Both consumers are thin loops over that array:</p><ul><li><p><code>packages/core/src/analyzer.ts</code>: <code>analyze()</code> runs every entry regardless of scope, skipping only <code>inScorecard:false</code> ones; <code>auditConfig()</code> separately runs the <code>scope:&#39;config&#39;</code> entries. The four <code>configAudit</code> entries stay out of the bottleneck catalog because each sets <code>inScorecard:false</code>, not because of <code>scope:&#39;config&#39;</code>: a future config-scope detector without that flag would run through <code>analyze()</code> too. Each finding is stamped with its entry&#39;s <code>docAnchor</code>.</p></li><li><p><code>src/view/detector-registry.tsx</code>: a <code>REGISTRY: Record&lt;findingType, {component, region}&gt;</code> replaces <code>dashboard-renderer.js</code>&#39;s <code>render:</code> bindings, one entry per emitted finding type. <code>orderedWidgets()</code> walks <code>DETECTORS</code> ascending by <code>order</code>, then sorts <code>action</code>-region components before <code>reference</code>-region ones. Every <code>finding.type</code> maps to its own component now (the 2026-09 widget/finding-type 1:1 mapping redesign split six components that used to multiplex several types each: <code>TaskSkew</code> into <code>Skew</code>/<code>StageShape</code>/<code>TinyTask</code>; <code>ShuffleIO</code> narrowed to <code>shuffle</code> only, plus a new <code>PartitionSizing</code>; <code>Failures</code> into <code>StageFailed</code>/ <code>TaskFailures</code>/<code>RetryWaste</code>; <code>ExecutorTimeline</code> into <code>SlowHost</code>/ <code>StageSlowness</code>/<code>Straggler</code>/<code>SpeculationWaste</code>/<code>ColdStart</code> (its non-finding-driven executor-count chart moved to <code>ExecutorCountChart</code>, a <code>ReferenceSection</code> tile, not a <code>REGISTRY</code> entry); <code>MemoryUtilization</code> narrowed to <code>memoryUtilization</code> only, plus a new <code>ExecutorUtilization</code> for <code>utilization</code>; <code>PlanFindings</code> into <code>DuplicatePlanSubtree</code>/<code>SmallFiles</code>/ <code>UnderBroadcast</code>/<code>OverBroadcast</code>, dropping the dead <code>broadcastSizing</code> key entirely). No two <code>REGISTRY</code> entries share a <code>component</code> value any more.</p><p>Each widget component receives the full catalog and self-gates when it has nothing to show, rendering <code>null</code> or a muted &quot;no issue&quot; card for the always-visible ones. <code>orderedWidgets()</code> itself has no empty/non-empty branching, since it iterates the static <code>DETECTORS</code> import, not the runtime <code>catalog</code>.</p></li></ul><p>Thresholds live only in each entry&#39;s <code>thresholds</code>; see <a href="#bottleneck-thresholds-spec-§4">Bottleneck thresholds</a>.</p><h2 id="confidence-disclosure" tabindex="-1">Confidence disclosure <a class="header-anchor" href="#confidence-disclosure" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Confidence disclosure&quot;">​</a></h2><p>A <code>Detector</code> entry (or the <code>Finding</code> it returns) may carry <code>confidence: &#39;low&#39; | &#39;medium&#39; | &#39;high&#39;</code> plus a <code>validationRequired</code> string. <code>RowStatusCluster</code> (<code>src/view/RowStatusCluster.tsx</code>) is the one place that renders it, gated to Advanced density: a plain &quot;&lt;confidence&gt; confidence&quot; badge whose tooltip carries the full <code>validationRequired</code> text. A finding with no <code>confidence</code> field renders identically to a fully-validated one, so every detector whose thresholds are our own unvalidated noise floor (marked <code>NOT SOURCED</code> in a code comment) should set both fields, not just the ones that happen to already have <code>RowStatusCluster</code> wired into their widget. <code>skew</code>, <code>straggler</code>, and <code>gc</code> set <code>confidence</code> for exactly this reason: their runtime-floor thresholds carry the same kind of unvalidated-noise-floor caveat <code>coreLocality</code>, <code>autoscalingChurn</code>, and <code>memoryUtilization</code>&#39;s <code>wasteModel</code> variant already disclose. None of these hardcode a single confidence value: each scales <code>&#39;low&#39; | &#39;medium&#39; | &#39;high&#39;</code> off how far the finding sits past its own detector&#39;s threshold, via a small named helper placed just above the <code>DETECTORS</code> array (e.g. <code>skewConfidence</code>, <code>coreLocalityConfidence</code>, <code>cachingReuseConfidence</code>) rather than an inline literal.</p><h2 id="the-fixeffort-field" tabindex="-1">The <code>fixEffort</code> field <a class="header-anchor" href="#the-fixeffort-field" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;The `fixEffort` field&quot;">​</a></h2><p>Each <code>Detector</code> entry also carries <code>fixEffort: &#39;config&#39; | &#39;code&#39; | &#39;rearchitect&#39;</code>, alongside <code>order</code> and <code>thresholds</code>: a rough estimate of how much work resolving the finding takes.</p><p>No view currently reads it. The quadrant impact/effort bucketing this field was meant to feed (<code>bucketFinding</code>/<code>effortTier</code>/<code>computeImpactMagnitude</code> in a since-deleted <code>src/quadrant-bucket.ts</code>, gated behind a <code>FIX_EFFORT_MAPPING_REVIEWED</code> flag that never flipped to <code>true</code>) was removed as dead code in the recommendations-consolidation redesign: <code>FixTheseFirst</code> (<code>src/view/widgets/FixTheseFirst.tsx</code>) ranks purely by impact magnitude. See <a href="./widget-rendering.html#widget-rendering-order-fixed-spec-§5">Widget rendering order</a> for how it ranks findings today.</p><p>Two shared helpers back multiple detectors and reports. <code>packages/core/src/plan-tree-walk.ts</code>&#39;s <code>walkPlanTree(root, visit, {dedupe})</code> is the iterative pre-order plan-tree traversal used by <code>detectors.ts</code> and every <code>plan-*.ts</code> module (<code>plan-summary.ts</code>, <code>plan-duration-attribution.ts</code>, <code>plan-node-detail.ts</code>, <code>plan-dot.ts</code>). <code>packages/core/src/core-count.ts</code>&#39;s <code>computeTotalCores(app, executorsAdded)</code> is the shared core-count logic used by <code>efficiency-model.ts</code>, <code>scaling-sim.ts</code>, and <code>wasted-core-hours.ts</code>. <code>detectors.ts</code>&#39;s own <code>utilization</code> and <code>memoryUtilization</code> entries use the same file&#39;s <code>computePeakConcurrentCores</code>/<code>computePeakConcurrentExecutorCount</code> instead: <code>computeTotalCores</code> sums every <code>ExecutorAdded</code> event with no regard for overlap, so under executor churn (spot preemption, <code>dynamicAllocation</code> replacement) it double-counts a churned executor&#39;s capacity against its replacement&#39;s; the peak-concurrent sweeps don&#39;t.