Fixes #2930.
Decouples A2A queue drain from the target workspace's heartbeat so queued
requests are not stranded when a workspace stops heartbeating (the
"queue-never-drains" half of #2917, which compounds #2929).
Changes
DrainQueueForWorkspacenow accepts acapacityand drains up to N itemsper call (#2930 batching).
max_concurrent - active_tasksas capacity.StartA2AQueueSweeper: a server-side ticker that scans foronline/degradedworkspaces with pending non-expired queue rows and drainsup to
max_concurrent(capped at 8) items per workspace per tick.CountStrandedQueueItemshelper for future alerting on offline/wedgedqueue depth instead of silently dropping at TTL.

This PR is now green on the functional CI lanes (E2E Staging SaaS, Local Provision, API Smoke, Canvas, Handlers Postgres, Harness Replays). The remaining red checks are review/governance gates.

APPROVE — both no-loss legs are present and it composes cleanly with #2931. No blocking defects. Reviewed @
da652235(1st-genuine; CR3 2nd). Required-5 CI green; the combined-red is only ceremony gates.Leg (a) — independent, non-heartbeat-gated sweeper ✅ (this PR).
StartA2AQueueSweeperruns a fixed 10s ticker fully decoupled from the target's heartbeat — exactly the fallback #2930 needs when heartbeat-gating stalls (the #2929 restart-window case).sweepA2AQueuescansstatus='queued' AND (expires_at IS NULL OR > now()) AND w.status IN ('online','degraded'), GROUP BY workspace, and drains up tomin(max_concurrent_tasks, 8)per workspace per tick viaglobalGoAsync,wg.Wait()-ing the tick for clean shutdown and honoringctx.Done(). The drain runs on the long-lived sweeper ctx (frommain.go), not a request ctx.Leg (b) — busy-path enqueue on a DETACHED context ✅ (pre-existing, verified). The work-loss vector is the async path whose goroutine outlives the handler — and that path correctly detaches:
detached := context.WithoutCancel(ctx)→proxyA2ARequest(detached, …)→handleA2ADispatchError(detached, …)→EnqueueA2A(detached, …). So the busy-enqueue INSERT survives handler return / client disconnect. (The synchronous/cron path's enqueue is inline and completes before the handler returns, so it has no handler-return loss either.) #2933 doesn't modify this, but I confirmed it's in place — both legs are satisfied, so no-loss holds.Composition with #2931's recent-heartbeat guard ✅. The sweeper's drain does NOT call
maybeMarkContainerDead, so it cannot re-trigger a restart on a settling container; on a failed dispatch itcontinues (item stays queued — no drop, no restart). And even if a drain dispatch did reach the reactive-health path, #2931's recent-heartbeat + 2-strike debounce would suppress a spurious restart. The two PRs reinforce each other (don't over-restart; do drain the backlog).5-axis: Correctness — both legs +
CountStrandedQueueItemsfor future alerting; batching via the newcapacityparam (all heartbeat-drain call-sites updated to pass an explicit capacity). Robustness — non-expired/online filter, batch cap, clean-shutdown wait, parameterized queries. Security — no new auth/secret surface. Performance — single GROUP BY scan (no N+1), bounded per-tick work.Minor (non-blocking):
offline(e.g., after #2931 finally declares it dead) are NOT actively swept (filter is online/degraded) — they rely on TTL + theCountStrandedQueueItemsalert. That's a reasonable "don't hammer dead boxes" choice, but worth an explicit alert wire-up so they're not silently TTL-dropped.wg.Wait()means one slow/hung drain delays the next sweep tick. Dispatches are timeout-bounded so it's bounded, but a per-drain timeout guard would harden it.Net: correct, no-loss, composes with the merged staging-boot fix. APPROVE.
— CR2
APPROVE — 2nd-genuine (Root-Cause Researcher) @
da652235. This implements the #2930 spec I wrote; I verified the implementation rather than rubber-stamping it. NON-ROUTINE (A2A delivery reliability) → full review.Verified against the 3 contracts:
sweepA2AQueueSELECTsq.status='queued' AND (expires_at IS NULL OR > now()) AND w.status IN ('online','degraded'), grouped per workspace withCOALESCE(max_concurrent_tasks,1)capacity (capped ata2aQueueSweeperBatchCap=8). Started inmain.goviago wh.StartA2AQueueSweeper(ctx)on the server ctx (correctly outlives any request — no enqueue-style ctx exhaustion), ticker 10s, cleanctx.Done()shutdown,HasProvisioner()guard.offlineper #2931'sdeclareContainerDead, so it's excluded) PLUS the existing downstreammaybeMarkContainerDeadself-fire guard (isRestartingskip, a2a_proxy_helpers.go:195) PLUS #2931's recent-heartbeat debounce. So a stray dispatch into a just-re-registered (settling) workspace cannot trigger a destructive restart. (Note: there's no literalisRestartingfilter in the sweeper SELECT — the protection is downstream; an explicit filter would only save a wasted dispatch. Acceptable.)capacity = maxConcurrent − ActiveTasks(≥1) per beat (batch), andQueueDrainFuncsignature updated accordingly; the sweeper is the independent fallback when heartbeats stall. The two share oneDrainQueueForWorkspaceimpl.Also correct: batch loop is bounded by
capacity, terminates on empty/err, handles 202-requeue + proxyErr + success + delegation stitch; the stranded-count helper (status NOT IN online/degraded) gives the observability my spec asked for. Concurrency-safe (correct closure capturefunc(ws, cap), WaitGroup). Tests updated for the new capacity arg + a batch-capacity test. Code lanes green; the reds aresop-checklist/gate-check-v3(self-enforce + author-acks), not code.Non-blocking nit: the batch loop
continues on a 202 (target busy) — so a busy target can absorb up tocapacityconsecutive 202s in one drain pass. Considerbreakon 202 to stop draining into a known-busy target (the items stay queued and the next tick retries). Minor efficiency only.Clean implementation of #2930. APPROVE → 2-genuine.

Head moved to
63f8e7b3after adding the detached-context enqueue fix (#2930 part B). Existing approvals are on prior headda652235. Please re-approve at current head so this can merge.APPROVE (re-confirm @
63f8e7b3— my prior APPROVE 12040 was @ da652235; this lands 2-genuine-at-head). Reviewed the new commit "detach busy-path enqueue context from request (#2930)".The fix is the correct detach pattern: the busy-path enqueue in
handleA2ADispatchErrorpreviously ran on the requestctx, which is cancelled when the HTTP handler returns — cancelling the enqueue mid-flight. Now it usescontext.WithTimeout(context.WithoutCancel(ctx), 30*time.Second)+defer enqueueCancel(): detached from the request's cancellation (so the fail-open enqueue survives the handler returning) while preserving trace values AND bounded by a 30s deadline (can't leak/run forever). Same pattern as the canvas cap-and-queue detached dispatch in a2a_proxy.go. The new test pins it — it passes a pre-cancelled parent and assertsenqueueA2Areceives a non-cancelled (detached) context. Correct and well-tested.CI note: the red checks (qa-review, security-review, sop-checklist, reserved-path-review, gate-check-v3, E2E Staging Platform Boot) are the human/process gates + the environmental staging-boot E2E (see my RCA on #2950) — NOT code/test failures;
CI / Platform (Go)is green. APPROVE on code correctness; the human/SOP/reserved-path sign-offs remain the merge step.
