The chainsaw-dispatch budget probe only fired when chainsawAsserts was non-empty, so a recipe whose enabled refs queued no asserts never recorded exhaustion even when verifyGPUReadinessSignals itself consumed the remaining budget -- exactly the path issue #2473 reported. That let an exhausted run with no collected failures fall through to the healthy return, and one with failures report the wrong error code instead of the fail-closed timeout. Make the probe unconditional and rename the stage label so it reads correctly whether or not any asserts were queued. Also fix the verifyGPUReadinessSignals fan-out's unreachable-but-wrong g.Wait() error branch, which discarded every collected failure into a nil return; match the two sibling fan-outs in the same file that already use "_ = g.Wait()" since goroutines never return an error there. Corrects two stale doc comments in the same function: "two Go-resident deep checks" is now three (nodewright, DRA kubelet-plugin, RDMA fabric), and the checkExpectedResources doc comment now notes that markUndispatched only covers already-queued asserts, not refs the loop never reached. Pins the regression test's collected-failure count so the headline behavior (collected failures survive into the fail-closed report) is actually asserted, not just the error code and message shape.

waitFailureMessage rendered "timeout: validator did not complete within <catalog timeout>", but WaitForCompletion actually waits catalog timeout + ValidatorWaitBuffer -- a 10m30s wait was reported as an 8m timeout. Since #2473 added Job-deadline headroom, a hung check now routinely expires this orchestrator wait before the Job's own deadline, making the understated message more common. Render both components explicitly, using truncateToSeconds on each to keep whole-second precision consistent with activeDeadlineSeconds and AICR_CHECK_TIMEOUT. enforcedDeadline's fallback returned an untruncated v1.JobDeadlineFor(...) while its doc comment claimed it matches what BuildJobPlan renders onto ActiveDeadlineSeconds, which truncates via int64(...Seconds()). Wrap the fallback in the same truncateToSeconds helper so the comment's claim is true. Adds an explicit sum assertion to TestValidatorTimeoutRelationships: the existing bounds-range and >= K8sPodReadyTimeout checks don't backstop a dropped ValidatorTerminationGracePeriod summand, since the resulting 2m still passes both.

A few statements were missed by this branch's own sweep after adding
ValidatorJobDeadlineHeadroom (3m30s):
- docs/user/validation.md's "Benchmark Job stuck or timed out" section
still described activeDeadlineSeconds as set by the catalog timeout
alone.
- docs/contributor/validator.md's RDMA eager-disclosure-floor section
still asserted the "no-margin poll budget" SIGKILL premise that the
matching Go comment in expected_resources.go was already updated to
retract.
- pkg/defaults/timeouts.go's CheckExecutionTimeout doc conflated the
check budget with the Job deadline ("shorter than the catalog-level
Job timeout (activeDeadlineSeconds)"); it should name
AICR_CHECK_TIMEOUT, which is what it is actually compared against.
- pkg/client/v1/aicr.go named "the largest per-check Job timeout (the
65m inference-perf catalog timeout)" without the headroom added on
top; the pkg/defaults mirror of this sentence was already updated to
68m30s, this one was not. The conclusion (75m facade cap sits above
it) was already correct -- only the number was stale.
Also documents on JobPlan.CheckTimeout that it is informational only
after BuildJobPlan returns (buildEnv already bakes the same value into
plan.Env at build time), and on JobPlan.JobDeadline that leaving it at
its zero value yields an instantly-exceeded Job. Comment-only; no
defaulting logic added.

Kubernetes measures activeDeadlineSeconds from the Job's status.startTime, but the orchestrator only began its own wait once the apply response landed. With a delay d between Job persistence and that response, AICR gave up at d + timeout + ValidatorWaitBuffer while Kubernetes fired at timeout + ValidatorJobDeadlineHeadroom, so Kubernetes won whenever d > JobEnvelopeMargin (60s) and deleted the still-active pod holding the verdict the headroom exists to preserve. DeployJob now records the Job's observed start time from the apply response (status.startTime, falling back to creationTimestamp) and WaitForCompletion derives its remaining wait from that origin via the new v1.OrchestratorWaitFor, capped at the un-rebased budget for apiserver clock skew and floored at defaults.ValidatorMinCompletionWait so a pathological delay cannot report a timeout before anything ran.

