Summary

The align retired lossless and every_sample as over-promising and renamed latest for
ambiguity. This lands the two honest words — newest / ordered — at every spelling site.
Clean rename, no aliases, no deprecation (pre-1.0): a retired word now fails at wire time
listing the two legal values.

DELIVERY_PROFILE_DECLARATION_VALUES becomes [&str; 2], DeliveryProfile becomes
Newest / Ordered, and Lossless's resolution to Overflow::Block goes with it — so
producer-blocking is unreachable from here on. The Overflow enum itself stays; #2025
deletes the machinery and carries the change's REMOVED: bullets.

The census in the ticket body was an under-count and has been corrected in place (35 × latest,
14 × every_sample, 8 × lossless across runtime/ + sdk/, not the three files first named).

Closes

Closes #2024

Exit criteria

  • git grep -F '"lossless"' -- runtime sdk, the same for "every_sample", and
    delivery_profile = "latest"all three return zero. The constant carries exactly two entries.
  • A declared latest fails at wire time listing 'newest', 'ordered'
    (unknown_declared_value_is_rejected_with_the_legal_values, kept with new spellings).
  • /verify-audio PASS on the rig with SpeakerSink declaring ordered, wheel rebuilt first.

Test plan

Run on this branch, against a wheel rebuilt with maturin develop:

Gate Result
/verify-audio through-engine loopback (rig) PASS — 440.0 Hz, amplitude 0.5, THD 0.001%, DTMF 482917 in order, 0.0 ms continuity error, 0 tap drops
wheel pytest (-m "not requires_gpu") 349 passed
mypy.stubtest streamlib._engine clean
pyright@1.1.411 0 errors
cargo test -p streamlib-python-wheel --lib 106 passed
delivery-profile slice (9 named tests) 9 passed
cargo test -p streamlib-media-builtins --lib 79 passed
deviceless audio integration binaries 4 passed
test_tap_audio_channel / test_known_audio_signal 23 / 17 passed
cargo xtask run-local-ci-gates all gates passed
cargo xtask check-all-source-gates 11/11 passed
cargo test --workspace (tier-1 baseline) 135/135 binaries ok
cargo fmt --all --check clean

Not proven here: cargo check --target aarch64-apple-darwin cannot complete on this machine —
iceoryx2-pal-posix-0.8.1's build script fails on a missing Apple SDK header (libproc.h) while
generating bindings. The crates whose dependency tree excludes it (streamlib-processor-schema,
streamlib-macros) cross-check clean, and this branch changes no dependency, so the failure is
environmental rather than a branch defect — but the ticket's stated cross-check is unproven
and needs a machine with the SDK.

Notes for owner

Two scope calls, one of which I reversed under review.

  1. I first drew the refactor(engine): newest and ordered — the two read policies land everywhere #2024/chore(engine): the blocking machinery goes — Overflow deletes and the bullets prove it #2025 boundary at the quoted form — leaving backticked prose about
    producer-blocking for chore(engine): the blocking machinery goes — Overflow deletes and the bullets prove it #2025. Both reviewers pushed back, correctly: moving SpeakerSink from
    lossless to ordered is a behaviour change (Overflow::BlockDropOldest), so a comment
    three lines below it explaining the code by producer-blocking is a claim this change
    falsified, and CLAUDE.md makes that non-optional. The working rule became prose this change
    falsifies moves; prose describing still-live machinery stays
    . tap.rs and overflow.rs stay —
    verified the tap builds its blocking channel by hand rather than deriving it from a profile, so
    enable_safe_overflow: false is genuinely still reachable until chore(engine): the blocking machinery goes — Overflow deletes and the bullets prove it #2025.
    The full hand-off, including two anchors chore(engine): the blocking machinery goes — Overflow deletes and the bullets prove it #2025's body is missing, is posted as a comment there.

  2. I shipped two over-promises and the reviewers caught both. Worth flagging because they are
    the exact failure class this ticket exists to remove:

    • The Python input() docstring and README said "every drop is counted at the port and
      readable in graph"
      . Every Python processor is helper-placed, and a helper-placed
      destination's node carries no metrics at all (open_iceoryx2_service_op.rs:726). So the
      one audience that can read that sentence is the one it is false for. Removed from both; they
      now state only that neither profile promises delivery and no link blocks a producer.
    • The _engine.pyi write() doc attributed an over-ceiling write to the consuming port's drop
      count. It is a producer-side payload byte-size refusal counted in refused_over_ceiling_count
      (output.rs:195) — the bag never reaches a subscriber, so no mailbox eviction can account for
      it. Two unrelated mechanisms had been conflated.