</p><h2 id="cross-detector-suppression" tabindex="-1">Cross-detector suppression <a class="header-anchor" href="#cross-detector-suppression" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Cross-detector suppression&quot;">​</a></h2><p>An entry may declare an optional <code>suppressWhen(finding, out)</code> method. <code>analyzer.ts</code>&#39;s <code>push()</code>, the single choke point every finding passes through, calls it per-finding, after the null guard and before the push, and drops the finding silently when it returns <code>true</code>. <code>out</code> is the findings accumulated so far. Since <code>analyze()</code>&#39;s loop is detector-outer / stage-inner, every finding from a detector declared earlier in <code>DETECTORS</code> is already in <code>out</code> by the time a later detector runs, for every stage. That makes the pattern purely declaration-order-driven: the suppressing detector must be declared earlier in the <code>DETECTORS</code> array than the suppressed one.</p><p><code>stageSlowness</code> uses this to defer to <code>slowHost</code>. It is spliced immediately after the <code>slowHost</code> entry regardless of its <code>order</code> field (<code>order</code> only controls render sequencing, not evaluation order), and <code>tests/analyzer.test.js</code>&#39;s &quot;detector contract&quot; suite asserts the array-index ordering so a future reorder can&#39;t silently break the suppression. The mechanism is deliberately minimal: a same-array, predicate-in-<code>push()</code> filter, not a general dependency graph. <code>auditConfig()</code>&#39;s own <code>push()</code> call is unaffected, since <code>scope:&#39;config&#39;</code> entries declare no <code>suppressWhen</code>.</p><h2 id="per-operator-duration-attribution" tabindex="-1">Per-operator duration attribution <a class="header-anchor" href="#per-operator-duration-attribution" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Per-operator duration attribution&quot;">​</a></h2><p><code>packages/core/src/plan-duration-attribution.ts</code> (entry <code>attributeStageDurationToPlan(planTree, stagesById, sqlExec)</code>) approximates how a SQL execution&#39;s stage wall-time splits across plan operators, returning a <code>Map&lt;planNode, milliseconds&gt;</code>. It cuts the plan tree at Exchange boundaries into connected components: since the Exchange write/read split (<code>resolvePlanTree</code> in <code>event-handlers.ts</code> always synthesizes a <code>read</code> node wrapping a <code>write</code> node for every raw <code>Exchange</code>/<code>BroadcastExchange</code>), the cut is keyed off <code>PlanNode.exchangeRole === &#39;read&#39;</code> on the parent, not a name regex: the write half starts the new component, the read half stays in its parent&#39;s. A node with no <code>exchangeRole</code> at all (for example <code>ReusedExchange</code>, which is never split) never starts a new component on its own, unlike the old name-based regex, which matched any Exchange-family name regardless of split state. Each component receives a stable pre-order identity and separate parent/depth/traversal metadata; the identity itself does not encode its count of Exchange ancestors. It zips components deepest-first by that explicit depth against submission-ordered stage IDs, then apportions each matched stage&#39;s wall-time across that component&#39;s nodes by timing-metric weight, falling back to an even split when no node carries a timing metric.</p><p>This is best-effort inference, not measurement. Spark&#39;s event model exposes no ground truth for per-operator time within a stage; the Exchange-boundary segmentation and deepest-component-to-earliest-stage zip are heuristics. Treat the per-operator numbers as directional hints, never as authoritative timings, and do not build hard thresholds or findings on top of them.</p><h2 id="stage-id-attribution-for-plan-advisor-findings" tabindex="-1">Stage-ID attribution for Plan Advisor findings <a class="header-anchor" href="#stage-id-attribution-for-plan-advisor-findings" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Stage-ID attribution for Plan Advisor findings&quot;">​</a></h2><p>The Plan Advisor detectors (<code>duplicatePlanSubtree</code>, <code>smallFiles</code>, <code>broadcastSizing</code> in <code>packages/core/src/detectors.ts</code>) each attribute their finding to a narrowed <code>stageIds</code> set rather than the whole SQL execution: <code>PlanNode.stageIds</code> is resolved once per plan tree at parse time by unioning, per node, every metric&#39;s accumulator ID against a <code>taskAccumStages: Map&lt;accumulatorId, Set&lt;stageId&gt;&gt;</code> built while parsing <code>TaskEnd</code> events, then clipping the result to the execution&#39;s own stage set. An accumulator ID occasionally points to a <em>different</em> execution&#39;s stages, e.g. a <code>ReusedSubquery</code> computed once and reused verbatim, and the clip prevents misattributing that other execution&#39;s work. Each detector unions its implicated node(s)&#39; <code>stageIds</code> and falls back to the execution-wide set only when no implicated node has any coverage; a finding never partially blends a narrowed set with the execution-wide one. When an execution has no stage universe at all (no jobs ever recorded against it, which is true for 42% of real-log SQL executions with a plan tree, typically job-less/driver-only executions), the clip drops every candidate stage ID instead of passing them through: every node in that execution&#39;s tree ends up with no <code>stageIds</code> anywhere, same &quot;coverage is partial&quot; framing as below. (An earlier version of this clip treated &quot;no stage universe&quot; as &quot;no clip,&quot; which let a foreign accumulator ID collision, e.g. the <code>ReusedSubquery</code> case above, leak another execution&#39;s stages into a job-less execution&#39;s nodes; the clip is now unconditional on <code>executionStageIds</code> being present.)</p><p>Coverage is partial by Spark&#39;s own design: whole-stage-codegen wrapper nodes (<code>InputAdapter</code>, and other purely structural passthrough markers) carry no accumulators at all, and <code>BroadcastExchangeExec</code>&#39;s own metrics are computed entirely on the driver and never appear on any <code>TaskEnd</code> (real Spark behavior). Since the Exchange write/read split, those driver-computed metrics live specifically on the synthesized <em>write</em> half (<code>exchangeRole: &#39;write&#39;</code>); the <em>read</em> half always carries <code>metrics: []</code>. The write half&#39;s immediate child, which does carry executor-side metrics, is unioned in instead, see <code>overBroadcast</code>&#39;s wiring. A <code>TaskEnd</code> arriving after its stage has already been finalized is also silently excluded from <code>taskAccumStages</code>, consistent with the parser&#39;s existing out-of-order tolerance elsewhere.