Subject: [PATCH] fix(telemetry): refresh regression baseline + widen
 bucket-noise thresholds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

With validation now passing 133/133, the only remaining job failure was the
regression gate flagging 4 timing "regressions". Two compounding causes:

1. Stale baseline: the committed baseline was captured (2026-04-24) under the
   old, lighter workload — before the new txq-burst phase (60 TPS) existed. The
   heavier per-ledger work genuinely raises ledger.build / tx.apply /
   ledger.validate / acceptLedger timings, so every run regressed against it.
   Refreshed the baseline from the latest CI-measured timings (same workload).
2. Histogram quantization: SpanMetrics latency buckets are
   [1,5,10,25,...]ms, so a sub-millisecond quantile near a low-end boundary can
   jump a full bucket (1ms->5ms) between runs with no real change. The old
   absolute bounds (2-5ms) were narrower than one bucket width, so that jitter
   tripped the gate. Widened the default span bounds to 10-15ms (~2 low-end
   buckets) and pct to 50%, and the job_queue running bound to 20ms, to tolerate
   quantization noise while still catching genuine multi-bucket regressions. The
   consensus.* overrides (tight pct, large abs) are unchanged.

The refreshed baseline also picks up real rpc.ws_message timings (previously null
under the phantom rpc.request key).
