[cr-test] api: render what callers see from the stored row for terminal sandboxes - #1483
When the control plane marks a sandbox failed (for example the lost-started reconciler) while its node's observed record still says started, ECW GET /sandboxes/{id} answered "state":"running", and ECW timeout and refresh passed their terminal check. ECW read the observed status before the stored lifecycle and reads any status it doesn't name as running. ECW list reads the stored lifecycle, so the two disagreed: a failed row was hidden from GET /v2/sandboxes but running in GET. ECW connect already refused such rows through a second check of the stored lifecycle (500 for failed or quarantined, 404 for stopped or deleted, 409 for cleanup_required). The tombstones deleted and cleanup_required read as running in ECW list and GET. Separately, native GET /v1/sandboxes/{id} and GET /v1/sandboxes answered 500 for a cleanup_required row.
ECW reads the stored row (SandboxStateInput::rendered_lifecycle).
The stored lifecycle decides terminal and at-rest rows: failed, quarantined, stopped, suspended, deleted, cleanup_required.
The observed status refines any other row only when the row's active node (Sandbox.active_node_id) published it.
ECW list, GET, connect (its retry check included), timeout and refresh treat both tombstones as not found.
Admin and native state are unchanged.
Native reads treat cleanup_required as deleted: GET answers 404, the list skips it before the page's lookahead, and :set_timeout answers 412 as it does deleted.
Grant renewal skips tombstones: ECW refresh and connect no longer upsert the federated service grant for a deleted or cleanup_required row (the same is_tombstone check as the ECW render), so both reach their 404. Before, they still wrote the grant row, and when the stored grant had expired and the offered one was older, refresh answered the retryable stale-renewal 503 instead of 404. Renewal on any other lifecycle is unchanged, including that 503.
Changed test expectations
Render table vs main: 194 existing rows change, all with a terminal or at-rest stored lifecycle: get 190, gate 156, pod 140, unreachable 106, wake 24, list 56 (tombstones), native 28 (cleanup_required, 500 → 404). No admin, deleting or live row changes. 63 new rows: observations from another node.
Connect route test: cleanup_required expects 404, not 409.
New connect-helper test: 404 for tombstones, 409 for stopping/deleting. No other test pinned the retry path's 409.
:set_timeout table: new cleanup_required row, 412.
Pagination test: an appended cleanup_required row is skipped.
New native test reads_answer_…: GET answers both tombstones alike, and the list answers 200 with neither.
New observed_on test: refines only when both nodes are present and match.
Validation
At this head, rebased onto main after #1426 split the render table into 24 snapshot shards and the connect table into rstest cases, plus the grant-renewal commit:
The shards' 651 rows are exactly the rows of this change's previous single snapshot.
fmt, workspace clippy -D warnings and ci/scripts/run-archcheck.sh are clean.
SPACE_CI_REQUIRE_TEST_DEPS=1 cargo nextest run --all-features -p pplx-space-api -p pplx-space-api-svc -p pplx-space-cluster-controller-server: 3795 passed, 1 skipped, Postgres running. Each of this PR's tests takes under 0.4 s (ci/scripts/check-test-durations.py passes).
With main's non-test code, all 24 shards fail (stored failed + observed started gives get=running gate=pass). The connect case answers cleanup_required 409, and the connect-helper, tombstone-read, pagination and :set_timeout tests fail too.
With the grant-renewal change reverted, grant_renewal_skips_tombstoned_sandboxes fails (connect on deleted writes the grant row) and refresh_of_a_tombstone_with_an_expired_grant_is_not_found fails (503, not 404).
On earlier revisions of this change, with the same non-test code:
On its first reviewed revision, the connect-helper, :set_timeout, pagination and list tests failed (409, 404, lookahead, 500), and the table failed on its 9 deleting rows. Reading an unplaced row's observation failed only the observed_on test.
Kind, fresh cluster (otel, 11.9 min), one ECW sandbox, row set by SQL:
failed with node started: ECW GET answered failed.
cleanup_required: ECW GET, ECW connect and native GET answered 404, native list answered 200 without the row (500 on the first reviewed revision), and :set_timeout answered 412.
deleting with node started: ECW GET answered running.
scripts/tests/smoke-kind-typed.sh all (admin token, cold receipts): ECW 91 and native 42 passed, 0 failed or inconclusive, 65.5 min, no reruns; console scenarios skipped (no Playwright).
Severity and risk
Severity: medium. ECW clients polled a dead sandbox as running and could refresh it or set its timeout; native GET and list returned 500 for a cleanup_required row.