</p><p><code>planTree</code> itself is kept current against Spark&#39;s adaptive query execution (AQE) re-plans: <code>SparkListenerSQLAdaptiveExecutionUpdate</code> events overwrite the execution&#39;s <code>sparkPlanInfo</code> last-write-wins, so accumulator-ID evidence is matched against the plan that actually ran rather than a stale pre-AQE snapshot. Since a superseded plan is never read, <code>dispatchLine</code> holds an open execution&#39;s latest update as unparsed text and parses only that one, when <code>SQLExecutionEnd</code> arrives or at parse completion (<code>deferAdaptiveUpdate</code>, <code>event-handlers.ts</code>). It recognizes an update from the flat first and last pieces <code>buildChunkDecoder</code> reports for a line joined across slices (<code>JoinedLine</code>), so a superseded update is never copied into one flat string either. The raw <code>sparkPlanInfo</code> stays worker-side and is released once <code>SQLExecutionEnd</code> resolves it into <code>planTree</code>; <code>physicalPlanDescription</code> (Spark&#39;s text rendering of the plan, which nothing reads) is emptied before <code>JSON.parse</code> and never retained (<code>stripPlanDescription</code>, <code>event-handlers.ts</code>). <code>buildChunkDecoder</code> decodes each decompressed chunk in slices of at most 512 KiB, and drops the bytes of a value that crosses a slice boundary without decoding them.</p><p>No eviction/pruning is added to <code>taskAccumStages</code>, a deliberate choice, not an oversight: measured on real logs, it holds roughly 1,050 keys per compressed MB (9,850 keys on an 11.6 MB fixture, about 29,000 keys on a 28.1 MB fixture). Extrapolated to a 240MB+ log, the scale this tool targets (see <code>CLAUDE.md</code>), that is roughly 250,000 keys, around 45 MB of heap for an equivalent synthetic <code>Map&lt;number, Set&lt;number&gt;&gt;</code>. This heap estimate is still small relative to this tool&#39;s other in-memory state. It is higher, though, than the fixture-only measurements taken when this mechanism was built suggested.</p><p>Per-execution pruning (e.g. dropping a <code>taskAccumStages</code> entry once its stage finalizes or its owning SQL execution resolves, mirroring how <code>accumState</code> is cleared in <code>endSqlExecution</code>) is deliberately not done either: unlike <code>accumState</code>, <code>taskAccumStages</code> is one global, un-scoped map read by every execution&#39;s <code>resolvePlanTree</code> call, and the <code>ReusedSubquery</code> case above depends on a stage recorded under one execution still being visible when a later execution resolves. Pruning on any single execution&#39;s lifecycle would break that cross-execution lookup. What is bounded is the growth from a single pathological event: <code>TaskEndEventSchema</code>&#39;s <code>Accumulables</code> array is capped at <code>MAX_ACCUMULABLES_PER_TASK</code> (10,000, <code>event-schemas.ts</code>), well above any real plan&#39;s per-task metric count, so a single crafted <code>TaskEnd</code> can&#39;t grow the map past that per-event bound; a <code>TaskEnd</code> exceeding it fails schema validation and the line is skipped (counted in <code>skippedLines</code>) like any other malformed event. Each accumulable is checked for its numeric <code>ID</code> only: <code>Update</code>/<code>Value</code> are unread, and Spark writes some as JSON arrays (<code>internal.metrics.updatedBlockStatuses</code>), which a stricter check would reject along with the whole task. When every entry has Spark&#39;s flat <code>{&quot;ID&quot;:n,...}</code> form, <code>parseTaskEnd</code> (<code>event-handlers.ts</code>) reads the IDs with a string scan and cuts the array out before <code>JSON.parse</code>; any other shape is parsed whole.</p><h2 id="bottleneck-thresholds-spec-§4" tabindex="-1">Bottleneck thresholds (spec §4) <a class="header-anchor" href="#bottleneck-thresholds-spec-§4" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Bottleneck thresholds (spec §4)&quot;">​</a></h2><p>Every change to <code>packages/core/src/detectors.ts</code> should reference this table.</p><p>Every finding&#39;s <code>impactBand</code> comes from one of two places. For any finding whose <code>impactEstimate</code> carries a <code>wallClock</code> estimate (the common case for most rules below), <code>analyzer.ts</code> calls <code>deriveImpactBand()</code> (<code>packages/core/src/impact-band.ts</code>) immediately after <code>estimateImpact()</code>, which sets <code>.impactBand</code> purely from <code>wallClock.high</code> as a fraction of the app&#39;s total duration (<code>&gt;= 2%</code> critical, <code>&gt;= 0.5%</code> warning, else info: the same <code>floorPctWarn</code>/<code>floorPctCrit</code> values <code>skew</code>/<code>straggler</code> use for their own thresholds below). For those rules, the table below documents their firing gate plus their fixed fallback constant, which surfaces only when this run&#39;s finding of that type didn&#39;t get a wallClock estimate (a stage excluded from the occupancy sweep). For rules whose finding type never gets a wallClock estimate (<code>resourceOnly</code>/<code>informational</code> basis, e.g. <code>configAudit</code>, or a rule that keeps its own ratio-tiered classification per the design&#39;s Decision 2, e.g. <code>failures</code>), the full threshold table below is the real, displayed classification: <code>detectors.ts</code> sets <code>impactBand</code> directly and nothing overwrites it. <code>partitionSizing</code>&#39;s <code>maxPartitionTooBig</code> rule is a third case: it does carry a <code>wallClock</code> estimate but is explicitly exempted in <code>deriveImpactBand()</code> because it&#39;s a hardcoded-critical OOM/crash-risk safety signal, not a time-recovery one, so <code>detectors.ts</code>&#39;s own classification stands regardless of how small that estimate is relative to the run.</p><h3 id="fixed-fallback-only-usually-wallclock-derived-instead" tabindex="-1">Fixed fallback only (usually wallClock-derived instead) <a class="header-anchor" href="#fixed-fallback-only-usually-wallclock-derived-instead" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Fixed fallback only (usually wallClock-derived instead)&quot;">​</a></h3><p>These rules&#39; <em>band</em> tiers were deleted from <code>packages/core/src/detectors.ts</code> (they were always overwritten by <code>deriveImpactBand</code> whenever a wallClock estimate was available); the constant in the last column is only a floor-case fallback.

