A sweep may deploy 210 rows (available) in chunks of 80. Three declared
blocks hold exactly that when there is no priority line, but priority
rows get a chunk of their own that is never topped up with regular rows.
Nine priority rows therefore occupied a whole block, left the regular
rows 2 x 80 = 160, and 42 rows of budget went unused.
Adding a block to the YAML alone would not have changed that:
matrix.chunks_of handed the split slots.chunk_count(), which is
min(ceil(available / chunk size), INFINITO_CI_MAX_CHUNKS) and ignores
the priority seam, so the plan still stopped at three blocks.
call-orchestrator.yml now declares test-deploy-chunk-3, gated on chunks
0 to 2 like every chunk gates on all before it, and report-main-failures
and done need it. INFINITO_CI_MAX_CHUNKS is 4, one above what the budget
fills, and slots.chunk_blocks() returns it. chunks_of hands the split
every declared block; available still caps the rows, and a chunk whose
slice comes back empty skips its deploy. chunk_count() stays the "chunks
filled" figure of the budget report.
Tests: the split spends 9 + 80 + 80 + 41 = 210 rows with a spare block;
chunks_of plans three chunks from chunk_blocks=3 while chunk_count=2
(the previous wiring yields [1, 10]); an integration guard requires the
declared chunk jobs to equal INFINITO_CI_MAX_CHUNKS and to exceed
ceil(available / chunk size) by one, and fails on the stale value 3.
A shell that inherited INFINITO_CI_MAX_CHUNKS=3 keeps failing that guard
until it is restarted; make dotenv-force rewrites .env.

The instructions test held a job of its own that picked one random role per
run, so a README's Production block was proven roughly once per 265 roles.
The replay now rides on a deploy row instead: no extra runner, and every role
the sweep touches gets its documented one-command deploy exercised.
The row is the role's smallest variant -- fewest services enabled -- because
that is the shape the README describes, and it is chosen among the variants
the sweep actually deploys, so a row cut as redundant coverage cannot silently
drop the role from the test. A role qualifies only when its README carries a
Production block and the guide's own mode is one the role runs and tests.
The marked entry carries the guide mode in `instructions` and a 📖 in its job
title, between the variant number and a priority ⭐. The guide mode is
independent of the mode the rotation gave the row: a swarm row still replays
in compose. The step runs last in the deploy job, after the swarm teardown,
because the replay deploys the role a second time and needs the runner's
ports.
call-test-instructions.yml, cli.meta.ci.guide_select and the `instructions`
dispatch input go with it. `redundant()` moves next to the marker so the
chunker, the plan table and the marker share one definition.
The plan table trades its 📊 Weight column for 📖 Instructions; nothing read
the weight any more, so it leaves the matrix entries too.

A run-wide draw proved one distribution and said nothing about the other four, while reporting green. Both are matrix-row axes now, assigned by the same deterministic rotation mode and tor already use, so one sweep exercises every distribution and every filesystem.
The two read the row's position like an odometer, the distro as the low digit. Turning both on the position directly covers only n of the n x m pairs whenever the pools are the same length, and no sweep unlocks it.
Both are part of a row's identity: glyphs in the job label, columns in the plan table, shards in the artifact name. Both are selectable through %distro and /filesystem, and a retrigger replays the distro off a failed title. It leaves the filesystem out, because a title states the kind the matrix assigned and a deploy may have fallen back from it.
A row's filesystem is a preference unless a human names it, on the run or in a token. Reading the matrix's own narrowing as a demand would fail rows for every transient condition the applying step is built to tolerate.

A clone and a row an earlier one already embeds prove nothing the sweep does
not already prove, but both still took a slot. Drop them when the regular line
is chunked, so the budget buys unique coverage only, and mark them in the plan
table with a status of their own instead of letting them read as 'beyond the
budget'.
A priority row is exempt: an operator who pins a clone asked for that deploy,
and dropping it would be the silent withdrawal 6605c7ef9 just removed.
The cut sits in chunks_of, not in entries_of, so the plan still lists every
candidate while no chunk can see one. 55 of 254 rows are cut on this branch.

The regular line was queried with selection.names(leading) as its blacklist,
and names() yields role ids only -- so pinning one variant in the priority
line withdrew every variant of that role from the sweep. Run 31927586060
deployed nextcloud only as #10 and #5; the other twelve variants existed
nowhere.
Blacklist only the tokens that name no variant, and drop the pinned
(role, variant) pairs from the regular rows afterwards. The variant-level cut
cannot go into the query filter: its tokenizer has no '#', so an axis token
aborts the parse.

