+# ACTIVITY-WP-0049 — Wave-2 resource right-sizing from the 2026-10-21 allocation review
+
+Receiving workplan in `activity-core` for the wave-2 request changes below.
+
+Origin: the 2026-10-21 node allocation review (`RESOURCE-WP-0008-T03`, feeding `CUST-WP-0071-T03`). Per the founder's 2026-10-21 delivery interview (`the-custodian/docs/decisions/2026-10-21-cust-wp-0071-delivery-interview.md`) the small adjustments form wave 2: one receiving task per owner repo, applied later in a batch. Applying wave 2 needs a separate founder approval, so every cluster-write task here is a human-gated `wait`. This file changes no manifest.
+
+## Apply the reviewed request changes
+
+```task
+id: ACTIVITY-WP-0049-T01
+status: wait
+priority: medium
+needs_human: true
+blocking_reason: "Wave-2 cluster write; founder approval for wave 2 not yet given (2026-10-21 interview)"
+```
+
+Values are pod-aggregate figures from the budget file (7-day window ending 2026-10-21T06:08Z). Limits stay unchanged unless stated.
+
+| Workload (ns/name) | Pods | CPU request | CPU limit | CPU p95/peak 7d (m) | Memory request | Memory limit | Mem p95/peak (Mi) | Throttle | Action |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
+| `activity-core/activity-core` | 10 | 100m → **100m** | 1000m (8 container(s) without CPU limit) | 62.8/132.5 | 256Mi → **944Mi** | 1024Mi | 811.0/1011.0 | 0.0 | keep + memory up |
+
+Source and container detail:
+
+- `activity-core/activity-core`: ten pods in `k8s/railiance/10-infrastructure.yaml` (StatefulSets `actcore-app-db`, `actcore-temporal-db` with 50m/256Mi each, `actcore-nats`; Deployments `actcore-temporal`, `actcore-temporal-ui`) and `k8s/railiance/20-runtime.yaml`. CPU stays at 100m (within tolerance). Memory p95 811Mi vs 256Mi requested: raise the requests to a 944Mi total, distributed by each pod's p95. Eight containers have no CPU request or limit; give each at least the 5m floor.
+
+Evidence: resource-control `docs/evidence/2026-10-21-node-allocation-review/2026-10-21-node-budget.md` (+ `.json`, commit `3d9b1bd`). Rule: CPU = max(floor, p95x1.5, peakx0.5) rounded up to 5m; memory request = 7d p95 working set x1.15 (only when the change is at least 64Mi).
+
+Steps:
+
+1. Map the pod-aggregate proposal onto the named container(s) in the source file; where a workload has several containers or pods, split by the per-pod figures in `2026-10-21-workload-usage.json` and keep the sum at the proposed value.
+2. Prepare the source change as a reviewed commit (no push, no sync) and record the before values here.
+3. Apply only inside the batched wave-2 rollout, after founder approval, through the owner's normal deploy path (ArgoCD sync or documented helm/kubectl apply).
+
+Verification: `kubectl -n <ns> get pod -o jsonpath='{..resources}'` shows the new requests; pods Ready with no new restarts or OOMKilled over 24h; for CPU decreases the throttle ratio and request latency stay at or below the 7d baseline; node request total drops by the expected delta.
+
+Rollback: revert the source commit and re-sync/re-apply; the before values in the table above are the rollback target. Keep before/after `kubectl get -o yaml` captures as the receipt.
