 # Analysis efficiency measurements
 
+For genuine Fiddler captures, see the [SAZ selection checkpoint](saz-selection-workflows.md).
+`measure.mjs --saz-selection baseline|focused|retained` compares default complete
+delivery (including retained-reference recovery), caller-selected ordinals, and
+summary/preview/complete/repeated pages. Each failed RPC remains in task costs.
+The body question uses stored bytes, not decoded HTTP application payloads.
+
 Tracks the experiments for [#2016](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2016).
 The production CLI/MCP contracts and defaults remain the compatibility baseline.

+This experiment addresses [#3132](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/3132).
+Its runtime baseline is `ca1b2f8608c52ed721d3576ba5eeb1d66717b08c`.
+Production APIs and defaults are unchanged. The measured cohort establishes no
+stable whole-task token/time benefit; no new production preset, cache or API is
+justified by this checkpoint.
+
+## Genuine public corpus
+
+Both archives come from Microsoft's
+[Xbox Live Trace Analyzer](https://github.com/microsoft/xbox-live-trace-analyzer/tree/ad880ff00b26c4cae5e3c8864d3df438a03890ba/Source/TestData/CertWarnings)

+| Artifact                 | Archive bytes | Expanded member bytes | Sessions | Members | Producer archive comment |
+| ------------------------ | ------------: | --------------------: | -------: | ------: | ------------------------ |
+| `xbox-clear_nomp.saz`    |        43,515 |                62,609 |       13 |      42 | Fiddler v4.5.1.2         |

+
+`corpus.json` pins download URLs, file sizes, SHA-256, Git blob IDs, directory
+coverage and question ordinals. Downloaded bytes match their Git blob and
+SHA-256. A third public 103-session archive is pinned as an admission-negative
+probe, outside completed-question comparisons. Archive comments report their producer
+versions; no local Fiddler installation or independent producer-version proof
+is claimed.
+
+## Fixed analyst question
+
+Before examining transaction facts, select ordinals `[12, 0, 6]` in the control
+and `[1310, 0, 655]` in the larger archive. Return that caller-selected order,
+original padded session IDs and archive-member coordinates, request method/URL,
+response status/version, all recorded Content-Type pairs in their original
+spelling/order, and stored response-body byte length/SHA-256.
+
+Bodies retain their archived encoding. CONNECT trailing bytes are stored data,
+not an inferred HTTP application body or certificate interpretation. Empty bodies
+have zero bytes and the empty digest; an absent response remains absent. Header
+duplication/folding, Latin-1 spelling and binary body bytes are independently
+read without REA imports. Synthetic reader tests cover those semantics and
+malformed input; they establish no provider coverage.
+
+The oracle admits only immutable corpus size/digest matches before constructing
+ZIP objects, preserves central-directory session/member order, reads selected
+members with size sentinels and CRC validation, and checks the source digest
+again. Necessary facts are independently checked for all six selected records.
+
+```sh
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/test_saz_oracle.py
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/saz-oracle.py xbox-clear_nomp.saz /absolute/clear_nomp.saz
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/saz-oracle.py xbox-clear_mp_cs10.saz /absolute/clear_mp_cs10.saz
+```
+
+The baseline build, five oracle regressions and the SDK checker semantics passed
+on Linux. Real MCP preflight checks verify control retained pages/repeated reads,
+the large ordinal-selected result, and large complete-workflow recovery. The
+default large MCP return completes analysis but exceeds the existing 10 MiB stdio
+receive-buffer budget; its exact returned retained Evidence reference supports
+summary and complete pages. Recovery preserves the failed RPC and every follow-up
+call, and matches the independently checked necessary facts from direct selection.
+This transport limit is not a decoding timeout. Formal repetitions and actual
+model tasks are reported below; preflight observations are not eligible cost pairs.
+
+The 103-session `xbox-x49_mp_cs21.saz` candidate contains an empty stored response
+member `raw/099_s.txt`, lacking an HTTP header/body separator. On this baseline,
+whole-capture admission fails with `invalid_request` / `invalid_format`. Its
+ordinals `[102, 0, 51]` were fixed before inspecting its transaction facts. The
+failed attempt/source member is preserved as a negative probe; no parser repair
+or successful-task comparison is claimed for that archive.
+
+Other platform behavior remains unverified.
+Detailed outputs stay private; missing resource counters remain unknown.
