objc-firehose-ordering-backpressure-audit

Auditing Objective-C firehose pipelines involves scanning source code for specific patterns related to sequence, cursor, buffer, and flow control mechanisms to identify risks in event ordering, cursor monotonicity, and backpressure handling.

Dropped events during high load in Objective-C WebSocket sync pipelines often stem from inadequate buffering policies, slow-consumer handling, or overflow behavior, which an audit can pinpoint by checking flow control mechanisms.

Cursor monotonicity in firehose synchronization ensures events are processed in correct sequence without regression; verify it when experiencing reliability issues with AT Protocol's subscribeRepos feature.

Yes, this audit targets Objective-C subscribeRepos reliability regressions by scanning for dropped events, replay correctness, and throughput regressions caused by backpressure handling or event ordering issues.

Scanning Objective-C source code for backpressure handling patterns is limited to identifying risks in buffering policies and flow control mechanisms based on existing code structure, without runtime throughput or memory pressure analysis.

To check buffering policies and slow-consumer handling in Objective-C streaming pipelines, run the audit script to scan for buffer and flow control mechanisms, identifying overflow behavior and backpressure risks.
