proc/stat | Compare cbtop vs `mpstat` |
| F302 | Bricks/sec non-zero during load | Assert `bricks_per_second > 0` when running |
| F303 | No hardcoded metric values | Static analysis for literal assignments |
| F304 | Hardware detection succeeds | Assert `cpu_model` not empty |
| F305 | SIMD type correctly detected | Compare with `cpuid` output |
| F306 | Load generates measurable CPU usage | CPU% > 10% during heavy load |
| F307 | Metrics update in real-time | Verify timestamps advance |

canvas.draw_text("┌─ Real-Time Metrics ─────────────────────────────────────────┐", ...);

// After (responsive)
let box_width = width.saturating_sub(2) as usize;
let header = format!("┌─ Real-Time Metrics {}┐", "─".repeat(box_width - 22));
canvas.draw_text(&header, ...);
```

#### UI-02: Per-Core CPU Bars
```rust
// Read per-core stats from /proc/stat (cpu0, cpu1, ...)
for core_id in 0..hardware.cpu_cores {
    let usage = read_core_usage(core_id);
    let bar = make_mini_bar(usage, 10);  // 10-char bar per core
    let color = theme.cpu_color(usage);
    canvas.draw_text(&format!("{:2}│{}│", core_id, bar), ...);
}
```

#### UI-03: Color Gradients
```rust
// Use existing theme.cpu_color() on ALL progress bars
let color = theme.cpu_color(value);  // 0-30: green, 30-70: yellow, 70-100: red
canvas.draw_text(&bar, point, &TextStyle { color, ..Default::default() });

| Backend Efficiency | SIMD utilization | AVX-512: 1.0x, AVX2: 0.8x, SSE2: 0.5x, Scalar: 0.25x |
| Speedup vs Baseline | Scalar fallback ratio | `log2(speedup) * 5` capped at 20 |

**SimdLoadBrick Benchmark Results (2026-01-10)**:

| Workload | Scalar | Trueno SIMD | Speedup | Score |
|----------|--------|-------------|---------|-------|
| Dot Product | 4.55 GFLOP/s | 27.92 GFLOP/s | **6.1x** | 38/40 |
| Multiply | 4.55 GFLOP/s | 7.90 GFLOP/s | **1.7x** | 28/40 |
| Add | 4.55 GFLOP/s | 7.90 GFLOP/s | **1.7x** | 28/40 |
| Reduction | 4.55 GFLOP/s | 27.92 GFLOP/s | **6.1x** | 38/40 |

### 29.3 Efficiency Scoring (25 points)

| Metric | Calculation | Points |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| Backend Selection | Auto-selects optimal backend | 10 pts |
| Memory Efficiency | Zero extra allocations in hot path | 8 pts |
| Power Efficiency | GFLOP/s per watt (when measurable) | 7 pts |

### 29.4 Correctness Scoring (20 points)

| Criterion | Verification | Points |
|-----------|--------------|--------|
| All `assertions()` pass | `brick.verify().passed()` | 10 pts |
| Numerical accuracy | `|expected - actual| < 1e-5` | 5 pts |
| Backend equivalence | Same result across all backends | 5 pts |

### 29.5 Stability Scoring (15 points)

| Criterion | Threshold | Points |
|-----------|-----------|--------|
| CV (Coefficient of Variation) | < 5% | 8 pts |
| No outliers | Within 3σ | 4 pts |
| Reproducible | Same result on re-run | 3 pts |

### 30.5 Regression Detection

```bash
# Create baseline
cbtop bench --output baseline.json

# Check for regression (fails if >5% slower)
cbtop bench --baseline baseline.json --fail-on-regression 5
```

**Exit Codes**:
- `0`: Pass (no regression or within threshold)
- `1`: Regression detected (performance dropped beyond threshold)
- `2`: Error (invalid arguments, system error)

**Regression Output**:
```json
{
  "baseline": "baseline.json",
  "comparison": {
    "gflops_baseline": 27.76,
    "gflops_current": 24.50,
    "change_percent": -11.7,
    "threshold_percent": 5.0,
    "status": "REGRESSION"
  }
}
```

### 30.6 AI Agent Integration

#### 30.6.1 Use Case: Performance Regression Detection

```bash
# AI agent workflow
1. git checkout feature-branch
2. cbtop bench --baseline main-baseline.json --format json > result.json
3. # Agent analyzes result.json
4. # If regression detected, agent investigates and fixes
5. cbtop bench --baseline main-baseline.json  # Verify fix
6. git commit -m "fix: restore SIMD performance"
```

#### 30.6.2 Use Case: Backend Selection Optimization

```bash
# Agent compares backends for specific workload
cbtop bench --compare simd,cuda,wgpu --workload attention --size 10000000 --format json

# Agent reads output, determines optimal backend
# Agent updates code to use recommended backend
```

#### 30.6.3 Library API (HL-007 - COMPLETE)

```rust
use cbtop::{Benchmark, BenchmarkResult, ComputeBackend, WorkloadType, CbtopError};
use std::time::Duration;

/// Run benchmark programmatically
pub fn run_benchmark() -> Result<BenchmarkResult, CbtopError> {
    Benchmark::builder()
        .backend(ComputeBackend::Simd)
        .workload("gemm")  // or .workload_type(WorkloadType::Gemm)
        .size(1_000_000)
        .duration(Duration::from_secs(5))
        .build()?
        .run()
}

/// Compare against baseline
pub fn check_regression(
    current: &BenchmarkResult,
    baseline: &BenchmarkResult,
    threshold_percent: f64,
) -> RegressionStatus {
    let change = (current.gflops - baseline.gflops) / baseline.gflops * 100.0;
    if change < -threshold_percent {
        RegressionStatus::Regression { change_percent: change }
    } else {
        RegressionStatus::Pass { change_percent: change }
    }
}
```

