The native histogram fuzzer found a samples-per-step mismatch when
queries use the @ modifier (e.g. predict_linear({...}[2m] @ 0.000)).
The Thanos engine's step invariant operator caches the first evaluation
and replays it for subsequent steps without re-counting samples, while
Prometheus counts samples at every step. This is an optimization
difference, not a correctness issue.
Detect @ modifier usage via VectorSelector.Timestamp/StartOrEnd fields
and skip sample comparison for those expressions.
Constraint: step invariant operator uses sync.Once for caching, samples only counted on first batch
Rejected: Fix sample counting in step invariant operator | would add overhead for non-functional stat tracking
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow

count_values converts float values to string labels, amplifying tiny floating point precision differences between engines into label mismatches. For example, stdvar_over_time may compute 61.24999999999997 vs 61.24999999999998 — both correct within float64 precision, but producing different count_values labels. Constraint: float64 has ~15-16 significant digits; different evaluation order yields different last-digit results Rejected: Fix float precision in stdvar_over_time | both values are equally valid within IEEE 754 Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Sylvain Rabot <sylvain@abstraction.fr>
