From 452ae326183a2a157e343223d558e99113838cda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: w-git-delivery-cancellation Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 05:49:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/63] delivery push: bound the lifetime of the WORK, not the patience of its caller F3: the delivery turn was tied to the future that started the push. A revoked push still occupied the turn while it waited for a blocking slot; queued work, the local config rewrite, pack generation and buffering honoured no cancellation and no deadline; and the async supervisor holding the guard could be cancelled while its blocking thread survived. - new delivery_turn module: the turn carries the exclusion token and an ABSOLUTE deadline. begin/end race on one atomic, so the turn is handed back only when the work actually stopped, or when it provably never started. Never because the caller timed out. - the turn is moved onto the blocking thread that does the operation and dropped there, so a dead supervisor or a shut-down runtime cannot free it early. - deadline/cancellation checks at every phase the turn is held across: queue admission, config rewrite, pack negotiation, every buffered pack chunk, before the signer queue is joined, and before each wire request. - DELIVERY_DRAIN_BOUND = 270s (DELIVERY_PUSH_TIMEOUT 150s + one 120s HTTP leg), const-asserted, documented phase by phase. Preserved unchanged: post-mint/pre-submission authority check, absolute deadline check, exact OID/ref binding, fresh per-leg authentication, no hidden replay, redirects denied, relay policy and TTL. --- crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs | 427 ++++++++++++++++++ crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs | 88 +++- crates/maxplayer-core/src/lib.rs | 1 + crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 80 +++- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_node/run.rs | 399 ++++++++++++---- .../tests/delivery_push_contention.rs | 35 +- .../tests/h2_no_hidden_replay.rs | 2 + .../tests/relay_push_fresh_auth.rs | 16 +- 8 files changed, 944 insertions(+), 104 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs new file mode 100644 index 00000000..8bee35bf --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs @@ -0,0 +1,427 @@ +//! One delivery's TURN at the seat's single delivery remote — owned by the WORK, not by the caller. +//! +//! # The bug this module exists to close +//! +//! A delivery push is serialized behind one lock because concurrent `git-receive-pack` to one repo +//! is what the relay 409s. The dangerous simplification is to tie that lock to the future that +//! started the push: the future is cancelled, or its bound elapses, the guard drops, and the next +//! delivery opens a second `git-receive-pack` while the previous upload is still on the wire. **A +//! caller that gave up is not a job that stopped.** So the turn is released on exactly two events, +//! and never on a third: +//! +//! 1. the work ACTUALLY stopped (returned, refused, panicked) — released on whichever thread got +//! there, including a blocking thread that outlived the runtime task that spawned it; or +//! 2. the work is known to have NEVER STARTED — it was revoked while still queued for a blocking +//! slot, so nothing was neutralized, no pack was built and nothing reached the wire. +//! +//!

Releasing on the supervisor alone was the original bug: the caller stops waiting and the next delivery opens a receive-pack against the same remote while the abandoned push is still on the wire. Releasing on the work alone is its mirror, and the first shape of this fix had it: the blocking operation returned and the turn was gone while the delivery arm that supervises it was still inside the section the turn exists to exclude. `the_delivery_that_waited_for_the_lock_signs_after_the_wait` caught it - delivery 2 entered before delivery 1 left. So ownership is handed back only when the work has actually stopped (or provably never started) AND the supervising side is done. Each side publishes its half with SeqCst and asks; whichever is second releases. Also: the phase gate the transport asks at every boundary now asks the delivery's own authority first and the turn's lifetime second, composed once in seller_git instead of two gates plumbed everywhere - so a push refused before it mints is refused by the same name, and recorded in the same place, as one refused after the mint. --- crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs | 71 ++++++++++++++++--- crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs | 19 +++-- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 18 ++++- .../tests/delivery_push_contention.rs | 11 ++- 4 files changed, 104 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs index 8bee35bf..a8758e5f 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs @@ -83,6 +83,9 @@ pub enum TurnRelease { struct Turn { state: AtomicU8, cancelled: AtomicBool, + /// The supervising side has finished with the turn: it returned, timed out, was cancelled at an + /// await, or was dropped.

Nothing reaches the relay and the signer queue is never joined again. This one found a real gap - asking the lifetime only BEFORE the mint answers a question the queue wait makes stale, so send() now asks again after the mint, next to the authority re-check. - revoked before dispatch: no blocking slot ever came free, so the workdir's push config is byte-identical afterwards, no token is minted, nothing dials. - a caller timeout across a LIVE upload: a real GET and a real POST, the POST held open at the relay while the arm that started it times out and returns. A second real delivery is launched into that window, proved PENDING on acquisition (try_lock refused, no Enter in the journal, no third request), and completes for real only after the abandoned upload stops. Peak concurrency at the remote stays 1. Fixture: hold_request_number, the existing appointment applied to a chosen leg rather than the first one - a held POST is the only instant where the bytes are genuinely unrecallable. --- crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs | 12 + .../tests/delivery_push_contention.rs | 378 +++++++++++++++++- .../tests/git_http_fixture/mod.rs | 22 +- 3 files changed, 407 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs index 568d482f..bc47382d 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs @@ -1005,6 +1005,18 @@ impl HttpStream { )) })?; } + // The same question about the work itself.

Traversal and insert are now interruptible: libgit2 checks what the pack progress callback returns on that path (pack-objects.c:256-270), at half-millisecond granularity, so the delivery's work gate is asked there too. git2 0.19 discards a Rust closure's answer in that trampoline and hard-codes 0, so the refusal travels as a typed panic raised inside git2's own catch (no unwind crosses a C frame) and is converted straight back into a TransportError at the push call. The delta search is NOT interruptible: pack-objects.c:979 and :1356 throw the callback's answer away, and there is no other hook in that loop. That span is now named in the bound's own documentation with its evidence, measured from its true start, and reported with the number when it outlasts its budget -- never asserted away. A hard stop there needs an executor that can be killed, which is an architectural change and is not smuggled in behind a constant. Proof enters the dangerous state on purpose: a 16MB delivery whose local pack phase is HELD past its work deadline, with the remote provably at one request (advertisement sent, nothing uploaded) at the moment it is held. The seat stays taken while it is held, the boundary ends it, nothing is ever uploaded, and the next delivery gets the seat only after the held thread actually returns. --- crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs | 167 ++++++++- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_node/run.rs | 42 ++- .../tests/delivery_push_contention.rs | 351 +++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 553 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs index bc47382d..a9610f46 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/git_transport.rs @@ -56,8 +56,8 @@ use std::time::Duration; use git2::transport::{Service, SmartSubtransport, SmartSubtransportStream, Transport}; use git2::{ - AutotagOption, ConfigLevel, Direction, FetchOptions, Oid, PushOptions, Remote, RemoteCallbacks, - Repository, + AutotagOption, ConfigLevel, Direction, FetchOptions, Oid, PackBuilderStage, PushOptions, Remote, + RemoteCallbacks, Repository, }; use crate::delivery_transport::{assert_allowed_repo_locator, TransportRefuse}; @@ -574,6 +574,66 @@ pub fn push_branch_with_minter( push_gated_object(&repo, remote_url, branch, gated_oid, mint, authority, lifetime) } +/// The typed refusal raised inside libgit2's pack-progress hook, and converted back into a +/// [`TransportError::Transport`] the instant `remote.push` returns.

The one thing on a POSIX host that ends work its author refuses to end is the kernel. This adds the executor that uses it: the blocking local phases run in a child process, the deadline is enforced by SIGKILL to that child's process GROUP, and the turn is released only after the kernel has confirmed the exit and cleanup has run. A kill that is merely issued releases nothing. Custody is unchanged, which is what makes the child safe. The push path already took a MINTER rather than a token, so the child gets no key and no token up front: it asks over the pipe, the parent runs the same closure -- same destination binding, same authority check, same deadline -- and returns one scoped token whose life is its round trip. The parent's deadline therefore binds the child before any kill lands: past it, no header, so no authenticated leg can even begin. The kill ends the work; the refusal ends the authority. Feasibility first, and settled by gates rather than by assertion. The shipped binary hosts the child entrypoint (F1) in the internal-subcommand namespace it already reserves. The pipe protocol carries a request and returns an outcome over real pipes to that real binary (F2), with nothing on argv and an environment cleared to a named allowlist -- proven from inside the child, which reports what it actually received. A child that ignores SIGTERM and never yields is ended anyway and its exit confirmed (F3), the kill reaches a descendant that would otherwise outlive the delivery, and dropping the handle leaves nothing behind. The bound is stated as the conditional thing it is: 270s + a 5s reap bound, under SIGKILL, process-group and parent-scheduled assumptions that are written down with the cases that break them -- uninterruptible kernel sleep above all. Where they break it fails CLOSED: an unreapable child keeps the seat rather than handing it on, because an unreapable child is not evidence that it stopped. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 770 ++++++++++++++++++ crates/maxplayer-core/src/lib.rs | 2 + .../tests/delivery_executor_platform.rs | 154 ++++ crates/maxplayer/src/cli.rs | 11 + .../tests/delivery_push_child_binary.rs | 167 ++++ 5 files changed, 1104 insertions(+) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_executor_platform.rs create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_child_binary.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs new file mode 100644 index 00000000..fd55275a --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -0,0 +1,770 @@ +//!

This is a **conditional** bound and is documented as one. What holds it up: +//! +//! - **`SIGKILL` cannot be caught, blocked or ignored** (POSIX, and all three platforms this product +//! ships for are POSIX — see [`SHIPPED_PLATFORMS`]). No amount of libgit2 or C code in the child +//! can decline it. This is the property in-process cancellation could not have at any price. +//! - **The kill goes to the process GROUP** (`kill(-pgid)`), and the child is made a group leader at +//! spawn, so a descendant cannot outlive the delivery even though libgit2 spawns none today. +//! - **The parent waits for the actual exit.** A pid stays a zombie until it is reaped; we always +//! reap, so the turn is never returned to a pid that still exists. +//! +//! Where it can fail, stated plainly: +//! +//! - **Uninterruptible kernel sleep.** A thread blocked in the kernel (`D` state — a stalled NFS or +//! FUSE mount, a disk that stopped answering) does not die when `SIGKILL` is delivered; it dies +//! when it next returns to user space. The delta search reads the delivery workdir, so a wedged +//! filesystem is exactly the case that defeats the wall clock here. There is no user-space fix: +//! this is the kernel's own guarantee ending. +//! - **The parent must be scheduled.** If this process is itself starved of CPU, stopped +//! (`SIGSTOP`), or paused by its supervisor, nothing is issued and nothing is reaped. A wall-clock +//! claim is a claim about *both* processes running. +//! - **Clocks.** The deadline is `Instant` (monotonic), so it survives wall-clock jumps; it does not +//! survive the machine suspending mid-push, where monotonic time on some platforms does not +//! advance across sleep. +//! +//! **When the assumptions fail, this fails CLOSED.** If the child cannot be reaped within +//! [`REAP_BOUND`] the turn is *not* released — the executor keeps waiting and reports the stall. +//!

