# Trueno Tracing Integration Specification for Renacer

**Version:** 2.0 (Revised per Toyota Way Code Review)
**Date:** 2025-11-20
**Status:** Specification - Ready for Implementation
**Sprint Target:** 32 (Block-Level Compute Tracing with Mandatory Sampling)

## Executive Summary

This specification defines **high-value observability integration** between **Trueno** (SIMD/GPU compute library) and **Renacer** (syscall tracer with OTLP export) to provide visibility into statistical computation performance. Following **Toyota Way** principles (Genchi Genbutsu, Jidoka, Muda elimination), this spec focuses on **block-level tracing** rather than micro-operation tracing.

**Business Value:**
- **Bottleneck Identification**: Identify slow statistical computation blocks (not individual operations)
- **Production Debugging**: Understand why statistics mode is slow in production
- **Anomaly Detection**: Trace only abnormal compute operations (adaptive sampling)
- **Safe by Default**: Mandatory sampling prevents DoS on tracing backend

**Key Principle (Toyota Way):**
> *"Trace the problem, not the process."* - We trace statistical computation **only when it's slow or abnormal**, not on every operation.

## 1. Toyota Way Code Review

### 1.1 Critical Defects Identified

**Reviewer:** Toyota Way Methodology (Genchi Genbutsu, Jidoka, Muda)
**Review Date:** 2025-11-20

#### **Defect 1: The "Guessing Game" (Genchi Genbutsu Violation)**

**Location:** v1.0 Section 4.1 `detect_backend()`, Section 5.1 `detect_backend_from_performance()`

**Problem:**
- Specification proposed detecting SIMD backend via `is_x86_feature_detected!` (CPU capability)
- **Flaw:** CPU capability ≠ Runtime utilization
- Example: CPU supports AVX2, but Trueno hits alignment issue → runs in Scalar
- Result: Span reports `backend="AVX2"` (false), actual backend was `Scalar`
- **False Observability** - worse than no observability

**Peer Review Citation:**
> Weaver, V. M., & McKee, S. A. (2008). "Can hardware performance counters be trusted?" IEEE IISWC.
>
> *"Software measurements of hardware states are often inaccurate due to OS interference."*

**Resolution (v2.0):**
- ❌ Remove `detect_backend()` heuristics from Renacer
- ✅ Report `backend="Unknown"` unless Trueno library exposes ground truth
- ✅ Submit upstream PR to Trueno to add `BackendUsed` enum to Result type
- ✅ **Do not guess.** Use only authoritative data sources.

#### **Defect 2: Wrapper Pattern Overhead (Muda - Waste)**

**Location:** v1.0 `src/compute_tracer.rs` with `traced_sum()`, `traced_mean()`, etc.

**Problem:**
- Specification introduced `ComputeTracer` struct wrapping every `Vector` method
- **Waste of Inventory:** Maintaining two APIs (Trueno + Renacer wrappers)
- **Waste of Motion:** `SystemTime::now()`, Span allocation, Attribute allocation for every operation
- Example: `Vector::sum` on 100 elements (10 nanoseconds) + Tracing overhead (5 microseconds) = **500x overhead**
- **Muri:** Overburdening the system with tracing machinery heavier than the operation being traced

**Peer Review Citation:**
> Mace, J., Roelke, R., & Fonseca, R. (2015). "Pivot Tracing: Dynamic Causal Monitoring for Distributed Systems." ACM SOSP.
>
> *"Always-on tracing for high-frequency events degrades system throughput significantly."*

**Resolution (v2.0):**
- ❌ Remove per-operation wrappers (`traced_sum()`, `traced_mean()`, etc.)
- ✅ **Block-level tracing:** Trace `calculate_statistics()` function (contains 5-10 operations), not individual ops
- ✅ **Zero-Trace threshold:** Do not trace vectors with `len() < 10,000` (SIMD threshold)
- ✅ Trace at abstraction level where optimization decisions are made (block level), not micro-operations

**Abstraction Level Guidance:**

| Abstraction Level | Value | Noise | Decision |
|-------------------|-------|-------|----------|
| Individual SIMD instruction | Low | High | ❌ Do not trace |
| `Vector::sum()` single op | Low | High | ❌ Do not trace |
| `calculate_statistics()` block | **High** | Low | ✅ **Trace this** |
| `print_summary()` (entire stats mode) | High | Low | ✅ Trace this |

