Agent Runtime Wave 1 MVP — QA Sign-Off Report

Author: upsquad-qa-engineer[bot] Date: 2026-04-10 Scope: Agent Runtime Wave 1 MVP Trust chain: PRD #93 v1.4 → HLD #110 → LLD #111 → tracking #105 → PRs #126–#140 Recommendation: REJECTED — CONDITIONAL on P0 fix

---

1. Executive Summary

Wave 1 delivered a large and generally high-quality set of library components for the Agent Runtime (session manager, 5-step initializer, LLM adapters for Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini, LangGraph executor, streaming pipeline, Redis sliding-window rate limiter, OTel metrics, Go migrations 016–017, K8s manifests, WebSocket gateway bridge). The individual components are well-designed, carry strong unit tests, enforce tenant isolation at the DB and subscription layers, and reflect the LLD faithfully.

However, the runtime is not end-to-end functional. The gRPC service methods that stitch these components together — LifecycleService.{CreateSession, SendMessage, GetSession, ListSessions, TerminateSession} and RuntimeService.{ExecuteStep, InitWorkerSession, TerminateSession, Checkpoint} — are stubbed with Unimplemented. The Python worker constructs a RuntimeServiceServicer but never registers it with its gRPC server. The session.Manager, streaming.StreamHandler, and audit.Writer all exist as library code but are not instantiated anywhere in cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go. As a result, the claimed end-to-end path in #105 — Python Worker → gRPC → Go StreamHandler → Redis pub/sub → WS Gateway → Browser — cannot fire in any environment. No session can be created, no message can be sent, no token can stream.

This is a P0 integration gap that blocks the Wave 1 delivery sign-off. The fix is bounded: wire the already-built components into the gRPC servers and the orchestrator entrypoint. No new business logic is required.

Additional findings include missing unit tests for the audit and routing packages, a missing llm_usage_events attribution hook (per-agent billing attribution required by cross-platform memory contract), a shared platform namespace (no per-tenant K8s namespace) that weakens AR-F64 enforcement, and a race-condition disclaimer in agent_events.go that the author deferred to a future refactor.

2. Test Execution Status

2.1 Go test suite

Status: NOT EXECUTED in this QA session.

The QA sandbox environment blocked go test, go build, and even go env invocations (Bash permission denied for any go subcommand other than go version). I was unable to execute the suite. The static inspection below substitutes for runtime verification and a follow-up CI run is required before sign-off.

Inventory of existing Go tests (file-level; 91 top-level Test* functions found):

Package	# TestFns	Notes
internal/runtime/streaming	19	Backpressure, drop-oldest, sequence numbers, publish failure handling, status/completion/error fanout
internal/runtime/metrics	11	OTel provider init, instruments, Prometheus endpoint
internal/runtime/policy	13	Tenant & provider isolation, tier limits, sliding window expiry, fail-open, retry-after bounds
internal/runtime/session	16	Snapshot hash determinism, order independence, tenant isolation on Get, manager CRUD
internal/runtime/server	11	Tracing interceptor, tenant extraction + health-check bypass, metadata carrier
internal/runtime/model	21	Cost router (budget/critical-role), recommender, cached registry, seed
internal/gateway/ws	37	Hub multi-tenant isolation, agent events tenant isolation, subscribe/unsubscribe idempotency, rate limiter, concurrent subscribers
cmd/agent-orchestrator	4	Config, readyz

Packages with ZERO tests (coverage gaps):

• internal/runtime/audit — writer.go and store.go are completely untested. Audit is a Core Tenet requirement ("every action auditable") and a direct PRD NFR ("100% of actions in immutable audit log").
• internal/runtime/routing — router.go (in-memory least-connections worker pool) is untested.
• internal/runtime/server/grpc.go, runtime_server.go, lifecycle_server.go, model_registry_server.go — no direct test coverage (interceptors are covered separately).
• cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go — no startup integration test; given the wiring gap this is how the P0 escaped review.

Reported coverage per the 100% tenet: cannot verify without running go test -cover. Given the above zero-test packages, the suite cannot possibly be at 100%.

2.2 Python (agent-worker) test suite

Status: NOT EXECUTED in this QA session. uv is not installed in the sandbox; python3 -m pytest was blocked by the same permission denial.

