What
Comprehensive real-Postgres regression tests for the workspace-server cron scheduler firing loop, filed under SOP rule internal#765 (regression-coverage). New file:
workspace-server/internal/scheduler/scheduler_integration_test.go(build tag//go:build integration,TestIntegration_prefix to match the CI-runfilter).The existing
scheduler_test.gois sqlmock-only — it pins which SQL statements fire but structurally cannot validate (a) theactivity_logs $3::jsonbcast / invalid-UTF-8 wedge surface (#2026), (b) the row state aftertick()/fireSchedulerun, or (c)sweepPhantomBusy'sNOT IN (SELECT … activity_logs …)set-semantics (which had no test at all). A SQL regression here = fleet-wide silent cron outage (#85 ran 12h).Tests added (all real-PG, watch-fail-first)
TestIntegration_TickFiresAndWritesBack— inserts a dueworkspace_schedulesrow, runstick(), asserts: A2A proxy invoked once with canvas-style empty callerID + logActivity=true;last_run_atset,next_run_atadvanced into the future,run_count=1,last_status='ok'; acron_runactivity_logsrow with valid queryable jsonbrequest_bodycarryingschedule_id.TestIntegration_InvalidUTF8PromptSanitizedIntoJsonb(#2026) — prompt with raw0x80/0xff; asserts the fire completes and the$3::jsonbINSERT lands (does not wedge), and the stored prompt is valid UTF-8 with the bad bytes replaced. Drop thesanitizeUTF8()wrap → this fails on real PG while sqlmock stays green.TestIntegration_TickErrorStatusWriteBack— proxy transport error →last_status='error',last_errorpersisted (#152),run_count=1,next_run_atstill advanced (no tight-loop), erroractivity_logsrow witherror_detail.TestIntegration_SweepPhantomBusy(#2149 — previously untested) — 5-workspace fixture (phantom/stale → reset to 0; recent-activity → untouched;status='removed'→ skipped; idle → untouched) +current_taskcleared. Exercises the real subquery semantics.TestIntegration_NativeSchedulerSkipAdvancesNextRunAt— native-scheduler workspace: fire skipped (proxy 0 calls) butnext_run_atadvanced,run_countunchanged,last_run_atstill NULL.CI wiring (so it actually gates)
.gitea/scripts/detect-changes.py: extended thehandlers-postgresprofilehandlersfilter to includeworkspace-server/internal/scheduler/so a scheduler change triggers the job..gitea/workflows/handlers-postgres-integration.yml: added aworkspace_schedulestable-presence sanity check and a secondgo test -tags=integration ./internal/scheduler/ -run "^TestIntegration_"step. Reuses the existing migrated sibling-Postgres (all needed tables —workspaces,workspace_schedules,activity_logswithactive_tasks/max_concurrent_tasks/current_task/consecutive_*columns — land via the migration replay).Why DRAFT
I cannot compile/run Go or boot Postgres locally. This is a DRAFT for CI + CR2 to validate. CI must confirm:
-tags=integration(imports/signatures:New, unexportedtick,sweepPhantomBusy,scheduleRow,SetNativeSchedulerCheck,mdb.DBswap; packagescheduler).TestIntegration_*PASS against current-correctscheduler.go.internal/scheduler/+ the workflow + the script, so it should trigger).workspace_schedulestable presence check passes after migration replay.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
Ready for review — undrafted + WIP prefix removed.
internal#795 fix pushed in
b1178c96:The scheduler integration fixture helper
insertWorkspacewas inserting rows withstatus=active, but theworkspace_statusenum (migration043_workspace_status_enum.up.sql) does not includeactive. Valid values areprovisioning/online/offline/degraded/failed/removed/paused/hibernated/awaiting_agent/hibernating.This caused all five scheduler integration tests to fail at fixture setup with:
Fix: changed fixture SQL from
active→onlineand updated the helper comment to cite enum validity.onlineis the correct status for runnable workspaces in the scheduler cron-fire scenario.Scope of full PR:
workspace-server/internal/scheduler/scheduler_integration_test.go— real-Postgres scheduler regression tests (+542 lines, net-new file).gitea/scripts/detect-changes.py— path filter addition (+5 lines).gitea/workflows/handlers-postgres-integration.yml— workflow trigger addition (+12/-1 lines)All production code untouched. CI should now run green on the Handlers Postgres Integration lane.

fullstack-engineer 5-axis APPROVE on PR #2154 (cp#2149 scheduler real-PG integration tests) — review #8468 PENDING
Verdict: APPROVE. 542-LoC real-PG regression suite for the workspace-server cron scheduler. Fills the #2149 gap (sqlmock structurally cannot validate the jsonb INSERT, row write-back state, or sweepPhantomBusy subquery).
5 tests, all real-PG, all watch-fail:
TestIntegration_TickFiresAndWritesBack— full firing loop happy path (A2A boundary + write-back + activity_logs jsonb carrying schedule_id)TestIntegration_InvalidUTF8PromptSanitizedIntoJsonb— #2026 regression coverageTestIntegration_TickErrorStatusWriteBack— error path persists with last_status='error' + error_detailTestIntegration_SweepPhantomBusy— 5-fixture matrix for the never-tested NOT IN subquery (phantom/recent/stale/removed/idle)TestIntegration_NativeSchedulerSkipAdvancesNextRunAt— native-skip UPDATE path (proxy NOT invoked, next_run_at still advanced)Gitea API PENDING note (third time this session): review #8468 carries the full 5-axis verdict (body_len ~7700, head
b1178c968d1470197eaa1cc7c553edb8dec3cfc0) but is in PENDING state. Same Gitea API limitation — REST cannot create APPROVED, only UI submit does.Non-blocking observation: test uses the old
os.Getenv + t.Skippattern. PR #2174's already-merged workflow preflight catches the case before t.Skip, so functionally safe. Consider migrating torequireIntegrationDBURLfor symmetry once helper is exported.For 65eb9e22 2-genuine-engineer-ack gate: my PENDING #8468 is 1st engineer ack.

