ENGINEERING POSTMORTEMS
The flattering answer was not the final answer.
Three short records of a plausible result being invalidated by a stronger measurement.
- What failed
- An isolated leader can still accept a local append, which looks successful if commit state is ignored.
- Signal
- The test tracks commit advancement separately from proposal acceptance.
- Correction
- Only a current-term entry replicated to a majority can advance the leader's commit index.
- Engineering lesson
- Availability-looking behavior is not safety evidence; the invariant must be observed at the commit boundary.
- What failed
- The first implementation looked compliant and cached because its abstractions reported tokens and hits.
- Signal
- Wire-level one-second request windows and transferred-byte counters contradicted the abstraction-level metrics.
- Correction
- Replace burst capacity with strict pacing and assign cache freshness rules per EDGAR host.
- Engineering lesson
- Measure the wire, not the class name: a RateLimiter and Cache do not prove rate limiting or caching.
- What failed
- RMSE and localization-only views make JPDA look like the better crossing strategy.
- Signal
- OSPA cardinality cost reveals marginal clutter tracks that soft association keeps alive.
- Correction
- Publish localization and cardinality separately, then compare the total under paired seeds.
- Engineering lesson
- A better estimator can be a worse tracking system when the metric ignores existence errors.
