  alert rules referencing the canonical metric names.
- RUNBOOK with per-alert triage + Failure mode inventory table that
  references each pinning test.
- FAILURE-MODES.md row + Alert→RUNBOOK index entries.

alert-check now reports 3 RUNBOOK ↔ alerts.yaml pairs.

Closes two §M10 acceptance gaps:

- pattern_consumer_test.go: compile-time gate that pins the
  Record / ObjectRef field set and the AttrEvent* / SchemaURL
  constants M19's pod-evicted detector imports. A rename surfaces
  at compile time, not as a runtime "detector silently sees zero
  matches" regression weeks later.
- rusage_linux_test.go (//go:build linux): exercises the §M10
  "≤10 MB RSS after 1k Events" NFR via syscall.Getrusage delta.
  Skipped on darwin (Maxrss unit divergence); CI is Linux.

make ci stays clean (17s wallclock); coverage holds at 73.0% on
the receiver package.

…ubbed milestone vocab

Addresses critical and notable items from the multi-lens PR #32 review:

- Drop dead RBAC core/v1 events grant (informer reads
  events.k8s.io/v1 exclusively); tighten negative-invariant test;
  regenerate golden.
- Harden cluster-singleton Deployment: PriorityClass
  `system-cluster-critical`, terminationGracePeriodSeconds, exec
  readiness + liveness probes against `tracecore receivers list`,
  sibling PodDisruptionBudget (`minAvailable: 1`) to block voluntary
  disruption. README documents the involuntary-disruption gap.
- Promote Hint to a named type (`type Hint string`) with 11
  exported constants (HintPodEvicted, HintOOMKilled, …) so
  downstream pattern detectors get compile-time switch
  exhaustiveness on case labels. HintForReason returns the typed
  value; Record.Hint is the typed field.
- Reorder populateAttributes precedence so EventTime + SeriesCount
  land before the optional ReportingController/Action/Type/Note
  block. Doc comment now matches implementation; misconfigured low
  MaxAttributes drops the bulky payload, not the correlation keys.
- Replace AttrEventTime separator drift (`event_time` → `event.time`)
  for consistency with the rest of the dotted attribute namespace.
- Add `note_max_bytes` config (64–4096) so operators can cap PII
  surface; `Event.Note` is truncated before it lands as Body AND
  AttrNote.
- Add `channel_cap` upper bound (`1 << 20`) so a typo cannot allocate
  the channel into swap territory.
- Refactor `Config.Validate` into four sub-validators
  (validateTimings/Filters/Limits/Namespaces) for cyclomatic
  budget — no behavioural change.
- Scrub milestone-internal vocabulary (`§M10`, `MILESTONES.md §M10`,
  "this PR") from package-level godoc, RUNBOOK, factory.go,
  rbac.yaml, receiver and test comments. The receiver is alpha-
  stability; milestone IDs belong in commit bodies / RFCs / the
  FOLLOWUPS index, not the user-facing surface.
- Expand RUNBOOK with First-15-minutes triage scaffolding and
  Symptom sections for `ErrAmbiguousAuth` and "started but zero
  events" failure modes.
- README: schema-versioning policy section (additive fields don't
  bump SchemaURL; renames/removals do); auth-resolution table row
  now matches the actual priority order; note_max_bytes documented.
- docs/FOLLOWUPS.md: capture the 11 deferred items from the
  Pass-1 review (cross-receiver alert/M2 reconciliation, type-
  naming, README structural expansion, bench-shape fix, EventTime
  provenance, Related field, SchemaURLv0 constant, namespace
  consistency check, kubeconfig path validation, alloc/goroutine
  micro-opts).

Disagreed-with (with rationale, not implemented):
- `SeriesCount int32 → int`: mirrors wire type intentionally;
  conversion is a no-op cost and the wire-type signal is helpful.
- `Note in Body AND AttrNote`: kept the dual-write; README now
  documents this as deliberate, not a parenthetical.
- `tracecore_receiver_degraded` metric/label fix: kernelevents
  has the same shape — repo-wide convention awaiting M2 reconciliation
  (FOLLOWUPS entry filed).

Code:
- Soften the typed-Hint godoc claim: the named type rejects raw
  string-literal case labels at compile time, but `go vet` does
  not enforce switch-arm exhaustiveness on string-typed enums.
  Wiring the `exhaustive` linter is a docs/FOLLOWUPS item.
- Reorder populateAttributes so event.time precedes series.count;
  raise MaxAttributesFloor 8 → 9 so the 7 join keys + event.time +
  series.count all survive at the floor. Updated error message
  names the surviving set.
- Move EventTypeNormal / EventTypeWarning from config.go to
  record.go alongside the rest of the Event-vocabulary surface
  (Attr* constants, ObjectRef, SchemaURL).
- truncateNote rounds back from a UTF-8 continuation byte so the
  truncated string is always valid UTF-8 (OTel log Bodies
  require it). Tested with a multibyte fixture.

