# Phase A diff report **This report is the output of Phase A's diff harness. Divergences shown here are INPUT for Phase B (first-divergence localization), not findings of Phase A.** Phase A's job is to make the harness itself correct, not to analyze what it surfaces. ## Summary | canary_tid | ours_tid | matched | canary_total | ours_total | first_divergence_at | floating_create (c/o) | floating_wait (c/o) | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 4 | 11 | 11 | 2099 | 11 | — | 0/0 | 0/0 | | 6 | 1 | 105128 | 119455 | 108507 | 105128 | 0/0 | 1/0 | | 7 | 2 | 32 | 32 | 33 | — | 0/0 | 0/0 | | 12 | 7 | 4 | 374 | 5 | 4 | 0/0 | 0/0 | | 14 | 9 | 41 | 26901 | 77 | 41 | 0/0 | 0/0 | | 15 | 10 | 2 | 11558 | 17 | 2 | 0/0 | 1/0 | *`floating_create (c/o)` counts shared-global `handle.create` events absorbed by Phase C+18 cross-tid SID matching. `floating_wait (c/o)` counts `wait.begin` events on shared-global dispatchers absorbed by Phase C+21 (scheduling-jitter window — canary's contention slow path may fire while ours fast-paths or vice versa). See schema-v1.md §"Shared-global SIDs" and §"Wait-begin floating absorb".* ## canary_tid=4 → ours_tid=11 No divergence within the 11 compared events (canary has 2099, ours has 11). ## canary_tid=6 → ours_tid=1 First divergence at `tid_event_idx=105128`: payload.ctx_ptr: canary='0xbe56bb3c' ours='0x42453b3c' **Pre-context (last 5 matching events):** ``` canary: [105130] kernel.call KiApcNormalRoutineNop ours: [105123] kernel.call KiApcNormalRoutineNop canary: [105131] kernel.return KiApcNormalRoutineNop ours: [105124] kernel.return KiApcNormalRoutineNop canary: [105132] import.call ExCreateThread ours: [105125] import.call ExCreateThread canary: [105133] kernel.call ExCreateThread ours: [105126] kernel.call ExCreateThread canary: [105134] handle.create sid=17d8b2ba9dd4ba13 ours: [105127] handle.create sid=3562d07db6ff161d ``` **Divergent event:** ``` canary: [105135] thread.create {'handle_semantic_id': '17d8b2ba9dd4ba13', 'parent_tid': 6, 'entry_pc': '0x824cd458', 'ctx_ptr': '0xbe56bb3c', 'priority': 0, 'affinity': 4, 'stack_size': 32768, 'suspended': False} ours: [105128] thread.create {'handle_semantic_id': '3562d07db6ff161d', 'parent_tid': 1, 'entry_pc': '0x824cd458', 'ctx_ptr': '0x42453b3c', 'priority': 0, 'affinity': 4, 'stack_size': 32768, 'suspended': False} ``` **Next event after the divergence (if any):** ``` canary: [105136] kernel.return ExCreateThread ours: [105129] kernel.return ExCreateThread ``` **Raw events (JSON):** ```json {"deterministic": true, "engine": "canary", "guest_cycle": 0, "host_ns": 1644146200, "kind": "thread.create", "payload": {"affinity": 4, "ctx_ptr": "0xbe56bb3c", "entry_pc": "0x824cd458", "handle_semantic_id": "17d8b2ba9dd4ba13", "parent_tid": 6, "priority": 0, "stack_size": 32768, "suspended": false}, "schema_version": 1, "tid": 6, "tid_event_idx": 105135} {"deterministic": true, "engine": "ours", "guest_cycle": 0, "host_ns": 494758288, "kind": "thread.create", "payload": {"affinity": 4, "ctx_ptr": "0x42453b3c", "entry_pc": "0x824cd458", "handle_semantic_id": "3562d07db6ff161d", "parent_tid": 1, "priority": 0, "stack_size": 32768, "suspended": false}, "schema_version": 1, "tid": 1, "tid_event_idx": 105128} ``` ##
