Ouroboros 5b1767fadd D04: retire the flat wall-clock timeout pair (owner 1B)
OUROBOROS_SOFT_TIMEOUT_SEC and OUROBOROS_HARD_TIMEOUT_SEC stopped terminating
anything when the activity model (idle window + subtree liveness + absolute
ceiling) replaced them. What survived was five surfaces discussing a value none
of them obeyed: SETTINGS_DEFAULTS offered it, the Settings UI accepted a number,
the save response apologised for it, queue.init compared the caller's value
against the constant it then wrote anyway and logged a deprecation row, and
/status printed "legacy_timeouts_ignored: soft=600s, hard=1800s" on every
request. A knob discussed everywhere and obeyed nowhere reads as a live tunable.

Retired through the existing idiom - RETIRED_SETTING_KEYS, stripped on load. No
successor knob (the activity model already governs), so nothing to seed. Gone
with them: both globals and init parameters in queue/workers, the
_emit_timeout_deprecation_once emitter and its latch, the gateway's
_RETIRED_NO_EFFECT_KEYS bucket (a retired key cannot reach an effect bucket at
all, so _effect_buckets no longer needs the warnings parameter), the status_text
parameters and legacy line, the server reads and ctx fields, the bench settings
carriers and the TB forwarded-env allowlist, and the two ARCHITECTURE rows.

rc_audit's `since` stopped being a one-key special case: RETIRED_IN_THIS_ABI
names the distinction, so an upgrading install still learns the difference
between "stopped working in THIS upgrade" and "was already inert".

Pins: tests/test_legacy_timeout_retirement.py (10 cases, incl. a grep-class
sweep and the auditor's since/behavior). The N-1 fixture carries the pair at its
DEFAULT values - a default-valued ghost is the one nobody looks for - so the
rc_audit fixture suite now pins that both produce a retired-setting finding.
Two tests that asserted the old no-op semantics are reshaped, not deleted.

Disclosed: saving the key through POST /api/settings no longer returns an
explicit "Retired setting(s) saved" warning; it is merged away silently like
every other retired key. Restoring it would mean reading the raw body for keys
the merge deliberately never looks at.

Ouroboros Devtools

devtools/ contains operator-side and benchmark support code that should be versioned with Ouroboros without becoming part of the runtime core.

Rules:

  • Generated logs, datasets, run outputs, Docker layers, and secrets do not live here.
  • Default benchmark outputs go under /Users/anton/Ouroboros/bench_runs/.
  • Runtime modules must not import devtools.
  • This is not an immune-system bypass: touched files are reviewed normally.
  • Promote code out of devtools only through a separate reviewed runtime plan.
