# USER-WP-0040 — Wave-2 resource right-sizing from the 2026-10-21 allocation review

Receiving workplan in `user-engine` for the wave-2 request changes below. Deploy sources live in `rapp-user-engine`.

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: USER-WP-0040-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 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
| `user-engine/user-engine` | 1 | 50m → **5m** | 500m | 0.4/4.2 | 64Mi → **64Mi** | 256Mi | 55.7/56.7 | 0.0 | decrease |
| `user-engine/user-engine-pg` | 1 | 100m → **50m** | 1000m | 7.5/9.7 | 256Mi → **96Mi** | 1024Mi | 78.3/102.7 | 0.0 | decrease + memory down |

Source and container detail:

- `user-engine/user-engine`: Deployment `user-engine`, container `portal`, `rapp-user-engine/manifests/runtime.yaml` (50m/64Mi); a parallel copy exists in `net-kingdom/sso-mfa/k8s/user-engine/runtime.yaml` — confirm which one is deployed.
- `user-engine/user-engine-pg`: CNPG Cluster `user-engine-pg` (deployed from rapp-user-engine; locate its `spec.resources`, today 100m/256Mi).

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.

Single-instance Cluster: the user-engine-pg change restarts PostgreSQL; schedule it with the portal change.