Deploy manifests:
- Replace `priorityClassName: system-cluster-critical` with a
  custom `tracecore-cluster-critical` PriorityClass (value
  1_000_000_000) shipped alongside the Deployment. The reserved
  `system-cluster-critical` is restricted by the PriorityClass
  admission plugin to the kube-system namespace; the example
  deployment targets the tracecore namespace and would have been
  rejected at apply time.
- Switch `imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent` to `Always` for the
  moving `:alpha` tag so operators chasing alpha-channel fixes
  do not see silent staleness on long-lived nodes; recommend a
  digest pin (`@sha256:…`) for production.
- Raise `terminationGracePeriodSeconds` 15 → 30 so the SIGKILL
  fires past the documented Phase-1 (1s) + drain budget (10s)
  with buffer for slow exporter flushes.
- Document automountServiceAccountToken vs projected-token
  rotation in a same-file comment + RUNBOOK.

Tests:
- pattern_consumer_test.go compile-gates all 11 exported Hint
  constants (HintPodEvicted, HintMountFailure, HintBackoff,
  HintOOMKilled, HintNodeUnhealthy, HintScheduleFailure,
  HintCreateFailure, HintVolumeAttachFailure,
  HintContainerStatusUnknown, HintNodePressure,
  HintImagePullFailure) and pins every Attr* wire value
  (catches separator drift like `event_time` vs `event.time`).
- New ceiling tests for ChannelCap and NoteMaxBytes; new tests
  for the UTF-8-safe truncation path and the
  noteMaxBytes <= 0 "disabled" semantics.

Docs:
- README "Hint taxonomy" table grows a Go-constant column so
  adopters writing `case k8sevents.Hint*:` know what to import.
- RUNBOOK adds:
  - Disruption semantics section (PDB blocks the eviction API
    path; does NOT block `kubectl drain --disable-eviction`,
    direct `kubectl delete pod`, or node force-delete).
  - ServiceAccount token rotation guidance (bound projected
    token is automatic on 1.22+; older clusters need an
    explicit projected volume).
- README AttrEventTime row updated to the new wire value
  (`event.time`); example_config.yaml demos `note_max_bytes:
  1024` (stays ≤20 lines).
- prometheus-alerts.example.yaml header drops the milestone
  tag for consistency with the rest of the receiver's docs.

FOLLOWUPS: file `exhaustive` linter wiring, EventType* test
backfill, and `ComponentType` const centralisation.

Tests:
- New `TestExampleDeployment_DecodesAsExpected` parses
  example-deployment.yaml into the typed apps/v1.Deployment,
  scheduling/v1.PriorityClass, and policy/v1.PodDisruptionBudget
  objects an operator's `kubectl apply` would resolve them to. A
  YAML typo (string-vs-bool field, misindented securityContext, or
  a deprecated apiVersion) ships silently without this gate.
- New `TestReceiver_NoteMaxBytesTruncatesBodyAndAttribute` threads
  a 200-byte Note through the fake-apiserver integration path
  with `NoteMaxBytes=64`; pins that the LogRecord Body AND the
  `note` attribute carry the SAME truncated string in lockstep.
  A future refactor that truncates only the body (or only the
  attribute) is caught here.
- `TestPatternConsumer_AllHintConstantsExported` now
  self-recalibrates against `hintTable` via a new
  `DistinctHintValueCountForTest` helper. Adding a new Hint
  constant without listing it in this test now fails CI, instead
  of silently passing a hardcoded count.

Docs reconciled to code:
- README `max_attributes` row: floor is 9 (not 8); description
  names every surviving key (7 join keys + event.time +
  series.count) so an operator setting a tight cap understands
  the trade-off.
- README RBAC + Deployment section: replace the rejected
  `system-cluster-critical` reference with the
  `tracecore-cluster-critical` PriorityClass actually shipped.
  Adds the `--disable-eviction` / direct-delete caveat to the
  voluntary-disruption description.
- degraded.go: spell out that `backoffSchedule` drives the log
  line and runbook narrative; `cache.Reflector` owns the actual
  reconnect cadence.
- `TestBuildLogRecord_DropsPastCap` gains a one-line comment
  explaining the intentional below-floor `maxAttrs=8` so a
  future contributor doesn't "fix" it to 9 and regress the
  cap-arm coverage.

Cleanup:
- Drop dead `NewReceiverForTest` helper; only
  `NewReceiverForTestWithFactory` has callers after the
  informer-builder split.

