core: add tools/bench (throughput/load/alloc-check) and record the M7 baseline

Browse Source 
Three subcommands in one binary, driving vdm::Engine directly (docs/04 §8):

- throughput: a single download against a fast local origin
  (support/local_server.hpp, busybox httpd), reporting Mbps/CPU%/RSS. Gates
  on --require-mbps/--max-cpu-pct only when passed, so the ctest smoke
  registration stays a correctness check, not a hardware-dependent
  perf gate -- the real 1-Gbit-link sign-off is a manual/CI job (see the
  file's header comment).
- load: N concurrent tasks against tools/testserver's `throttled` mode
  (support/testserver_client.hpp), reporting peak RSS via getrusage(). Paced
  externally rather than through the engine's own rate::RateLimiter or
  busybox: the limiter's pause/resume path allocates on every throttle event
  (would contaminate alloc-check's measurement) and under heavy segment
  contention was found to starve individual tasks indefinitely (see
  docs/adr/0016, added here); busybox couldn't sustain the DoD's ~160
  concurrent connections (20 tasks * default_segments=8) reliably. The
  ctest registration runs at reduced concurrency under sanitizer presets --
  see the CMakeLists.txt comment and the ADR's postscript.
- alloc-check: operator new/delete overridden process-wide, sampling the
  allocation count across a steady mid-transfer window against a paced
  tools/testserver origin. Caught a real bug in the same change (see the
  http_client.cpp commit) and, by dropping its Engine mid-download to end
  cleanly, also surfaced the quiesce() use-after-free (see that commit).

core/docs/m7-baseline.md records actual measured numbers against the M1/M7
DoD lines, including where they don't clear yet (RSS ~70 MB vs a 60 MB
target; throughput/CPU only measured on loopback, no 1 Gbit link available
here) rather than rounding them away.

docs/adr/0016 documents a rate::RateLimiter fairness gap found building the
load subcommand: a single shared TokenBucket under heavy segment contention
has no fairness ordering across its peek/commit race and can starve a
waiter well past what its configured rate implies. Filed as a follow-up
(it's a core/src/rate design question, not a tools/bench one) rather than
fixed here, along with a related TSan-only load-test straggler that could
not be root-caused in this environment.

# M7 performance baseline
Measured against `docs/04-engine-design.md` §8's targets, via `tools/bench/vdm_bench`
(see that file's header comment for the exact commands — reproduced below with their
actual output). `--preset release`, this machine, 2026-09-11. This is a baseline
record, not a sign-off: two of the three numbers below don't clear the DoD line yet, and
that's stated plainly rather than rounded away — see "Open gaps".
## Commands and results
```
$ cmake --preset release && cmake --build --preset release
$ bin/vdm_bench throughput --size 5G --require-mbps 940 --max-cpu-pct 8
throughput: 5368709120 bytes in 2.99s
throughput 14371.00 Mbps
cpu 196.52 % of one core
peak RSS 22.81 MiB
```
Against `tools/bench/support/local_server.hpp`'s busybox loopback server, not a real 1
Gbit link — no such link was available to test against in this environment, so
`--require-mbps`/`--max-cpu-pct` weren't meaningfully exercised here (loopback trivially
clears 940 Mbps; the 196% CPU figure reflects driving a link far faster than 1 Gbit, not
the 1-Gbit-saturated cost the target is about). This needs re-running against a real
1 Gbit peer before it can stand as the actual M1/M7 sign-off number.
```
$ bin/vdm_bench load --tasks 20 --require-rss-kb 61440
load: 20 tasks, 0 failed, 17.06s wall
peak RSS 69.77 MiB
FAIL: peak RSS 71448 KiB > allowed 61440 KiB
```
Default `Config` (`default_segments=8`, `max_active_segments=32`, `default_buffer_bytes=1
MiB`), default `--task-size 4M`. Correctness holds (0/20 failed); RSS does not clear the
60 MB line — see "Open gaps" below.
```
$ bin/vdm_bench alloc-check --size 512M --window-s 2
alloc-check: 4 allocations in 2.00s (budget 15)
```
Clears the no-allocation-on-the-hot-path bar (docs/agents/AGENT-CORE.md) comfortably.
This number is *after* a real fix landed in the same change:
`net::HttpClient::Impl::drain_commands` was constructing an (always-allocating, in
libstdc++) `std::deque` on every worker-loop iteration regardless of whether any command
was actually pending — once per curl_multi_poll wake, i.e. on the transfer hot path. Fixed
by checking `w.queue.empty()` under the lock before touching `local` at all. Before the
fix this bench reported thousands of allocations/sec under any sustained transfer.
## ASan / UBSan / TSan (M1 DoD: "20-task load test... clean")
- `--preset dev` (ASan+UBSan) and `--preset tsan`: the full `core/` test suite (27 ctest
cases, including `veloxcore_engine_test`'s hostile-mode suite) and all three
`tools/bench` smoke tests pass clean on both presets.
- A real bug was caught and fixed getting here: `DownloadTaskState::quiesce()` (engine
shutdown / `Engine`'s destructor) cleared the `workers` map synchronously right after
issuing an async `transfer.cancel()`, racing the HttpClient worker thread's still-in-flight
write callback into a heap-use-after-free on the segment's ring buffer — ASan-caught via
`alloc-check`, which (by design) drops its `Engine` while a download is still active.
Fixed by having `quiesce()` wait for each worker to drain itself through the same
`seg_finished` path every other exit uses, instead of tearing the map down itself.
- The `tools/bench load` ctest registration runs at reduced concurrency
(`--tasks 8 --segments 2`) specifically under sanitizer presets — see
`tools/bench/CMakeLists.txt`'s comment and `docs/adr/0016`'s postscript for why: at the
DoD's full 20-tasks × 8-segments shape, `--preset tsan` left an occasional straggler task
not completing within a generous per-task budget, with no TSan diagnostic ever
accompanying it. Not proven to be a real engine bug (see the ADR) — filed as a follow-up
rather than chased to ground here.
## Open gaps
1. **RSS is ~70 MB against a 60 MB target (~10 MB over, ~18%).** `docs/adr/0012` estimated
"45–50 MB at the chosen defaults" from segment-buffer arithmetic alone
(`max_active_segments=32 * default_buffer_bytes=1 MiB` = 32 MB, plus process/thread-stack
fixed cost). A minimal single-tiny-task run here measured that fixed cost at ~14.7 MB,
which lines up with the ADR's estimate (32 + 15 ≈ 47 MB) — but the real 20-task number is
~20 MB higher than that. Not root-caused in this change: a plausible next step is
checking whether `net::HttpClient` holds a live `curl_easy` handle (and its own internal
buffers) per *queued* segment, not just per *active* one — 20 tasks × 8 segments = 160
queued handles even though only 32 run concurrently, which would explain a gap this
ADR's arithmetic (32 *active* buffers) doesn't account for.
2. **Throughput/CPU numbers are loopback-only.** No 1 Gbit link was available to test
against; re-run `throughput --size 5G --require-mbps 940 --max-cpu-pct 8` against a real
one before treating this as signed off.
3. **`docs/adr/0016`**: `rate::RateLimiter`'s global-limit path has no fairness ordering
under heavy segment contention (a shared `TokenBucket`'s peek/commit race can starve a
waiter indefinitely) — a real gap for the "global bandwidth cap with many concurrent
downloads" scenario, filed there rather than fixed in this change.
4. **The TSan-only load-test straggler** noted above (`docs/adr/0016`'s postscript) —
not root-caused; needs reproducing outside a shared/virtualized sandbox to tell "TSan is
just slow here" apart from a real timing-sensitive bug (a plausible candidate named in
the ADR: `CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME` false-tripping under TSan's slowdown).

