📝 Summary

Risk Score: Normal - Addressing the comments needed

DefaultTrafficSelector now applies fractional sample rates with ThreadLocalRandom.nextDouble() < sampleRate. Rates below 0 remain unselected, and rates at or above 1 remain fully selected.

Tests cover reciprocal and non-reciprocal rates across 10,000 selections. The tests require the observed rate to remain within 2 percentage points of the configured rate.

The change affects request validation selection only. No production outage path is introduced.

Fractional traffic sampling now uses a random double compared with the configured sample rate. Rates at or above 1 remain always selected, and non-positive rates remain unselected. New tests check reciprocal and non-reciprocal rates over 10,000 requests.

Suggested labels: coderabbit-risk:normal

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9f52f

The change is mergeable; adding boundary assertions would complete coverage for the stated sample-rate requirements.

The statistical tests have a very low flake rate, and the boundary rates have no coverage.

At n=10,000 the standard deviation is at most 0.005. The 0.02 tolerance is about 4 sigma, so a false failure is roughly 1 in 16,000 per rate. Across 5 rates, that is acceptable for CI. This matches the retrieved learning to assert distribution properties for non-deterministic code.

The tests do not cover 0.0 (none selected) or 1.0 (all selected). Issue #407 requires both. Both are deterministic, so exact assertions are safe. Add them.

✅ Proposed boundary tests
+    @Test
+    public void testSampleRateBoundaries() {
+        assertSampleRateIsApproximatelyCorrect(0.0);
+        assertSampleRateIsApproximatelyCorrect(1.0);
+    }
+
     private void assertSampleRateIsApproximatelyCorrect(double sampleRate) {

Based on learnings: avoid count-exact assertions for non-deterministic code. Assert distribution properties instead.
