From 547b088b7b27eaf24dc875e2aa2333dffa2510f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wshallwshall Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 21:21:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] =?UTF-8?q?adr:=200157=20=E2=80=94=20demotion=20safety?= =?UTF-8?q?=20(fence=20scope=20on=20post-claim=20writes,=20bounded=20graph?= =?UTF-8?q?=20stop)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Status: Proposed. Nothing built. Two clauses need an owner decision: C1 (which post-claim writes carry a precondition) and C6 (does demotion get an enforced deadline, and what happens to an inbound that cannot meet it). An HA re-check found the leadership lease itself SOUND -- DB-clock expiry on both backends, atomic acquire/renew, a real leader_epoch token checked inside the claim transaction. Scopes B (failover vs count-and-log) and C (Postgres vs SQL Server divergence) were probed and CLEARED, not assumed. Two things around it are wrong: F1 -- the epoch fence guards SOME claims and nothing after them. claim_ready (the UNORDERED path) carries no epoch predicate on either backend, and every post-claim disposition write resolves by bare id with no epoch, owner or status precondition -- while release_claimed two methods away does carry AND status. The sharp one is dead_letter_now: a demoted node assigning a TERMINAL disposition and finalizing the message, breaching the store finalizer's single authority, on a row a DEAD marker means nothing will ever re-claim. F2 -- demotion budgets DETECTION, never the STOP. _check_fence flips a boolean and cancels no listener, worker or in-flight send. Measured budget on stock defaults is ~8.0s, minus a renew round trip bounded only by command_timeout=30 -- exactly equal to leader_lease_ttl_seconds, so the margin can reach zero and the validator (ordering-only) never notices. Against that, teardown stops inbounds SEQUENTIALLY at up to 10.0s per socket listener and UNBOUNDED for file/DB/DICOM inbounds, at a 1,500-connection target. Decision is six clauses. The two that invert the obvious fix: guard writes that make a row TERMINAL and never one that returns it to PENDING (fencing the L1 hand-over converts a permitted duplicate into a forbidden strand), and the resolve predicate must fail OPEN where the claim predicate fails closed (a rejected resolve leaves the row INFLIGHT, which on SQL Server is a strand). Also records the sequencing asymmetry found while verifying: SQL Server has NO periodic in-flight recovery at all -- reclaim_expired_leases is Postgres-only and the runner's hasattr gate is the sole exclusion -- so a row left INFLIGHT outside a promotion is an unbounded strand TODAY, with no HA scenario involved. Postgres bounds the same case at roughly reclaim_interval + lease_ttl. Corrects a code comment attributing a teardown-ordering constraint to "ADR 0066 D3"; that decision does not exist (grep -c D3 -> 0). Single-node SQLite is byte-identical, structurally. The general silent-controls class this belongs to is ADR 0158's subject, not this one's -- cited, not restated. --- ...t-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md | 404 ++++++++++++++++++ docs/adr/README.md | 1 + 2 files changed, 405 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md diff --git a/docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md b/docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..788c4583 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md @@ -0,0 +1,404 @@ +# ADR 0157 — Demotion safety: fence scope on post-claim writes, and a bounded graph stop + +**Status:** Proposed **Date:** 2026-08-01 + +> Proposed only.

Gated on `[cluster].enabled`, `[store].backend` in +`{postgres, sqlserver}` (SQLite rejected at config load), `[store].pool_size >= 2`. Engine sharding and +`[cluster]` are mutually exclusive and fail closed ([`__main__.py:2372`](../../messagefoundry/__main__.py)). + +A re-check of the leadership-lease construct found the lease algebra **sound** — expiry is evaluated on +the DB clock on both backends, acquire/renew is one atomic statement, and the `leader_epoch` fencing +token is real and genuinely checked inside the claim transaction. Scope B (failover vs the count-and-log +invariant) and scope C (Postgres/SQL Server divergence) were probed and cleared, not assumed. + +**The invariant that decides everything:** at-least-once **permits duplication and forbids stranding or +loss**.

It is `dead_letter_now` — a demoted node assigning a terminal +disposition and finalizing the message, breaching *"the store finalizer is the single authority"* +(CLAUDE.md §2). A DEAD row is never re-claimed, so H2 skip-and-complete cannot heal it. + +Also unguarded: the cross-owner stranded-lease reclaim that is the **first** statement of each FIFO claim +transaction (`postgres.py:2981-2991` and twins). An epoch-rejected claim returns an empty result set +rather than raising, so the transaction still **commits** the re-pend. + +### F2 — demotion budgets detection only, never the stop + +`_check_fence` ([`cluster.py`](../../messagefoundry/pipeline/cluster.py)) sets `_is_leader = False` and +`_leader_epoch = None` and nothing else.

