# [S] GitHub requests retry transient failures

## Goal

One 5xx response or dropped connection no longer fails a quest command or a
land step. `GitHub.request` (`src/cli/github.ts`) retries 5xx, 429 and
network errors with bounded backoff, then fails with the last error.

Bound retries by attempts or elapsed time.

bounded backoff does not bound the retry loop. The land callers construct GitHub without a deadline, and GitHub defaults deadline to Infinity; the current attempt limit applies only to rate-limit responses. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

If a 5xx or network failure persists, GitHub.request can keep the land step inside one request indefinitely. Define a maximum retry count or total retry deadline before returning the last error.

Review comment at @quest/m0/github-retry.md around lines 5 - 7:
Update GitHub.request so retries for 5xx responses and network errors are
bounded by a maximum attempt count or total retry deadline, including when
GitHub is constructed with its default infinite deadline. Preserve the existing
bounded backoff and return the last error when the retry limit is reached.

- A 502 while the fixer handed back
[moq-dev/moq#7323](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/7323) replaced the
crash reason; [moq-dev/quest#320](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/320)
kept the original error but left the retry for this quest.
- Retry only idempotent reads and writes whose repeat is safe (GET, PUT,
DELETE, label and auto-merge mutations that check state first). A POST that
creates a comment or a merge must not run twice; check the effect before
repeating it.

Define mutation retries around effect reconciliation.

An internal retry in GitHub.request can repeat a mutation before its caller checks the result. land-head.ts checks the comment marker once, then sends the POST. mergePinned sends PUT /merge and checks pull.merged only after github.request returns. A dropped response after the first operation can therefore create duplicate comments or repeat the merge before reconciliation. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Specify a caller-level retry loop for each mutation. Also change “a POST that creates ... a merge”; the merge endpoint uses PUT, not POST.

Update the retry guidance for GitHub.request to require caller-level retries for
mutations only after reconciling whether the effect already occurred; call out
comment creation and the PUT merge operation, and use mergePinned and
land-head.ts as the relevant examples.

Cover all secondary-rate-limit response shapes.

The plan names 429, but GitHub can report secondary limits as 403 or 429. GraphQL can also return HTTP 200 with a rate-limit error in body.errors; GitHub.request cannot classify that after the GraphQL body is parsed. (docs.github.com)

Specify the REST header/body rules and the GraphQL error-body rule so secondary limits do not still fail these paths.

Update the retry plan to cover secondary-rate-limit responses for both HTTP 403
and 429, including detection from the REST response headers/body and honoring
Retry-After when present. Also specify that GraphQL HTTP 200 responses must be
inspected for rate-limit errors in body.errors before classification, since
GitHub.request cannot recover that signal afterward.

# [M] A restarted land daemon keeps its in-flight check

## Goal

Restarting `quest land serve`, as every host deploy does, never discards a
running batch check. The new daemon picks up the check the old one started
and lands, ejects, or hands back from its result, so a deploy costs no
rerun of a 30-40 minute batch.

## Plan

Decided 2026-10-31 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from moq.pro's and rust2's cutover to the host gate and the fixer repairs [moq-dev/quest#320](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/320), [#325](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/325), [#327](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/327) and [#328](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/328)).

- On 2026-10-31 each of six deploys killed moq's and moq.pro's in-flight
checks: the check client is the daemon's child, and with
`KillMode=process` it still exits on its next write to the dead daemon's
pipe. No PR was ejected, but each batch reran from scratch.
- Fixers already survive this way: a detached supervisor records the job and
the next daemon collects it (`src/cli/land-fixer.ts`). Give a batch check
the same shape: a detached client that writes its log and exit status to
the state directory, and a daemon that resumes a recorded batch on start
instead of building a new one.

Define the durable in-flight batch record.

Persist the immutable plan before launching the detached check. It already includes the base SHA and each queued PR's head and enabledAt. Also persist the built chain identity and the checkout path, or explicit inputs that let recovery reconstruct them. On startup, recover this record before calling resolvePreparedQueue. Validate the current base and every tested entry against the recorded plan before applying any merge or ejection result. Otherwise, recovery can associate an exit status with a different queue and may not know which checkout to reuse or clean.

Make the collateral-ejection rule actionable.

serveBatch currently calls handbackRepeated for every ejected item, and handbackRepeated has no blame check. If the implementation only adds the blame result described above, collateral PRs can still be handed back as exhausted. Add a plan step that applies the repeated-attempt check only to the blamed PR. Define the no-blame case as well, because the plan ejects every PR when blame is unclear.

# [XS] The kix runner's conflicted-continuation test is fast under load

## Goal

`test/runner.test.ts` "pauses a large conflicted continuation with a bounded
question and intact checkout" passes on a loaded host well inside vitest's
5-second limit, without raising the limit.

## Plan

Decided 2026-10-31 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from moq.pro's and rust2's cutover to the host gate and the fixer repairs [moq-dev/quest#320](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/320), [#325](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/325), [#327](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/327) and [#328](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/328)).

- It hit the 5-second timeout in quest's own land gate on 2026-10-31 and
ejected [moq-dev/quest#320](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/320),
which does not touch the runner.
- Find which step is slow (a large fixture write, git calls, or a wait) and
remove the cost; never retry the test or tune the timeout until it passes.

# [S] quest land reports queue conflicts again when the queue changes

## Goal

A queued PR's conflict report stays current: when a PR ahead of it lands,
is requeued, or changes head, `quest land` checks it against the queue again
and updates its single report, saying when a conflict has cleared.

## Plan

Decided 2026-10-31 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from moq.pro's and rust2's cutover to the host gate and the fixer repairs [moq-dev/quest#320](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/320), [#325](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/325), [#327](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/327) and [#328](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/328)).

- Starts once [moq-dev/quest#322](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/322)
lands. It reports a newly queued PR's conflicts with the PRs ahead of it,
once per queueing, so a PR behind a requeued or changed one is never
checked again.
- Edit the earlier report rather than adding comments, so a busy queue does
not flood a PR.

Decide the hold-label set now, not after the pin check.

The Goal sets the completion criterion: only quest:active and quest:kix count as holds. Lines 17-18 instead leave open whether any other quest:* label counts. The plan should state the decided set, so completion has one acceptance criterion.

+- Keep only `quest:active` and `quest:kix` as holds. No other `quest:*` label counts.

Update the hold-label decision in the legacy-label plan to state that only
quest:active and quest:kix count as holds, and that no other quest:* label
counts; remove the open-ended wording so the completion criterion is
unambiguous.

Include the deployed host pin in the compatibility check.

The plan checks only each repository's flake.nix or mise.toml pin. The live host runs quest land serve and pins Quest at 49cd094. If that deployment remains before #326, the cleanup condition does not cover it. Add the host pin to the check, or document why the repository checks cover it.

Update the compatibility check in the plan to include the deployed host’s Quest
pin at 49cd094, or clarify how the existing repository pin checks cover that
deployment. Keep the check focused on confirming compatibility before cleanup.
