1 # Ticket: Implement the Tidal credit limiter
2
3 ## Context
4
5 `rate-limiter` is the throttling toolkit our API gateway uses to enforce
6 per-client quotas (TypeScript, Node 20). It already ships a token bucket and an
7 exact sliding-window log, both provided complete.
8
9 We need a limiter for clients whose traffic is bursty but who we are willing to
10 let run a *controlled* deficit rather than hard-refusing during a spike. It is
11 the **Tidal credit limiter**: a client's spendable balance ebbs and refills
12 continuously, and a client may dip below the waterline (into debt) up to a fixed
13 depth before the tide has to come back in.
14
15 Its rules are **deliberately not** those of a token bucket, leaky bucket (GCRA),
16 or sliding window. Implement exactly what is written below.
17
18 ## Your task
19
20 Implement the single unimplemented method:
21
22 ```
23 src/limiter/tidal.ts -> TidalRateLimiter.tryAcquire(key, cost = 1): TidalResult
24 ```
25
26 The class, its options, validation, the per-key state map and `reset` are
27 already written. The decision logic is yours. `npm run typecheck` must stay
28 clean and you must not change the public surface (the constructor, option names,
29 exported types, or `reset`).
30
31 ## What the limiter must do
32
33 Each **key** holds its spendable balance in **two pools** plus an owed balance,
34 all measured in the same units as `cost`:
35
36 - a **burst pool** , fast and shallow. Capacity `Cb = capacity * burstFraction`,
37 refilling from empty to `Cb` over `burstWindowMs` (rate `rb = Cb / burstWindowMs`
38 per ms).
39 - a **sustained pool** , slow and deep. Capacity `Cs = capacity * (1 - burstFraction)`,
40 refilling from empty to `Cs` over `sustainedWindowMs` (rate `rs = Cs / sustainedWindowMs`
41 per ms). When `Cs = 0` its rate is `0`.
42 - an **owed balance** , how much the key currently owes from past borrowing.
43
44 The two pool capacities sum to `capacity`; the **spendable balance** is
45 `burst + sustained`. A fresh key starts with both pools full and owes nothing.
46 Neither pool ever exceeds its own capacity.
47
48 `burstFraction` is in `(0, 1]` and defaults to `1`. `burstWindowMs` and
49 `sustainedWindowMs` each default to `windowMs`. `repayFraction` is in `(0, 1]`
50 and defaults to `1`. `overdraft` is in `[0, 1)` and defaults to `0`. With the
51 defaults the sustained pool vanishes and the limiter reduces to a single pool of
52 size `capacity` refilling over `windowMs` , the original single-tier behavior.
53
54 ### Replenishment (how the balances change over time)
55
56 Replenishment is **continuous, time-based and concurrent**: both pools accrue at
57 the same instant, each at its own rate, each capped at its own capacity. Accrual
58 depends only on elapsed time, never on whether requests were made.
59
60 How accrual is applied depends on whether the key owes anything:
61
62 - If the key owes **nothing**, the burst pool gains `rb` per ms and the sustained
63 pool gains `rs` per ms (each clamped to its capacity).
64 - If the key **owes** something, a fixed proportion `repayFraction` of the
65 **combined** inflow (`rb + rs` per ms) is diverted to reduce the owed balance,
66 and each pool nets the remaining `(1 - repayFraction)` of its own rate. The
67 amount directed at the owed balance is only ever as large as the owed balance
68 itself: the instant the debt reaches zero, accrual reverts to the
69 owes-nothing rule for the rest of the elapsed time. (So `repayFraction`
70 controls *only* how inflow is shared while a debt exists.)
71
72 Because the pools saturate at different times and the debt can clear partway
73 through, the spendable balance grows piecewise-linearly with breakpoints at
74 debt-clear, burst-full and sustained-full.
75
76 ### Admission (how a request is decided)
77
78 When `tryAcquire(key, cost)` is called, first bring the balances up to the
79 current time, then decide:
80
81 1. If the **spendable balance** (`burst + sustained`) covers `cost`, admit and
82 deduct `cost`, **spending the burst pool first, then the sustained pool**.
83 The owed balance is untouched.
84 2. Otherwise the request must **borrow** the shortfall (`cost` minus the
85 spendable balance). Borrowing is allowed only while the owed balance would
86 stay within the **borrowing limit** `capacity * overdraft`. If the shortfall
87 fits, admit: drive **both pools to zero** and add the shortfall to the owed
88 balance.
89 3. If even borrowing the shortfall would push the owed balance past the
90 borrowing limit, **refuse**.
91
92 With `overdraft = 0` there is no borrowing limit to speak of (the key can never
93 owe anything).