The fence baseline is stamped **after** the renew + returns, and that round trip is bounded only by `[store].command_timeout = 30` + ([`settings.py:505`](../../messagefoundry/config/settings.py)) — which **exactly equals** + `leader_lease_ttl_seconds = 30.0` (`settings.py:2904`). `_fence_ordering` relates heartbeat/fence/ttl + only. **The margin can be zero or negative and no validator notices.** + +Teardown cost against that ~8.0 s: `_teardown_unsafe` sets `_stop` +([`wiring_runner.py:2481`](../../messagefoundry/pipeline/wiring_runner.py)) then runs the **sequential** +source loop at `:2497-2498` *before* the dispatchers at `:2505-2508`. Each socket listener costs up to +**10.0 s** — 5.0 client grace plus 5.0 `server.wait_closed()`, both off `_CLIENT_SHUTDOWN_GRACE = 5.0` +([`mllp.py:111`](../../messagefoundry/transports/mllp.py)), a module constant with no config surface and +no relation to lease timing. Every File/RemoteFile/Database/DICOM inbound is **unbounded**: `_stop.set()` +then `await asyncio.gather(self._task, return_exceptions=True)` with no cancel and no timeout +([`file.py:448-454`](../../messagefoundry/transports/file.py)). `_stop_graph` wraps nothing in `wait_for`. + +So **one** blocked socket inbound already exceeds the budget; N serialize linearly, and the project +targets **1,500 connections**. On the Windows/NSSM deployment target, `mllp.py:1373-1379` documents an +observed ProactorEventLoop wedge (#55) that burns the full cap. + +Partial mitigation that does not close it: `_stop` is shared, so no *new* rows are claimed during the +overrun. The residual is one in-flight episode per PROCESSING lane across up to 256 lanes. + +### F3 — a false premise, now corrected in all three places + +`postgres.py`'s `recover_inflight_on_promotion` and `engine.py`'s SQL Server `reset_stale_inflight` call +both justified themselves with *"the prior leader has stopped processing"*. F2 shows that does not +follow. Corrected in `bc9ccd73`; a **third** site missed by that commit was corrected in `6c81c65e`. + +That the first correction's enumeration was incomplete is itself the defect class it was fixing — see +**Consequences**. + +### The asymmetry that decides sequencing + +Postgres stamps a row lease on every claim and the leader runs a periodic `reclaim_expired_leases` at +`reclaim_interval_seconds = 30.0` against `lease_ttl_seconds = 60.0`. A Postgres row left INFLIGHT is +**latency (~90 s worst case), never a strand**. + +**SQL Server has no periodic in-flight recovery at all.** `reclaim_expired_leases` is defined on the +Postgres store alone (**zero** definitions in `sqlserver.py`); the runner is gated on +`reclaims_inflight() and hasattr(self.store, "reclaim_expired_leases")` +([`engine.py:1062`](../../messagefoundry/pipeline/engine.py)) — and `SqlServerCoordinator.reclaims_inflight()` +returns **True**, so the `hasattr` is the sole exclusion. Its only recovery is the on-promotion +`reset_stale_inflight`. **A SQL Server row left INFLIGHT outside a promotion is an unbounded strand** — +and `stage_dispatcher.py:918-919` already banks the cancel path on that recovery +(*"leave the whole prefix INFLIGHT for reset_stale_inflight"*). + +This is a strand that exists **today**, with no HA scenario involved. + +--- + +## Decision — the demotion-safety contract + +**C1 — Fence direction: guard writes that make a claimed row TERMINAL; never guard a write that returns +a claimed row to PENDING.** + +Guarded: `mark_done`, `dead_letter_now`, `complete_with_response`, `mark_failed`'s **DEAD branch**, and +the batch twins. Not guarded: `release_claimed`, `reschedule_claimed`, `mark_failed`'s **retry branch**, +and every stage handoff. + +The dominant write on the demotion path is the L1 pre-send bail (`wiring_runner.py:4138-4145`), which +hands the row to the successor. Fencing it leaves the row INFLIGHT instead — a recovery delay on +Postgres, a **strand** on SQL Server, on the one path that today hands over instantly. An ex-leader +re-pending a row the successor is mid-delivering is duplicate-direction (**permitted**); fencing it is +strand-direction (**forbidden**). + +**C2 — Two predicates of opposite polarity, each named once.** + +- `_EPOCH_GUARD_CLAIM` — today's form, **fail-closed** on a missing lease row. Declining work is free. +- `_EPOCH_GUARD_RESOLVE` — **fail-open** on a missing lease row: + `COALESCE((SELECT ll.leader_epoch FROM leader_lease ll WHERE ll.lease_key = :key), :held) <= :held`. + +On a resolve the polarity inverts: a rejected `mark_done` leaves the row INFLIGHT, which on SQL Server is +a strand. Reusing the claim idiom verbatim would ship a mass-strand bug. Extract both as per-backend +constants and test that neither appears at the other's sites. + +**No `status='inflight'` conjunct.** `reclaim_expired_leases` is owner-blind by its own docstring and can +re-pend the current leader's own long-running row; today that leader's `mark_done` still lands. A status +conjunct would reject it and force a genuine re-send — a duplicate manufactured on exactly the long-hold +WAN lanes. The epoch does not fire there (same node, same term), so the conjunct would be the only thing +firing, and firing is worse. + +**C3 — A fenced write is all-or-nothing and a no-op to the caller.** Zero rows affected ⇒ roll back the +enclosing transaction (discarding the `delivered_keys` row, the `message_events` row and the +`_maybe_finalize_message` call), return via the existing `if row is None: return` shape, bump a +`fenced_write` counter, log WARNING, fire the AlertSink once. + +Note honestly *why*: a persisted ledger row would record a **true** fact (`mark_done` is reached only +after a successful send), and the successor's H2 skip would then resolve the row without re-sending — so +rollback is not "avoiding a loss". We roll back because a ledger row without a resolved queue row is a +half-applied disposition asserted by a node that is not the authority. **Cost booked: one extra duplicate +per fenced resolve.** + +**C4 — A demoted node retains its stale epoch; it does not clear it.** `_stop_graph` currently calls +`set_leader_epoch(None)`, reasoning that a demoted node should carry no stale token. **The polarity is +backwards:** the guard string is omitted entirely when the epoch is `None`, so `None` means *no fence* +while a stale token fails closed. Delete the clear, correct the comment. Safe because `_start_graph` +pushes `current_epoch()` unconditionally on every promotion and no API path resolves a queue row. + +**C5 — Fence every claim path, including `claim_ready`.** With `claim_ready` open, a demoted node in +teardown overrun can claim a **fresh** row after the successor bumped the epoch, send it, have its +`mark_done` fenced by C1, and on SQL Server leave a row with `owner=NULL`, no lease, and +`updated_at > promoted_at` — invisible to any promotion-scoped recovery. Fencing every claim path is what +makes the design's central argument true: *after the successor's bump an ex-leader can claim nothing, so +every row it still holds was already re-pended by promotion recovery.* + +**C6 — Demotion gets its own bounded teardown, distinct from clean shutdown.