Kubernetes Delete teardown now sends DeleteSandbox(blocking = false) and continues after sandbox-manager acknowledges durable admission. It no longer waits for physical node cleanup before releasing its public-operation dispatcher slot. The existing node cleanup executor owns execution, retries, and restart recovery; this PR adds no queue or detached cleanup task.
Bound acknowledgment at 2 seconds. An ambiguous RPC failure or timeout gets a state probe bounded at 2 seconds.
Continue after a successful Delete response or a probe confirming the requested sandbox is deleting. A missing state row alone is not proof of admission because node-local files can outlive it.
On an unreachable worker or unconfirmed admission, preserve the pod and execution tracking and return retryable NodeDeleteNotAdmitted. Preserve explicit suspend-publication and retained-only-copy refusals.
Retry unconfirmed create-rollback admission over a 144-second elapsed-time window, with exponential backoff from 250 ms to 5 seconds. Immediate worker failures cannot burn through a fixed attempt count. No retry starts after the deadline; an already-started destructive teardown is not cancelled and keeps its substrate-specific bounds. The existing exhausted-rollback limitation below is not solved by this change.
The native public DELETE already queues a durable operation. This change shortens the internal dispatcher's occupancy, not that endpoint's existing asynchronous contract. A completed control-plane delete does not mean physical resources have already been reclaimed.
Validation
Latest rollback follow-up: the paused-clock regression fails with the fixed-attempt loop and passes with elapsed-time backoff. It covers a worker recovering after 20 seconds of immediate failures, a permanently unreachable worker, an explicit safety refusal, and an in-flight teardown that must not be cancelled.
Latest local validation: 17 rollback-filtered API tests, 26 create/teardown characterization tests, and the existing live-cap create-rollback test passed with required test dependencies; all-feature/all-target API Clippy, formatting, and diff checks passed. New Pull CI and Direct CI runs for this follow-up are pending.
Extended the existing adapter characterization matrix for an acknowledged nonblocking delete, failed admission, unreachable workers, and missing-row ambiguity. Existing rows cover lost replies with confirmed admission, timeouts, and both safety refusals.
Local adapter characterization tests: 26 passed. Local sandbox-manager cleanup-executor tests: 17 passed; core gRPC tests: 18 passed. These include nonblocking acknowledgment while dispatch is withheld, failed-admission rollback, cancellation independence, restart recovery, and rowless-disk refusal.
Updated typed Kind stall coverage is stacked in #1732. It now requires the admitted operation to complete on its first attempt with a slot hold below 8 seconds while node-manager remains frozen, rather than requiring the old 10-second wait. The admission-unavailable branch still requires bounded retries and preservation of the sandbox.
Pull CI before the rollback backoff follow-up: passed, including all 14 Kind shards, Rust tests, and lint. Both main Rust partitions passed (12,958 unprivileged tests and 78 privileged tests); each partition's reported skips belong to the other partition. The run includes the existing unpersisted-delete and cancelled-cleanup RPC regressions.
Stacked Kind stall scenario, shard 7: passed. Admission unavailable: two 4.0-second attempts requeued while the sandbox stayed running. Admission available: the first attempt completed with its hold rounding to 0.0 seconds at 0.1-second precision while node-manager stayed frozen for 10.2 seconds. Cleanup finished after thaw, with no container restart and no cleanup failures.
Severity: slow node cleanup can occupy shared public-operation dispatcher slots and delay unrelated operations.
Risk: unhealthy nodes now fail closed rather than treating ordinary RPC errors as permission to forget execution tracking. Operations can exhaust their retry budget and remain incomplete. Healthy acknowledgment still requires safety checks and durable storage; this is not a zero-latency guarantee. Revert this PR to roll back the API behavior.
Existing node-local concurrency limits remain: sandbox-manager has 16 shared cleanup execution permits and 4 blocking cleanup-I/O permits; node-manager's CleanupSandbox defaults to 8 active calls plus 24 waiters, configurable by environment. The 128 concurrent cleanup-admission RPC permits are not a durable-job backlog quota. Per-sandbox fencing and executor class fairness also remain.
Shorter dispatcher occupancy removes incidental backpressure from waiting for physical cleanup. More deletes can be admitted while previous cleanup is unfinished, and aggregate physical cleanup across nodes can exceed the dispatcher's execution concurrency even though node-local work remains bounded. This PR adds no persistent-backlog quota. Pending-job age, storage pressure, and physical resource reclamation must be checked under sustained delete churn; control-plane success is not a signal that RAM or disk is already available. These changes mitigate shared-dispatcher starvation, not the underlying host stall or memory pressure.
Stack
Merge this before #1732. #1628, the separate supervisor cgroup-termination allowance, is independent.
Not covered
Create rollback still drops its row after exhausting the admission retry window; a durable failed-create cleanup handoff is outside this PR.
The public operation's existing lifecycle restoration on an unconfirmed delete remains unchanged. Persistent loss of both Delete replies and state reads can leave stale control-plane state after the operation exhausts its retry budget.
This does not increase dispatcher concurrency, eliminate node cleanup backlogs, or recover a permanently unresponsive kernel task.
AI assistance: Perplexity Computer updated code, tests, and this description.
Why: Delete now returns once the node acknowledges the request instead of waiting for cleanup, and returns a retryable 503 when acknowledgement cannot be confirmed. Because this changes sandbox deletion and public error behavior, it needs careful owner sign-off. Create rollback can still lose cleanup tracking if the node stays unavailable for the whole retry window.
Commit: 5f64b7652284.
Walkthrough
Teardown now sends a nonblocking node-local delete and bounds its wait for admission. After an ambiguous reply, it probes sandbox-manager state. If admission is unconfirmed, teardown returns NodeDeleteNotAdmitted and preserves execution tracking. Lifecycle handling defers control-plane deletion for this error, and create rollback retries deletion for up to 144 seconds. Node-drain promotion maps the error to NodeApi.
Merge Risk: High · up to 5f64b
Delete now returns once the node acknowledges the request instead of waiting for cleanup, and returns a retryable 503 when acknowledgement cannot be confirmed. Because this changes sandbox deletion and public error behavior, it needs careful owner sign-off. Create rollback can still lose cleanup tracking if the node stays unavailable for the whole retry window.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 5f64b
Normal deletion can finish waiting once cleanup has been accepted, while uncertain outcomes preserve resources for retry. Failed-create rollback, however, still removes its records after acceptance remains unconfirmed. That creates an unresolved ownership risk for resources left running or awaiting cleanup.
Retained concerns
Medium · reliability · inferred: Create rollback can remove its failed-create row and reconcile references after NodeDeleteNotAdmitted retries expire, although teardown has deliberately preserved the pod and execution tracking. The unconditional record cleanup is pre-existing, but the new worker-unreachable outcome now reaches it without the pod-deletion attempt performed at base. The node executor supports recovery of admitted cleanup; a durable recovery owner for this unadmitted state was not established. Unmanaged resource retention is therefore an inferred failure-containment risk, not a verified authorization vulnerability.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified failure-containment concern begins with one failed-create sandbox and its backing execution. Repeated admission failures could accumulate retained resources, but aggregate capacity impact and independent orphan recovery were not established. The inspected changes do not demonstrate cross-tenant access or increased service privileges.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A failed create followed by persistently unconfirmed deletion can exhaust rollback retries, preserve the execution, and still remove the failed-create and reconcile records. This supports a cleanup-ownership concern. It does not establish that an unprivileged caller can force those conditions, bypass quotas, or access another tenant's resources.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The sandbox-manager Delete handler authorizes the peer using its existing operator/template-manager policy and parses one exact sandbox UUID before resolving the cleanup target. The new state probe accepts only the requested sandbox identifier in Deleting, rather than treating any returned state or an absent row as authority to continue.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Admission work transfers its cleanup fence and storage permit into a blocking task, which can finish after the RPC caller disappears and wakes the existing executor. Durable execution rechecks job eligibility using node-local state and generation information. These controls mitigate lost replies and interruption after admission, but do not establish recovery ownership when admission never occurred.

