Search Worker Rollout Gate

Evaluate a worker deployment against max-unavailable.

Problem

You are implementing evaluate a worker deployment against max-unavailable. The input is one JSON value. Return exactly the JSON or scalar result described by the examples, with stable ordering and no extra logging. Evaluate whether a rolling deployment may safely continue under its availability budget. Explain your reasoning and complexity during interview review; the judge evaluates only the returned result.
Input contract

One UTF-8 JSON value matching the structures shown in the examples.

Output contract

One deterministic JSON value or scalar with no explanatory text.

Target complexity

O(1) time and space

Judge protocol

function-stdin-json-v1

Examples

Example 1
Input: {"desired":14,"maxUnavailable":2,"ready":13,"unavailable":1}
Output: {"canContinue":true,"minimumReady":12}

This example demonstrates the core cloud devops invariant.

Example 2
Input: {"desired":1,"maxUnavailable":1,"ready":1,"unavailable":0}
Output: {"canContinue":true,"minimumReady":0}

This example covers the empty or minimum boundary.

Constraints

  • Input is valid UTF-8 JSON and is at most 64 KB.
  • Output must be deterministic for identical input.
  • Do not use network access, persistent filesystem writes, subprocesses, or environment secrets.
  • Handle the empty or minimum boundary shown in the examples.
