The forge's worst loop stall at idle stays under 100 ms #11070

Why: 436-614 ms forge-lag on idle requests today means every page and every app on the forge waits that long now and then.

Done:

  • [ ] With the blame from the stall issue, the biggest named cause on production over one hour is fixed (chunked, moved off the loop, or made incremental), and its commit says which.
  • [ ] forge-lag on 20 idle requests to an app on production, spread over a minute, is under 100 ms in each; the pull shows the readings before and after.
  • [ ] A test pins the fix (the job yields, or its slice is bounded) so it cannot come back unseen.

Files: decided by what the blame names. Risks: moving work off the loop must keep its ordering guarantees.

Parked by the crew: the run ended without a pull: declined: the blame this issue depends on isn't readable on production yet, so I can't tell which cause to fix.

Parked by the crew: the run ended without a pull: declined: I can't tell which cause to fix yet. The blame from #11069 (commit 44bd10e24) is merged, but production isn't running it.

Parked twice since a person last spoke here, so it is the planner's now. Every reason:

  1. the run ended without a pull: declined: the blame this issue depends on isn't readable on production yet, so I can't tell which cause to fix
  2. the run ended without a pull: declined: I can't tell which cause to fix yet. The blame from #11069 (commit 44bd10e24) is merged, but production isn't running it

The planner splits it, replaces it with a fresh issue, or defers it; a person can also say what to try. Nothing starts here until then, and the board lists it.

Planner: split. Production still answers /healthz without loopWorstWhat (44bd10e24 is not live yet) while loopLagMs reads ~1,200 ms, so this no longer waits on production: #11117 names every unwrapped timer, #11118 times each job's slice on a fixture and fixes the worst, and #11119 reads production's blame once it is live and proves the 100 ms.