    This is the same clause your memory already flags: "No loss is silent" is not fully met
    helper-placed processors and the iceoryx2 subscriber ring stay uncounted. Nothing in this PR
    advertises otherwise now, and the clause remains something /ship-change must amend rather than
    fold in as delivered.

Two things outside the ticket's census that I fixed because leaving them would have shipped a
defect:

  • cli.py:320 — the streamlib new scaffold declared latest. A miss there ships a broken
    scaffold to every new user.
  • iceoryx2::delivery_profile's tests were in neither test.yml's named slice nor the xtask
    mirror, so the invariant this ticket's exit criteria lean on ran in no CI job — despite two of
    them anchoring <!-- verify: --> lines in ARCHITECTURE.md. Nine tests added by name to both
    lists (36 entries each, byte-identical). Named individually rather than by module prefix, per the
    standing rule that a prefix enrols whatever the module holds next.

One finding for #2025, not actionable here: its REMOVED: Lossless bullet is case-sensitive
and will match surface_image_exchange.rs:62 ("Lossless and un-inflated" — a PNG claim, not a
profile). That is the same carve-out the change file already made in prose for lowercase
lossless at handlers.rs:286,300, so the bullet cannot pass as written. Raised on #2025.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Introduced two delivery profiles: newest and ordered.
    • newest prioritizes the latest available data; ordered preserves publication order.
    • Both profiles may drop data under pressure without blocking producers.
  • Documentation

    • Updated quickstart guidance, profile descriptions, validation messages, and examples to reflect the new profiles.
  • Tests

    • Expanded automated coverage for profile parsing, resolution, fallback behavior, validation, and ordering semantics.

… lossless

The schema constant carries two values, DeliveryProfile becomes
Newest/Ordered, and every site that quoted the three words moves with
it — declarers, the macro grammar, the control-plane rendering, the
Python declaration surface, the `streamlib new` scaffold and the wheel
test corpus. No aliases, no deprecation: a retired word now fails at
wire time listing the two legal values.

Overflow stays, unreachable, for #2025 to delete.
Both surviving profiles resolve to DropOldest, so the false arm the doc
walked through is unreachable prose.
…d the profile tests drive the declaration constant

Review adjudication for #2024. Moving SpeakerSink's port from lossless
to ordered is a behaviour change (Overflow::Block -> DropOldest), so the
comments three lines below it explaining the code by producer-blocking
are claims this change falsified, not vocabulary #2025 inherits.

Also: the Ordered variant doc stops claiming a count the subscriber ring
does not make; STREAM_DEPTH becomes ORDERED_DEPTH now that the grouping
it named is gone; and the two value-set tests iterate
DELIVERY_PROFILE_DECLARATION_VALUES instead of a hand-written array, so
a profile added to the constant is covered without widening them.
… cannot make

Two over-promises this branch introduced, both of the class the retired
word was retired for.

The Python input() docstring and the README said every drop is counted
at the port and readable in graph. Every Python processor is
helper-placed, and a helper-placed destination's node carries no metrics
at all rather than a zero the parent cannot stand behind
(open_iceoryx2_service_op.rs:726). Both now state only what holds:
neither profile promises delivery, and no link blocks a producer.

LinkOutputDataWriter.write's stub doc attributed an over-ceiling write
to the consuming port's drop count. It is a producer-side payload
byte-size refusal counted in refused_over_ceiling_count on the egress
(output.rs:195); the bag never reaches a subscriber, so no mailbox
eviction can ever account for it.

Also: node.rs describes both arms of enable_safe_overflow again — false
is live, passed by the tap and asserted by node.rs:488 — and the two
twins of the audio-probe comment rewritten earlier lose the same
no-sample-may-be-dropped claim.
…ule prefix

A module prefix enrols whatever that module holds next, which is how a
device test joins the deviceless slice without anyone deciding to add
it. Nine names, mirrored verbatim in the xtask list.

Not a defect — this is a deliberate negative assertion, and the line is unchanged by this PR beyond the latestnewest rename.

The call sits inside pytest.raises(TypeError, match="unexpected keyword argument 'schema'"). Refusing schema= is the contract under test: a port carries no type, so schema= is gone rather than tolerated-and-ignored (plan: ARCHITECTURE.md §Processor model, schema-free-ports). The line already carries # type: ignore[call-arg] for exactly this reason, and pyright is clean at 0 errors.

Making the analyzer happy here would mean deleting the test that proves the parameter is absent.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The delivery-profile API changes from latest, every_sample, and lossless to newest and ordered. Both profiles use drop-oldest behavior. Engine code, SDK declarations, fixtures, documentation, and CI tests now use the new vocabulary.

