## 1. Executive Summary

### 1.1 The Claim We Must Prove

> "renacer can provide syscall-level deep tracing for any process displayed in ptop, with <5% overhead when idle and <15% overhead when actively tracing, while maintaining ptop's 60fps refresh rate."

### 1.2 Problem Statement

ptop (presentar-terminal) provides system-wide visibility via `/proc` and `/sys` polling, but lacks the ability to answer **why** a process is consuming resources. When a process shows:

- CPU > 80%
- I/O wait > 50%
- Memory pressure > 70 (PSI)
- OOM score > 500

Users need syscall-level visibility to diagnose root cause. Currently, they must:

1. Exit ptop
2. Run `strace -p <pid>` or `perf trace`
3. Manually correlate output

This violates Toyota Way's **Mieruka** (visual management) - the problem should be visible in the same interface.

### 1.3 Solution

Integrate renacer's `process_tracer` module into ptop as a new analyzer that:

1. Monitors process metrics for anomalies
2. Escalates to syscall tracing when thresholds exceeded
3. Displays breakdown in a dedicated Trace Panel
4. Exports spans to Jaeger/Tempo via OTLP

### 1.4 Success Criteria

| Metric | Target | Measurement |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| Idle overhead | <5% CPU | `perf stat` comparison |
| Active tracing overhead | <15% CPU | `perf stat` with tracing |
| Frame rate | 60fps maintained | Frame timing histogram |
| Trace latency | <100ms to first span | Stopwatch from anomaly detection |
| Memory overhead | <50MB per traced process | `/proc/self/status` VmRSS |

## 2. Scientific Foundations

### 2.1 Adaptive Tracing (Pivot Tracing)

Per Mace et al. (2015), "Pivot Tracing: Dynamic Causal Monitoring for Distributed Systems":

> "Always-on tracing for high-frequency events degrades system throughput significantly. Pivot Tracing enables dynamic, selective tracing triggered by runtime conditions."

**Application**: We only attach renacer to processes exceeding escalation thresholds. The tracer remains dormant until anomaly detection triggers escalation.

### 2.2 Statistical Process Control

Per Shewhart (1931), "Economic Control of Quality of Manufactured Product":

> "A process is in statistical control when variation is due only to common causes. Special cause variation requires investigation."

**Application**: We use z-score deviation from baseline syscall timing to detect anomalies. Syscalls with z > 3.0 are flagged as special cause variation requiring root cause analysis.

### 2.3 Roofline Model for Efficiency

Per Williams et al. (2009), "Roofline: An Insightful Visual Performance Model":

> "Efficiency = Achieved Performance / Peak Performance. Efficiency < 25% indicates severe bottleneck."

**Application**: ProcessTracerAnalyzer computes efficiency as `compute_us / total_us`. When efficiency < 25%, syscall overhead dominates and deep tracing is warranted.

### 2.4 Dapper Sampling

Per Sigelman et al. (2010), "Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure":

> "Aggressive sampling (1/1024) prevents tracing from becoming a denial-of-service attack on production systems."

**Application**: We rate-limit traces to `max_traces_per_sec` (default: 100) to prevent tracer overhead from dominating the traced process.

### 2.5 Cognitive Load Theory

Per Sweller (1988), "Cognitive Load During Problem Solving":

> "Extraneous cognitive load should be minimized to maximize germane load for learning/problem-solving."

**Application**: The Trace Panel uses sparklines and category bars (visual encoding) rather than raw numbers to minimize cognitive load during incident response.

### 2.6 Falsificationism

Per Popper (1959), "The Logic of Scientific Discovery":

> "A theory is scientific if and only if it is falsifiable. We do not seek to verify theories but to refute them."

**Application**: Section 12 provides 100 falsification tests. Each test specifies a condition that, if true, proves the implementation incorrect.

