Proof: Live investigation showed doran-1 entered NodeNotReady with kubelet SystemOOM and TLS/control-plane timeouts while near-intents-ingest, history-writer, and operator-dashboard were the largest Node memory consumers. This commit adds websocket publish backpressure for the raw quote firehose and pod memory guardrails for the affected services.
Assumptions: Dropping quote frames while Kafka publishing is backpressured is safer than allowing unbounded in-flight publishes to take down the single-node cluster; retained Kafka/Postgres history remains best-effort under overload until the platform has enough capacity for full raw retention.
Still fake: This does not add durable queue spillover for skipped raw websocket frames, does not resize the node, and does not prove fee-complete trading PnL.
Proof: npm test; npm run operator-dashboard:build; node --test test/near-intents-ws.test.mjs test/solver-relay-ws.test.mjs; PYTHONPATH=. python3 test/bootstrap_script_static_test.py; PYTHONPATH=. python3 test/render_release_manifest_test.py; PYTHONPATH=. python3 test/repo_deployments_test.py; PYTHONPATH=. python3 test/ntfy_manifest_test.py; kubectl kustomize deploy/k8s/base.
Assumptions: nested error events emitted during WebSocket close are the same close attempt, not independent evidence that should be logged twice.
Still fake: Notification emissions are limited to credited deposits, completed withdrawals, and completed trades with durable inventory movement; generic alert notification policy remains disabled.
Proof: NEAR Intents quote ingest now schedules reconnect on websocket error even when the runtime does not emit close; regression test, dashboard build, and full npm test pass.
Assumptions: The observed live ingest outage after the 0.49 percent rollout was caused by the startup socket_error path leaving the websocket disconnected; reconnecting preserves the existing pair filter and topics without changing trading size or funds exposure.
Still fake: Venue-native terminal fill events, fee attribution, realized per-trade PnL, and full inventory-skew strategy controls remain incomplete.
