space_smoke: a stalled node-local Delete releases its dispatcher slot - #1732
Add a typed, Kind-only scenario proving that Kubernetes Delete releases its public-operation dispatcher slot independently of slow node cleanup. This PR is stacked on #1627, which requests nonblocking durable admission.
The scenario exercises two distinct cases using the cgroup v2 freezer:
Sandbox-manager frozen: admission is unavailable. Require at least two bounded requeues while the public API still returns the sandbox, then thaw and require eventual deletion.
Node-manager frozen: sandbox-manager can admit cleanup, but physical cleanup cannot finish. Require the delete operation to complete on its first attempt with a dispatcher-slot hold below 8 seconds, while node-manager remains frozen. After thaw, require the node-local row to disappear.
Slot hold is measured from public claimed to ending operation events. The fixture arms thaw before freeze, verifies the frozen service remains unresponsive for 10 seconds, and checks that the container was not restarted. The scenario is serialized against other worker-mutating tests.
The updated scenario ran in shard 7 and passed: admission unavailable produced two 4.0-second requeues while preserving the sandbox; admitted deletion completed on the first attempt with a hold rounding to 0.0 seconds at 0.1-second precision while node-manager stayed frozen for 10.5 seconds. The node row disappeared after thaw. Pod/container identity checks passed and fixture cleanup reported no failures.
No comparable load-test or production memory-pressure rerun.
Severity and risk
Severity: regression coverage for shared dispatcher starvation from slow deletion.
Risk: this deliberately freezes services only within the guarded, disposable Kind fixture. It must not target a shared or production cluster. Pod UID, container ID, and restart count checks make replacement fail the scenario rather than masquerade as recovery. Compensation targets only the originally captured container, so a replacement cannot be thawed accidentally.
Stack
Base and merge dependency: #1627. No dependency on the separate supervisor timeout in #1628.

