✅ Article highlight: *Determinism Profiles, Scheduler Consistency, and Replay Honesty* (art-60-234, v0.1)
TL;DR:
This article argues that determinism is not a binary badge.
A serious system should not just say “this run was deterministic.” It should say *what kind* of determinism claim is being made: exact reproducibility, epsilon-bounded replay, scheduler-stable replay, or a degraded posture due to platform drift. In other words, replay honesty needs profiles, not slogans.

Why it matters:
• turns “deterministic enough” into an explicit, auditable claim
• separates exact replay, epsilon-bounded replay, and scheduler stability instead of blurring them
• makes platform drift and topology changes visible instead of silently laundering weaker replay results
• prevents teams from confusing bundle validity with strong DET validity
What’s inside:
• a practical determinism ladder: *EXACT_REPRODUCIBLE*, *EPSILON_BOUNDED*, *SCHEDULER_STABLE*, *PLATFORM_DRIFT_DEGRADED*
• *determinism profiles* that define what replay truth is being claimed
• *epsilon-bound policies* for declared approximate replay
• *scheduler consistency reports* for ordering and partial-order stability
• *DET run comparisons* with explicit replay honesty statements about what matched exactly, approximately, or not at all
Key idea:
Do not ask only:
*“was it deterministic?”*
Ask:
*“under what determinism profile, under what epsilon policy, under what scheduler consistency report, and with what replay honesty statement did this scope remain exact, approximate, scheduler-stable, or degraded?”*
