Summary

Bind each suspend to its artifact ID and immutable admission time in sandbox-manager SQLite. Node-manager validates and pins the existing staging path, then commits the existing receipt after successful capture and confirmed runtime stop. Both encrypted runtime implementations use the existing tracked node operation as their single capture owner. Receipt claims and outcome persistence run off the async workers; the owner explicitly settles pre-capture refusals before returning. Abandoned receipt values retain uncertainty and perform no filesystem work in Drop. Exclusive producer admission fences duplicate RPCs. Pre-capture refusal renames the intent to a durable refusal record; recovery can promptly roll back a live runtime. A producer that finishes with an error after capture starts records a durable FAILED outcome. Recovery immediately retains that attempt in quarantine, regardless of liveness; the marker does not authorize rollback, sealing, or deletion. Crash/abandonment with no outcome remains uncertain. Failure settlement cannot overwrite a committed receipt whose rename succeeded before a later error. This evidence belongs beside the existing capture bytes, so no additional table, protobuf field or RPC is needed.

Keep ambiguous captures suspending with their evidence and recover only the admitted artifact. Unresolved producer ownership escalates after twenty minutes from durable admission (the sixteen-minute capture wait plus four minutes of scheduling grace): each recovery pass emits an error identifying the attempt and elapsed age, and classification reports operator attention required. This does not change lifecycle state, release resources, or remove the row from reconciliation. A matching late receipt can still seal and publish automatically. Callers continue to observe an in-progress suspend; wake does not bypass ownership, and blocking retries retain their request deadline. Operators investigate the producer and retained files without deleting evidence or inferring that elapsed time proves capture stopped.

The separate six-hour total automatic-recovery grace covers late producer completion and transient seal failures, measured from the same immutable admission. Neither a receipt nor restart renews it; expiry retains evidence in quarantine for operator recovery. A future admission timestamp after a backward clock adjustment remains recoverable and emits an operator-attention diagnostic; clock skew never counts as expiry. A persistently incorrect clock requires operator correction rather than silently extending an unobserved wait. The legacy receipt-based seal window remains separately named. These are explicit availability defaults, not measured completion guarantees. Candidate metadata must match the admitted ID, sandbox ID and encryption mode before its files are accepted. A contradictory committed receipt blocks adoption even when complete sealed files exist. Publication validates sandbox identity before removing recovery evidence or renaming bytes; a different predecessor's retained-source check cannot stall the current attempt. The teardown stage writer also checks the admitted ID inside its existing transaction, reusing the existing reader without new SQL or schema.

Extend the existing staging reclaimer to retire unrelated attempts under lifecycle exclusion. Attempt identity survives deletion, eviction and cleanup ownership; only settled unowned states clear it.

Validation

Local regressions reproduced terminal producer errors leaving only an intent, refusal/failure evidence reaching sealing, mismatched receipt/sidecar identity being adopted, restore retirement entering the backup gate, and a handoff crossing its deadline remaining retryable. The focused sandbox-manager run passed 32 recovery/publication tests; its remaining deadline-crossing case reproduced the stale-age defect, which is now fixed. The real Linux capture-handler regression reproduced the missing FAILED marker before its fix. Formatting passes. Final producer settlement and deadline validation is pending in current-head CI.

Earlier full validation passed 1,834 sandbox-manager tests with nextest and 712 store tests, affected-package all-target Clippy, migration down/up/history and unknown-migration rejection, Linux targeted Clippy and architecture checks. One unchanged non-UTF-8 filename test is excluded on macOS; the privileged btrfs test was not run locally. Synthetic seal transport tests establish identity and file shape, not real encryption or restore integrity.

Severity and risk

High: a lost capture response can discard completion evidence or roll back a runtime that the producer subsequently stops. The additive migration must deploy with the worker services. Downgrade through the migration runner only after unresolved identities settle; old binaries reject unbundled migration history. A crash after stop but before durable receipt commitment still requires retained/operator recovery. Legacy encrypted suspending rows without identity quarantine at first recovery, including old in-flight suspends interrupted by this upgrade. Requests that never reach the producer, invalid staging identities, or failed refusal persistence remain uncertain until the fixed window expires. Monitoring stays armed through the final pre-submission owner check and disarmed after submission; only a proven refusal followed by rollback re-arms it. Unknown runtime liveness cannot authorize rollback or sealing, and a receipt/live-runtime contradiction emits a warning and recovery metric.