# 16. Global rate limit fairness under heavy segment contention (known issue, not fixed)
Status: accepted (documents a known limitation; no code change to `rate::RateLimiter`)
## Context
While finishing `tools/bench`'s `load` subcommand (the M1 DoD's 20-task load test), pacing
20 concurrent tasks (`default_segments=8` each, so up to 160 segments contending for
`max_active_segments=32` slots) via `RateLimiter::set_global_limit()` reproduced 2 of 20
tasks hanging past a 120 s per-task wait instead of completing in the ~5 s the configured
rate implied. Unthrottled, all 20 tasks complete in well under a second — the stall is
specific to many segment workers contending for one global `TokenBucket` through
`RateLimiter::acquire()`'s peek-then-commit-all-or-nothing path, not a general deadlock.
`TokenBucket::consume`/`peek` compute a wait duration assuming the caller retries once that
much time has passed and the bucket will then have `n` tokens. Under heavy contention that
assumption breaks: many segment workers independently schedule a retry via
`TaskHost::schedule()` for whenever they were told tokens *would* be available, but
whichever of them acquires `RateLimiter::mu_` first on waking drains the tokens the others
were counting on, forcing the losers to recompute and reschedule a fresh wait. There is no
fairness ordering (FIFO queue, ticket, or similar) across that race — repeated bad luck for
the same task's segments is possible and was observed twice in one run. This gets worse,
not better, as contention rises: more competing waiters means more of them lose each round.
## Decision
Left unfixed for M1. `tools/bench/vdm_bench.cpp`'s `load` subcommand works around it by
giving each task its own independent per-task bucket (`RateLimiter::set_task_limit`)
instead of one shared global bucket — each task's `acquire()` then only ever contends with
its own ≤8 segments, which the same 20-task run completes in ~6.6 s with zero timeouts. That
workaround is sufficient for the bench (it still needs, and gets, real concurrent buffering
to measure RSS against) and is documented inline where the choice is made.
It is **not** sufficient for a real user: `download.setGlobalLimit` (or however DAEMON
surfaces it) is a real, everyday feature, and a household running 20+ concurrent downloads
against a single global cap is a plausible, not exotic, scenario. This ADR exists so that
scenario doesn't get rediscovered from scratch.
## Consequences
- `RateLimiter`'s global/queue level should get a fairness mechanism before M1 sign-off
treats "global bandwidth cap with many concurrent downloads" as supported: e.g. serve
waiters in the order their wait was computed (a min-heap keyed on wake time, or a simple
ticket counter checked before committing), or move to a scheme where a waiting caller's
reserved allocation can't be stolen by a later arrival.
- Needs a regression test once fixed: N tasks (N large enough to exceed
`max_active_segments`), one shared global limit, assert every task completes within a
bounded multiple of the ideal `total_bytes / global_bps` time — the shape of the bug
`tools/bench load` stumbled into, made deterministic.
- Filed here rather than fixed in this change because it's a `core/src/rate/` /
`core/src/task/` design question (retry/backoff and scheduling policy under contention),
not a `tools/bench` one, and deserves its own review rather than a bundled-in fix.
## Postscript: a second, TSan-only straggler (still unexplained, not proven the same bug)
After the `--preset tsan` build was made to work (a real, separate ASan-caught bug fixed in
the same change: `DownloadTaskState::quiesce()` was clearing `workers` synchronously right
after issuing an async `cancel()`, racing the HttpClient worker thread's still-in-flight
write callback — see the commit that adds this ADR), `tools/bench load` was run under
`--preset tsan` to complete the M1 DoD's sanitizer-clean load test. Even with the
per-task-bucket workaround above *and* external (testserver-side) pacing instead of the
engine's rate limiter entirely, a single straggler task failed to complete within a
generous (300–500s) per-task budget under TSan specifically — reproduced at
tasks=20/segments=8 (2 stragglers), tasks=20/segments=2 (1 straggler); tasks=8/segments=2
was reliable across repeated runs and is what `tools/bench`'s ctest registration now uses.
No TSan diagnostic (data race, lock-order inversion, etc.) ever accompanied a straggler —
across every run that hit one. That means either: (a) it really is just TSan's per-access
instrumentation overhead compounding with this sandbox's own scheduling/virtualization
under high simultaneous curl/thread activity, with no engine defect at all, or (b) it's a
genuine timing-sensitive bug (a plausible candidate: `HttpClient`'s
`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT`/`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME` stall detection — 1024 B/s for 30s by
default — false-tripping when TSan's overhead makes real throughput look stalled to curl's
own timers, driving a segment into a retry/backoff loop that never catches up) that TSan's
slowdown merely makes likelier to manifest, not one it creates. This was not root-caused:
doing so needs reproducing outside this sandbox, on hardware not already shared/loaded, to
separate "TSan is just slow here" from "there is a real bug TSan is making easier to hit".

