spaced: wait for guest updates at bounded customer admission - #1742
Customer process, filesystem and forwarding calls wait while a manager-owned guest update holds admission. Waiting preserves the caller's deadline and does not replay requests. Cancellation, lifecycle capture, owner replacement and the fixed 210-second hold limit refuse before dispatch.
The existing request limiter bounds waiting calls. Metadata and maintenance RPCs have reserved capacity so queued customers cannot prevent the update from releasing its hold. Configuration-only holds retain their existing behavior.
The restore-visible backup handoff also retains the typed superseded-generation refusal if its background worker finishes before the submitting caller reads the job. It uses the existing verdict-only probe; other terminal failures remain failed.
Guest-bundle packaging uses the existing mirrored Python build image, avoiding an uncached Ubuntu package download during each worker build. Python remains in the build stage; the final worker uses the existing runtime-deps base.
Validation
51 host-server tests and 9 request-limiter tests passed. The added tests exercise timeout/cancellation/owner changes, all three customer dispatch families, and maintenance progress with a saturated customer bucket. Affected all-target/all-feature Clippy passed on macOS and aarch64 Linux musl.
a_worker_refusal_before_handoff_keeps_the_superseded_verdict failed before the handoff fix and passed afterward. All 58 selected retired-teardown/handoff tests pass, including the previously failing staged-capture registration test. Formatting and affected all-target/all-feature Clippy pass.
The production guest-bundle Docker target builds with --network=none using synthetic artifact binaries. Existing mirror-image tests pass. Actual binary packaging and runtime behavior remain covered by CI.
Severity and risk
Severity: Medium: customer requests can wait or be refused around maintenance/capture; the change fixes that boundary.
Default-on guest maintenance would otherwise turn idle restarts into customer-visible admission errors. Waiting trades those errors for bounded latency; shorter caller deadlines can still expire before execution. This does not replay commands or extend request deadlines. Roll back the host bridge binary to restore immediate refusal.
AI assistance: Codex drafted code, tests and this description.
The capture-before-arrival regression fails before the fix and passes after it. All 51 host tests pass. Maintenance and host waiting share an activation-budget constant; ordinary gRPC tracing includes wait time and pre-dispatch refusals. Tests use the production admission path.
Requests that actually wait emit maintenance_wait_ms in a debug event, including cancellation and refusal.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The host server now waits for admission on Process, Filesystem, and Networking requests during operation-owned guest updates. Waits use the caller deadline and the hold deadline. The dispatch guard remains active through response-body consumption. The limiter assigns separate Control limits to Meta and GuestUpdate methods. Tests cover admission outcomes, request limits, cancellation, and timeout forwarding. The manager uses the shared activation budget. Failed backup uploads can return a typed Begin error when registration was superseded. The guest-bundle stage now uses python:3.14-slim.

Merge Risk: High · up to cb621
Customer process, filesystem and forwarding calls now wait during a manager-owned guest update instead of being refused. This changes guest admission behavior on a core request path, so it needs careful review and validation on a cluster before merge. No specific defect was found.

observed — Modified behavior in crates/l10_foundation/grpc/rate/limiter/src/lib.rs: bucket_limits now applies the configured bucket-limit lookup and default fallback to both Health and Control; Business remains on the default-limits path.
observed — Modified behavior in crates/l40_api/spaced/host/server/src/authorization.rs: After authorization, call now forwards the request without admitting customer RPCs or returning an admission error. The response body no longer retains a dispatch guard via AdmittedBody; it is wrapped directly with Body::new. The customer-path checks, admission handling, and AdmittedBody implementation were removed.
observed — Modified behavior in crates/l40_api/spaced/host/server/src/lib.rs: Declared the private admission module.

The merge queue rejected this stack for two independent reasons:
The first queue entry hit a real teardown-handoff race: a background upload could refuse registration before its submitting caller read the job, losing the typed superseded-generation verdict. This PR now recovers that verdict with the existing verdict-only probe. Other terminal failures remain failed; no upload is revived.
The release queue entry failed locked Cargo checks. Main added node-status-store after the release bump was prepared, and the textual merge retained its 0.8.1 lockfile identity under the 0.8.2 workspace. The stack is rebased on current main, and the release PR records that crate at 0.8.2.
The new a_worker_refusal_before_handoff_keeps_the_superseded_verdict regression failed before the fix and passed afterward. All 58 selected teardown/handoff tests, affected all-target/all-feature Clippy, formatting, locked all-feature workspace metadata, and fuzz locked dependency resolution pass locally. All four updated heads are pushed; fresh CI is running.

The restore-visible backup handoff also preserves the typed superseded-generation verdict when the durable worker refuses registration before the submitting caller reads its job. Recover it using the existing verdict-only probe; an unrelated terminal failure remains failed, without resubmitting the upload. This closes a concurrency failure exposed by merge-queue testing.

Package guest bundles in the existing mirrored Python build image instead of downloading Python from Ubuntu during each worker build. The final worker still starts from runtime-deps; Python remains build-only. Kind smoke bring-up otherwise depends on an uncached apt step that failed DNS resolution across all shards. The production guest-bundle target builds successfully with --network=none and synthetic artifact binaries; the mirror configuration uses the existing Python entry.
The original merge-queue blockers are fixed: the updated first and release heads passed their full Rust test jobs, and the release head passed Pull CI. Fresh Kind runs then exposed a separate worker-image build dependency: all 42 shards failed bring-up while an uncached apt-get step could not resolve Ubuntu package hosts.
Guest-bundle packaging now starts from the Python image already declared in the CI mirror inventory. This removes that package-download step while keeping Python build-only and retaining the final worker runtime base. The production guest-bundle target builds with container networking disabled using synthetic artifact binaries; the existing mirror tests pass. The change is absorbed into this first PR so every stack prefix carries it. Fresh CI will validate real agent binaries.
