# T1.3: Activity Timeout Tuning Automation
|
||||
|
||||
**Submilestone:** T1 (Production Hardening)
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE
|
||||
**Branch:** `task/T1.3`
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Implement intelligent timeout tuning system that learns from historical activity execution patterns and automatically recommends timeout adjustments to prevent failures and optimize performance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### Timeout Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
- Track activity execution metrics (duration, success/failure, timestamp)
|
||||
- Calculate percentile metrics: P95, P99, max duration
|
||||
- Identify patterns in timeout failures
|
||||
- Generate confidence scores for recommendations
|
||||
- Support percentile-based timeout recommendations (P99 + buffer)
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendation Engine
|
||||
|
||||
- Analyze execution history to identify undertuned activities
|
||||
- Recommend timeout increases when P99 exceeds current timeout
|
||||
- Recommend timeout decreases when current timeout is excessive (>2x P99)
|
||||
- Confidence scoring based on sample size and success rate
|
||||
- Three priority levels: low (confidence <0.5), medium (0.5-0.7), high (>0.7)
|
||||
|
||||
### Lessons Framework
|
||||
|
||||
- Store timeout lessons in persistent JSONL files
|
||||
- Track old timeout, new timeout, reason, failure rate
|
||||
- Support per-task timeout lesson tracking
|
||||
- Generate human-readable format for planner input
|
||||
- Mark lessons as effective/ineffective for feedback loop
|
||||
|
||||
### Signal Generation
|
||||
|
||||
- Generate `TimeoutTuningSignal` objects for planner integration
|
||||
- Include activity type, new timeout, reason, confidence
|
||||
- Priority-based signaling (high-priority changes first)
|
||||
- Compatible with existing lesson/signal framework
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal Package: `internal/tuning`
|
||||
|
||||
#### `analyzer.go`
|
||||
- `ExecutionMetric` - Recorded activity execution (type, duration, success, timestamp)
|
||||
- `TimeoutRecommendation` - Analysis result with P95/P99, confidence, suggested timeout
|
||||
- `TimeoutAnalyzer` - Core analyzer with metrics collection and analysis
|
||||
- Methods:
|
||||
- `RecordExecution()` - Record an activity execution
|
||||
- `Analyze()` - Generate timeout recommendations
|
||||
- `SaveMetrics()` / `LoadMetrics()` - Persistence to JSONL
|
||||
- `SaveRecommendations()` - Save recommendations to JSON
|
||||
- Helper functions for percentiles, averages, confidence calculation
|
||||
- 14/14 unit tests passing ✅
|
||||
|
||||
#### `lessons.go`
|
||||
- `TimeoutLesson` - A learned timeout adjustment
|
||||
- `TimeoutLessonsStore` - Manage lessons for tasks
|
||||
- `TimeoutTuningSignal` - Signal for planner to apply timeout change
|
||||
- Methods:
|
||||
- `AppendLesson()` - Record a lesson for a task
|
||||
- `ReadLessons()` / `GetLatestLesson()` - Retrieve lessons
|
||||
- `GenerateLessonFromRecommendation()` - Convert analysis to lesson
|
||||
- `GenerateSignalsFromRecommendations()` - Create planner signals
|
||||
- `FormatLessonsForPlanner()` - Human-readable format
|
||||
- 22/22 unit tests passing ✅
|
||||
|
||||
#### Unit Tests: `*_test.go`
|
||||
- 36 tests total, all passing ✅
|
||||
- Coverage of analysis, recommendations, lessons, signals
|
||||
- Edge cases: empty metrics, all failures, multiple activities
|
||||
- Persistence testing for metrics and lessons
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Intelligent Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Record metrics over time
|
||||
analyzer.RecordExecution("implementer", 8*time.Second, true, nil)
|
||||
analyzer.RecordExecution("implementer", 12*time.Second, true, nil)
|
||||
analyzer.RecordExecution("implementer", 15*time.Second, false, err)
|
||||
|
||||
// Analyze and get recommendations
|
||||
currentTimeouts := map[string]time.Duration{"implementer": 5*time.Second}
|
||||
recs, _ := analyzer.Analyze(currentTimeouts)
|
||||
// Recommends: 5s → ~20s (P99 + buffer) with 85% confidence
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Confidence Scoring
|
||||
|
||||
- Sample confidence: More data = higher confidence (capped at 100 samples)
|
||||
- Reliability confidence: 1.0 - failure_rate
|
||||
- Weighted average: 40% sample + 60% reliability
|
||||
- Example: 50 samples, 5% failure rate = 0.93 confidence
|
||||
|
||||
### Lesson Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Persist lessons for task
|
||||
lesson := &TimeoutLesson{
|
||||
ActivityType: "implementer",
|
||||
OldTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
|
||||
NewTimeout: 20 * time.Second,
|
||||
Reason: "P99 duration 18s exceeded old timeout",
|
||||
ConfidenceScore: 0.95,
|
||||
}
|
||||
store.AppendLesson("task-001", lesson)
|
||||
|
||||
// Format for planner
|
||||
formatted := FormatLessonsForPlanner(lessons)
|
||||
// "Recent timeout lessons learned:
|
||||
// [Lesson 1] implementer:
|
||||
// Old Timeout: 5s → New Timeout: 20s
|
||||
// Reason: P99 duration 18s exceeded...
