fix(engine): park task visibly when bounded auto-merge retry request is rejected

[timoteo7]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Reliability Improvements
  • Improved handling of terminal task failures when updates cannot be saved immediately.
  • Added automatic retries with progressively longer delays and continued recovery attempts.
  • Added restart recovery so unresolved terminal tasks can be safely completed without re-executing them.
  • Prevents invalid updates for deleted, paused, already completed, or actively running tasks.
  • Failed automatic merge retries now clearly mark tasks as failed with an explanation.
  • Improved resilience when recording failure details or usage information is unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The graph-failure flow now retries terminal writes with exponential backoff. Failed writes create deferred parking intents and use run-fenced atomic retries when possible. Restart recovery applies unresolved intents without re-executing eligible tasks. Merge-retry failures now park tasks with explicit terminal errors.

Changes

Terminal failure handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Terminal failure persistence retries packages/engine/src/executor/route-graph-merge-failure-to-retry.ts, packages/engine/src/executor/deps-bags.ts	Terminal parking and boundary preparation use bounded exponential retries. Rejected merge requests and boundary-preparation failures receive explicit failed statuses. Token and rejection logging remain best-effort.
Deferred terminal parking packages/engine/src/executor/handle-graph-failure.ts, packages/engine/src/executor/task-executor-state.ts, packages/engine/src/executor/deps-bags.ts	Exhausted writes create deferred terminal-park intents. Deferred atomic writes retry without a round cap, track in-flight callbacks, and skip tasks with changed runs or live execution surfaces.
Restart recovery packages/engine/src/executor/resume-orphaned.ts, packages/engine/src/executor/deps-bags.ts	resumeOrphaned() reads persisted intents, atomically parks eligible tasks, removes handled intents, and skips re-execution.
Reliability validation packages/engine/src/__tests__/executor-task-done-blocked.test.ts, packages/engine/src/__tests__/reliability-interactions/merge-retry-rejection-parks-task.test.ts	Tests cover uncapped retries, rejection handling, run fencing, active execution checks, and restart recovery.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 91b52

This change adds deferred terminal failure recovery across retries and restarts, but terminal updates are not consistently fenced to the run that initiated the failure. A delayed failure can mark newer or requeued work failed and prevent it from continuing, so the PR is not safe to merge until terminal updates and restart recovery enforce run ownership atomically.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds durable handling for graph-terminal persistence failures and visibly parks rejected bounded auto-merge retries.

• Retries failed terminal-state writes and records restart-recovery intent on disk.
• Applies deferred terminal outcomes during orphan recovery instead of blindly re-executing work.
• Adds focused merge-retry, persistence-outage, fencing, and restart-recovery coverage.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR does not yet appear safe to merge because restart recovery can still falsely park tasks after transient filesystem errors and can apply an earlier run’s terminal intent to newly requeued work.

The reader still maps every non-ENOENT read failure to corruption, while persisted intents contain only a timestamp and message; consequently, transient storage errors can suppress valid recovery and a recent stale-run intent can terminalize a newer requeue.

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability — these two tests sleep on real timers for about 63s each.

Both drive the full 7-attempt park backoff without fake timers, so each test waits for the real delays. The other deferred-park tests in this file already use vi.useFakeTimers() plus advanceTimersByTimeAsync. Use the same seam here and drop the 180s timeouts.

397-399: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability — the named-frame marker works only while the fence read stays synchronous.

new Error().stack?.includes("deferredTerminalParkAttempt") depends on the named async IIFE frame being on the stack when getRunContextFor runs. In handle-graph-failure.ts the fence read is the first statement of that function, so the frame is present today. If any await is inserted before the fence read, the frame leaves the stack and inDeferredCallback becomes false. The tests then still pass while exercising the wrong branch.

This is better than the previous line-number marker. Consider asserting the marker itself once, so a future edit fails loudly:

♻️ Suggested guard

+        let sawDeferredFrame = false;
         vi.spyOn(executor as any, "getRunContextFor").mockImplementation(() => {
           const inDeferredCallback = new Error().stack?.includes(
             "deferredTerminalParkAttempt",
           ) === true;
+          sawDeferredFrame ||= inDeferredCallback;
           return inDeferredCallback ? undefined : { runId: "captured-run-A", agentId: "executor" };
         });

Then assert sawDeferredFrame is true before checking the atomic-call count.

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability 2026-08-29-17:18: Add regression coverage for deferred terminal parking.

This bug fix has no regression test in the cohort. Add narrow-seam tests that assert the invariant across all known outcomes: bounded persistence exhaustion, matching-run parking, changed-run rejection, cleared-context live-surface rejection, and retry after an atomic-write rejection. Use a controlled TaskStore seam and fake timers. Do not add real polling or network calls.

As per coding guidelines, “the regression test must assert the general invariant across ALL known surfaces — not only the single reported reproduction.”

204-204: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability — the backoff-window comments overstate the real wait.

BIT_BACKOFF_MS has seven entries, but the loop skips the sleep on the final attempt, so the total wait is 1+2+4+8+16+32 = 63s. The 64000 entry is never used. parkTaskFailed already logs "~63s". Align these two comments with that number so the next reader does not size a timeout against a window that never occurs.

