Summary

Fixes #1671 in the broker fleet action path:

  • preserve a typed release_failed/release_deregistration_failed error with worker, node, and invocation correlation;
  • make worker release idempotent for already-exited workers and terminate the complete worker process group with a bounded SIGTERM/SIGKILL fallback;
  • add a sealed two-arm RelayFlow case for exact base/head broker artifacts and process + roster absence guarantees.

The existing Relaycast completion path consumes the action result and reconciles the remote roster; success is emitted only after local teardown and fleet deregistration/pruning are complete.

Verification

  • cargo test -p agent-relay-broker (1050 passed, 4 ignored; integration/doc suites passed)
  • focused process-group and correlated-error tests passed
  • npx vitest run tests/fixtures/pr-proof-contract.test.ts (88 passed, 6 skipped)
  • local head RelayFlow runner passed with the verified broker artifact

Cloud PR proof runs the base and head arms in separate Daytona sandboxes. Live Finn/remote credentials are intentionally not used in the local run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Fleet release now preserves typed failure details, terminates complete worker process trees, enforces bounded shutdown timing, filters empty project values, and adds RelayFlow and E2E coverage for process, roster, and idempotent release absence.

Changes

Fleet release reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release error correlation
crates/broker/src/runtime/fleet.rs, crates/broker/src/runtime/relaycast_events.rs
Release failures retain their causes and return typed codes with worker, node, invocation, and cause details.
Worker process-tree teardown
crates/broker/src/spawner.rs, crates/broker/src/worker.rs, crates/broker/src/runtime/init.rs
Workers use private Unix sessions or Windows Job Objects. Release and orphan cleanup terminate descendants with bounded timing. Empty AGENT_RELAY_PROJECT values are not forwarded.
Release qualification coverage
tests/relayflows/cases/1671-fleet-release-absence/*, tests/e2e/fleet/*
RelayFlow and fleet E2E coverage verifies descendant termination, roster absence, repeated release, and same-name respawn.
Release records and documentation
CHANGELOG.md, .agentworkforce/trajectories/*
The changelog and trajectory records describe the release reliability changes and qualification work.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 94558

The release reliability improvements are not yet merge-ready because Windows cleanup can leave worker descendants running, another cleanup path can lose its retry opportunity, and repository/test compatibility issues remain unresolved.

Poem

A rabbit watched the worker tree,
Then closed each branch so none could flee.
Typed errors hopped into the log,
While absent rosters cleared the fog.
Release ran twice, then slept free.

Explanation

The PR addresses typed correlated failures, idempotent release, process-group teardown, and process and roster absence coverage for [#1671]. The provided changes do not show deterministic coverage for node timeouts, stale rosters, or version-skewed handlers, which the issue lists as required scenarios.

Resolution

Add deterministic tests for node timeout, stale roster, and version-skewed handler cases. Confirm that each test verifies the required release result and cleanup behavior described in [#1671]. Ignore the pending live cloud qualification as manual validation rather than a coding requirement, but retain it as a separate release gate if required by the repository process.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Most changes support [#1671], but crates/broker/src/runtime/init.rs changes AGENT_RELAY_PROJECT handling without a stated connection to fleet release. The added active and completed trajectory artifacts are also repository metadata rather than implementation or required proof files.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated AGENT_RELAY_PROJECT change, or document its direct dependency on fleet release. Remove active and completed trajectory artifacts from the PR unless this repository explicitly requires them to be committed with implementation changes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 48.94% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 47 functions across 12 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

💡 Codex Review

if timeout(timeout_duration, child.wait()).await.is_err() {

P1 Badge Kill the process group after the wrapper exits

When the wrapper exits promptly after SIGTERM but one of its descendants ignores or delays SIGTERM, child.wait() resolves before this timeout, so the SIGKILL branch is skipped and terminate_child returns success while that descendant remains alive in the worker group. This can make fleet release deregister the worker even though its harness process is still running; the behavior is reproducible with a session-leader shell whose background child traps SIGTERM. Preserve the group ID and, after the grace period, probe and kill the group regardless of whether the wrapper itself has already exited.

Supervisor qualification gate (exact head 73b90101ab588a004ee96d0af00233244a978846): local broker/process-group tests are green, but this is not yet the requested live Fleet proof. The sealed base arm currently observes source markers plus --help; it does not execute and reproduce the original remote fleet release failure. The head arm proves a local process group disappears, while remote roster absence is inferred from deregistration queueing/source markers.

