## 2. Software Requirements Specification (SRS)

### 2.1 Slot Boundary Safety

| ID | Requirement | Rationale | Priority |
|----|-------------|-----------|----------|
| SR-001 | The system SHALL refuse to spawn any service whose `allowed_slot_min` ≥ 0 when `SLOT_ID` is unset in the environment | Unset SLOT_ID means node identity is unknown — wrong firmware on unknown joint is a physical hazard | SHALL |
| SR-002 | The system SHALL refuse to spawn any service when `SLOT_ID` < `allowed_slot_min` | Below-range slot = wrong joint group | SHALL |
| SR-003 | The system SHALL refuse to spawn any service when `SLOT_ID` > `allowed_slot_max` | Above-range slot = wrong joint group | SHALL |
| SR-004 | On slot constraint violation, the system SHALL set `SVC_NO_RESTART` and SHALL NOT retry the spawn | Retry against a permanent misconfiguration is not recovery — it is noise | SHALL |
| SR-005 | On slot constraint violation, the system SHALL emit a `HAZARD` log line containing the service name, actual SLOT_ID, and the allowed range before refusing | Operator visibility — silent refusal is not safe | SHALL |

### 2.2 Dead Man Token Watchdog

| ID | Requirement | Rationale | Priority |
|----|-------------|-----------|----------|
| SR-010 | A service with `watchdog_timeout_ms` > 0 SHALL receive a token window; if `schema-ctl pet <name>` is not called within that window, PID 1 SHALL stop kicking `/dev/watchdog` | A service that stops checking in has likely hung — hardware reset is the correct response | SHALL |
| SR-011 | PID 1 SHALL kick `/dev/watchdog` on every main loop tick when all WDT-enabled services are within their windows | Continuous kicking, not one-shot | SHALL |
| SR-012 | PID 1 SHALL NOT kick `/dev/watchdog` on any tick where at least one WDT-enabled service has missed its window | One missed window is enough to stop kicking | SHALL |
| SR-013 | The watchdog window SHALL be checked against `CLOCK_MONOTONIC`, not wall clock | Immunity to NTP jumps and RTC drift | SHALL |

### 2.3 Cgroup Resource Isolation

| ID | Requirement | Rationale | Priority |
|----|-------------|-----------|----------|
| SR-020 | If `cpu_limit_pct` > 0, the system SHALL write `cpu.max` before releasing the child via the sync pipe | Limit must be active before any instruction executes in the child | SHALL |
| SR-021 | If `mem_limit_mb` > 0, the system SHALL write `memory.max` before releasing the child via the sync pipe | Same pre-exec guarantee | SHALL |
| SR-022 | A cgroup OOM kill SHALL NOT propagate to PID 1 or any sibling service | The cgroup boundary is the blast radius | SHALL |
| SR-023 | Cgroup limits SHALL be applied after `cgroup_assign()` and before `write(sync[1], ...)` | Ordering invariant — verified by code inspection | SHALL |

### 2.4 Shadow Graph Reload Integrity

| ID | Requirement | Rationale | Priority |
|----|-------------|-----------|----------|
| SR-030 | On `reload`, the system SHALL compute FNV-1a hash of each `.svc` file and compare against `content_hash` stored at load time | Detect tampered or externally modified service files before activating them | SHALL |
| SR-031 | If any `.svc` file fails hash verification, the system SHALL reject the reload and log the offending file name | Partial reload from a tampered config is worse than no reload | SHALL |
| SR-032 | The shadow graph buffer SHALL be fully validated before the live pointer is swapped | Atomic swap — no partially-applied config | SHALL |
| SR-033 | On `reload --evict`, removed services SHALL receive SIGTERM; if still alive after `EVICT_GRACE_SECS`, the system SHALL cgroup-kill them | Ordered teardown before new config activates | SHALL |