589-589: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability — Two test cases are duplicated, one pair with an identical title.

Line 589 declares "parks the task failed with the reason ($label)", which is the same title used at Line 107, with the same body and the needs-replan and paused surfaces repeated. Two same-titled cases in one describe block make failure output ambiguous.

Line 670 repeats the Promise.reject(undefined) case already covered at Line 135.

Merge the new surface merge-boundary-blocked-missing-instance-count-2 into REJECTION_SURFACES at Line 24, then delete the duplicate blocks at Lines 585-605 and 670-717.

204-204: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability — Convert the two exhaustion tests to fake timers.

Both tests drive the full 7-attempt backoff with real timers, so each one waits about 127 seconds. Together they add more than four minutes of wall-clock time to every run of this suite. The 180s timeouts confirm the cost is intentional.

This file already shows the cheaper pattern at Lines 309 and 338: vi.useFakeTimers() plus vi.advanceTimersByTimeAsync(200_000). Applying it here keeps the same assertions and removes the wall-clock cost.

♻️ Proposed change for the direct route test

   it(
     "returns false (not true, not throw) when every park write exhausts the bounded backoff",
     async () => {
+      vi.useFakeTimers();
+      try {
       const store = createMockStore();
       ...
-      const result = await routeGraphMergeFailureToRetry(
+      const pending = routeGraphMergeFailureToRetry(
         ...
       );
+      await vi.advanceTimersByTimeAsync(200_000);
+      const result = await pending;
       expect(result).toBe(false);
+      } finally {
+        vi.useRealTimers();
+      }
     },
-    180_000, // BIT_BACKOFF_MS spans ~127s (1+2+4+8+16+32+64)
+    30_000,
   );

1414-1417: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability — Consider capping the log interval, not the chain.

The retry chain is intentionally uncapped, and the attempt % 10 === 0 guard keeps the log volume low. One detail is worth a second look: each rejected round re-arms a new 120s timer through scheduleDeferredTerminalPark(attempt + 1), so a task whose store never recovers keeps one live timer and one retained closure for the process lifetime. The timer is unref'd, so it does not hold the event loop open. The practical cost is bounded per task.

If several graph failures for the same task exhaust persistence, each exhaustion starts an independent chain over the same deferredParkIntentPath. One chain can rm the intent that another chain still owns. The terminal message is identical and the reducer declines a non-null status, so the outcome stays correct. A single-chain guard keyed on task.id would make the ownership explicit.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

FNXC:MergeRetryReliability — A stale intent can outlive the failure it describes.

The reader only sees intents for tasks in inProgress, which requires a WIP column and a non-paused, non-deleted row (Lines 48-50). If the engine exits during the store outage and an operator then requeues the task out of the WIP lane, no code path removes the intent file. The writer's deferred chain is gone with the process. When that task later returns to the WIP lane and the engine restarts, this branch applies the old intent and parks the task failed with the previous run's graph-failure message.

The window is narrow and an operator retry clears the park, so the impact is small. A timestamp in the intent payload would bound it: handleGraphFailure writes writtenAt, and this reader ignores and removes an intent older than a chosen horizon.

🛠️ Proposed change

Writer side, packages/engine/src/executor/handle-graph-failure.ts Line 1355:

-          const intentWrite = writeFile(deferredParkIntentPath, JSON.stringify({ message }), "utf-8")
+          const intentWrite = writeFile(deferredParkIntentPath, JSON.stringify({ message, writtenAt: new Date().toISOString() }), "utf-8")

Reader side:

-        const parsed = JSON.parse(raw) as { message?: unknown };
-        if (typeof parsed.message === "string") deferredMessage = parsed.message;
+        const parsed = JSON.parse(raw) as { message?: unknown; writtenAt?: unknown };
+        const writtenAtMs = typeof parsed.writtenAt === "string" ? Date.parse(parsed.writtenAt) : Number.NaN;
+        const expired = Number.isFinite(writtenAtMs)
+          && Date.now() - writtenAtMs > DEFERRED_PARK_INTENT_MAX_AGE_MS;
+        if (expired) {
+          await rm(intentPath, { force: true }).catch(() => undefined);
+        } else if (typeof parsed.message === "string") {
+          deferredMessage = parsed.message;

Read failures become corruption

If restart recovery encounters a transient non-ENOENT filesystem error such as EACCES, EIO, or EMFILE, this catch classifies it as a corrupted intent even though the file contents were never read. The subsequent atomic update marks the orphaned task failed with a false corruption message and skips normal orphan recovery.

**Read failures become corruption**

If restart recovery encounters a transient non-`ENOENT` filesystem error such as `EACCES`, `EIO`, or `EMFILE`, this catch classifies it as a corrupted intent even though the file contents were never read. The subsequent atomic update marks the orphaned task failed with a false corruption message and skips normal orphan recovery.

Fresh intent parks requeued work

When a task is requeued within one hour of an earlier terminal failure and the engine restarts, this age-only check accepts the old intent and the atomic reducer marks the newly requeued task failed with the previous run's error. The persisted intent needs execution or requeue identity so recovery cannot apply an earlier run's outcome to newer work.