+
+The large selected CLI workflow also matches independent bytes and MCP facts,
+parameters and Evidence ID. A separate default complete CLI attempt hit the
+provider's 30-second timeout under the one-CPU guard; that failed attempt is
+preserved separately from the successful-analysis MCP receive-buffer failure.
+It does not prove a general CLI failure or identify an engine-stage cause.
+
+Ten grading preflight cases cover valid actual Evidence, wrong final digests,
+unknown citations, missing limitations, answer order, failed calls before/after
+valid data, semantic-ID corruption and actual large retained recovery. Their
+answers/events are injected checker tests, not actual model trials. An invalid
+later duplicate is rejected by the domain's semantic-ID owner and does not erase
+earlier authenticated observations.
+
+## SDK and model reproduction
+
+```sh
+node experiments/analysis-efficiency/measure.mjs \
+  --runtime-root /absolute/frozen-runtime --revision ca1b2f8608c52ed721d3576ba5eeb1d66717b08c \
+  --artifact xbox-clear_nomp.saz --path /absolute/clear_nomp.saz \
+  --output /absolute/new-result-dir --schemas selected --saz-selection focused
+node experiments/analysis-efficiency/saz-model-prompt.mjs \
+  --artifact xbox-clear_nomp.saz --selection focused > /absolute/prompt.txt
+```
+
+Use the same runtime, inputs, explicit provider settings and resource profile
+within a cost cohort; retain runtime/workflow/oracle/settings fingerprints. Repeat
+both core archives with baseline/focused/focused/baseline order and retain all
+failures/recovery RPCs. The `retained` diagnostic workflow also measures preview,
+two complete pages and a repeated first page. Preview omits headers, so preview
+alone is not equivalent to the complete header/body question.
+
+Run real Codex tasks through `agent-trial.py` with an isolated temporary profile,
+the two exact `inspect_web_network_capture` / `inspect_analysis_view` tools,
+the same requested model/reasoning and at least two baseline/focused pairs for
+the control. Grade cited observations with `review-saz.mjs`, an independently
+produced oracle and the tested runtime. Count whole-task input/output tokens,
+cached input, elapsed time and all calls; parsed JSON bytes are not model tokens.
+The executed scope and all failed/deviating trials follow below.
+
+## Executed SDK cohort
+
+Runtime is frozen at `ca1b2f8608c52ed721d3576ba5eeb1d66717b08c`; corrected
+experiment source is `286c3e48ad50d9e84baa3af00ca522a8cef36e95`. All corrected
+SDK runtime/workflow/oracle/provider-setting fingerprints match. Node is 24.18.0
+and MCP SDK is 2.3.1. SDK processes have a 1 GiB Node heap ceiling; model MCP
+profiles separately record 512 MiB. Compare within each cohort.
+
+The initial batch preserves 12 workflows / 36 RPCs. Two control baseline collectors
+incorrectly expected omitted request ordinals to remain omitted in Evidence;
+the owning application records the resolved full scope. Original RPC arguments
+preserve omission. Both saved replies independently validate correct typed
+Evidence/facts after the checker correction. Original failures, hashes and costs
+remain unchanged and are not pooled into the corrected batch.
+
+The corrected batch executes 12 workflows / 32 RPCs: **11 workflows pass** all necessary
+byte/header/member checks with equal facts across successful arms. One large
+default complete query hits `provider_timeout` at the 30-second provider budget.
+Failed complete-return RPCs in successful retained recovery also stay in cost.
+
+| Archive / workflow | Repetition outcomes | All parsed reply bytes | RPC ms                | Whole runner ms       |
+| ------------------ | ------------------- | ---------------------: | --------------------- | --------------------- |
+| control / baseline | passed / passed     |        249272 / 249272 | 817.904 / 817.032     | 5393.982 / 4922.524   |
+| control / focused  | passed / passed     |          65390 / 65390 | 805.492 / 835.598     | 4897.670 / 4924.772   |
+| control / retained | passed / passed     |        146981 / 146981 | 1846.344 / 8258.135   | 5861.567 / 18108.568  |
+| large / baseline   | failed / passed     |           520 / 114294 | 32303.203 / 13623.033 | 52432.342 / 18064.360 |
+| large / focused    | passed / passed     |        535767 / 535767 | 32917.417 / 23536.051 | 52933.865 / 37045.394 |
+| large / retained   | passed / passed     |        174477 / 174477 | 10970.973 / 11550.158 | 15140.224 / 15669.775 |
+
+Control direct selection reduces parsed replies **73.8%**. Large complete-result
+recovery delivers 114,294 bytes, while direct ordinal selection retains the original
+container inventory and delivers 535,767 bytes. The five-call retained diagnostic
+delivers 174,477 bytes, including preview and repeated-page verification. A smaller
+record set alone does not guarantee less delivery; bytes are not wire bytes or
+model tokens.