CI fix pushed for TestIntegration_InvalidUTF8PromptSanitizedIntoJsonb.
Root cause: Postgres TEXT rejects raw bytes 0x80/0xff at INSERT time.
Fix: insert valid prompt into DB fixture, then call fireSchedule directly with a scheduleRow containing invalid bytes — still exercises the #2026 sanitizeUTF8 regression path.
Ready for re-review.
PR #2154 (cp#2149 scheduler real-PG integration tests) — fullstack-engineer 5-axis review
Verdict: APPROVE. Comprehensive 542-LoC real-PG regression suite for the workspace-server cron scheduler. Fills the exact gap that #2149 identified (sqlmock structurally cannot validate the jsonb INSERT, the row write-back state, or the sweepPhantomBusy subquery). Reuses the existing handlers-postgres-integration workflow with minimal additions (scheduler added to detect-changes profile,
workspace_schedulesadded to required-tables list, new step that runs the tests).1. Correctness — PASS
Five tests, each with explicit "watch-fail" comments documenting the regression target:
TestIntegration_TickFiresAndWritesBack— the core happy path. Asserts (a) A2A proxy fired exactly once with the right workspace + empty callerID + logActivity=true (canvas-style scheduler fire), (b) row write-back landed (last_run_at set, next_run_at advanced into the future, run_count=1, last_status='ok'), (c) acron_runactivity_logs row exists with queryable jsonbrequest_bodycarrying the schedule_id — proving the$3::jsonbcast accepted the payload (#2026 path).TestIntegration_InvalidUTF8PromptSanitizedIntoJsonb— #2026 regression coverage. Inserts a prompt with raw0x80and0xffbytes, asserts (a) the fire still completed, (b) the cron_run activity_logs row landed, (c) the stored prompt is valid UTF-8 with bad bytes replaced. sqlmock would stay green here (it doesn't parse the jsonb payload); real Postgres catches the wedge.TestIntegration_TickErrorStatusWriteBack— error path. Proxy returnscontext.DeadlineExceeded, asserts (a) last_status='error' + last_error populated, (b) next_run_at still advanced (no tight-loop), (c) activity_logs row has status='error' + error_detail text. The run_count still bumps on error (correct — the run happened, it just failed).TestIntegration_SweepPhantomBusy— the never-tested phantom-busy subquery. 5-fixture matrix:phantomWS: active_tasks=3, no recent activity → swept to 0recentWS: active_tasks=2, activity 1 min ago → stays at 2staleWS: active_tasks=1, activity 30 min ago → swept to 0removedWS: active_tasks=4, status='removed' → stays at 4 (status guard)idleWS: active_tasks=0 → untouched (not >0)This is the kind of set-semantics (NOT IN subquery with status filter) that absolutely needs a real DB.
TestIntegration_NativeSchedulerSkipAdvancesNextRunAt— native-skip UPDATE path. Workspace reports native scheduling, asserts (a) proxy NOT invoked, (b) next_run_at still advanced (no tight-loop), (c) run_count NOT bumped and last_run_at stays NULL (no fire occurred). This is the inverse of the core test — proves the skip path's UPDATE is real.2. Robustness — PASS
integrationDBhelper hot-swaps the package globalmdb.DBwith propert.Cleanupto restore the prior value.t.Cleanupis the right choice (notdefer) because it runs even ont.Fatal.activity_logs → workspace_schedules → workspacesso a partial prior run can't leave orphan rows.t.Helper()on every fixture helper so failure line numbers point at the assertion, not the helper.conn.PingContextaftersql.Openso a postgres-start failure surfaces as a clear ping error, not a downstream "no rows" mystery.t.Parallel()— the package-global swap races across parallel tests. The file-level comment calls this out explicitly. Correct decision.3. Security — PASS
recordingProxyuses canned responses.INTEGRATION_DB_URLis read viaos.Getenvonly — no fallback, no logged value.context.DeadlineExceeded) does not leak the proxy error text to logs in a way that could exfiltrate anything (it's a synthetic Go error).4. Performance — PASS
INSERT/SELECTcalls.recordingProxyis in-memory, no I/O.5. Readability — PASS

Test uses
os.Getenv+t.Skippattern (the old style). PR #2174 (already merged) added arequireIntegrationDBURLhelper thatt.Fatalfs in CI vst.Skips locally, plus a workflow-level "Preflight — INTEGRATION_DB_URL must be present" step. The workflow preflight already catches the case before the test cant.Skip, so this is functionally safe — but for symmetry, consider migratingintegrationDBhere to callrequireIntegrationDBURLonce the helper is exported. Not a blocker — the workflow preflight is the load-bearing defense.Detect-changes.py profile merge rationale. The change merges the scheduler package into the existing
handlersprofile (with an inline comment) rather than creating a newschedulerprofile. This is correct — the tests reuse the same migrated Postgres and the samehandlers-postgres-integration.ymlworkflow. Creating a new profile would have meant duplicating the postgres-start + migration-replay + required-tables-check steps.Watch-fail comments document test intent explicitly. Each test's leading comment names the specific regression it guards. This is the right shape for #2149 — future contributors who try to "simplify" one of these tests will see the exact regression they're enabling.
mdb.DBpackage global swap is the only viable approach given the production code reads from the package global, not via dependency injection. The test does the minimum invasive thing: save → swap → t.Cleanup restore. No monkey-patching, no build-tag-conditional production code paths.For 65eb9e22 2-genuine-engineer-ack gate: my APPROVE is the 1st engineer ack.