Inventory of existing Python tests (from static scan):

File	# test fns	Notes
tests/test_imports.py	12	Module import smoke tests
tests/test_graph.py	17	State init, should_continue branches, loop limit, tool denial, guardrail violation, single/multi-turn
tests/test_emitter.py	8	All event type serialization
tests/test_streaming.py	12	Emitter/collector, queue-full drop, cancellation, elapsed_ms
tests/test_executor.py	8	Initialize, execute_step, checkpoint, terminate, unknown session paths
tests/test_llm.py	27	Circuit breaker FSM (closed→open→half-open), fallback chain, retry/rate-limit, Anthropic adapter, cost
tests/test_openai_adapter.py	17	Streaming, tool calls, retry, cost, message conversion
tests/test_gemini_adapter.py	24	Streaming, tool calls, retry, cost, error classification
tests/conftest.py	fixtures	test_snapshot fixture etc.

The Python suite is broad and well-structured. No tests were found for server.py (RuntimeServiceServicer) or main.py (gRPC server bootstrap) — which is why the "servicer is never registered with the grpc.aio.server" defect slipped through.

2.3 E2E integration test

NOT WRITTEN / NOT POSSIBLE. The integration target does not exist: the gRPC handlers are stubs (see §3.1), so writing an integration test today would fail at the first CreateSession call. I did not add failing E2E tests to the repo; instead this report documents the required tests under §6.

3. Critical Findings

3.1 [P0] Orchestrator gRPC server methods are all stubbed — no end-to-end path exists

Files: internal/runtime/server/lifecycle_server.go, internal/runtime/server/runtime_server.go, cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go, services/agent-worker/src/agent_worker/main.py

Evidence:

• lifecycle_server.go lines 28–55: every method delegates to UnimplementedLifecycleServiceServer. SendMessage, CreateSession, GetSession, ListSessions, TerminateSession all return codes.Unimplemented.
• runtime_server.go lines 30–50: every method returns Unimplemented. ExecuteStep, InitWorkerSession, TerminateSession, Checkpoint.
• grpc.go lines 82–87: lifecycleSrv := &lifecycleServer{} — the struct has no sessionMgr, no streamHandler, no worker fields, so the concrete session.Manager (which is fully implemented) is never invoked by the gRPC layer.
• cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go lines 72–107: the process starts a pgxpool, a Redis client, and an OTel provider — then passes only the pool and Redis into runtimeserver.New. NewManager, NewStreamHandler, NewRedisPublisher, NewRateLimiter, NewInMemoryRouter, and audit.NewWriter are never called. The instruments variable is literally _ = instruments. No audit writer is started.
• services/agent-worker/src/agent_worker/main.py line 64–73: the comment is explicit — "When proto stubs are generated, this will use: runtime_pb2_grpc.add_RuntimeServiceServicer_to_server(servicer, server). For now, we create the servicer to validate it initializes correctly." The servicer object is constructed but never added to the grpc.aio.server(). The worker pod therefore accepts TCP connections on :50052 but answers no RPCs.
• services/agent-worker/src/agent_worker/proto/ is empty (__init__.py only) — Python proto stubs were never generated, so the comment's TODO is blocked by a missing codegen step.

Impact:

• No session can be created via CreateSession — the portal cannot open a chat.
• No message can be sent via SendMessage — streaming pipeline is never exercised.
• The worker cannot receive InitWorkerSession — executor is never initialized in production.
• The entire value chain advertised on #105 is non-functional; all underlying library code is orphaned.
• Every AR-F requirement that depends on the gRPC wire path (F01, F03, F07, F13–F21, F31–F34, F47–F50) is behaviourally uncovered regardless of component-level test pass rates.

Required fix (bounded):

1. Extend lifecycleServer to hold session.Manager + streaming.StreamHandler + routing.Router and implement all five methods against them. The session.Manager.Create path is already complete.
2. Extend runtimeServer to hold the streaming handler and a worker-stream forwarder that calls StreamHandler.HandleEvent on each event received from an upstream worker ExecuteStep stream, then publishes via RedisPublisher.
3. Wire the full dependency graph in cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go: build Manager, StreamHandler, RedisPublisher, RateLimiter, Router, audit.Writer, start the writer's background flusher, pass them into runtimeserver.New(Config{...}), and delete the _ = instruments placeholder.
4. Generate Python proto stubs (runtime_pb2, runtime_pb2_grpc) and update services/agent-worker/src/agent_worker/main.py to call runtime_pb2_grpc.add_RuntimeServiceServicer_to_server(servicer, server) and make RuntimeServiceServicer inherit from the generated base class.
5. Add a startup integration test in cmd/agent-orchestrator that builds a server with in-memory fakes and exercises one CreateSession → SendMessage → TerminateSession round-trip end-to-end.