Walkthrough
Node-local teardown now uses a bounded, nonblocking delete request and checks sandbox state when the reply is ambiguous. If admission is not confirmed, it returns NodeDeleteNotAdmitted; controller paths classify and retry that error. The change also adds Kind harness controls and assertions for freezing node services and checking delete operations. A smoke scenario tests deletion with sandbox-manager frozen before admission and node-manager frozen after admission.
Merge Risk: High · up to 0ad12
Create-failure rollback can hold the request open for up to 144 seconds when node delete admission keeps failing. After that, it can delete the sandbox row even though node-local cleanup was never admitted, which can leave an orphaned pod without a retry owner. Resolve both before merging, either by persisting a cleanup handoff or by keeping the row while admission is unconfirmed.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 0ad12
Normal deletion preserves recovery state when cleanup admission is uncertain. However, failed-create rollback can remove recovery metadata after admission retries expire, creating a material resource-containment risk. Independent recovery for that case remains unverified.
Retained concerns
Medium · reliability · inferred: Failed-create rollback can remove recovery metadata while node deletion remains explicitly unconfirmed. After its retry window, rollback logs the error but still deletes reconcile state and the sandbox row. The changed adapter preserves the pod and execution tracking on this outcome, unlike its former best-effort continuation. Without an established independent cleanup owner, this can leave retained backing resources outside the normal sandbox recovery path and weaken resource containment.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified risk concerns backing resources for a failed sandbox create, with potential cumulative worker-capacity impact if repeated. The inspected evidence does not establish cross-tenant access, privilege gain, or compromise of other sandboxes.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A failed create followed by node admission failure lasting beyond the rollback window reaches metadata deletion without confirmed teardown. This supports the cleanup-ownership concern, but attacker control over the failure conditions and recovery by independent collectors remain unverified; it is not a demonstrated authorization bypass.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Fault injection requires privileged harness access rather than a new tenant-facing mutation endpoint. It restricts components to two named services, validates captured container IDs as exact 64-character hexadecimal values, and checks pod/container identity before freezing.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The freeze fixture registers critical thaw compensation before mutation and captures the original container identity. Explicit thaw verifies identity around release, while compensation targets the captured container even if its pod was replaced. These controls contain ordinary test failures; recovery after abrupt harness termination was not established.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Retain a durable cleanup owner when failed-create admission retries expire, or establish an independent collector responsible for those resources before removing sandbox and reconcile metadata. Exercise exhaustion followed by recovery, not only recovery within the request-owned retry window.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title uses the area prefix "space_smoke:" followed by a lowercase summary, which matches the required format. It refers to the main change: a stalled node-local Delete releasing its dispatcher slot, which the new scenario and the teardown changes target. The title is specific and does not overstate the change.
Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template
Explanation
The PR description (PR #1732, author shehan-pplx) contains all four required items with real content: 1. Summary: A "## Summary" section states that the change adds a typed, Kind-only scenario. The scenario shows that Kubernetes Delete releases its dispatcher slot while node cleanup is slow. 2. Validation: A "## Validation" section names the pytest command and its result (683 passed, 1 skipped). It also cites the scenario inventory check and the Pull CI run at a specific commit (14 Kind shards passed). 3. Severity and risk: A "## Severity and risk" section gives a severity ("regression coverage for shared dispatcher starvation from slow deletion") and a risk (freezing services is limited to a guarded, disposable Kind fixture). 4. AI assistance: A line begins with "AI assistance:" and names the tool and its work ("Perplexity Computer updated the typed scenario and this description"). No required section is empty or contains only template comments. The check judges presence only, so the content quality of these sections does not affect the result.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
The check does not apply to any weakening in this diff. I checked the changed-file inventory and the patch text. - No guard or config files changed. The 21 changed paths include no CI workflows, ci/kind-pull-paths.txt, .config/nextest.toml, deny.toml, clippy.toml, .gitleaks.toml, Cargo.toml lint tables, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, .agents/, CONTRIBUTING.md, or docs/rust/. No review-guidance text was added or changed. - No suppressions or skips added. Added-line searches for allow(, expect(, skip, xfail, continue-on-error, SPACE_TEST_DEPS_OPTIONAL, #[ignore], and allowlist or baseline entries returned nothing relevant. The only expect( added is attempts.last().expect("initial attempt") in the new test file rollback_tests.rs. - No assertion removed. No removed line contains assert, #[test], #[tokio, #[ignore], #[cfg, pytest, should_panic, or fn test_. - Test expectation changes are replacements, not weakenings. In kubernetes/tests.rs (lines ~11465–11476), three classify_sandbox_delete_rpc_error assertions move from ContinueTeardown to ProbeAdmission. This matches the same-diff change to support.rs. In create_and_teardown.rs, the existing ? and assert_eq! checks remain. New cases add stricter checks, including !request.blocking, a wait-budget bound, and a NodeDeleteNotAdmitted outcome. - Production behavior changes are not guard weakening. Removed lines in teardown.rs, updates.rs, and lifecycle.rs change retry and teardown logic. None removes a lint, check, or test gate. Nothing in the diff removes or loosens a listed safeguard, so no items need listing.
Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
Explanation
The check applies to agent plugin manifests, skills, command files, and guideline files. The changed-file inventory (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head) has 21 entries, all Rust sources, Python sources under space_smoke/, and the generated scenario index space_smoke/scenarios/README.md. None of these is a plugin manifest (plugin.json/plugin.yaml), SKILL.md, command file, or agent guideline file (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and similar). A scan of the added diff lines found no inline shell substitution (!...), no allowed-tools or hooks: keys, and no MCP, LSP, or server-start entries. The added Python and Rust code is ordinary test and runtime code, which this check does not cover. No entry in the diff adds an agent-run command or a server launch, so the check passes.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The PR changes 21 files: Rust controller and substrate code, Python smoke-test harness, and a new Kind scenario. I scanned all added lines for the listed categories. - Credentials, tokens, keys: The only token-related added lines are "Authorization": "Bearer " + self._admin_token() and secrets.token_hex(8) for an idempotency key (space_smoke/adapters.py, new delete helper). These read a token at runtime and contain no secret values. _admin_token and its root@local / "password" fallback are existing code, not added by this PR. No private-key markers were found. - Internal hostnames, URLs, trackers: No added hostname, internal URL, or internal tracker link. The description links only to public github.com pull requests and Actions runs in the same public repository. The commit SHA is a public Git reference. - Cloud account IDs, ARNs, real cluster or environment names: None found. The scenario uses generic names such as local.stalled_node_delete_releases_its_dispatcher_slot, sandbox-manager, and node-manager. - Personal absolute paths: No /Users/ or /home/ paths in added lines. - Production logs or measurements, incidents, unfixed vulnerabilities: The description reports Kind CI shard timings (for example, two 4.0-second requeues and a 10.5-second freeze). These are CI test-run measurements, not production data. It states that no production memory-pressure rerun occurred. No incident details or vulnerability descriptions were found. No sensitive content was found, so the check passes.
Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The check applies. The PR changes application behavior under crates/. The diff modifies crates/l40_api/api/src/controllers/substrate/kubernetes/adapter/teardown.rs (node-local Delete is now nonblocking and bounded, with NodeDeleteNotAdmitted on unconfirmed admission), support.rs (ContinueTeardown replaced by ProbeAdmission), and the sandbox lifecycle and rollback paths. The title frames the change as a fix: "a stalled node-local Delete releases its dispatcher slot". The change therefore fixes a defect in behavior under crates/. The Validation section does not meet the check. It names: - the pytest suite (683 passed, 1 skipped); - a regenerated scenario inventory; - Pull CI at a commit (all 14 Kind shards passed); - the new smoke scenario, which passed in shard 7 with the fix. None of these states that a test fails without the fix. The only named test result is a pass with the fix. The Validation section also does not explain why a fail-before, pass-after test cannot be written, and it does not name an existing test that covers the behavior. The Rust tests added in the diff (create_and_teardown.rs, tests.rs, rollback_tests.rs) are not named in Validation, and no pre-fix result is reported for them. The smoke scenario may act as a regression test. The PR does not claim it fails on the base revision, so the check's fail-without-fix condition is not established.
Resolution
Update the Validation section to do one of the following: - Name a test that fails on the base revision and passes with this PR. Good candidates are the new classify_sandbox_delete_rpc_error expectations (ProbeAdmission for Aborted, NotFound, Internal), the teardown characterization tests for unconfirmed admission and lost replies, and rollback_node_delete in rollback_tests.rs. State the base-revision result for each. - Run the stalled-delete smoke scenario against the base revision and report that it fails there. Then report the pass with the fix. - Explain why a fail-before, pass-after test cannot be written for a given behavior, or name an existing test that already covers it.

