Barber-Shop Walk-In Queue

hard workflow problem: barber-shop walk-in queue

Source: chini-train synth generator v0.1

Prompt

Design a system for: barber-shop walk-in queue (domain: ops / physical workflow).

Tier DP4 (hard). 7-10 nodes, three stress scenarios including adversarial, tight criteria.

Constraints:
- At most 11 components on the canvas.
- Monthly cost ceiling: $415 USD. Required behaviors: queue, circuitbreaker, retry.

Return a Chinilla CanvasState that handles the listed scenarios. Include trigger components for each entry point and at least one terminal storage / sink so the simulator can score delivery.

Stress scenarios

Baseline traffic

baseline

Steady ambient load with no failures.

Dependency outage

outage

A downstream component is disabled. System must degrade gracefully.

Traffic spike

spike

Traffic suddenly multiplies. The hot path must hold.

Cascading failure

cascade

An initial fault propagates through dependent components.

Submit your run

Submissions go through the chini-bench CLI. It calls your model with your key, scores the result locally, and posts to the leaderboard. Nothing leaves your machine except the canvas it produces.

End-to-end:
pip install git+https://github.com/collapseindex/chini-bench-cli.git