Two places in the executor still made that assumption. Drop swallowed a failed reap. Every reporting path already returned Unreaped to a caller that must keep its seat closed, but a drop on a panic or an early return has nowhere to return anything to, so the one path that most needs to fail closed was the one that failed silent. A failed reap now increments a process-wide UNCONFIRMED_CHILDREN that is never decremented -- an unconfirmed child is a permanent fact about this process, not a transient one -- and a seat consults it before treating its delivery lane as free. The release rule is now a named function rather than a shape inferred from whichever paths happen to call it. exclusion_after_reap returns Release ONLY on a reap the kernel completed; a stalled reap, an unreadable status, any error at all returns Retain. Unknown exit is treated as still running. That costs liveness on the affected seat, deliberately, and it is named as lost liveness rather than described as bounded recovery. read_frame had no ceiling. A peer writing without bound is memory this process never bounded, and an unbounded parent-side buffer is a phase outside the drain bound -- moving the pack work into a child while leaving the pipe unbounded would not have closed anything. Frames are capped at 1 MiB, which is three orders of magnitude above the longest field this protocol carries, and a frame past it is a protocol violation rather than an allocation. Both rules are gated: the release rule against all three outcomes, the cap against an oversized frame. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 115 ++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 108 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index fd55275a..7cf21bf9 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -124,6 +124,54 @@ use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; /// rather than hidden inside a longer wait. pub const REAP_BOUND: Duration = Duration::from_secs(5); +/// The largest frame this protocol will read.

An unreaped child retains it for the life of the process rather than hand the seat to a second delivery while the first may still be packing. - The per-request minter stays in the parent. The authority is asked again AFTER the mint and BEFORE the header crosses the pipe, so a token for a leg this delivery no longer owns never reaches the child. - run.rs resolves the child by current_exe, never PATH, and FAILS the delivery if it cannot be resolved rather than fall back to a push that cannot be stopped. --- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 141 +++++++++++++++++++ crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_node/run.rs | 21 ++- 2 files changed, 160 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs index 15ba20d3..f6857a27 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs @@ -971,6 +971,147 @@ pub async fn neutralize_then_push_off_runtime( .await } +/// Off-runtime: the delivery push, run **in a killable child process**, holding this delivery's turn +/// until that child has ACTUALLY EXITED. +/// +/// This is the production path.

The hold is measured: at least the budget, and less than budget + REAP_BOUND. - A push that finishes returns its oid and hands the turn back, so the gate above cannot be satisfied by an executor that kills everything. - A delivery revoked before dispatch spawns NO child at all. - The child receives the header the PARENT minted, for the destination it named; authority that ends during the mint keeps that token on the parent's side of the pipe; an unauthenticated remote cannot obtain one by asking, and the child that asks is killed and confirmed gone. - The release rule itself: Unreaped RETAINS the turn, every confirmed-exit outcome releases it. The test says in the open why an unreapable child cannot be manufactured in user space, and that the rule is therefore gated at the single decision the production path consults. --- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 104 ++-- .../tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs | 443 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 511 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs index f6857a27..3d73b474 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs @@ -971,6 +971,62 @@ pub async fn neutralize_then_push_off_runtime( .await } +/// Whether a finished delivery-push child permits this seat's turn to be released. +/// +/// The fail-closed rule in one place, so it is a rule that can be tested rather than a judgement +/// repeated at each arm of a match. **Unknown exit is treated as still running.** +/// +/// - [`ExecutorError::Unreaped`] is the only outcome that RETAINS the turn: a kill was issued and +/// the exit was not observed, so as far as this process can establish, a push may still be running +/// against this seat's one delivery remote. +/// - [`ExecutorError::Killed`] RELEASES, and that is not an exception to the rule: the executor +/// constructs it only after a reap the kernel completed, and it carries the measured kill-to-exit +/// time.

A signer whose queue is full or whose reply is held used to block the parent inside `mint()`, and a parent blocked in the signer is a parent that never issues the kill. The abandoned thread holds no lock of ours. Gated by a minter that never returns at all: the deadline still lands, the child is killed, its exit confirmed, the turn comes back. - THE CLEANUP IS BOUNDED. Joining the pump thread is unbounded: it sits in a read that ends at EOF, and EOF needs the LAST holder of the write end to close it — a process that escaped the group we killed still holds it, and then the parent never returns at all. We wait for the channel to disconnect instead, under the same REAP_BOUND as the reap, and losing that race FAILS CLOSED: `CleanupUnbounded` retains the turn, because a reaped child whose pipe outlived it does not prove the local phase is over. - A SECOND DELIVERY IS OBSERVED PENDING, through the seat's own serializer and the seat's own lock, while the first one's local phase is wedged: sampled repeatedly, not probed once with try_lock, and the handover instant is compared against the first delivery's return rather than assumed to follow it. The matching control does the same behind a first delivery that SUCCEEDS, so the gate cannot be satisfied by a seat that only ever hands over after a kill. Tokens do cross this pipe — the parent mints a scoped header and writes it to the child, which is the point of the round trip. The signing key does not: it stays in the actor the parent calls. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 77 ++++- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 238 +++++++++---- .../tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs | 315 ++++++++++++++++++ .../tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs | 100 ++++++ 4 files changed, 644 insertions(+), 86 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index 7cf21bf9..a9798a8f 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -266,6 +266,10 @@ pub enum ExecutorError { Killed { after: Duration, reap: Duration }, /// The child was killed and did NOT exit within [`REAP_BOUND`].

Writes now happen on their own thread and the drive waits for the acknowledgement under the same absolute deadline as every other phase; a write that does not complete in time is the same overrun, stopped the same way. The initial push request is written inside that loop rather than before its first check. The frame cap capped one direction. A cap on what this protocol will READ is not a cap on the protocol, so frames are encoded and refused at the writer. The parent's inbound queue was unbounded: a child writing small frames while the supervisor was minting cost this process unbounded memory. It is a synchronous queue now, so the party that stalls is the one that can be killed. The child's stderr was piped and never drained, which turned the transport's own overrun diagnostic into a stalled child and printed nothing; it is relayed, capped. `waitpid` can fail, and that was reported as a protocol fault — which the release rule releases on. An unknown exit wearing a releasable name is a seat handed to a second delivery while the first may still be packing. It has its own outcome now, it retains, and the rule is re-checked once at the single point every outcome leaves the supervisor: if this process has not seen the child exit, nothing releasable leaves there. A panic unwound straight through `RunningWork` and freed the seat; custody is a guard whose default is retention and whose release is explicit. The count of children this process could not confirm dead now has a consumer on the production dispatch — it refuses the next delivery — rather than a comment saying a seat consults it. The child supplied `authority: None` and `lifetime: None` and never read the budget it was sent, so the transport's pre-wire gates did nothing in the one process that actually transmits. The child derives its own deadline from that budget, and asks the parent across the pipe, immediately before it transmits, whether this delivery still owns its turn. No answer is not permission. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 376 ++++++++++++++++-- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 143 ++++++- .../tests/delivery_push_custody.rs | 237 +++++++++++ .../tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs | 14 + .../tests/delivery_push_unconfirmed_lane.rs | 77 ++++ .../tests/delivery_push_child_binary.rs | 5 + 6 files changed, 816 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_custody.rs create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_unconfirmed_lane.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index a9798a8f..71903268 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -110,7 +110,7 @@ use std::ffi::OsString; use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader, Write}; use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; use std::process::{Child, Command, Stdio}; -use std::sync::mpsc::{Receiver, RecvTimeoutError, Sender, channel}; +use std::sync::mpsc::{Receiver, RecvTimeoutError, Sender, SyncSender, channel, sync_channel}; use std::time::{Duration, Instant}; use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; @@ -133,6 +133,23 @@ pub const REAP_BOUND: Duration = Duration::from_secs(5); /// members are a workdir path, a remote URL and one NIP-98 header. pub const MAX_FRAME_BYTES: usize = 1024 * 1024; +/// How many frames the parent will hold from the child while it is busy elsewhere — minting, or +/// waiting on a write. +/// +/// A per-frame size cap is not a memory bound: a child that writes a million small frames while the +/// supervisor is inside the signer costs the parent unbounded memory, and "the parent's own +/// buffering" is a phase nobody put a limit on.