Estimated effort: 1–2 days (1 backend engineer). No architectural change required.

3.2 [P1] llm_usage_events per-agent attribution hook is not implemented

Files: services/agent-worker/src/agent_worker/llm/*_adapter.py

Evidence: LLM adapters calculate per-call USD cost and expose it on the LLMEvent.usage and cost fields (verified in anthropic.py:302, openai_adapter.py:222, gemini_adapter.py:193), but no code path writes the cost into a metering/usage events table. The LLD #111 Section 5.3 and the cross-platform memory contract ("LLM Sourcing Modes (A/B/C/D) — mandatory llm_usage_events per-agent attribution hook") require this hook for AR-F19 and AR-F55.

Impact:

• AR-F19 ("per-call cost tracking → metering table") is PARTIAL — costs are computed but not persisted.
• AR-F55 ("billable metrics: LLM tokens per model") is measurement-only via OTel, not stored as the durable event stream billing will consume.
• AR-F73–F76 (per-agent token budget, alerts, hard-limit, dashboard) are gated on this table being populated and cannot deliver in Wave 2 without it.

Required fix: add llm_usage_events migration, write events from the LangGraph executor after each LLM call (or from a Go-side consumer of the streaming metrics event type), and add unit tests to both sides. Can be bundled with the §3.1 wiring work.

---

3.3 [P1] No unit tests for internal/runtime/audit package

Files: internal/runtime/audit/writer.go, internal/runtime/audit/store.go

Evidence: grep '^func Test' internal/runtime/audit/ returns zero results. The audit writer is a batching async buffer that governs the "100% of actions in immutable audit log" NFR. It contains non-trivial logic (batch threshold triggering, ticker flush, final flush on ctx.Done, error handling with a TODO for dead-letter) that must be test-covered before it is trusted in production.

Required fix: add writer_test.go covering:

• Buffered entries below batch size are not flushed until the ticker fires
• Reaching batch size triggers an immediate flush without waiting for the ticker
• Stop() drains remaining entries on context cancel
• Store error path logs and does not block the writer (dead-letter path TODO tracked)
• Concurrent Write() calls are serialized correctly (race test)

---

3.4 [P1] internal/runtime/routing package has no tests

Files: internal/runtime/routing/router.go

Evidence: InMemoryRouter.SelectWorker (least-connections), RegisterWorker, DeregisterWorker, UpdateHealth — all untested. The router is the component that would decide which worker pod receives a new session; an off-by-one or a bad unhealthy-filter would silently route to a dead worker in production.

Required fix: add router_test.go covering no-healthy-workers error, least-connections tie-breaks, deregister-while-selecting race, UpdateHealth on unknown worker is a no-op.

---

3.5 [P2] Single shared platform K8s namespace — no per-tenant isolation

Files: deployments/agent-runtime/base/*.yaml

Evidence: worker-deployment.yaml line 5, orchestrator-deployment.yaml, network-policy.yaml all pin resources to namespace: platform. AR-F64 requires "CPU/memory enforced via K8s quotas per tenant namespace". The current manifests run a shared worker pool across all tenants, giving tenant A the ability to exhaust tenant B's CPU/memory via noisy-neighbour effects.

Impact: Tenant isolation is enforced at the DB (RLS) and Redis (key-prefix) layers — excellent — but NOT at the compute layer for the Wave 1 deployment. This is a known simplification for MVP scale (the PRD itself says AR-F64 "per tenant namespace" but the Wave 1 task scope does not call out namespace provisioning). I am raising it as P2 because it must be addressed before the MVP goes to multi-tenant production (even dev staging), not because it blocks Wave 1 sign-off.

Required fix (Wave 2): define a Pulumi module that materializes a namespace per tenant with worker Deployment, NetworkPolicy, ResourceQuota, and LimitRange per namespace. Update the Orchestrator routing layer to be namespace-aware.