The regular rows began wherever (sweep * capacity) % count pointed. On run 210
that was offset 68: chunk 0 opened at candidate 69, the coverage-first head of
the list went undeployed, and no two runs could be compared because the window
moved with the run number. A run that looked wrong turned out to be merely
rotated, and finding that out meant recomputing the arithmetic by hand.
The rotation is gone. Chunk 0 reads the ranking from the top unless an offset
says otherwise, and the offset is an input now, threaded from the manual form
through the orchestrator and the deploy call down to the matrix builder. The
plan renderer takes the same flag, so the table shows the window the run will
take.
The offset is a row count or a selection token. A token is the honest form:
the ranking shifts whenever a variant appears, so 'offset 84' means something
different tomorrow while 'web-app-nextcloud#5' still means the same row. Axes
the token leaves open match anything, so a bare role name starts at its first
row and a pasted job label starts at exactly the job it names. A token that
matches no regular row aborts rather than silently starting at the head an
operator meant to skip.
The run title carries it as ⏩ followed by the value, and only when one was
asked for, so a rotated-looking run says so in its own name and the retrigger
reads it back from there when a job log has expired.
resume_from_chunk leaves the manual form with it. Skipping whole chunks was
the coarse way to say 'carry on further down'; the offset says it exactly and
keeps the rest of the chain intact. The orchestrator input stays for the other
entry points.
What this gives up is automatic tail coverage. Rows beyond the budget are
reached by moving the offset, widening the budget or narrowing the selection,
not by waiting for consecutive sweeps to walk the list.

The plan told you a row is being deployed, never that another row in the same
sweep already proves whatever it would prove. The complexity matrix has always
known -- covered_by holds the id of the earlier row that embeds this one -- but
the number stopped at the matrix, and 46 of 256 rows carry one.
The matrix entry now carries the row's discovery id and that covering id
through to the plan, which renders them as two columns and drops them again
before the matrix reaches the deploy jobs.
The id column had to change with it. It was a running count over the rendered
lines, so a covered_by of 1 pointed at a row that numbering does not have. It
is now the discovery id, the same number the complexity matrix prints, which is
what makes the reference resolvable inside the table it appears in.
Two tests indexed their columns by position and broke on the new one; they ask
_COLUMNS for the index now, so the next column does not break them again.

A whitelist or priority entry was a role name and nothing else, so a run
could not ask for "this variant, on swarm, behind the onion". It either
covered everything the role offers or waited for the rotation to come
around to the combination that broke.
An entry is now a token that may carry the axes, either as
web-app-x#0,2@swarm+tor or as the job label pasted straight back out of
the run that failed. What a token leaves open still belongs to the line
it stands in: priority covers every remaining combination in one sweep,
whitelist keeps the rotation and its position in the matrix. A pin the
row cannot take aborts the matrix rather than dropping the row, because
a dropped row reports a green run for a combination that never ran.
The onion state spells out as +clearnet, not as a -tor suffix: svc-net-tor
would otherwise read as role svc-net on the clearnet.
Chunk membership still follows the discovery ranking, which is what
decides who makes the budget cut, but the rows inside a chunk are sorted
by display name, variant, mode and onion state, so a chunk's job list
reads like the plan table instead of like the sweep's rotation.

One discovery query per run replaces one per mode, so the row basis, the
ranking and the budget cut all speak the same role#variant unit. The
result is deployed in serial chunk blocks rather than three parallel
mode matrices.
Chunk size is derived, not pinned: GitHub cancels a job queued for
INFINITO_CI_QUEUE_HOURS, so with INFINITO_CI_CONCURRENCY runners free a
chunk holds concurrency * floor(queue_hours / the deploy job's
timeout-minutes) rows. Assuming every job burns its full timeout is
deliberately pessimistic -- no job can outlast it -- so the drain
estimate can only overshoot.
The run job cap bounds the sweep as a whole; rows beyond it roll into
the next sweep, whose regular line starts at an offset so consecutive
sweeps walk the whole list instead of re-testing the same head. Priority
rows lead every sweep, never move with that offset, and force a chunk
boundary at the seam so a chunk is either all priority or all regular.
sequencing.py goes with the mode lines it ordered: chunking restarts the
queue clock at a controlled size, which is what serialising the modes
was approximating with three buckets of arbitrary size.
