Latency work for the p95/p99, built on top of #132 (this branch includes its commit; merge that first, or review only the last commit).
See where the time goes
ac_queue_wait_seconds{stream}: enqueue to a worker reading the job, taken from the Redis stream id's timestamp, so no new field on the message.
ac_job_stage_seconds{stage}: claim, load_tests, run, persist, publish, beside the existing compile histogram. README gains a "Performance Tuning" section with the PromQL for each and the sizing rules.
Less waiting per job
A worker now fetches the job's tests from Redis while it claims the job in PostgreSQL, instead of one after the other.
Java and Kotlin start with the serial collector and shared class data (-XX:+UseSerialGC -Xshare:auto; javac gets the same through -J), which also lowers each run's thread count.
Fewer connections, truthful overload
One Redis pattern subscription per gateway process serves every SSE client (it was one per client; 5,000 at the benchmark's extreme tier). The subscription is confirmed before the first client registers, so subscribe-before-replay still holds. A client that falls behind has its channel closed, which the SSE handler already turns into a reconnect that replays from the event log, so nothing is dropped silently. PubSub.Wait stops the subscription.
When the queue is full, 429 carries Retry-After equal to the time the queue needs to fall under the admission limit at the measured completion rate (1 to 60 s; the old fixed 10 s when no rate is known yet).
Not done, and why
A pre-warmed Go build cache: go-judge needs a writable cache directory inside each sandbox, and I could not try mounts without Docker. Worth an experiment on the real host.
Running one engine and go-judge pair per NUMA node, and raising go-judge's -pre-fork: documented in the README, but they are deployment changes to measure on the 256-thread host.
Batching database writes: results and verdict are already written in one transaction.
Testing
go vet clean; go test -race ./... passes for every package except internal/db (needs Docker, fails the same way on development). New tests cover queue-wait parsing, the drain-rate tracker, the hub (shared subscription, isolation, cancellation, slow client, stop) and the Retry-After computation. No load run: the gain is unmeasured.
Summary by cubic
Latency work for p95/p99, built on top of #132 (merge that first, or review only the last commit). Adds queue-wait and per-stage histograms, cuts Redis connections from one subscription per SSE client to one per gateway, overlaps the database claim with the Redis test load, and makes Retry-After reflect the measured drain rate.
Observability
ac_queue_wait_seconds{stream} derives the wait from the Redis stream ID timestamp, so no extra field on the message.
ac_job_stage_seconds{stage} covers claim, load_tests, run, persist, and publish; the README gains a Performance Tuning section with PromQL and sizing rules.
Less waiting, fewer connections

The worker loads tests while claiming a submission and records durations for processing stages. Queue consumers record queue wait time in a histogram. The README and changelog document these metrics and related execution tuning.
PubSub clients share a Redis pattern subscription. The hub routes events to matching clients and closes clients that fall behind or when the subscription stops.
The gateway calculates Retry-After from queue depth and measured job completion rate. It uses a 10-second fallback when the rate is unavailable or the queue lookup fails, and bounds estimates to 1–60 seconds.
Java and Kotlin JVM options internal/sandbox/language.go, internal/sandbox/args_test.go
Java compile and run commands and the Kotlin run command add tiering, serial-GC, and class-data-sharing options. Tests check the command arguments.
When the submission queue is full, clients may be told to retry after a few seconds even though the queue will not reopen. Following that header adds load during overload. Fix the depth measure used for admission and Retry-After before merging.

Fail the test when a queue entry cannot be inserted.
If every XAdd fails, the stream remains empty. The measured-rate call then returns 1, which still passes the 1–3 assertion. Check each XAdd error so this test cannot report success without its required queue depth. As per path instructions, review for “tests that pass even when the logic is wrong (asserting too little).”

Base admission and Retry-After on outstanding jobs, not XLen.
XACK removes an entry from the pending list, but the entry stays in the stream. Completed jobs do not lower XLen. Rejected requests add no entries, so once a stream reaches admissionMaxQueueDepth, AdmissionCheck (internal/ratelimit/limiter.go:122-127) keeps rejecting. The only trimming is approximate MaxLen: 100_000 on XADD, which does not reopen a stream below the limit.
The new busyRetryAfter subtracts the limit from the same unchanged length (internal/gateway/handler.go:871-875). It can advertise a 1-second retry while admission stays closed. Clients that follow the header retry into the same rejection and add load during overload.
Admission and the estimate need a count of outstanding work, such as pending entries or consumer-group lag. Retained stream entries should not count as queued jobs.

Review comment at @internal/gateway/handler.go around lines 871 - 875:
The XLen-based depth in busyRetryAfter does not reflect outstanding jobs because
acknowledged entries remain in the stream; update busyRetryAfter and the
AdmissionCheck path to use a count of pending work or consumer-group lag,
ensuring retained completed entries do not keep admission closed or produce a
misleading Retry-After. Establish the appropriate Redis count semantics and
preserve existing fallback behavior if that count cannot be obtained.

Apply the upper bound before converting to int.
After roughly two minutes without completions, a previously measured rate can become so small that depth / rate exceeds the range of int. Go makes the result of that conversion implementation-dependent. RetryAfter can then return a value other than the intended 60-second cap. Compare the floating-point estimate with hi before converting it. (go.dev)

Bound sub.Receive with a timeout.
startHub runs under p.hubMu (see getHub) and calls sub.Receive(ctx) with a context that has no deadline. If Redis accepts the connection but does not answer the subscribe, Receive blocks. Every Subscribe call and stopHub (called by Wait) then block on hubMu. Shutdown hangs.
Use a context with a timeout for the confirmation.

If a caller invokes Subscribe after Wait, the stopped hub can register the channel after closeAll. The channel can then remain open without delivery, and its entry can remain in h.subs. Current production shuts down the HTTP servers before calling Wait, so this is a defensive lifecycle guard.
Suggested fix
type hub struct {
mu sync.Mutex
+ closed bool
subs map[string]map[chan eventlog.Event]struct{}
Add a regression test that calls Subscribe after Wait and expects an already-closed channel.

Guard the hub subscription lifecycle across `hub.add`, `Subscribe`, `closeAll`,
and `Wait`: once shutdown begins, `Subscribe` must not register a channel, and a
subscription attempted after `Wait` must return an already-closed channel
without leaving an entry in `h.subs. Preserve synchronization so a concurrent
shutdown cannot allow registration after `closeAll` has finished.

Fix the assertion: it counts series, not observations.
CollectAndCount returns the number of series. The test fails when the package runs with -count=2 or more. On the second run the ac:test-wait series already exists, so got equals before and not before+1.
The test also passes when the observed value is wrong. A wrong unit, a missing clamp, or an observation of 0 all create the same series. Assert the sample count and the sum for a label value that is unique to this test.

Assert exact JVM argument tokens.
strings.Contains(strings.Join(run, " "), flag) can pass when a flag appears inside another argument. The compile assertion checks only that compile[1] starts with -J; it does not verify the required -J-XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1, -J-XX:+UseSerialGC, and -J-Xshare:auto arguments. Check each required token directly, including Java's -XX:+TieredCompilation, so the test fails for incomplete or malformed commands.

Observe the run stage before the error check.
Line 291 runs only after runTestsBatched succeeds. When the batch run fails, the return at line 283 skips the observation. The failed runs are often the slowest, for example timeouts and sandbox errors. They then never appear in ac_job_stage_seconds{stage="run"}. The README tells operators to use this histogram to attribute a slow p99.
