Milestone 422 step 7 — the one sweep in this milestone that decides rather
than obeys, so it is off until a lane is opted in, bounded by the operator's
cap, floored at the operator's value, and it reports every decision including
the ones where it did nothing.

Growth needs BOTH halves: all slots busy AND a backlog. Depth alone means
celery is about to pick those up and growing would add idle children (#1253
is that bug in the GPU agent); saturation alone means the lane is busy with
exactly as much work as exists. The backlog is depth PLUS reserved, because
celery prefetches and LLEN reads 0 while a worker holds thirty tasks in
memory — the case an LLEN-only autoscaler misses entirely, and the reason
step 2 plumbed `reserved` through.

The two sweeps had to be taught not to fight. The reconcile drives every
lane to its stored slots every five minutes, which would have reverted each
grow on the next tick: grow, revert, grow, revert, forever. For an
autoscaling lane the stored value is now a FLOOR — restored when a lane
falls below it, never taken back above it.

The operator's "a task that runs for x concurrent time" idea stays a UI
warning rather than a trigger: a long task does not finish sooner because
the lane gained a slot, so scaling on it would spend memory to change
nothing. Read from `task_run` on our own wall clock, not celery's
`time_start`, which is the WORKER's monotonic clock and would produce a
duration that is meaningless in the direction that matters — plausible.

Caught while reading it back: the first version read the stored slots as the
CURRENT pool. The autoscaler never writes that row, so every tick would have
proposed floor+1 — resizing nothing, reporting `grew` anyway (a replica
already past the target is issued no message and reports success), and
capping the lane one slot above its floor forever while claiming otherwise.
It now reads the live pool and keeps the stored value purely as the floor,
and the tests fix the two to different numbers so an equal-fixture pass
cannot hide it again.

Operator, 2026-09-22: "since the ml-worker is optional it should be shown as
such in the UI and have a warning about what it does and that it pulls the
models and what models and their projected size and ram requirements to run."

The card previously said "a few GB, once" — a number sourced from nothing,
which is exactly the hand-wave I had flagged in this step's own survey log as
something that should be measured rather than asserted.

ONE FACT CORRECTED WHILE WRITING THE COPY. I had named the lane "ML tagging".
It downloads an EMBEDDER: google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384. WD14 tagging is
the GPU agent's job — celery_app.py:5 still names both, but that has been
stale since B3 (#1238), when the agent took over and this lane was left as
the CPU embed fallback for stacks running no agent (see
MLSettings.cpu_embed_enabled). Telling someone the lane "does tagging" would
have been wrong in exactly the way this request exists to prevent.

The facts are structured data on the lane, not prose in a component:
ModelRequirement(repo, approx_download_bytes, approx_resident_bytes,
measured). The API carries them; the card renders them. Numbers come from the
system, wording from the UI.

ML_BYTES_PER_SLOT IS NOW DERIVED from that requirement rather than stated
separately. They have to be one number: the figure quoted to the operator
before they enable the lane and the figure the cap enforces. Two copies could
disagree, and the UI would promise a slot the cap then refuses.

`measured=False` travels with the numbers and the card renders "about". They
are estimates from the checkpoint's parameter count and dtype — ~877M params
at fp32 is ~3.5GB of weights — not from a build. This decides whether
someone's server survives, so it is labelled rather than rounded into
something that reads like a fact. A test asserts the flag is false, to be
flipped in the same commit that records a real measurement.

The card now shows: an "optional" chip in the row itself (someone scanning
the table should not have to enable a lane to learn it was never required),
and before the switch, what the lane does, that you only need it if you are
NOT running the GPU agent, the repo id, the download size, the per-slot RAM,
and why the ceiling is what it is — including saying plainly when a box has
too little memory to run it at all.

Keyed on the lane's own `optional` flag, not on the name 'ml', so a second
optional lane gets the same treatment without anyone remembering to add it.
A test asserts no REQUIRED lane declares a model: if one ever needs a
download, it stops being required.

Milestone 422 step 5. `docker compose -f docker-compose.single.yml up -d`
gives three containers — FabledCurator, Postgres, Redis — where the stack
previously needed seven.

THE MULTI-SERVICE STACK IS KEPT. docker-compose.yml still runs the five app
services separately and remains the right shape for a Swarm deployment spread
across hosts, where per-service rolling rollback and placement constraints
matter. This adds a compose file; it deletes none.

`entrypoint.sh all` GENERATES the supervisord config from worker_lanes.LANES
and execs it as PID 1. Generated rather than checked in because a static
.conf would spell out each lane's -Q list, making a FIFTH hand-kept copy of
the queue names — after celery_app.task_routes and the three collapsed in
steps 1, 2 and 4. Every one of those had already drifted when found.
Generating gives a stronger guarantee than "they match today": a lane added
to LANES gets a process, and a queue cannot end up with no consumer because
someone missed a file.

supervisord over s6-overlay: one pip dependency on an image already Python,
with per-program stop timeouts and stopasgroup. The process-group part is not
a detail — celery's prefork pool forks children, and a TERM reaching only the
parent leaves them orphaned holding tasks. s6's advantage (PID-1 signal and
zombie handling) comes from `init: true` instead. Nothing in FC talks to the
supervisor, so the choice is reversible without touching product code.