|
||||
// Confidence: 95.0%"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Signal Generation
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Generate signals from recommendations
|
||||
signals := GenerateSignalsFromRecommendations(recommendations)
|
||||
// Each signal includes:
|
||||
// - ActivityType: "implementer"
|
||||
// - NewTimeout: 20 * time.Second
|
||||
// - Reason: "P99 exceeded"
|
||||
// - Confidence: 0.95
|
||||
// - Priority: "high" (confidence > 0.7)
|
||||
```

|
||||
|
||||
## Kubernetes Integration
|
||||
|
||||
With timeout tuning:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Activity metrics persisted in shared volume
|
||||
volumeMounts:
|
||||
- name: tuning
|
||||
mountPath: /var/poimen/tuning
|
||||
|
||||
# Recommendations available across pod restarts
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- name: tuning
|
||||
persistentVolumeClaim:
|
||||
claimName: poimen-tuning
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Example
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Initialize timeout analyzer
|
||||
analyzer := tuning.NewTimeoutAnalyzer(
|
||||
"/var/poimen/tuning",
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// Initialize lessons store
|
||||
store := tuning.NewTimeoutLessonsStore(
|
||||
"/var/poimen/tuning",
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// During workflow execution
|
||||
for _, activity := range activities {
|
||||
start := time.Now()
|
||||
err := executeActivity(activity)
|
||||
duration := time.Since(start)
|
||||
|
||||
analyzer.RecordExecution(
|
||||
activity.Type,
|
||||
duration,
|
||||
err == nil,
|
||||
err,
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After milestone completion
|
||||
recommendations, _ := analyzer.Analyze(currentActivityTimeouts)
|
||||
|
||||
// Generate lessons for planner
|
||||
for _, rec := range recommendations {
|
||||
if rec.Confidence > 0.7 { // High confidence only
|
||||
lesson := GenerateLessonFromRecommendation(&rec)
|
||||
store.AppendLesson(taskID, lesson)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Save recommendations to disk
|
||||
analyzer.SaveRecommendations(recommendations)
|
||||
|
||||
// Planner can read and suggest timeout updates
|
||||
lessons, _ := store.ReadLessons(taskID)
|
||||
formatted := FormatLessonsForPlanner(lessons)
|
||||
// Pass to planner as context for decision-making
|
||||
```

## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
All internal, no new external dependencies added.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Percentile-Based Timeout** - Uses P99 + 20% buffer (industry standard)
|
||||
2. **Confidence Scoring** - Weighted combination of data quantity and reliability
|
||||
3. **JSONL Persistence** - Human-readable, easy to debug, append-only
|
||||
4. **Per-Task Lessons** - Enables targeted tuning for specific tasks
|
||||
5. **Priority Signaling** - High-confidence changes promoted for planner attention
|
||||
6. **Separation of Concerns** - Analyzer (metrics), Lessons (storage), Signals (integration)
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Planner
|
||||
|
||||
The planner can leverage timeout tuning:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Planner initialization
|
||||
lessons, _ := store.ReadLessons(taskID)
|
||||
formattedLessons := FormatLessonsForPlanner(lessons)
|
||||
|
||||
// Include in planner prompt context
|
||||
systemPrompt := fmt.Sprintf(
|
||||
"You are an expert planner. Previous lessons:\n%s\n...",
|
||||
formattedLessons,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// After planner suggests implementer, planner can suggest:
|
||||
// "Signal: update-tuning(activity='implementer', newTimeout='20s')"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
- Activity dependency-aware timeouts
|
||||
- Seasonal/periodic timeout adjustments
|
||||
- ML-based timeout prediction
|
||||
- SLO-aware timeout optimization
|
||||
- Automatic circuit breaker thresholds
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (T1.4 → T1.5 → T1.6)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **T1.4:** Board state validation & auto-healing
|
||||
2. **T1.5:** Workflow pause/resume with state snapshots
|
||||
3. **T1.6:** Comprehensive integration tests for concurrency
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- All metrics stored as JSONL (one per line)
|
||||
- Recommendations stored as pretty JSON (easy to read)
|
||||
- Lessons support feedback (can mark as effective/ineffective)
|
||||
- Confidence range: 0.0-1.0 (0% to 100%)
|
||||
- P99 + 20% buffer is conservative (safe overestimate)
|
||||
- Works with any activity type (implementer, judge, git, etc.)
