[cr-test] api: render what callers see from the stored row for terminal sandboxes - #1537
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 connect went ahead. 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. The tombstones deleted and cleanup_required read as running on every ECW surface, list included. Separately, native GET /v1/sandboxes/{id} answered 500 for a cleanup_required row.
ECW reads the stored row (SandboxStateInput::rendered_lifecycle, routes/e2b/translate.rs).
The stored lifecycle decides every terminal and at-rest row: failed, quarantined, stopped, suspended, deleting, deleted, cleanup_required.
The observed status refines a live row only when it was published by the row's active node (Sandbox.active_node_id, already the direct route's node when there is one). The observed record has no execution generation to compare.
ECW reads both tombstones as deleted: hidden from list, 404 from GET and from the gate that connect, timeout and refresh share.
Admin lifecycle/status and native state are unchanged.
Native GET answers cleanup_required exactly as deleted. The by-id read excludes both, so the answer is deleted's on main: 404 {"code":"not_found","message":"sandbox not found","retryable":false,"details":[]}.
Changed test expectations
Render table, commit 1: 203 existing rows change, all with stored failed, quarantined, stopped, suspended, deleting, deleted, cleanup_required or padded Stopped/Suspended.
Their ECW get, gate, wake, pod and touch-recovery cells now equal the no-observation row.
ECW list changes only for the tombstones (running → hidden).
No admin or native cell, and no live-lifecycle row, changes.
Render table, commit 1: 63 new rows, observations started/paused/failed from a node other than the active one.
Render table, commit 2: the native cell of all 31 cleanup_required rows goes from 500 to 404.
connect_route_never_bad_gateways_for_db_state_shapes: the cleanup_required row expects 404, as deleted does, not 409.
New: get_answers_a_cleanup_required_tombstone_as_deleted compares the two tombstones' status and body through the /v1 router.
Validation
Both table tests and the connect test fail on main's code (stored failed + observed started: get=running gate=pass). The native test fails on commit 1 (500 vs 404).
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: 3475 passed, Postgres running. The only skip is an ignored benchmark.
Kind, fresh cluster from this head (SPACE_KIND_TELEMETRY_MODE=otel up.sh, 9.4 min). Created an ECW sandbox, then set its row to failed with SQL while its node still reported started:
ECW GET failed, list hid it, connect 500.
Set to cleanup_required: ECW GET and connect 404, native GET 404.
On main's API, rebuilt on the same cluster: ECW GET running for both, list running for cleanup_required, native GET 500.
SKIP_BOOTSTRAP=1 scripts/tests/smoke-kind-typed.sh all (admin token, SPACE_SMOKE_KIND_COLD_RECEIPTS): ECW 91 passed, native 42 passed, 0 failed or inconclusive, 66 min, no reruns. Console scenarios skipped without Playwright, as CI withholds them.
Severity and risk
Severity: medium. ECW clients polled and connected to a dead sandbox as running, and native GET returned 500.
Risk:
A live row no longer follows an observation from a node it has left.
Native :set_timeout reads the same gate after its own state check: a suspended row whose node still reports failed/stopped is no longer refused, and a cleanup_required row answers 404, not 500.
deleting keeps its stored ECW reading, running.
Rollback: revert either commit. There are no migrations.
Mixed versions: old and new replicas read the same rows. During a rollout, ECW GET for an affected row can differ by replica. No stored state changes.
Stack
Commit 1 is ac/lifecycle-ecw-render-from-row and can merge alone. Commit 2 builds on its render table.
Not covered
Native GET /v1/sandboxes (list) still answers 500 for any page holding a cleanup_required row (seen on Kind). It is left unchanged here.
AI assistance: Claude Code drafted the code, tests and this description.
Sandbox lifecycle rendering now uses the stored lifecycle and the observed node’s identity to decide when an observed status applies. E2B mappings treat tombstones as stopped or not found. Public sandbox lookup excludes both deleted and cleanup_required rows.
Possibly related issues
Issue 835: This change addresses the lifecycle misrendering for deleted and cleanup_required states. It does not address the reported pagination behavior.
Possibly related PRs
perplexityai/SPACE#1416: This PR has the same node-aware lifecycle rendering and tombstone handling changes.
Merge Risk: High · up to 1be34
Native GET now returns 404 for cleanup_required sandboxes. Confirm that this response change is acceptable under the API compatibility commitment before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 1be34
The change strengthens terminal-state handling while preserving existing tenant access boundaries and lifecycle ownership. Remaining uncertainty concerns observation freshness and concurrent deletion behavior, rather than a demonstrated new security bypass.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated exposure is lifecycle visibility and operation eligibility for sandboxes already reachable within the caller's existing organization or federated-subject scope. The reviewed changes do not establish cross-tenant reachability or new cleanup authority.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Stored terminal states and tombstones cannot be overridden by stale node status in the changed ECW renderer. Native ById filtering retains its sandbox-ID and organization-ID predicates while narrowing eligible lifecycles.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Although deleting renders as Running in the generic ECW mapping, connect separately rejects teardown states. Timeout rereads lifecycle under a row lock and rejects Deleting before persisting policy. Refresh can invoke the existing Access keepalive RPC; its downstream teardown-race behavior remains incompletely traced and is not treated as a verified deletion bypass.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — As a separate design improvement, bind lifecycle observations to execution identity as well as node identity before treating them as current. This addresses a pre-existing same-node freshness limitation, not a demonstrated vulnerability introduced by this PR.

The title uses the required "area: summary" form with a lowercase area (api) and a lowercase summary word. The "[cr-test]" prefix is a bracketed tag, not a ticket ID. The summary matches the main change: terminal sandbox rendering now uses the stored row lifecycle instead of the observed status.

Explanation
The pull request fixes application behavior under crates/. Its Validation section identifies the render-table tests and connect_route_never_bad_gateways_for_db_state_shapes as failing on main, and identifies the native tombstone test as failing before the second commit. It also reports 3,475 passing tests on the pull-request head. The changed test files contain these regression tests, including get_answers_a_cleanup_required_tombstone_as_deleted.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
No weakened safeguard was introduced. The diff changes expected snapshot values to match the new stored-lifecycle behavior, adds other-node cases, and changes the cleanup_required connect expectation from CONFLICT to NOT_FOUND. The description gives specific reasons for these changes and adds equivalent coverage, including the cleanup_required native GET comparison. No test, assertion, lint, CI step, allowlist, baseline, or repository guard was removed or disabled.

Explanation
No public-safety violation found. The diff contains only code and test fixtures; the test key is an obviously fake value. The title and description contain no credentials, private URLs or trackers, personal paths, cloud identifiers, or production logs. The reported Kind validation is test context, not a named private environment or production measurement.

Scope the tombstone comment to the ById lookup.
The Page query still admits cleanup_required rows, but that behavior predates this PR and list behavior is explicitly out of scope. The current comment applies to both arms and incorrectly promises that cleanup_required rows do not consume list-page lookahead.