---

3.6 [P2] agent_events.go has a documented writer-race deferred to a future refactor

File: internal/gateway/ws/agent_events.go lines 19–23

Evidence: The author's own docstring says "nhooyr.io/websocket requires a single writer at a time on a given Conn. This package already has pre-existing races between chat streaming, heartbeat, and hub broadcast write paths — the agent events forwarder follows the same convention and writes directly." The file adds a per-connection mutex (writeLocks) to serialize its own forwarder writes, but does NOT synchronize with the pre-existing chat/heartbeat writers.

Impact: Under concurrent load (a user chat streaming a reply while an agent-event subscription is firing), the single websocket.Conn.Write invariant is violated. The symptom would be interleaved/corrupted frames or a library panic. This is a latent bug in the entire ws package, made worse by adding another writer.

Required fix: introduce a single per-connection writer goroutine consuming a buffered send channel. All paths (chat, heartbeat, hub, agent_events) enqueue into the channel; only one goroutine calls conn.Write. Track as a ws package debt ticket — NOT a blocker for Wave 1 sign-off but must be fixed before GA.

---

3.7 [P3] rbac_grants table existence is probed at init time — silent RBAC bypass if migration is missing

File: internal/runtime/session/initializer.go lines 316–334

Evidence: fetchRBACGrants queries information_schema.tables for the rbac_grants table; if it doesn't exist, it logs DEBUG and returns an empty grants map. This means a missing/forgotten RBAC migration produces a silent degrade-to-open — every agent starts with an empty RBAC grant set instead of failing loudly. AR-F51/F52 expect per-action authorisation against cached RBAC grants.

Impact: In current state (no rbac_grants table in migrations), every session initializer returns zero grants. This is consistent with the PRD allowing "default: action ALLOWED unless guardrail explicitly prohibits (blacklist model, AR-F53)", but the informational log at DEBUG level is too quiet — operators will not notice the table is missing.

Required fix: promote the "table not found" branch to a WARN log with a missing_migration=rbac_grants field. Add a migration for rbac_grants in a Wave 2 task and remove the existence probe (fail loudly if the table is truly absent).

---

3.8 [P3] instruments is constructed then discarded in orchestrator main

File: cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go line 78: _ = instruments // Will be injected into services in subsequent tasks.

Evidence: metrics.NewInstruments() registers billable/performance counters on the global OTel meter, then the returned handle is discarded. This will work for metrics that are recorded via metrics.Meter() global lookups in other packages, but any code path that expects to be passed an *Instruments handle cannot record metrics. Symptom: AR-F55 billable metrics will be partially missing until services are wired to receive instruments.

Required fix: pass instruments through into session.Manager, streaming.StreamHandler, policy.RateLimiter, audit.Writer, etc. so they can record on it instead of re-resolving via the global meter. Bundles naturally with the §3.1 wiring work.

4. Requirement Coverage Map (AR-F01 – AR-F84)

Legend:

• IMPL = library code exists and appears correct on inspection
• TESTED = has direct unit tests that exercise it
• WIRED = reachable via the process entrypoint(s) (gRPC server registered + instantiated in main)
• GAP = missing implementation or wiring

Section 5.1 — Agent executor core loop

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Evidence / Notes
AR-F01 think-act-observe loop	YES	YES	NO	graph/nodes.py, graph/edges.py, test_graph.py (tool flow, loop limit). Not reachable: ExecuteStep gRPC is stub.

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Evidence / Notes
AR-F08 5-step init	YES	PARTIAL	NO	initializer.go all 5 steps present. initializer_test.go only tests retry backoff constants — no tests for the 5-step DB flow (would require pgxmock or testcontainers).

AR-F20 exponential backoff + circuit breaker	YES	YES	NO	llm/circuit_breaker.py FSM fully tested (closed→open→half-open→closed).
AR-F21 streaming provider→worker→orchestrator→gateway→browser	PARTIAL	PARTIAL	NO	Adapters stream, executor streams, StreamHandler+RedisPublisher exist, AgentEventsHandler subscribes — but Orchestrator ExecuteStep is a stub so the worker→orchestrator hop is broken (§3.1).
AR-F65 model recommendation engine	YES	YES	YES	model/recommender.go fully tested (role weights, quality/cost/balanced goals, deprecated skip, max alternatives). ModelRegistryService is the only wired service in grpc.go (line 98).
AR-F66 task-level model override	YES	NO	NO	initializer.go:145 modelOverride parameter; no test exercising it.
AR-F67 cost-aware routing	YES	YES	NO	model/cost_router.go fully tested (under/over budget, critical roles, threshold). Not wired into session initializer or LLM adapter call path.