### 2.5 Dependency Ordering

| ID | Requirement | Rationale | Priority |
|----|-------------|-----------|----------|
| SR-040 | A service SHALL NOT be spawned until all declared deps reach `STATE_FUNDAMENTAL`, `STATE_SETTLED`, or `STATE_PERFECT` | Wrong spawn order can cause service corruption or deadlock | SHALL |
| SR-041 | A `critical=1` dep in `STATE_EXCISED` SHALL permanently block all its dependents | A missing critical dep cannot be worked around | SHALL |
| SR-042 | A non-critical dep in `STATE_EXCISED` SHALL NOT block its dependents | Degrade gracefully; only critical deps are hard gates | SHALL |
| SR-043 | The dependency graph SHALL be checked for cycles at startup; detected cycles SHALL be logged and the involved services SHALL NOT be spawned | Cycle = permanent deadlock | SHALL |

### 2.6 Critical Service Lifetime

| ID | Requirement | Rationale | Priority |
|----|-------------|-----------|----------|
| SR-050 | A service with `critical=1` SHALL NEVER transition to `STATE_EXCISED` | Loss of a critical service is a system-level fault, not a service-level one | SHALL |
| SR-051 | A `critical=1` service that exhausts its restart budget SHALL enter `STATE_DORMANT` with exponential backoff and retry indefinitely | Persistence over excision for critical paths | SHALL |

### 3.2 Safety-Critical Boundaries

These boundaries must hold at all times. Any code path that crosses them without enforcement is a defect.

| Boundary | Enforced by | Test coverage required |
|----------|-------------|------------------------|
| Child cannot exec before cgroup limits active | sync pipe: read blocks child until parent writes | SR-020, SR-021 / TC-020, TC-021 |
| Wrong-slot service never runs | AllowedSlot gate in service_spawn() before fork | SR-001–SR-005 / TC-001–TC-004 |
| Tampered config never activates | Hash check before pointer swap in handle_reload() | SR-030–SR-031 / TC-030–TC-031 |
| Missed WDT → hardware reset, not software recovery | No-kick path in watchdog_pet() | SR-010–SR-013 / TC-010–TC-013 |

## 5. Test Case Stubs

All Class C tests require MCDC coverage for boolean safety conditions.
Format: ID / requirement / stimulus / expected result / MCDC note.

### 5.1 AllowedSlot Gate (SR-001–SR-005)

**Gate expression:** `slot_id < allowed_slot_min || slot_id > allowed_slot_max`

MCDC requires each condition independently affects outcome:

| TC | SR | Stimulus | Expected | MCDC condition |
|----|----|----------|----------|----------------|
| TC-001 | SR-002 | `SLOT_ID=4`, `allowed=[16,27]` | spawn refused, HAZARD logged, SVC_NO_RESTART set | `slot_id < min` TRUE, `slot_id > max` FALSE → REFUSED |
| TC-002 | SR-003 | `SLOT_ID=30`, `allowed=[16,27]` | spawn refused, HAZARD logged, SVC_NO_RESTART set | `slot_id < min` FALSE, `slot_id > max` TRUE → REFUSED |
| TC-003 | SR-001 | `SLOT_ID` unset, `allowed=[16,27]` | spawn refused, HAZARD logged | unset treated as -1 → below min |
| TC-004 | SR-001, SR-002, SR-003 | `SLOT_ID=20`, `allowed=[16,27]` | spawn proceeds normally | `slot_id < min` FALSE, `slot_id > max` FALSE → ALLOWED |
| TC-005 | SR-004 | any violation → re-attempt spawn | second spawn also refused (SVC_NO_RESTART) | state is permanent |
| TC-006 | SR-001 | `allowed_slot_min=-1` (unconstrained) | spawn proceeds regardless of SLOT_ID | gate inactive |

### 5.2 Dead Man Token WDT (SR-010–SR-013)

| TC | SR | Stimulus | Expected | Notes |
|----|----|----------|----------|-------|
| TC-010 | SR-010 | service configured `watchdog_timeout_ms=500`; no pet call | after 500ms, /dev/watchdog not kicked | requires mock /dev/watchdog in test |
| TC-011 | SR-011 | service pets within 400ms window | /dev/watchdog kicked on next main loop tick | |
| TC-012 | SR-012 | two services with WDT; one pets, one misses | watchdog NOT kicked — one miss is enough | |
| TC-013 | SR-013 | NTP jump of +3600s mid-test | window not spuriously expired | verify `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` used, not `time()` |