Since <code>analyze()</code>&#39;s loop is detector-outer / stage-inner, every finding from a detector declared earlier in <code>DETECTORS</code> is already in <code>out</code> by the time a later detector runs, for every stage. That makes the pattern purely declaration-order-driven: the suppressing detector must be declared earlier in the <code>DETECTORS</code> array than the suppressed one.</p><p><code>stageSlowness</code> uses this to defer to <code>slowHost</code>. It is spliced immediately after the <code>slowHost</code> entry regardless of its <code>order</code> field (<code>order</code> only controls render sequencing, not evaluation order), and <code>tests/analyzer.test.js</code>&#39;s &quot;detector contract&quot; suite asserts the array-index ordering so a future reorder can&#39;t silently break the suppression. The mechanism is deliberately minimal: a same-array, predicate-in-<code>push()</code> filter, not a general dependency graph. <code>auditConfig()</code>&#39;s own <code>push()</code> call is unaffected, since <code>scope:&#39;config&#39;</code> entries declare no <code>suppressWhen</code>.</p><h2 id="per-operator-duration-attribution" tabindex="-1">Per-operator duration attribution <a class="header-anchor" href="#per-operator-duration-attribution" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Per-operator duration attribution&quot;">​</a></h2><p><code>packages/core/src/plan-duration-attribution.ts</code> (entry <code>attributeStageDurationToPlan(planTree, stagesById, sqlExec)</code>) approximates how a SQL execution&#39;s stage wall-time splits across plan operators, returning a <code>Map&lt;planNode, milliseconds&gt;</code>. It cuts the plan tree at Exchange boundaries into connected components: since the Exchange write/read split (<code>resolvePlanTree</code> in <code>event-handlers.ts</code> always synthesizes a <code>read</code> node wrapping a <code>write</code> node for every raw <code>Exchange</code>/<code>BroadcastExchange</code>), the cut is keyed off <code>PlanNode.exchangeRole === &#39;read&#39;</code> on the parent, not a name regex: the write half starts the new component, the read half stays in its parent&#39;s. A node with no <code>exchangeRole</code> at all (for example <code>ReusedExchange</code>, which is never split) never starts a new component on its own, unlike the old name-based regex, which matched any Exchange-family name regardless of split state. Each component receives a stable pre-order identity and separate parent/depth/traversal metadata; the identity itself does not encode its count of Exchange ancestors. It zips components deepest-first by that explicit depth against submission-ordered stage IDs, then apportions each matched stage&#39;s wall-time across that component&#39;s nodes by timing-metric weight, falling back to an even split when no node carries a timing metric.</p><p>This is best-effort inference, not measurement. Spark&#39;s event model exposes no ground truth for per-operator time within a stage; the Exchange-boundary segmentation and deepest-component-to-earliest-stage zip are heuristics. Treat the per-operator numbers as directional hints, never as authoritative timings, and do not build hard thresholds or findings on top of them.</p><h2 id="stage-id-attribution-for-plan-advisor-findings" tabindex="-1">Stage-ID attribution for Plan Advisor findings <a class="header-anchor" href="#stage-id-attribution-for-plan-advisor-findings" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Stage-ID attribution for Plan Advisor findings&quot;">​</a></h2><p>The Plan Advisor detectors (<code>duplicatePlanSubtree</code>, <code>smallFiles</code>, <code>broadcastSizing</code> in <code>packages/core/src/detectors.ts</code>) each attribute their finding to a narrowed <code>stageIds</code> set rather than the whole SQL execution: <code>PlanNode.stageIds</code> is resolved once per plan tree at parse time by unioning, per node, every metric&#39;s accumulator ID against a <code>taskAccumStages: Map&lt;accumulatorId, Set&lt;stageId&gt;&gt;</code> built while parsing <code>TaskEnd</code> events, then clipping the result to the execution&#39;s own stage set. An accumulator ID occasionally points to a <em>different</em> execution&#39;s stages, e.g. a <code>ReusedSubquery</code> computed once and reused verbatim, and the clip prevents misattributing that other execution&#39;s work. Each detector unions its implicated node(s)&#39; <code>stageIds</code> and falls back to the execution-wide set only when no implicated node has any coverage; a finding never partially blends a narrowed set with the execution-wide one. When an execution has no stage universe at all (no jobs ever recorded against it, which is true for 42% of real-log SQL executions with a plan tree, typically job-less/driver-only executions), the clip drops every candidate stage ID instead of passing them through: every node in that execution&#39;s tree ends up with no <code>stageIds</code> anywhere, same &quot;coverage is partial&quot; framing as below. (An earlier version of this clip treated &quot;no stage universe&quot; as &quot;no clip,&quot; which let a foreign accumulator ID collision, e.g. the <code>ReusedSubquery</code> case above, leak another execution&#39;s stages into a job-less execution&#39;s nodes; the clip is now unconditional on <code>executionStageIds</code> being present.)</p><p>Coverage is partial by Spark&#39;s own design: whole-stage-codegen wrapper nodes (<code>InputAdapter</code>, and other purely structural passthrough markers) carry no accumulators at all, and <code>BroadcastExchangeExec</code>&#39;s own metrics are computed entirely on the driver and never appear on any <code>TaskEnd</code> (real Spark behavior). Since the Exchange write/read split, those driver-computed metrics live specifically on the synthesized <em>write</em> half (<code>exchangeRole: &#39;write&#39;</code>); the <em>read</em> half always carries <code>metrics: []</code>. The write half&#39;s immediate child, which does carry executor-side metrics, is unioned in instead, see <code>overBroadcast</code>&#39;s wiring. A <code>TaskEnd</code> arriving after its stage has already been finalized is also silently excluded from <code>taskAccumStages</code>, consistent with the parser&#39;s existing out-of-order tolerance elsewhere.