Explanation
The title "api: release delete dispatcher slots after durable node admission" follows the required format: a lowercase area prefix with a colon, then a lowercase summary word. It has no trailing period and no ticket ID. It matches the main change, which switches Kubernetes Delete teardown to a nonblocking node delete that continues after sbx-mgr acknowledges durable admission, so the public-operation dispatcher slot is released early.
Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template
Explanation
The PR description, supplied in full in the pr_description block, contains all four required items with real content. This check tests presence only, so no code evidence was needed. 1. "## Summary" section: Present. It states that Kubernetes Delete teardown now sends DeleteSandbox(blocking = false) and releases the dispatcher slot after durable admission. It also describes the 2-second bounds, the retryable NodeDeleteNotAdmitted behavior, and the rollback retry window. 2. "## Validation" section: Present. It lists the commands run and their results, including 26 adapter characterization tests, 17 cleanup-executor tests, 18 core gRPC tests, Clippy, fmt, and git diff --check. It also names the CI runs and their outcomes. 3. "## Severity and risk" section: Present. It gives a Severity: line (slow node cleanup can occupy shared dispatcher slots) and a Risk: line (fail-closed behavior, retry-budget exhaustion, and the revert path). 4. "AI assistance:" line: Present. It reads "AI assistance: Perplexity Computer updated code, tests, and this description." All four required items are present, so the check passes.
Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The check applies only when the PR fixes an application defect under crates/, shim/, or ui/. This PR changes Kubernetes Delete teardown under crates/l40_api/api/. It is framed as a fix for shared dispatcher starvation from slow node cleanup, so the check applies. The Validation section names a test that fails without the fix and passes with it. It says the "paused-clock regression fails with the fixed-attempt loop and passes with elapsed-time backoff." The raw summary places this test in crates/l40_api/api/src/controllers/sandbox/updates/rollback_tests.rs. The same section also names the adapter characterization tests (create_and_teardown.rs), which cover the new NodeDeleteNotAdmitted and nonblocking-delete paths. I did not run the tests. The check requires that the Validation section name such a test, and it does. The fail-without-fix claim is the author's report and was not independently re-run.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
The diff does not remove, disable, or weaken a test, assertion, lint, CI check, or repository guard. - No suppression attributes added. Searches of the full diff found no added #[allow], #[expect], #[ignore], #[should_panic], .skip, xfail, or continue-on-error. - No removed assertions or tests. No removed - line contains assert, #[test], or #[tokio::test]. - Changed expectation is replaced, not loosened. In kubernetes/tests.rs, the three classify_sandbox_delete_rpc_error assertions (Aborted, NotFound, Internal) now expect ProbeAdmission instead of ContinueTeardown. Each is still an exact assert_eq! on a single variant, so this follows the behavior change rather than weakening the check. - Characterization tests extended.adapter_characterization_tests/create_and_teardown.rs adds new cases and new assert! checks. Removed match-arm lines are refactored into combined arms, and RetireWorkerUnreachable remains covered. - No guidance or policy files changed. The changed-file list has no AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .agents/, docs/rust/, .github/workflows, ci/, deny.toml, nextest config, or allowlist or baseline files. Limit: I checked the adapter characterization test diff through its added lines and removed-line filter, not line by line.
Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
Explanation
The check applies to agent plugin manifests (plugin.json, plugin.yaml), SKILL.md files, skill and command files, and guideline files. The changed-file inventory for refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base...head lists 12 files, all Rust sources under crates/l40_api (API controllers, substrate adapter, budgets, sandbox lifecycle and updates, rollback tests, and one node_drain store file). None of them is an agent plugin manifest, skill, command, or guideline file. A filename search for plugin manifests, SKILL.md, skills/, commands/, .claude, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, MCP, LSP, hooks, .cursor, and guideline paths matched nothing. The PR adds no hooks, MCP or LSP servers, SKILL.md frontmatter keys, or inline shell substitutions. The check is therefore inapplicable, and it passes. The Rust code is not evaluated against this check.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The PR (perplexityai/SPACE #1627, author shehan-pplx) contains no content that the public-safe check forbids. - Diff scan: I scanned the full PR diff (788 lines) for home or Users absolute paths, private key blocks, AWS key IDs and ARNs, GitHub and Slack tokens, password, secret and token assignments, and internal or tracker hostnames. There were no matches. The diff adds no URLs. - Description links: The supplied description links only to the public repository: PR #1732, PR #1628 (by number), and GitHub Actions runs under perplexityai/SPACE. These are public-repo references, not private trackers or chats. - Synthetic timings: The Kind stall and fault-injection timings are labeled as synthetic fault-injection results, not production measurements. The description also says no production latency claim is made. - Prior failure: The previous FAIL named an AI-assistant session link in the final "AI assistance" paragraph and in an attribution footer. In the supplied description, that paragraph reads "AI assistance: Perplexity Computer updated code, tests, and this description." It contains no link. No attribution footer appears. The session link is therefore absent from the description I was given. Limitation: I checked the supplied description and diff, not the live PR page. If the live description still contains the session link, the earlier FAIL would apply again. Prior failure addressed: The prior FAIL cited a Perplexity Computer session link in the final 'AI assistance' paragraph and an attribution footer. The supplied PR description now reads 'AI assistance: Perplexity Computer updated code, tests, and this description.' with no URL and no footer. The diff scan found no URLs and no other sensitive content, so the cited link is no longer present.