** `TeardownReason{SHUTDOWN, +DEMOTE}` as a parameter on the same `_teardown_unsafe` body — never a forked function. Under SHUTDOWN the +path is statement-for-statement today's. Under DEMOTE: bounded, **concurrent** source stop; then a +cooperative dispatcher `quiesce()` before any hard cancel; edge-triggered from the fence rather than +waiting on the graph poll. + +**The constraint stated in the brief does not exist.** `grep -c "D3" docs/adr/0066-*.md` → **0**. "ADR +0066 D3" appears only as a code comment (`wiring_runner.py:2499`). There is no ratified decision to +amend: this ADR **corrects a comment**, it does not supersede ADR 0066. + +**Single-node SQLite is byte-identical, structurally.** `MessageStore.set_leader_epoch` is a hard +`return None`; the guard string is only emitted in the two server dialects; `build_coordinator` returns +the NullCoordinator whose `current_epoch()` is `None`; and `[cluster].enabled` rejects SQLite at config +load, so `_stop_graph` never runs and `reason` is always SHUTDOWN. + +--- + +## Why this and not the alternatives + +**An `owner =` predicate.** Dead on SQL Server, whose claims write `owner=NULL` — always-false (fatal) or +always-true (useless). And `_owner` is per-store-**instance** (`host:pid:uuid4()[:8]`), not per-term, so +it cannot separate a term-N straggler from a term-N+2 worker in the same process. + +**Bare `status='inflight'` as the fence.** The successor re-pends then re-claims, so the predicate is +true again. The protected interval is the PENDING gap — milliseconds. + +**A per-claim token.** The precise mechanism, and the only thing that closes the re-promotion residual +below. Rejected **for this ADR only**: it changes the `Store` protocol signatures of +`mark_done`/`mark_failed`/`dead_letter_now` and every caller, plus a migration and a backfill question for +rows already INFLIGHT at upgrade. File it; do not fold it in. + +**Fencing writes that ADMIT a message** (ingress commit, stage handoffs). Rejected outright. Fencing an +ingress commit converts a permitted duplicate into a **lost** message and breaks count-and-log. A +demoting node that ACKs and persists during teardown is behaving *correctly*. + +**Wiring the SQL Server sweep through `LeaderMaintenanceRunner`.** Rejected — it would silently break SQL +Server. Satisfying the `hasattr` gate makes `_leader_maintenance` non-None, the promotion path's `if` +wins, the unconditional `reset_stale_inflight` becomes **dead code**, and `recover_on_promotion` calls a +method that does not exist on SQL Server. The sweep must be a **distinct capability**, additive to the +on-promotion reset. + +**A lease-anchored absolute teardown deadline.** Rejected as a *correctness* anchor: it makes the +monotonic clock load-bearing on the one platform the code already warns about (monotonic measures elapsed +**awake** time on Windows while the DB clock never suspends), and with `command_timeout` equal to +`leader_lease_ttl_seconds` a stalled pool drives the margin non-positive, degrading the "deadline" into an +unconditional hard cancel during precisely a DB-caused failover. A deadline that fires on every demotion +is not a deadline. + +**Hard-cancel-first as the default demotion ordering.** Rejected as default, retained as timeout +fallback. `_stop.set()` already halts new claim rounds and the L1 bail halts egress the instant the fence +flips, so cancelling first buys little while converting up to 256 in-flight lane episodes into INFLIGHT +residue on **every** failover — the exact row state SQL Server cannot recover. + +**Wrapping `stop()` / `_teardown_unsafe` in `wait_for` from outside.** Rejected, and this is the sharpest +implementation trap found. `self._running = False` is the **last** statement of `_teardown_unsafe` +(`wiring_runner.py:2610`), and `_reconcile_graph`'s bring-up branch is `is_leader() and not running`. A +cancelled teardown leaves `_running = True` and the node can **never re-promote, silently, with no +exception**. Any bound goes *inside*, guarding only the source phase. + +--- + +## Increments + +Each is independently shippable and ships with the test that would fail before it. + +**Inc 0 — make the margin real.** Clamp the lease renew's own statement timeout well below +`(ttl − fence)` instead of inheriting `command_timeout`; capture `t_issue` *before* the renew and stamp +the fence baseline from it rather than after the round trip; config-load warning when +`command_timeout >= (ttl − fence)` — noting it fires on **stock defaults today** (30 vs 30), so ship it +with a defaults change or rely on the clamp alone. +*Test:* slow-renew fixture asserting the detection margin stays positive. + +**Inc 1 — Postgres: fence every claim path + every terminal resolve.** `_EPOCH_GUARD_CLAIM` onto +`claim_ready`; `_EPOCH_GUARD_RESOLVE` onto the four resolves, the batch forms, and the RESPONSE-stage +re-ingress dead-letters. Drop `set_leader_epoch(None)` from `_stop_graph` (C4). Add an **additional** +own-owner promotion-recovery statement — do **not** widen `owner IS DISTINCT FROM`, which would re-open +engine-shard theft (ADR 0073). No DDL: `leader_lease.leader_epoch` already exists and back-fills +additively. +*Tests:* GAP 1 below; a **structural** test enumerating every `UPDATE queue SET status` site and asserting +each is guarded or in a reviewed allowlist. + +**Inc 2 — SQL Server: periodic in-flight recovery. Blocking for Inc 3, not for Inc 1.** A leader-gated, +age-based sweep (`status='inflight' AND updated_at < @cutoff`) reached through a **new** capability, not +by satisfying the `hasattr` gate; restructure the promotion path so the unconditional +`reset_stale_inflight` still runs. Its own named cutoff setting, sized **above the longest legitimate +claim-to-terminal hold**, not merely above skew. +*Independently valuable: it closes a strand that exists today with no HA scenario involved.* + +**Inc 3 — SQL Server: the same fences.** `claim_ready` and the terminal resolves. No stored-procedure +redeploy — every disposition is ad-hoc SQL. **Gate:** pin empirically, on the live CI leg, whether a +coroutine cancelled mid-`execute` leaves an aioodbc transaction committed or rolled back +(`except Exception: await conn.rollback()` does **not** catch `CancelledError`). If it commits, say so +rather than claiming a proof. + +**Inc 4 — `TeardownReason` + bounded, concurrent source stop (DEMOTE only).** The enum lands **here**: +`_teardown_unsafe` is the single shutdown path, so bounding it unguarded would change single-node SQLite +shutdown, which the parity constraint forbids. Snapshot `list(self._sources.values())` (the live-dict +iteration across awaits is a latent `RuntimeError`), gather under a semaphore, wrap each `source.stop()` +in `wait_for` **at the call site** — not by editing transport constants, which would make `transports/` +know about clustering and violate the one-way dependency rule (§4). +*Tests:* N parked sources → wall clock is max(), not sum(); a re-promotion after an abandoned stop cannot +double-bind; SHUTDOWN remains byte-identical. + +**Inc 5 — DEMOTE ordering + cooperative quiesce + edge trigger.