[cr-test] api: render what callers see from the stored row for terminal sandboxes - #1546
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 accounts for whether an observed status came from the active node. ECW translation hides tombstones and classifies them as stopped. Public sandbox ID lookups exclude both deleted and cleanup_required lifecycles.
perplexityai/SPACE#1416 — This PR describes the same SandboxStateInput lifecycle handling and changes the same callers.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 7e288
This fixes ECW sandbox reads so that failed or tombstoned sandboxes no longer appear running, and so that cleanup-required sandboxes return not found. It is covered by tests and a cluster run. One known gap remains: the native sandbox list can still error if it encounters a cleanup-required row. Low risk to merge.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 7e288
The change reduces stale-node influence and prevents deleted resources from appearing usable. Existing access scoping remains in place. Remaining uncertainty concerns refresh behavior during deletion, not a demonstrated cross-tenant exposure.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated exposure is within existing authenticated sandbox reads and actions under their existing ownership scope. The inspected changes do not establish additional tenant reach or new caller privileges.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A deleting row with an observed failed or stopped status can newly pass the shared ECW gate because authoritative deleting falls through to Running. This is not sufficient to establish a teardown bypass: connect independently rejects deleting, timeout independently rejects it before policy persistence, and the effect of refresh’s downstream keepalive during deletion remains unresolved.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — For cached lifecycle rendering, the control-plane row now overrides terminal-state observations, and observations from a missing or different node cannot refine live state. Both stored tombstones are rejected by ECW translation before timeout or keepalive actions.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Timeout admission has a downstream consistency control independent of rendering: terminal lifecycles require the locked path and are rejected before policy persistence. Its documented execution-update path does not start a new activation.

Explanation
The PR fixes application behavior under crates/. Its Validation section states that the table tests and connect_route_never_bad_gateways_for_db_state_shapes fail on the unfixed main behavior, and that the native test fails before commit 1. The changed tests cover each_surface_renders_stored_lifecycle_and_observed_status, the connect response, and get_answers_a_cleanup_required_tombstone_as_deleted; the reported nextest run passes with the fix.

Explanation
No weakened safeguard is introduced. The diff adds 63 state-render snapshot cases and a new HTTP tombstone test. Existing snapshot cases remain present. The connect test changes one exact expected status from CONFLICT to NOT_FOUND, which matches the stated cleanup_required behavior and is not a loosened assertion. No tests, assertions, lints, CI checks, or repository guards are removed or disabled.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Exclude cleanup_required from native list candidates.
If a requested page contains a cleanup_required row, this predicate admits it. The page converter cannot parse that tombstone as SandboxLifecycle, so the native list returns 500 while the changed ById query returns 404. Exclude both tombstones in PAGE_CANDIDATE_ROWS, before page selection. The PR description also identifies the native-list 500 as out of scope. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