They are honest about the parent's deadline and reap arithmetic and they say nothing about the artifact that actually delivers, so the claim "a delivery runs in a child" rested on a shell script wearing the child's name. This drives `CARGO_BIN_EXE_maxplayer` — the artifact release-platforms.json builds — through the real wrapper, against the crate's smart-HTTP fixture over TLS, and reads the pushed object back out of the bare repo afterwards. The credential is minted in the parent and crosses the pipe when the child asks for it; the private key stays on the parent's side, which is the reason the re-exec exists. Verification is ON for that push, which took a fixture change. Every other fixture test in the workspace reaches the server with `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1`, and a child cannot be told that: the variable is deliberately absent from CHILD_ENV_ALLOWLIST. `SSL_CERT_FILE` is on that allowlist, for a host whose trust store is not the default, so the fixture now hands out the certificate it actually serves and the child is given it the way a musl image would be given one. Its own control is a second test binary that differs in one line — no trust anchor — and requires the push to fail with the remote ref untouched and no request ever reaching the handler; a separate binary because the transport's client is a process-wide OnceLock whose roots are fixed the first time it is built. Two more controls, because a gate that cannot go red is decoration. The wrapper logs `path=inprocess` on success — the push IS in-process, inside the child, and that line reaches the parent's console only because the child's stderr is relayed now — so a parent quietly pushing by itself would look identical from outside. Replacing the child with an executable that runs and exits mute must therefore deliver nothing, and does. And the pack upload is parked ON THE WIRE by the fixture at `POST /git-receive-pack`, released only after the outcome is in hand, so the finite stop cannot be attributed to the remote letting go: the delivery ends after its budget, reports killed-and-confirmed, and the remote ref never moves. Measured on darwin-arm64 only. Nothing here is evidence about the two Linux targets. --- Cargo.lock | 4 + crates/maxplayer-core/Cargo.toml | 6 +- .../tests/delivery_push_untrusted_tls.rs | 147 +++++++ .../tests/delivery_push_verified_tls.rs | 159 ++++++++ .../tests/git_http_fixture/mod.rs | 49 ++- crates/maxplayer/Cargo.toml | 9 + .../tests/delivery_push_shipped_child.rs | 375 ++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 739 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_untrusted_tls.rs create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_verified_tls.rs create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_shipped_child.rs diff --git a/Cargo.lock b/Cargo.lock index 9fca5ea8..9e41eacc 100644 --- a/Cargo.lock +++ b/Cargo.lock @@ -2570,9 +2570,12 @@ dependencies = [ "cdk", "cdk-sqlite", "git2", + "libc", "maxplayer-core", "nostr-sdk", + "rcgen", "rusqlite", + "rustls", "serde", "serde_json", "tokio", @@ -3670,6 +3673,7 @@ version = "0.13.2" source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index" checksum = "75e669e5202259b5314d1ea5397316ad400819437857b90861765f24c4cf80a2" dependencies = [ + "pem", "ring", "rustls-pki-types", "time", diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/Cargo.toml b/crates/maxplayer-core/Cargo.toml index 1a282d7b..3ee348b6 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/Cargo.toml +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/Cargo.toml @@ -189,7 +189,11 @@ futures-util = { version = "0.3", default-features = false } nostr-relay-builder = "0.44" # Local git-over-HTTPS auth fixture (tests/git_http_fixture): rustls server with an # rcgen self-signed cert. ring-backed on both — aws-lc-rs is not in the workspace lock. -rcgen = { version = "0.13", default-features = false, features = ["ring"] } +# `pem` so the fixture can hand a test the certificate it actually serves, as a trust anchor file: +# `tests/delivery_push_verified_tls.rs` pushes with verification ON rather than `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY`, +# because a delivery-push child is given `SSL_CERT_FILE` and never the bypass.

The gate was green under `--test-threads 1` and red in the suite, which is the worst shape a gate can have. Serialized on an explicit lock, with the reason written down: the constraint is not a test artifact.

It is now armed immediately before the child is spawned, and an unarmed drop RELEASES. * Nothing acted on a revocation until the deadline. The parent now waits in CANCELLATION_POLL slices and re-asks its authority on each tick, killing and reaping the child and returning Revoked - a confirmed exit, so the seat moves on. The check-to-send window is bounded by the poll, not closed. * A malformed frame ended the reader, and the cleanup then read the resulting channel disconnect as 'the pipe closed'. The reader now forwards the error and keeps reading; only a zero-byte read is end of file; the cleanup bound is checked at the TOP of every loop iteration, and an unobserved end returns CleanupUnobserved, which retains. * Protocol: a second hello, a result before hello, a reported oid that is not this job's, an unbounded number of mint requests, and an authorization that both grants and refuses were all accepted. None are now. * The child's write budget is computed at write time from the time left. * A child-program override must be an absolute path to an existing file. Module docs narrowed to what is actually proved. Gates: 12 in-file unit tests (cleanup bound under a refilling queue, malformed frame is not EOF, override policy, ambiguous authorization), 3 childless-turn tests proving a REAL next acquisition takes the seat, 6 protocol/revocation tests against real spawned children measuring the revocation reaction against the poll interval rather than the deadline. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 613 ++++++++++++++++-- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 86 ++- .../tests/delivery_push_childless_turn.rs | 334 ++++++++++ .../delivery_push_protocol_and_revocation.rs | 372 +++++++++++ 4 files changed, 1345 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_childless_turn.rs create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_protocol_and_revocation.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index 71903268..37d52508 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -25,13 +25,29 @@ //! destination binding, same authority check, same push deadline — and returns one scoped NIP-98 //! token whose life is the round-trip it was minted for. //! -//!

The child started that clock when it READ the frame, so everything between the parent's write and that read - the scheduler, a loaded host, a slow decode - was time the parent had already spent and the child was given anyway. Stamp the same deadline twice from one moment: the remaining duration, which is a ceiling the child can never exceed, and the same deadline as an absolute wall-clock instant. The child subtracts its own now from the second and takes whichever is smaller. A clock stepped backward between the two reads cannot lift the child past the ceiling; a forward step only shortens it. Neither replaces the parent's kill, and the module header no longer says the transit is unaccounted for, because it no longer is. The gate is a real TCP listener counting accepted connections, not an error string: a child that read its request after the deadline opens none, and the positive control with its whole budget in hand opens one. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 128 ++++++++- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 7 + .../tests/delivery_push_custody.rs | 14 + .../tests/delivery_push_transit_budget.rs | 257 ++++++++++++++++++ .../tests/delivery_push_child_binary.rs | 8 + 5 files changed, 401 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_transit_budget.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index 37d52508..e2164568 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -119,10 +119,13 @@ //! by that signal, is not waited for, and is not claimed to be gone; step 12's EOF wait is what //! notices one still holding the stdout pipe, and even that only while it holds it. //! - **The child's own budget is the parent's remaining time at the instant the request is -//! written**, and the child starts that clock when it reads the frame.

It proved the test had reached a line. It did not prove the serializer had answered anything, so the ordered second-acquisition Pending proof was not in the file. Hold the second delivery's future in the test, pin it, and poll it. Every assertion now reads the Poll that serialized_bounded_push itself returned, with the runtime's own waker, while the first delivery's wedged child is demonstrably alive. The first poll is also the ask, so the spin that waited for the second delivery to announce itself is gone with the marker it watched. The PENDING/ACQUIRED bytes survive only as corroboration that the push body did not run; the Poll is the oracle. --- .../tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs | 136 ++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 74 insertions(+), 62 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs index dab273de..ec22cf8b 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs @@ -18,8 +18,11 @@ //!

The absolute stamp handed to the child was a fresh wall-clock now plus a duration measured BEFORE the request was cloned, so copy time was given back to the child as extra life. The acknowledgement wait was sized by a duration measured before the frame was encoded and handed over, so encoding was charged to nobody. Both now recompute from the absolute deadline at the moment the wait actually starts, and the stamp comes from one pair of readings with only arithmetic between them. The module header claimed the seat is free within deadline + one reap bound. That was wider than the code: the kill/confirmed exit and the end-of-file observation are two consecutive windows, so the seat bound is deadline + 2 * REAP_BOUND, and no claim at all is made about a process that inherited the pipe and escaped the group. Said that way instead. Finding B. Revocation was acted on in one place only - the arm that runs when no frame arrived in time - which made the poll interval conditional on the child being QUIET. A child that keeps the parent busy was never a timeout, so the owner was never re-asked. It is now asked on ELAPSED TIME at the top of the loop, which is what the claim always said. The two long waits that never re-asked at all are now sliced the same way: a write the child has not acknowledged, and a mint whose reply the signer is holding. A revocation during the mint abandons the minting thread and the token is dropped on this side of the pipe, which is what makes the post-mint property hold while the mint is still outstanding. An authority check that comes back refused now ENDS the delivery after the refusal is written, instead of answering no and letting the child run on.

A flood of authority checks. The child asks whether it still holds its turn in a tight loop and reads every answer, so the frame wait never expires. Revoked mid-flood, the delivery must end for revocation within the poll interval, and the gate also asserts the traffic was real (the child was answered >20 times) and that the owner was asked MORE often than the child asked - the poll has to be the parent's clock, not a by-product of the child's silence. Negative control: with the clock-based ask and the end-after-refusal removed, this gate ran the full 30s deadline and failed, exit 101 (neg-B1.log, source neg-B1-source.sha256 4d6f4ed65f7fad00b85b5bcb7ef7596202e20a14a19b863ee3618555fe35b551). An answer stuck in the pipe. The child asks without limit and reads nothing, so the kernel's pipe buffer fills and the parent is left inside a write holding a frame the child will not take.

The existing actor gate mints for a delivery that is going well. Both bounded legs of http_auth_header_blocking - try_send against the full bounded queue, and recv_timeout on the answer - were ungated, and they are the two ways a leg fails on a loaded seat. The actor is the real one, holding a real key from a real home, spawned on its own current-thread runtime whose only worker is then occupied by a blocking sleep. Nothing is mocked: the task simply cannot be polled, which is what a stalled actor is. Held reply must come back 'did not answer before this push's deadline'; with 80 abandoned commands left in a queue of 64, the next ask must come back 'signer queue stayed full past this push's deadline'. Both must RETURN inside their own deadline - a leg that cannot be authorized is failed unauthorized, never parked on the seat's lock. Control: releasing the stall and minting again returns a real Nostr header, so both refusals were about the hold and not a dead actor; and the header is checked byte-wise against the home's secret, which it never contains. r2-c1.log: 1 passed. --- .../tests/delivery_push_shipped_child.rs | 155 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 155 insertions(+) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_shipped_child.rs b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_shipped_child.rs index bd0dbd40..b4920486 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_shipped_child.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_shipped_child.rs @@ -776,3 +776,158 @@ async fn the_shipped_child_delivers_with_tokens_minted_by_the_real_signer_actor( "the seat was never handed back after a successful delivery" ); } + +/// C: THE PRODUCTION SIGNER, HELD AND SATURATED. +/// +/// The gate above proves the actor mints for a delivery that is going well.

Revocation is the owner withdrawing and the executor acting on it. Here the delivery's own tokio task is destroyed mid-flight, the shape of a cancelled request or a shutting-down supervisor, while its child runs and holds the seat. The seat's exclusion is an OwnedMutexGuard moved into the turn and then into the blocking call, so an abort takes the awaiting task and leaves the work: the guard is not the aborter's to drop. Gated: the second delivery returns Poll::Pending from the real serializer while the aborted delivery's child is still alive, the abort really was a cancellation (JoinError::is_cancelled), and the seat moves only after that child is confirmed gone. Measured while writing it, and asserted rather than assumed: the abort drops the turn control, the executor sees it at its next cancellation poll, and the handover lands inside CANCELLATION_POLL + REAP_BOUND - well before the deadline. A first draft required 20 Pending samples at 40ms and failed at 5, because the window is genuinely short; sampling is now 5ms and the SHORTNESS is asserted, so an abort that parked the seat until its deadline would fail this gate. r2-c2b.log: 3 passed. --- .../tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs | 167 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 167 insertions(+) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs index 563b9019..eb623cbb 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs @@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU8, AtomicUsize, Ordering}; use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex}; use std::time::{Duration, Instant}; +use maxplayer_core::delivery_executor::{CANCELLATION_POLL, REAP_BOUND}; use maxplayer_core::seller_git::{neutralize_then_push_in_child_off_runtime, SellerGitError}; use maxplayer_core::seller_node::run::{serialized_bounded_push, DeliveryPushErr}; @@ -366,3 +367,169 @@ async fn wait_for_running_child(pidfile: &std::path::Path, bound: Duration) -> O tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(25)).await; } } + +/// C: A REAL TASK-ABORT, AND A SECOND DELIVERY OBSERVED PENDING THROUGH IT. +/// +/// **This is not a revocation.** No authority ends, nothing tells the delivery to stop, and the +/// difference is the point: revocation is the OWNER withdrawing and the executor acting on it, and +/// the two must not be argued for one another.

