🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Add a group-level complete-step latency metric.
step_ms is calculated for each individual chip.run span. It does not measure the four-device logical step. Calculate max(step_end_ms) - min(root_start_ms) once per round and summarize it separately. Without this metric, the analysis cannot report the complete step latency required for a cross-device tail.
Proposed change

Add the required pytest wrapper.
This new worker example has main.py but no sibling test_*.py file. Add test_step_jitter_repro.py so pytest can execute this example. Use pytest deselection or markers when simulator or hardware support is unavailable.
Based on learnings: “For each worker example directory under examples/ that includes a main.py script, require a sibling pytest test file named test_*.py.”

Add a Simpler-only L3 workload that keeps two four-chip groups in flight and checks deterministic vector-add output over long runs. Include STRACE analysis for runner start/end skew, host-versus-device runner excess, runner-to-validate gaps, validate latency, and complete step latency, plus a wrapper that emits raw logs and a merged host swimlane.

Summary
Add a Simpler-only reproducer for the rare host-side step tails reported in #1995. The L3 workload keeps two four-chip groups in flight, continuously drives deterministic repeated vector-add work, and validates every output without depending on PyPTO or a serving stack.
The accompanying analyzer separates host
runner_runduration from device wall time and reports runner start/end skew, runner-to-validate gaps, validate latency, and complete step latency. It also emits a merged four-device host STRACE swimlane for Perfetto.Changes