Risk:
A live row ignores an observation from a node it left; a same-node re-placement stays indistinguishable, as on main.
Native :set_timeout reads the same gate after its own check: a suspended row whose node reports failed/stopped is no longer refused, and a cleanup_required row answers 412, as deleted does.
deleting is not in that set: ECW GET follows its active node's observation, as it followed the observation on main, and ECW list reads it as running.
ECW connect now records the rejections its first gate catches on the reconnect metric as TerminalLifecycle; on main its stored-lifecycle check refused them without recording, as the retry check still does.
A failed row whose VM still runs on its active node now reads failed in ECW GET, and ECW timeout and refresh answer 500 (connect already did). On Kubernetes the failed-sandbox cleanup (SPACE_FAILED_SANDBOX_CLEANUP_ENABLED, on by default) can repair such a row to started; that repair does not run on Direct.
A start of a stopped sandbox can leave the row stopped until its post-start stamp, and a start that fails after its node started the sandbox writes none. ECW GET answers 404 meanwhile; ECW list already hid the row and connect already answered 404 for it.
Rollback: revert; no migrations. Mixed versions: old replicas keep main's rendering; no stored state changes.
AI assistance: Claude Code drafted the code, tests and this description.
Why: Cleanup-required sandboxes now reject timeout changes and disappear from API reads. The tested read changes are bounded, but the timeout write-path change warrants explicit acceptance before merging.
Commit: e323ccd2cec9.
Walkthrough
Lifecycle rendering now uses observed status only when it belongs to the sandbox’s active node, subject to stored lifecycle precedence. E2B connect and refresh requests treat deleted and cleanup-required sandboxes as not found and do not persist offered grants for them. Public listing and lookup omit both tombstone lifecycles, and timeout updates reject cleanup-required sandboxes.
perplexityai/SPACE#1416 — It has a strong code-level connection through node-aware lifecycle rendering and tombstone handling in ECW and API routes.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e323c
Cleanup-required sandboxes now reject timeout changes and disappear from API reads. The tested read changes are bounded, but the timeout write-path change warrants explicit acceptance before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to e323c
The change gives stored terminal state precedence and avoids renewing grants for sandboxes already known to be deleted. No newly introduced security weakness was established in the reviewed paths. Public response behavior changes, while concurrent-deletion and existing-credential behavior retain limitations.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The affected grant-write path remains constrained by authenticated organization and federated-owner lookup. The storage sink additionally checks owner source, issuer, upstream organization and subject. Skipping tombstone renewal does not add a broader identity or tenant write path in the inspected callers.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The observed-only response constructor is not used by the inspected ECW list implementation. ECW lists use scoped stored rows and cached responses; observed-only entries are appended through a separate, explicitly enabled controller listing path.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Grant upserts remain transactional and reject stale replacements using producer issuance and expiry ordering. Lifecycle lookup and grant persistence remain separate, so deletion after a live-row fetch can still race with renewal. This window predates the PR. Existing unexpired grants are also retained and remain eligible for organization-scoped credential lookup without a lifecycle predicate.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — If the intended contract forbids renewal once tombstoning commits, serialize grant persistence with lifecycle transitions or use a lifecycle-qualified conditional write. Separately define whether tombstoning must revoke already-unexpired grants; the current change does not establish that stronger guarantee.

Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The pull request is an application bug fix under crates/. Its Validation section names regression tests and states that they fail without the fix and pass with it, including grant_renewal_skips_tombstoned_sandboxes, refresh_of_a_tombstone_with_an_expired_grant_is_not_found, the tombstone-read and pagination tests, the :set_timeout test, the connect helper, and all 24 render shards. The diff adds these tests and the observed_on regression test.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
The diff does not weaken a safeguard without justification. It adds tests and assertions for tombstones, grant renewal, pagination, timeout, and node matching. The connect expectation changes cleanup_required from 409 to 404, and the description gives that specific reason; the same diff adds coverage for 404 tombstones and 409 in-flight teardown states. Snapshot coverage retains all 588 existing cases and adds 63 other-node cases. No CI, lint, allowlist, baseline, skip, or test-exclusion setting changes.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
No prohibited public-safety content is introduced. The diff contains no private URLs, hostnames, tracker links, cloud IDs, ARNs, workstation paths, private keys, or real credentials. Its credential-like test fixtures are obviously fake. The description reports fixed API behavior and test validation, not raw production output or undisclosed security or incident details.