Slicing every wait at CANCELLATION_POLL independently is not the bound it looks like. After an ask at t0 a frame/mint/write sequence that finishes at t0+49ms is not a timeout, so no arm re-asks, and the next wait then starts a FULL fresh slice: the owner is not observed until t0+99ms. Nested mint and ACK waits were worse, each beginning its own full slice with no knowledge of when the last ask happened. The interval was a property of each individual wait; the claim was about the delivery. PollClock makes it one clock: every wait is cut at a shared next_ask, whoever is waiting, and every ask re-arms it from the ask itself. stalled_write takes the caller's clock instead of starting its own. The claim is now stated as what holds: no wait outlives the shared next ask. The wall-clock interval between two observations is CANCELLATION_POLL plus the synchronous parent work between one wait returning and the next ask, which no clock in this module can interrupt. A. That synchronous time is named as a term S in the bounds rather than assumed away, with each contributor either capped by size or a single bounded-count operation, and no OS guarantee invented for it. encode_frame now serializes into a sink that refuses past MAX_FRAME_BYTES, so an over-cap frame is abandoned mid-encode rather than built in full and then measured: that phase is bounded by construction instead of by the size of the value. A. REAP_BOUND becomes a budget for the CHILD, not for one call. drive kills, the cleanup normalizes, and Drop kills again behind every return: each starting its own window meant an unconfirmed exit cost three reap windows plus the EOF window, while the module advertised two windows in total. Time spent waiting for a child is accumulated and charged against the same budget; later attempts re-signal, poll the exit once and return. Retrying changes how certain the outcome is, never the bound. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 252 ++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 225 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index 5af50c32..d4439d0e 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -160,24 +160,64 @@ //! something else inherited stays open after the process we killed is gone.

Two gates, split by what each can honestly establish. poll_clock_sizes_every_wait_from_one_shared_deadline is deterministic and has no clock to argue with: a wait entered 40ms into a 50ms interval is sized to the 10ms that remain, a second wait with no ask between them can only shrink, the delivery's own remaining time still wins when it is nearer, an already-due ask yields a zero slice rather than a floor, an ask fires exactly once when due and re-arms from itself, and a refusal is surfaced rather than swallowed. the_owner_is_observed_within_the_poll_even_when_every_wait_is_entered_late_in_it drives a real child that arrives late in every interval and holds three mints open, and bounds the worst gap between authority observations. That behavioural gate is calibrated, and the reason is measured rather than assumed: on this host a wait asked to return in 50ms returns in about 190ms, and a shell `sleep 0.04` outlasts a whole poll interval. The 40ms difference between one shared deadline and a fresh per-wait slice is below the measurement floor here, so the gate calibrates the host's own overshoot with the same primitive `drive` waits on and bounds the worst gap by poll + overshoot + slack: enough to reject a return to deadline-long waits, not enough to discriminate one interval from two. The sizing rule is proved by the unit gate instead, and both comments say so rather than letting the weaker measurement stand for the stronger claim. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 91 ++++++++++ .../delivery_push_protocol_and_revocation.rs | 163 +++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 253 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index d4439d0e..e09d84d0 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -1836,6 +1836,97 @@ pub fn minted_answer(header: Option, refused: Option) -> Result< mod tests { use super::*; + /// THE SIZING RULE, WITHOUT A CLOCK TO ARGUE WITH. + /// + /// The behavioural cadence gate in `tests/delivery_push_protocol_and_revocation.rs` can only + /// bound the worst observed gap, and on a host whose timed wakeups are coalesced its floor is + /// wider than the defect.

The assertion would have passed on the very behaviour it was written to exclude. The deadline is now taken as an Instant outside the spawned task, and the gate compares against what was still owed at the moment of the abort: the seat must come back strictly before the original deadline, the handover must be shorter than the time still left on it, and shorter by a factor of two — because the abort path is bounded by the cancellation poll plus the reap while deadline cleanup cannot start before the deadline, so anything near `remaining_at_abort` is indistinguishable and the gate refuses to call it. Measured on this run: abort_to_handover=111.6ms against remaining_at_abort=2.58s.

Neither is the phase this executor exists for: libgit2 walking and packing objects, where the cancellation answer is discarded and only a kill ends it. The stall is a kernel primitive rather than a size heuristic. One reachable loose TREE object is replaced by a FIFO nothing ever writes to, so the packbuilder's queue_objects walk blocks in open(2) indefinitely, while the gated commit still resolves because a commit lookup does not read its tree. That it is LOCAL and not the wire is asserted, not claimed: libgit2 buffers the whole pack in HttpStream::write and issues the POST only on the first read, so a delivery stopped in the walk has necessarily sent its advertisement GET and no POST at all, and the fixture is asked exactly that. That the child is GONE is asserted the same way. open(fifo, O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK) returns ENXIO only when nobody holds the object open for reading, so a kill_and_reap that reported success without signalling leaves this red while every timing assertion stays green. The FIFO rendezvous semantics were measured on this host before being relied on.

It proves the signer's own call returns at its own deadline; it cannot say whether a DELIVERY whose minter is parked in that signer is still stopped on time. These gates run the delivery, with the minter rebuilt call for call from run.rs:7722-7757 - destination binding, authority check, deadline check, then the real http_auth_header_blocking against a real actor over a real bootstrapped home. No stub minter in the file. The signer's deadline is deliberately looser than the turn (60s against a 2.5s budget), which is the production shape: push_deadline is now + 150s while the turn can end at any moment through a dropped PushAuthority. If the stop had to wait for the minter, each test would take a minute and fail its bound. That the hold was still in force when the delivery returned is asserted rather than assumed, so the stop cannot be credited to a signer that quietly recovered. Held reply and saturated queue are separate gates because they are separate refusal paths in the signer. An expired turn mints nothing and touches no remote - asserted against a LIVE signer, so the refusal is the turn's and not an actor that could not answer. The control ships with them: the same wiring with the signer polled normally mints real NIP-98 headers, the relay sees them on the wire, the pack uploads and the ref moves. --- ...ivery_push_production_signer_integrated.rs | 667 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 667 insertions(+) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_production_signer_integrated.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_production_signer_integrated.rs b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_production_signer_integrated.rs new file mode 100644 index 00000000..717a08a7 --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_production_signer_integrated.rs @@ -0,0 +1,667 @@ +//!

Across the window that decides whether two deliveries can overlap (deadline, SIGKILL, wait for exit) the seat is unobserved. These four gates poll B across that window and assert the cadence they achieved: no gap wider than 50ms from before A's stop until after B took the seat, every sample Pending. The floor is on the GAP, not on a sample count, because a fast stop legitimately yields few samples. No-overlap is asked of the operating system rather than of the code under test. A's child is identified by the pid that APPEARS while its leg is parked, and kill(pid, 0) - which still succeeds for a zombie - says when it left the process table for good. A stop that freed the seat while its child was still pushing satisfies every other assertion in the file and fails that one. Both stops are covered, on both legs. Timeout is the delivery's own deadline; the serializer's outer wait is left far longer deliberately, because if it fired first the executor's deadline kill would never be reached. TASK ABORT drops the whole delivery future where it stands - the case the turn's ownership transfer exists for, since the seat's lock guard is moved into the turn and must not come back when the awaiting task dies. --- ...ery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs | 524 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 524 insertions(+) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4eff2e4d --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs @@ -0,0 +1,524 @@ +//!

S has no number for good reasons: the spawn happens before `drive` is entered at all, and the authority check is whatever the owner's closure costs. A stop late by S is a child still writing to the seat's workdir after its turn ended. KillableChild::arm_deadline_watchdog hands the absolute deadline to a thread whose whole body is sleep-wake-signal. It is armed at the earliest instant a pid exists -- before the pipes are taken, before the pump and writer threads, before the first encode. It never encodes, never decodes, never mints and never asks the owner anything, so when the child is signalled no longer depends on where the supervisor is. The bound this buys, stated with its assumptions rather than as a guarantee: the group is signalled within `deadline + WATCHDOG_TICK + w`, w being the time this OS takes to wake a slept thread and deliver a signal on a machine still scheduling us. No figure is printed for w and no universal OS guarantee is claimed. The claim is the SHAPE: scheduler latency, not a term that grows with a frame's size or a signer's silence. Signal and reap are interlocked through ExitGuard: try_wait and the disarm happen in one locked section, so the watchdog can never signal a pid this process has already reaped and which the kernel may have reused. The supervisor's own kill goes through the same lock. Custody is unchanged, and so is the contract: fixed stop-A, confirm exit, release lock. The watchdog bounds when the child is SIGNALLED; confirming the exit, reporting it, and keeping the seat on an exit nobody observed all remain exactly where they were. attribute_vanished_child: a child killed by the watchdog reaches the supervisor as end of file, which used to be reported unconditionally as a protocol violation -- correct when the supervisor issued every kill itself, a misattribution now. A deadline stop is reported as ExecutorError::Killed whichever side issued it. T3's poll floor moved from a sample count to the complete window. The stop is now short enough to fit in two polls of a 1ms loop, and a count floor would have failed for the stop being faster. The gap is instead asserted from the instant observation began, across every sample, to B's Ready -- so no interval goes unobserved at any speed, which is what the test was always for. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 248 ++++++++++++++++-- ...ery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs | 23 +- 2 files changed, 245 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index e31ab29f..ddedc532 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -163,9 +163,29 @@ //!

