fix(slo): exclude customer-caused failures from operation reliability by TargiX · Pull Request #55 · TargiX/Signalops

TargiX · 2026-10-27T06:14:48Z

Why

Sentry JAVASCRIPT-NUXT-GA ("[SignalOps] Operation reliability SLO breached", 21 events since Oct 1) fired on Oct 27 for phosphene-production: observedValue 0.92, sampleSize 25, critical threshold 0.95. The failures in that window came from one user's prompts that the provider blocked as content policy. Phosphene sends those as outcome.failure { category: "content_policy", responsibility: "customer" }, but the SLO read totals.successRate = succeeded / (succeeded + failed) and counted them as system failures.

Commit 1: fix (`60edbe8`)

operationReliabilityV1(totals) in ops-snapshot.ts: failures with responsibility: "customer" are removed from both the numerator and the denominator. totals.successRate stays as the raw outcome rate.
slo_operation_success_rate now reads it. The default policy version becomes operation-reliability-2026-10-27, and its description says customer-caused failures are excluded.
The cockpit shows the same number. When customer-caused failures exist, the Succeeded tile reads "92% success · 100% excl. content/input". The investigation brief adds a "Reliability (excludes N customer-caused failures)" line.
Provider failures and failures with unknown responsibility still count against reliability.

Commit 2: proposal, can be dropped (`ec6851a`)

At ~25 operations a day, a 24h window with a minimum sample of 20 cannot tell a 99% objective from 95%. One provider failure reads 0.96, which is a warning. Two read 0.92, which is critical.

The default reliability policy moves to a 7-day window (10_080) with minimumSample: 50. The new version is operation-reliability-7d-2026-10-27.
evaluator.ts used to judge every SLO on the 24h snapshot and ignored windowMinutes. It now loads the snapshot that covers each enabled policy's window (sloRangeForWindowV1). Provider-health, telemetry-conflict and truncation decisions still read 24h.
Side effect: the 7-day reconciliation_delta_ratio policy now really evaluates over 7 days.
Cost: one extra 7d snapshot load per evaluation.
Stored tenant rows in signalops_v1_slo_policies (self-serve seeds) keep 20/1440. No data is migrated.

To ship only the fix, drop ec6851a.

Proof

scripts/test-signalops-ops-v1.mjs replays the Oct 27 window from events (23 ok + 2 content_policy/customer). The raw success rate stays 0.92 and the SLO is met (observed 1, n=23). A mixed window with 22 ok + 1 customer + 1 provider + 1 unknown failure still breaches critical (22/24).
scripts/test-signalops-incidents-v1.mjs: a snapshot with only customer-caused failures is met and opens no reliability incident. With commit 1's slo.ts reverted, both new tests fail with breached.
Commit 2 tests cover the window-to-range mapping. A quiet week (172/173) opens nothing, and a degraded week (172/182) opens a critical incident.
pnpm typecheck, pnpm lint and all 20 pnpm test:* scripts from pnpm check pass. pnpm build was not run.

Not done

Nothing deployed. Production SignalOps data is unchanged. The open incident for this SLO should auto-resolve on the next evaluation after deploy, because the version bump re-keys the fingerprint and unmatched open incidents get resolved.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Reliability reporting now excludes customer-attributed failures from the reliability rate while preserving the overall success rate. The rate and excluded-failure count are shown in the live cockpit and investigation brief.
Improvements
- Reliability SLOs now use a seven-day window and require at least 50 eligible operations. Incident evaluation uses snapshots that match each policy’s time window, enabling reliability incidents to reflect weekly performance.

The Operation reliability SLO judged totals.successRate, so content-policy blocks a user caused (failure.responsibility = customer) breached it. Phosphene's Oct 27 window (23 ok, 2 content_policy) read 0.92 and opened a critical incident (Sentry JAVASCRIPT-NUXT-GA). operationReliabilityV1 drops customer-responsibility failures from both the numerator and the denominator; the SLO, the cockpit Succeeded tile and the investigation brief read it. totals.successRate keeps the raw outcome rate. Default policy version bumps to operation-reliability-2026-10-27.

