When experimental.node_agent_rollout.enabled is set in the shared Agent config, this wires the trace-agent to the same experimental.node_agent_rollout.lock_path that the core Agent run path uses. On installs with APM enabled where both agent and trace-agent are expected to run, whichever process acquires that single lock keeps the other stuck in Wait() indefinitely, so either APM or the core Agent never starts; use process-specific lock configuration or keep the trace-agent out of the core-Agent ownership gate.

Gate the Windows service startup path too
This adds the rollout gate only to the Cobra agent run path, but the packaged Windows service starts through StartAgentWithDefaults in command_windows.go, which still builds the app with plain fxutil.OneShot and no agentlifecyclefx.Module. With rollout enabled on Windows, the core Agent service bypasses the lock and never publishes prepared/active state, so service rollouts can run ungated or report misleading lifecycle state; wire the service path as well or explicitly disable the setting there.

Explanation
Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%
Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:
- ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
- ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
- ➖ = no significant change in performance
A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".
For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:
-
Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.
-
Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.
-
Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
Replicate Execution Details
We run multiple replicates for each experiment/variant. However, we allow replicates to be automatically retried if there are any failures, up to 8 times, at which point the replicate is marked dead and we are unable to run analysis for the entire experiment. We call each of these attempts at running replicates a replicate execution. This section lists all replicate executions that failed due to the target crashing or being oom killed.
Note: In the below tables we bucket failures by experiment, variant, and failure type. For each of these buckets we list out the replicate indexes that failed with an annotation signifying how many times said replicate failed with the given failure mode. In the below example the baseline variant of the experiment named experiment_with_failures had two replicates that failed by oom kills. Replicate 0, which failed 8 executions, and replicate 1 which failed 6 executions, all with the same failure mode.

What does this PR do?
Adds a default-disabled prepared-startup primitive for the core Agent and direct trace Agent.
Each process constructs its Fx graph, identifies its own Pod and DaemonSet through the local kubelet Pod list, and waits without starting Fx hooks when an older sibling Pod exists. It publishes
preparedso native DaemonSet surge can consider the replacement Ready. After Kubernetes removes the old Pod, the replacement publishesactivating, starts its hooks, then publishesactive. A fresh install with no sibling activates immediately.Lifecycle state records the writer PID and Linux
/procstart time so probes cannot accept a stale Prepared marker after a container restart. Kubelet errors, missing self data, and ambiguous Pod ordering fail closed.Motivation
Agent DaemonSet updates currently delete the old Pod before the replacement image is pulled and its processes are constructed. Slow pulls and startup therefore become collection downtime. Prepared startup lets native
maxSurgefinish image pull, initialization, and Agent construction while the old Agent remains active.Describe how you validated your changes
Additional Notes
This is an experimental Linux-only primitive, disabled by default. The first pilot supports only the core Agent and direct trace Agent. Process Agent, system-probe, security Agent, logs, OTel, trace-loader socket activation, and other long-running node-Agent containers remain outside this PR.