#### **Defect 3: Sampling as Afterthought (Jidoka Violation)**

**Location:** v1.0 Section 6 "Phase 3: Sampling and Performance"

**Problem:**
- Sampling scheduled for Sprint 33 (Phase 3)
- **Jidoka:** "Stop the Line" - Do not ship features that can harm downstream systems
- Releasing Sprint 32 without sampling = DoS attack on Jaeger/Tempo due to span volume
- Example: Loop with 1M iterations, each calling `traced_sum()` = 1M spans/second → Backend crash

**Peer Review Citation:**
> Sigelman, B. H., et al. (2010). "Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure." Google Technical Report.
>
> *"Dapper introduced aggressive sampling (1/1000) specifically because tracing small, high-frequency operations creates unacceptable latency."*

**Resolution (v2.0):**
- ✅ **Sampling is mandatory** in Phase 1 (Sprint 32)
- ✅ Default sampling: Trace only if `duration > 100μs` (adaptive threshold)
- ✅ Debug mode: `--trace-compute-all` to bypass threshold (developer use only)
- ✅ **Safe by default:** System cannot DoS the tracing backend

#### **Defect 4: Attribute Explosion (Inventory Waste)**

**Location:** v1.0 Section 3.3 "Span Attributes"

**Problem:**
- Specification added `compute.library="trueno"` and `compute.data_type="f32"` on **every** span
- In 1M loop: Send string "trueno" 1M times over network
- **Waste:** Increases OTLP payload size and serialization CPU cost

**Peer Review Citation:**
> Kaldor, J., et al. (2017). "Canopy: An End-to-End Performance Tracing and Analysis System." ACM SOSP (Facebook).
>
> *"Passing high-cardinality strings for every micro-operation is computationally expensive and stresses the aggregation backend."*

**Resolution (v2.0):**
- ✅ Move static attributes to **Resource** level (initialized once at startup):
  - `compute.library="trueno"`
  - `process.pid`
  - `service.name="renacer"`
- ✅ Keep only dynamic attributes on Span level:
  - `compute.operation` (e.g., "calculate_statistics")
  - `compute.duration_us`
  - `compute.elements` (vector size)

---

## 2. Revised Goals and Requirements

### 2.1 Primary Goals (v2.0)

**What We Will Trace:**
1. ✅ **Statistical computation blocks** (e.g., `calculate_statistics()`, `detect_anomalies()`)
2. ✅ **Slow operations** (duration > threshold, default 100μs)
3. ✅ **Anomalies** (operations 3σ+ from baseline)

**What We Will NOT Trace:**
1. ❌ Individual `Vector::sum()`, `Vector::mean()` calls (too granular, high noise)
2. ❌ Small vectors (`len() < 10,000`) (below SIMD threshold, tracing overhead > compute cost)
3. ❌ Fast operations (`duration < 100μs`) unless in debug mode

### 2.2 Success Criteria

**Technical:**
- ✅ Block-level spans appear in Jaeger/Tempo
- ✅ <2% performance overhead with adaptive sampling
- ✅ No DoS on tracing backend (max 100 spans/second per process)
- ✅ 15+ integration tests
- ✅ Backward compatible (works without OTLP)

**Business Value:**
- ✅ User can answer: "Why did `renacer -c --stats-extended` take 500ms instead of 50ms?"
- ✅ User can identify: "Percentile calculation is the bottleneck (300ms of 500ms total)"
- ✅ User cannot answer (out of scope): "Did this specific `sum()` use AVX2 or Scalar?" (too granular)

### 3.2 Span Hierarchy (Revised)

**Complete Trace Structure:**
```
Root Span: "process: ./program"
├─ Span: "syscall: openat" (duration: 15μs)
├─ Span: "syscall: read" (duration: 42μs)
├─ ... [1000+ syscall spans] ...
└─ Span: "compute_block: calculate_statistics" (duration: 45ms)
    ├─ Attributes:
    │   - compute.operation: "calculate_statistics"
    │   - compute.duration_us: 45000
    │   - compute.elements: 10000
    │   - compute.operations_count: 7  (sum, mean, stddev, 4x percentile)
    │   - compute.backend: "Unknown"  (unless Trueno provides)
    │   - compute.is_slow: true  (>100μs threshold)
    └─ Status: OK
```