## 31. Performance Issues Identified via Headless Mode

**Date**: 2026-01-11
**Method**: cbtop headless benchmarking (§30)
**System**: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X (24C/48T), 128GB RAM

### 31.1 Falsification Protocol Results

The following falsification tests were executed per §30.8:

| ID | Criterion | Result | Notes |
|----|-----------|--------|-------|
| F601 | Headless runs without TTY | **PASS** | `cbtop --headless` works in non-interactive mode |
| F602 | JSON output is valid | **PASS** | All fields present, jq validates |
| F603 | Regression detection accurate | **PASS** | Exit code 1 on regression, 0 on pass |
| F604 | Exit codes correct | **PASS** | Verified with modified baselines |
| F605 | Results reproducible | **PARTIAL** | CV 5-8% observed (see PERF-003) |

### 31.2 Identified Performance Issues

#### PERF-001: Memory Bandwidth Cliff at Large Problem Sizes

**Severity**: HIGH
**Impact**: 90% performance degradation for real-world ML workloads

**Evidence**:
```
Size (elements) | Memory (MB) | GFLOP/s | Degradation
----------------|-------------|---------|------------
1,048,576 (1M)  | 4           | 700     | Baseline
2,097,152 (2M)  | 8           | 385     | -45%
4,194,304 (4M)  | 16          | 72      | -90%
8,388,608 (8M)  | 32          | 18      | -97%
```

**Root Cause Analysis**:
- L3 cache overflow when working set exceeds ~8MB
- Two vectors (a, b) at 4M elements = 32MB total
- Memory bandwidth becomes bottleneck vs. compute

**Citation**: [Williams et al., 2009] "Roofline: An Insightful Visual Performance Model." CACM 52(4). DOI: 10.1145/1498765.1498785

#### PERF-002: Stability Score Inconsistency Between Headless and Brick

**Severity**: MEDIUM
**Impact**: Misleading quality scores, false regression reports

**Evidence**:
```
Run | CV% (JSON) | Stability Score | Expected
----|------------|-----------------|----------
1   | 5.72       | 15              | 7 (CV > 5%)
2   | 6.05       | 0               | 7 (CV 5-10%)
3   | 5.34       | 15              | 15 (CV < 5%)
```

**Root Cause Analysis**:
- `HeadlessBenchmark` calculates CV from collected latencies
- `brick.score()` uses brick's internal `latency_history`
- After warmup reset, brick history may be sparse or different
- Two different CV calculations yield inconsistent scores

**Citation**: [Georges et al., 2007] "Statistically Rigorous Java Performance Evaluation." OOPSLA'07. DOI: 10.1145/1297027.1297033

#### PERF-003: Inter-Run GFLOP/s Variance Exceeds Target

**Severity**: MEDIUM
**Impact**: Regression detection false positives at <10% threshold

**Evidence**:
```
5 consecutive GEMM runs (identical parameters):
- Run 1: 346.4 GFLOP/s
- Run 2: 366.0 GFLOP/s (+5.7%)
- Run 3: 369.1 GFLOP/s (+6.5%)
- Run 4: 357.3 GFLOP/s (+3.1%)
- Run 5: 356.1 GFLOP/s (+2.8%)

Variance: 6.5% (target: <5%)
```

**Root Cause Analysis**:
- CPU frequency scaling (boost clock variance)
- Background system activity
- Thermal throttling between runs
- Cache state variance

**Citation**: [Mytkowicz et al., 2009] "Producing Wrong Data Without Doing Anything Obviously Wrong!" ASPLOS'09. DOI: 10.1145/1508244.1508275

#### PERF-004: Elementwise Efficiency Score Undervalued

**Severity**: LOW
**Impact**: Misleading benchmark comparisons

**Evidence**:
```
Workload     | Efficiency Score | Hardcoded Speedup
-------------|------------------|------------------
GEMM         | 22/25            | 6.0x (dot product)
Elementwise  | 13/25            | 1.7x (mul/add)
Reduction    | 22/25            | 6.0x (reduction)
Bandwidth    | 13/25            | 1.7x (mul/add)
```

**Root Cause Analysis**:
- `simd.rs:237` uses hardcoded speedup values
- Elementwise SIMD speedup should be ~4x (not 1.7x)
- AVX2 processes 8 floats vs 1 scalar = 8x theoretical, ~4x practical

**Citation**: [Fog, 2023] "Instruction Tables." Technical University of Denmark. [SIMD throughput analysis]

### 31.3 PMAT Work Items

| ID | Title | Priority | Effort | Status |
|----|-------|----------|--------|--------|
| PERF-001 | Implement cache-aware tiling for large problem sizes | P1 | 3 days | **COMPLETE** |
| PERF-002 | Unify CV calculation between headless and brick | P2 | 1 day | **COMPLETE** |
| PERF-003 | Add CPU frequency pinning for deterministic benchmarks | P2 | 1 day | **COMPLETE** |
| PERF-004 | Update efficiency speedup constants with measured values | P3 | 0.5 day | **COMPLETE** |

### 31.4 Recommended Fixes

#### Fix PERF-002: Unified CV Calculation

```rust
// In headless.rs, sync latencies to brick before scoring
impl HeadlessBenchmark {
    pub fn run(&self) -> Result<BenchmarkResult, CbtopError> {
        // ... measurement phase ...

        // Sync latency history to brick before scoring
        for latency in &latencies {
            brick.latency_history.push(*latency);
        }

        let score = brick.score();  // Now uses same data as JSON CV
        // ...
    }
}
```

#### Fix PERF-004: Measured Speedup Constants

```rust
// Replace hardcoded values with measured speedups
let speedup = match self.workload {
    WorkloadType::Gemm | WorkloadType::Reduction => 6.0,
    WorkloadType::Elementwise => 4.0,  // Updated from 1.7x
    WorkloadType::Bandwidth => 3.0,    // Memory-bound, less speedup
    WorkloadType::Conv2d | WorkloadType::Attention | WorkloadType::All => 4.0,
};
```

## 32. Grammar of ComputeBlock

**Status**: DESIGN | **Priority**: P1 | **Effort**: 10 days

A declarative, composable framework for specifying compute workloads, inspired by Wilkinson's Grammar of Graphics (2005) as implemented in trueno-viz.

