test(e2e): hold every worker under an idle RSS budget before any traffic (#42552)
* test(e2e): hold every worker under an idle RSS budget before any traffic

The harness reads /debug/memory/summary on every replica once at collection
time, right after the readiness gate and before this pytest process sends any
traffic, and the memory suite's first test fails when any worker idles past
E2E_MEMORY_IDLE_RSS_BUDGET_MB (768 MB by default) or gives no reading at all.

A v1.100.x worker with a database idled at 836-886 MB where v1.101.0rc1 idled
at 544 MB on the same database: prisma-client-py's default recursive type
depth generated 91k TypedDict classes that v1.101.0's recursive_type_depth = -1
cut to 19k. The budget starts at the rc1 reading plus headroom.

* test(e2e): read idle RSS only when the idle budget test is selected

Gate the collection-time /debug/memory/summary read on a selected test using
the idle_rss fixture and skip it under --collect-only, so sessions that never
run the idle budget test pay no round trip. Drop the markerless unit test file
the e2e guide bans and assert live that every configured replica was measured

* test(e2e): take the idle RSS read after collection settles

Read every replica's RSS from a tryfirst pytest_collection_finish hook so -k
and -m deselection has already run, and only when a selected test still asks
for the idle_rss fixture and the run is not --collect-only

* test(e2e): record the heaviest idle RSS reading as junit properties

* test(e2e): attach the idle RSS properties from the harness's setup hook

"""Live e2e: a few hundred requests that fail before any provider answers must not
grow the proxy's resident memory past a fixed budget once the proxy is warm.
The regression this guards shipped in v1.100.0: every retry breadcrumb copied the
whole request and the copies nested into one router-global list, so a proxy under
retry-heavy failing traffic grew until it was OOM-killed. The traffic here has that
shape: a model group whose deployments refuse at the socket (an unreachable base
URL) with cooldown_time 0 so the router keeps retrying them, per-request retries,
and a fallback group that refuses the same way, each request carrying a long chat
transcript so every whole-request copy costs hundreds of containers instead of a
handful. Under the stack's cooldown policy a
deployment that fails a handful of times in a row is benched (a bad-credential 401
included), the router answers "No deployments available" without retrying, and the
retry loop that leaks stops running; cooldown_time 0 keeps it running.
Two identical phases run back to back. The first is the warmup that grows the
proxy's caches and allocator arenas to their steady state, the second is the one
the budget applies to, so a healthy proxy shows the second phase adding roughly
nothing while a leaking one adds a fixed amount per request. RSS is read through
/debug/memory/summary on every configured replica; a burst of failing calls leaves
a transient bulge of garbage that gc reclaims within seconds, so each checkpoint
samples until no new worker has answered for a settle window and keeps the lowest
reading per worker. The growth is judged per worker (by replica address, hostname
and pid, since pods in their own pid namespaces report the same pids) so each
worker is compared with itself, and the two checkpoints must see the same workers:
a single load-balanced address reaches the workers behind it one answer at a time,
and a worker that answered only one checkpoint would otherwise drop out of the
comparison, which is where a leaking worker could hide.
RSS alone is a coarse gauge: on the release stack (spend logs storing prompts,
json logs, prometheus and otel callbacks) the same v1.100.0 breadcrumbs grew RSS
by only about 15 MB per 300 failing requests, while every failing request's stored
request snapshot carried a copy of the request per failed attempt, over 100 KB on
the first call and a couple of MB once the copies nested, against tens of KB with
the fix. So the first check sends one failing request before the phases, reads its
spend log back through /spend/logs, and holds the stored request body to a fixed
size budget: the deterministic catch for a breadcrumb that copies the whole
request. It runs before the phases because the leaking writer drops its own rows
under the phases' traffic (a queue budget hit, a recursion limit on the nested
copies), which would turn the size check into a missing-row check.
A second, cheaper check holds the idle footprint: every worker's RSS as the harness
read it at collection time, before this pytest process sent any traffic (see
conftest.pytest_collection_finish), must sit under a fixed budget. On the
release gate that is a fresh stack right after its readiness gate, one worker per
gateway replica, so the reading is what a DB-backed boot costs on its own. A
v1.100.x worker with a database idled at 886 MB RSS where v1.101.0rc1 idled at
544 MB on the same database (1.3 GB against 560 MB at the pod level, under a
2 GiB limit): the generated Prisma client at prisma-client-py's default recursive
type depth, 91k TypedDict classes that v1.101.0 cut to 19k with
recursive_type_depth = -1. The budget starts at the rc1 reading plus headroom and
E2E_MEMORY_IDLE_RSS_BUDGET_MB overrides it; a later session on the same stack (the
changed-files workflow's repeat passes, a developer's local loop) measures a proxy
already warmed by traffic, which that headroom also has to cover.
