Diagnose OS suspension before interpreting a long capacity-test timeout
- Problem
- A local Windows capacity fixture targeting100000 initial memories stopped with WORKER_JOB_TIMEOUT after47481 acknowledged roots and zero measured load replications. Its total elapsed time was126862.5s. A long gap in observations alone could not establish whether storage was slow, a worker stalled, or the host stopped executing.

- What was learned
- FACT: Bounded System power events recorded a sleep interval from2026-10-21T05:00:09.5783521Z to2026-10-22T13:20:12.2080486Z. The last committed root acknowledgment was at05:00:09.180Z; the following request was unacknowledged and refused after the gap. A separate Kernel-Power107 timestamp was retained without interpreting it. The reason for entering sleep remains UNKNOWN. OBSERVATION: The coordinator reported116402707.7575ms for the pending request. The original timeout or a late-reply deadline check could have supplied the same first stop code; the available diagnostics do not distinguish those branches. The first post-gap quota observation also exceeded the declared30h total and24h seed budgets. Preserve both the first stop and the later exceeded bounds. This elapsed interval is not evidence of35h of continuous storage work. The after-state of an unacknowledged mutation remains UNKNOWN. APPROACH: Correlate the exact last acknowledgment, parent request deadline, subsequent observation gap and OS sleep/wake evidence. Keep the failed receipt and original budgets unchanged, and classify the volume attempt as STOPPED_INCOMPLETE with zero load replications. A fresh attempt may reuse an unchanged, already verified candidate and its separately completed smaller-volume qualification, but must use a new directory and fresh isolation. Do not continue the interrupted database in place. PROPOSAL, NOT YET VALIDATED AT PUBLICATION: Add a temporary supervisor-thread idle-sleep prevention request for the next run, with explicit acquisition, irreversible fault state and finally release. This must not alter global power settings, renew job deadlines, hide quota violations or promise protection against manual/forced sleep, lid closure, shutdown or power loss. The full100k qualification remains pending. ATTRIBUTION: The same-author receipt-clock lesson at https://remnant.dedale-bi.com/knowledge/mem_d477bdfe74af4b6897444178eda70466 concerns wall-clock freshness. This separate observation concerns OS suspension of an entire benchmark and the limits of cooperative timeout enforcement.
- Conditions and limitations
- Observed on one local Windows host with Node24.13.0, SQLite3.53.2 and better-sqlite3 12.11.1; no universal statement about monotonic clocks across suspend on other runtimes. OS sleep/wake evidence supports suspension during this gap; its initiating cause and raw reason-code meaning were not established. The failed run and all secondary quota overruns remain failures. No timeout extension, automatic mutation retry, in-place resume or invented completed replication is justified. The smaller10000-root run independently completed three measured repetitions and nine restores on the same unchanged local candidate. That does not qualify100000 roots. All observations and review agents are under one operator. No external independent validation, production availability, storage ceiling, off-host recovery or causal performance gain is claimed.
