From 4765feea8063fe070d8091545db867247e552572 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Molecule AI Dev Engineer B (MiniMax)" Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 12:46:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(a2a-queue): preserve 5-attempt cap on transient gateway-origin drain failures MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PM 2026-06-21 RCA found that DrainQueueForWorkspace was treating every 502/503/504 from the upstream proxy as a 'dead agent unreachable' failure and burning the 5-attempt terminal cap on otherwise-healthy workspaces (online, routable, direct A2A PONG OK). A workspace with a Cloudflare-tunneled 502 page that lasted 5 ticks would silently terminal-fail the queued request, stranding it at 'failed' until TTL. Shape of the fix: 1. New isGatewayOriginFailure(proxyErr) helper that distinguishes gateway-origin (CDN 5xx, push-route blip, 'no healthy upstream') from confirmed-dead (Classification=upstream_dead, set when maybeMarkContainerDead probes IsRunning and the container is genuinely gone). 2. New MarkQueueItemTransientRetry function that returns the queue row to 'queued' status WITHOUT advancing the 5-attempt cap. Mechanism: DequeueNext (line 256-262) increments attempts at dispatch time; the new function undoes that increment via GREATEST(attempts - 1, 0) so a transient retry preserves the counter for actual dead-agent failures. 3. DrainQueueForWorkspace gates on isGatewayOriginFailure(proxyErr) && h.hasRecentHeartbeat(...) to take the new path. On match: invalidate the cached agent URL (db.ClearWorkspaceKeys so the next retry re-resolves from DB), re-queue via MarkQueueItemTransientRetry, log with full structured context (queue_id, workspace_id, resolved URL, status, classification). Otherwise: existing MarkQueueItemFailed path. 4. invalidateCachedURLForDrain is a thin wrapper around db.ClearWorkspaceKeys for symmetry with the other drain instrumentation. 5. DrainQueueForWorkspace logging now carries queue_id, workspace_id, resolved URL, HTTP status, and failure classification on every outcome (success, 202 re-queue, transient retry, hard fail). classificationOrUnknown renders an empty classification as 'unknown' so log scrapers never see a trailing-whitespace field. Tests (4 new, 4 existing updated): - TestDrainQueueForWorkspace_TransientGatewayFailure_StaysQueued pins the regression: online workspace + queued item + 502 from a CF-tunnel error page + recent heartbeat → MarkQueueItemTransientRetry (NOT MarkQueueItemFailed), 5-attempt cap preserved. - TestDrainQueueForWorkspace_TransientGatewayFailure_InvalidatesCachedURL verifies the URL cache is evicted on the transient path so the next drain re-resolves from DB. - TestDrainQueueForWorkspace_GatewayFailure_NoRecentHeartbeat_StillFails pins the gate: gateway-origin status without a recent heartbeat keeps the old MarkQueueItemFailed path (we do NOT want to re-queue on a genuinely-dead workspace). - TestDrainQueueForWorkspace_UpstreamDead_BypassesTransientPath pins that isGatewayOriginFailure short-circuits on Classification=upstream_dead — confirmed-dead agents MUST be allowed to trip the 5-attempt cap. Existing 502/503/504 tests got expectRecentHeartbeatAbsent + expectRuntimeLookup mocks so the test stays deterministic. The 500 test (non-gateway-origin status) was left without the heartbeat mock because that path is not consulted for non-dead-origin status. All 15 drain tests pass; full ./internal/handlers/... suite green (38.8s); go vet clean.

Fix shape (option 1 from researcher's suggestion: a real next-at/not-before field honored by DequeueNext): 1. New column a2a_queue.next_attempt_at TIMESTAMPTZ (nullable; NULL = no backoff constraint, the default state for fresh rows and for the legacy MarkQueueItemFailed path). Migration 20260621120000_a2a_queue_next_attempt_at.{up,down}.sql. 2. New partial index idx_a2a_queue_next_attempt_at on the dispatch hot-path shape (workspace_id, priority DESC, enqueued_at ASC) filtered to status='queued' AND next_attempt_at IS NOT NULL AND next_attempt_at > now() so the planner still serves the common (no-backoff) case from idx_a2a_queue_dispatch. 3. DequeueNext's WHERE clause now reads: AND (next_attempt_at IS NULL OR next_attempt_at <= now()) This is the gate that breaks the tight-retry loop. When MarkQueueItemTransientRetry sets next_attempt_at = now() + 5s, the same for-loop iteration that just requeued the row cannot re-dequeue it on the very next iteration even if the row is still the highest-priority item. 4. MarkQueueItemTransientRetry now also sets next_attempt_at = now() + interval '5 seconds'. The 5s constant is exposed as transientRetryBackoff in the const block near the existing a2aQueueSweeperInterval — short enough that recovery on the next heartbeat is not perceptibly delayed (heartbeat cadence is 5-30s), long enough to break the loop and give the next sweep (10s interval) a chance to pick up the row. 5. New regression test TestDrainQueueForWorkspace_TransientRetry_BackoffBreaksCapacityLoop: capacity=2, single queued item, 502 from the agent, recent heartbeat → first iteration requeues via MarkQueueItemTransientRetry; second iteration's DequeueNext returns (nil, nil) because the only row is now backoff-gated. The expectDequeueNextEmpty mock on iteration 2 is the load- bearing assertion — without the WHERE clause the second DequeueNext would have re-claimed the row and the test would fail on unmet expectations. Test updates: - expectDequeueNextOk / expectDequeueNextEmpty / DequeueError test / TestDequeueNext_PreservesFullBody_NoTruncation: SQL string updated to include the next_attempt_at filter (QueryMatcherEqual compares verbatim). - expectTransientRetry: SQL string updated to include the next_attempt_at assignment.

PostgreSQL rejects non-IMMUTABLE functions in index predicates — now() is STABLE (transaction-time), not IMMUTABLE — so the DDL would fail at deploy time before the queue code could run. CI's Platform and Handlers-Postgres-Integration jobs went red on this head for exactly that reason. Fix: replace the volatile predicate with a STABLE one. The new index shape is: CREATE INDEX idx_a2a_queue_next_attempt_at ON a2a_queue (workspace_id, next_attempt_at, priority DESC, enqueued_at ASC) WHERE status = 'queued' AND next_attempt_at IS NOT NULL; Both `status = 'queued'` and `next_attempt_at IS NOT NULL` are IMMUTABLE so the predicate passes DDL. next_attempt_at is a key column (not in the predicate) so the planner can range-scan it during the gated case. The existing idx_a2a_queue_dispatch still serves the common NULL case via row-filter on the (now correctly PG-valid) DequeueNext WHERE clause. Code direction is unchanged from the prior head: the DequeueNext filter `(next_attempt_at IS NULL OR next_attempt_at <= now())`, the MarkQueueItemTransientRetry 5s not-before, and the new capacity=2 regression test (TestDrainQueueForWorkspace_TransientRetry_BackoffBreaksCapacityLoop) all stand. Only the migration's index predicate was wrong. All 16 TestDrainQueueForWorkspace_* pass; full ./internal/handlers/... green (39.8s); go vet clean.