## 3. Toyota Way Alignment

### 3.1 Genchi Genbutsu (Go and See)

**Principle**: Go to the source to find facts and make correct decisions.

**Implementation**:
- Trace real syscalls via ptrace, not simulated workloads
- Display actual `/proc/[pid]/syscall` data, not estimates
- Show source file:line correlation via DWARF debug info

### 3.2 Jidoka (Autonomation)

**Principle**: Build in quality; stop when problems occur.

**Implementation**:
- Auto-escalate to tracing when anomaly thresholds exceeded
- Stop tracing when process returns to normal (hysteresis)
- Emit OTLP spans with failure reason for post-mortem

### 3.3 Muda Elimination (Waste Reduction)

**Principle**: Eliminate waste in all forms.

**Implementation**:
- Zero tracing overhead when no anomalies (tracer dormant)
- Rate-limit traces to prevent self-DoS
- Batch syscall events to reduce IPC overhead

### 3.4 Mieruka (Visual Management)

**Principle**: Make problems visible at a glance.

**Implementation**:
- Trace Panel shows syscall breakdown as horizontal bars
- Hot syscalls (>10ms) marked with fire emoji
- Z-score deviation shown as color gradient (green→yellow→red)

### 3.5 Heijunka (Level Loading)

**Principle**: Level out workload to prevent peaks.

**Implementation**:
- Stagger trace collection across tick intervals
- Use ring buffer for syscall history (bounded memory)
- Decay old traces to prevent unbounded growth

### 3.6 Kaizen (Continuous Improvement)

**Principle**: Improve continuously through small incremental changes.

**Implementation**:
- Expose metrics via Prometheus endpoint for trend analysis
- Track mean time to detection (MTTD) for anomalies
- A/B test threshold values to optimize detection accuracy

## 10. Performance Constraints

### 10.1 Overhead Budget

| State | CPU Overhead | Memory Overhead | Latency Impact |
|-------|-------------|-----------------|----------------|
| Dormant (no anomalies) | <1% | <1MB | None |
| Monitoring (checking thresholds) | <2% | <5MB | None |
| Attaching | <5% (one-time) | <10MB | <10ms |
| Tracing (active) | <15% | <50MB/process | <5ms/syscall |
| Exporting (OTLP) | <3% | <20MB buffer | Async |

### 10.2 Benchmarks Required

```rust
#[bench]
fn bench_dormant_overhead(b: &mut Bencher) {
    let analyzer = ProcessTracerAnalyzer::new(
        EscalationThresholds::default(),
        ProcessTraceConfig::default(),
    );

    // Simulate no anomalies - all processes below threshold
    let stats: HashMap<u32, ProcessStats> = (1..100)
        .map(|pid| {
            (
                pid,
                ProcessStats {
                    cpu_percent: 10.0, // Below threshold
                    ..Default::default()
                },
            )
        })
        .collect();

    b.iter(|| {
        analyzer.collect(&stats).unwrap();
    });
}

#[bench]
fn bench_active_tracing(b: &mut Bencher) {
    // Spawn a test process that makes syscalls
    let child = std::process::Command::new("dd")
        .args(["if=/dev/zero", "of=/dev/null", "bs=1M", "count=1000"])
        .spawn()
        .unwrap();

    let config = ProcessTraceConfig::default();
    let trace = attach(child.id(), config).unwrap();

    b.iter(|| {
        collect(&mut trace).unwrap();
    });

    detach(trace).unwrap();
    child.kill().unwrap();
}
```

### 10.3 Frame Rate Protection

```rust
impl App {
    fn tick(&mut self) {
        let tick_start = Instant::now();

        // Collect from all analyzers
        self.analyzers.collect_all();

        // Check if tracing is consuming too much time
        let analyzer_time = tick_start.elapsed();
        if analyzer_time > Duration::from_millis(40) {
            // 40ms = 25fps minimum
            tracing::warn!(
                "Analyzer collection took {:?}, reducing trace concurrency",
                analyzer_time
            );
            self.analyzers.process_tracer.reduce_concurrency();
        }

        // Render UI (remaining time budget)
        self.render();
    }
}
```