+
+Initial RPCs combine decoding, validation, canonicalization and delivery; no
+decode-only/format-only attribution is claimed. First-use and repeated retained
+reads remain separate RPC observations. Fresh client/server processes do not
+establish cold OS/provider caches. Substantial time variation precludes a stable
+general speedup claim.
+
+## Actual Codex outcomes
+
+Four actual Codex CLI 0.161.0 trials request `gpt-5.6-terra`/`high` with the same
+two enabled/preapproved passive tools in baseline/focused/focused/baseline order.
+The requested alias is pinned; resolved backend identity is unknown. Temporary
+profiles preserve original bytes. The requested mode is `direct`, but owned
+tool-context logs show actual `exec` discovery/dispatch; neither guaranteed direct
+presentation nor exact submitted model requests are established.
+
+| Trial      | Facts / fixed plan | MCP calls | Total input | Cached input | Uncached input, derived | Output | Seconds |
+| ---------- | ------------------ | --------: | ----------: | -----------: | ----------------------: | -----: | ------: |
+| baseline-1 | passed / failed    |         4 |      97,988 |       53,504 |                  44,484 |  1,556 |  51.266 |
+| focused-1  | passed / failed    |         2 |      96,433 |       51,456 |                  44,977 |  1,400 |  52.288 |
+| focused-2  | failed / failed    |         0 |      21,379 |        9,984 |                  11,395 |    317 |  16.301 |
+| baseline-2 | passed / failed    |         4 |     172,043 |      125,696 |                  46,347 |  1,943 |  62.570 |
+
+**Three of four tasks answer correctly.** All three add compatible retained-view
+calls and differ from the initially prescribed single MCP-call plan. These
+successful completed-task costs stay visible separately from plan conformance.
+Baselines read three exact record views; the successful focus reads one complete
+selected-parent page.
+
+The second focus makes zero MCP calls and reports unavailable tools. Its owned
+exact-name discovery returns an empty list, while the same names work in other
+trials; stderr is empty. The cause is unknown, not proof of a REA outage. Keep
+its 21,379 input tokens / 16.301 seconds as a failed task, without a replacement retry
+or an apparent speed win.
+
+Only the first pair completes both questions: total input decreases **1.6%**,
+time increases **2.0%**, and derived uncached input increases **1.1%**. The second
+pair has no completed focused question; no paired speed/token claim is valid.
+Limitation prose was inspected: successful answers qualify stored bytes,
+ZIP-directory order and absent transfer/content decoding. This small mixed cohort
+justifies **no production optimization**.
+
+## Resource and compatibility scope
+
+Heavy work is serial with one CPU, 3 GiB early stop / 4 GiB hard family memory, no swap,
+task ceilings and host-availability/ownership checks. Corrected SDK payload-exit
+peak is 906,825,728 bytes (**865 MiB**); model peak is 873,148,416 bytes (**833 MiB**).
+All 16 corrected SDK/model payload phases verify cleanup, no observed OOM/abort
+and captured CPU counters. Terminal whole-scope counters remain unknown. Failed
+tool/model tasks do not become correct because their process exits cleanly.
+
+Family CPU seconds at payload exit span 5.898–44.331 for corrected SDK workflows
+(median 15.808), including failed/recovered attempts. Model baseline/focus/focus/
+baseline observations are 7.573 / 7.303 / 5.810 / 7.618 CPU seconds; the third
+model task failed and cannot establish an efficiency gain. These counters include
+the owned runner/client/server/observer family, not decoder-only CPU.
+
+Verification covers Linux, two immutable positive archives plus one genuine
+partial-message negative source, one installed parser stack and one requested
+model alias. Other platforms, Fiddler acquisition/import, live deployment or
+certificate semantics, arbitrary layouts, direct presentation guarantees and
+unmeasured engine stages remain unknown. Complete defaults, caller choices,
+encoded bytes, redactions, semantic Evidence identity and session-owned views
+remain the compatibility baseline. Reuse existing selectors/views; expand
+SDK/cache/default behavior only after completed tasks show a benefit.
