arXiv:2607.27626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety-critical IoT systems such as industrial closed-loop control, V2X coordination, and remote teleoperation require every sensor's peak Age of Information (peak AoI, also abbreviated PAoI) to stay below a hard per-slot deadline, not merely an average bound. Existing approaches meet this requirement only under restrictive assumptions: stochastic channels for Whittle-index AoI, simulator rollouts for deep reinforcement learning, or sublinear cumulative violation for long-term constrained online convex optimization. Under adversarial coefficients, OCO-PAoI-Hard guarantees zero per-slot violation of the modeled AoI state under one-step viability and O(sqrt(T)) regret against any static safe comparator; packet-level safety requires stronger service assumptions. Our key observation is that the fractional peak-AoI deadline collapses exactly to an affine half-space constraint on the resource-allocation vector, turning hard real-time scheduling into time-varying constrained online convex optimization over a polyhedral safe set. A strictly causal proposal-shield-update loop enforces feasibility through one Euclidean projection per slot, the gradient step preserves no-regret behavior, and the classical virtual queue is reduced to an a-posteriori certificate. We establish closed-form static and dynamic regret bounds, a matching Omega(sqrt(T)) minimax lower bound, a margin-safe variant against execution noise, and a deadline-induced competitive ratio. On a four-sensor adversarial fluid-model trap channel, OCO-PAoI-Hard attains zero …
