DST Commitments proposal Q1 2026 (#344)
Draft version of the 2026Q1 commitments. I maintained old names, but I guess this can be changed to logos-* if necessary.

Help Codex with testing and benchmarking new features.
20+
21+
### Background
22+
23+
We want to learn specific, actionable information

about Codex's behaviour
25+
and how it is evolving over time
26+
with each new release
27+
and with each thing we are specifically asked to check and test.
28+
29+
We will use a combination of real world testing,
30+
theoretical analysis and experiments.

## Description
16+
17+
DST lab is a set of machines that are mainly used in a composed Kubernetes cluster.
18+
In this environment, we can do a set of experiments to test regressions,
19+
new functionalities and features, or experimental changes on any decentralized system.
20+
In these experiments, we look for abnormal behaviors, we do measurements to study
21+
the performance and robustness of the system. These results can be also used to compare
22+
with theoretical results and analyze the scaling behaviors of the systems.
23+
At the same time, we will work on improving the lab's resources and time allocation,
24+
while allow provisioning to other teams dedicated machines if they are needed.

73+
#### Description
74+
Design a set of metrics/dashboards that can be used to monitor the health of the lab.
75+
The metrics should be useful to detect abnormal behaviors and to detect potential issues.
76+
What we want to achieve with this is to be sure that we can compare experiments from one
77+
week to a different week being confident that the results can be trusted, without the need
78+
of repeat the same experiment again.

## Description
17+
18+
We will create tools to help DST efficiency.
19+
These tools can be composed of utilities for Kubernetes,
20+
or any other kind that fits the necessities of DST and other projects.
21+
As projects might share common necessities, this tasks will be considered
22+
as a scaffold for DST tools, adapting the tools for each project if it needs.
23+
The primary focus will be on adapting the necessities of the Waku team for
24+
the log parser tool. This will comprise retrieving information from a given
25+
message id, history of discovered peers, subscriptions, while having good
26+
performance and supportability.
27+
Additionally, the project will define workflows that facilitate the creation
28+
and execution of specialized scenarios. These scenarios will assist in
29+
the analysis of libp2p and Gossipsub, supporting studies focused on
30+
adversarial conditions and control message behavior.