FOUR LANES, NOT FIVE. The ml lane is skipped: torch and the ML requirements
live only in Dockerfile.ml until step 6 merges the images, so an `ml` program
here would fail to import on every restart forever. `--with-ml` is the flag
step 6 turns on.

THREE BUGS FOUND BY READING IT BACK, none of which the first tests caught:

1. `environment=CELERY_QUEUES=default,import,thumbnail,download` — supervisord
   parses that key as a COMMA-separated list, so it reads as
   CELERY_QUEUES=default plus three malformed entries and the worker lane
   would have consumed only `default`. Silent: the worker starts, reports
   healthy, never picks up an import. Now quoted, and the test asserts the
   quoted form rather than the bare substring, which passed either way.

2. The generator emitted `entrypoint.sh <lane.name>`, but `maintenance_long`
   is not a role — compose runs it as the plain `worker` role with different
   queues. Lane now carries `entrypoint_role`, and a test reads entrypoint.sh
   to assert every role a lane names actually exists.

3. The `scheduler` role hardcoded --concurrency=1, ignoring CELERY_CONCURRENCY.
   Harmless while only compose started it and set none; with a generated value
   being passed, the lane would have sat at 1 until the reconcile noticed,
   with nothing saying why.

The healthcheck asserts BOTH halves — hypercorn answers and every configured
lane is answering the broker. That is the failure mode consolidation creates:
docker can no longer see the lanes as separate services, so a web-only check
would report a healthy container with every lane inside it dead. It
deliberately ignores the `enabled` flag: a disabled lane still has a running
process with its consumers cancelled, and marking the container unhealthy for
turning tagging off would be wrong.

stop_grace_period 200s, sized to the slowest lane (maintenance_long at 180s)
rather than the average, with a test asserting no program's stopwaitsecs can
exceed what compose allows.

Milestone 422 step 1. The data model the rest of the milestone reads. No
behaviour change: nothing consumes these rows yet, and every lane still boots
at its CELERY_CONCURRENCY env value.

Three numbers, not two, per the operator's distinction — the derived value is
a cap ON the cap:

    slots  <=  slots_cap  <=  derived_ceiling
    (live)     (operator)     (computed)

They can always lower their own cap; they cannot raise it past what the
container can hold. The ceiling is never stored, so a row written on a 32GB
host and later run in a 4GB container is bounded by the 4GB.

`services/worker_lanes.py` is the one place that knows the lane set.
`models/worker_lane.py` holds only what an operator may change.

Two deviations from the step as written, both deliberate:

QUEUES ARE NOT A COLUMN. The step body said the row carries its `-Q` list,
but a lane's queues are decided by celery_app's task_routes, not by
preference — an operator cannot move a backup off maintenance_long. Storing
them would create a row that can contradict the routing table, with nothing
to notice until a queue had no consumer. So queues are code, slots are data.
`test_every_routed_queue_has_a_lane_that_serves_it` reads the real routing
table and fails if a route is ever added without a lane.

ROLE_NAMES IS NOW DERIVED, not left alone. It was a hand-kept second copy of
"queue set -> display name" and had already drifted: maintenance_long is a
live lane with four task routes and a dedicated worker in the operator's
stack, and the roster did not know its name — so the System tab labelled it
`Worker (maintenance_long)`. Adding a lane table beside it would have made
three copies.

The ceiling honours cgroup limits rather than the host's. `os.cpu_count()`
reports the HOST's cores from inside a container, so a 4-core quota on a
32-core host would otherwise offer 32 slots — and the operator's own stack
sets `cpus: '4.0'` on ml-worker, so that is real configuration, not a
hypothetical. Memory reads cgroup v2 then v1, and recognises v1's
PAGE_SIZE-aligned LONG_MAX sentinel by magnitude rather than treating it as
petabytes.

Every uncertain case fails LOW. An unreadable limit yields UNKNOWN_CEILING,
never unlimited — not knowing how much memory there is must not read as
plenty. A box too small to hold one model beside the web process gets an ML
ceiling of 0 rather than a floor of 1: offering a slot that OOMs the
container the first time it is used is exactly what this exists to prevent.

ML_BYTES_PER_SLOT is 4 GiB and is UNMEASURED — flagged as such in the code,
with the method for replacing it with a real figure. It decides whether a
stranger's server survives enabling tagging, so it errs toward refusing a
slot that would have fitted.

Seeded one-of-each with ml at 0 and disabled (alembic 0103). ML off is step
6's requirement arriving early: enabling the lane is what triggers the SigLIP
download, and rule 164 permits a runtime fetch only for a feature that is
optional and clearly off. The seed values are literals rather than an import
of LANES — a migration is a statement about one moment, and importing the
live defaults would silently change what this revision does on a fresh
database in 2027.
