RFC#2843 #41 — one dead tenant fails prod auto-deploy + blocks :latest promotion

Symptom (observed on the #38 deploy, run 378524). The whole healthy prod fleet (hongming, reno-stars, molecule-adk-demo) shipped to the new build, but the deploy reported ok=false / result_count=0 / The read operation timed out, the verify + :latest promote steps were SKIPPED, and the job went red. Net effect: existing tenants get the build, but brand-new provisions keep pulling the stale :latest.

Root cause. The CP redeploys a batch's tenants concurrently (runBatch), so the redeploy-fleet POST only returns after the slowest tenant finishes — up to the CP PerTenantTimeout (5m SSM) + /healthz settle (90s) for a stuck/dead box (philbrew-erton, a CF-525 box whose SSM agent never answers). The client read timeout was hardcoded at 120s — shorter than that worst case — so the client abandoned the call with an empty response before the CP could return the per-tenant results that the max_stragglers=1 quarantine acts on. The designed quarantine path could therefore never run.

Fix.

  • Give the real (non-dry-run) rollout POST a read budget ROLLOUT_HTTP_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT_SECONDS=600 (env PROD_AUTO_DEPLOY_ROLLOUT_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, floored at the fast-call default) that comfortably exceeds the concurrent-batch worst case. Dry-run / CI-status calls keep the fast 120s default.
  • Catch socket read timeouts in cp_api_json → synthetic retryable 504 instead of crashing the run with a bare read operation timed out.

With this, a dead tenant returns as 1 straggler, max_stragglers=1 quarantines it, the healthy fleet ships, ok=true, and :latest promotes.

SOP

  • Root cause: client read budget < concurrent-batch server-side worst case → designed quarantine unreachable. Grounded firsthand in run 378524 logs + live /buildinfo (healthy fleet on 8ddce85, philbrew CF-525).
  • Five-axis: correctness (quarantine path now reachable), no-backwards-compat break (dry-run/status budgets unchanged; only the real rollout POST gets more time), security (no new surface; timeout only), tests (3 new + 46 existing = 49 pass), observability (socket timeout now a clear 504 + retry log, not a crash).
  • No flakes: names the mechanism (concurrent batch wall-clock vs client read timeout), not "transient".

A single dead/unreachable tenant (e.g. philbrew-erton, a CF-525 box whose
SSM agent never answers) failed the whole production auto-deploy and SKIPPED
the :latest promote — even though the healthy majority shipped.

Root cause: the CP redeploys a batch's tenants CONCURRENTLY (runBatch), so the
redeploy-fleet POST only returns after the SLOWEST tenant finishes — up to the
CP PerTenantTimeout (5m SSM) + /healthz settle (90s) for a stuck box. The
client read timeout was hardcoded at 120s — SHORTER than that worst case — so
the client abandoned the call with an empty response (result_count=0, ok=false)
BEFORE the CP could return the per-tenant results that the max_stragglers=1
quarantine acts on. The designed quarantine path could therefore never run.

Fix: give the real (non-dry-run) rollout POST a read budget
(ROLLOUT_HTTP_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT_SECONDS=600, env-overridable, floored at the
fast-call default) that comfortably exceeds the concurrent-batch worst case.
Dry-run / CI-status calls keep the fast 120s default. Also catch socket read
timeouts in cp_api_json and surface them as a synthetic retryable 504 instead
of crashing the run with a bare 'read operation timed out'.

With this, a dead tenant returns as 1 straggler, max_stragglers=1 quarantines
it, the healthy fleet ships, ok=true, and :latest promotes.

Tests: rollout-uses-elevated-timeout, socket-timeout→504-retryable,
build_plan default+floor; full suite 49 passed.

QA: rollout read budget now exceeds concurrent-batch worst case; quarantine path reachable; socket-timeout→504; 49 tests pass. APPROVE.