The second half had exactly ONE publisher — TurnControl::end, reached from the supervisor's own stack — so a supervisor that never got there held the seat for as long as it stalled. That is the unbounded S term in delivery_executor's bounds, and it sat between 'this process confirmed the child's exit' and 'the next delivery may begin'. CustodyBailiff is a second publisher that runs on neither side. It may hand the seat on only when all three hold, re-checked every tick: the work STOPPED (a passed deadline is not a stopped delivery), this process OBSERVED the exit (a signal issued is not an exit confirmed), and the supervisor is not inside a declared shared-state section — which it is fenced out of entering in the same compare-and-swap that reads it, so there is no window. No-overlap and unknown-exit retention are unchanged: a supervisor inside a section is never fenced out from under itself, and an exit nobody observed still retains the seat for the life of the process. Tests first, in tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs: a real child through the real executor with the supervisor parked, measured against a stated literal bound; continuous pending until the handoff; and the two mutation controls. --- crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs | 272 +++++++++++- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 11 +- crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_node/run.rs | 37 ++ .../tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs | 390 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 708 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs index a8758e5f..db09bcc9 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ //! `crate::seller_node::run::DELIVERY_DRAIN_BOUND`.

Child::try_wait is the only call that turns a kill into a CONFIRMED exit, and the child handle lived on the supervisor's stack, so confirmation was reachable from the synchronous executor and nowhere else. An executor parked in the owner's authority check (E:1382) or in its own request clone (E:1473) never reached it: the kill was independent of that stall, the confirmation was not, and the bailiff refuses without one. The child handle moves into ExitGuard - the mutex that already made a late signal impossible - so whichever thread reaches it first may reap. The watchdog now reaps what it killed and publishes the exit itself, charging the SAME REAP_BOUND budget so confirming from there buys no window the seat was never promised. Both halves are published, because the bailiff requires ENDED as well as a confirmation and both sat behind the same stalled return. It is sound at exactly one instant: after the kernel reported the child's exit. A signal, a passed deadline, a spent budget and a caller that gave up all leave it unpublished, and an unknown exit still retains the seat. T-S6 parks the executor in the authority check and asserts it never returns while the seat comes back within WATCHDOG_TICK + REAP_BOUND + CUSTODY_TICK. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 295 +++++++++++++++--- crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_turn.rs | 55 ++++ crates/maxplayer-core/src/seller_git.rs | 21 +- .../tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs | 120 ++++++- 4 files changed, 442 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index ddedc532..732dbf92 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -652,36 +652,72 @@ fn reap_window_left(spent: Duration) -> Duration { REAP_BOUND.saturating_sub(spent) } +/// **This process observed the delivery's exit.** Handed to [`KillableChild`] by the seat, and +/// fired from whichever thread actually saw the kernel report the exit. +/// +/// It is a callback rather than a direct call into the turn because the confirmation has to be +/// publishable from a thread that owns none of the delivery's state — the deadline watchdog — and +/// this module must not have to know what a turn is in order to let it. +/// +/// FIRED ONLY FROM AN OBSERVED EXIT.

Both write-failure sites returned Protocol unconditionally, so the deadline watchdog doing its job was reported as a malformed delivery - the one cause an operator would act on differently. Attribution is on the watchdog's own flag, not on 'the deadline has passed': a clock reading would claim every late failure as a stop, including a real protocol fault that landed after the deadline. Custody is untouched. Both causes release, and the reap that precedes the call already decided the question - an unreaped or unwaitable child returns through ? as Unreaped or WaitFailed and retains before this is reached. The end-to-end path is a real race between the drive loop's slice expiring and the kill landing, which is why gate-final-2 caught this intermittently; the rule is now pinned by two unit tests that cannot race. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 122 +++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 116 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index 732dbf92..0686b7da 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -1074,6 +1074,15 @@ impl KillableChild { } } + /// Time charged against this child's [`REAP_BOUND`] budget by EVERY reaper — the supervisor's + /// attempts and the watchdog's alike, which is the point of keeping the total on the guard. + pub fn spent_reaping(&self) -> Duration { + self.guard + .lock() + .unwrap_or_else(|poisoned| poisoned.into_inner()) + .spent_reaping + } + /// True once the kernel has reported this child's exit status — to EITHER reaper. pub fn is_reaped(&self) -> bool { self.guard @@ -1996,6 +2005,42 @@ fn attribute_vanished_child( /// an ask therefore waited until 95 ms past it.

The helper did not make that call: destination binding, then deadline, then signer. The one omitted call is the one the chain is about - a minter parked inside the signer is exactly when an authority can end underneath it. production_minter now takes the real PushAuthority::check closure and asks it between binding the destination and signing, with production's own error wrapping. All four deliveries build a live PushAuthority and pass it to the transport as well, so each request leaves through the same check production uses. The expired-turn gate keeps its authority LIVE on purpose: it is about the turn doing the stopping, so a dead authority must not be what stops it. Claim kept rather than dropped, because the wiring now matches it.

It now requires the NAMED ASSERTION: a compile failure is rejected as "NOT EVIDENCE", each named test must be reported FAILED, the failure count must match exactly, and the required assertion substring must appear in the output. A mutant that goes red for the wrong reason is reported as WRONG REASON, not as a catch. Every phase is bound to hashes: source sha256 and root-tree before mutating, while mutated, and after restoring, with restoration required to hash-match pre. Restoration is from pristine copies taken before the run, never git checkout, so uncommitted work is not reverted. Receipts carry the head, the anchor count, the red log's own sha256, and the green controls. oracle-red-before-green.sh records red-before-green provenance for T1/T2/T3. Two findings are recorded in the script rather than buried: - T2's deadline is defended in four independent places. Removing the watchdog alone survives; watchdog plus the drive loop's expiry check survives; adding the child's own clock survives. The redundancy is real, so the mutant used is single-site and matches T2's own wording: the parent's wait for the mint is made unbounded, and both gates refuse the 60.04s stop against a 2.5s budget. - T3's cancellation propagation could not be killed by mutating the product. Deleting the drive loop's periodic authority ask survives (7.91s); so does deleting the parent's authority ANSWER in all four places it is produced. On this branch an aborted wire delivery is not stopped by authority propagation at all, and which mechanism does stop it is a real question about the branch, reported rather than answered by widening this fold. What round 2 asked for is settled by a labelled FIXTURE control: removing the abort reproduces "a cancellation ignored until the natural deadline", and the new abort-relative bound is what refuses it.

The 101 was one test, on its LAST assertion: a_local_phase_that_refuses_to_stop_is_ended_at_the_deadline_and_its_exit_is_confirmed panicked at delivery_push_production_child.rs:138: the fixture child must have recorded its pid: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound } Everything before that line passed: the delivery returned Cancelled, the refusal said "was killed" AND "confirmed the exit", and the return landed inside [budget, budget + REAP_BOUND). The parent behaved. What was missing was the FIXTURE's pidfile, written by the child's first line — so the test failed on a PREMISE, not on a bound, and nothing about the product's custody behaviour is implicated. The deadline these tests arm has to cover the neutralize, the spawn, and a /bin/sh reaching that first line. Lose that race and the parent correctly kills a child that has written nothing. FOUR EXPERIMENTS, in scripts/pidfile-101-cause.sh, receipts in logs/pidfile101/: E1 Prepending `sleep 2` to the fixture body reproduces the gate's failure exactly — same test, same panic, same 9-passed-1-failed shape. Mechanism confirmed; nothing about the parent, the deadline or the kill is touched. CAUGHT. E2 12 idle runs and 12 under 2x-ncpu spin load: 0 failures either way. E3 E2's null result explained, as a number. Shrinking the budget shows the test still passes at 250ms, so the headroom at 1500ms is about 1350ms — a busy CPU alone never spends it. E4 The gate's actual condition, which is different in kind: the workspace's own 40 test binaries run in parallel, continuously, while the named test runs against them. 15 of 15 failed, all 15 on the missing pidfile. The window is real and reachable. THE CHANGE. Startup now has its own named allowance (CHILD_STARTUP), and every bound in the two affected tests is stated relative to the DEADLINE rather than to the call — "not before it, and within REAP_BOUND after it". No bound is weakened; what changes is that process startup is no longer charged against the budget being measured. Both tests, and the file, pass idle: 10/10. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO, measured rather than assumed. Re-running E4 against the fixed tests still fails 13 of 15, on the same missing pidfile (logs/pidfile101-fix/). The allowance raises the headroom about eightfold, from ~1.35s to ~11.35s; it does not make the race impossible. That load — forty binaries looping without pause — is deliberately far harsher than a gate, which runs each suite once. So this is reported as what it is: exposure reduced by a known factor, not eliminated, with the residual risk named. Removing it entirely means letting the child's own startup gate the deadline, which is a change to the executor's API and not this round's scope. No retry, no tolerance, no ignored failure. --- .../tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs | 54 +++- scripts/pidfile-101-cause.sh | 287 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 326 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) create mode 100755 scripts/pidfile-101-cause.sh diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs index ce210b74..19c67fca 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs @@ -57,6 +57,24 @@ fn fixture(dir: &Path, body: &str) -> PathBuf { const HELLO: &str = r#"printf '{"t":"Hello","version":1,"argv":[],"env":{}}\n'"#; +/// What the CHILD is allowed for coming up, kept OUT of the budget whose bound is being measured. +/// +/// The single 101 in gate-final.log was here.

