Adds coverage.go's declared-KeepLast check (no_data_state/exec_err_state, not just an observed reason) and closes remaining §22 gaps: newly_bad's no-early-exit clock assertion, a recorder-mode gap after deploy, a rule's own coverage gap overriding its recovery, a genuinely skew-discriminating staleness test, exit-2 consequences on two Reason-only coverage tests, and end-to-end checks for log-name collapse, a truncated log, and the watch-written state histogram.

Review focus: coverage.go KeepLast declaration check and the new skew/staleness tests in coverage_test.go.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new “DECLARED KeepLast” note in proveCoverage can report post-window configuration (re-resolved defs) in log/recorder mode rather than the recorded header snapshot, which can mislead operators.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR extends the Grafana alert gate’s coverage/verification layer to close remaining “phase 11 / §22” gaps, with a particular focus on KeepLast handling and more discriminating skew/staleness regressions.

Changes:

  • Add a new “DECLARED KeepLast” note in proveCoverage when a rule’s no_data_state/exec_err_state is configured as KeepLast, in addition to the existing “OBSERVED KeepLast” note from instance reasons.
  • Expand end-to-end and boundary coverage in tests (log writing histogram, real fixture for:1w propagation, duplicate-name collapse, optional state fields, recorder-mode failure modes, skew/staleness regressions).
  • Strengthen exit-2 consequence assertions for “reason-only” unobservable coverage cases.
File summaries
File Description
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/watch_test.go Asserts watch writes the per-poll state histogram in real prepareWatch/Reducer flow.
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/source_test.go Adds a skew/staleness regression test intended to pin Date-header clock domain usage.
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/schedule_test.go Adds fixture-driven tests ensuring real for:1w affects derived timings and warnings end-to-end.
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/resolve_test.go Adds a literal identical-duplicate-name collapse test case.
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/parse_state_test.go Adds minimal-body helpers and tests pinning optional parsing (keepFiringFor, instance labels).
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/coverage.go Adds “DECLARED KeepLast” note logic alongside existing “OBSERVED KeepLast” handling.
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/coverage_test.go Adds consequence checks for unobservable reasons and splits KeepLast tests into observed vs configured cases.
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/classify_test.go Adds additional boundary/override tests for recovery timing, flapping timing table, and coverage-gap precedence.
grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/check_test.go Adds end-to-end tests around duplicate-name collapse notes, recorder-mode gaps, missing sentinel, and truncated logs.

* chore: implement phase 9

Invariant defended: H5/H7. The one question: can check report a pass
over a window it did not prove?

Check() is the I/O shell around the pure decide(). Single-step
synthesizes the header and its own sentinel, so no mode flag reaches
the pure layer. Log mode stops the recorder before the one full read.

The header, not a definition re-resolved after the window closed, is
the authority for what was paused when the window opened — it decides
`skipped`, the drain set, and the transitionGrace max. The flock, not
the pidfile, is the authority for whether a writer still exists.

Invariant defended: H3. The one question: can a rule be called alive
because it looked alive one poll ago?

proveCoverage (grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/coverage.go) is the pure
coverage function: nine checks over one rule's polls — sentinel,
from-bounds, heartbeat continuity, health error/nodata, liveness,
in-window pause, rule absence, KeepLast. Liveness is absolute, never a
delta. Cross-domain comparisons translate by each poll's own skew and
widen boundary segments by its skew bound, fail-closed.

Invariant defended: H2. The one question: can watch return success over a
window that nothing is recording?

Watch() records the first observation of each non-skipped rule, then detaches
a child that polls at the cadence in the header. The parent returns only after
the child reports ready on an inherited pipe, and writes the pidfile after
that. A clean stop writes the sentinel; a hard error does not.

Add per-rule poll timings, scheduler, and budget check (P4).

Add the JSONL evidence log (P5).

  §3.2 verification, append-only Writer with flock, ReadLog
- flock_unix.go: non-blocking exclusive lock, unix only
- schedule.go: DeriveTimingsFromLog — log-mode cadence comes from the
  header, never from the definitions

Invariant defended: H2. The one question: can watch return success over a
window that nothing is recording?

Watch() records the first observation of each non-skipped rule, then detaches
a child that polls at the cadence in the header. The parent returns only after
the child reports ready on an inherited pipe, and writes the pidfile after
that. A clean stop writes the sentinel; a hard error does not.

* chore: implement phase 7

Invariant defended: H3. The one question: can a rule be called alive
because it looked alive one poll ago?

proveCoverage (grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/coverage.go) is the pure
coverage function: nine checks over one rule's polls — sentinel,
from-bounds, heartbeat continuity, health error/nodata, liveness,
in-window pause, rule absence, KeepLast. Liveness is absolute, never a
delta. Cross-domain comparisons translate by each poll's own skew and
widen boundary segments by its skew bound, fail-closed.

* chore: implement phase 8

Invariant defended: H6/H7. The one question: can a violation ever
outrank an unobservable rule, or can a pass happen without
Violations empty and err nil?

Adds classify.go: the pure per-instance classifier (outcome table,
preexisting policy, BadFor) and decide(), the seam combining
proveCoverage with those timelines under one Policy. Consolidates
rule-poll filtering and skew translation onto pollsForRule/runnerTime,
shared with coverage.go.

* chore: implement phase 9

Invariant defended: H5/H7. The one question: can check report a pass
over a window it did not prove?

Check() is the I/O shell around the pure decide(). Single-step
synthesizes the header and its own sentinel, so no mode flag reaches
the pure layer. Log mode stops the recorder before the one full read.

The header, not a definition re-resolved after the window closed, is
the authority for what was paused when the window opened — it decides
`skipped`, the drain set, and the transitionGrace max. The flock, not
the pidfile, is the authority for whether a writer still exists.

not just an observed reason) and close the remaining §22 gaps: newly_bad's
no-early-exit clock assertion, a recorder-mode gap right after the deploy,
a rule's own coverage gap overriding its own recovery, a genuinely
skew-discriminating staleness test, exit-2 consequences on two
Reason-only coverage tests, and end-to-end checks for log-name
collapse, a truncated log, and the real watch-written state histogram.
