Let me explore the codebase first to understand the project context, then draft the memo.
Now let me invoke the scientific skills and draft the memo.
Now I have all the data. Let me write the memo applying a rigorous scientific-method framework to the incident evidence.
Memo written to incident-memo-2026-04-12.md. Here's the summary:
Four falsifiable hypotheses, ranked by evidence strength:
| # | Hypothesis | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | user-preferences namespace competing for memory in shared 8 GB cluster, triggering mass LRU evictions | Primary cause — strong support (uprefs keys at 845K consuming ~710 MB, 80x eviction surge, correlated hit-ratio collapse) |
| H2 | Session key-schema change (sess: -> sess:v2:) causing rolling cache misses | Secondary — gradual ramp contradicts a true thundering herd |
| H3 | 7-day uprefs TTL shielding low-value keys from eviction, inverting LRU priority | Plausible amplifier of H1 |
| H4 | Consistent-hash ring hotspot shift from new key patterns | Insufficient data |
Key finding: The +4 GB RAM mitigation confirms the memory-pressure theory — it helped but didn't restore baseline because the uprefs namespace is still growing toward its 1.2M-key peak.
Top recommended action for the review: Disable ENABLE_UPREFS_CACHE in a canary group. If hit ratio recovers to >90%, H1 is confirmed and you can then right-size (dedicated instance or TTL reduction from 7d to 24h).