** Under DEMOTE only, move the dispatcher +block above the source loop and split `d.stop()` into a cooperative `quiesce()` (no `task.cancel()`, so +serializers reach a terminal transition and leave zero rows INFLIGHT) with a hard-cancel fallback. Add a +sync, never-raise `on_demote` hook fired from `_check_fence` — safe because it is pure in-memory, so +`.cancel()`/`Event.set()` preserve its no-DB-I/O property. +*Tests:* **the `_running` regression test** (after a deadline-expired teardown the node can still +re-promote); both orderings asserted in one test so they cannot drift. + +--- + +## Consequences + +**What this buys.** A durable predicate evaluated at write time against the authoritative lease row, +which holds when the timing argument fails — and the timing argument *has* failed once already (F3). The +fence can reject an ex-leader's `mark_done`; it cannot un-send its HL7. **If only one thing ships, ship +the fence.** + +**Detection is not constraint.** Preconditions on the write are the **detection** half; something has to +make the peer stop, or detection only narrows the window. An ADR that shipped C1 alone would let a +reviewer conclude the problem was solved while a demoted leader is still mid-write. + +### What remains true after this ships + +1. **The fence's coverage is narrower than "demotion".** The epoch bumps only on a **fresh acquire** and + is unchanged on a renew by the same owner. Three cases: (a) demotion *with* takeover → fence armed — + the split-brain case that matters; (b) self-fence with no takeover → fence inert, but there is no + competing writer; (c) promote → demote → **re-promote in the same process** → the store's cached epoch + is per-store-**instance**, so a term-N straggler evaluates `N+2 <= N+2` and **passes**. Case (c) is a + genuine residual that only a per-claim token closes. Anything stronger than this paragraph repeats the + F3 pattern. +2. **The ex-leader is never "quiescent."** Do not use that word. A message mid-handler finishes its commit + and its ACK during the grace, and Inc 4 abandons an overrunning `stop()`. That is *correct* under + count-and-log — the body is durable, the successor drains it, the ACK is honest — and it is a + split-brain-shaped surprise that today's unbounded wait merely hides. +3. **Duplicates go up on the failover path, and the quiesce budget is a guess.** ADR 0066 §11 records + failover duplicate/ordering paths as **unmeasured**; this is the first thing to exercise them. Measure + before adopting the budget. +4. **Recovery re-pends burn retry attempts.** `reclaim_expired_leases` does not decrement; only + `release_claimed`/`reschedule_claimed` do. A flapping leader can dead-letter deliverable traffic + without a single delivery having failed. Pre-existing, amplified here. +5. **Two silent ordering traps.** Restoring `set_leader_epoch(None)` to `_stop_graph` looks like tidying + and disarms the fence; wrapping teardown from outside makes a node permanently un-re-promotable. Both + need pinned tests, not comments. +6. **Rolling upgrade skew.** No DDL, so the upgrade is clean — but the guard protects only when the + **straggler** runs new code, and in the natural sequence the straggler is the *old* leader. The fence + is live only after the last node is upgraded. +7. **DR can invert the guard.** `leader_epoch` restarts at **1** whenever the row is absent. After a cold + restore, a fresh leader holds 1 while a retained stale node caches 5, and `1 <= 5` **passes** — the + guard is not merely disarmed, it favours the stale node. The restore path must force the epoch forward. +8. **A new `[cluster]`-scoped setting is invisible to the posture completeness floor.** + `tests/test_security_posture_defaults.py:203` iterates `SecuritySettings.model_fields` only, so no + `[store]`- or `[cluster]`-scoped deviation can trip it (BACKLOG #333). Inc 0's and Inc 2's settings land + into that gap. +9. **Out of scope, deliberately.** The in-claim cross-owner reclaim statements stay unfenced this pass — + Postgres-only exposure. Self-theft by the owner-blind sweep is a **lease-sizing** bug, not a leadership + bug. + +**Hot path:** the guard is a non-correlated scalar subquery on a PK-keyed one-row table spliced into an +UPDATE that already runs — zero added round trips, against methods that already pay a `SELECT`, a ledger +insert, an event insert and a finalizer call. Expected unmeasurable at 520 ev/s; bench it anyway. + +### Why this needs a mechanism, not a documented rule + +F3 was not an isolated slip. On the day this ADR was written, several sessions working unrelated +subsystems each hit the same reasoning failure — a control whose justification was asserted rather than +enforced. **That general class, its taxonomy and its instances are ADR 0158's subject, not this one's.** +This section keeps only what bears on the decision above. + +Three findings from it are load-bearing here: + +- **The discipline was already written down and did not bind.** CLAUDE.md §11 already forbids a + compensating control resting on a false premise, and the project already had standing guidance to make + a gate fail on purpose before trusting it. F3 happened anyway — and the commit that corrected F3 + enumerated the affected sites and **missed one**, which is the same defect one level up. A rule that + has already failed in this exact file is not a remedy for this exact file. +- **Attention does not enforce it, including expert attention aimed directly at it.** One session built a + tool specifically to catch this class, wrote the discipline into its own docstrings, and shipped two + instances of it inside that tool; both were caught by a mechanism, neither by review. +- **Detection is a stopgap, demonstrated.** A PR fixing a CI-capacity failure was itself stalled by a + merge-queue failure *while two watchers ran specifically to catch that*. The watchers fired correctly. + The stall happened anyway. + +**Applied to this ADR:** C1 (a precondition on the write) is *detection* — it establishes that a write is +illegitimate at the moment it is attempted. C6 (a bounded, enforced demotion stop) is *constraint* — it is +what actually makes the peer stop. Shipping C1 alone narrows the window and leaves a reviewer entitled to +conclude the problem is solved while a demoted leader is still mid-write. That is why both are in the +Decision, and it is the one thing this ADR should not be talked out of. + +**The specific gap that argues for C6:** "the ex-leader has stopped" is a state with **no clearing +evidence**. Nothing anywhere observes it. The fence *fires* on an observable basis — renew timeout +elapsed — and then reports nothing about whether the work it was fencing actually ceased. A control needs +an observable basis for firing *and* for clearing; today this one has only the first. + +*See ADR 0158 for the general class, its instances across subsystems, and the proposed lint.* + +--- + +## Test gaps this closes + +**GAP 1 — the post-send fenced write.** The interleaving that decides adoption: the ex-leader's `send()` +returns AA, then its `mark_done` is fenced.