</p><p><code>planTree</code> itself is kept current against Spark&#39;s adaptive query execution (AQE) re-plans: <code>SparkListenerSQLAdaptiveExecutionUpdate</code> events overwrite the execution&#39;s <code>sparkPlanInfo</code> last-write-wins, so accumulator-ID evidence is matched against the plan that actually ran rather than a stale pre-AQE snapshot. Since a superseded plan is never read, <code>dispatchLine</code> holds an open execution&#39;s latest update as unparsed text and parses only that one, when <code>SQLExecutionEnd</code> arrives or at parse completion (<code>deferAdaptiveUpdate</code>, <code>event-handlers.ts</code>). It recognizes an update from the flat first and last pieces <code>buildChunkDecoder</code> reports for a line joined across slices (<code>JoinedLine</code>), so a superseded update is never copied into one flat string either. The raw <code>sparkPlanInfo</code> stays worker-side and is released once <code>SQLExecutionEnd</code> resolves it into <code>planTree</code>; <code>physicalPlanDescription</code> (Spark&#39;s text rendering of the plan, which nothing reads) is emptied before <code>JSON.parse</code> and never retained (<code>stripPlanDescription</code>, <code>event-handlers.ts</code>). <code>buildChunkDecoder</code> decodes each decompressed chunk in slices of at most 512 KiB, and drops the bytes of a value that crosses a slice boundary without decoding them.</p><p>No eviction/pruning is added to <code>taskAccumStages</code>, a deliberate choice, not an oversight: measured on real logs, it holds roughly 1,050 keys per compressed MB (9,850 keys on an 11.6 MB fixture, about 29,000 keys on a 28.1 MB fixture). Extrapolated to a 240MB+ log, the scale this tool targets (see <code>CLAUDE.md</code>), that is roughly 250,000 keys, around 45 MB of heap for an equivalent synthetic <code>Map&lt;number, Set&lt;number&gt;&gt;</code>. This heap estimate is still small relative to this tool&#39;s other in-memory state. It is higher, though, than the fixture-only measurements taken when this mechanism was built suggested.</p><p>Per-execution pruning (e.g. dropping a <code>taskAccumStages</code> entry once its stage finalizes or its owning SQL execution resolves, mirroring how <code>accumState</code> is cleared in <code>endSqlExecution</code>) is deliberately not done either: unlike <code>accumState</code>, <code>taskAccumStages</code> is one global, un-scoped map read by every execution&#39;s <code>resolvePlanTree</code> call, and the <code>ReusedSubquery</code> case above depends on a stage recorded under one execution still being visible when a later execution resolves. Pruning on any single execution&#39;s lifecycle would break that cross-execution lookup. What is bounded is the growth from a single pathological event: <code>TaskEndEventSchema</code>&#39;s <code>Accumulables</code> array is capped at <code>MAX_ACCUMULABLES_PER_TASK</code> (10,000, <code>event-schemas.ts</code>), well above any real plan&#39;s per-task metric count, so a single crafted <code>TaskEnd</code> can&#39;t grow the map past that per-event bound; a <code>TaskEnd</code> exceeding it fails schema validation and the line is skipped (counted in <code>skippedLines</code>) like any other malformed event. Each accumulable is checked for its numeric <code>ID</code> only: <code>Update</code>/<code>Value</code> are unread, and Spark writes some as JSON arrays (<code>internal.metrics.updatedBlockStatuses</code>), which a stricter check would reject along with the whole task. When every entry has Spark&#39;s flat <code>{&quot;ID&quot;:n,...}</code> form, <code>parseTaskEnd</code> (<code>event-handlers.ts</code>) reads the IDs with a string scan and cuts the array out before <code>JSON.parse</code>; any other shape is parsed whole.</p><h2 id="bottleneck-thresholds-spec-§4" tabindex="-1">Bottleneck thresholds (spec §4) <a class="header-anchor" href="#bottleneck-thresholds-spec-§4" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Bottleneck thresholds (spec §4)&quot;">​</a></h2><p>Every change to <code>packages/core/src/detectors.ts</code> should reference this table.</p><p>Every finding&#39;s <code>impactBand</code> comes from one of two places. For any finding whose <code>impactEstimate</code> carries a <code>wallClock</code> estimate (the common case for most rules below), <code>analyzer.ts</code> calls <code>deriveImpactBand()</code> (<code>packages/core/src/impact-band.ts</code>) immediately after <code>estimateImpact()</code>, which sets <code>.impactBand</code> purely from <code>wallClock.high</code> as a fraction of the app&#39;s total duration (<code>&gt;= 2%</code> critical, <code>&gt;= 0.5%</code> warning, else info: the same <code>floorPctWarn</code>/<code>floorPctCrit</code> values <code>skew</code>/<code>straggler</code> use for their own thresholds below). For those rules, the table below documents their firing gate plus their fixed fallback constant, which surfaces only when this run&#39;s finding of that type didn&#39;t get a wallClock estimate (a stage excluded from the occupancy sweep). For rules whose finding type never gets a wallClock estimate (<code>resourceOnly</code>/<code>informational</code> basis, e.g. <code>configAudit</code>, or a rule that keeps its own ratio-tiered classification per the design&#39;s Decision 2, e.g. <code>failures</code>), the full threshold table below is the real, displayed classification: <code>detectors.ts</code> sets <code>impactBand</code> directly and nothing overwrites it. <code>partitionSizing</code>&#39;s <code>maxPartitionTooBig</code> rule is a third case: it does carry a <code>wallClock</code> estimate but is explicitly exempted in <code>deriveImpactBand()</code> because it&#39;s a hardcoded-critical OOM/crash-risk safety signal, not a time-recovery one, so <code>detectors.ts</code>&#39;s own classification stands regardless of how small that estimate is relative to the run.</p><h3 id="fixed-fallback-only-usually-wallclock-derived-instead" tabindex="-1">Fixed fallback only (usually wallClock-derived instead) <a class="header-anchor" href="#fixed-fallback-only-usually-wallclock-derived-instead" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Fixed fallback only (usually wallClock-derived instead)&quot;">​</a></h3><p>These rules&#39; <em>band</em> tiers were deleted from <code>packages/core/src/detectors.ts</code> (they were always overwritten by <code>deriveImpactBand</code> whenever a wallClock estimate was available); the constant in the last column is only a floor-case fallback.