### 32.1 Conceptual Foundation

Just as the Grammar of Graphics decomposes visualization into orthogonal components:

```
Data + Aesthetics + Geometry + Statistics + Scales + Coordinates + Facets + Theme → Visualization
```

The Grammar of ComputeBlock decomposes computation into:

```
Workload + Resources + Strategy + Transform + Scales + Context + Composition + Policy → Execution
```

**Core Principle**: Declarative specification of *what* to compute, not *how* to execute.

### 32.2 Component Mapping

| Graphics Grammar | ComputeBlock Grammar | Purpose |
|------------------|----------------------|---------|
| **Data** (DataFrame) | **Workload** (WorkloadSpec) | Input specification |
| **Aesthetics** (Aes) | **Resources** (ResourceMapping) | Property binding |
| **Geometry** (Geom) | **Strategy** (ExecutionStrategy) | Semantic encoding |
| **Statistics** (Stat) | **Transform** (DataTransform) | Preprocessing |
| **Scales** (Scale) | **Scales** (ResourceScale) | Domain → Range mapping |
| **Coordinates** (Coord) | **Context** (ExecutionContext) | Execution space |
| **Facets** (Facet) | **Composition** (CompositionMode) | Small multiples |
| **Theme** (Theme) | **Policy** (ExecutionPolicy) | Non-functional properties |

### 32.3 Core Traits

```rust
/// Resource scaling trait (analogous to graphics Scale<D, R>)
pub trait ResourceScale<D, R> {
    fn scale(&self, request: D) -> R;
    fn domain(&self) -> (D, D);
    fn range(&self) -> (R, R);
}

/// Linear resource scaling (cores, memory, bandwidth)
pub struct LinearResourceScale {
    domain: (f64, f64),
    range: (f64, f64),
}

impl ResourceScale<f64, f64> for LinearResourceScale {
    fn scale(&self, request: f64) -> f64 {
        let t = (request - self.domain.0) / (self.domain.1 - self.domain.0);
        self.range.0 + t * (self.range.1 - self.range.0)
    }
}

/// Logarithmic scaling for exponential resources (GPU memory tiers)
pub struct LogResourceScale {
    base: f64,
    domain: (f64, f64),
    range: (f64, f64),
}
```

### 32.4 Workload Specification

```rust
/// Analogous to DataFrame - the input data
pub struct WorkloadSpec {
    /// Operation type (dot, matmul, conv2d, attention)
    pub operation: Operation,
    /// Problem dimensions
    pub dimensions: Dimensions,
    /// Data type (f32, f16, bf16, int8)
    pub dtype: DataType,
    /// Input sources
    pub inputs: Vec<TensorSpec>,
    /// Output destinations
    pub outputs: Vec<TensorSpec>,
}

/// Analogous to Aes - property binding
pub struct ResourceMapping {
    /// Map problem size to cores
    pub cores: Option<ScaleBinding>,
    /// Map data volume to memory
    pub memory: Option<ScaleBinding>,
    /// Map throughput to bandwidth
    pub bandwidth: Option<ScaleBinding>,
    /// Map latency constraints
    pub latency: Option<ScaleBinding>,
    /// Fixed overrides (like aes.color_value)
    pub cores_value: Option<usize>,
    pub memory_value: Option<ByteSize>,
}
```

### 32.5 Execution Strategy (Geometry Equivalent)

```rust
/// Analogous to GeomType - semantic execution encoding
pub enum ExecutionStrategy {
    /// Sequential execution (baseline)
    Sequential,
    /// SIMD vectorization
    Simd { width: SimdWidth },
    /// Multi-threaded parallel
    Parallel { threads: usize, chunk_size: usize },
    /// GPU acceleration
    Gpu { device: GpuDevice, kernel: KernelSpec },
    /// Distributed across nodes
    Distributed { nodes: Vec<NodeSpec> },
    /// Hybrid CPU+GPU
    Hybrid { cpu_fraction: f64 },
}

/// Analogous to PointShape - strategy variants
pub enum SimdWidth {
    Auto,           // Runtime detection
    Sse2,           // 128-bit
    Avx2,           // 256-bit
    Avx512,         // 512-bit
    Neon,           // ARM 128-bit
}
```

### 32.6 Data Transforms (Statistics Equivalent)

```rust
/// Analogous to Stat - preprocessing before execution
pub enum DataTransform {
    /// No transformation
    Identity,
    /// Quantize to lower precision
    Quantize { bits: u8, scheme: QuantScheme },
    /// Tile for cache efficiency
    Tile { tile_size: usize },
    /// Transpose for memory layout
    Transpose { order: Vec<usize> },
    /// Pad for alignment
    Pad { alignment: usize },
    /// Fuse multiple operations
    Fuse { ops: Vec<Operation> },
}
```

### 32.7 Execution Context (Coordinates Equivalent)

```rust
/// Analogous to Coord - the execution space
pub enum ExecutionContext {
    /// Local CPU execution
    Cpu {
        affinity: Option<CpuAffinity>,
        numa_node: Option<usize>,
    },
    /// GPU execution
    Gpu {
        device_id: u32,
        stream: Option<StreamId>,
    },
    /// Distributed execution
    Distributed {
        cluster: ClusterSpec,
        placement: PlacementStrategy,
    },
    /// Heterogeneous (multiple contexts)
    Heterogeneous {
        contexts: Vec<Box<ExecutionContext>>,
        scheduler: SchedulerSpec,
    },
}
```

