fix(api): fail a pause of a suspended sandbox as a conflict - #1618
A Native :pause of a suspended sandbox now fails at once with conflict and the sandbox's state. Before, it retried for about 76 s and failed internal.
Pause needs the sandbox's resident runtime. For a suspended sandbox the controller found no pod and returned a retryable 503, so the operation driver retried 16 times and then recorded retry_attempts_exhausted. A stopped sandbox failed at once, but as failed_precondition, with the node's wording.
The Native lifecycle executor now refuses a pause before dispatching it when the sandbox's stored lifecycle is one no retry can pause: suspending, suspended, stopping, stopped, deleting, failed or quarantined. The match over the stored lifecycle is exhaustive, so a lifecycle added later has to be placed before it compiles. The operation fails with conflict. Its terminal_error carries the same sandbox_not_running details the command routes already return (sandbox_not_running_details):
reason: sandbox_not_running
state: the sandbox's lifecycle state
wake: the request that returns the sandbox to running — :wake, or :start for a stopped sandbox. Omitted for a deleting, failed or quarantined sandbox.
A running sandbox still pauses, and a paused one still completes as already done. A sandbox that is starting, restoring or resuming still reaches the node as before, and so does one that is checkpointing: a checkpoint is a live snapshot that returns the sandbox to the state it left, with its runtime, although its public state reads as suspending.
Validation
New Postgres-backed executor test pause_of_a_sandbox_without_a_runtime_fails_as_a_conflict covers suspended, stopped and failed sandboxes, and a checkpointing one, whose pause is queued for dispatch with no error.
Mutation checks:
Without the guard, the operation is requeued (Queued) instead of failing. That is the production retry loop.
Without the details, reason is missing.
With Checkpointing in the refused list, the checkpoint case fails as conflict with state=suspending and wake naming :wake.

At bd9c49b: cargo nextest run -p pplx-space-api --all-features (2594 passed, 0 failed); cargo clippy -p pplx-space-api --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings; cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked; and cargo fmt --check. All pass. The Kind rows above were measured before the checkpoint change, which affects only a pause during a checkpoint.
Severity and risk
Severity: low-medium. The caller waited about 76 s for an internal error that hid a plain state conflict.
Risk: a pause of a stopped sandbox changes from failed_precondition to conflict, and its terminal_error.message from the node's wording to the API's. A client that matched the old code for stopped sandboxes would need updating. No other surface changes: ECW pause maps to suspend, and the admin API does not go through this executor. Rolling back restores the old behavior.
AI assistance: Claude Code drafted the code, tests, and this description; the author reviewed them.
Why: Pausing a suspended or stopped sandbox now produces a different operation error. Clients that handle the previous error may need updating, so this API compatibility change warrants explicit acceptance before merge.
Commit: bd9c49be21be.
Walkthrough
Pause requests now fail with NotRunning when the sandbox is suspending, suspended, stopping, stopped, failed, deleting, or quarantined. The API maps this error to a conflict with sandbox-not-running details. Tests cover unplaced suspended, stopped, and failed sandboxes and confirm that their lifecycle state remains unchanged. They also verify that an unplaced checkpointing sandbox queues without a terminal error.
Merge Risk: High · up to bd9c4

Security architecture risk: Low · up to bd9c4
This is a narrow change to when pause operations fail and which error they report. Existing tenant checks remain in place, and rejected pauses do not change the sandbox. Remaining uncertainty concerns concurrent lifecycle changes and clients relying on previous error codes.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The changed behavior is bounded to an admitted pause operation and its organization-bound sandbox. The branch returns lifecycle details but grants no new runtime, credential or cross-tenant authority.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The public handler uses authenticated organization and user identities, admission checks sandbox organization ownership, and execution independently validates payload/target identity, operation kind and sandbox organization before the new guard. Operation reads remain organization-scoped. These controls are unchanged from the PR base.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Terminal failure persistence requires both the active claim token and Running state, clears the claim and atomically records the failure event. Repeated completion or a stale claimant cannot overwrite an operation that no longer satisfies those conditions. The driver also stops recording when claim renewal reports lost ownership.

Explanation
The Validation section names pause_of_a_sandbox_without_a_runtime_fails_as_a_conflict. It reports that the test fails without the guard and passes with the fix. The PR adds the test for suspended, stopped, and failed sandboxes.
Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title uses the conventional-commit form "fix(api): ...", which does not match the configured requirement of a lowercase area followed by a colon, or the area in square brackets, with no conventional-commit type. The area token "api" and the lowercase summary start are correct, and the summary accurately describes the main change: pause requests on suspended sandboxes now fail as a conflict. The only mismatch is the format of the prefix.
Resolution
Rewrite the prefix to match the required format. For example: "api: fail a pause of a suspended sandbox as a conflict" or "[api] fail a pause of a suspended sandbox as a conflict". Drop the "fix" type token.

A Native `:pause` of a suspended sandbox asked for its runtime, found no
pod, and got a retryable 503. The operation then retried 16 times over
about 76 seconds and failed `internal` with `retry_attempts_exhausted`.
A stopped sandbox failed at once, but as `failed_precondition`, with the
node's wording.
The lifecycle executor now refuses a pause before dispatching it when
the sandbox is suspending, suspended, stopping, stopped, failed,
deleting or deleted, since no retry can pause those. The operation fails
at once with `conflict` and a terminal error that carries the
`sandbox_not_running` details the command routes already return:
`reason`, `state`, and `wake` naming the request that returns the
sandbox to running (`:wake`, or `:start` for a stopped sandbox), when
one exists. Other states still reach the node as before.
The pause guard read the sandbox's public state, which reports a checkpoint
as suspending. A checkpoint is a live snapshot that returns the sandbox to
the state it left, with its runtime, and commands are admitted during one,
so a pause then was refused at once as a non-retryable conflict pointing at
`:wake`, although the same pause succeeds once the checkpoint ends.
The guard now matches the stored lifecycle exhaustively: suspending,
suspended, stopping, stopped, deleting, failed and quarantined are refused,
and every other lifecycle, a checkpoint included, reaches the node as
before. A lifecycle added later has to be placed here to compile.
