Until now the target came from whatever search_path resolved to. The
script printed what it found, but that print and the DELETE happen in
the same run with nobody in between, so it only ever helped the person
who ran a dry-run first. Swap the role that runs it and "$user" can
resolve somewhere else entirely.
--table takes the whole qualified name and resolves it directly. The
table half has to be llm_calls: a version that accepts any name turns
one typo into a general purpose row deleter, and any table with a
created_at and a tenant_id would go through the same batched DELETE
without complaint.
The tests that run it now run as a role that owns its own scratch table
and holds nothing on the shared one, so the row-count snapshot could
go. What replaced it is a case that lets the script fall through to the
shared table on purpose and asserts it exits 2 having deleted nothing.
That one has no red-first path, since making it red means running it as
the superuser, which is the thing being prevented; the finding's probe
covers it instead.
Five of the new usage tests passed before the flag existed, because
argparse rejects an unknown --table with exit 1 and the word --table in
stderr, which is exactly what they asserted. They now also assert the
error is not "unrecognized", which is the difference between testing
the validation and testing argparse.
_validate carried the whole matrix in one function (cc C/13, over the
branch quality gate). Splitting it by what is actually being checked —
shared, sqlite-only, postgres-only — puts every piece at A/B.
Ordering is the part that had to survive: the chain's order is the error
messages' priority, so a run with several bad flags still reports the
same one it did before. The --vacuum/--apply pairing therefore stays in
the shared step ahead of the backend branch, where it was; it is a "do
not rewrite the whole file when you only meant to look" rule, which
holds before the question of which backend a flag belongs to.
No behavior change: all nine parser.error strings are byte-identical and
in the same order, and the eight usage-error cases pass unmodified.
The library only ever SELECTs/INSERTs into llm_calls (D15), so expiring
rows has to live outside it — holding DELETE would contradict the
REVOKE UPDATE, DELETE the deployment template recommends.
tools/telemetry_retention.py is dry-run by default and prints the row
count, the created_at window and the tenant_id spread so an operator can
tell whether the rows about to go are the intended ones. The Postgres
branch refuses partitioned targets with exit code 3 (DETACH/DROP
PARTITION is O(1); DELETE is not) and otherwise deletes in per-batch
transactions. Missing asyncpg exits 2 rather than degrading quietly:
this is an ops tool, and a silent "0 rows" reads as "already clean".
Exit codes are the contract with the scheduler, so argparse errors were
moved off 2 (now 1) to keep "bad flags" distinguishable from "cannot
reach the database".
The Postgres cases run against the real instance in throwaway schemas —
never public.llm_calls — and the batch case asserts the shared table's
row count is unchanged, so a search_path that failed to apply lands as a
red test instead of a deletion.
Verifier adversarial cases showed pooled-room exemption could hide real
breaches: edge rows may only borrow from the neighbor on their own side,
and neighbor room is consumed globally so two windows cannot claim the
same slot. Also parse SQLite created_at as UTC, guard the dispatch
semaphore on progress-callback failure, and print a caveat that rescore
live checks reflect current db3 state.
RPM invariant now buckets by admit time on the Redis server clock,
exempts +/-2s boundary jitter, and excludes cache-hit rows that never
consumed a limiter slot. RSS sampling reports current ps RSS instead of
the monotonic ru_maxrss peak. Dispatch is paced by the concurrency
semaphore so --max-hours stays live and memory stays bounded. Add
--rescore RUN_ID to re-judge a finished run offline.
