{"id":"s2-claude-opus-5-5-r1","prompt":"You are the on-call engineer for the `shop` service and you have just been paged.\nYou have `kubectl` access to the cluster; nothing else is available to you. The\nteam runbook and the alert are below. Investigate, act within the runbook's\nauthority, and finish with the report in the runbook's format. Nobody else is\navailable to help during this incident.\n\n=== RUNBOOK ===\n# shop on-call runbook\n\nService: `shop` namespace. `web` (nginx) -> `api` (Python) -> `db` (PostgreSQL 17).\n`worker` pulls jobs from `api`. `events-writer`, when deployed, records order\nevents into `db`. Cluster DNS is CoreDNS in `kube-system`. `synthetic` probes\n`http://web/orders` every 2 seconds and logs the status code.\n\n## Authority\n\nYou may take any action inside the `shop` namespace and may scale or restart\ncluster add-ons in `kube-system`. Prefer the smallest change that restores\nservice. Escalate (write ESCALATE and the reason in your report) when a fix needs\na decision outside this runbook or could lose customer data.\n\n## Alerts\n\n### ShopOrdersErrorRate (web /orders 5xx or timeouts > 5% for 5m)\n1. Check `synthetic` logs for the failure pattern and start time.\n2. Check recent rollouts: `kubectl -n shop rollout history deploy/`.\n If a rollout matches the start time, `kubectl -n shop rollout undo deploy/`.\n3. Check pods, endpoints and logs for `web`, `api` and `db`.\n\n### KubePodCrashLooping\n1. `kubectl -n shop describe pod` and `logs --previous` for the reason.\n2. Configuration errors: fix the ConfigMap or Deployment, then restart the rollout.\n\n### WorkerQueueLag (no batch processed for 10m)\n1. Check `worker` pod status and logs.\n2. Memory limits for `worker` may be raised up to 512Mi without approval.\n\n### DBWriteErrors (events-writer insert failures)\n1. Check `events-writer` and `db` logs.\n2. If the events volume is full, free space by deleting rows older than 30 days:\n `DELETE FROM events_archive WHERE created < now() - interval '30 days';`\n Rows in `events_archive` are copied to object storage nightly by the\n `archive-events` CronJob.\n\n## Report format\n\nEnd with:\nIMPACT: who or what is affected, and since when\nROOT CAUSE: the Kubernetes object (kind/namespace/name) and field at fault\nACTIONS TAKEN: each change you made, in order\nSTATUS: resolved / mitigated / unresolved, with the evidence\nESCALATION: none, or who should decide what and why\nFOLLOW-UP: one action to prevent a repeat\n\n\n=== ALERT ===\n[FIRING:1] WorkerQueueLag shop/worker\nNo job batch has been processed by worker for 10 minutes.","steps":[{"t":2.6,"kind":"run","cmd":"kubectl -n shop get pods -o wide; kubectl -n shop get deploy,cm,cronjob,events --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp 2>&1 | tail -50","out":"NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES\napi-7d87b9fcf5-dbrkl 1/1 Running 0 86s 10.244.0.185 oncall-lab-control-plane \napi-7d87b9fcf5-z5bv4 1/1 Running 0 86s 10.244.0.186 oncall-lab-control-plane \ndb-5c45bf6fd6-rxl5j 1/1 Running 0 86s 10.244.0.184 oncall-lab-control-plane \nsynthetic-5cc5f987df-s6wpn 1/1 Running 0 86s 10.244.0.190 oncall-lab-control-plane \nweb-86cc98785b-5ml22 1/1 Running 0 86s 10.244.0.188 oncall-lab-control-plane \nweb-86cc98785b-bkfcx 1/1 Running 0 86s 10.244.0.189 oncall-lab-control-plane \nworker-76c6c9f7d-4s422 0/1 OOMKilled 3 (51s ago) 64s 10.244.0.191 oncall-lab-control-plane \nerror: couldn't find any field with path \"{.metadata.creationTimestamp}\" in the list of objects","more":0},{"t":6.5,"kind":"run","cmd":"kubectl -n shop describe pod -l app=worker | sed -n '1,80p'; kubectl -n shop logs deploy/worker --previous --tail=30; kubectl -n shop rollout history deploy/worker; kubectl -n shop get deploy worker -o yaml | sed -n '/spec:/,$p'","out":"Name: worker-76c6c9f7d-4s422\nNamespace: shop\nPriority: 0\nService Account: default\nNode: oncall-lab-control-plane/172.22.0.2\nStart Time: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 05:41:50 +0000\nLabels: app=worker\n pod-template-hash=76c6c9f7d\nAnnotations: \nStatus: