Adversarial validation of the previous commit found one of its two code fixes
was diagnosed wrongly and the other incomplete. Both are corrected here, along
with the layers the first pass missed.
1. The new dial outcome was named for the wrong condition. It was added as
`duplicate` on the belief that PeerFinder had already granted a slot for the
address. It has not: `Logic::onConnected` contains exactly ONE false-returning
path and it is the self-connect check, which logs "Logic dropping as self
connect" (include/xrpl/peerfinder/detail/Logic.h). The duplicate check lives
in `newOutboundSlot`, evaluated before a ConnectAttempt exists, so a real
duplicate can never reach this branch.
That mattered beyond the name: the previous commit told operators the outcome
was benign churn to ignore, when it actually reports a local misconfiguration
-- this node has its own address in [ips_fixed] or behind its advertised
endpoint, and every dial to it is wasted. Renamed to `self_connection`,
reusing the slug `handshake_negotiation_fail_total` already publishes for the
same fault so it reads identically on both signals, and every description
corrected to say so. The fail() string now reads "Self connection" too.
The first pass also missed three enforcement and contract sites: the
ConnectAttempt.h Doxygen state machine (which still mapped the slot branch
onto tls_fail), the LedgerSpanNames unit test (which pinned exactly five
values over a std::array<..., 5> and so left the new member untested), and the
span-derived twin panel plus two reference docs that still published the old
five-value domain.
2. The credential-free site label was incomplete twice over.
- It appended the port, and `Resource::Resource` DEFAULTS that to 443/https
and 80/http when the config omits one. The label would have become
`https://vl.ripple.com:443/` where Grafana Cloud currently holds
`https://vl.ripple.com`, silently renaming the series for every deployment
already scraping this metric. Verified against live label values before and
after; the port is now omitted.
- parseUrl's path group is `(/.*)?`, greedy to end of string, so a query or
fragment lands inside `path`. A list URL authenticated by `?token=...` would
have leaked exactly as userinfo did. The path is now truncated at the first
'?' or '#'.
Also updated the MetricNames.h usage example, which still taught the raw-URI
pattern to the next author, and the 09-doc row that described the label as the
configured URI.
3. Rule J hardening from the same review: `classify_instrument_kind` returns an
`other` sentinel for a non-factory macro, and storing it in the kind set could
render a future conflict as "created as counter and other". The sentinel is
now skipped, keeping it doing what it already did -- matching no shape rule.
Added a second regression test whose input the pre-fix code reported as CLEAN
(gauge-then-histogram on a `_us` name), so the guard is proven by a 0-vs-1
difference and not only by a changed message. Both new tests were run against
a reconstructed last-wins implementation and both fail against it.
Documented the conflict class in the Rule J rows of the checker README and
CONTRIBUTING, which previously described only the suffix conventions.
Verified: naming checker exits 0 with Rule J passing all 40 real names; 140
checker tests pass; 15 dashboards validate; both workload JSON files parse;
clang-tidy over the full compile database reports no finding on any changed line
of ConnectAttempt.cpp or ValidatorSite.cpp; pre-commit passes.
Not verified: not compiled. The label change adds string truncation and the
outcome rename touches a constexpr used across three translation units, so CI's
build remains the first real check on both.

nodestore_latency published six values that nodestore_state already
publishes from the same Database accessors, so the two gauges were
duplicate readings of the same atomics:
write_count -> node_writes getStoreCount()
read_count -> node_reads_total getFetchTotalCount()
write_duration_us -> node_writes_duration_us getStoreDurationUs()
read_duration_us -> node_reads_duration_us getFetchDurationUs()
write_mean_us -> write_mean_us store duration / count
read_mean_us -> read_mean_us fetch duration / count
nodestore_state is kept because its means go through scaledMean(), which
saturates at INT64_MAX instead of wrapping and omits a mean when the
denominator is zero rather than reporting a misleading 0 us.
Removes registerNodeStoreLatencyGauge, its instrument member, the
metric::nodestoreLatency constant and the lval::nodestore_latency label
namespace. The gauge-over-histogram rationale and the "p99 is not
obtainable" consequence are folded into observeNodeStoreTotals' docs.
Retargets the gauge-contract test onto nodestore_state rather than
deleting it: the scaledMean arithmetic is covered by the static_asserts
in tests/libxrpl/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.cpp, but nothing else asserts
that these named series multiplex onto one instrument keyed by `metric`.
The test now calls the production scaledMean instead of a copy of the
division, and its sub-microsecond case asserts scaledMean's actual
behaviour (a genuine mean of 0 on a zero numerator with a non-zero
count), which differs from the retired gauge's extra numerator guard.
Rewrites both ledger-sync-health copies' panel 38/39 queries and drops
the obsolete claim that the write numerator was never written: all three
concrete store paths call recordStoreDuration, so write_mean_us is live
on an ordinary node. The same stale [import_db] caveat is removed from
the runbook, the 09 reference row and the workload validator's note.
Metric names and label keys were bare string literals, repeated across the
emit site, the gauge registration, the unit test, the workload manifest, the
dashboard queries and the reference table. A rename touched six places and a
typo in any one of them failed silently: a metric that never appears, or a
label that never joins.
The span side already had this right, with names and attribute keys declared
once in the *SpanNames.h headers and a CI rule rejecting literals at call
sites. That rule only ever covered spans, so the metric side had no
equivalent and no suffix convention was enforced by anything.
- Adds MetricNames.h declaring every instrument name, label key and bounded
label value this story emits, grouped by subsystem, following the existing
span-name header layout.
- Converts the call sites subsystem by subsystem. The emitted strings are
unchanged: 75 names before, the same 75 after, verified by extracting the
wire strings from both trees and diffing the sets.
- Extends the naming check with three rules: no literal instrument name or
label key at an emit site, the duration and counter suffix conventions,
and every name in the workload manifest resolving to a constant. The
first rule is ratcheted per metric family so the pre-existing families
warn rather than block, keeping the remaining work visible instead of
forcing one unreviewable change.
Constants are character arrays rather than the span headers' StaticStr,
because the metrics API takes a string view that will not construct from it.
Two things the conversion exposed: a serve-refusal reason that the original
inventory missed because it is passed through a ternary, and a label whose
constant made it invisible to the checker's literal scan, which would have
failed a dashboard rule.