Reviewed at b2851c1. Capping the wait is the right shape, but there are three correctness issues in what happens after the cap.
Cross-PR note: this path continues to the pod delete after the cap. Once the A0/A1 cancel-cleanup PRs land, I'll check that the two don't both issue the pod delete for the same retired execution without a precondition.
Your pushback is correct, and I withdraw the point. In run_cleanup_to_completion_using_admission, the job is persisted and committed in the storage closure before wait_cleanup_job, so dropping the RPC only drops the waiter. The recovery scan covers the window between admission and persist. The rewritten comment says this accurately.
Fixed. node_delete_admitted now requires positive evidence: every returned row is in deleting, or the row is gone. A probe error or timeout defers, and delete_admission_unconfirmed covers it.
Fixed. NodeDeleteNotAdmitted is its own variant. It defers the control plane, maps to a 503 with retry-after, and has its own miss reason, so it's bounded by the operation's retry budget. The create-rollback retry (12 attempts, at most about 12s each) keeps the pod tracked instead of dropping its row, and it isn't longer than the unbounded delete it replaces.
Clean.
Non-blocking: if all 12 rollback attempts are refused, the row is still dropped while the pod remains. If the retired-pod GC (#1631) doesn't cover a pod with no row, a counter on that warn would make the leak visible.

