Bug report (python repo "scheduler"):
4 findings from this week's triage. They have separate causes and are not related to one another; all 4 need fixing.

1. The scheduler hands us more work than our resource pool can support.
   With a pool of 3 "cpu" units and two tasks that each request 2, a single call to
   next_batch comes back with both of them. Starting both then blows up with a
   ResourceExhausted from deep inside the pool.
   Each task on its own fits, so the pool's accounting looks right to us -- it's
   the batch that seems wrong. Please fix it so a batch is always startable.

2. Conditional tasks are running when they shouldn't.
   We gate an optional deploy step with the condition `staging or canary and green`.
   Our intent is the usual reading: deploy when staging succeeded, or else when
   both canary and green did. In practice, a run where staging succeeded but green
   did not still skips the deploy, and a run where only canary succeeded runs it.
   The condition language is documented as binding the two operators the same way
   Python does. It doesn't appear to. Please fix it.

3. Two runs of the same unchanged graph produce different schedules.
   We compare scheduler decisions between runs as part of our release checks, and
   tasks that share a priority come back in a different order depending on how the
   graph happened to be built. Downstream tooling assumes a run is reproducible,
   so this shows up as spurious diffs.
   The engine is documented as making the same decisions in the same order for the
   same graph. Please restore that.

4. Two problems with the order we execute graphs in, which may share a cause.
   First, the order is not stable: building the same graph twice, adding the tasks
   in a different order each time, gives two different execution orders. Our
   release checks diff these, so every unrelated change shows up as a difference.
   Second, a graph containing a dependency cycle is no longer rejected. It used to
   raise; now it comes back with an order that silently omits the tasks in the
   cycle, and the run just never executes them.
   Dependencies are still respected in the orders we get, so this is not about
   correctness of the ordering itself -- it is about it being reproducible and
   about cycles being caught.

Repository files (containing the defects):
README.md: # flow

A small workflow engine: directed graphs of tasks, run state, and a scheduler
that decides what may run next.

```python
from flow import Task, TaskGraph, ResourcePool, Scheduler

graph = TaskGraph([
    Task("fetch"),
    Task("build", depends_on=frozenset({"fetch"})),
    Task("test",  depends_on=frozenset({"build"})),
])
scheduler = Scheduler(graph, ResourcePool({}))
state = scheduler.new_state()

for task_id in scheduler.next_batch(state):
    scheduler.start(task_id, state)
    scheduler.finish(task_id, state, result=True)
```

## Layout

| module | role |
|---|---|
| `task.py` | `Task`, `ResourceRequest` — what a unit of work declares |
| `graph.py` | `TaskGraph` — dependency structure, traversal, topological order |
| `state.py` | `RunState` — per-task status, the legal transitions between them |
| `scheduler.py` | eligibility, batching, and the start/finish/fail transitions |
| `resources.py` | `ResourcePool` — named capacities held for the duration of a task |
| `retry.py` | `RetryPolicy` — attempt counting and deterministic backoff |
| `calendar.py` | `Calendar`, `Window` — when tasks are permitted to start |
| `expressions.py` | the condition mini-language used to gate tasks |
| `validation.py` | static checks run before a graph executes |
| `serialize.py` | lossless persistence of a run in progress |
| `metrics.py` | counters and an event timeline |
| `clock.py` | injectable time source, so runs are reproducible |

## Design notes

**Determinism.** Anything that could vary between runs is pinned. Ties in
priority are broken by task id, topological order sorts its ready set, and
retry backoff carries no jitter. Two runs of the same graph make the same
decisions in the same order.

**The scheduler does not execute.** It reports what is eligible; the caller
runs the work and reports back. Admission rules are therefore testable without
running anything.

**Half-open intervals.** A calendar window is `[start, end)` throughout, so
adjacent windows neither overlap nor leave a gap.

**Failure propagates.** A task that will never succeed skips everything
downstream of it, because those tasks depend on a result that will not exist.

Reference fix:
README.md: # flow

A small workflow engine: directed graphs of tasks, run state, and a scheduler
that decides what may run next.

```python
from flow import Task, TaskGraph, ResourcePool, Scheduler

graph = TaskGraph([
    Task("fetch"),
    Task("build", depends_on=frozenset({"fetch"})),
    Task("test",  depends_on=frozenset({"build"})),
])
scheduler = Scheduler(graph, ResourcePool({}))
state = scheduler.new_state()

for task_id in scheduler.next_batch(state):
    scheduler.start(task_id, state)
    scheduler.finish(task_id, state, result=True)
```

## Layout

| module | role |
|---|---|
| `task.py` | `Task`, `ResourceRequest` — what a unit of work declares |
| `graph.py` | `TaskGraph` — dependency structure, traversal, topological order |
| `state.py` | `RunState` — per-task status, the legal transitions between them |
| `scheduler.py` | eligibility, batching, and the start/finish/fail transitions |
| `resources.py` | `ResourcePool` — named capacities held for the duration of a task |
| `retry.py` | `RetryPolicy` — attempt counting and deterministic backoff |
| `calendar.py` | `Calendar`, `Window` — when tasks are permitted to start |
| `expressions.py` | the condition mini-language used to gate tasks |
| `validation.py` | static checks run before a graph executes |
| `serialize.py` | lossless persistence of a run in progress |
| `metrics.py` | counters and an event timeline |
| `clock.py` | injectable time source, so runs are reproducible |

## Design notes

**Determinism.** Anything that could vary between runs is pinned. Ties in
priority are broken by task id, topological order sorts its ready set, and
retry backoff carries no jitter. Two runs of the same graph make the same
decisions in the same order.

**The scheduler does not execute.** It reports what is eligible; the caller
runs the work and reports back. Admission rules are therefore testable without
running anything.

**Half-open intervals.** A calendar window is `[start, end)` throughout, so
adjacent windows neither overlap nor leave a gap.

**Failure propagates.** A task that will never succeed skips everything
downstream of it, because those tasks depend on a result that will not exist.