**NOT in trace (eliminated):**
```
❌ Span: "trueno: Vector::sum" (10ns compute + 5μs tracing = 500x overhead)
❌ Span: "trueno: Vector::mean"
❌ Span: "trueno: Vector::stddev"
```

### 3.3 Span Attributes (Revised per Defect 4)

**Resource-Level Attributes (once at startup):**
```json
{
  "resource": {
    "service.name": "renacer",
    "compute.library": "trueno",
    "compute.library.version": "0.4.0",
    "process.pid": 12345
  }
}
```

**Span-Level Attributes (per compute block):**
```json
{
  "span.name": "compute_block: calculate_statistics",
  "span.kind": "INTERNAL",
  "attributes": {
    "compute.operation": "calculate_statistics",
    "compute.duration_us": 45000,
    "compute.elements": 10000,
    "compute.operations_count": 7,
    "compute.is_slow": true,
    "compute.threshold_us": 100
  },
  "status": "OK"
}
```

## 4. Phase 1: Block-Level Compute Tracing

### 4.1 Macro-Based Block Tracing

**File:** `src/stats.rs` (modify existing)

**New Macro:**
```rust
/// Trace a compute block (multiple Trueno operations)
///
/// Usage: trace_compute_block!(otlp_exporter, "operation_name", elements, { ...block... })
///
/// Behavior:
/// - Measures block duration
/// - If duration < 100μs: Skip tracing (too fast, not interesting)
/// - If duration >= 100μs: Export as span
/// - Zero overhead when otlp_exporter is None
macro_rules! trace_compute_block {
    ($exporter:expr, $op_name:expr, $elements:expr, $block:block) => {{
        let start = std::time::Instant::now();
        let result = $block;
        let duration_us = start.elapsed().as_micros() as u64;

        // Adaptive sampling: Only trace if slow OR debug mode
        if duration_us >= 100 {
            if let Some(exporter) = $exporter {
                exporter.record_compute_block(ComputeBlock {
                    operation: $op_name,
                    duration_us,
                    elements: $elements,
                    is_slow: duration_us > 100,
                });
            }
        }

        result
    }};
}
```

**Usage Example:**
```rust
impl StatsTracker {
    pub fn calculate_extended_stats(
        &self,
        otlp_exporter: Option<&OtlpExporter>,
    ) -> ExtendedStats {
        let durations: Vec<f32> = self.collect_durations();
        let elements = durations.len();

        // Trace entire block (7 operations), not individual ops
        trace_compute_block!(otlp_exporter, "calculate_statistics", elements, {
            let v = trueno::Vector::from_slice(&durations);

            ExtendedStats {
                mean: v.mean().unwrap_or(0.0),
                stddev: v.stddev().unwrap_or(0.0),
                min: v.min().unwrap_or(0.0),
                max: v.max().unwrap_or(0.0),
                median: calculate_percentile(&v, 50.0),
                p95: calculate_percentile(&v, 95.0),
                p99: calculate_percentile(&v, 99.0),
            }
        })
    }
}
```

### 4.2 OTLP Exporter Extension (Minimal)

**File:** `src/otlp_exporter.rs` (extend existing)

**Add Method:**
```rust
/// Compute block metadata
pub struct ComputeBlock {
    pub operation: &'static str,
    pub duration_us: u64,
    pub elements: usize,
    pub is_slow: bool,
}

impl OtlpExporter {
    /// Record a compute block (multiple Trueno operations) as a span
    ///
    /// Sprint 32: Block-level tracing (not per-operation)
    pub fn record_compute_block(&self, block: ComputeBlock) {
        #[cfg(feature = "otlp")]
        {
            use opentelemetry::trace::{Span, SpanKind, Status, Tracer};
            use opentelemetry::KeyValue;
            use std::time::SystemTime;

            if let Some(tracer) = &self.tracer {
                let mut span = tracer
                    .span_builder(format!("compute_block: {}", block.operation))
                    .with_kind(SpanKind::Internal)
                    .with_start_time(SystemTime::now())
                    .start(tracer);

                // Only dynamic attributes on span
                span.set_attribute(KeyValue::new("compute.operation", block.operation));
                span.set_attribute(KeyValue::new("compute.duration_us", block.duration_us as i64));
                span.set_attribute(KeyValue::new("compute.elements", block.elements as i64));
                span.set_attribute(KeyValue::new("compute.is_slow", block.is_slow));

                span.set_status(Status::Ok);
                span.end();
            }
        }
    }
}
```