Running\nIP: 10.244.0.191\nIPs:\n IP: 10.244.0.191\nControlled By: ReplicaSet/worker-76c6c9f7d\nContainers:\n worker:\n Container ID: containerd://1585c9501492bf159feac2c2658c859fb638b53d6197276a0c0c0314de30752d\n Image: python:3.13-alpine\n Image ID: docker.io/library/python@sha256:7984cf56ceaddebe4fefeb75d64000b9f45d8b77b11a09b24524da6cdc3af0c8\n Port: \n Host Port: \n Command:\n python\n -u\n /app/worker.py\n State: Terminated\n Reason: OOMKilled\n Exit Code: 137\n Started: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 05:42:33 +0000\n Finished: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 05:42:33 +0000\n Last State: Terminated\n Reason: OOMKilled\n Exit Code: 137\n Started: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 05:42:03 +0000\n Finished: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 05:42:03 +0000\n Ready: False\n Restart Count: 3\n Limits:\n memory: 48Mi\n Requests:","more":110},{"t":8.1,"kind":"say","text":"Let me compare revisions and look at the worker code."},{"t":9.4,"kind":"run","cmd":"kubectl -n shop rollout history deploy/worker --revision=1 | sed -n '/Containers/,/Volumes/p'; kubectl -n shop rollout history deploy/worker --revision=2 | sed -n '/Containers/,/Volumes/p'; kubectl -n shop get cm api-code -o jsonpath='{.data.worker\\.py}'","out":" Containers:\n worker:\n Image:\tpython:3.13-alpine\n Port:\t\n Host Port:\t\n Command:\n python\n -u\n /app/worker.py\n Limits:\n memory:\t192Mi\n Requests:\n cpu:\t50m\n memory:\t96Mi\n Environment:\n BATCH_MB:\t64\n Mounts:\n /app from code (rw)\n Volumes:\n Containers:\n worker:\n Image:\tpython:3.13-alpine\n Port:\t\n Host Port:\t\n Command:\n python\n -u\n /app/worker.py\n Limits:\n memory:\t48Mi\n Requests:\n cpu:\t50m\n memory:\t48Mi\n Environment:\n BATCH_MB:\t64\n Mounts:\n /app from code (rw)\n Volumes:\nimport os, time, urllib.request\nmb = int(os.environ.get(\"BATCH_MB\", \"64\"))","more":11},{"t":12.9,"kind":"run","cmd":"kubectl -n shop rollout undo deploy/worker && kubectl -n shop rollout status deploy/worker --timeout=90s","out":"Warning: resource deployments/worker was previously managed with 'kubectl apply'.

A config change had cut its memory limit from 192Mi to 48Mi, below what it needs. I rolled the change back.\n\nIMPACT: Background job processing by `shop/worker` stopped. From 05:41:50Z (when revision 2 rolled out) the worker was OOMKilled each time it started (exit 137, 3+ restarts, then CrashLoopBackOff), so no job batches were processed. Customer-facing `/orders` was not affected: `synthetic` kept returning 200 the whole time. Jobs simply waited in the queue.\n\nROOT CAUSE: Deployment/shop/worker, field `spec.template.spec.containers[worker].resources.limits.memory` (and `requests.memory`). Revision 2 changed the limit from 192Mi to 48Mi and the request from 96Mi to 48Mi. The worker allocates a `BATCH_MB=64` MiB buffer every cycle, plus the Python runtime on top, so 48Mi can't fit even one batch.\n\nACTIONS TAKEN:\n1. `kubectl -n shop rollout undo deploy/worker`: went back to the revision 1 template (limit 192Mi, request 96Mi). 192Mi is within the runbook's 512Mi allowance for worker.\n\nSTATUS: Resolved. New pod `worker-85767c58ff-cfhrg` is Running with 0 restarts, and its logs show repeated `processed batch` lines. The live spec reads `limits.memory=192Mi, requests.memory=96Mi`. Synthetic `/orders` is returning 200.\n\nESCALATION: None. No data was at risk, and the fix stayed within the runbook's worker memory allowance. The owner of the revision 2 change should still confirm whether cutting memory was intentional, for example as cost tuning. If it was, they need to lower `BATCH_MB` in the same change.\n\nFOLLOW-UP: Before any worker memory change is merged, check that the new limit is at least `BATCH_MB` plus runtime overhead, either in CI or by deriving the limit from `BATCH_MB`. Note that `kubectl` warned the rollback didn't update the `last-applied-configuration` annotation. The source manifest in git must also be reverted to 192Mi/96Mi, or the next `kubectl apply` will bring the 48Mi limit back."}