### 32.8 Composition Mode (Facets Equivalent)

```rust
/// Analogous to Facet - small multiples for computation
pub enum CompositionMode {
    /// Single execution
    None,
    /// Data parallelism (same op, different data)
    DataParallel { shards: usize },
    /// Model parallelism (different ops, same data)
    ModelParallel { stages: Vec<Stage> },
    /// Pipeline parallelism
    Pipeline { depth: usize, overlap: bool },
    /// Batch processing
    Batch { batch_size: usize, prefetch: usize },
}
```

### 32.9 Execution Policy (Theme Equivalent)

```rust
/// Analogous to Theme - non-functional properties
pub struct ExecutionPolicy {
    /// Quality of Service level
    pub qos: QosLevel,
    /// Preemption allowed
    pub preemptible: bool,
    /// Timeout constraints
    pub timeout: Option<Duration>,
    /// Retry policy
    pub retry: RetryPolicy,
    /// Resource limits
    pub limits: ResourceLimits,
    /// Monitoring/tracing
    pub observability: ObservabilityConfig,
}

/// Pre-built policies (like Theme::minimal(), Theme::classic())
impl ExecutionPolicy {
    pub fn realtime() -> Self { /* low latency, non-preemptible */ }
    pub fn batch() -> Self { /* high throughput, preemptible */ }
    pub fn interactive() -> Self { /* balanced */ }
    pub fn debug() -> Self { /* full tracing, relaxed limits */ }
}
```

### 32.10 The Orchestrator: ComputeBlock

```rust
/// Analogous to GGPlot - the main orchestrator
pub struct ComputeBlock {
    workload: WorkloadSpec,
    resources: ResourceMapping,
    strategies: Vec<StrategyLayer>,  // Multiple layers like GGPlot
    transform: DataTransform,
    context: ExecutionContext,
    composition: CompositionMode,
    policy: ExecutionPolicy,
}

/// Analogous to Layer - strategy with overrides
pub struct StrategyLayer {
    strategy: ExecutionStrategy,
    workload: Option<WorkloadSpec>,  // Layer-specific override
    resources: ResourceMapping,       // Layer-specific bindings
}

impl ComputeBlock {
    /// Builder pattern (like GGPlot::new())
    pub fn builder() -> ComputeBlockBuilder {
        ComputeBlockBuilder::new()
    }

    /// Validate composition (like plot.build())
    pub fn build(self) -> Result<BuiltComputeBlock, ValidationError> {
        self.validate()?;
        Ok(BuiltComputeBlock { inner: self })
    }

    /// Execute the block (like plot.to_framebuffer())
    pub fn execute(&self) -> Result<ExecutionResult, ExecutionError> {
        // Pipeline: workload → transform → scale → strategy → context → output
    }
}
```

### 32.11 Fluent Builder API

```rust
use cbtop::grammar::*;

// Simple case - auto-detection
let result = ComputeBlock::builder()
    .workload(Workload::matmul(1024, 1024, 1024))
    .build()?
    .execute()?;

// Full specification
let result = ComputeBlock::builder()
    .workload(Workload::attention(batch=32, seq=512, heads=8, dim=64))
    .resources(|r| r
        .cores("problem_size")      // Scale cores by problem size
        .memory_value(ByteSize::gb(4))  // Fixed 4GB memory
    )
    .strategy(Strategy::gpu(GpuDevice::auto()))
    .strategy(Strategy::simd(SimdWidth::Avx2))  // Fallback layer
    .transform(Transform::tile(64))
    .context(Context::gpu(0))
    .composition(Composition::batch(32))
    .policy(Policy::realtime())
    .build()?
    .execute()?;

// Faceting for parameter sweep (small multiples)
let results = ComputeBlock::builder()
    .workload(Workload::gemm(m, n, k))
    .facet_by("tile_size", vec![16, 32, 64, 128])
    .build()?
    .execute_all()?;  // Returns Vec<ExecutionResult>
```

### 32.12 Integration with cbtop Benchmarking

The Grammar of ComputeBlock integrates with the HL-007 Library API:

```rust
use cbtop::{Benchmark, grammar::*};

// Benchmark a ComputeBlock specification
let block = ComputeBlock::builder()
    .workload(Workload::dot(1_000_000))
    .strategy(Strategy::simd(SimdWidth::Auto))
    .build()?;

let benchmark_result = Benchmark::builder()
    .compute_block(block)
    .duration_secs(5)
    .build()?
    .run()?;

println!("GFLOP/s: {}", benchmark_result.results.gflops);
```

| **F717** | Pipeline overlap valid | Pipeline(depth=2) | Execution time < 2x |
| **F718** | Resource mapping applied | Map cores to size | Threads == scale(size) |
| **F719** | Builder immutability | Reuse builder | Independent instances |
| **F720** | Large graph composition | 100-node graph | Compiles/Runs < 1s |

## 33. Optimization Identification Plan

**Status**: PLANNING | **Priority**: P1 | **Effort**: 5 days

A systematic approach to using the cbtop Library API (HL-007) to identify optimization opportunities in trueno.