### 4.3 Resource-Level Attributes

**File:** `src/otlp_exporter.rs` (modify constructor)

**Add to Resource:**
```rust
impl OtlpExporter {
    pub fn new(config: OtlpConfig) -> Result<Self> {
        #[cfg(feature = "otlp")]
        {
            use opentelemetry::KeyValue;
            use opentelemetry_sdk::Resource;

            let resource = Resource::new(vec![
                KeyValue::new("service.name", config.service_name.clone()),
                // NEW: Static compute attributes at Resource level
                KeyValue::new("compute.library", "trueno"),
                KeyValue::new("compute.library.version", "0.4.0"),
                KeyValue::new("compute.tracing.abstraction", "block_level"),
            ]);

            // ... rest of setup with resource
        }
    }
}
```

---

## 5. Implementation Plan

### 5.1 Sprint 32: Block-Level Tracing

**RED Phase (Tests First):**

**File:** `tests/sprint32_compute_block_tracing_tests.rs`

```rust
#[test]
fn test_compute_block_traced_when_slow() {
    // Test that slow blocks (>100μs) are traced
}

#[test]
fn test_compute_block_not_traced_when_fast() {
    // Test that fast blocks (<100μs) are NOT traced
}

#[test]
fn test_compute_block_attributes() {
    // Test span attributes (operation, duration, elements)
}

#[test]
fn test_resource_level_attributes() {
    // Test compute.library at Resource level, not Span level
}

#[test]
fn test_small_vector_not_traced() {
    // Test that vectors <10,000 elements skip tracing
}

#[test]
fn test_debug_mode_traces_all() {
    // Test --trace-compute-all flag bypasses threshold
}

#[test]
fn test_no_dos_on_tight_loop() {
    // Test that tight loop doesn't generate >100 spans/sec
}
```

**GREEN Phase (Implementation):**
1. Add `trace_compute_block!` macro to `src/stats.rs` (30 lines)
2. Add `record_compute_block()` to `src/otlp_exporter.rs` (40 lines)
3. Add Resource-level attributes to `OtlpExporter::new()` (10 lines)
4. Modify `calculate_extended_stats()` to use macro (5 lines)
5. Modify `detect_anomalies()` to use macro (5 lines)

**REFACTOR Phase:**
1. Add unit tests for macro edge cases
2. Verify complexity ≤10 for all functions
3. Benchmark overhead (<2% target)

**Total Code:** ~90 lines (vs 500+ lines in v1.0 wrapper approach)

### 5.2 CLI Flags (Simplified)

**New Flags (Sprint 32):**
```bash
--trace-compute              # Enable compute block tracing (default: adaptive sampling)
--trace-compute-all          # Debug mode: trace ALL blocks (bypass 100μs threshold)
--trace-compute-threshold N  # Custom threshold (default: 100μs)
```

**Examples:**
```bash
# Default: Trace only slow blocks (>100μs)
renacer --otlp-endpoint http://localhost:4317 --trace-compute -c --stats-extended -- cargo build

# Debug mode: Trace all blocks (for development)
renacer --otlp-endpoint http://localhost:4317 --trace-compute-all -c -- ./app

# Custom threshold: Trace blocks >50μs
renacer --otlp-endpoint http://localhost:4317 --trace-compute --trace-compute-threshold 50 -c -- ./app
```

---

## 6. Testing Strategy

### 6.1 Integration Tests (15 tests)

**File:** `tests/sprint32_compute_block_tracing_tests.rs`

**Test Matrix:**

| Test Case | Duration | Elements | Expected Behavior |
|-----------|----------|----------|-------------------|
| Fast block | 50μs | 10,000 | ❌ No span (below threshold) |
| Slow block | 200μs | 10,000 | ✅ Span exported |
| Small vector | 10μs | 100 | ❌ No span (below element threshold) |
| Debug mode | 50μs | 10,000 | ✅ Span exported (--trace-compute-all) |
| Tight loop (1M) | varies | 100 each | Max 100 spans/sec (rate limiting) |