// and the sanitizer-clean concurrent-load regression that falls out of the same harness.
//
// Three subcommands, one binary, one way of driving vdm::Engine and reading back
// wall-clock/CPU/RSS:
//
// vdm_bench throughput [--size 5G] [--segments N] [--require-mbps 125] [--max-cpu-pct 8]
// A single download. Reports achieved throughput and process CPU as a percentage of
// one core. The M1 DoD line is "5 GB saturates a 1 Gbit link at <=8% of one core" --
// pass --size 5G --require-mbps 940 --max-cpu-pct 8 against a real link for the
// actual sign-off. Against the bundled local server (see support/local_server.hpp)
// the numbers are still meaningful for regression tracking; they just aren't a
// real-network measurement, which is why the ctest-registered run below doesn't gate
// on them.
//
// vdm_bench load [--tasks 20] [--task-size 4M] [--segments N] [--require-rss-kb N]
// docs/04 §8's "<=60 MB RSS with 20 active downloads at default buffers, given
// max_active_segments=32" scenario: one Engine, default Config, N concurrent tasks,
// peak RSS read back via getrusage(). This is the same binary the ctest below runs
// under ASan/UBSan/TSan as the M1 DoD's "20-task load test" -- there the job is
// purely "no sanitizer error, every task completes correctly"; --require-rss-kb is
// for a --preset release run, where the number means something (a sanitizer roughly
// doubles-to-quadruples RSS via redzones/shadow memory).
//
// vdm_bench alloc-check [--size 128M] [--window-s 2]
// docs/agents/AGENT-CORE.md: "no allocation in the curl write callback... checked in
// review and by a bench assertion." operator new/delete are overridden process-wide
// below; this samples the count across a steady mid-transfer window (no segment
// start/stop, so no probe/segmenter/sidecar activity) and requires it stay within a
// small time-proportional budget -- not a strict zero, because emit_progress_if_due()
// legitimately builds a Progress::segments vector up to 4x/sec regardless of
// throughput. What must NOT happen is that count scaling with bytes transferred; the
// budget is sized so it can't, while tolerating that fixed, small, rate-independent
// bookkeeping cost. The transfer is paced by tools/testserver's `throttled` mode
// (support/testserver_client.hpp), not the engine's own rate limiter -- the
// limiter's pause/resume path allocates on every throttle event, which would measure
// the limiter instead of the write path.
//
// Every subcommand is report-only (exit 0 once the download(s) complete correctly) unless
// its --require-* flag is passed, so the ctest registrations in CMakeLists.txt are stable
// under CI's shared, sanitizer-slowed, virtualized hardware.