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.

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.

Do not hold the create request open through the rollback retry window.
rollback_node_delete now retries NodeDeleteNotAdmitted for up to 144 seconds. rollback_created_sandbox awaits that retry loop inline. The create paths in queries.rs call this helper before they return an error. When admission keeps failing, the create request stays open for up to 144 seconds. The API handler convention sets a normal target of under ten seconds. For longer convergence, it requires persisting intent and enqueuing work instead of holding the request open.
If the caller future is dropped during a backoff sleep, for example on client disconnect, the cleanup after the retry loop does not run. The inspected code shows no detached task or persisted rollback intent that would finish it. The pre-existing single delete call had the same exposure. The retry loop extends that exposure considerably.
Record rollback intent durably before the first delete attempt. Return the create error promptly. Let an owned background worker retry the delete and finish the state and live-cap cleanup. If an existing reconciler or sweeper already owns this state, reuse it.

Keep the sandbox row until backing deletion is admitted or handed off.
When the delete admission stays unconfirmed for the full 144-second window, rollback_created_sandbox still deletes the creating row at line 1184. It deletes the row whatever the delete result is. The delete reports NodeDeleteNotAdmitted, and its message says the execution "keeps tracked for retry". After the row is gone, the orphaned-sandbox reconciler cannot find the pod. Its candidate query selects from sandbox rows, and the support comment ties pod cleanup to creating rows. The pod and the active execution then have no retry owner.
Either persist a cleanup handoff that survives the row deletion, or keep the row when the outcome is NodeDeleteNotAdmitted, so the reconciler can still find and retry it. A cleanup handoff needs a durable record that holds the sandbox identity and the pod or execution reference. The current code does not provide that record. This change needs a design decision before a patch can be written.

Summary
Add a typed, Kind-only scenario proving that Kubernetes Delete releases its public-operation dispatcher slot independently of slow node cleanup. This PR is stacked on #1627, which requests nonblocking durable admission.
The scenario exercises two distinct cases using the cgroup v2 freezer:
Slot hold is measured from public
claimedto ending operation events. The fixture arms thaw before freeze, verifies the frozen service remains unresponsive for 10 seconds, and checks that the container was not restarted. The scenario is serialized against other worker-mutating tests.Validation
uv run --frozen --python 3.11 -m pytest space_smoke/tests -q: 683 passed, 1 skipped.0ad12b98b46a2bd026e04bf633fb2ba972a30270: passed, including all 14 Kind shards.Severity and risk
Severity: regression coverage for shared dispatcher starvation from slow deletion.
Risk: this deliberately freezes services only within the guarded, disposable Kind fixture. It must not target a shared or production cluster. Pod UID, container ID, and restart count checks make replacement fail the scenario rather than masquerade as recovery. Compensation targets only the originally captured container, so a replacement cannot be thawed accidentally.