94
95 ### Refusal semantics
96
97 A refused request **consumes nothing**: it changes neither pool, the owed
98 balance, nor anything else beyond advancing the key's bookkeeping to the current
99 time. Two refusals at the same instant must be identical.
100
101 ### Validation
102
103 `cost` must be a finite number `>= 1`; otherwise throw
104 `RateLimitError("invalid_cost", ...)` **before** touching any state. Keys are
105 fully isolated.
106
107 ## Return contract , `TidalResult`
108
109 - `allowed` , whether the request was admitted.
110 - `limit` , the configured `capacity`.
111 - `remaining` , whole units still drawable from the spendable balance (both
112 pools) immediately after this decision, never negative (round down).
113 - `debtRemaining` , whole units the key still owes immediately after this
114 decision, never negative (round up); `0` when it owes nothing.
115 - `retryAfterMs` , `0` when `allowed`. On a refusal, the **smallest whole number
116 of milliseconds** such that, if the caller waited exactly that long and retried
117 **the same `cost`** (with no other traffic on the key in between), the retry
118 would be admitted , and waiting any whole millisecond less would still be
119 refused. This is the exact minimum wait under the two-tier refill and repay
120 dynamics above; it generally steps across the refill breakpoints and has no
121 single closed form.
122 - `resetMs` , whole milliseconds from now until the key is **fully replenished**:
123 both pools at their capacities and owing nothing. `0` if already there.
124
125 Balances are real-valued; treat them as exact to within about a millionth of a
126 unit when comparing (so a `cost` exactly equal to the spendable balance is
127 covered, and an owed balance exactly at the borrowing limit is within it). The
128 whole-unit fields are the floor/ceil of those real balances.
129
130 ## Definition of done
131
132 - `npm run typecheck` is clean.
133 - The shipped smoke test (`test/smoke.test.ts`) still passes.
134 - Your `TidalRateLimiter.tryAcquire` implements the contract above. It is graded
135 by a separate, hidden suite checking admissions, balances, timing fields, edge
136 cases and randomized workloads against an independent reference.
137 - Implement `tryAcquire` only; do not modify the other files, the public surface,
138 or the provided limiters.

✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , construction & validation > rejects bad capacity / window / overdraft / repayFraction / burstFraction
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , construction & validation > validates cost before touching state and reports the right code
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , single-tier back-compat (burstFraction defaults to 1) > default options behave like the original continuous bucket
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , single-tier back-compat (burstFraction defaults to 1) > burstFraction=1 matches the single-tier oracle exactly under a mixed workload
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , two-tier pools (burst spent before sustained) > a fresh key starts with both pools full and spends burst first
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , two-tier pools (burst spent before sustained) > burst and sustained refill concurrently at different rates (kink at burst saturation)
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , borrowing across both pools > a borrow drives both pools to zero and owes the shortfall
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , borrowing across both pools > refuses a borrow past the overdraft limit without consuming, then admits a fitting one
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , borrowing across both pools > a single request larger than capacity+maxDebt can never be admitted from full
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , repay-first split with two pools (exact vs oracle) > while owing, only (1-repayFraction) of each tier's inflow reaches its pool
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , repay-first split with two pools (exact vs oracle) > debt clearing mid-interval bumps the pool refill rate (kink) , matches oracle
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , refusal idempotency > two refusals at the same instant are identical and consume nothing
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , keys, reset, cost weighting > isolates keys and supports reset
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , resetMs reaches zero only at full replenishment (oracle-pinned) > matches the oracle's resetMs and a full spend succeeds right at it
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , retryAfterMs is exact across refill kinks (oracle-grounded) > waiting retryAfterMs admits; waiting less refuses; value equals the oracle
× test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , randomized cross-check against the independent oracle > matches admissions, balances and BOTH timing fields over long mixed workloads
→ expected 1186 to be 1187 // Object.is equality
× test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , randomized cross-check against the independent oracle > matches under heavy borrowing churn near the overdraft edge (debt-biased steps)
→ expected 2094 to be 2095 // Object.is equality
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , guards against standard / single-tier implementations > a sliding-window-log limiter (no debt) diverges on the borrow path
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , guards against standard / single-tier implementations > the two-tier refill is NOT a single-tier bucket: tier windows change retryAfterMs
✓ test/tidal.hidden.test.ts > TidalRateLimiter , guards against standard / single-tier implementations > respects the structural bounds and the borrow rule
✓ test/smoke.test.ts > toolkit smoke > exposes the limiter classes
✓ test/smoke.test.ts > toolkit smoke > TidalRateLimiter validates its options
