AM-9 is met and gated: 13.4 MB peak RSS against a 64 MB target, 4.8x
headroom, in `make all` via --fast. CB-EV-0001's "very unlikely to bind"
was right, but it is now measured rather than assumed, and verified red by
a property mutation (a 300 MB allocation in the workload).
AM-5 is BREACHED on both readings, on the machine the spec names:
dev toolchain (default features) 87.0 s [FAIL target <= 60 s]
shipped runtime (--no-default-features) 61.3 s [FAIL target <= 60 s]
bnt-lap001, 8 cores — a direct comparison, not a directional one. A row
declared "recorded not gated" and never recorded fails its own target by
45% on first measurement.
The tool reports and exits 0 because the spec says the row is ungated.
Gating it is a spec change needing an ADR; a tool that promotes itself is
how a target starts binding without anyone deciding it should. So AM-5
stays unmutatable — for the accurate reason now — and the breach is raised
as a maintainer decision: speed the build, move the target by ADR (arguing
why 60 s was wrong rather than why 87 s is convenient), or withdraw the
row.
The measurement itself had a real bug, found only by cross-validation.
getrusage(RUSAGE_CHILDREN) is a high-water mark across every reaped child,
so it attributed cargo's memory to the workload and reported 38.2 MB for a
run that used 12.3 MB — a 3x over-report that was plausible, passed its
target, and would have been published. Fixed with os.wait4, which returns
that specific child's rusage, and the self-test now cross-checks against
/usr/bin/time -v.
That is the false-accusation shape in the measurement layer rather than
the mutation layer: an instrument confidently reporting a number it had
not earned.
Also: the clean build measures into a throwaway CARGO_TARGET_DIR rather
than running `cargo clean`, so measuring the metric does not cost several
minutes of rebuild afterwards. A metric that punishes its own measurement
gets measured once and never again.
M-D1-MUT: 6 -> 7 of 14.