Three passes — **negative** (every gated HTTP row sent with no credential and with an invalid bearer; anything but 401 is a finding), **authorized reach** (how many gated `GET` rows a *privileged* token got past authentication and authorization on — the positive number that stops a wall of 401s reading as *all endpoints protected*), and **viewer BFLA** (anything but a refusal, **including 404**, is a finding, because a 404 on a matched path template means the caller got past authorization into resource lookup).

The sharp write is `dead_letter_now`: a demoted node assigning a **terminal** disposition and finalizing the message, breaching the store finalizer's single authority — and a DEAD row is never re-claimed, so H2 skip-and-complete cannot heal it. **F2:** demotion budgets **detection only, never the stop** — `_check_fence` flips a boolean and cancels no listener, worker or in-flight send; `engine.py`'s graph-poll interval is the *only* arithmetic consumer of `(ttl − fence)` in the package and it sizes a poll. Measured budget on stock defaults is **≈8.0 s** (fence 20 + a 1.0 s fence tick + a 1.0 s poll against a 30 s DB-clock expiry) *minus* the renew round trip, which is bounded only by `[store].command_timeout = 30` — **exactly equal** to `leader_lease_ttl_seconds`, so the margin can reach zero and `_fence_ordering` (ordering-only) never notices. Against that, teardown stops inbounds **sequentially** at up to 10.0 s per socket listener (5.0 client grace + 5.0 `wait_closed`, off a module constant unrelated to lease timing) and **unbounded** for file/DB/DICOM inbounds, at a 1,500-connection target. **Decision (6 clauses):** guard writes that make a row **TERMINAL**, never one that returns it to PENDING (fencing the L1 hand-over would convert a permitted duplicate into a forbidden **strand**); two predicates of **opposite polarity** (claim fail-closed, resolve fail-**open**, because a rejected resolve leaves the row INFLIGHT); no `status` conjunct; a demoted node **retains** its stale epoch (`None` means *no fence*, so clearing it disarms the guard); fence every claim path incl. `claim_ready`; and a `TeardownReason{SHUTDOWN,DEMOTE}` bounded, concurrent, edge-triggered demotion stop. Rejected: an `owner=` predicate (dead on SQL Server, which claims `owner=NULL`), a per-claim token (correct, but changes the `Store` protocol — filed, not folded in), fencing writes that ADMIT a message (converts a duplicate into a **loss**), a lease-anchored absolute deadline (makes the monotonic clock load-bearing on Windows, and degrades to an unconditional cancel at the 30/30 collision), and wrapping teardown in `wait_for` **from outside** — `self._running = False` is the last statement of `_teardown_unsafe`, so a cancelled teardown leaves the node **permanently un-re-promotable, silently**. Also records the sequencing asymmetry: Postgres bounds a stranded INFLIGHT row at ~90 s via its periodic sweep, while **SQL Server has no periodic in-flight recovery at all** (`reclaim_expired_leases` is Postgres-only; the runner's `hasattr` gate is the sole exclusion), so the same row is an **unbounded strand today**, with no HA scenario involved.

The claim had already spent an attempt (attempts=attempts+1), mark_failed re-read that post-increment value, and under a finite RetryPolicy.max_attempts it took the DEAD branch: a terminal dead-letter written on a row that was NEVER SENT. The new leader never sees a DEAD row, so the message is neither delivered nor deliverable -- recoverable only by an operator replay, and on a PHI instance only until [retention].dead_letter_days purges the body. At-least-once permits duplication and forbids stranding; this stranded. The comment directly above the branch asserted the opposite of what the code did: "We do NOT drop the row -- re-queue it via the existing retry (mark_failed -> PENDING with backoff)". True only while max_attempts is None. Release the claim instead: attempts-- , next_attempt_at UNCHANGED, no last_error, guarded status='inflight' so it is idempotent. The correct primitive already existed 50 lines below, used by the credential-fault path. Return STOPPED, not PROCESSED. _to_lane_result maps (PROCESSED, None) to RESOLVED, which advances to the next item -- and since a release applies no backoff the row is immediately due again, so the lane would hot-spin for the whole teardown window, which is not bounded against the fence-to-expiry margin (ADR 0157 F2). A STOPPED lane cannot outlive its term: _teardown_unsafe clears the dispatchers and workers, and start() rebuilds them on promotion. The batch twin matters more, not less: mark_batch_failed decides ONE disposition from the head's attempts and applies it to all N members. TESTS -- and the first version of them was vacuous, which is worth recording. Asserting the row is PENDING with attempts=0 proves nothing: a seeded row is already in that state, so the assertion passed against the pre-fix code. Both tests now wait on a POSITIVE SIGNAL (a spy on release_claimed) before asserting outcome. Verified by mutation: reverting the body to mark_failed makes both tests FAIL, and restoring it makes both PASS. A green test is evidence only after it has been made to fail on purpose. Single-node is unaffected: NullCoordinator.is_leader() is always True, so the branch never fires and the delivery path is byte-identical. ruff + mypy clean; 125 passed across the dispatcher, pooled-rider, wiring and cluster suites (the Postgres/SQL Server legs skip locally -- CI covers them). --- messagefoundry/pipeline/wiring_runner.py | 47 +++++++--- tests/test_wiring_engine.py | 114 +++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 130 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/messagefoundry/pipeline/wiring_runner.py b/messagefoundry/pipeline/wiring_runner.py index 46515da5..41e3573f 100644 --- a/messagefoundry/pipeline/wiring_runner.py +++ b/messagefoundry/pipeline/wiring_runner.py @@ -4197,21 +4197,38 @@ async def _process_delivery_item( # ONLY, but leadership can be lost (a self-fence) BETWEEN claiming this row and the # send below.