Miss that window and the parent kills a child that has not yet +# written anything — the pidfile never exists, `read_to_string` returns ENOENT, and the test panics +# on a premise rather than on a bound. +# +# Two experiments, both recorded here: +# +# E1 DETERMINISTIC REPRODUCTION. `sleep 2` is prepended to the fixture body, so the child is +# provably still ahead of its first line when the 1500ms deadline lands. If the diagnosis is +# right this reproduces the gate's failure EXACTLY — same test, same panic, same 9-passed +# 1-failed shape. Nothing about the parent, the deadline, or the kill is touched. +# +# E2 THE GATE'S OWN CONDITION. The unmutated test, run repeatedly, first on an idle machine and +# then under the CPU load a --workspace gate actually produces. A failure count that is zero +# idle and non-zero loaded is the in-situ confirmation: the window is reachable on this +# machine, and `gate-final.log` is where it was reached. +# +# E3 THE MARGIN, AS A NUMBER. E2 says whether the window was lost on one occasion; it cannot say +# how close the test runs to losing it. E3 measures that directly by shrinking the BUDGET — +# the only thing standing between the child and the kill — until the test starts failing on +# the missing pidfile, idle. The largest budget that still fails is what this machine needs, +# idle, to get a /bin/sh through its first line behind a neutralize and a spawn; 1500ms minus +# that is the entire headroom the gate has. A small headroom is the quantitative half of the +# diagnosis, and it is reported as whatever it measures. +# +# E4 THE REAL GATE CONDITION. E2's load was spin loops, and E3 explains why that was never going +# to be enough: idle, this test survives a budget of 250ms, so the headroom at 1500ms is about +# 1350ms and a busy CPU alone does not spend it. What `gate-final.log` was actually doing is +# different in kind — dozens of test binaries resident at once, each forking children, all +# against one disk. E4 reproduces THAT: every other already-built test binary in the workspace +# is run in parallel, continuously, while the named test is run against them. No cargo is +# involved in the measurement, so nothing waits on the build lock and the load is the gate's +# own, not a simulation of it. +# +# Usage: scripts/pidfile-101-cause.sh [logdir] +# PIDFILE101_PHASES="e4" scripts/pidfile-101-cause.sh [logdir] # re-run one phase +set -euo pipefail + +root="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)" +logs="${1:-$root/target/pidfile-101-cause}" +mkdir -p "$logs" +receipts="$logs/receipts.txt" +targets=() +: > "$receipts" + +# shellcheck source=mutation-lib.sh +source "$root/scripts/mutation-lib.sh" +receipt "pidfile-101 cause: experiments E1 (deterministic) and E2 (in situ)" +receipt "" + +gate="$root/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs" +register_target "$gate" + +test_name=a_local_phase_that_refuses_to_stop_is_ended_at_the_deadline_and_its_exit_is_confirmed + +phases="${PIDFILE101_PHASES:-e1 e2 e3 e4}" +run_phase() { case " $phases " in *" $1 "*) return 0 ;; *) return 1 ;; esac; } + +if run_phase e1; then +echo "== E1: the child is still ahead of its first line when the deadline lands ==" +# The WHOLE file runs, not just the named test, so the reproduction can be compared shape-for-shape +# with the gate's "9 passed; 1 failed". +suite=(cargo test -p maxplayer-core --all-features --locked + --test delivery_push_production_child) +run_mutant "E1/M-CHILD-STARTS-LATE" "$gate" \ +'\necho $$ > {}\n{HELLO}\nwhile :;' '\nsleep 2\necho $$ > {}\n{HELLO}\nwhile :;' \ + 1 \ + "the fixture child must have recorded its pid" \ + "$logs/e1-child-starts-late.log" \ + "$test_name" + +restore_targets +fi + +if run_phase e2; then +echo "== E2: how often the unmutated test loses that window, idle vs under spin load ==" +# Build first, so compilation is never part of what is being timed or loaded. +cargo test -p maxplayer-core --all-features --locked \ + --test delivery_push_production_child --no-run > "$logs/e2-build.log" 2>&1 + +# Runs are deliberately few: each is a real 1.5s deadline plus reap, and the point is a count, not +# a distribution. +runs="${PIDFILE101_RUNS:-12}" +cpus="$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu 2> /dev/null || nproc)" + +measure() { + local label="$1" log="$2" failures=0 enoent=0 i + : > "$log" + for i in $(seq 1 "$runs"); do + echo "--- run $i ---" >> "$log" + if ! cargo test -p maxplayer-core --all-features --locked \ + --test delivery_push_production_child \ + -- --exact "$test_name" >> "$log" 2>&1; then + failures=$((failures + 1)) + if grep -q "the fixture child must have recorded its pid" "$log"; then + enoent=$((enoent + 1)) + fi + fi + done + echo "$label: $failures/$runs failed, $enoent of them on the missing pidfile. $log" + receipt " $label" + receipt " runs = $runs" + receipt " failed = $failures" + receipt " failed_on_pidfile = $enoent" + receipt " log_sha256 = $(sha_of "$log")" + # Echoed so the two halves of E2 can be compared as numbers by someone who did not run it. + eval "${label}_failed=$failures" +} + +receipt "== E2 (unmutated, $runs runs each)" +receipt " head = $(git -C "$root" rev-parse HEAD)" +receipt " source_sha256 = $(sha_of "$gate")" +receipt " cpus = $cpus" + +measure idle "$logs/e2-idle.log" + +# The load a `cargo test --workspace` gate actually puts on this machine: every core busy, so a +# forked /bin/sh waits behind runnable work before it reaches its first line. +hogs=() +for _ in $(seq 1 "$((cpus * 2))"); do + (while :; do :; done) & + hogs+=("$!") +done +trap 'kill "${hogs[@]}" 2> /dev/null || true; cleanup_mutations' EXIT +measure loaded "$logs/e2-loaded.log" +kill "${hogs[@]}" 2> /dev/null || true +hogs=() +trap 'cleanup_mutations' EXIT + +receipt "" +receipt "== VERDICT" +if [ "${loaded_failed:-0}" -gt 0 ] && [ "${idle_failed:-0}" -eq 0 ]; then + echo "CAUSE ESTABLISHED: idle ${idle_failed}/$runs, loaded ${loaded_failed}/$runs — the window is lost under gate load." + receipt " idle_failed = ${idle_failed}" + receipt " loaded_failed = ${loaded_failed}" + receipt " cause = the fixture child had not reached its first line when the 1500ms deadline" + receipt " landed; the parent killed a child that had written no pidfile, and the test's" + receipt " closing premise check — not any bound it asserts — is what failed." +else + echo "NOT REPRODUCED IN SITU: idle ${idle_failed:-0}/$runs, loaded ${loaded_failed:-0}/$runs.

Under default features the test target therefore tried to import three modules that are not compiled, and `cargo check -p maxplayer-core --locked --all-targets` failed with three errors that were mine. The workspace check exits 0 because feature unification enables git-delivery for the whole graph, and an --all-features test gate compiles the modules too, so neither instrument could see this. The per-package default-features check is the one that can. Adding #![cfg(feature = "git-delivery")] takes that command from 18 errors to 14 and removes this file from the failures entirely. The remaining 14 are pre-existing in delivery_push_custody.rs, delivery_push_observed_pending.rs and delivery_push_unconfirmed_lane.rs from 32be84bc and c6c4c3ff, and are deliberately untouched here. No product code changes. Under --all-features the test compiles and runs exactly as before. --- crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs index 08d391c5..8eec971f 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ //! the same contract `delivery_executor` documents.

ENDED publication could release the seat BEFORE the delivery was cleaned up. Reaping says the child is gone; it does not say that nothing from this delivery still holds the pipe. A child that leaves a descendant behind is reaped at once while that descendant keeps the write end and keeps running, so publishing at the reap handed the seat on while a process from this delivery was still alive — and CleanupUnbounded/CleanupUnobserved are raised far too late to take a released seat back. The confirmation is now owed TWO facts, an observed exit and an observed EOF, and is published by whichever arrives SECOND. The EOF fact is reported by the PUMP thread through the new CleanupSink, not by the supervisor, so the property round 2 established is preserved: a stalled executor still cannot hold the seat. Only EOF establishes cleanup — a failed read and a parent that stopped listening say nothing about who holds the descriptor, so both leave the seat retained, fail-closed. 1b. The watchdog's own reap charged REAP_BOUND only when it observed an exit. The timeout and error paths returned WITHOUT charging, so the supervisor's later reap re-read a budget this thread had already spent and could spend the same window again: the sum the seat's bound is stated in no longer bounded the time actually spent, on exactly the path where the wait is longest. Every exit from that loop is now charged, once, on the way out. (Charging per iteration would shrink the window being measured against and end the wait early; the loop is extracted as reap_after_watchdog_kill so a test can drive the accounting directly.)

Round 2 recorded two product mutants that survived T3 and left the stopping mechanism unidentified. It is identified now, and the reason both survived is not gate weakness: NEITHER MUTANT WAS ON THIS PATH. This gate calls neutralize_then_push_in_child_off_runtime with authority: None, so the executor's authority ask and answer are not wired into an aborted wire delivery at all, and deleting them could not change a run that never used them. End to end, an aborted wire delivery stops like this: 1. first.abort() drops the delivery future at its await. The blocking push is NOT cancelled — it runs under spawn_blocking, and dropping that JoinHandle leaves the closure running. 2. Dropping the future drops the supervisor's TurnControl, whose Drop calls end(). That is the only thing the abort itself does. 3. The still-running closure holds a WorkLifetime over the same turn, wired into the transport as its per-leg/per-chunk gate. The next check sees WorkEnded, the leg fails, and the child is killed and reaped. So: TURN REVOCATION OBSERVED BY THE TRANSPORT GATE — not authority propagation, not task cancellation. Proven at product level, not by a fixture: R3-2/M-NO-REVOKE-ON-DROP makes TurnControl::drop a no-op and both abort gates go red at the abort-relative bound (B took the seat 58.741692709s and 60.052326334s after the abort, past the 13.05s this stop is allowed — exactly the "cancellation ignored until the delivery's own 60s deadline" shape the oracle exists to refuse). Both TIMEOUT gates in the same file stay GREEN, so the mutant discriminates the abort path rather than breaking the file's premise. The fixture control T3/C-NO-ABORT is kept and stays labelled as a fixture control; it is no longer the only thing standing behind this gate. --- ...ery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs | 15 +++++ scripts/oracle-red-before-green.sh | 63 +++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs index cec7011d..0f12614c 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs @@ -25,6 +25,21 @@ //! delivery would free the seat instantly while its child was still pushing.

Round 2 raised the startup allowance and left the residual measured but not accounted for. Accounting for it here. THE RESIDUAL: the allowance reduces the window, it does not close it. Under the same harsh condition used to find it (the workspace's forty test binaries looping in parallel), this test still loses the race 13 of 15 on the missing pidfile. Headroom rose ~1.35s -> ~11.35s, about eightfold, and a gate-shaped load does not spend it — the gate-final.log 101 has not recurred in the round-2 or round-3 runs. A lost race presents as ENOENT on the pidfile: a failed PREMISE that looks like a failed bound, and it is never to be waived as a flake. WHY NO TEST-SIDE FIX CLOSES IT: the budget is handed over before the child exists. delivery_turn takes an absolute deadline, and the executor arms the watchdog at the earliest instant a pid exists so that no interval exists in which a child could go wrong unwatched. Both are load-bearing, so the clock necessarily starts before the child does, and every in-test remedy is a guess at startup cost. This constant is a bigger guess. THE CHANGE IT NEEDS, stated: the work deadline must start at OBSERVED READINESS. * arm_deadline_watchdog(deadline) becomes two-phase: a startup bound armed at spawn, and the work deadline armed on an observed readiness signal. * the executor's entry points take a budget plus that observation rather than one absolute Instant, so "deadline before the child is up" is unspeakable. * the child protocol gains the readiness signal — a wire change; today the child's first act is writing its pid and there is no frame for "up". WHY DEFERRED: arming later reopens the window the design closes — a child that hangs before readiness would be bounded only by the new startup bound, making that bound a second safety property needing its own custody and gates. That is a product change to the mechanism this PR exists to make trustworthy and belongs to its own review, not to a corner of this one. No retry, no tolerance, no waiver.