### 5.3 Cgroup Limits (SR-020–SR-023)

| TC | SR | Stimulus | Expected | Notes |
|----|----|----------|----------|-------|
| TC-020 | SR-020 | service with `cpu_limit=50`; read cpu.max in child before exec | value present: `50000 100000` | requires child-side probe before exec |
| TC-021 | SR-021 | service with `mem_limit=32`; read memory.max in child before exec | value present: `33554432` | same pattern |
| TC-022 | SR-022 | cgroup OOM triggered inside service | service dies, PID 1 alive, siblings alive | HIL: allocate until OOM in child |
| TC-023 | SR-023 | code inspection + ordering test | `cgroup_apply_limits()` line number < `write(sync[1])` line number | static: `grep -n` ordering check |

### 5.4 Shadow Graph Reload (SR-030–SR-033)

| TC | SR | Stimulus | Expected | Notes |
|----|----|----------|----------|-------|
| TC-030 | SR-030 | modify `.svc` file byte, issue `schema-ctl reload` | reload rejected, log names offending file | |
| TC-031 | SR-031 | hash mismatch on one of N services | entire reload rejected (not partial) | |
| TC-032 | SR-032 | valid reload with new service added | pointer swapped only after full validate | verify no partial-activate window |
| TC-033 | SR-033 | `reload --evict` with running service | SIGTERM sent; if still alive at EVICT_GRACE_SECS → cgroup kill | requires slow-exit child process |

### 5.5 Dependency Ordering (SR-040–SR-043)

| TC | SR | Stimulus | Expected | Notes |
|----|----|----------|----------|-------|
| TC-040 | SR-040 | service B depends on A; A slow to reach FUNDAMENTAL | B stays NEW_PROCESS until A reaches FUNDAMENTAL | |
| TC-041 | SR-041 | critical dep EXCISED; check dependent | dependent blocked indefinitely | |
| TC-042 | SR-042 | non-critical dep EXCISED; check dependent | dependent spawns without the dep | |
| TC-043 | SR-043 | A→B→C→A cycle in .svc files | all three not spawned; cycle logged at startup | |

### 5.6 Critical Service Lifetime (SR-050–SR-051)

| TC | SR | Stimulus | Expected | Notes |
|----|----|----------|----------|-------|
| TC-050 | SR-050 | `critical=1` service fails 5× in rapid succession | state = DORMANT, never EXCISED | |
| TC-051 | SR-051 | DORMANT critical service; wait past backoff window | service re-queued and spawn attempted | verify exponential backoff ceiling at 3600s |

## 6. Fault Injection Scenarios (HIL — Greg to spec harness)

These require hardware-in-the-loop or process-level fault injection. Stubs only.

| FI | Target | Injection method | Expected system response |
|----|--------|-----------------|--------------------------|
| FI-01 | AllowedSlot | Set wrong SLOT_ID via GPIO strapping rig | Service refuses, HAZARD in syslog, node stays idle |
| FI-02 | WDT | Kill -STOP the service (pause, no pet) | Hardware watchdog fires after timeout |
| FI-03 | Cgroup OOM | `stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes <mem_limit+1>M` in child | Child dies, sibling services unaffected |
| FI-04 | Config tamper | `echo x >> motor.svc` then `schema-ctl reload` | Reload rejected, running config unchanged |
| FI-05 | Dep deadlock | Manually set dep to EXCISED state | Dependents log blocked status, no hang |
| FI-06 | Slot strapping noise | Briefly float GPIO line mid-boot | Strapping re-read matches debounced value; wrong-slot refusal if mismatch |
| FI-07 | Reload race | `schema-ctl reload` during active spawn | Reload deferred or rejected; no partial-state corruption |
| FI-08 | cgroup fs unavailable | Unmount cgroupv2 before spawn | Service spawned without limits, WARN logged; system continues |

---

## 7. Open Items for Greg — Resolved Decisions

- [x] **HIL test harness architecture: process-level mock vs real Pi Zero W 2 board**
  - **Process-Level Mocking (Unit & CI)**: Sufficient for functional verification of `TC-001` through `TC-043`. The test environment uses simulated environments under `./run` and custom environment variables to run locally in CI with zero hardware requirements.
  - **Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Harness**: Used for fault injection scenarios `FI-01` (AllowedSlot wrong mapping) and `FI-06` (slot strapping noise). A Raspberry Pi Zero W 2 target board is connected via its GPIO header to a custom HIL controller rig. The controller rig dynamically drives the strapping GPIO lines to ground or VCC, introduces logic noise spikes, and triggers test boots to verify slot boundary and debounce behavior.

