Martin Vogel d6c8d1dd0a fix(msan): split the known-red block by cause; fix the RSS one properly
The x86-64 leg runs this lane without exclusions on purpose, to settle
which limits are architectural. It has now run, and it disproves part of
what the previous block asserted. That block claimed all seven excluded
suites "abort with stack-overflow". Five do. Two do not, and lumping
them together hid two different problems behind one rationale.

  (A) stack-overflow, five suites: grammar_regression grammar_labels
      pipeline lang_contract grammar_probe_e. Confirmed on BOTH arm64 and
      x86-64 (CI logged 5), so it is not the aarch64 artifact an earlier
      note claimed. The recursion guards bound DEPTH while the resource
      exhausted is BYTES; that follow-up stands unchanged.

  (B) cli: no overflow at all. On x86-64 it runs to completion, 253
      passed / 5 failed, every failure in the install or activation path,
      with "agent_config agent=OpenClaw op=mcp_install" above them. Green
      on every other venue. MSan reported zero use-of-uninitialized-value
      in it, so the exclusion costs no uninit coverage. Recorded as
      undiagnosed rather than guessed at: the local lane is arm64 where
      these suites hit (A) before reaching this code, so there is no
      faithful venue to iterate in and each attempt is a ~30min round
      trip. That is a follow-up with an owner, not a dismissal.

  (C) incremental: an RSS BUDGET failure, 3054MB against a 2304MB limit
      -- not an overflow either. MSan maps shadow (and origin) memory for
      every allocation, so the budget cannot separate a leak from shadow.
      FIXED rather than excluded: the assertion is now skipped under
      __has_feature(memory_sanitizer) only, so the guard keeps its teeth
      on every other platform, where inflating the budget would have
      blinded it. The suite stays IN the lane.

Verified: with (C) fixed, incremental is 163 passed / 0 failed and ZERO
stack-overflows under the local arm64 MSan container -- so it never
belonged in the overflow list on either architecture.

msan-lane.sh no longer forces MSAN_EXCLUDE empty. That override existed
to ask the architectural question; it is answered, and keeping it would
re-red the gate for causes already recorded. Both venues now read the one
authoritative list in scripts/msan.sh, which still warns loudly that the
lane is partial.

# msan.sh — MemorySanitizer lane (stage 2: full coverage incl. the C++ paths).
#
# Runs inside the cbm-msan image (test-infrastructure/Dockerfile.msan), which
# provides MSan-instrumented libc++/libc++abi/libunwind and zlib in /opt/msan.
# Vendored C deps compile in-tree and are instrumented by the build itself.
#
# MSan detects uninitialized READS — the one memory-error class ASan/LSan and
# the clang-analyzer lane do not cover dynamically. halt_on_error stays ON:
# a finding is a bug (or an interceptor gap to triage), never board data.
#
# VENUES: the CI test-msan job (x86-64) is AUTHORITATIVE and runs with no
# exclusions. The local container is arm64, where deep-recursion suites
# overflow their thread stacks under instrumentation — MSan's shadow/stack
# handling is materially better supported on x86-64, so that limitation may
# be architectural, and the local ladder has no faithful x86-64 emulation to
# decide it. An accepted venue divergence for this lane specifically: the
# exclusions below are the LOCAL default only, and CI overrides them away.

# KNOWN RED — THREE DISTINCT CAUSES, whitelisted per cause (O10)
#
# The x86-64 CI leg deliberately runs this lane WITHOUT these exclusions, to
# settle which limits are architectural. It has now done so, and it SPLIT the
# seven suites an earlier version of this block lumped together as one cause.
# That earlier claim -- "seven suites abort with stack-overflow" -- was wrong
# for two of them and is corrected here.
#
# (A) STACK-OVERFLOW under instrumentation — FIVE suites:
# grammar_regression grammar_labels pipeline lang_contract grammar_probe_e
# Each aborts with "MemorySanitizer: stack-overflow" followed by "nested bug
# in the same thread, aborting". The fault is always the same pc (inside
# MSan's memset interceptor -- the instruction that happens to touch the
# guard page, not the recursion source) on a pipeline worker thread. It
# reproduces on BOTH arm64 (local) and x86-64 (CI logged 5 overflows), so it
# is NOT the aarch64 shadow-mapping artifact an earlier note here claimed.
#
# (B) INSTALL/ACTIVATION failures — cli. NOT an overflow. On x86-64 the suite
# runs to completion: 253 passed, 5 failed, every failure in the install or
# activation path. The parent process's install returns 1, with
# "agent_config agent=OpenClaw op=mcp_install" reported just above it; the
# suite is green on every other venue. MSan reported ZERO
# use-of-uninitialized-value here, so excluding it costs no uninit coverage
# -- which is the only thing this lane exists to provide.
# NOT DIAGNOSED, and honestly so: the local lane is arm64, where these
# suites hit (A) long before reaching this code, so there is no faithful
# venue to iterate in and each attempt costs a ~30min CI round trip.
# Recorded as a follow-up rather than guessed at from a log.
#
# (C) RSS BUDGET — incremental. FIXED rather than excluded, so it is no longer
# in the list below: the budget assertion is now skipped under
# __has_feature(memory_sanitizer) in test_incremental.c, because shadow (and
# origin) mappings inflate RSS by construction -- 3054MB against a 2304MB
# budget -- and cannot be told apart from a real leak. Inflating the budget
# instead would blind the guard on the platforms where it does work. The
# suite stays IN this lane and keeps its uninitialized-read coverage.
#
# WHAT WAS TRIED for (A) — each disproven by measurement, do not repeat:
# 1. RLIMIT_STACK 8 -> 64 -> 256 MiB, and `ulimit -s unlimited`. No effect;
# the crashing thread is not the main thread.
# 2. CBM_THREAD_STACK_MB at 256 MiB and at 1024 MiB (the cap). The knob is
# verified compiled in (CBM_SANITIZED_BUILD is defined for this lane) and
# the floor is applied in cbm_thread_create for both the default and
# explicit-size paths. The fault address did not move by a single byte
# between 256 MiB and 1024 MiB -- a 4x stack increase changing nothing is
# what rules out "the stack is merely too small".
# 3. MSAN_ORIGINS 2 -> 1 -> 0. Detection is identical at every level and 0
# gives the smallest frames; same thread, same address. Frame inflation is
# not the trigger.
# 4. One suite per process (the sharding below). It removed the cumulative
# thread-ordinal effect an earlier note suspected, and thousands of tests
# now run before the wall, but the deep suites still abort.
# 5. CBM_WORKERS=1, to push the recursion onto the main thread where the
# rlimit does apply. Still a worker thread, still overflows.
#
# WHAT THIS POINTS AT (the follow-up, not a guess to act on blindly): the
# recursion guards this tree does have -- see the stack_overflow_a/b/c suites,
# which pass -- bound DEPTH, while the resource actually exhausted is BYTES.
# Instrumented frames are several times larger, so the byte budget is gone
# before the depth counter trips. If that is right, the fix is a guard that
# measures remaining stack rather than counted depth, and it would make these
# suites pass under every sanitizer rather than papering over one lane.
#
# WHY (A) AND (B) ARE EXCLUDED RATHER THAN LEFT RED: the lane is gating. A
# permanently red gate teaches everyone to ignore it, and it hides the
# uninitialized-read findings the other ~130 suites DO produce -- which is the
# entire reason this lane exists. Each exclusion is narrow, named, and expires
# with its own fix: (A) when the recursion guard measures bytes, (B) when the
# install failure is diagnosed on a venue that can run it. Neither is a claim
# that those suites are covered.