Summing a stage&#39;s share across its own window gives its <code>occupancy(S)</code>; <code>gate(S) = occupancy(S) / duration(S) ∈ [0, 1]</code> is the single number that replaces the old CPM model&#39;s <code>onCriticalPath</code>/<code>slackMs</code>/<code>isUniquelyCritical</code>. 1.0 means the stage ran completely alone; 0 means the stage had zero <code>executorRunTime</code> while overlapping other, positive-weight stages, so it got no share of the shared window. Stages with <code>duration(S) &lt;= 0</code> (Spark-skipped stages, or a malformed <code>submittedAt === completedAt</code>) are excluded from the sweep entirely.</p><p>This mechanism replaced a CPM (critical-path-method) graph over <code>parentIds</code> that produced near-zero on-critical-path membership on real logs (0.1-10.6% of stages, max graph depth 2 on 5 of 6 real logs measured): <code>parentIds</code> alone is too sparse a precedence signal for a meaningful longest-path computation. The same degeneracy fed <code>efficiency-model.ts</code>&#39;s <code>floorInfiniteMs</code> (&quot;floor with infinite executors&quot;); rather than leave a second, unreconciled critical-path number in the codebase for a future UI to display next to the occupancy-based figures above, <code>criticalPathMs()</code>/<code>CriticalPathStage</code> (embedded in <code>efficiency-model.ts</code>, never a standalone module) were removed outright (no occupancy-based replacement: occupancy apportions observed concurrent time, it doesn&#39;t compute a dependency-graph longest path, so there&#39;s no drop-in equivalent). <code>efficiency-model.ts</code> now reports only <code>floorZeroSkewMs</code> (total task time / total cores) as its theoretical floor.</p><p><code>ceiling(S) = max(stage.taskDurationMax, stage.executorRunTime / totalCores)</code> is a physical floor on a stage&#39;s own duration: bounded below by its single longest task (unsplittable no matter how much parallelism exists) or by its core-work spread across every core in the cluster, whichever is larger. Every waste formula&#39;s raw claim is clipped against it before gate-weighting: <code>wasteMs_clipped(S) = min(wasteMs_claimed, max(0, duration(S) - ceiling(S)))</code>, so a finding can never claim to save more than the portion of the stage&#39;s observed duration that sits above its own unbeatable floor. This is what fixes historical overclaim bugs (a <code>tinyTask</code> finding claiming 407.5s on a 13.1s stage capped to 8.9s; a <code>shuffle</code> finding claiming 1939.9s on a 991.3s/1688.3s stage capped to 610.3s/250.1s).</p><p><code>skew</code> and <code>straggler</code> are the exception (<code>estimateSingleStage</code>&#39;s <code>shortensLongestTask</code> option, passed by both their <code>impact-estimator.ts</code> cases and <code>detectors.ts</code>&#39;s <code>clippedWasteMs</code> runtime-floor gate, so firing and display agree; <code>stageSlowness</code>&#39;s more-partitions estimate passes it too, since splitting partitions splits the longest task). Their claim shortens the stage&#39;s longest task itself, so <code>taskDurationMax</code> can&#39;t be their floor: clipping against it capped a stage gated by one straggler at <code>duration(S) − taskDurationMax</code>, about zero, exactly when the fix recovers the most. Their floor is instead the longest task the fix leaves plus the core work the fix leaves, <code>max(taskDurationMax − wasteMs_claimed, longestTaskAfterFixMs, (stage.executorRunTime − removed) / totalCores)</code>, where <code>removed</code> (<code>tailRemovedWorkMs</code>) is the larger of the longest task&#39;s excess over P50 and <code>stragglerExcessMs</code>, and <code>longestTaskAfterFixMs</code> is the longest task the fix leaves for <code>skew</code> and <code>straggler</code> (see below). Counting the stragglers&#39; own run time as work the stage can&#39;t shed floored a stage whose tail is most of its core time near its observed duration: one real stage claimed 5.9s where the replay below recovers 38.7s, and now claims 38.7s. Scored against a list-scheduling replay of each flagged stage&#39;s own tasks (slots = the stage&#39;s observed peak concurrent tasks; recoverable = replay with actual durations minus replay with every task over 4× P50 capped at P50), across 765 skew/straggler findings on 14 real logs (2026-09-23, <code>dev/bench-analyze.mjs</code> snapshots): estimates more than 2× under the replay dropped from 199 to 11, estimates within 2× rose from 556 to 738, mean absolute error fell from 6.64s to 5.59s. Overclaims by more than 2× went from 10 to 16: stages where AQE or free slots absorbed the tail, which a stage-level model can&#39;t see.</p><p>The claim itself is <code>tailRecoveryMs</code> (<code>occupancy.ts</code>), which returns the stage&#39;s <code>tailReplayRecoveryMs</code>: <code>finalizeStage</code> replays the stage&#39;s own tasks with list scheduling (<code>computeTailReplayRecoveryMs</code> in <code>stage-quantiles.ts</code>: slots = <code>peakConcurrentTasks</code>, at least 1 and at most the task count; tasks in launch order, equal launch times in task-array order, each on the slot that frees first) once with the real durations and once with every task over 4× P50 capped at P50, and takes the difference. It runs only on stages with a task over 4× P50 (every other stage recovers 0) and costs a launch-order index and a slot heap per stage: 5-9 ms over the 236 such stages (23,641 tasks) of the largest real log, whose parse takes 5.5-6.9 s. <code>dev/eval-tail-replay.mjs</code> keeps an independent copy of the replay as its ground truth, and the two agree on all 919 tail stages of the 14 real logs and the corpus.