Changes

Delivery profile migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile contract and resolution
runtime/streamlib-engine/src/iceoryx2/delivery_profile.rs, sdk/streamlib-processor-schema/src/processor_schema.rs, sdk/streamlib-processor-schema/src/descriptors.rs, sdk/streamlib-processor-schema/src/processor_schema_parser.rs
DeliveryProfile now contains Newest and Ordered. Both resolve to drop-oldest behavior. Parsing, fallback behavior, legal values, and tests use the new names.
Engine integration and rendering

Engine fallback, profile conflicts, rendered metadata, runtime descriptors, mock processors, and service documentation use the new profiles.
SDK contracts and parser coverage
sdk/streamlib-macros/src/grammar.rs, sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/python/streamlib/_processor_declaration.py, sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/python/streamlib/_engine.pyi, sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/src/python_test_harness_endpoints.rs
SDK documentation, grammar fixtures, parser assertions, writer behavior, and the Python bag collector adopt newest and ordered.
Runtime and media adoption
runtime/streamlib-engine/tests/fixtures/*, runtime/streamlib-media-builtins/src/*
Media processors and fixtures use the new profiles. Comments describe ordered reads, bounded queueing, and possible loss without producer blocking.
Python probes and declaration tests
sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/python/streamlib/cli.py, sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/tests/*
Scaffolding, probes, processor declarations, expected metadata, and test descriptions replace the retired profile names.
Documentation and CI coverage
README.md, .github/workflows/test.yml, xtask/src/main.rs
The README documents the two read policies. Named delivery-profile tests now run in workflow and local CI slices.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ca815

This PR replaces the public delivery-profile names and removes lossless producer-blocking behavior; ordered delivery can discard older data when its bounded queue overruns. Merge readiness still has concrete gaps: a test collector promises every bag despite possible eviction, the README omits a shared-channel restriction, and mixed-version manifests or runtimes will reject stale values during graph construction. These risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

…he one-policy-per-port rule

CodeRabbit review. TestBagCollector's description promised 'every bag'
on a depth-16 drop-oldest port — the same over-promise shape this change
retired the old vocabulary for. It now says what it bounds.

README described two consumers wanting different profiles 'from the same
producer', which is the one arrangement channel_delivery_profile refuses:
a channel's single publisher shares one ring config, so consumers that
want different policies fan out through distinct output ports.

…odel and archive (#2030)

* docs(plan): ship delivery-profile-vocabulary — fold into §Processor model and archive

Every ticket of the change is merged (#2023 → PR #2026, #2024 → PR #2028,
#2025 → PR #2029), so the delta folds into the plan and the change file archives
under #2029's merge date.

The fold is not a clean tick. "No loss is silent" shipped for the app-process
half only, and the tree says so out loud — `open_iceoryx2_service_op` carries a
test named `a_helper_placed_destinations_node_carries_no_metrics_rather_than_a_zero`.
So the clause is amended rather than folded in as delivered, and the two paths
that still lose a bag uncounted become one OPEN entry beneath it:

- a helper-placed destination — every Python processor — evicts and counts in its
  own child process, and its graph node renders no `metrics` key at all;
- a bag the iceoryx2 subscriber ring overwrites under `enable_safe_overflow`
  never reaches a mailbox and is counted nowhere.

The `newest` pass-over is recorded as the deliberate non-drop it is
(`PortMailbox::pop_latest`, and the test that locks it).

§Processor model & scheduling stays IN-FLIGHT — it now holds three OPEN entries
(this one, drop-count reflection, extra execution flavors). The section's
`(→ delivery-profile-vocabulary)` pointer goes. §Media I/O needed no fold: the
align already moved its audio entries to `ordered`, and the change was
consequential there only.

Ten `<!-- verify: -->` markers added, all run and passing; the diagram's
"every drop is counted at the port and shows in graph" carried the same
overclaim on the helper edge and is corrected.

* docs(plan): a drop count is cumulative for one wiring, not for a link id

Two of #2023's reviewers read the change file's "monotonic and cumulative" and
found the built behaviour narrower: `DroppedBagCountsByInboundLink::forget_inbound_link`
drops a disconnected link's counter, so reconnecting the same id starts from zero.
The code says why — a count outliving its link would name something `graph` no longer
has — but the plan said nothing, and a reader polling counts across a reconnect would
have been wrong about what they were reading.

Locked by `a_disconnected_links_count_goes_with_the_link`.