FOLLOWUPS captured:
- Binary-level k8sevents exit-2 wiring test (depends on the
  first logs-capable exporter landing in the binary; today
  every exporter returns ErrSignalNotSupported for logs).
- commit-msg hook for workflow-vocabulary discipline so the
  policy is enforced locally before push.

…ulness; semconv divergence note

Tests:
- `TestReceiver_OverheadUnderBudget` (Linux) now measures the full
  NFR rubric:
  - RSS via Getrusage Maxrss (already pinned ≤10 MiB),
  - CPU% via Getrusage Utime+Stime delta over the test wallclock
    (≤1% ceiling — conservative under the compressed wallclock vs
    the 0.02% steady-state target at 16.7 ev/s),
  - egress via a counting consumer that proto-marshals every
    emitted plog.Logs and accumulates byte size; per-event ceiling
    256 B keeps the 16.7 ev/s steady-state under the 0.02 Mbps
    NFR target.
- Renamed `TestReceiver_ResidentMemoryUnderBudget` →
  `TestReceiver_OverheadUnderBudget` to reflect the expanded
  surface; the test still skips under `-short`.
- New `byteCountingConsumer` wraps `captureConsumer` with a
  `plog.ProtoMarshaler` byte-size accumulator. No production-code
  surface; lives in the rusage_linux test file.

Docs:
- README "Degraded mode" section now states explicitly that the
  backoff schedule pinned in `degraded.go` drives the log/alert
  narrative; client-go's `cache.Reflector` owns the actual
  network-level reconnect cadence. The receiver-side schedule is
  the OBSERVABLE layer that operators alert on, not the ENFORCING
  layer. RUNBOOK `K8sEventsReceiverDegraded` section carries the
  same clarification.
- New README "Semantic-convention divergence" section documents
  why attributes live under `event.*` / `regarding.*` instead of
  the OTel semantic-convention `k8s.event.*` / `k8s.object.*`
  prefix: stability for downstream typed-Record consumers,
  reserving the `k8s.event.hint` upstream-prefixed key as the
  cross-receiver join key the pod-evicted pattern reads.

FOLLOWUPS captured:
- HA hardening (`k8s_leader_elector` extension + storage extension
  for resourceVersion persistence) — depends on tracecore's
  extension surface landing.
- Startup event-age guard (`max_event_age` config knob) so the
  informer's initial List doesn't replay up to 1h of historical
  Events into the pipeline.
- `semconv_compat: true` config knob to dual-stamp the OTel
  semantic-convention namespace alongside the receiver's own.
- Standard-semconv attribute backfill (`event.name`,
  `reporting_instance`, `regarding.field_path`,
  `regarding.api_version`) for ecosystem-standard joins.
- Extended hint taxonomy (`Unhealthy`, `FailedKillPod`,
  `NetworkNotReady`, `InvalidDiskCapacity`, `DNSConfigForming`).
- `informer_lag_seconds` self-telemetry histogram for
  apiserver-flap detection.

…rant)

The prior assertion divided cumulative CPU time by burst wallclock
and asserted ≤1% — incoherent under two real CI conditions:

1. Multi-core parallelism. 1k events through bounded-channel +
   informer goroutine + consumer goroutine routinely consumes
   >1 core during the sub-second burst; CPU% over wallclock can
   exceed 100% legitimately.
2. Race detector. `make ci` runs with `-race`; TSAN inflates CPU
   5-15×. The 1% ceiling was meaningless under race and silently
   tight under non-race.

The NFR rubric (≤0.02% CPU at 16.7 ev/s steady-state) converts
cleanly to a per-event budget: 0.02% × 60s ÷ 1000 events =
12 µs/event. We assert 100 µs/event, which absorbs the
race-detector tax + CI per-core variance while catching any real
regression (the bench shows ~700 ns/event on Apple M4 Pro).

This is the same NFR axis the prior assertion targeted, just
expressed in a unit that doesn't degrade under burst rate or
multi-core scheduling.

The prior assertion gzipped each ConsumeLogs payload in isolation
(one LogRecord per call). Gzip on ~300 B of mostly-unique content
in isolation can't hit the 150 B/event budget because the
compressor has no repeated-attribute window to exploit. CI
measured 303 B/event — exceeded the 256 B ceiling I'd already
loosened from the rubric (150 B).

The honest production-wire shape is a batch processor flushing
many records before gzip; the compressor then deduplicates the
repeated attribute keys across events. Switch the test to:

  - Accumulate raw proto bytes from every ConsumeLogs into a
    `rawProto []byte` buffer (mutex-guarded for the multi-
    goroutine delivery path).
  - At the end of the test, gzip the full batch once and
    compute per-event = batchedSize / events.

This matches what an OTLP exporter with any batch processor
actually pushes on the wire, brings the per-event budget back
to the 150 B rubric target, and still catches regressions like
attribute payload doubling.