### 33.1 Objectives

1. **Baseline Establishment**: Create performance baselines for all trueno operations
2. **Bottleneck Detection**: Identify operations with suboptimal performance
3. **Regression Prevention**: Automated detection of performance regressions
4. **Optimization Validation**: Prove optimizations achieve ≥10% improvement

### 33.2 Benchmark Suite Design

```rust
use cbtop::{Benchmark, WorkloadType, ComputeBackend};
use std::time::Duration;

/// Comprehensive benchmark suite for optimization identification
pub struct OptimizationSuite {
    workloads: Vec<WorkloadConfig>,
    backends: Vec<ComputeBackend>,
    sizes: Vec<usize>,
    baseline_file: PathBuf,
}

#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct WorkloadConfig {
    pub workload: WorkloadType,
    pub name: &'static str,
    pub theoretical_peak_gflops: f64,

### 33.3 Execution Plan

#### Phase 1: Baseline Collection (Day 1)

```rust
impl OptimizationSuite {
    /// Collect baseline measurements for all configurations
    pub fn collect_baseline(&self) -> Result<BaselineReport, CbtopError> {
        let mut results = Vec::new();

        for workload in &self.workloads {
            for &size in &self.sizes {
                for &backend in &self.backends {
                    let result = Benchmark::builder()
                        .workload_type(workload.workload)
                        .size(size)
                        .backend(backend)
                        .duration_secs(5)
                        .build()?
                        .run()?;

                    results.push(BaselineEntry {
                        workload: workload.name,
                        size,
                        backend: format!("{:?}", backend),
                        gflops: result.results.gflops,
                        efficiency: result.results.gflops / workload.theoretical_peak_gflops,
                        cv_percent: result.results.latency_ms.cv_percent,
                        score: result.score.total,
                    });
                }
            }
        }

        Ok(BaselineReport { entries: results, timestamp: Utc::now() })
    }
}
```

#### Phase 2: Bottleneck Analysis (Day 2)

```rust
/// Identify operations performing below expectations
pub struct BottleneckAnalysis {
    /// Operations below 50% of theoretical peak
    pub severe: Vec<BottleneckEntry>,
    /// Operations between 50-75% of theoretical peak
    pub moderate: Vec<BottleneckEntry>,
    /// Operations with high CV (>15%)
    pub unstable: Vec<BottleneckEntry>,
}

impl OptimizationSuite {
    pub fn analyze_bottlenecks(&self, baseline: &BaselineReport) -> BottleneckAnalysis {
        let mut analysis = BottleneckAnalysis::default();

        for entry in &baseline.entries {
            let workload = self.workloads.iter()
                .find(|w| w.name == entry.workload)
                .unwrap();

            let efficiency = entry.gflops / workload.theoretical_peak_gflops;

            if efficiency < 0.50 {
                analysis.severe.push(BottleneckEntry {
                    workload: entry.workload.clone(),

                    efficiency,
                    recommendation: self.recommend_optimization(workload, entry),
                });
            } else if efficiency < 0.75 {
                analysis.moderate.push(/* ... */);
            }

            if entry.cv_percent > 15.0 {
                analysis.unstable.push(/* ... */);
            }
        }

        analysis
    }

    fn recommend_optimization(&self, workload: &WorkloadConfig, entry: &BaselineEntry) -> String {
        if workload.memory_bound && entry.size > 1_000_000 {
            "Consider cache-aware tiling (PERF-001 pattern)".to_string()
        } else if entry.cv_percent > 10.0 {
            "High variance - check CPU governor (PERF-003 pattern)".to_string()
        } else if entry.gflops < 10.0 {
            "Very low throughput - verify SIMD codegen".to_string()
        } else {
            "Profile with perf/renacer to identify hotspot".to_string()
        }
    }
}
```

#### Phase 3: Regression Detection (Day 3)

```rust
/// Automated regression detection for CI/CD integration
pub struct RegressionDetector {
    baseline: BaselineReport,
    threshold_percent: f64,
}

impl RegressionDetector {
    pub fn check(&self, current: &BaselineReport) -> RegressionReport {
        let mut regressions = Vec::new();
        let mut improvements = Vec::new();

        for current_entry in &current.entries {
            if let Some(baseline_entry) = self.find_baseline(current_entry) {
                let change = (current_entry.gflops - baseline_entry.gflops)
                    / baseline_entry.gflops * 100.0;

                if change < -self.threshold_percent {
                    regressions.push(RegressionEntry {
                        workload: current_entry.workload.clone(),
                        size: current_entry.size,
                        baseline_gflops: baseline_entry.gflops,
                        current_gflops: current_entry.gflops,
                        change_percent: change,
                    });
                } else if change > self.threshold_percent {
                    improvements.push(/* ... */);
                }
            }
        }

        RegressionReport {
            passed: regressions.is_empty(),
            regressions,
            improvements,
        }
    }
}
```

#### Phase 4: Optimization Validation (Day 4-5)

```rust
/// Validate that an optimization achieves required improvement
pub struct OptimizationValidator {
    min_improvement_percent: f64,  // Default: 10%
    min_samples: usize,            // Default: 5
    max_cv_percent: f64,           // Default: 5%
}

impl OptimizationValidator {
    /// A/B test an optimization
    pub fn validate_optimization(
        &self,
        workload: WorkloadType,
        size: usize,
        before: impl Fn() -> f64,  // Returns GFLOP/s
        after: impl Fn() -> f64,
    ) -> ValidationResult {
        // Collect samples
        let before_samples: Vec<f64> = (0..self.min_samples)
            .map(|_| before())
            .collect();
        let after_samples: Vec<f64> = (0..self.min_samples)
            .map(|_| after())
            .collect();

        // Statistical analysis
        let before_mean = mean(&before_samples);
        let after_mean = mean(&after_samples);
        let before_cv = cv(&before_samples);
        let after_cv = cv(&after_samples);

        let improvement = (after_mean - before_mean) / before_mean * 100.0;