## 11. Security Model

### 11.1 Required Capabilities

| Capability | Purpose | Alternative |
|------------|---------|-------------|
| `CAP_SYS_PTRACE` | Attach to processes | Run as root |
| `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH` | Read `/proc/[pid]/*` | Process must be owned by user |

### 11.2 Permission Check

```rust
impl ProcessTracerAnalyzer {
    pub fn is_available(&self) -> bool {
        // Check 1: Running as root
        if nix::unistd::geteuid().is_root() {
            return true;
        }

        // Check 2: Has CAP_SYS_PTRACE
        if let Ok(status) = std::fs::read_to_string("/proc/self/status") {
            if let Some(cap_line) = status.lines().find(|l| l.starts_with("CapEff:")) {
                if let Some(hex) = cap_line.split_whitespace().nth(1) {
                    if let Ok(caps) = u64::from_str_radix(hex, 16) {
                        // CAP_SYS_PTRACE = bit 19
                        return (caps & (1 << 19)) != 0;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        // Check 3: ptrace_scope allows tracing
        if let Ok(scope) = std::fs::read_to_string("/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope") {
            if scope.trim() == "0" {
                return true; // Classic ptrace permissions
            }
        }

        false
    }
}
```

### 11.3 Sandboxing

```rust
/// Only allow tracing processes owned by the current user (unless root)
fn can_trace_pid(pid: u32) -> Result<bool, TracerError> {
    if nix::unistd::geteuid().is_root() {
        return Ok(true);
    }

    let status = std::fs::read_to_string(format!("/proc/{}/status", pid))?;
    let uid_line = status
        .lines()
        .find(|l| l.starts_with("Uid:"))
        .ok_or(TracerError::ProcessNotFound { pid })?;

    let real_uid: u32 = uid_line
        .split_whitespace()
        .nth(1)
        .and_then(|s| s.parse().ok())
        .ok_or(TracerError::ProcessNotFound { pid })?;

    Ok(real_uid == nix::unistd::getuid().as_raw())
}
```

## 12. Popperian Falsification Tests (F001-F100)

Per Popper (1959): "A theory is scientific if and only if it is falsifiable. We do not seek to verify theories but to refute them."

### 12.0 Falsification Protocol

To ensure rigor, the following protocol must be strictly observed:

1.  **Null Hypothesis ($H_0$):** The `process_tracer` module introduces unstable latency spikes (>16ms) or memory leaks (>50MB/hr) into the host `ptop` application.
2.  **Falsification Criteria:** If *any* of the 100 tests below fail (i.e., the condition is observed), $H_0$ is **CONFIRMED**, and the feature is considered unsafe for release.
3.  **Stop-the-Line (Jidoka):** Upon a single failure in CI/CD, the release pipeline must halt immediately. No "hotfixes" allowed without a full re-run of the 100-point matrix.

Each test below specifies a condition that, **if observed**, proves the implementation incorrect. All 100 tests must PASS (condition NOT observed) before release.

| F019 | OTLP export succeeds | `to_otlp_span()` panics | `cargo test test_otlp_span` |
| F020 | Error types are Send+Sync | `TracerError` not `Send+Sync` | `cargo test test_error_send_sync` |

### 12.9 Catastrophic Failure Protocol

If any of the following occur during the 100-point validation, the feature must be **Disabled by Default** in the shipping binary until a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is completed and peer-reviewed:

1.  **Host Crash:** `ptop` panics or SEGFAULTs during a trace session.
2.  **Target Freeze:** The traced process enters a D (uninterruptible sleep) state for >1 second.
3.  **Frame Drop:** The UI thread blocks for >50ms (3 dropped frames) more than 3 times in a 1-minute session.

**Pivot Strategy:** If these failures persist after 2 Sprint cycles (2 weeks), the Deep Tracing feature will be replaced by a "Lightweight Polling Mode" (reading `/proc/[pid]/io` only), abandoning `ptrace` entirely for the v1.0 release.