markUndispatched only named the chainsaw asserts already queued when the enabledRefs loop broke, so a budget that expired partway through dropped every later component's health check from the report — an operator read a short failure list and concluded the rest of the cluster was fine. It now also names the components the iteration never reached and the GPU readiness probes that were skipped. Those GPU probes are now skipped rather than run once the budget is gone. Their poll loops observe ctx.Ctx, but expectedNodewrightNames takes no context at all, so its value resolution and manifest rendering ran to completion on an already-dead budget and delayed the failure report without producing a verdict. The fan-out is extracted as runGPUReadinessProbes so its concurrency can be proven directly: a rendezvous that releases nobody until every probe has arrived, which a serial implementation cannot satisfy. The equivalent barrier at the client level is not possible here — testing.Fake.Invokes holds one mutex across the whole reaction chain, so blocking in a reactor starves the sibling probe and self-deadlocks either way.

…tion rule The JobPlan customization example mutated plan.CheckTimeout after BuildJobPlan, which is a no-op for AICR_CHECK_TIMEOUT because buildEnv has already baked the value into plan.Env. Set entry.Timeout before the call instead, so both the env var and the derived JobDeadline follow from it. Self-termination within AICR_CHECK_TIMEOUT is a MUST, not a SHOULD: a pod that exits on its own is no longer active, so deleteActivePods leaves it as Failed for log extraction, whereas one still running when activeDeadlineSeconds fires is deleted along with its verdict.

The orchestrator-vs-Job-deadline race is strictly better after the rebase, not absolute: once the ValidatorMinCompletionWait floor engages for d >= checkTimeout+180s, the Job's own activeDeadlineSeconds can fire first again.

Fixed in 71632c3 — and a fair catch, because it's the fifth instance of the same defect and the one that mattered most.
Both now name the condition and the fallback: clock 1 starts at the validator container's first instruction while clock 3 starts at the Job's start time, so container startup eats into the headroom; a startup slower than Worth stating explicitly since it's the question underneath this thread: no offset strategy removes that gap, because the pod's context cannot start before its container does. What this PR changes is that the gap is now the only way Kubernetes wins — previously it won on every check, regardless of startup, because all three clocks shared a single catalog value. |

OrchestratorWaitFor floored the rebased wait at ValidatorMinCompletionWait without checking how much of the Job's own deadline was left. The time until Kubernetes fires is remaining + JobEnvelopeMargin, so the floor won only while remaining > -30s; past that the function returned a 30s wait it could compute would outlive the deadline, and the Job controller deleted the still-active pod whose logs carry the verdict (issue #2473). Bound every branch by JobDeadlineFor(checkTimeout) measured from the same observedStart anchor the Job controller uses, so the two derivations cannot drift, and end the wait at least ValidatorPreDeadlineMargin (new, 1s) before it. When that bound is not positive the deadline is already gone and no shorter wait can save the pod, so the floor is returned anyway: a zero or negative wait would expire WaitForJobTerminal's context before its fast-path Get could observe the already-terminal Job, degrading a Failed/DeadlineExceeded outcome into an infrastructure error. Rewrite the comments that ca51304 hedged with "for all but a pathologically slow response" — the wait no longer outlives a deadline it can still beat — and correct the JobPlan.JobDeadline claim that the check "always" terminates first, which container startup slower than the headroom can still break. The table test case that expected the floored 30s at an 8m15s apply delay encoded the bug; it now expects 14s. Added coverage for a deadline nearer than the floor, both boundaries, and an elapsed deadline (asserting the returned wait is positive so the terminal Get can run).

The clock-ordering caveat attributed Job-first termination only to container startup exceeding the headroom. A sufficiently delayed create/apply response engaged ValidatorMinCompletionWait and reached the same lost-verdict outcome by the other route. Name both, and state the post-fix truth for each: OrchestratorWaitFor now bounds every result at ValidatorPreDeadlineMargin short of clock 3 computed from the same start time, so a late response costs the wait its length rather than its ordering, while container startup remains live because the check's context cannot begin before its container does.