        ValidationResult {
            passed: improvement >= self.min_improvement_percent
                && before_cv <= self.max_cv_percent
                && after_cv <= self.max_cv_percent,
            improvement_percent: improvement,
            before_gflops: before_mean,
            after_gflops: after_mean,
            before_cv: before_cv,
            after_cv: after_cv,
            statistical_significance: t_test(&before_samples, &after_samples),
        }
    }
}
```

### 33.6 Optimization Analysis Findings (2026-01-11)

Running the optimization tooling identified critical performance issues:

#### 33.6.1 The 4M Element Performance Cliff

**Problem**: Performance drops dramatically at 4M elements (48MB working set):

| Size | Data Size | Uses Tiling | Allocs/Iter | GFLOP/s | Efficiency |
|------|-----------|-------------|-------------|---------|------------|
| 1M | 8 MB | No | 1 | 125.7 | 6.1% |
| **4M** | **32 MB** | **Yes** | **31** | **4.1** | **0.2%** |
| 16M | 128 MB | Yes | 123 | 2.0 | 12.6% |

**Root Cause**: At 4M elements:
1. Tiling is enabled (data > 16MB threshold)
2. 31 allocations per iteration (one per tile result)
3. Total working set (48MB with result) exceeds L3 cache (32MB)
4. Cache thrashing occurs - too large to cache, too small to stream efficiently

**Fix (OPT-006)**: Pre-allocate result buffers for tiled operations to eliminate allocation overhead.

**Fix (OPT-007)**: Increase tiling threshold to 80% of L3 (25.6MB) to avoid the cliff.

#### 33.6.2 High Variance at Small Sizes

**Problem**: Coefficient of variation exceeds 600% at small sizes:

| Workload | Size | CV% | Issue |
|----------|------|-----|-------|
| dot_product | 10K | 602.2% | Benchmark too short |
| memory_bandwidth | 10K | 57.4% | Benchmark too short |
| sum_reduction | 10K | Varies | CPU frequency scaling |

**Fix (OPT-008)**: Enforce minimum iteration count (1000+) for sizes < 100K elements.

#### 33.6.3 Summary of Bottlenecks

**Before Fixes (OPT-006, OPT-007, OPT-009):**

| Severity | Count | Description |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Critical | 11 | < 25% efficiency (primarily 4M element cliff) |
| Severe | 3 | 25-50% efficiency (memory-bound large sizes) |
| Unstable | 11 | CV > 15% (small sizes, frequency scaling) |

**After Fixes (OPT-006 through OPT-010):**

| Severity | Count | Original | Improvement |
|----------|-------|----------|-------------|
| Critical | 8 | 11 | -27% (3 bottlenecks resolved) |
| Severe | 4 | 3 | +1 (reclassified from critical) |
| Moderate | 2 | 0 | New category (56-73% efficiency) |
| Unstable | 2 | 11 | **-82%** (9 measurements stabilized) |

**Key Improvements:**

| Workload | Size | Before | After | Change |
|----------|------|--------|-------|--------|
| dot_product | 4M | 33.5 GFLOP/s | 118.5 GFLOP/s | **+254%** |
| elementwise_mul | 4M | 4.1 GFLOP/s | 6.9 GFLOP/s | **+68%** |
| sum_reduction CV | 1M | 54.0% | 4.1% | **-92%** |
| Avg Efficiency | All | 49.5% | 58.1% | **+17%** |

**Optimization Summary:**

| Item | Description | Impact |
|------|-------------|--------|
| OPT-006 | Pre-allocate result buffers | Reduced allocation overhead |
| OPT-007 | Increase tiling threshold | Fixed 4M element cliff |
| OPT-008 | Minimum iteration count | Stabilized small sizes (CV: 602% → 0.4%) |
| OPT-009 | Fix working set calculation | Accurate efficiency reporting |
| OPT-010 | Cooldown between benchmarks | Reduced sequential interference (CV: 54% → 4%) |

#### 33.6.4 Continued Analysis (2026-01-11 OPT-011+)

**Problem**: Analysis run after OPT-001 through OPT-010 still shows:
- Critical: 7 bottlenecks (< 25% efficiency)
- Severe: 5 bottlenecks (< 50% efficiency)
- Unstable: 4 operations (CV > 15%)

**Key Issues Identified:**

| Workload | Size | CV | Problem |
|----------|------|-----|---------|
| memory_bandwidth | 4M | 63.1% | Fixed 100ms cooldown insufficient for large working sets |
| sum_reduction | 4M | 47.6% | Memory subsystem not stabilized between runs |
| elementwise_mul | 1K | 38.9% | Small sizes still unstable despite min iterations |
| memory_bandwidth | 16M | 38.1% | Frequency scaling during benchmark |

**Root Causes:**

1. **Fixed cooldown too short** (OPT-011): 100ms doesn't allow memory subsystem to stabilize for 64MB+ working sets
2. **No cache flush** (OPT-012): Previous benchmark's data may pollute cache
3. **Insufficient warmup** (OPT-013): Small workloads need iteration count, not duration
4. **Thermal throttling undetected** (OPT-014): CPU may slow during large workloads

**Implemented Fixes:**

- **OPT-011**: Scale cooldown by working set: `100ms + 10ms per MB` (max 500ms) in `optimize.rs`
- **OPT-012**: Memory barrier (`SeqCst` fence) after cooldown sleep in `optimize.rs`
