data plane: move a command session to open and closed with its process - #1594
A command session's public state now follows its process:
pending until an attach starts the command,
open while it runs,
closed once an event stream has delivered process_exited.
Before this change, data_plane_sessions.state was written as pending when the API created the session and changed only on revocation. A command that had run and exited still read pending from getSession and from a replayed createCommand.
What changes:
Bind sets open. The cluster API bind that records the process an attach started (BindDataPlaneSessionProcess) now also moves a pending session to open.
New RecordDataPlaneSessionProcessExited call. It moves a pending or open terminal or process session bound to the given process to closed. It leaves a revoked session, or one bound to another process, unchanged, and repeating it changes nothing.
Streams record the exit first. The SSE and WebSocket streams make the call after the process binding settles and before they send process_exited. A client that reads the session after the exit therefore sees closed. The call has its own 3 s deadline: one still unanswered then is logged and the stream sends process_exited anyway, so a slow cluster API holds the exit back at most that long rather than for its 30 s RPC timeout.
Edge identity allowed. The data-plane edge identity may make the call, as it may the other session calls (auth/k8s.rs).
Docs. The PublicCommand.state docs describe the progression, including the gap below.
The state only describes the session. Routing ignores it, and a reattach after the exit still reads process_exited. A command that exits while nothing is attached reads open until a reattach delivers the exit.
Validation
tests::data_plane_session_state_follows_its_process (internal-api, Postgres testcontainer) checks the sequence bind → open, a report about another process → still open, the exit → closed, then a repeated report and one for a revoked session → unchanged. Mutation checks:
Without the bind's CASE, it fails on "pending" != "open".
With the exit update made a no-op (SET state = state), it fails on "open" != "closed".
native::tests::process_exit_is_recorded_before_the_client_sees_it (data plane, fake cluster API and guest) checks that the exit is recorded for the bound process id by the time an SSE client reads process_exited, and again for a WebSocket reattach. Mutation checks:
With the SSE call removed, it fails with no recorded exit.
With the WebSocket call removed, it fails with one recorded exit instead of two.
native::tests::an_unanswered_exit_record_does_not_hold_back_the_exit has the fake cluster API take the exit record and never answer it, with the deadline shortened to 50 ms. Mutation check: with the deadline removed (record.await without the timeout), it fails because process_exited does not arrive within 5 s.
Rebased onto main at 2b10595: cargo nextest passes for pplx-space-public-api, pplx-space-data-plane-server, pplx-space-internal-api-server and pplx-space-rpc-auth (949 passed, Postgres). The Kind runs below predate the deadline and the rebase.
cargo test -p pplx-space-api --all-features --lib -- public_docs passes with no snapshot change.
cargo fmt --all --check passes. cargo clippy -D warnings passes on the five touched crates with --all-targets --all-features. cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked passes.
On Kind (current seed guest), raw HTTP:
Before: getSession read pending before the attach, pending after process_exited, and the createCommand replay also read pending.
After: pending before the attach, open while sleep 4 ran, then closed after the exit on both getSession and the createCommand replay.
Native typed Kind smoke (scripts/tests/smoke-kind-typed.sh native with SPACE_SMOKE_KIND_ADMIN_TOKEN_FILE set) on this head: 47 passed, 0 failed.
Severity and risk
Severity: low. The field is informational, but it misreported every attached command.
Risk:
Each process_exited now waits for one cluster API write, for at most 3 s. The process binding before it already waits on the same cluster API.
A failed write is logged and the stream continues.
Rollback is a revert. Rows already marked open/closed are valid values of the existing state CHECK, and older code never reads them.
Rollout
There is no migration. A data plane newer than the internal API gets Unimplemented (or PermissionDenied from the older identity allowlist). It logs that and streams as before, so the state stays pending until both are rolled.
Not covered
A command that exits with no stream attached stays open until something reattaches. Closing it without a reader would need the node to report exits, which this does not add.
Port, protocol and file-watch sessions keep pending, as before.
AI assistance: Claude Code drafted the code, tests, and this description; the author reviewed them.
The change adds a Cluster API RPC to record process exits and close eligible session records. Process binding now moves pending sessions to open. SSE and WebSocket streams report known process exits after settling pending bindings. The data-plane recording request has a configured three-second timeout. Tests cover state transitions, repeated reporting after reconnect, and exit delivery when recording times out.
Possibly related issues
Issue 616 asks what execution and outcome evidence SPACE exposes. This change adds session-state evidence for a bound process and its reported exit, but does not address output completeness or policy enforcement.
Merge Risk: High · up to 87e87
Command session states now follow process events, but a failed exit report can leave a session open. The change also expands RPC permissions; resolve exit-record recovery before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 87e87
The new lifecycle update is narrowly guarded against mismatched processes, expired sessions, and repeated reports. Failed updates can leave session state stale, but the inspected access checks remain independent of that state. Remaining coverage gaps limit confidence.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The new edge permission can mutate matching session-state rows across the authority already entrusted to that identity; the handler does not independently reauthorize an end user. The added operation is limited to conditional lifecycle closure and does not itself return credentials or grant command-execution authority.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — A WebSocket caller can select a session identifier, but attachment requires a token and authorized route resolution before the process bridge runs. The reported process identifier comes from route/backend events rather than a client control frame, and persistence additionally requires an exact stored process match.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Row-locked binding and atomic conditional closure constrain concurrent and repeated transitions. Binding preserves terminal states, and exit reports cannot reopen or overwrite revoked sessions. Interruption or timeout may leave informational state stale, while the inspected authorization controls remain separate.

Recover exit records that the Cluster API does not accept.
If this RPC times out or reaches an older Cluster API, record_session_process_exited logs the failure and returns. The SSE stream then sends process_exited. If the client does not reattach, the session remains open indefinitely. The PR description mentions the mixed-version failure, but a later upgrade alone does not retry the record. Add a retry or reconciliation path that does not hold back the exit frame. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

A command session's public `state` was written once, as `pending`, when
the API created it, and changed only on revocation. A command that had
run and exited still read `pending` from getSession and from a replayed
createCommand, although the session had long been attached.
The bind that records the process an attach started now also moves a
pending session to `open`. A new cluster API call,
RecordDataPlaneSessionProcessExited, moves a pending or open terminal or
process session bound to that process to `closed`; SSE and WebSocket
streams make it before they send `process_exited`, so a client that
reads the session after the exit sees `closed`. It leaves a revoked
session, or one bound to another process, unchanged, and repeating it
changes nothing. The data-plane identity may call it, as it may the
other session calls.
The state only describes the session: routing ignores it, and a reattach
after the exit still reads `process_exited`. A failed record, such as
one against a cluster API that predates the call, is logged and the
stream carries on; so is one still unanswered after 3 s, so a slow
cluster API holds `process_exited` back at most that long rather than
for its 30 s RPC timeout. A command that exits while nothing is attached reads
`open` until a reattach delivers the exit; the field's documentation
says so.

Describe exit observation, not exit delivery, as the close condition.
If the exit-record RPC succeeds and the client disconnects before process_exited is sent, the session becomes closed without delivering the event. A client relying on this contract could treat closed as evidence that it already received the exit result. Say that an attached stream can close the session when it observes the exit, before the client receives the frame. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
As per coding guidelines, “A test needs an independent oracle and a reachable production behavior”; this comment concerns the public contract, not a request for an implementation-shaped test.