</p><p>A stage without the field (one built by hand, as in detector tests) falls back to the estimate the replay replaced: the larger of the single-task delta above and <code>stragglerExcessMs / peakConcurrentTasks</code>, the summed excess over P50 of every task slower than 4× P50, spread over the most tasks the stage ever ran at once. That estimate assumed the tail either gates the stage through one task or spreads evenly over the slots; the replay knows when each slow task launched. Stragglers clustered at the end of a stage recover more than the even spread (one real stage: 12 of 200 tasks over 4× P50 on 29 slots, 89.0s estimated, 127.3s replayed), a long task launched early overlaps the rest of the stage and recovers less than its excess (8.4s estimated, 3.0s replayed), and a speculation-driven stage with no task over 4× P50 recovers nothing (5.8s estimated on two real stages). Moving to the replay, on the 14 real logs: 4 skew/straggler findings added, 2 removed (a skew estimate of 29.3s on a stage whose replay recovers 5.3s, and one whose 15.4s replay falls just under the 0.5% floor), 3 moved from warning to info (the two speculation-driven stages, and the straggler finding on that 15.4s stage) and 2 from warning to critical (one stage whose clustered tail replays at 82.7s where the estimate said 51.3s). No corpus finding is added, removed or re-banded. Scored over 65 runs (14 real logs plus the corpus), against the replay skew precision goes 0.96 → 1.00 at recall 0.81 → 0.85 and straggler 0.94 → 1.00 at recall 0.74 → 0.76. Every non-info estimate now sits within 2× of the replay (98 of 101 before), since the post-fix floors below never clip the replayed figure on these logs.</p><p>The single-task deltas still set the removed work above and the fallback estimate. <code>straggler</code>&#39;s runs from <code>taskDurationMax</code> down to the longest task its fix leaves (<code>stragglerFixLongestTaskMs</code>), not down to P50: the fix brings every task over 4× P50 to the median, so the stage still waits on its longest task at or under that (<code>longestNonStragglerMs</code>, from <code>finalizeStage</code>), and that task is also passed as a floor (<code>longestTaskAfterFixMs</code>). A speculation-driven finding with no task over 4× P50 keeps the P50 delta. <code>skew</code> keeps its P50 delta, since repartitioning may even out tasks under 4× P50 too, but takes the same <code>longestTaskAfterFixMs</code> floor: without it a 100 s stage whose next-longest task ran 39 s had skew claiming 90 s where straggler claimed 61 s. Scored the same way over the 65 runs: more than 2× over 6 → 4, mean absolute error 5.18s → 4.49s, straggler precision 0.92 → 0.94 at recall 0.76 → 0.74 (one stage at 0.61% of the run now estimates under the 0.5% floor, one below it no longer fires). The skew floor, scored the same way: within 2× 97 → 98 of 101, more than 2× over 4 → 3, mean absolute error 4.49s → 4.12s, precision and recall unchanged.</p><p><code>analyzer.ts</code> feeds this <code>totalCores</code> from <code>src/core-count.ts</code>&#39;s <code>computePeakConcurrentCores(app, executorsAdded, executorsRemoved)</code>, not the shared <code>computeTotalCores</code> helper. <code>computeTotalCores</code> sums every <code>ExecutorAdded</code> event&#39;s cores regardless of overlap, so under dynamic allocation or executor replacement it can far exceed the cores ever actually concurrent, which understates <code>ceiling(S)</code> and lets churn inflate a finding&#39;s claimed wall-clock. <code>computePeakConcurrentCores</code> instead sweeps add/remove events by timestamp and tracks the running total&#39;s peak, so a churned-through executor&#39;s cores are never double-counted against its replacement&#39;s. Same-timestamp events tie-break by delta ascending, so a removal applies before a same-instant replacement&#39;s addition (otherwise a same-instant swap would momentarily double-count both as concurrent). If every <code>executorsAdded</code> entry lacks <code>totalCores</code> the cores sweep peaks at zero and tells us nothing; the function then falls back to sweeping peak <em>executor count</em> instead (still concurrency-aware, just cores-blind) and multiplies by the configured per-executor core count, rather than falling back to <code>executorsAdded.length × cores</code>, which would reintroduce the exact cumulative-overcount-under-churn bug this function exists to avoid.</p><p>Per-finding estimate, using <code>wasteMs_clipped(S)</code>:</p><ul><li><code>gate(S) &gt;= 0.999</code>: <code>basis: &#39;serial&#39;</code>, <code>low = high = wasteMs_clipped(S)</code>.</li><li><code>gate(S) &lt; 0.999</code>: <code>basis: &#39;contended&#39;</code>, <code>high = wasteMs_clipped(S)</code>, <code>low = wasteMs_clipped(S) * gate(S)</code>.</li></ul><p>A finding spanning multiple stages (<code>stageIds</code>, plural) sums each stage&#39;s own estimate and caps the joint total at the union of just that finding&#39;s own stage windows (via <code>mergeIntervals</code>, <code>src/wall-clock.ts</code>): <code>high = min(Σ high_i, unionMs(stageIds))</code>, <code>low = min(Σ low_i, unionMs(stageIds))</code>. This is what prevents overclaiming when two or more of a finding&#39;s stages overlap in wall-clock time: a plain sum-and-cap, no CPM re-simulation. The union cap can force <code>low === high</code> numerically even when the constituent stages were individually contended (e.g. two fully-overlapping stages each at <code>gate</code> 0.5), so <code>basis</code> isn&#39;t derived from that numeric equality: a multi-stage finding gets <code>basis: &#39;serial&#39;</code> only when every one of its per-stage estimates was itself <code>&#39;serial&#39;</code>; otherwise <code>&#39;contended&#39;</code>.</p><p>Regression guard: a finding whose stage (or, for a multi-stage finding, every one of its stages) ran alone (<code>gate &gt;= 0.95</code>, deliberately looser than the <code>0.999</code> &quot;serial&quot; cutoff above: this guard exists to catch egregious false zeros, not to gate which <code>basis</code> a finding gets) with a real underlying magnitude (<code>rawWaste.value &gt; 0</code>) must never report <code>wallClock.high === 0</code> or <code>basis: &#39;informational&#39;/&#39;resourceOnly&#39;</code>.