AR-F77 per-provider-per-tenant rate limiting	YES	YES	NO	policy/ratelimiter.go Redis sliding window; ratelimiter_test.go covers tenant isolation, provider isolation, tier limits, fail-open. Not called from any code path — no wiring in lifecycleServer/runtimeServer.

Section 5.4 — Tool execution (MCP)

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Evidence / Notes
AR-F22 MCP server framework	NO	—	—	graph/nodes.py:380 — "Tool execution is currently stubbed — MCP integration comes in a later task." No MCP code exists. Out of Wave 1 scope — deferred.
AR-F23 built-in tools	NO	—	—	Deferred.
AR-F24 SCM tools	NO	—	—	Deferred.

AR-F28 context-mode MCP	NO	—	—	Deferred.
AR-F29 MCP security gateway	NO	—	—	Deferred.

Section 5.4 coverage summary: heavy gap on MVP scope. PRD marks AR-F22–F29 as MVP, but Wave 1 scope in tracking issue #105 carved out MCP to a later wave. Raise with PM to confirm MCP is Wave 2, not a Wave 1 miss.

Section 5.5 — Streaming

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Evidence / Notes

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Notes
AR-F47 checkpoint to Redis every 30s	PARTIAL	NO	NO	LangGraphExecutor.checkpoint() serializes state; test_executor.py::test_checkpoint_returns_bytes_and_hash. No 30s ticker — checkpoint is request/response only, no background scheduler. Gap vs PRD.

AR-F49 checkpoint contents	YES	YES	NO	LangGraphExecutor.checkpoint hashes the state and returns bytes. Includes snapshot_hash, conversation_position, pending_actions, loop_count (implicit in graph state).
AR-F50 checkpoint TTL	PARTIAL	NO	NO	redisSessionTTL = 24h in manager.go; no separate 7d TTL for suspended sessions (approval workflow not yet built).

Section 5.9 — Per-action authorisation

AR-F55 billable metrics	PARTIAL	PARTIAL	NO	metrics/instruments.go declares counters; TestInstruments_RecordBillableMetrics. No production call sites (§3.8).
AR-F56 performance metrics	YES	YES	NO	Instruments declared; same gap. Latency targets (p95 <2s TTFT, <3s cold start) cannot be measured without E2E.
AR-F57 attribution tenant_id/agent_id/session_id	YES	YES	PARTIAL	unaryTenantInterceptor pulls from gRPC metadata and attaches to span; TestUnaryTenantInterceptor_ExtractsAttribution. Works for any RPC that flows through interceptors — but RPCs are stubs today.

Section 5.11 — Scaling

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Notes
AR-F58 event-driven autoscaler	PARTIAL	NO	YES	hpa.yaml exists but targets CPU, not queue depth. KEDA not configured. Gap vs PRD.
AR-F59 scale-to-zero	PARTIAL	NO	NO	HPA minReplicas not set to zero; no keda ScaledObject. Gap.

Section 5.12 — Sandboxed execution

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Notes

AR-F64 per-tenant CPU/memory quotas	NO	—	—	Shared platform namespace (§3.5). Gap.

Section 5.13 — Token budgets

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Notes
AR-F73–F76	NO	—	—	Not implemented. Depends on llm_usage_events (§3.2). Deferred.

Section 5.14 — Delegated authority

Req	IMPL	TESTED	WIRED	Notes
AR-F78–F84	NO	—	—	Not implemented in Wave 1. Defers to Autonomy Rules Engine work in a later wave.

Overall AR-F rollup (MVP set = 71 items)

Status	Count	Percentage
IMPL + TESTED + WIRED	~10	~14%
IMPL + TESTED + not WIRED	~25	~35%
IMPL + not TESTED	~8	~11%
PARTIAL	~10	~14%
GAP (not in Wave 1 scope / deferred)	~18	~25%

Reading: Nearly 60% of MVP requirements have code written but are not reachable because of the §3.1 wiring gap. The "deferred" bucket (~25%) is consistent with PM/PjM's Wave 1 scope carve-out (MCP, approvals, A2A, token budgets, autonomy rules are explicitly deferred on tracking issue #105), but should be confirmed against #105's acceptance criteria.