You're right that it was only partial, and the remaining half was mine to close rather than document. Fixed in c8773d0. What was still broken. Now. Every branch is bounded by insideDeadline := observedStart.Add(JobDeadlineFor(checkTimeout)).Sub(now) - defaults.ValidatorPreDeadlineMargin

When the deadline has already elapsed the pod is gone regardless, so a shorter wait saves nothing — but a zero or negative wait expires the context before One qualifier I'd rather state than have you find. That same branch also covers a deadline within 1s of firing, where the returned floor nominally outlives it. The pod is unsavable in that window either way, and the doc comment says so rather than claiming an unqualified "never". Tests ( I also re-corrected the comments ca51304 had softened to "for all but a pathologically slow response" — after this change that hedge is wrong in the other direction — and 432eb84 updates ADR-002 to name both paths that can put the Job deadline first: container startup, which is still live and which no offset strategy can remove (a pod's context cannot begin before its container does), and the delayed apply response, which is now bounded. |
markUndispatched gated every unreached component on HealthCheckAsserts, so a ref declaring only expectedResources produced no line at all: the budget expired between components, the loop never ran helper.VerifyResource for them, and the report came back looking complete while part of the recipe's deployment contract carried no verdict. Three shipped overlays and the gb200 training example declare expectedResources, so the shape is live. Report the two kinds of work an unreached ref carries independently -- a [chainsaw] line when it has a registry health check, and an [expectedResources] line per declared resource, tagged like the lines the loop itself emits so both read the same in the failure list. TestCheckExpectedResourcesReportsUnreachedExpectedResources drives the gap through checkExpectedResources with the budget expiring mid-run rather than before it: a fake-clientset reactor cancels inside the first component's own verification, which is what deterministically leaves a later component unexamined. It reported 3 issues before this change and 5 after. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com>
The exit-code note said the CLI wait is measured from "the Job's own start time", but observedJobStart falls back to creationTimestamp whenever the apiserver has not yet stamped status.startTime -- which is the normal case in the create/apply response the wait is anchored on. Name both, and state the direction: creationTimestamp is never later than status.startTime, so the fallback only ever ends the wait earlier, which keeps the "deliberately shorter than activeDeadlineSeconds" claim in the same sentence true rather than weakening it. The ADR already documented the fallback this way (docs/design/002-validatorv2-adr.md); this brings the user guide in line. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com>

expected-resourcesreliably failed at its 8m deadline on fresh multi-component installs — three reports across GKE and EKS, two OSes, four recipes — and the one check whose failure needed explaining was the only one guaranteed to have no logs. Two independent causes:1. The deadline was a three-way tie the pod always lost. The Job's
activeDeadlineSeconds, the pod'sAICR_CHECK_TIMEOUT, and the orchestrator's wait all came from the same catalog value. The Job's clock starts at Job creation, the pod's at container start, so Kubernetes fired first by exactly the pod-start latency — killing and deleting the pod.WaitForJobTerminaltreatsFailedas a legitimate terminal state, soWaitForCompletionreturned nil, the orchestrator took the success branch intoExtractResult, found no pod, and emitted the opaque message in the issue.HandleTimeout— which reads logs from a live pod — was never reached.2. On budget exhaustion the check discarded its own diagnosis. Two
ctx.Done()branches incheckExpectedResourcesreturned before the reporting block, so the accumulated failures were thrown away; with an empty failure list it could fall through to "All deployment resources … are healthy" and returnnilfor a run that never finished.Raising the 8m fixes neither: it preserves the tie exactly, and re-picks a number that was never derived.