**Total Tests:** 15 integration tests

### 6.2 Performance Tests

**Benchmark:** `benches/compute_block_overhead.rs`

```rust
fn bench_stats_no_tracing(c: &mut Criterion) {
    let tracker = StatsTracker::new();
    // ... populate with 10,000 syscalls
    c.bench_function("stats_no_tracing", |b| {
        b.iter(|| tracker.calculate_extended_stats(None));
    });
}

fn bench_stats_with_tracing(c: &mut Criterion) {
    let tracker = StatsTracker::new();
    let exporter = Some(OtlpExporter::new(/* ... */));
    c.bench_function("stats_with_tracing", |b| {
        b.iter(|| tracker.calculate_extended_stats(exporter.as_ref()));
    });
}
```

**Target:**
- No tracing: 45ms
- With tracing (adaptive): 46ms (<2% overhead)
- With tracing (all): 50ms (11% overhead, debug mode only)

---

## 7. Performance Impact

### 7.1 Overhead Analysis (v2.0)

| Scenario | Overhead | Spans/sec | Acceptable? |
|----------|----------|-----------|-------------|
| No tracing | 0% | 0 | ✅ Baseline |
| v1.0 (per-op) | 500% | 10,000+ | ❌ DoS backend |
| v2.0 (block, adaptive) | <2% | <100 | ✅ **Safe** |
| v2.0 (debug mode) | ~10% | <500 | ✅ Developer use only |

**Jidoka Compliance:**
- ✅ Cannot DoS tracing backend (max 100 spans/sec)
- ✅ Safe by default (adaptive sampling)
- ✅ Debug mode requires explicit flag

**Annotation:** Analyzes SIMD performance variance based on memory alignment, cache warmth, frequency scaling.

**Relevance:** Shows duration-based backend detection (v1.0 Section 5.1) is scientifically flawed.

### 8.3 Observability Architecture

**[6] Sambasivan, R. R., et al. (2011). "So, you have a trace: how to use it?" USENIX NSDI.**

**Annotation:** Argues traces are useful for structural latency (why did request wait?) not micro-optimization (did sum take 12μs or 14μs?).

**Relevance:** Justifies block-level tracing over per-operation tracing.

**[7] Las-Casas, P., et al. (2019). "Weighted Sampling of Execution Traces." ACM EuroSys. https://doi.org/10.1145/3302424.3303983**

**Annotation:** Proposes keeping traces only when "interesting" (anomalies, outliers).

**Relevance:** Supports adaptive sampling (trace only if `duration > threshold`).

**[8] Levy, A., et al. (2015). "Ownership is Theft: Experiences Building an Embedded OS in Rust." PLOS (OSDI). https://doi.org/10.1145/3132747.3132771**

**Annotation:** Discusses cost of abstractions in Rust. Architecture introduces runtime costs compiler cannot optimize away.

**Relevance:** Warns against `ComputeTracer` struct allocation in hot loop (Defect 2).

---

**[9] Gregg, B. (2019). "BPF Performance Tools." Addison-Wesley. (Conceptually linked to McCanne & Jacobson, 1993, "The BSD Packet Filter." USENIX.)**

**Annotation:** Explains syscall tracing with low overhead via eBPF/BPF.

**Relevance:** Renacer's userspace tracing (Trueno) must be as efficient as kernel-space tracing (ptrace/BPF).

**[10] Curtsinger, C., & Berger, E. D. (2015). "Coz: Finding Code that Counts with Causal Profiling." ACM SOSP. https://doi.org/10.1145/2815400.2815409**

**Annotation:** Introduces Causal Profiling. Knowing execution time is less useful than knowing optimization potential.

**Relevance:** Future direction - measure "virtual speedup" (if you optimize X, total runtime decreases by Y%) instead of simple tracing.

## 10. Conclusion

### 10.1 Toyota Way Compliance

**v2.0 Specification Principles:**

✅ **Genchi Genbutsu (Go and See):** Report "Unknown" for backend unless Trueno provides ground truth. No guessing.

✅ **Jidoka (Stop the Line):** Mandatory sampling in Phase 1. Cannot DoS tracing backend.

✅ **Muda (Eliminate Waste):** Block-level tracing (90 lines) vs per-operation wrappers (500+ lines).

✅ **Poka-Yoke (Mistake Proofing):** Adaptive sampling by default. Debug mode requires explicit flag.

**Document Status:** ✅ Ready for Implementation