…e 50 Separate, droppable commit. At ~25 operations a day a 24h/min-20 window cannot tell a 99% objective from 95%: one provider failure reads 0.96 (warning), two read 0.92 (critical). The default reliability policy moves to a 7-day window with a minimum sample of 50. The incident evaluator also stops ignoring windowMinutes: it judged every SLO on the 24h snapshot. Each enabled SLO is now judged on the snapshot covering its window (sloRangeForWindowV1); provider, telemetry and capacity decisions still read 24h. This also makes the 7-day billing reconciliation policy evaluate over 7 days as declared. Stored tenant policy rows keep their values.

Walkthrough

Reliability SLO calculations now exclude customer-attributed failures, and the default reliability policy uses a seven-day window with a 50-operation minimum. Evaluation loads snapshots for policy windows, and cockpit views display the adjusted reliability rate and excluded failure count.

Changes: Reliability SLO evaluation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reliability calculation and policy `src/lib/signalops/v1/ops-snapshot.ts`, `src/lib/signalops/v1/slo.ts`, `scripts/test-signalops-ops-v1.mjs`, `scripts/test-signalops-incidents-v1.mjs`	Reliability calculations exclude customer-attributed failures from the sample. SLO observations use the adjusted rate and sample size. The default reliability policy now has a seven-day window and a minimum sample of 50.
Policy-window snapshot selection `src/lib/signalops/v1/slo.ts`, `src/lib/signalops/v1/evaluator.ts`, `src/lib/signalops/v1/incidents.ts`, `scripts/test-signalops-incidents-v1.mjs`	The evaluator loads snapshots for ranges used by enabled policies. Incident evaluation selects the snapshot for each policy window, falling back to the supplied snapshot when no matching snapshot is available. Tests cover window-to-range mapping and weekly evaluations.
Cockpit reliability display `src/components/live-cockpit.tsx`, `src/lib/signalops/v1/cockpit-view.ts`	The cockpit displays the adjusted reliability rate when customer failures are excluded. The investigation brief also shows the excluded failure count.

TargiX/Signalops#53: Adds a seven-day SLO policy, which is evaluated against a seven-day snapshot by this change.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to ec685

The customer-failure exclusion works as described. The new seven-day window, however, can hide a billing reconciliation discrepancy when more than 50 periods exist, and a failed wider snapshot can stop incident evaluation for the 24-hour decisions and for other tenants. Resolve these two before merge. The cockpit label also needs a wording fix.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(slo): exclude customer-caused failures from operation reliability" matches the main change. The PR excludes failures with responsibility "customer" from the operation reliability SLO calculation, and the raw summary confirms the new operationReliabilityV1 helper, the updated default policy, and the cockpit and incident changes that follow from it. The title is concise, uses a conventional commit prefix, and names the primary behavior change. It does not mention the optional 7-day window proposal or the evaluator changes, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 25.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 8 functions across 8 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Use customer-cause wording for the adjusted rate.

operationReliabilityV1 excludes every failure with responsibility: "customer". The contract also permits categories such as application_error and storage_error with that responsibility. Such failures would be shown as “content/input” in the Succeeded tile. Use customer-caused or customer-attributed, consistent with the investigation brief. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Keep 24-hour incident evaluation available if a wider snapshot fails.

If the new 7d snapshot request fails, this await aborts evaluation before syncSignalOpsIncidentsV1 runs. Provider-health, telemetry, and 24-hour SLO decisions then stop updating even though their snapshot loaded successfully. Isolate wider-snapshot failures without treating a missing snapshot as a valid 24-hour SLO evaluation. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Evaluate billing reconciliation from the full seven-day period set.

The default billing policy now reads a 7d snapshot, but buildReconciliationBlockV1 keeps only the newest 50 reconciliation periods. If more than 50 periods fall in that week, observationForPolicy omits older periods when it calculates the billed-to-estimated gap. A discrepancy in an omitted period can therefore produce a false “met” decision. Keep the full period set for SLO evaluation, even if the displayed snapshot remains capped.