Additive headroom, not multiplicative.
JobDeadline = CheckTimeout + ValidatorJobDeadlineHeadroom(3m30s), derived once inv1.JobDeadlineForand read by both renderers. The gap absorbs pod-start latency — a quantity independent of the check's own budget — so a proportional factor would be the wrong shape:2×handsinference-perfa 65m gap it cannot use (a 130m deadline that also breaksValidationOperationTimeout's documented invariant), gives a 2m check only 2m, and imposes a floor forcing four catalog entries to grow. No catalog timeout value changes in this PR.The ordering invariant is
CheckTimeout < CheckTimeout + ValidatorWaitBuffer < JobDeadline, enforced per catalog entry against the rendered Job from both renderers (production usesRenderPlanToApplyConfig, so a one-sided change would silently diverge server-side apply from the typed path). It holds unconditionally: the headroom is a constant strictly greater than the wait buffer.Why the pod now survives: a pod that terminated on its own is no longer active, and the Job controller's
deleteActivePodsonly deletes active pods. Previously it was still running when the deadline fired.ValidatorWaitBuffer30s → 2m30s (K8sPodReadyTimeout+ValidatorTerminationGracePeriod), reusing the constant that already means "how long an AICR Job's pod may take to become ready." Without this the orchestrator abandons the wait before the pod's clean exit on any cold-node image pull, and reports an orchestrator timeout in place of the check's verdict.Fail-closed reporting. Exhaustion sets a stage label instead of returning; the label gates the healthy return, and queued-but-undispatched chainsaw components get an explicit
not evaluated — budget exhaustedline so a short failure list is not misread as a mostly-healthy cluster.GPU readiness probes now run concurrently (
new(errgroup.Group)+ indexed results, preservingfirstStructuredErrprecedence by construction). Collapses 3×60s of dwell to 60s on a healthy cluster and makes the stage ceiling genuinely oneGPUReadinessTimeoutrather than three.Behavior changes worth knowing

Both are blocking and the UAT asserts pinfailed: 0andother: 0, so no gate moves — but anyone branching onsummary.failedalone should know.install_readiness_gateattempt grows ~8m30s → ~11m, dropping attempts per 3600s window from ~7 to ~5. The Azure lane'sAZ_RELOGIN_INTERVAL_SECONDSinteraction should be measured rather than assumed.Breaking change
pkg/validator/v1.JobPlan.Timeoutis split intoCheckTimeoutandJobDeadline.make api-diffdoes not coverpkg/validator/v1(it scopespkg/client/v1plus seven aliases), so no gate flags this for external Go consumers. Migration:Leaving
JobDeadlineat zero yields an instantly-exceeded Job — the natural single-field migration (Timeout→CheckTimeout) is the hazard, so it is documented on the field.Deliberately out of scope
GPUReadinessTimeoutalone is sized at 8m to ride one tuning reboot, and the longest authored assert is 7m), and forcing it by truncating chainsaw's caller budget would silently reclassify "still converging" as "genuinely unhealthy" —runAssertWithRetryreturns the last substantive assertion error on thectx.Done()path andchainsaw.Resultcarries no timed-out marker. This PR makes exhaustion legible; a retry loop makes it rare. Follow-up.install_readiness_gate), which is why a caller usingValidateStatedirectly gets none of it. This PR is its prerequisite: an outer loop over a check that reports nothing yields N opaque failures instead of one.gatedHealthCheckSuppressedcancellation. It threads the check context into a Helm render and wraps any failure asErrCodeInternal, so a context expiring mid-render still returns early and discards the collected list. Same defect class, different path. Follow-up.not evaluatedline (only queued asserts do). Documented on the comment rather than fixed.Testing
All green. Coverage on changed packages:
pkg/defaultspkg/validator/v1pkg/validator/catalogvalidators/deploymentNo per-package decrease. The one new exported function,
v1.JobDeadlineFor, is at 100%.Not run locally, needs a maintainer's environment:
pkg/validator/jobis envtest-backed and was not executed. Its assertions are compile-verified (go vet) only. Encoded expectations for review:330s(120 + 210) inTestDeployJobTimeouts,510s(300 + 210) inTestDeployJobDefaultTimeout.make qualifywas not run — it includes e2e, and this workstation's active kubecontext is a production DGXC cluster. CI is the gate here.Note for anyone reproducing the lint step: the
golangci-lintcommonly on PATH is v1.x, which cannot parse this repo's v2 config and fails at load withsort-results should be 'true' to use sort-order. Use the pinned v2.13.2.Risk Assessment
Medium rather than High: the change is additive at every catalog entry, no timeout value moves, and healthy-cluster runs get faster (GPU dwell 3m → 60s). The
activeDeadlineSecondsgrowth is a backstop that never manifests as wall time on the normal path — the orchestrator's wait is the binding clock. Deployment-phase per-check budgets are unchanged at 24m; only checks that actually time out wait longer, by at most 2m each, on the path where waiting for the pod's clean exit is the entire point.Rollout notes: No migration, no feature flag, no schema change. Backward compatible at the Kubernetes and CLI surface; source-breaking for external Go consumers of
pkg/validator/v1.JobPlan(see Implementation Notes). Revertable as a unit — the commits are independent per concern.Checklist
