Guard Flag Remediation Report

Turn the number of waiters behind a held guard flag into an enter, backoff, or page remediation action.

guard_flag_remediation.js

const waiters = 0;
const guardLimit = 2;

function remediate(count) {
    const acquired = 1;
    let action = "enter";
    if (count >= 1 && count <= guardLimit) {
        action = "backoff";
    } else if (count > guardLimit) {
        action = "page";
    }
    console.log(`waiters=${count} acquired=${acquired} ${action}`);
}

remediate(waiters);

guard contention The waiter count behind a held guard flag is kept as a scalar, so the remediation action stays deterministic and never depends on closure or object identity.