crates/l40_api/api/src/controllers/sandbox/lifecycle.rs:59-61 Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift
Do not restore an active lifecycle after node-delete admission is possible.
A timeout followed by a failed admission probe is currently reported as NodeDeleteNotAdmitted, and the delete error path restores the prior lifecycle. If sbx-mgr admitted the delete before the probe failed, its durable cleanup can remove the node-local sandbox while the API row becomes active again. Repeated retries can then exhaust the public operation budget, leaving users with a sandbox that is reported as active but cannot execute node-backed operations. Track the node delete as proven unadmitted versus admitted or unknown, and restore the prior lifecycle only for the proven-unadmitted case.

On the outside-diff finding about restoring the lifecycle after NodeDeleteNotAdmitted (lifecycle.rs:59-61): I tried leaving the row in deleting and reverted it. After that, the retry's begin_delete_against_active_fork reads deleting as the previous lifecycle. A later real refusal, such as a retained only copy, would then restore the row to deleting and strand it, and the user could no longer recover the filesystem. Restoring the prior lifecycle costs less. The restored window lasts only until the next retry, whose Delete finds the node row in deleting or gone and finishes the teardown. A row can stay active with no node sandbox behind it only when the node is admitted but then fails every Delete and every state read for the operation's full retry budget. The PR's Not covered section lists this.

A Delete teardown waits on the node's blocking sbx-mgr Delete with the generic
150s node RPC timeout, so a node slow to finish cgroup teardown holds a
public-operation dispatcher slot for the whole wait, even though an
UNAVAILABLE reply already lets the teardown delete the pod anyway.
Cap the wait at 10s. On expiry, ask sbx-mgr for the sandbox's state: a row in
deleting (or gone) passed the delete's admission refusals and sbx-mgr's
durable cleanup owns the rest, so the teardown continues. A row still outside
deleting has not been checked for a pending suspend or a retained only copy,
so the teardown defers and retries the delete instead of skipping them.

…on create rollback
A probe that fails or times out now defers too, since a node too backed up to
answer is the one whose refusals are most at risk. The deferral gets its own
NodeDeleteNotAdmitted error rather than SuspendInFlight, and the public
operation's retry budget bounds it. Create rollback, which drops the row that
tracks the pod, retries an unadmitted delete up to 12 times instead.

Summary
Kubernetes Delete teardown now sends
DeleteSandbox(blocking = false)and continues after sandbox-manager acknowledges durable admission. It no longer waits for physical node cleanup before releasing its public-operation dispatcher slot. The existing node cleanup executor owns execution, retries, and restart recovery; this PR adds no queue or detached cleanup task.deleting. A missing state row alone is not proof of admission because node-local files can outlive it.NodeDeleteNotAdmitted. Preserve explicit suspend-publication and retained-only-copy refusals.The native public DELETE already queues a durable operation. This change shortens the internal dispatcher's occupancy, not that endpoint's existing asynchronous contract. A completed control-plane delete does not mean physical resources have already been reclaimed.
Validation

Severity: slow node cleanup can occupy shared public-operation dispatcher slots and delay unrelated operations.
Risk: unhealthy nodes now fail closed rather than treating ordinary RPC errors as permission to forget execution tracking. Operations can exhaust their retry budget and remain incomplete. Healthy acknowledgment still requires safety checks and durable storage; this is not a zero-latency guarantee. Revert this PR to roll back the API behavior.
Existing node-local concurrency limits remain: sandbox-manager has 16 shared cleanup execution permits and 4 blocking cleanup-I/O permits; node-manager's
CleanupSandboxdefaults to 8 active calls plus 24 waiters, configurable by environment. The 128 concurrent cleanup-admission RPC permits are not a durable-job backlog quota. Per-sandbox fencing and executor class fairness also remain.Shorter dispatcher occupancy removes incidental backpressure from waiting for physical cleanup. More deletes can be admitted while previous cleanup is unfinished, and aggregate physical cleanup across nodes can exceed the dispatcher's execution concurrency even though node-local work remains bounded. This PR adds no persistent-backlog quota. Pending-job age, storage pressure, and physical resource reclamation must be checked under sustained delete churn; control-plane success is not a signal that RAM or disk is already available. These changes mitigate shared-dispatcher starvation, not the underlying host stall or memory pressure.