Corrected here, in the design record, before any code was written against them. C3 said a fenced terminal write should roll back and return, leaving the row INFLIGHT for recovery to collect. That is a STRAND. On Postgres it costs ~90s of latency via reclaim_expired_leases. On SQL Server there is NO periodic in-flight recovery at all -- reclaim_expired_leases has zero occurrences in sqlserver.py and the hasattr gate in engine.py is the sole exclusion -- so the row waits for the next promotion. The ADR's own fence would have produced exactly the outcome the ADR exists to prevent. Corrected: a fenced write rolls back and then RE-PENDS via an unguarded release_claimed. That is invariant-legal by C1's own rule (a return-to-PENDING write, which C1 forbids fencing) and is status='inflight'-guarded, so it is idempotent. It converts the fence's residue from a possible strand into a certain duplicate -- the only direction permitted. C4 said "delete the set_leader_epoch(None) clear from _stop_graph". Alone, that is unsafe once C5 fences every claim path, and the failure is silent and total. set_leader_epoch has one push site, inside _start_graph, and _reconcile_graph has only two branches. A demote-and-re-acquire during a slow _start_graph leaves the node in `is_leader() and running`, which matches neither branch forever, with the store holding a stale epoch. Today that half-works because claim_ready is unfenced; after C5 it is a live leader that claims nothing, with no exception and no alert. Corrected: delete the clear AND re-stamp current_epoch() on every reconcile pass while leader and running. Safe and idempotent -- _is_leader flips False->True only immediately after the renew refreshed _leader_epoch, with no intervening await. Also names the existing test that encodes the old contract and must be inverted in the same commit. C6 gains three constraints, each the difference between the increment working and being harmful: the concurrent source stop must be one phase-level asyncio.wait, not a semaphore with per-source wait_for (a semaphore bounds the phase at ceil(N/C) x budget -- ~63s at the 1,500-connection target against an ~8s margin, i.e. not a fix); quiesce() must not gate the lane drain on the claimer loops exiting, because the fence fires precisely when the claimer is parked against command_timeout; and _running = False must execute on every path via try/finally, with the finally doing only that. No code yet. This is the design record catching its own errors before they reached the reliability core, which is what the adversarial pass was for. --- ...t-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md | 71 ++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 62 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md b/docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md index 788c4583..49eca5c6 100644 --- a/docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md +++ b/docs/adr/0157-demotion-safety-fence-scope-on-post-claim-writes-and-a-bounded-graph-stop.md @@ -143,10 +143,25 @@ conjunct would reject it and force a genuine re-send — a duplicate manufacture WAN lanes.

RETRACTIONS -- eight, including two clauses of ADR 0157 that I wrote and that were wrong in the strand direction: C3 left a fenced row INFLIGHT, which on SQL Server has no periodic recovery; C4 deleted the epoch clear without a re-stamp, which silently halts a live leader once C5 lands. Also a CI number I amplified as a step figure when it was a job figure, a mis-attributed BACKLOG item, a merge ordering built on a conclusion my own measurements contradicted, and four instrument errors -- three caught before acting, one (a vacuous test) caught only by mutation. TRAPS -- chiefly that the ADR's SQL Server increment is MIS-SPECIFIED. The codebase contradicts itself on whether reload recovers INFLIGHT rows; wiring_runner.py:1800 is right and :4718 is wrong, so the real defect is no recovery at graph re-start, not a missing periodic sweep. An owner-blind age sweep on SQL Server has no owner column to discriminate with and would re-pend live rows.

