* feat: add the e2e guest disk-performance gate Nothing measured guest disk performance in CI, which is why a quadratic index scan shipped in viperblock 35dd9f2 and survived three subsequent fixes to adjacent code. It is also why the two availability clauses at the end of the ebs-performance plan's Stage 0 have never been evaluated: a sustained random-write workload took the guest, and then the host, down, and nothing since has demonstrated that it no longer does. tests/e2e/diskperf/ launches an instance, attaches a dedicated blank volume per repetition, and drives a pinned fio profile over guest SSH. Two profiles: randwrite-4k at 4 jobs x 4 GiB, the shape the exit criterion names, and randrw-70-30-4k, the mixed workload the headline IOPS came from. The target is a raw device with direct=1 rather than a file on the boot disk, so guest page cache, filesystem allocation and journal traffic are out of the path. Two classes of assertion, kept apart because folding them together lets a run that left the host unreachable pass on a respectable IOPS figure. Availability is hard pass/fail and absolute, so it gates from the first run: the job completes inside its budget, a guest responsiveness probe answers throughout on a second SSH channel, and the host's own sshd answers throughout. The guest probe reads the root volume while the workload runs on a different one, so a pass is evidence of isolation between volumes rather than of the job merely being slow. The host probe is a TCP connect plus an SSH banner read, which needs no credential and still proves the kernel scheduled sshd. Throughput and latency are banded against a committed baseline: fail above 25% regression, warn above 10%, per-metric median across repetitions. baseline.json is committed and embedded, with every figure zeroed, and a zero reference records and warns rather than failing. Only the availability class gates until numbers are captured on the bare-metal cell; a throughput band nobody measured would be a fabricated gate. A fresh volume per repetition is the reset. Extent count grows monotonically, so reusing a volume makes the gate order-dependent and drifts its own numbers upward over time, slowly normalising the regression it exists to catch. Each job is its own guest invocation and fio's JSON is fetched by a separate command, so a wedged job loses only itself and reports as a budget breach rather than a parse failure. e2e-baremetal.yml gains suites, suite-env and cell inputs so one reusable workflow serves both the correctness cell and nightly cell 28, which queues behind cell 20 on the shared concurrency group. Cells 25-27 are the dedicated eks, ecs and rds cells. The per-suite Go test timeout is resolved from e2e_suite_timeout in suite-sets.sh, where diskperf declares its 180-minute budget beside rds's rather than in a second place. The gate's own arithmetic runs in preflight via test-harness: band edges, the unmeasured cases, per-stream metric selection, fio JSON parsing, and the probe accounting including a slow-but-successful answer counting as a breach. A gate whose comparison logic is untested is the failure mode the plan is otherwise full of. The extent-count ceiling named as a fourth availability assertion is not implemented: it needs viperblock.index.entries from S1.5, which does not exist. * feat: let a manual bare-metal run choose its e2e suites A dispatch run only sees inputs declared under workflow_dispatch, which had none, so suites and suite-env resolved empty and fell back to the correctness set. Capturing a diskperf baseline by hand was therefore unreachable without a workflow_call caller. * fix: build the bare-metal suites the run step will execute The build step packs pre-built binaries into the tarball and did not see the suite selection, so a selected suite was absent from the node unless it happened to be one of the three the build script hardcoded. * feat: commit the measured disk-performance baseline Medians of three repetitions on the bare-metal cell. The throughput and latency bands now gate instead of warning, so a 2x regression in either job fails the suite. randwrite-4k's write tail is two orders above the mixed job's. It is recorded as measured rather than zeroed: an ungated metric would miss the regression class the gate exists to catch.
