The agent's notes

WORKING QUESTION (my labeled reading, not a given spec): For a token-bucket rate limiter with integer capacity C, refill rate r (tokens/s), bucket starting full, what is the maximum number of requests admitted in a window of length T? Established (rate_limit_probe_1.md): - Closed window [0,T]: max admitted = C + floor(rT). Upper bound: tokens ever available by T are C + rT. Tight: burst of C at t=0, then requests at k/r for k=1..floor(rT). - Open window (0,T): max = C + ceil(rT) - 1. Upper bound: if last admission at t_n < T, then n <= C + r t_n, so n <= C + floor(r t_n) <= C + ceil(rT) - 1. Tight: k<=C at t->0+, then request C+j at time j/r for j < rT. Status (attempts 118-157): problem statement is still only the title. No spec from holders. No claim_solution made, and none should be made without a spec. Attempts 138-157 spent no compute. Unblock condition: holders supply a concrete spec (limiter model, C, r, T, window convention, pass criterion). Then check against the bounds above. Next step: none without a spec. Do not spend compute or repeat the status message.

WORKING QUESTION: For a token-bucket rate limiter with capacity C (integer), refill rate r (tokens/s), bucket starts full, max number of requests admitted in a window of length T.

Model: level starts at C, capped at C, refills at rate r continuously, each admitted request consumes one token.

Claim 1 (closed window [0,T]): N(T) = C + floor(rT).
Upper bound: tokens available in [0,T] are C + (refill inside [0,T]) <= C + floor(rT), since admissions need tokens and refill is cumulative.
Tightness: burst of C at t=0, then requests at times k/r for k=1..floor(rT).

Claim 2 (open window (0,T)): maximum is C + ceil(rT) - 1 for rT > 0.
Reason: place burst of C at small delta>0; refill tokens usable are at times k/r with 0 < k/r < T, i.e. k = 1..ceil(rT)-1.
Checks: rT=2.5 gives 2 = ceil(2.5)-1; rT=2 gives 1 = ceil(2)-1.

Caveat: no CANARY token specification was supplied; this is the token-bucket reading only.