From 1e10fb35922967e1d2990aa181a5d26e60e70974 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wshallwshall Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 23:38:16 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 5/7] fix(store): fence every Postgres claim path and every terminal resolve (ADR 0157 Inc 1) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The H1 leader-epoch token guarded SOME claims and nothing after them. A demoted ex-leader still inside a send could not CLAIM anything, but could still WRITE — including over a row the live leader had already resolved. This closes that on Postgres. Two guard templates with DELIBERATELY OPPOSITE polarity (_EPOCH_GUARD_CLAIM / _EPOCH_GUARD_RESOLVE): CLAIM is fail-CLOSED. A missing leader_lease row yields NULL, `NULL <= $held` is false, the claim declines. Declining is free — the row stays PENDING and any node may take it. RESOLVE is fail-OPEN, via COALESCE. Rejecting a resolve leaves the row INFLIGHT, so reusing the claim idiom here would mass-strand every in-flight row the moment the lease row went missing. That inversion reads like a copy-paste slip, so it is pinned by a test in both directions. C5 adds the guard to claim_ready (the UNORDERED path, previously unfenced). C1/C3 guard the eight terminal resolves: dead_letter_now, mark_done, mark_batch_done, complete_with_response, ingress_handoff's two DEAD branches, mark_failed, mark_batch_failed, dead_letter_batch. A rejected resolve raises _FencedWrite INSIDE the transaction, so the queue flip, the delivered_keys row, the message_events row and the finalize roll back TOGETHER — never half-applied. Deliberately UNGUARDED, and tested as such: release_claimed / reschedule_claimed and the other re-pend paths. Fencing a write that returns a row to PENDING converts a permitted DUPLICATE into a forbidden STRAND, which the at-least-once invariant rules out outright. D1 — a fenced resolve then RE-PENDS via an unguarded release_claimed in a fresh transaction. The drafted design left the row INFLIGHT for recovery; that is ~90s of latency on Postgres and, on SQL Server (no periodic in-flight recovery at all), an unbounded strand. This makes the fence's own residue a bounded duplicate on both backends. C4 — _stop_graph no longer clears the held epoch on demotion. set_leader_epoch(None) OMITS the guard entirely, so clearing it disarmed the fence at exactly the moment a superseded ex-leader is most likely to still be writing. D2 adds a re-stamp on every leader+running reconcile: without it, a slow bring-up spanning demote -> takeover -> re-acquire leaves a live leader holding a stale epoch that (post-C5) claims NOTHING, silently. D7 adds has_residual_state so a raised teardown converges. NOT a general write fence, and the ADR's cross-backend claim was wrong: on SQL Server only the three FIFO claim paths carry a guard — claim_ready and every terminal resolve stay unfenced there until Inc 3. Retaining the epoch under C4 is still strictly better than clearing it, but it does not make a demoted SQL Server node claim nothing. Corrected in cluster.py's scope docstring. Counter surface is six sites across three files, not two: StatsResponse takes Pydantic's default extra='ignore', so an undeclared kwarg would have been dropped SILENTLY and /stats would never have grown the field. Evidence: - 13 runtime tests against a real Postgres, and the full 147-test Postgres suite still green. - 8 structural tests (NOT env-gated, so they run on every leg) pinning which writes carry which guard, complete with a written reason for every unguarded one. - Mutation-verified in both directions. The FIRST version of the structural gate keyed on whether a method mentioned the guard constant; deleting {epoch_guard} from claim_fifo_heads' SQL — the exact regression it exists to catch — left that mention intact and the gate stayed GREEN. It now keys on the emitted SQL. Mutations confirmed red: guard dropped from claim_fifo_heads / from claim_ready / from mark_done; `<=` -> `<` (4 failures); resolve guard made fail-closed (2); D1 re-pend removed (5). --- messagefoundry/api/app.py | 1 + messagefoundry/api/metrics.py | 11 + messagefoundry/api/models.py | 5 + messagefoundry/pipeline/cluster.py | 29 +- messagefoundry/pipeline/engine.py | 43 +- messagefoundry/pipeline/wiring_runner.py | 18 +- messagefoundry/store/base.py | 31 +- messagefoundry/store/postgres.py | 772 +++++++++++++++-------- messagefoundry/store/sqlserver.py | 4 + messagefoundry/store/store.py | 4 + tests/test_adr0157_fence_scope.py | 340 ++++++++++ tests/test_adr0157_postgres_fence.py | 457 ++++++++++++++ tests/test_cluster_graph_gating.py | 55 +- 13 files changed, 1478 insertions(+), 292 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/test_adr0157_fence_scope.py create mode 100644 tests/test_adr0157_postgres_fence.py diff --git a/messagefoundry/api/app.py b/messagefoundry/api/app.py index 4cba84d7..6a526e45 100644 --- a/messagefoundry/api/app.py +++ b/messagefoundry/api/app.py @@ -4142,6 +4142,7 @@ async def stats( # (or a future one) reports 0 rather than 500ing the stats read. committed_txns=getattr(engine.store, "committed_txns", 0), body_copies=getattr(engine.store, "body_copies", 0), + fenced_writes=getattr(engine.store, "fenced_writes", 0), ) @app.get("/metrics") diff --git a/messagefoundry/api/metrics.py b/messagefoundry/api/metrics.py index de3c3ca0..704d88f7 100644 --- a/messagefoundry/api/metrics.py +++ b/messagefoundry/api/metrics.py @@ -198,6 +198,7 @@ class _Snapshot: pool: PoolStatus | None = None committed_txns: int = 0 body_copies: int = 0 + fenced_writes: int = 0 # ADR 0114 AC-7's degraded gauge.

A fenced ex-leader tore its graph down on an unbounded, sequential path with no deadline at all, so "the node stopped being leader" and "the node stopped writing" were separated by however long the slowest listener took. TeardownReason{SHUTDOWN, DEMOTE} splits the source + dispatcher phases only; every other phase and their order stay shared, and SHUTDOWN executes today's statements verbatim. D6 — the source phase is ONE phase-level asyncio.wait over all tasks, not a per-source wait_for under a semaphore. The semaphore form costs ceil(N/C) x budget: ~63s at the 1,500-connection target against an ~8s margin. asyncio.wait also never cancels its awaitables, so "abandon, don't cancel" is a property of the primitive rather than of an asyncio.shield token a later edit can silently drop. An inbound that overruns is ABANDONED, not cancelled and not awaited. Cancelling mid-stop() can abort the close before the port is released. The abandoned task is generation-scoped and settled, bounded, at the next promotion — inside _reload_lock, so an unbounded join there would wedge re-promotion, the engine shutdown and the whole /connections API. Inc 5 inverts the ADR 0066 D3 order under DEMOTE only: egress is the split-brain-relevant action, so its budget starts immediately rather than after the