rootSpan has the same (cat, prefix, name) signature as span(), so its
prefix/name arguments must be *SpanNames.h constants under Rule F/H. Add
rootSpan to the CALLSITE regex and CONSTANT_ARG_POSITIONS ({1,2}), update
the enumerating docstrings/README, and add two regression tests.

Rule A silently missed a dotted span attribute (xrpl.ledger.hash) because of
two interacting bugs:
1. attr_keys_from_header resolved each constant via a flat global symbol table
keyed by bare name, so a later header defining a same-named constant (e.g.
consensus attr::ledgerHash = "ledger_hash") clobbered the base header's
attr::ledgerHash = "xrpl.ledger.hash", erasing the real dotted key from L1.
Now each constant is resolved against its own header (the global table only
seeds seg::/join() cross-file references); using-re-exports still resolve
globally.
2. derive_dotted_resource_keys allowlisted any dotted key declared in the base
SpanNames.h. Now it allowlists only the keys actually passed to
Resource::Create() in Telemetry.cpp (semconv service.* + the attr:: constants
set there, e.g. xrpl.network.*). A dotted key declared in a header but never
set as a resource attr is a Rule-A violation.
Adds 4 regression tests (collision, using-re-export, allowlist scope, brace
matching). No allowlist exception is added — the check now catches the
violation so the offending code can be fixed.
Phase 9 surfaced two Rule D gaps (false positives, not data errors):
- TraceQL `span.<attr>` / `resource.<attr>` references: the bare attribute is
in L1, but the scope-prefixed form was flagged. Now strip the
span./resource./event./link/instrumentation_scope. prefix before the L1
lookup.
- Native OTel metric labels (e.g. `job_type`, `reason`) emitted by
MetricsRegistry are valid dashboard labels but are not span attributes. Add
an L6 source: parse `Add(.., {{"label", ...}})` instrument calls and accept
those label keys alongside L1 and builtins.
Verified against phase-9's real dashboards: 6 prior false positives -> 0.
79 tests (7 new for span-prefix stripping and metric-label extraction).

Three robustness fixes to check_otel_naming.py, all on phase-1c where the
script lives:
- Rule F now runs UNCONDITIONALLY. It is a purely syntactic check on the
call-sites and does not need the L1 key set, so code that calls
SpanGuard::span/setAttribute directly without ever defining a *SpanNames.h
is still caught (previously it was silently skipped when no header existed).
- Exempt test files from Rule F (tests pass arbitrary literal keys to exercise
the API). The call-site matcher now requires a SpanGuard/`.`/`->` receiver,
so std::span and bare declarations no longer false-positive.
- Add Rule H (warning, non-fatal): a namespace-qualified constant used at a
telemetry call-site but not defined in any *SpanNames.h is flagged, catching
constants defined in-place instead of in the proper header. Bare locals and
std:: names are not warned to avoid noise.
SpanGuard.h / Telemetry.h @code examples updated to reference constants that
exist on this branch. README documents the new behavior.

Add Rule G to check_otel_naming.py: every span-attribute key must be
lower_snake_case (^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$ per dot-separated segment). This catches
camelCase, UPPERCASE, and spaces in keys, which the structural (dotted) and
source (literal) rules did not. Document it in the script README and
CONTRIBUTING.md.

Add check_otel_naming.py and wire it into on-pr.yml so every PR validates
that span-attribute names stay consistent across the code, collector, Tempo,
dashboards, and docs.
- The valid key set is derived dynamically from the *SpanNames.h constants and
the resource attributes the code registers in Telemetry.cpp — no hardcoded
allowlist to drift.
- Each rule is presence-gated: it runs only when the file it needs is in the
tree, so the check is correct whether telemetry changes land in one PR or
several (the collector/Tempo/dashboard/runbook layers arrive in later phases).
- Rule A flags dotted span-attribute keys; Rule F flags string-literal
attribute keys and span-name arguments (values may be runtime data).
- stdlib-only, mirroring the levelization check (bare `python`, no pip step).
- Telemetry.h / SpanGuard.h @code examples now use *SpanNames.h constants so
the strict literal check passes.
- CONTRIBUTING.md documents the check and how to run it locally.
