The gray spans are durable-workflow dispatch: each stage is an independently retried, checkpointed step, and the handoffs are what that crash-safety costs.

What happened

  1. Admitted at the edge

    A 48-character message from caller 5036919e… passed schema validation, the per-caller rate limit, and both token budgets (charged an estimate of 1,036 tokens, settled later against actual usage).

  2. Became a durable workflow

    The endpoint never calls a model. At 17:52:34.765 the request was enqueued as run wrun_01M1VXKG769XB…; tokens stream into the run’s persistent log, which is why a page reload can reattach mid-answer.

  3. Cleared the guardrail

    gpt-oss-safeguard classified the message against policy 6bb17bbe0908 in 1.18s: allow.

    “The user asks for more personal information about Joshua Bharathi, which is within the scope of the assistant.”

  4. Pulled its evidence

    Hybrid search (dense embeddings fused with BM25) returned 6 passages in 619ms; only these entered the model’s context.

  6. Verified and settled

    Every citation was checked against the concept registry and resolves. Token budgets were settled against actual usage and this trace was written.