Before merge, run the exact candidate in a clean Daytona/Finn Fleet lane: spawn a real fleet-bound worker, invoke public fleet release, poll wrapper/group/descendant PID absence, poll fleet agents --all identity absence, and prove same-name re-spawn/re-release. Capture the exact base failure and exact-head success. Also measure whether the 35s AppServer release grace crosses the engine action deadline. This comment is intentionally an open qualification gate, not a request to weaken assertions.

Cloud proof run 34006431556 reached both clean Daytona arms. Base emitted its expected source-marker observation. Head failed before behavior verification because the case declares only broker-linux-x64 but invokes cargo test; the clean proof image correctly has no Cargo (spawnSync cargo ENOENT). Exact sandboxes 345fd36b-140f-4ec6-a427-bd4b4521e024 and 6d1c07b6-9c20-48d3-b72c-12f1bd33646e were independently confirmed absent after cleanup.

Repair direction: drive the exact verified broker artifact/public Fleet control path and assert descendant/process-group + roster absence in the case itself. Do not install a Rust toolchain merely to repeat a unit test. Keep the base/head behavior proof executable.

1550-1553: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use group-aware teardown for every worker failure path.

On Unix, terminate_after_writer_failure and the orphan branch in reap_exited call Tokio’s Child::start_kill(), which signals only the wrapper. These paths can leave descendants in the private process group running. Route both paths through the group signal and bounded reap used by terminate_child.

32-35: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make a descendant spawn failure terminate the stub.

process.exitCode = 1 does not stop the stub. On a spawn error the stub keeps running as a healthy agent while the PID file is never written, so the consumer's absence assertion times out waiting for release-1671-descendant.pid instead of reporting that sleep could not start.

♻️ Proposed fix
   releaseProbeChild.once('error', (error) => {
     process.stderr.write(`release probe descendant failed to spawn: ${error.message}\n`);
-    process.exitCode = 1;
+    process.exit(1);

1671-1671: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Retain the worker when orphan cleanup fails.

If terminate_child exhausts ORPHAN_REAP_TIMEOUT, this path logs the error and the surrounding code removes the WorkerHandle. The registry then loses process-tree ownership and cannot retry cleanup. A live wrapper or descendant can remain after the node stops tracking it. Keep the handle in a retryable cleanup state, or remove it only after teardown succeeds.

Wait for Windows descendants before restarting.

reap_exited removes WorkerHandle before processing RestartDecision::Restart. This drops ProcessTreeOwner, but JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE starts termination asynchronously. Restart handling can therefore run while descendants from the previous worker still exist. Wait for job processes to exit before restarting, and add a Windows regression test for this ordering.

Qualification follow-up is pushed at 941bc48dc552f760a6d02def148c25a434053419 (source fix 8ccfa75a5, tracked Trail commit after it).

Evidence for the current findings:

  • AGENT_RELAY_PROJECT is trimmed and whitespace-only values are omitted; probe spawn errors now terminate immediately and PID publication is event-driven.
  • Unix teardown owns a private setsid process group, treats only ESRCH as absent (EPERM remains live), independently polls group liveness after wrapper reaping, and never force-kills a post-wait raw PID. Windows teardown retains a kill-on-close Job Object and only uses bounded taskkill while the owned wrapper is live.
  • Release uses a dedicated 1s shutdown-writer bound plus 25s app grace plus a 2s final reap bound; the unit test asserts the composed 28s budget is below the 30s action deadline.
  • Fleet E2E now requires a fresh second PID, repeats process/node-heartbeat/engine-roster absence after the respawned release, and verifies an idempotent release retry while absent.
  • The sealed exact-head runner drives the broker artifact through public spawn/DELETE APIs (no Cargo in the case), polls PID/connection publication, proves broker + controlled Relaycast roster + descendant absence, and cleans descendants on early failure. Local exact-head result: fleet_release_reports_cause_and_proves_absence, public DELETE 25011ms, all three absence predicates true, idempotent retry passed.
  • Full broker lib: 1051 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored; focused process-group and release-budget tests pass; Rust/Prettier checks pass.

The two earlier red jobs were environmental/setup failures: Fleet E2E lacked the broker-forwarded AGENT_RELAY_PROJECT, causing the release probe PID file to be absent; Standalone macOS Smoke failed before lifecycle assertions during Relaycast registration (Max retries exceeded). Live Daytona/Finn qualification remains gated on Cloud #3360/#3353.