Both are clipped with the post-fix floor described under <a href="#occupancy-weighted-attribution">Occupancy-weighted attribution</a>, not the plain <code>ceiling</code>, so a stage gated by one dominant outlier task reports that task&#39;s excess as recoverable instead of the near-zero room <code>ceiling &gt;= taskDurationMax</code> would leave.</p><p><code>analyzer.ts</code>&#39;s <code>flagSkewStragglerOverlap</code> (run after <code>deriveImpactBand</code>, once per <code>analyze()</code> call) surfaces this caveat to the reader instead of leaving it as an internal-only comment: whenever <code>skew</code>&#39;s <code>max/median</code> branch and <code>straggler</code> both fire on the same <code>stageId</code>, it appends a &quot;this overlaps with the X finding on this stage&quot; sentence to both findings&#39; <code>validationRequired</code> text (rather than suppressing either, so neither finding&#39;s own diagnostic value is lost). <code>skew</code>&#39;s <code>P95/median</code> branch samples a different task from <code>straggler</code>&#39;s own <code>taskDurationMax - taskDurationP50</code> delta, so it&#39;s excluded from the flag. The note rides the same confidence-caveat UI (<code>RowStatusCluster</code>) a reader already sees before trusting either finding&#39;s magnitude, since both detectors also carry a <code>confidence</code> field that scales <code>low</code>/<code>medium</code>/<code>high</code> off how far the finding sits past its own runtime-floor threshold (still unvalidated; see the confidence-disclosure note in detector-contract.md).</p><p><code>stageShape</code>&#39;s <code>taskStageSkew</code> rule no longer participates in this caveat: it reports a <code>resourceOnly</code> idle-core-ms figure (see the coverage table below) instead of a wall-clock claim, so there&#39;s nothing left to double-count against <code>skew</code>/<code>straggler</code>. Its trigger condition (<code>taskDurationMax / stageDurationMs &gt; skewWarn</code>) mathematically forces the occupancy-clipped wall-clock estimate to exactly zero on every firing (see <code>src/detectors.ts</code>&#39;s <code>taskStageSkew</code> comment), which is why it was moved off the wall-clock path entirely rather than reconciled against the same ceiling clip as its two siblings above.</p><h2 id="per-finding-type-coverage" tabindex="-1">Per-finding-type coverage <a class="header-anchor" href="#per-finding-type-coverage" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Per-finding-type coverage&quot;">​</a></h2><p>One row per distinct <code>type</code> string <code>src/detectors.ts</code> actually emits (cross-checked against <code>computeEstimateForFinding</code>&#39;s <code>case</code> labels in <code>src/impact-estimator.ts</code>, not assumed from the prose here): every row below has a case, so the table itself is the coverage count, not a number restated here. <code>broadcastSizing</code> is a <code>DETECTORS</code> entry label only, and the plan-walk it drives emits <code>overBroadcast</code>/<code>underBroadcast</code> findings instead, so those two are the rows that appear, not <code>broadcastSizing</code> itself.

A stage shared with other operators (the consuming join, the other join side) contributes only its share, so sibling groups can&#39;t claim one stage twice, and a stage left waiting for cores (2491 s open, 60 s of tasks on a real log) claims only its task time.

A stage that already ran at least as many tasks as the cluster had cores claims 0, and so does one that read no input and no shuffle bytes and whose tasks spent under 1% of <code>executorRunTime</code> on CPU (<code>executorCpuTime</code>): they sat waiting on something outside Spark, which more partitions don&#39;t split (a 1-task JDBC <code>count</code> stage open 27 minutes on 5s of CPU, 0.33%, had claimed 99%). On 14 real logs (2026-09-23) every non-Python stage under 1% was a JDBC read, a file listing or a Delta log read, and file writes start at 2%. The share is skipped, keeping the claim, when the log records no CPU time (older Spark) or the stage ran Python through <code>PythonRDD</code>, whose worker CPU the JVM metric misses (0.1% on computing stages); a Python UDF inside a SQL stage that reads no bytes isn&#39;t detected and can still read idle. A stage that read input or shuffle bytes keeps its claim whatever its CPU share, so a Python UDF over real input is never zeroed. This narrowed a gate that zeroed any stage reading no input and no shuffle bytes, which also zeroed stages computing from generated data or only writing output: over every stage of the 14 real logs, run through the estimate as if each had fired, 636 stages regain 521 s and none lose; the 35 findings those logs raise are unchanged.

Both the dropped-file path and the SHS-fetch path stream block-by-block (fflate <code>Gunzip</code> / fzstd <code>Decompress</code> / the LZ4Block decoder / the Snappy block decoder) to keep one decompressed chunk live at a time. In the browser, a dropped zstd file decompresses in a second worker while the parse worker parses earlier output, with a three-slice window bounding what is queued between them (see <a href="./worker-protocol.html#decompress-worker">Decompress worker</a>). The Node CLI/MCP paths (<code>collectRun</code> for local files, <code>shs-load.ts</code> for SHS archives) swap fzstd for Node&#39;s native zlib zstd where the running Node has it (22.15+/23.8+), through the <code>zstdDecoder</code> option of <code>runParse</code>/<code>decodeShsArchive</code>: <code>packages/core/src/cli/native-zstd.ts</code> decompresses one frame at a time, since Node&#39;s own decoders stop after a stream&#39;s first frame and Spark writes thousands of small ones. A frame declaring more than 64 MiB of content, one still incomplete after 64 MiB compressed, a malformed one, or a truncated tail goes to fzstd instead. Spark&#39;s frames declare no content size, so each one&#39;s output is capped at 64 MiB as it decodes: past that, the inline decoder hands the frame to fzstd and the threaded one streams it, pausing while 64 MiB wait to be parsed. On the real logs this made parsing 42% faster. For local files (<code>nodeParseCodecs</code>, <code>createThreadedZstdDecoder</code>), frames of 64 KB or more compressed decompress on libuv&#39;s threadpool, up to 4 at a time, while the main thread parses earlier output; <code>streamFile</code> awaits each <code>push</code>, and chunks still arrive in stream order. That took another 24% off the largest real log (4.2s to 3.2s) for 139 MB more peak RSS. <code>decodeShsArchive</code> decodes each archive entry in one synchronous call, so SHS archives keep the inline decoder (<code>nodeArchiveCodecs</code>).</p><p>The SHS-fetch path does buffer the downloaded zip whole for <code>unzipSync</code>. But one-shotting the decompression of a single entry (fzstd&#39;s <code>decompress()</code>, fflate&#39;s <code>gunzipSync()</code>) would allocate that entry&#39;s full declared content size as one ArrayBuffer, which fails outright for a multi-GB event log. So <code>decodeEntry(name, raw, onChunk)</code> picks the codec&#39;s streaming decoder per entry and invokes <code>onChunk</code> per decompressed piece. Decompressors are vendored under <code>src/vendor/</code> (<code>fflate.js</code>, <code>fzstd.js</code>) plus <code>src/lz4-block.ts</code> and <code>src/snappy-block.ts</code>.</p><p>Rolling <code>eventlog_v2_*</code> directories (Spark&#39;s multi-file event-log format, <code>events_&lt;index&gt;_&lt;appId&gt;(.codec)</code> files plus a zero-byte <code>appstatus_*</code> completion marker and, periodically, one <code>*.compact</code> merge file) are reassembled into parse order by <code>reassembleRollingEntries(names)</code>: drop the marker, drop every non-compact <code>events_*</code> file at or below the most recent <code>.compact</code> file&#39;s index, sort the rest numerically. Both the SHS-zip fetch path (<code>runParseFromUrl</code>) and the local folder-drop path (<code>runParseFiles</code>) call this one function.</p><p><code>runParseFiles</code> streams each file in the resulting order through the same chunked codec dispatch as <code>runParse</code>, with a fresh decompressor per file, since codecs never span a roll boundary.