It could not have. That assertion was built entirely from observer-sampled stamps, and the overlap it named is decided by stamps the participants record themselves -- A's own Token drop (released_at) and B's own entry into its push body (acquired_at). No polling cadence can move either number. So the check failed when the POLLER was descheduled, never when two deliveries overlapped, which is why it reds intermittently under real gate load and passes on an idle host. The limit is NOT widened. Widening enlarges the interval in which the seat goes unwatched while still proving nothing: it converts a failing oracle into a silent one, which is worse than the red. Instead the file now states its claim so that a descheduled observer cannot decide it: - The child check is stated on PRESENCE rather than absence. It used to demand that A's child be OBSERVED ABSENT before B acquired; absence is observed late under load, so the stamp drifts past the acquisition and the gate reds on a run where nothing overlapped. A sample that finds the child ALIVE proves it was alive at that instant, and starving the observer takes such samples away rather than inventing later ones. The assertion is now that A's child was never seen alive at or after the instant B took the seat. - The cadence number is reported, not asserted. It says how often the observer got to look, which is a fact about the observer; it is printed because it tells a reader how strongly a run CORROBORATES the checks above. Controls, same host, same injected stall of 200ms in the polling loop and no product change whatsoever: - the previous oracle RED at 203.635959ms (limit 50ms), exit 101 - this one GREEN at a widest gap of 203.261042ms, exit 0 so the red was manufactured by descheduling the observer, and it is gone. Discriminating power is unchanged where it matters. With the abort suppressed (T3/C-NO-ABORT) the two abort gates still fail, at the abort-relative bound -- "B took the seat 30.05508425s after A was aborted, past the 13.05s this stop is allowed" -- while both timeout gates pass. The failing count is now 2, which is what the receipt expects; the run that reported 3 was counting this cadence assert firing on a TIMEOUT row, and that drift is what stopped the combined receipts run. RESIDUAL, stated rather than claimed: I could not demonstrate the new alive-after-acquire assertion going red. Two mutants were tried and neither produced the overlap it looks for. Confirming the exit on signal-sent survives, because release also requires supervisor_done and the supervisor's completion implies its own reap, so the early confirmation is masked. Corrupting both gates at once breaks the turn machinery instead: the seat is never handed back and the release clock is left poisoned, so the run dies at "A's turn was never handed back" rather than on an overlap. The assertion is therefore corroboration whose falsifiability is UNPROVEN here, and the exclusion this file rests on is the participant-stamped ordering, which is unchanged and still asserted. This is the GET-TIMEOUT observation row only. It is not the abort-mutant stopping causality, and no common cause with E4 is claimed. --- ...ery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs | 86 +++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 58 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs index 0f12614c..8fc388a6 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs @@ -11,10 +11,12 @@ //! the exit) the second delivery is not polled at all.

It had never been observed to fail, which is the same silence the no-widening rule forbids wearing a different shape: widening a limit, demoting a check to a diagnostic and replacing it with an assertion that cannot fail all land in one place. It fails now, on a named mutant, and the sampling defect that made it unfalsifiable is fixed. THE SAMPLING DEFECT. The process table was sampled once per iteration, BEFORE the poll. B stamps its acquisition DURING the poll, so on the last iteration -- the one where B takes the seat and may finish -- the alive sample preceded the acquisition by construction, and the one interval this check exists to witness was invisible to it. That is why it stayed green against an overlap a plain process-table check could see. The child is now sampled on both sides of the poll. THE MUTANT: R3-3/M-REAP-WITHOUT-WAITING, one site, in `kill_and_reap`. It calls the SIGNAL a reap: the exit is claimed and the confirmation published without ever waiting for it, so the signalled child stays in the process table, unreaped, while the seat is handed on to the next delivery. That is exactly what the fail-closed rule in this module forbids -- releasing a seat on an exit nobody observed -- and it produces a real overlap rather than a broken harness. RED on all four rows, at the named assertion: A's child was observed ALIVE 3.875us AFTER B entered its push body: two deliveries were live against the same workdir at once with 2.416us, 3.041us and 3.375us on the other three, exit 101; green again on the same head with the mutant reverted. COVERAGE REPORTING, NOT AN EXCLUSION CLAIM. The demoted cadence number now says so in the test in those words, so that a later reader cannot cite it as proof that two deliveries did not overlap. It is not one and never was. Two earlier mutants did NOT produce an overlap, recorded because they are evidence about the product rather than gaps in the gate. Confirming the exit on signal-sent is masked: release also requires `supervisor_done`, and the supervisor's completion implies its own reap. Skipping the fail-closed backstop at the end of the confirming run changes nothing either, because every arm of `drive` has already reaped by the time control reaches it -- that backstop is a second line of defence, not the reap. Still the GET-TIMEOUT observation row only: not the abort-mutant stopping causality, and no common cause with E4 is claimed. --- ...ery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs | 31 ++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs index 8fc388a6..db3438da 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer/tests/delivery_push_wire_abort_polled_through_reap.rs @@ -414,7 +414,17 @@ async fn a_parked_leg_is_stopped_and_b_never_overlaps(label: &str, leg: Leg, sto } else if child_gone_at.is_none() { child_gone_at = Some(at); } - match poll_once(second.as_mut()).await { + let polled = poll_once(second.as_mut()).await; + // Sampled AGAIN, after the poll.

Under the conditions this check exists to survive it degraded to silence rather than to failure, and a reader of a green run could not tell "nothing overlapped" from "nobody looked". That is fail-open, and it was a second reason the check's teeth were unshown, separate from the mutant question settled in the previous commit. The run must now show it looked at the interval it judges. Every lookup records `last_sample_at` whatever it sees, and some sample must fall at or after the instant B entered its push body. Absent evidence is not evidence of absence; here it is a failure. CONTROL C-STARVED-OBSERVER, the observer stops looking after its first three iterations, which is what starvation does -- it removes samples rather than moving them later. Same host, same fixtures, no product change: before this commit: 4 passed, exit 0 -- GREEN having observed nothing after this commit: 4 failed, exit 101, at the coverage assertion no sample of A's child was taken at or after B entered its push body -- the last look was 1.696457333s BEFORE it -- so this run observed nothing about the interval it exists to judge and cannot corroborate exclusion with 55.241791ms on another row. The green half is the point: the old form passed a run in which the observer never once looked at the window it was judging. The overlap mutant from the previous commit, R3-3/M-REAP-WITHOUT-WAITING, is still caught at the named assertion -- child observed alive 8.208us, 9.541us, 11.375us and 14us after B entered its push body -- so closing the fail-open path did not blunt the check it guards. Clean tree green on the same head.

Measured, idle M2 Pro, Darwin 25.6, kill issued the way the executor issues it: 6 of 1500 group kills of the old wedge left such a survivor, each holding the pipe for 53–63 ms (an escaped `sleep 0.05` living out its life); a `sleep 0.005` wedge, 6 of 1500 at 8–10 ms. Under load the survivor lives as long as fork/exec takes on that host, which this branch has already measured past ten seconds under the gate's parallel test binaries (delivery_push_production_child, CHILD_STARTUP). That is the shape of the two `CleanupUnbounded` failures at 5.1 s recorded against that file, and of the abort handover measured at 1.788 s against a 50 ms poll in delivery_push_observed_pending: a prompt kill, then a seat waiting for a process the kill never reached. The `sleep 5` tails written right after a child's last frame are the same race with the kill landing microseconds after the fork; not reproduced in 400 probe kills, closed on the same principle. The production child forks nothing, so its stand-in must not either. tests/wedge/mod.rs blocks the shell ITSELF in a `read` on a FIFO it holds open for writing: `exec` and `read` are builtins, no data ever arrives, no writer ever closes, and the child is one process from its first line to its kill. 0 survivors in 400 probed group kills. Changed: tests/wedge/mod.rs (new); delivery_push_observed_pending.rs (2 wedges); delivery_push_production_child.rs (5); delivery_push_protocol_and_revocation.rs (4 wedges and 3 `sleep 5` tails); delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs (the deaf child, which forked once a second). Left as they are, on purpose: custody's descendant test and executor_platform's group-kill test, which fork in order to test the fork, and the cadence test's own `sleep 0.04` cycle, which is the behaviour under test. --- .../tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs | 8 ++- .../tests/delivery_push_production_child.rs | 17 ++++-- .../delivery_push_protocol_and_revocation.rs | 23 +++++--- .../tests/delivery_push_stalled_supervisor.rs | 5 +- crates/maxplayer-core/tests/wedge/mod.rs | 57 +++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/maxplayer-core/tests/wedge/mod.rs diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs index 3c9d6cb4..de2fc77a 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs @@ -18,6 +18,8 @@ //!