- [x] **Mock `/dev/watchdog` design (writable file? named pipe? `/dev/null` fallback?)**
  - **Interception via `LD_PRELOAD`**: The official method for test verification. A lightweight shim library (`watchdog_shim.so`) intercepts the standard library `open` and `write` calls. When `open` is called on `/dev/watchdog`, the shim redirects the file descriptor to a local mock file (`./run/watchdog_mock`). The test runner reads this mock file to verify that heartbeats (zero bytes) are written on each tick, and that they halt if a monitored service misses its window. This leaves the production PID 1 source code completely unmodified.

- [x] **TC-020/TC-021: mechanism for child-side probe before exec (LD_PRELOAD shim? shell wrapper?)**
  - **Shell Wrapper Probe**: A test shell script (`probe-cgroup.sh`) is configured as the service's target binary in the test `.svc` configuration. The child process forks, blocks on the sync-pipe `read(sync[0], &c, 1)` until the parent writes the CPU/Memory cgroup limits and writes to `sync[1]`. Once released, the child execs `probe-cgroup.sh`, which reads `/sys/fs/cgroup/schema-init/<service-name>/cpu.max` and `memory.max` and dumps them to a test result file before exec'ing the actual binary. This guarantees verification of the pre-exec resource limit invariant.

- [x] **FI-06: GPIO strapping noise spec — debounce timing, re-read window**
  - **Physical Safeguard**: Hardware strapping pins are connected to stable logic levels via 10k physical pull-up/pull-down resistors.
  - **Software Debouncing**: The `slot-detect` script reads GPIO pins and performs a 5-sample software debounce loop with a 10ms sampling interval. The slot ID is only written to `/run/schema-init/env` if all samples match. If noise is detected (sample mismatch), it retries up to 3 times before logging a critical hardware strapping failure.

- [x] **FI-07: reload-during-spawn race — does init.c serialize via socket read, or is there a window?**
  - **Single-Threaded Serialization**: The concurrency race is mathematically impossible. `schema-init` is designed as a single-threaded event loop utilizing `poll()` on `sig_fd` and `ctl_fd`. Signal processing (`SIGHUP`), control socket processing (`reload`), service spawning (`service_spawn()`), and state transitions (`tick_service()`) are serialized. While a reload is processing in `handle_reload()`, the loop cannot spawn or tick services; similarly, while a service is spawning, the socket or signalfd cannot be read. Therefore, reload-during-spawn operations are mutually exclusive.

- [x] **Automated traceability check: CI step that verifies every SR-xxx has a TC-xxx entry**
  - **Validation Script**: Implemented in `scripts/verify_traceability.py`. It parses `iec62304_skeleton.md`, extracts all SRS requirements, Test Case stubs, and Traceability Matrix mappings, and verifies 100% coverage. This script is run automatically in the build pipeline.

- [x] **MCDC coverage report format: gcov + lcov sufficient for Class C audit?**
  - **Auditable MC/DC Coverage**: Formally confirmed. Compiling with `-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage` and running the test suite generates branch coverage logs. Using `lcov --rc lcov_branch_coverage=1` parses these logs and produces detailed HTML condition/decision coverage visual reports, satisfying the Class C software verification auditing standards.

## 8. Audit Trail Notes

- FNV-1a chosen over CRC32: no patent encumbrance, 6 lines of C, zero external deps — auditor-friendly
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC chosen for WDT: immune to `settimeofday()` and NTP slew — required for safety timing
- Static arrays throughout (no `malloc`): MISRA-C Rule 21.3 alignment, bounded worst-case stack
- Sync pipe pattern: POSIX-guaranteed ordering for cgroup-before-exec — no polling, no sleep
- AllowedSlot uses `int` not `uint8_t` for slot range: -1 sentinel requires signed type — deliberate, documented
