Research direction

Read docs/specs/2026-09-08-p6-vm-process-manager-design.md §5.2 and the referenced sections in docs/specs/2026-09-09-p4-microvm-sandbox-design.md. Amend P6 §5.2 with the capacity and realism arms, their knee meanings, and the moca-experiments driver reference; then update the three E8 references in deploy/vm/README.md. Done means the spec assigns sandbox capacity to P4 and no longer points to a nonexistent local driver.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The moca half of rossoctl/moca-experiments#10, formerly #254, which moved with the other experiment issues on 2026-10-02.

That issue splits E8 (VM density and saturation) into two arms:

  • a capacity arm: the supervisor and worker tier's turn concurrency and throughput, with the sandbox tier deliberately non-binding;
  • the existing realism arm, with calibrated tool duty.

It says itself that this is "a scope change against P6's spec as written, not just a driver tweak". docs/specs/2026-09-08-p6-vm-process-manager-design.md §5.2 deliberately keeps the sandbox tier as a watched variable. The driver work belongs in moca-experiments now, but the spec lives here, so the amendment is this repo's.

Scope:

  • Amend P6 §5.2 to describe the two arms, and what each one's knee means.
  • Say that the sandbox tier's own capacity is P4's subject (docs/specs/2026-09-09-p4-microvm-sandbox-design.md §7.2 E10, §7.3 E11), so E8 stops competing with it.
  • Point the spec at moca-experiments for the driver. Today no E8 driver exists on moca's main or in moca-experiments.
  • deploy/vm/README.md mentions "E8 rungs" in three places (lines 61, 618 and 629), for a driver that isn't in either repo. Reword them to point at moca-experiments, or drop them.
