Closes the CI-reachable slice of the Phase 1 infra gaps: - trust-layer job: cargo test + clippy -D warnings + fmt - target-gates-no-net: fetches pinned targets (new targets/fetch.sh), regenerates + verifies corpora, runs 'just gates tokei' mechanically, and executes the bench workload inside a --network=none container (SPEC 3.1/10 no-net requirement) - runner-calibration (informational): A/A + injection harness measures the shared runner's noise floor per run, evidence uploaded as an artifact — environments are judged empirically, not assumed - perf-probe (informational): reports which perf event sources work docs/infra.md maps each remaining hardware requirement (pinned cores, governor/SMT control, separate-uid trust layer) to the bench-metal self-hosted runner setup a human can complete in ~15 min.

# Bench infrastructure — what Phase 1 still needs from hardware
|
|
|
|
The trust layer is code-complete for Phase 1 (calibration, gates,
|
|
verdict, agent IPC), but SPEC-grade *bench numbers* need hardware this
|
|
repo's CI cannot provide. Status by requirement:
|
|
|
|
| Requirement (SPEC §3.1/§10) | GH-hosted runner | This repo's answer |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| No-network target execution | ✅ docker `--network=none` | `target-gates-no-net` CI job |
|
|
| Gates run mechanically | ✅ | `just gates` in CI |
|
|
| Environment noise measured | ✅ (measured, likely fails bars) | `runner-calibration` CI job, artifact per run |
|
|
| Profiling | ⚠️ software `cpu-clock` only (VM PMU usually absent) | `perf-probe` CI job reports what works |
|
|
| Pinned cores, governor, SMT/turbo control | ❌ shared VM | **bench-metal box (below)** |
|
|
| Separate-uid read-only trust layer | ❌ | bench-metal box setup |
|
|
|
|
## The bench-metal box (human setup, ~15 min + account)
|
|
|
|
Any dedicated bare-metal server works; the budget default is a Hetzner
|
|
AX-line dedicated server (other options: OVH/Equinix Metal/AWS
|
|
`*.metal`). Setup:
|
|
|
|
1. Ubuntu LTS; `apt install linux-tools-$(uname -r) docker.io git build-essential`.
|
|
2. Measurement discipline: `cpupower frequency-set -g performance`;
|
|
disable SMT (`echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control`) and
|
|
turbo; reserve two cores via `isolcpus=` kernel arg; set
|
|
`pin_prefix` in `config/accept.toml` to those cores.
|
|
3. Register as a GitHub self-hosted runner with label `bench-metal`
|
|
(repo Settings → Actions → Runners). Run the runner as an
|
|
unprivileged user; make `crates/`, `config/`, `corpora/` owned by a
|
|
different user (this is the separate-uid enforcement from SPEC §10).
|
|
4. First act: `just calibrate <real workload> results/calibration/bench-metal-01.json`
|
|
— the box is only trusted after its own A/A + injection evidence is
|
|
committed. Then flip verdict bench jobs to `runs-on: bench-metal`.
|
|
|
|
Until that box exists, verdict-grade benches keep running wherever a
|
|
human has verified calibration evidence first (as done for this
|
|
container in `results/calibration/`).