The removed failed_encrypted_capture_may_release_volume boolean helper encoded release based on liveness alone. The replacement rule never releases on an ambiguous capture failure: sealing requires the admitted committed receipt and a known-gone runtime. Existing transport tests uncommitted_encrypted_capture_record_is_never_sealed and both_seal_entry_points_reject_a_live_runtime_and_ignore_other_attempts assert no release RPC for unfinished, live or unknown cases. They verify the service boundary, not a real dm-crypt mount. Encrypted capture requests without valid staging now fail validation with InvalidArgument before capture, rather than reaching a later Unavailable path.

Rollout

Use a coordinated worker rollout. Before replacing the old sandbox-manager/node-manager pair, quiesce suspend admission from API traffic, automatic lifecycle and teardown/drain work, and let encrypted suspending operations finish on the old pair. Verify none remain before starting the new recovery process; a cordon alone does not stop all suspend producers. Hold the affected worker upgrade if an old operation remains unresolved rather than silently treating it as migrated. This PR does not provide a per-worker suspend-admission switch.

If an interrupted upgrade leaves a legacy row blocked, preserve its runtime, staging directories, receipts and encrypted volumes. An operator must establish the matching capture identity and runtime disposition, then validate seal/restore before releasing the retained copy. Do not infer the attempt from the newest directory, populate the new identity column speculatively, or use deletion as a compatibility repair. There is no automatic migration of ambiguous legacy captures; use a reviewed, per-row recovery procedure or retain the worker for investigation. Downgrade requires the migration-aware path above, not only replacing the binary.

Walkthrough

Suspend admission now persists an artifact ID and start time. Encrypted capture claims a staging receipt and records producer outcomes. Publication and recovery classify attempts using persisted identity, receipt contents, runtime observations, and artifact validation. Recovery preserves unresolved evidence and protects staging artifacts pinned by current attempts. Migration rollback checks for unresolved attempts before dropping the new columns.

Possibly related issues

• perplexityai/SPACE#875: The PR adds capture ownership and cancellation-phase tests. The issue’s work-scaled deadline requirement is not addressed in the supplied summaries.
• perplexityai/SPACE#876: The PR retains unresolved suspend evidence and adjusts erase-safety classification. The summaries do not show the requested delete and eviction guards.

Possibly related PRs

• perplexityai/SPACE#828: Both changes concern encrypted capture when its caller is canceled. This PR removes the detached capture unit and uses a different ownership flow.
• perplexityai/SPACE#1760: Both changes define encrypted capture behavior when its handler is dropped. This PR uses receipt settlement and removes the cancellation-token design described for that PR.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to a2341

Suspend recovery now binds each attempt to its artifact and a producer receipt, and most earlier recovery concerns are fixed. Two risks remain before merge. Encrypted suspends already in flight at upgrade are quarantined unless the documented rollout drains them first. A capture rejected before node-manager claims staging can leave a live sandbox stuck in suspending until the recovery window expires and it is quarantined.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to a2341

Recovery is more tightly bound to the admitted sandbox and capture attempt, and ambiguous outcomes preserve evidence rather than authorize destructive recovery. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns upgrade coordination and failure handling outside the inspected paths.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The inspected recovery decisions operate on one sandbox directory and its admitted artifact. Mismatched sandbox identity, artifact identity, or encryption mode cannot authorize adoption through these paths. This bounds the demonstrated recovery authority but does not establish the maximum scope of an authenticated caller, whose adapter was not inspected.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Request-supplied staging paths are checked against the sandbox and artifact named in the durable intent. Execution-fence, active-lease, and environment checks precede runtime capture. Claiming occurs before the execution check so pre-capture refusal can be settled durably; it does not grant permission to capture.
• observed — Recovery sealing requires a matching completion receipt, absence of refusal or failure evidence, and a confirmed-gone runtime. Publication validates sandbox identity and enforces artifact-ID equality before renaming staged bytes into the canonical snapshot.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Failure evidence blocks recovery regardless of runtime liveness. A matching refusal permits rollback only with a live runtime; a refused capture with a gone runtime remains blocked. Pending or unavailable evidence makes the inspected failed-publication caller preserve staging rather than infer safe cleanup.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "suspend: recover the admitted capture from a producer-owned receipt" follows the required format: a lowercase area prefix with a colon, then a summary starting with a lowercase word. No trailing period, ticket ID, or link is present. It matches the main change, which ties suspend recovery to artifact admission and producer-committed capture receipts (PR #1763 objectives and the raw summary's receipt, admission, and recovery changes).

Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template

Explanation

The PR description contains all four required items, each with real content. This check tests presence only, so the diff was not needed. 1. ## Summary: present. It states that the change binds each suspend to an artifact ID and admission time, pins the staging path, and commits the receipt after capture and confirmed runtime stop. 2. ## Validation: present. It lists the focused run (32 recovery/publication tests passed), earlier full runs (1,834 sandbox-manager tests and 712 store tests passed), and the Clippy, migration, and formatting checks. It also states that final producer settlement and deadline validation are pending in current-head CI. 3. ## Severity and risk: present. It gives "High" as the severity and describes the risks, including lost capture responses, the additive migration's deployment ordering, and the legacy rows that quarantine at first recovery. 4. AI assistance:: present as its own line. It reads "AI assistance: Codex drafted code, tests and this description." Primary PR: perplexityai/SPACE #1763, author zibi-pplx.

Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test

Explanation

The check applies. PR #1763 fixes defects in application behavior under crates/ (suspend recovery, capture receipts, staging cleanup, and publication in crates/l40_api/sbx/mgr/server and crates/l30_storage/sbx/mgr/store). The Validation section names regressions that failed before the fix and were then addressed: - "Local regressions reproduced terminal producer errors leaving only an intent, refusal/failure evidence reaching sealing, mismatched receipt/sidecar identity being adopted, restore retirement entering the backup gate, and a handoff crossing its deadline remaining retryable." - "The real Linux capture-handler regression reproduced the missing FAILED marker before its fix." - "its remaining deadline-crossing case reproduced the stale-age defect, which is now fixed." The diff contains matching regression tests, for example producer_outcomes_settle_without_waiting_for_the_uncertainty_window, newer_attempt_does_not_let_stale_intent_block_recovery_forever, legacy_capture_recovery_adopts_without_inventing_capture_order, and cloud_hypervisor_pre_capture_refusal_never_stops_the_runtime. Gaps: most regressions are described by behavior rather than by test identifier. The fail-then-pass evidence is stated in prose. The description also says final producer settlement and deadline validation is pending in current-head CI. The check accepts a named regression with before/after evidence, so this does not change the result.

Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified

Explanation

The diff removes or changes several tests and assertions. Each has a reason stated in the PR description, or a replacement in the same diff. No lint, allow/expect, ignore/skip, CI, nextest, allowlist, Cargo lints, or AGENTS/CONTRIBUTING rule changed. No changed file matches those categories. A grep of the diff found no added #[allow], #[expect], #[ignore], skip, xfail, or continue-on-error. Removed or changed test items and their justification: - snapshots/tests.rs (about lines 272-302): detached_capture_finishes_its_cleanup_after_the_caller_cancels is deleted. It tested run_detached, which the diff removes. The description states that the owner now settles the outcome, and the receipt is abandoned without filesystem work in Drop. Replacements are added in the same diff: abandoned_capture_handler_finishes_queued_running_and_stopping_attempts (checks stop retries, capture and drain counts, and receipt state after the handler is dropped) and cloud_hypervisor_pre_capture_refusal_never_stops_the_runtime. - snapshots/tests.rs: the expectation for "encrypted capture without a lease" changes from Unavailable to InvalidArgument. The description states that encrypted requests without valid staging now fail validation first. - grpc_lifecycle/tests.rs (failed_encrypted_capture_keeps_live_memory_base_mounted): removed with the failed_encrypted_capture_may_release_volume helper. The description explains that the helper released on liveness alone. Replacement: both_seal_entry_points_reject_a_live_runtime_and_ignore_other_attempts. - uncommitted_encrypted_capture_record_is_never_sealed: the assertion changes from Quarantined with SUSPEND_PUBLISH_FAILED_NO_ARTIFACT_RUNTIME_GONE to Suspending with no failure reason. The description states that ambiguous captures remain suspending with their evidence. Its staging.exists() assertion is kept. - Complete-capture recovery test: assert!(node_manager.calls().is_empty()) is replaced by a stronger assert_eq! that exactly one seal call occurs. - a_capture_recovery_adopts_after_a_crash... is renamed and rewritten for the legacy plaintext case. The description covers the legacy path and the new admission identity. - Many assert!(begin_suspend(...).unwrap()) calls only gain the new LocalArtifactId argument. Their assertions are unchanged. The remaining removed lines are doc comments, formatting, or the reclaim_garbage_now call wrapping. They do not remove a guard. Weak point: the deleted cancellation test does not name a specific replacement. Its reason comes from the removal of run_detached, and the replacement tests cover the same ownership-under-drop concern only in part.

Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands

Explanation

The check applies to agent plugin manifests (plugin.json, plugin.yaml), skill and command files (SKILL.md, command files), and guideline files (for example AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md). I listed the full changed-file inventory for refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head and filtered it for those names and for agent directories such as .claude/, .cursor/, and .codex/. No path matched. The changed files are Rust sources under crates/, SQL migrations under db/sandbox-manager/, and one new Rust module set (capture_receipt.rs and its tests). The diff therefore adds no hook, MCP server, LSP server, SKILL.md frontmatter key, inline shell substitution, or other agent-run command. The check passes.

Full details: Public-Safe Content

Explanation

The public-safe check passes. I scanned the 45 changed files in the reviewed range and the PR title and description for the prohibited categories. - Credentials, tokens, and private keys: no matches. The only "token-like" hits were test UUIDs (for example 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001) and a migration version number. - Internal hostnames and URLs: no http(s):// links, internal domains, or tracker links in added lines. The description references only sibling PRs #1762 and #1765. - Cloud account IDs and ARNs: no arn:aws strings or 12-digit account IDs. The 12-digit-style match was the migration version 20261112160000. - Personal workstation absolute paths: no /Users/ or /home/<name>/ paths in added lines. Repository-relative test paths and the JAIL_DIR format string are not personal paths. - Real cluster or environment names, raw production logs, or measurements: none found. The description gives policy defaults (20-minute escalation, six-hour grace) and says they are not measured guarantees. - Incident details or unfixed, undisclosed security vulnerabilities: the description covers reliability and recovery-correctness defects that this PR fixes. It does not describe an exploitable security issue. Nothing in the diff, title, or description triggers a failure condition.

[shehan-pplx]

Could we separate the ambiguous-capture deadline from the seal-retry budget, and justify the six-hour policy explicitly?

ENCRYPTED_SEAL_RETRY_WINDOW predates this patch, but suspend_attempt_retry_open() now measures it from immutable admission and applies it to missing/uncertain producer evidence as well as sealing. Consequently, an admitted attempt with no committed receipt can remain suspending for six hours, then require operator recovery. This is not a six-hour sleep or a capture timeout: the capture waiter is 960 seconds, and its expiry does not stop the producer.

The safety rule is correct: elapsed time must not authorize rollback, sealing, or deleting the only copy. The availability policy deserves a separate bound, though. Could we:

• define an earlier, observable escalation deadline for unresolved producer ownership, with an explicit retained/blocked outcome rather than six hours of opaque pending state;
• distinguish that from bounded seal retries once the matching committed receipt and a gone runtime are established;
• preserve the immutable clocks across restarts and cover missing receipt, late receipt, and restart-near-expiry in tests?

If six hours is intentionally required for both phases, please document the reason and the expected caller/operator behavior. Simply reducing the shared constant would also cut the recovery opportunity for a valid unsealed capture, so I would not treat that as the fix.

[zibi-pplx]

Adapted the policy clarification; an earlier terminal cutoff is deferred. The code now names the total admission-based recovery grace separately from the legacy receipt-based seal budget, and pending errors include elapsed age and the window so periodic recovery reports the wait. Both remain six hours by policy, not because capture is proven to require six hours. The 960-second waiter budget still does not cancel the producer.

