From bd751f6f99c979a873658ca32f2c5f3712e886de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 00:32:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?v0.41:=20Bug=202=20=E2=80=94=20lease-full=20byp?= =?UTF-8?q?ass=20that=20doesn't=20burn=20attempts?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The field-report dead-letter loop closed at the root. Pre-v0.41 the worker treated RateLeaseUnavailableError as a recoverable error AND incremented attempts_made. After 3 lease-full bounces the job hit max_attempts (default 3) and dead-lettered with message `rate lease "anthropic:messages" full (8/8)`. The operator who reported the bug submitted 100 jobs at --concurrency 10 with a default cap of 8; all 100 dead-lettered before the upstream had a chance to drain. Fix: MinionQueue.releaseLeaseFullJob(jobId, lockToken, errorText, backoffMs) Mirrors failJob() but skips the attempts_made increment. Same lock_token + status='active' idempotency guard as failJob; returns null on lock-token mismatch so racing stall sweeps / cancels still win. Worker catch block (src/core/minions/worker.ts:741-792) Detects `err instanceof RateLeaseUnavailableError` BEFORE the existing `isUnrecoverable || attemptsExhausted` gate. Routes through releaseLeaseFullJob with 1-3s jittered backoff. The handler comment at subagent.ts:425 ("treat as renewable error so the worker re-claims") is now actually true. src/core/minions/lease-pressure-audit.ts (NEW) Best-effort logLeasePressure() writes one row to migration v93's minion_lease_pressure_log per bounce. Denormalized context columns (queue_name, job_name, model, provider, root_owner_id) populated inline so post-prune forensic queries still see context (Eng D8 / codex pass-3 #7). Stderr-warn on write failure; never blocks the bypass path. Pinned by test/minions-lease-full-retry.test.ts (7 cases): - flips status to delayed without incrementing attempts_made - returns null on lock_token mismatch - 5 bounces leaves attempts_made=0; failJob comparison shows the asymmetry (failJob DOES bump) - logLeasePressure writes denormalized columns - countRecentLeasePressure for doctor + jobs stats consumers - audit row survives hard-delete via SET NULL FK - best-effort no-throw contract on write failure Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) --- src/core/minions/lease-pressure-audit.ts | 148 +++++++++++++++ src/core/minions/queue.ts | 45 +++++ src/core/minions/worker.ts | 53 ++++++ test/minions-lease-full-retry.test.ts | 227 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 473 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/core/minions/lease-pressure-audit.ts create mode 100644 test/minions-lease-full-retry.test.ts diff --git a/src/core/minions/lease-pressure-audit.ts b/src/core/minions/lease-pressure-audit.ts new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7a36a48b7 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/core/minions/lease-pressure-audit.ts @@ -0,0 +1,148 @@ +/** + * v0.41 Bug 2 + Eng D3+D8 — lease-pressure audit writer. + * + * Writes one row per `RateLeaseUnavailableError` bounce to the + * `minion_lease_pressure_log` table (migration v93).
