- GPU load switches from bee-gpu-burn (compute burn, ~88% TDP) to
dcgmproftester -t 1004 / targeted_power via
resolveBenchmarkPowerLoadCommand — the same engine Power/Thermal Fit
uses and the hottest sustained NVIDIA load we have, so fans are
actually pushed toward their ceiling.
- Sample loop is now IPMI-hang-proof: every ipmitool read is time-boxed
in an abandonable goroutine, and the poll interval backs off
geometrically (1s→30s) when reads are slow, tightening again on
recovery. A plateau is only trusted while telemetry is healthy;
degraded runs ride out to MaxLoadSec. Summary gains fan_samples /
telemetry_degraded. Drops the per-second nvidia-smi+power+cpu-temp
sampling from the hot loop.
- Dead code removed: FanStressRow, GPUStressMetric, sampleFanStressRow,
sampleGPUStressMetrics, WriteFanStressCSV/WriteFanSensorsCSV,
analyzeMaxTemp, sampleSystemPowerResolved.
Topology fan tiles:
- size encodes the fan's ceiling RPM (its class), not current speed;
coloured fill rising from the bottom encodes live duty cycle
(current / ceiling), shown only when the ceiling was measured.
- glyph spin rate now maps absolute RPM into a human-perceptible band
(fanSpinPeriodSec: 2.2s/turn at <=1000 RPM, 0.35s at >=13000).
- the "N fans · N OK · tile size ∝ …" caption line is gone.

Repurpose the previously-unwired RunFanStressTest into RunFanCheck, a
Load-tier SAT test that drives stressapptest (CPU+memory) and, when a GPU
is present, a GPU burn to 100% simultaneously, then watches every fan
until none has climbed for ~60s. The observed peak RPM per fan is the
"ceiling"; it is persisted through the existing fan-observation store.
MSI G4201 / AMI MegaRAC exposes no host-side fan force (every OEM IPMI
command returns 0xc1; Redfish Thermal is GET-only), so load-driven ramp
is the closest safe equivalent. See
bible-local/decisions/2026-09-04-fan-ceiling-check.md.
- platform.ResolveFanMaxRPM: per-fan max with fallback (persisted peak ->
peer peak -> current RPM), resolved in platform, not the view.
- platform.ErrTestNotApplicable: no load source or no fan sensors ->
task lands as cancelled ("not applicable"), never failed, so an
engineer never sees a false red. executeTaskWithOptions maps the
sentinel; finalizeTaskForResult honours a pre-set TaskCancelled.
- Verdict FAIL only for a fan at 0 RPM / IPMI cr-nr under load.
- /topo: one small spinning square per fan, sized by RPM / resolved max,
clickable through to a new "fan" component-detail type; per-fan status
recorded to the component-status DB from the fan SAT summary.
- Wiring: /api/sat/fan/run route, "fan" task target, Load-page card,
stress-mode Run All.

pci=realloc was forcing a full PCI resource reallocation on every default
and toram boot, added as a GPU BAR workaround for BIOS without Above 4G
Decoding. On a dense NVMe-backplane server it exhausted MMIO32 space and
silently dropped 4 of 6 NVMe controllers from the OS even though the BIOS
and lspci both saw them fine. It now only applies to the no-GUI/gsp-off
troubleshooting entry, alongside a bible-local ADR for the two prior
rounds of SAT/blackbox durability work.
