Every rule whose selector covers this component's kind or its category. Whether a rule fires depends on the design: its properties, its edges and its groups.

Synchronous call chain too deepwarning

sync-chain-too-deep

Every consecutive synchronous hop from this entry point spends part of the stated p95 latency budget, and the chain's failures multiply. More than three hops is a budget nobody is tracking.

— all of these hold:
— the design requirement `latency.p95Ms` has a value
— the longest chain of synchronous calls starting at the node is more than 3 hops long
