The continuous-historization recorder awaited every outbox append (an fsync
under PerEntry) on its mailbox, so ingestion was capped at 1/fsync_latency
bursts per second while the mux kept telling into an unbounded, unmetered
mailbox. GetStatus also suspended the mailbox on an unbounded outbox count.
- Gated ingest bursts go to a bounded channel (64 bursts) drained by one
ordered append loop, which commits every burst waiting behind a slow
append in a single AppendBatchAsync (FIFO kept). Only a full queue holds
the mailbox (backpressure, bounded memory). Counters are Interlocked; the
loop nudges the drain. PostStop flushes queued bursts within the shared
5 s stop budget.
- GetStatus reads counters on the actor thread and pipes a count bounded by
a 10 s timeout (-1 when it does not answer); it no longer suspends the
mailbox. RecorderStatus gains PendingAppends, MailboxDepth and
AppendBackpressureWaits; two gauges publish pending appends and mailbox
depth.
- ContinuousHistorization:CommitMode defaults to Periodic (100 ms). The
Host's appsettings.json, its unparseable-value fallback and docker-dev
still say PerEntry: filed as a Host follow-up (outside this lane).
Rebased from the unpushed remed/lane-H2 branch (originally authored 2026-10-22