The reason to retain the current grace is that periodic publication recovery selects unowned suspending rows, not quarantined rows. An earlier quarantine would stop automatic recovery of a matching late receipt. Without a measured completion distribution or a separate operator-escalation policy, reducing that grace can trade slow recovery for more operator-only recovery. No new earlier escalation deadline is introduced in this patch. This limitation and caller/operator behavior are explicit in the PR description.

Tests now cover missing evidence near expiry, matching late receipts, and reusing the same persisted admission at the exact expiry boundary. Receipt mtime does not renew the window. These are classifier/clock-boundary tests, not a process-restart integration test. Expiry retains the attempt and its evidence; it never authorizes rollback, sealing, or deleting the only copy.

[shehan-pplx]

Requesting changes on the unresolved six-hour availability policy discussed in the seal-window comment.

The latest clarification, separate constant names, elapsed-age reporting, and boundary tests are useful. However, the author response confirms that unresolved producer ownership still has no earlier escalation deadline; both policies remain six hours. Naming and documenting the wait does not resolve that concern.

Before merging, please add a bounded, observable escalation policy for ambiguous capture ownership that is distinct from the recovery budget for a confirmed capture. Preserve automatic recovery of a matching late receipt: earlier escalation need not mean immediate quarantine, and should not silently remove the attempt from reconciliation. Make caller/operator behavior explicit and test escalation followed by a late valid receipt, as well as persistence of the deadline across restart.

Elapsed time must never count as proof that the producer stopped, or authorize unsafe rollback, sealing, or deletion of retained evidence. I am not requesting a separate suspend-attempt table as a merge requirement; the two lifecycle-coupled identity/clock fields on the local SQLite row are reasonable for this patch.

validate_complete_suspend_snapshot_dir to compare the validated
SnapshotMeta.encrypted value with the sandbox row’s encryption mode before
accepting the artifact as StagedComplete or selecting its files. Add an
owning-layer regression test that rejects a plaintext artifact for an encrypted
sandbox, and ensure the positive encrypted case uses genuinely encrypted files.
- Around line 1267-1274: Update classify_suspend_attempt so legacy encrypted
suspends can complete only when a legacy committed record and runtime
observation together establish that the staged capture is usable; otherwise
preserve the blocked outcome. If that evidence cannot be established safely,
require rollout to drain encrypted suspending rows before recovery runs and
document the operator procedure for rows that remain blocked.

Addressed the ownership-escalation review. The earlier response conflated escalation with terminal quarantine; they are now separate policies.

Unresolved ownership escalates after 20 minutes from the persisted admission (16-minute capture wait plus four minutes of grace). Recovery emits an error with the attempt, age and threshold and classifies it as requiring operator attention. It keeps the row suspending, retains all evidence, and continues the existing periodic reconciliation. A matching receipt with a known-gone runtime transitions to ordinary seal recovery; the separate six-hour total grace is not renewed. An unreadable receipt is also escalated while retaining its diagnostic error. No age-based rollback, sealing or deletion is introduced.

Callers still see an in-progress suspend, with bounded blocking retries; escalation does not make wake safe. Operators should inspect producer/runtime/evidence while recovery continues. These timing defaults are policy choices, not measured completion guarantees. The revised tests exercise escalation, startup recovery without clock renewal, a late matching receipt, and eventual sealing/publication.

The PR description also answers the review's removed-safeguard check: the old failed_encrypted_capture_may_release_volume helper allowed liveness-only release. Ambiguous failures now retain the volume, and both seal entry points require exact committed evidence plus known-gone runtime. Existing transport regressions assert no release RPC for unfinished, live or unknown cases; they do not claim real mount integrity. The encrypted request's missing-staging InvalidArgument is documented too.

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Record pre-claim rejection before leaving an encrypted suspend pending.

If node-manager rejects validate_snapshot_volume, it returns before claiming the staging directory or writing a refusal. This error path preserves the staging directory and leaves the row suspending, although capture never started. The monitoring guard is disarmed. When the six-hour admission window expires, recovery blocks and quarantines the sandbox. Make this pre-capture rejection produce durable refusal evidence before returning; continue to preserve attempts whose producer status is unknown. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Add an owning-layer regression for the pre-claim rejection. As per coding guidelines, “For an application behavior bug identified by review, add a regression test at the owning layer when it can faithfully reproduce the issue.”