5. Security Review

Tenant isolation (Core Tenet — SACRED)

Layer	Mechanism	Verified	Notes
Postgres (agent_sessions)	RLS USING (org_id = current_setting('app.org_id')::uuid) + FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY	YES	Migration 016 line 46. Initializer sets the GUC per tx (initializer.go:117).
Postgres (agent_audit_log)	Same RLS pattern	YES	Migration 017 line 47.
Postgres (audit append-only)	REVOKE UPDATE, DELETE ON agent_audit_log FROM PUBLIC	YES	Migration 017 line 31. Correct append-only guarantee.
Redis session key	session:{orgID}:{sessionID} prefix	YES	manager.go:270.
Redis rate-limit key	ratelimit:{tenantID}:{provider}	YES	ratelimiter.go:159. TestRateLimiter_TenantIsolation verifies.
Redis stream pub/sub	stream:{tenantID}:{sessionID} / status:{tenantID}:{agentID}	YES	fanout.go:42,59.
WS subscribe tenant check	Channel built from conn.OrgID (JWT claim), not request body	YES	agent_events.go:287,374. TestAgentEvents_TenantIsolation verifies.
gRPC interceptor tenant extraction	x-tenant-id metadata required, Unauthenticated if missing	YES	interceptors.go:337. TestUnaryTenantInterceptor_MissingTenantID.
K8s namespace isolation	Shared platform namespace — NO	NO	§3.5.

Verdict: The code-level tenant isolation is strong and well-tested across the DB, Redis, WS, and gRPC metadata layers. The one weakness is the shared K8s namespace. No cross-tenant data leakage path was identified in the reviewed code.

BYOK / provider keys in logs or persistence (AR-F18)

• Keys are passed via ExecuteStepRequest.provider_keys and flow into the LLM adapter call. Adapters receive the key and pass it straight to the provider SDK.
• LangGraphExecutor.checkpoint returns serialized state. I did not find explicit code that scrubs provider_keys from the checkpoint state; the state dict is whatever the graph compiler serializes. Recommend adding an explicit assertion test: "checkpoint bytes MUST NOT contain any provider_keys value."
• Log statements I inspected use structured keys like tenant_id, session_id, model — not provider keys. No slog.Info(... "api_key", ...) was found.

Verdict: Likely safe but unverified by test. Required follow-up: add a regression test that runs execute_step with a fake sentinel key "SECRET_SENTINEL_XYZ" and asserts neither the checkpoint bytes nor the captured log output contains that string.

RBAC on session access

• session.Manager.Get(ctx, tenantID, sessionID) requires tenantID. The store layer filters on org_id = $1 AND id = $2, so a session owned by tenant B cannot be read by tenant A. Test exists: TestManager_Get_TenantIsolation.
• Per-action RBAC is the §3.7 concern — silent degrade to empty grants.

OWASP top 10 quick scan

OWASP	Risk	Finding
A01 Broken access control	MEDIUM	Per-action RBAC is present but silently empty today (§3.7). Tenant isolation is strong.
A02 Crypto failures	LOW	SHA-256 for snapshot; no custom crypto.
A03 Injection	LOW	All DB access via pgx parameterised queries. Checked initializer.go — no string concat into SQL.
A04 Insecure design	HIGH	§3.1 stubbed gRPC handlers = the entire runtime is wired to do nothing. Fix required before deploy.
A05 Security misconfig	MEDIUM	Shared K8s namespace (§3.5).
A06 Vulnerable components	N/A	Not audited in this pass.
A07 Auth failures	LOW	gRPC requires x-tenant-id; WS auth is unchanged from existing gateway.
A08 Software/data integrity	LOW	Immutable snapshot hash; audit log append-only by REVOKE.
A09 Logging/monitoring	MEDIUM	OTel wired but audit writer not started (§3.1).
A10 SSRF	LOW	NetworkPolicy restricts egress; worker can only reach LLM APIs (443) + OTel.

6. Missing Tests To Add Before Sign-Off

(Not added in this QA PR; tracked here so the fix-up PR can include them.)

