LLM Client Timeout (20 %) + +| Attribute | Detail | +|-----------|--------| +| **Trigger** | `TimeoutError` raised inside `BaseLLMClient.complete()` | +| **Probability** | 20 % of all `complete()` invocations | +| **Root causes** | Network congestion · OpenAI / Gemini API rate-limit · Model inference latency spike | + +#### What happens without resilience + +The unhandled `TimeoutError` propagates up through `_call_llm()` → +`_tick()` → `run()` and crashes the pipeline coroutine, leaving the user +with no guidance for the rest of the session. + +#### Recovery strategy implemented + +```python +# core/pipeline (ExecraPipeline._call_llm) +try: + raw = await self.llm_client.complete(prompt) + return self._make_instruction(raw, confidence=0.85, source="llm") +except TimeoutError as exc: + self._log_error("llm_timeout", str(exc), step=self._step) + # Graceful degradation: deterministic fallback instruction + return self._make_instruction( + "LLM unavailable — continue with last known safe action.", + confidence=0.30, # ← marked degraded + source="fallback", + ) +``` + +Recovery steps in order: + +1. **Catch** `TimeoutError` inside `_call_llm()`; never let it escape. +2. **Log** a structured `{"kind": "llm_timeout", ...}` entry. +3. **Return** a fallback `GuidanceInstruction` with `confidence < 0.5` so + callers (and the trust scorer) know the output is degraded. +4. The `@retry(max_retries=3, base_delay=2)` decorator on the real + `BaseLLMClient.complete()` already retries transient failures before the + chaos wrapper ever sees them; the fallback only fires if all retries fail. + +--- + +### 2. Redis Cache Miss (50 %) + +| Attribute | Detail | +|-----------|--------| +| **Trigger** | `redis.get()` returns `None` | +| **Probability** | 50 % of reads | +| **Root causes** | Cache cold-start · TTL expiry · Redis node restart · Eviction under memory pressure | + +#### What happens without resilience + +A cache miss is not an error per se, but if the pipeline treats `None` as +authoritative (i.e. never falls through to the LLM), guidance is silently +omitted for half of all ticks. + +#### Recovery strategy implemented + +```python +async def _tick(self) -> None: + frame_text = await self._drain_perception_queue() + cached = await self._redis_get(cache_key) + + if cached is not None: + instruction = cached # fast path + else: + instruction = await self._call_llm(frame_text) # slow path fallback +``` + +The pipeline treats Redis as a **read-through cache**, not a source of truth. +A miss simply falls through to a fresh LLM call. Redis errors (connection +refused, timeout) are also caught in `_redis_get()` and logged as +`{"kind": "redis_get", ...}` before falling through to the LLM. + +**Additional hardening recommendations:** + +- Set a short `socket_timeout` (e.g. 200 ms) on the Redis client so a + slow node does not stall the tick loop. +- Use `redis.asyncio` with `retry_on_timeout=True` for automatic reconnect. +- Consider a local in-process LRU cache (`functools.lru_cache` or + `cachetools.TTLCache`) as a secondary layer between Redis and the LLM. + +--- + +### 3. Perception Frame Drop (30 %) + +| Attribute | Detail | +|-----------|--------| +| **Trigger** | `asyncio.Queue.put()` / `put_nowait()` silently discards the frame | +| **Probability** | 30 % of enqueued frames | +| **Root causes** | Camera hardware stall · `mss` screenshot throttling · OS scheduler jitter · Queue back-pressure | + +#### What happens without resilience + +If the pipeline blocks waiting for a frame that was dropped, the tick loop +stalls indefinitely and guidance delivery stops. + +#### Recovery strategy implemented + +```python +async def _drain_perception_queue(self) -> str: + texts: list[str] = [] + while True: + try: + frame = self.perception_queue.get_nowait() + texts.append(frame.get("text", "")) + except asyncio.QueueEmpty: + break + return " ".join(texts) if texts else "no frame data" # ← never blocks +``` + +Key design choices: + +- **Non-blocking drain** via `get_nowait()` — if the queue is empty (because + all recent frames were dropped) the pipeline tick continues with + `"no frame data"` as the context string. +- The LLM prompt still executes, producing guidance based on session context + rather than the current frame. Confidence is not penalised for missing + frames — the LLM is expected to handle thin context gracefully. +- The `PerceptionBus` producers (`ScreenCapture`, `CameraFeed`) already run + in background threads at a configurable FPS (`SCREEN_CAPTURE_FPS`), so + the next frame arrives within one FPS interval even after a run of drops. + +--- + +### 4. Combined / Cascading Faults + +When all three fault types fire in the same tick (probability ≈ 0.20 × 0.50 × +0.30 = 3 %): + +| Phase | Fault | Recovery | +|-------|-------|----------| +| Perception | Frame dropped | `_drain_perception_queue` returns `"no frame data"` | +| Cache | Redis miss | Falls through to LLM | +| LLM | TimeoutError | Returns fallback instruction (`confidence=0.30`) | + +The pipeline still delivers a guidance instruction — degraded, but present. +No exception propagates to the caller. + +--- + +## Degraded-Mode Behaviour + +The pipeline communicates degradation through the `confidence` field of +`GuidanceInstruction`: + +| Mode | `confidence` range | `source` field | Meaning | +|------|--------------------|----------------|---------| +| Normal | `≥ 0.50` | `["llm"]` | Fresh LLM response | +| LLM timeout fallback | `0.30` | `["fallback"]` | Static safe-action message | +| LLM error fallback | `0.20` | `["fallback"]` | Generic caution message | + +Downstream consumers (dashboard, WebSocket clients) should: + +1. Check `confidence < 0.5` before auto-applying guidance. +2. Display a visual indicator (e.g. amber badge) when `source == ["fallback"]`. +3. Optionally suppress fallback guidance if `confidence < 0.25` and the + previous instruction was delivered within the last 5 seconds. + +The `TrustScorer` already uses `llm_confidence` as input; passing the +`confidence` field directly keeps the trust pipeline consistent. + +--- + +## Observability + +Every subsystem failure is recorded in `pipeline.error_log` as a plain +`dict` with guaranteed keys: + +```python +{ + "kind" : "llm_timeout", # or "llm_error", "redis_get" + "message": "", + "step" : 42, # pipeline tick number + # optional extra context keys (e.g. "key" for redis_get) +} +``` + +All entries are also emitted at `WARNING` level via Python's standard +`logging` module under the logger name `execra.chaos` (test-visible) and +`ExecraPipeline` (production).