The executor acts at its next authority ask, which is 0–50 ms away, so on a host that hands the seat over in 35–65 ms this failed 22–46 % of runs: 350 runs at 5e61933b, idle 22/50, light CPU load 31/100, heavy CPU load 28/100, fork/exec storm 46/100, every failure this one assertion with 1–4 samples. The sampler now polls at 1 ms and asserts on every sample; the count is printed, not required. The first poll is taken microseconds after the child is asserted alive, and an exit is confirmed only by a reap that polls at 2 ms, so "observed pending while the child was alive" no longer depends on the executor being slow. `handover * 2 < remaining_at_abort` compared the HANDOVER to the deadline. The handover contains the executor's end-of-file window — up to REAP_BOUND on its own — which a stdout holder the group kill missed can fill. The recorded failure (handover 1.788 s, 19 samples, 2.78 s remaining) has that shape: the child was gone within the sampler's first ~100 ms, and the seat then waited for a pipe. See the wedge commit for the race and the numbers; this host did not reproduce the 1.788 s run itself (350 runs), so its attribution is by mechanism. The instant that separates abort cleanup from deadline cleanup is the KILL: deadline cleanup cannot issue one before the deadline. The test now passes its own authority closure — always yes, as production's PushAuthority is during an abort — and reads the kill from the last recorded ask, which is the ask whose turn check refused; the kill follows it on the same thread. Asserted, each against a bound the executor states: the refusing ask within CANCELLATION_POLL (+1 s for a blocking thread to be scheduled) of the abort AND within half of what the delivery still had; the child gone before the deadline and within REAP_BOUND of that ask; the handover within poll + 2 × REAP_BOUND (+2 s) and, because the fixture is one process whose stdout closes with it, before the deadline. Fail-closed facts kept as they were: the seat moves only after the child is gone, and after it was last seen alive. Measured at this head on the same host: idle 150/150, whole binary 40/40, fork/exec storm 100/100; refusing ask 0.3–59 ms after the abort, handover 5–64 ms. Negative control: with `Turn::check` ignoring `cancelled`, the test fails on "child still alive at the original deadline" in 3 of 3 runs, and passes again on restore. --- .../tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs | 168 +++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 122 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs index de2fc77a..9cd2cbdc 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs @@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex}; use std::time::{Duration, Instant}; use maxplayer_core::delivery_executor::{CANCELLATION_POLL, REAP_BOUND}; +use maxplayer_core::git_transport::AuthorityCheck; use maxplayer_core::seller_git::{neutralize_then_push_in_child_off_runtime, SellerGitError}; use maxplayer_core::seller_node::run::{serialized_bounded_push, DeliveryPushErr}; @@ -390,36 +391,68 @@ async fn wait_for_running_child(pidfile: &std::path::Path, bound: Duration) -> O /// killed and reaped promptly — the seat comes back in a fraction of the remaining budget rather /// than at the deadline.

The test's deadline is fixed at task start, before the child exists (the executor's arming contract), and its watch runs 1.2 s from the moment the child is seen running. Once the shell took more than 0.8 s to reach its first line, the watch outlived the deadline it was watching, the deadline's kill handed the seat on, and the sampler read that as an early handover. Why that shell was slow on an otherwise idle host (load 1.9) is not established; that it CAN be is: this branch measured fixture startups past 1.35 s under load and gave `delivery_push_production_child` its `CHILD_STARTUP` allowance for exactly this failure shape. The same fix, same constant. Both children in this file now get the allowance: `deadline = now + CHILD_STARTUP + budget`. The killed-and-reaped test states its bound against the DEADLINE — returned not before it, and within the executor's reap plus end-of-file windows after it — instead of against the budget, which silently included startup. The abort test keeps its discrimination against what was still left on the deadline; the allowance only means a slow shell cannot spend that remainder before the abort. The measured line reports the allowance and the time past the deadline. The killed-and-reaped test now runs for the allowance plus the budget, about 12 s.

Something outside the child's process group held the write end of its stdout for more than REAP_BOUND. That something is a sibling child of the same test process. Rust's std creates a child's stdio pipes with `pipe()` and then a separate `fcntl(FD_CLOEXEC)` on platforms without `pipe2` — macOS — and spawns with `posix_spawn` without `POSIX_SPAWN_CLOEXEC_DEFAULT` (library/std/src/sys/ process/unix/unix.rs, 1.94.1). Between the two calls the new pipe ends are inheritable, and a `posix_spawn` on another thread at that instant copies them into ITS child, where they survive the exec. Probed on this host with std alone: eight children spawned at the same instant hand one of them another's stdout in 23 of 200 rounds, the write end held for the sibling's whole life (0 of 200 without siblings). A test binary whose suites all spawn at startup is that burst; the wedged siblings live 10 s, so step 12's wait for end of file runs out at 5 s and the seat is retained for a child this process watched exit. Caught in the act, with `lsof` run at the moment the wait timed out (a temporary, env-gated diagnostic, not committed): in 2 of 42 runs the write end of the finishing child's stdout pipe was open as descriptor 64, then 67, of a SIBLING test's wedged child — `/bin/sh .../maxplayer-push-child-refuses-/child.sh __delivery-push`, the `refuses` fixture, spawned by another test at the same instant. Its own stdio is 0–2; a descriptor in the sixties is an inherited copy. The fix at the layer that owns the pipe: `KillableChild::spawn` holds a process-wide lock across `Command::spawn`, so no two of this executor's children are ever created concurrently and neither can inherit the other's pipe. That closes the case the gate hits — every child in these suites, and every delivery child in production, is spawned here. THE RESIDUAL, NAMED: any other spawn site in the process — a job's agent, `git`, `docker` — that runs concurrently with a delivery child's spawn can still inherit that child's stdout, and step 12 then waits for it and, past its bound, retains the seat for the life of the process. On the shipped darwin target that is a liveness hazard the executor's design did not account for: end of file on the pipe is evidence about the pipe's holders, and on macOS those can include processes unrelated to the delivery. Closing it needs either every spawn site to take this lock, or step 12 to stop treating an unrelated holder as evidence about the delivery (for example a process-group census after the reap). That is a design decision for the PR, recorded on [`SPAWN_LOCK`] rather than made here. Measured with the lock: delivery_push_production_child 80 of 80 whole-binary runs green, 0 `CleanupUnbounded`; without it, 1 in 37 and 1 in 8 gate runs. --- .../maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs | 36 +++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs index 06b843c6..2928c973 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/src/delivery_executor.rs @@ -757,6 +757,29 @@ impl CleanupSink { } } +/// Serializes every child spawn this executor performs, so that two of its spawns can never be in +/// flight at once. +/// +/// Rust's standard library creates a child's stdio pipes with `pipe()` followed by a separate +/// `fcntl(FD_CLOEXEC)` on platforms without `pipe2` — macOS among them — and spawns with +/// `posix_spawn` WITHOUT `POSIX_SPAWN_CLOEXEC_DEFAULT`.

First: the test observed the child alive, then constructed and polled the second delivery and demanded Pending. Between the observation and the poll, correct cleanup can kill, reap and release the seat, and the poll sees Ready although exclusion was right. The comment claimed a 2 ms reap poll guaranteed a live-child interval; `kill_and_reap` tries `wait` at once and can return without sleeping, and a scheduler gap suffices anyway. The sampling loop had the same gap between its `alive` check and its poll. The repair is synchronization, not a longer assumption. `seller_git` composes the gate as the delivery's authority first and the turn's lifetime second, so an authority ask that has not returned is an executor that cannot yet consult the turn or kill — its documented slow-owner case. The test's own authority closure (always yes, as PushAuthority is during an abort) is armed before the abort and HOLDS the executor's next ask open. While it is held the child is alive and cannot die, and every Pending the second delivery returns in that window is a fact about a live child: twenty polls, each preceded by a live check, none racing anything. Then the ask is released and the executor's own cleanup follows. The hold carries a safety bound so a failed assertion cannot park the executor's blocking thread for the runtime's life; a hold that ran out fails the test. Second: the ask timestamp was labelled THE KILL. It is the authority check; the signal is issued after the check returns and the turn refuses, under the child guard. Every interval is now named for what it observes: `armed_to_ask` is the poll cadence (< CANCELLATION_POLL + 1 s), `released_to_child_gone` is the child disappearing after the released check (< REAP_BOUND + 1 s), `released_to_handover` is the seat moving (< 2 × REAP_BOUND + 2 s, and under half of the remainder at release, the abort-versus-deadline discriminator). After the release no Pending is asserted; the ordering facts — the push body ran after the child was last seen alive, and the child is gone when it did — hold whatever the sampler's cadence. Measured at this head: armed_to_ask 4–14 ms, released_to_child_gone and released_to_handover about 5 ms, remaining at release about 12.6 s. Idle 100 of 100, fork storm 60 of 60, whole binary 15 of 15; one full workspace gate 1975 passed, 0 failed, 23 ignored. Negative control, the turn ignoring a dropped control: 2 of 2 runs fail on "child still alive at the ORIGINAL DEADLINE", and pass again on restore. --- .../tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs | 385 ++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 261 insertions(+), 124 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs index 6d5dc5b0..4dded2f2 100644 --- a/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs +++ b/crates/maxplayer-core/tests/delivery_push_observed_pending.rs @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; use std::pin::Pin; use std::task::Poll; use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU8, AtomicUsize, Ordering}; -use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex}; +use std::sync::{Arc, Condvar, Mutex}; use std::time::{Duration, Instant}; use maxplayer_core::delivery_executor::{CANCELLATION_POLL, REAP_BOUND}; @@ -404,6 +404,120 @@ async fn wait_for_running_child(pidfile: &std::path::Path, bound: Duration) -> O } } +/// Holds the executor inside this delivery's authority check, on the executor's own thread, until +/// the test lets it go. +/// +/// The composed gate in `seller_git` asks the delivery's authority FIRST and the turn's lifetime +/// SECOND, so an ask that has not returned is an executor that has not yet consulted the turn and +/// cannot yet kill.

First, the arm/abort order. `AskHold::enter` returns at once while unarmed, and the composed gate checks the authority before the turn. So an ask that had passed the unarmed branch and paused before the lifetime check could resume after arm-and-abort, see the cancellation, kill and reap — and no later ask would ever be held, so `wait_until_held` would time out although exclusion was correct. The order is now: arm, wait for the executor to be acknowledged inside the held ask while the first task is still live, THEN abort and join. Until the abort the turn is live, so an ask that slipped past the arming returns yes on both halves and changes nothing; after it, the executor is held where it cannot consult the turn until the release. The mandatory twenty Pending polls, the expiry check and the acknowledgement remain required. Second, the ordering claim. `acquired >= last_alive_at` followed from the sampler's own sequence — it read the child alive, then polled, and `acquired` was recorded inside that poll — so an early release that admitted the contender and reaped afterwards would have passed it. The witness now sits at the boundary that matters: the second delivery's push body checks for the aborted child at the instant it is given the seat, and records what it found. A seat released before the exit was confirmed finds the child there, alive or as a zombie nobody waited for, which `kill(pid, 0)` also reports. The sampler-based assertion is gone; the sampler still provides the timings, labelled as before. Negative controls at this head, each RED on the intended assertion and GREEN on restore: - the turn ignores a dropped control → "child still alive at the ORIGINAL DEADLINE": 2 of 2 runs red; - `kill_and_reap` issues the kill and returns without confirming the exit → the boundary witness: "entered its push body while the aborted delivery's child still existed": 2 of 2 runs red. Measured: idle 100 of 100, fork storm 60 of 60, whole binary 15 of 15; armed_to_ask 30–45 ms, released_to_child_gone and released_to_handover about 5 ms.