1. cmd/agent-orchestrator/main_test.go — startup integration test that constructs the server with fakes and exercises CreateSession → SendMessage → event-forward → TerminateSession end-to-end.
2. internal/runtime/session/initializer_integration_test.go — 5-step DB flow against a testcontainers Postgres fixture (or pgxmock if CI testcontainers is not available), including retry behaviour on injected step 1 failure.
3. internal/runtime/session/manager_e2e_test.go — Create with a fake WorkerClient that succeeds / fails; assert status transitions and Redis cache side-effects.
4. internal/runtime/audit/writer_test.go — batch threshold, ticker flush, drain-on-shutdown, store error path, concurrent writers.
5. internal/runtime/routing/router_test.go — least-connections selection, unhealthy filtering, deregister race, unknown-worker updates.
6. internal/runtime/server/runtime_server_test.go + lifecycle_server_test.go — once §3.1 is fixed, cover all RPCs with a bufconn gRPC client.
7. internal/gateway/ws/agent_events_e2e_test.go — real Redis pub/sub + two simulated connections in different tenants; assert tenant B's subscription receives ZERO messages for tenant A's session.
8. BYOK sentinel test — test_executor.py::test_provider_keys_not_leaked_in_checkpoint that runs execute_step with provider_keys={"anthropic": "SENTINEL_KEY_XYZ"}, checkpoints, and asserts the sentinel is absent from the serialized bytes.
9. services/agent-worker/tests/test_server.py — assert the servicer is registered with the grpc.aio.server and that all 5 RPCs route to the correct method (once proto stubs are generated).
10. test_executor.py::test_llm_usage_events_persisted — once §3.2 is implemented.

7. Performance Smoke Tests

NOT RUN. Without §3.1 fix, there is no dataplane to benchmark. Once wiring lands, required smoke tests:

• TTFT < 2s p95 (AR-F56) — 50-VU k6 run against SendMessage with a mock LLM returning the first token after 50ms. Measure from RPC start to first agent_event on the WS.
• Session cold start < 3s p95 (NFR) — CreateSession stopwatch from RPC entry to status = active.
• Crash recovery < 60s (NFR) — kill a worker pod mid-session, measure time to new worker picking up from Redis checkpoint.
• Metrics endpoint — curl :9090/metrics must return on every pod. This WOULD work today since the metrics HTTP server is wired in main.go line 128.

9. Final Recommendation

REJECTED — CONDITIONAL on resolving §3.1 (P0).

• Component quality is high. Session manager, LLM adapters, LangGraph executor, streaming pipeline, rate limiter, metrics, migrations, K8s manifests, and the WS gateway bridge are all well-built, well-tested at the unit level, and faithful to the LLD.
• But the runtime does not run end-to-end. The gRPC handlers are stubbed, the Python worker never registers its servicer, and cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go never instantiates the core components. This is a single bounded integration bug — the fix is an afternoon of wiring — but it is a mandatory blocker because nothing on #105's promised "end-to-end path" can demonstrably work today.
• Coverage is not 100%. internal/runtime/audit, internal/runtime/routing, and cmd/agent-orchestrator/main.go have zero direct tests. The 100% coverage tenet is violated. Required to close out QA sign-off.
• Security fundamentals are sound. Tenant isolation, RLS, append-only audit, network policies, non-root containers, BYOK in-memory handling are all correct at the code level. Shared K8s namespace is the only notable weakness and is P2.

To clear QA sign-off, the following must happen:

1. [Blocker] Fix §3.1 — wire the gRPC handlers and add a startup integration test that proves one round-trip works. Bundle §3.2 (llm_usage_events) and §3.8 (instruments passthrough) into the same PR.
2. [Blocker] Add the missing unit tests for audit (§3.3) and routing (§3.4), bringing those packages to 100%.
3. [Blocker] Add the BYOK sentinel test (§5 security review) — one small Python test, but required to verify the AR-F18 non-functional guarantee.
4. [Non-blocker, Wave 2] §3.5 per-tenant K8s namespace; §3.6 WS writer-race refactor; §3.7 RBAC logging + migration.

Once 1–3 land in a follow-up PR, I will re-run QA and flip this recommendation to APPROVED.

Appendix A — Environment Notes

• The QA sandbox blocked go test, go build, go env, uv, and python3 -m pytest invocations (Bash permission denial on any subcommand more involved than go version). All findings in this report are from static source inspection of the merged Wave 1 code at origin/main HEAD fcc121f. A follow-up CI run of the full Go + Python suite is required before sign-off can be finalised.
• The worktree was fetched to origin/main (HEAD fcc121f feat(gateway): wire agent runtime streaming into WebSocket gateway (#125) (#140)) and QA branch qa/agent-runtime-wave1-signoff was cut from that point.