source phase. StageDispatcher.quiesce() lets each serializer reach its terminal transition and leave ZERO rows INFLIGHT, where the hard cancel leaves them claimed — latency on Postgres, an unbounded strand on SQL Server. stop() is untouched and still runs after, as both the state-clearing path and the hard-cancel fallback. D8 — the drain is NOT gated on the claimer/sweep loops exiting. The fence fires BECAUSE renews failed, i.e. the pool is degraded, i.e. the claimer is parked in the store against command_timeout. A gated design times out before draining a single serializer, on this increment's dominant trigger. D7 — `self._running = False` moves into a finally containing no await. _reconcile_graph's bring-up branch is `is_leader() and not running`, so a teardown that raises or is cancelled from outside would otherwise leave the node un-re-promotable, silently, with no exception. Edge trigger: a sync, never-raise, pure in-memory on_demote hook on both coordinators, fired at BOTH demotion edges. The lease-lost branch is REQUIRED, not belt-and-braces — it sets _is_leader = False itself, so _check_fence short-circuits and the TAKEOVER (the case that matters) would get no edge at all. Not fired on the clean step-down. CORRECTIONS to the drafted design and the ADR, each verified against source rather than assumed: - "EVERY socket source closes in its synchronous prologue" is false. The four asyncio.start_server sources do; DICOM releases its port inside `await to_thread(server.shutdown)`, so an abandoned DICOM stop can hold the port at re-promotion. TimerSource was missing from the inventory entirely (11 source connectors are registered, the spec accounted for 8). - "accept stops at task creation" is false — create_task only SCHEDULES. It stops on the first loop pass, before the wait's timeout can fire. The conclusion survives; the wording would mislead an edit that inserted anything between create_task and the wait. - _PENDING_STOP_SETTLE_SECONDS was 1x the client-shutdown grace, but MLLP/TCP/X12/HTTP each consume that grace TWICE serially inside one stop() — it would have cancelled in precisely the slow-but- healthy case it exists to settle. Now 2x. - The cluster_sqlserver.py compile-time Protocol guard CANNOT backstop a missing hook: it asserts only assignability to ClusterCoordinator, which deliberately does not carry set_on_demote. The ADR cited it as the remedy for a defect it structurally cannot see. The tests are the backstop. - has_residual_state does NOT mirror stop()'s had_state, contrary to the drafted docstring. It drops _running (already False) and adds _dispatchers (cleared early, so a cancel between teardown phases leaves them populated). Both deviations are deliberate; the claim of mirroring was not. Also wires tests/test_adr0157_postgres_fence.py into the postgres-store CI job.

I nearly reported a correct ledger as missing. - - A regex with `**` on the wrong side of a word reported a surviving correction as absent. - - **My first version of the `c20295c0` tests was vacuous** — asserting the row is `PENDING` with - `attempts=0` passes against the pre-fix code, because a seeded row is *already* in that state. - Only mutation testing caught it. Both tests now wait on a spy (positive signal). - -## 6. TRAPS - -- **`reset_stale_inflight` is startup/DR-only.** `RegistryRunner.reload()` is a quiesce-and-swap and - calls no recovery, so a reload leaves cancelled prefixes INFLIGHT until the next process start. - The codebase contradicts itself here: **`wiring_runner.py:1800` is right** ("strands INFLIGHT forever - … startup/DR-only"); **`:4718` is wrong** ("recovered … on the next start/reload"). - ➡️ **Therefore the ADR's SQL Server increment is mis-specified.** It proposes an owner-blind, - age-based periodic sweep.

Its own gate: pin empirically, on the live CI leg, whether a coroutine cancelled mid-`execute` leaves an aioodbc transaction committed or rolled back (`except Exception: await conn.rollback()` does **not** catch `CancelledError`). + +> **A green Postgres run does not license the same edit on `sqlserver.py`.** The two backends' recovery guarantees differ, and that difference is the whole argument for D1. + +**Also deferred (D10):** the own-owner promotion-recovery statement. It must be lease-expiry-bounded to be safe, and every claim stamps `lease_until = now + lease_ttl_seconds`, so it is a no-op exactly when it would be needed. + +## 3. Traps that cost real time + +- **Local `pytest` SILENTLY SKIPS the Postgres and SQL Server legs.** A green laptop run proves nothing about either backend. There is a `mefor-pg-ci` container (postgres:16) on **port 5433** matching CI's fixtures — use it: + ``` + MEFOR_TEST_POSTGRES=1 MEFOR_STORE_BACKEND=postgres MEFOR_STORE_SERVER=localhost \ + MEFOR_STORE_PORT=5433 MEFOR_STORE_DATABASE=messagefoundry MEFOR_STORE_USERNAME=postgres \ + MEFOR_STORE_PASSWORD=mefor MEFOR_STORE_ENCRYPT=false MEFOR_ALLOW_INSECURE_TLS=1 + ``` +- **A new module-gated suite executes NOWHERE until it is named in a workflow.** `tests/test_serverdb_ci_coverage.py` catches this; it caught this branch. Add the file to the `sqlserver-store` / `postgres-store` job **and** to the `serverdb` change-detection alternation in `ci.yml`. +- **`leader_lease` is not in `tests/test_postgres_store.py`'s `_TABLES`**, so a row seeded by one test survives into the next. Any test whose premise is "no lease row" must delete it explicitly — `test_epoch_guard_disabled_when_none_is_byte_identical`'s own comment is a false premise for exactly this reason. +- **`mypy` reports 21 phantom errors** unless the venv has the full extras: `pip install --constraint constraints.lock -e ".[dev,harness,postgres,sqlserver,fhir,dicom,x12,xml,webauthn,sftp,vault,otel]"`. +- **Pre-commit needs `ruff` on PATH** in the worktree. Activate `.venv` or prepend it. **Never `--no-verify`.** +- **A full local suite with the Postgres env set produces failures that isolation does not** — the `[postgres]`-parametrized suites share one database and contaminate each other. Before attributing any failure, re-run the same set the same way with your diff reverted. Measuring a different quantity is not a measurement. + +## 4. The methodological point worth keeping + +Two gates written for this work were **blind to the exact class they existed to catch**, and only a deliberate mutation found it: + +- The structural fence gate keyed on whether a method *mentioned* `_EPOCH_GUARD_CLAIM`. Deleting `{epoch_guard}` from `claim_fifo_heads`' SQL — the precise regression — left the mention intact and the gate stayed **green**. It now keys on the emitted SQL. +- An earlier session's first version of the `c20295c0` tests asserted a row was `PENDING` with `attempts=0`, which passes against the *pre-fix* code because a seeded row is already in that state. + +Both were caught by attacking the control, not by reading it. Build the gate, then try to slip the defect past it.