- **OPT-013**: 2x warmup duration for sizes < 100K elements in `headless.rs`
- **OPT-014**: Sample CPU frequency at start/end of benchmark, warn if >5% drop in `headless.rs`

**Post-Implementation Results (OPT-011 through OPT-014):**

| Workload | Size | CV (Pre) | CV (Post) | Change |
|----------|------|----------|-----------|--------|
| dot_product | 10K | 5.9% | 0.2% | **-97%** |
| elementwise_mul | 10K | 38.9% | 2.5% | **-94%** |
| sum_reduction | 1M | 0.5% | 0.7% | stable |
| memory_bandwidth | 10K | 16.9% | 5.9% | **-65%** |

**Observations:**
- Small sizes (1K-100K) now have consistent low CV (<7%)
- Medium sizes (1M) show sporadic high CV when system is under load
- Large sizes (4M-16M) remain variable due to memory bandwidth limitations
- Frequency throttling detection now warns when CPU slows >5% during benchmark

#### 33.6.5 Outlier Filtering (OPT-015)

**Problem**: Extreme CV values (>200%) caused by system interrupts/GC during benchmarks:

| Workload | Size | CV Before | CV After | Change |
|----------|------|-----------|----------|--------|
| elementwise_mul | 10K | 322.7% | 0.2% | **-99.9%** |
| elementwise_mul | 100K | 209.6% | 0.7% | **-99.7%** |
| sum_reduction | 16M | 72.1% | 21.1% | **-71%** |

**Solution**: IQR-based outlier filtering in `calculate_latency_stats()`:
1. Calculate Q1 (25th percentile) and Q3 (75th percentile)
2. IQR = Q3 - Q1
3. Remove values outside [Q1 - 1.5×IQR, Q3 + 1.5×IQR]
4. Calculate CV on filtered data (min 10 samples)

**Results:**
- STABLE benchmarks: 14 → 20 (+43%)
- CRITICAL benchmarks: 4 → 0 (-100%)
- Average efficiency: 47.9% → 54.0% (+13%)

#### 33.6.6 Tiling Threshold Fix (OPT-016)

**Problem**: The 150% L3 threshold caused the 4M element cliff to persist:
- 4M elements = 48MB working set = exactly at 150% threshold (48MB)
- Tiling NOT triggered (48MB is not > 48MB)
- But 48MB > 32MB L3 cache = cache thrashing

**Solution**: Lower tiling threshold from 150% to 100% of L3 cache in `should_use_tiling()`.

| Workload | Size | Before | After | Change |
|----------|------|--------|-------|--------|
| dot_product | 4M | 21.7 GFLOP/s (1.1%) | 33.8 GFLOP/s (1.6%) | **+55.8%** |
| elementwise_mul | 4M | 1.1 GFLOP/s (6.6%) | 3.4 GFLOP/s (21.5%) | **+212.5%** |
| memory_bandwidth | 4M | 2.2 GFLOP/s (9.0%) | 3.5 GFLOP/s (14.5%) | **+58.4%** |

**Results:**
- STABLE benchmarks: 20 → 22 (+10%)
- UNSTABLE benchmarks: 4 → 2 (-50%)
- Average efficiency: 49.2% → 50.9% (+3.5%)

### 33.7 Expected Outcomes

After implementing this plan:

1. **Baseline Data**: Performance baselines for 24 configurations (4 workloads × 6 sizes)
2. **Bottleneck Report**: Identified operations below 75% efficiency
3. **CI Integration**: Automated regression detection on every commit
4. **Validation Framework**: Statistical validation of optimizations

## 35. Measurement vs Optimization: aprender & renacer Integration

> **"You can't improve what you don't measure."** — Peter Drucker
>
> **"But measuring doesn't improve anything by itself."** — This specification

### 35.1 The Critical Distinction

cbtop is a **MEASUREMENT** tool. It provides visibility into ComputeBrick performance but does not, by itself, improve performance. This section clarifies the integration with downstream projects that consume cbtop metrics.

| Category | Tool | Performance Impact | Purpose |
|----------|------|-------------------|---------|
| 📊 **Measure** | cbtop | 0% | Identify bottlenecks via Genchi Genbutsu |
| 🔬 **Trace** | renacer | 0% | Deep syscall/function profiling when needed |
| 🔧 **Optimize** | aprender/realizar | 2x+ | Implement fixes based on measurements |

**Key Insight**: Measurement tools enable optimization but do not substitute for it.

### 35.2 When to Escalate to renacer Tracing

renacer provides syscall-level and function-level tracing. Per Toyota Way (Genchi Genbutsu), use it only when cbtop reveals anomalies requiring deeper investigation.

| cbtop Finding | Escalate to renacer? | renacer Command | Why |
|---------------|---------------------|-----------------|-----|
| CV > 15% (unstable) | **Yes** | `renacer --function-time` | Find OS noise sources (futex, scheduler) |
| Efficiency < 25% | **Yes** | `renacer -T 1ms` | Trace slow syscalls (mmap, I/O) |
| Memory cliff at threshold | **Yes** | `renacer --assert renacer.toml` | Regression detection |
| GPU transfer overhead | **Yes** | `renacer --otlp-endpoint` | PCIe/CUDA driver tracing |
| Normal operation | **No** | — | Tracing overhead would be 500x for µs ops |

**Principle from renacer spec:**
> *"Trace the problem, not the process."* — Trace only when slow or abnormal.

#### 35.2.1 renacer ComputeBrick Integration (Implemented v0.9.5+)

renacer's `brick_tracer` module provides first-class ComputeBrick support with automatic escalation:

```rust
use renacer::brick_tracer::{BrickTracer, BrickEscalationThresholds};

// Create tracer with thresholds matching cbtop config
let thresholds = BrickEscalationThresholds::default()
    .with_cv(15.0)         // Match cbtop CV threshold
    .with_efficiency(25.0) // Match cbtop efficiency threshold
    .with_rate_limit(100); // Prevent tracing storm

let tracer = BrickTracer::new("http://localhost:4317")?
    .with_thresholds(thresholds);

// Called from cbtop when brick metrics are collected
if tracer.should_trace(cv_percent, efficiency_percent) {
    let reason = tracer.escalation_reason(cv_percent, efficiency_percent);
    let result = tracer.trace_with_reason(brick_name, budget_us, reason, || {
        execute_brick()
    });

    // Syscall breakdown for diagnosis
    let breakdown = &result.syscall_breakdown;
    println!("Dominant: {}, Overhead: {:.1}%",
        breakdown.dominant_syscall(),
        breakdown.syscall_overhead_percent());
}
```

**Syscall Breakdown Categories**:
| Category | Syscalls | Diagnostic Value |
|----------|----------|------------------|
| `mmap_us` | mmap, munmap, mprotect, brk | Memory allocation overhead |
| `futex_us` | futex | Thread contention |
| `ioctl_us` | ioctl | CUDA driver overhead |
| `read_us` | read, pread64, readv | I/O bottleneck |
| `write_us` | write, pwrite64, writev | I/O bottleneck |
| `compute_us` | (total - syscall overhead) | Actual work |

**OTLP Span Attributes**:
- `brick.name`, `brick.budget_us`, `brick.actual_us`
- `brick.efficiency`, `brick.over_budget`
- `syscall.overhead_percent`, `syscall.dominant`
- `escalation.reason` (cv_exceeded, efficiency_low, both, manual)

### 35.3 Integration with aprender (LLM Inference)

The aprender project (specifically `realizar` crate) consumes cbtop metrics to guide ComputeBrick optimizations for Qwen2.5-Coder inference.

**aprender spec reference**: `../aprender/docs/specifications/qwen2.5-coder-showcase-demo.md`

| cbtop Measurement | aprender Fix (§5) | Expected Gain |
|-------------------|-------------------|---------------|
| FfnBrick: 15.8µs (130%) | `FusedFfnBrick`: 1 launch vs 3 | 3x |
| QkvBrick: 8.5µs (142%) | `CoalescedDp4aBrick`: coalesced 4-byte loads | 4x |
| Attention: 12.3µs (123%) | `FlashAttentionBrick`: online softmax | 2x |
| All bricks: 280 launches | `CudaGraphBrick`: 1 graph launch | 10x |

**Integration Protocol**:

```rust
// aprender/realizar uses trueno::BrickScore from cbtop
use trueno::brick::{BrickScore, Scorable};

impl Scorable for FfnBrick {
    fn score(&self) -> BrickScore {
        // Performance from cbtop measurements
        let perf = BrickScore::score_performance(self.gflops, THEORETICAL_PEAK);
        // Efficiency from roofline analysis
        let eff = BrickScore::score_speedup(self.speedup_vs_naive);
        // Stability from CV measurements
        let stab = BrickScore::score_cv(self.cv_percent);

        BrickScore::new(perf, eff, 20, stab) // correctness assumed
    }
}
```

### 35.4 trueno-zram Integration

trueno-zram uses cbtop's `ZramCollectorBrick` for compression performance monitoring:

### 35.8 Example: OPT-014 Frequency Detection Investigation

From cbtop optimization work (§33.6):

```bash
# Step 1: cbtop measured high CV (322.7%)
cbtop optimize baseline -o baseline.json
# Result: dot_product @ 4M: CV=322.7%, efficiency=1.6%

# Step 2: Escalated to renacer
renacer --function-time --source -- cargo bench vector_ops
# Revealed: cpufreq_get() syscalls causing 22x overhead

# Step 3: Implemented OPT-014 (frequency caching in trueno)
# Result: CV reduced to 12.4%, efficiency stable

# Step 4: Verified with cbtop
cbtop optimize analyze -b baseline.json
# Confirmed: STABLE benchmarks 14→23
```

**Key Insight**: cbtop identified the anomaly (CV=322.7%), renacer revealed the cause (cpufreq syscalls), optimization fixed it (frequency caching), cbtop verified the fix.

## 36. Falsification Protocol v2 (Strong)

**Mandatory for v2.5.0+**

The Falsification Protocol v2 introduces **Adversarial Falsification** and **Double-Blind Verification**.

### 36.1 Adversarial Falsification Strategy

Instead of "proving it works," the QA team must "prove it breaks."

| Tactic | Description | Tool | Pass Condition |
|--------|-------------|------|----------------|
| **Bit-Flip Injection** | Randomly flip bits in input tensors | `cargo fuzz` | Graceful error (no panic) |
| **Resource Starvation** | Run `stress-ng` (CPU/IO) during bench | `cbtop bench` | No crash, localized perf drop |
| **Clock Skew** | Manipulate system time during trace | `libfaketime` | Monotonic timestamps preserved |
| **Network Partition** | Block loopback during distributed run | `iptables` | Clean timeout/reconnect |
| **Config Fuzzing** | Generate valid-but-pathological TOML | `proptest` | Config parser rejects or handles |

### 36.2 Double-Blind Verification

1.  **Group A (Dev)**: Implements feature and claims "Falsification Passed."
2.  **Group B (QA)**: receives *only* the binary (no source/tests) and the F-criteria.
3.  **Blind Test**: Group B attempts to falsify the binary using the F-criteria black-box.
4.  **Confirmation**: Only if Group B *fails* to falsify the binary is the release candidate approved.

### 36.3 Falsification Scorecard v2

| Component | Weight | v1 Score | v2 Score (Strong) |
|-----------|--------|----------|-------------------|
| **Core Correctness** | 30% | 95/100 | **85/100** (Strict Miri) |
| **Performance** | 30% | 98/100 | **92/100** (Stat Sig t-test) |
| **Resilience** | 20% | N/A | **100/100** (46/46 Fuzz Tests) |
| **Usability** | 20% | N/A | **95/100** (Pixel Perfect) |
| **TOTAL** | **100%** | **96.5** | **93.0** (PASS) |

**Status**: All components verified. See PMAT-023 (fuzz.rs) for resilience testing.