Follow-up on the runtime-loop finding: terminate_after_writer_failure is now synchronous. It sends SIGTERM/SIGKILL to the owned Unix process group (or requests the owned Windows child termination), while the existing reap sweep retains ownership and collects status. handle_worker_event no longer awaits teardown, so API/Relaycast handling is not held for the orphan grace interval. Commit: 076561667b495d41a5c7991df548189c17a5e80b.

Validation after this change: focused process-group and release-budget tests pass; full agent-relay-broker lib suite is 1051 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored.

1508-1508: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Attach the process-tree owner before the child exits.

On Windows, reap_removes_exited_children calls attach_process_tree(&child).unwrap() after child.wait().await. Tokio's Child::raw_handle() returns None after reaping, so attach_process_tree returns an error and unwrap() can panic.

Suggested test adjustment
-        let mut child = Command::new("sleep").arg("0").spawn().unwrap();
+        let mut child = Command::new("sleep").arg("30").spawn().unwrap();
+        #[cfg(windows)]
+        let process_tree = super::attach_process_tree(&child).unwrap();
+        child.start_kill().unwrap();
         let _ = child.wait().await;

Exact head 9455869679194f9e4af876bb1b9364b0a3917992 includes the latest qualification hardening.

  • The Fleet E2E REPO_ROOT failure at fleet-e2e.test.ts:367 was fixed by importing the existing harness constant.
  • The repeated same-name engine release correctly returns agent_not_found after tombstone/name release; the regression now retries the owning node-control DELETE /api/spawned/{name} and repeats process, heartbeat, and engine-roster absence assertions.
  • Windows attach-failure cleanup now gates taskkill /T /F on Child::try_wait proving the wrapper is live, uses the owned Child::start_kill fallback on taskkill failure/timeout, and bounds the wait in both spawn paths.
  • Sealed roster absence rejects non-success responses, including HTTP 200 with success:false.

Evidence: local broker lib 1051 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored; exact head sealed executable proof fleet_release_reports_cause_and_proves_absence in 25,010ms; format/checks passed. Exact-head GitHub workflows are running; no merge performed.

P1 Badge Use a generation-changing identity for release retries

When another process takes over the same agent name before a pending release is retried, this ID comparison does not protect the replacement: take_over_agent_identity explicitly preserves the existing agent ID (as documented in this module at lines 41-44 and 359-363) while rotating the credential to a new process. The stale cleanup therefore sees the expected ID, falls through to the name-addressed release at line 969, and can terminate/delete the live replacement on another node. The remote release needs an atomic process/token-generation guard rather than the stable agent ID.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Confirmed; this is a valid P1 and remains unresolved. take_over_agent_identity rotates the process credential while preserving the agent ID. A reproduction that changes the existing same-name replacement fixture to keep agent-old-generation reaches the forbidden /v1/agents/release POST; the current stable-ID guard therefore does not protect a takeover.

The pinned Rust SDK 7.0.0 ReleaseAgentRequest and freshly fetched Relaycast main 8e36b742ced89d5e2d4be0866a7f641b31e0acfb (packages/engine/src/routes/agent.ts, packages/types/src/agent.ts) accept only name, reason, and delete_agent. An extra client-side GET/token probe would still leave a takeover race before the POST; sending an unknown conditional field would be stripped by the schema. Fixing this safely needs an engine-supported, atomically enforced credential/process-generation condition through dispatch and completion, then broker persistence and retry wiring. I have notified the merge monitor to keep this PR unmerged. The independent local identity/restart fixes and mutation evidence are being completed separately; I am not marking this thread resolved.

Update on pushed head 79d0fbf: the single rebase onto c4f05f6 brought SDK 8.0.0, which still has no conditional release field. The same-ID takeover reproduction still sends a forbidden release POST (one on SDK 8; SDK 7 retried it three times). This P1 remains open and blocks merge.

The other eight threads are fixed and resolved. Final validation: 1,070 library tests + 16 integration tests passed (4 ignored), strict all-target Clippy passed, and all ten local mutations were caught after each named regression first passed without mutation. The full suite ran serially because a parallel run exposed an existing CLI shared-environment path race. Evidence: .agentworkforce/trajectories/relay-1672-review-0906.md.
