Keep encrypted runtimes alive when capture waiters expire - #828
Keep encrypted runtimes alive when capture waiters expire
An encrypted CreateSnapshot can outlive its server deadline while sandbox-manager rolls back or recovers the interrupted suspend. Propagate the handler waiter's cancellation into the owned capture. Once the VM and device-stack locks are acquired, skip an abandoned queued capture before binding. A capture already in progress still finishes its bind cleanup, but does not begin stopping the runtime after its waiter disappears. Once a stop starts, its existing retries continue.
The mount/Firecracker I/O is extracted into a helper with a test-only substitute so tests can drop the real CreateSnapshot handler without touching host mounts or Firecracker sockets. The substitute is absent from production builds. Existing RPCs, storage and publication ordering are preserved. Timeouts after stopping starts and node process death remain outside this fix.
Validation: the real-handler cancellation table covers a queued capture and a running capture. It fails without the pre-bind check and when the handler cancellation guard is moved into owned work. All 464 selected node-manager library tests pass; one unrelated Apple ARM environment-catalog assertion is excluded after its failure was previously confirmed on the unchanged baseline. Formatting, native all-target Clippy and aarch64-unknown-linux-musl all-target Clippy pass. No Firecracker/KVM test was run.

Retain suspend-quarantine files independently of failure text
Keep encrypted runtimes alive when capture waiters expire
Oct 22, 2026
Retained full-suspend artifacts may lack ordinary historical publisher authority. Add managing-admin approvals bound to the sealed manifest, capture-time evidence, uploader incarnation, and current sandbox state. Begin permits one active attempt; Ready validates logical and object evidence and consumes the approval atomically. Expiry, revocation, supersession, or changed state refuses Ready while preserving failure reporting. Grant-backed attempts never become ordinary retry authority. Explicit approval takes precedence over an older failed registration; that registration cannot bypass the approval after consumption.
Issuance defaults off until all backup readers and workers enforce this contract. Approvals do not seal captures, enqueue uploads, clear quarantine, or wake sandboxes. Preserve original retained bytes and the audit schema; grant-aware readers are the rollback floor after issuance. Existing capture and cleanup owners remain responsible for source retention.
Validation: all 389 internal API nextest tests and all 228 admin tests pass. Real TokenReview/live-pod/RPC/PostgreSQL cases exercise approval consumption, expiry, revoke, proof mismatch, changed state, abandoned versus materialized successors, replay, and Ready/revoke concurrency. Compressed-versus-logical size regression reproduced before correction. Admin authorization and rollout gate tests and the refreshed OpenAPI snapshot pass. Full workspace all-target/all-feature Clippy passed. Fresh and upgrade PostgreSQL schemas match; Squawk found no issues in all seven migrations. Both compositions with the capture/cleanup work (#828+#829 and #837+#829) passed aarch64 Linux musl lint and all 98 selected snapshot/teardown tests each. Linux/KVM live recovery remains unvalidated. Documentation classification and six site build tests passed. Public diff review and Gitleaks scan passed.

Encrypted snapshot capture now receives a cancellation token tied to its RPC waiter. If the waiter disappears before file writing begins, the capture is skipped. If it disappears before runtime stop, the stop is skipped. File writing uses an extracted helper that supports a test callback. New tests cover cancellation while capture is running and while it is queued behind a VM cgroup launch lock.
perplexityai/SPACE#1760 — The PR summary describes the same encrypted-capture cancellation behavior and file-writing helper.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 401e2
This change keeps encrypted Firecracker runtimes alive when a snapshot request's waiter expires. The same protection is missing for encrypted Cloud Hypervisor snapshots. An abandoned or timed-out request there can still capture and stop the runtime. Pass the waiter's cancellation token through the Cloud Hypervisor path, or explicitly accept the gap, before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 401e2
The inspected changes preserve execution fencing and cleanup ownership while preventing abandoned captures from unnecessarily stopping a runtime. No introduced security issue was established. Recovery compatibility has supporting source evidence, but interrupted capture and recovery have not been validated end to end with real host mounts and virtual machines.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The changed cancellation decision operates on the validated sandbox's capture, bind path and runtime-stop sequence. The inspected change does not add a cross-sandbox selector or broaden caller authority; its direct lifecycle effect is retaining that runtime when the waiter disappears before stop begins.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The extracted production write path retains the existing pinned-volume and pinned-jail bind helper. Cleanup continues to use the existing unmount primitive, which rejects symlinked parent or final entries and pins the parent directory on Linux. The full-base comparison shows no change to that cleanup primitive.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Waiter cancellation signals abandonment without aborting already-owned capture work. This preserves exclusion during active writes and cleanup rather than allowing a retry to overlap them. The change does not make an already-started stop sequence cancellable or solve node-process death during capture.

Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The check applies. PR #828 fixes a defect in application behavior under crates/ (encrypted CreateSnapshot runtimes stopped or abandoned after the handler waiter expires). The Validation section names a regression test that fails without the fix: "the real-handler cancellation table covers a queued capture and a running capture. It fails without the pre-bind check and when the handler cancellation guard is moved into owned work." The diff confirms the test exists in crates/l40_api/node/mgr/server/src/service/snapshots/tests.rs as dropping_snapshot_handler_skips_queued_capture_and_preserves_running_vm (#[tokio::test]). The description names the table rather than the function, but the claim that it fails without the fix is explicit and matches the added test.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
The check fails only for the listed weakenings: new suppressions in non-test Rust, skipped or xfail tests, deleted or loosened assertions, allowlist or baseline entries, CI or lint changes, or edits to review guidance files. The reviewed range (5 modified files, all under crates/l40_api/node/mgr/server/src/service*) contains none of these. - Suppressions and skips: The added-line scan found no #[allow], #[expect], #[ignore], skip, xfail, or continue-on-error text. No config, CI, lint, allowlist, or guidance files changed. - Assertions in existing tests: The only removed lines in snapshots/tests.rs and snapshots/cloud_hypervisor.rs change the arguments of stop_runtime_for_encrypted_seal, which now takes a CancellationToken. The unwrap_err() assertion stays in place. - Production removals: The removed lines in snapshots.rs are a move of the bind, Firecracker snapshot, and unmount logic into write_encrypted_snapshot_files. The "ALWAYS unmount" comment and the create_result handling are still present in the new helper (lines 709–738). - Test-only hook:EncryptedCaptureIo and its uses are gated by #[cfg(test)]. This is a new test seam, not a weakened guard. - New test:dropping_snapshot_handler_skips_queued_capture_and_preserves_running_vm adds coverage with assertions on capture and stop counts.
Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
Explanation
The check covers agent plugin manifests (plugin.json, plugin.yaml), SKILL.md files, command files, and guideline files. The reviewed range changes five files, all Rust sources under crates/l40_api/node/mgr/server/src/service/ (service.rs, snapshots.rs, snapshots/cloud_hypervisor.rs, snapshots/tests.rs, service/tests.rs). None of them is an agent tooling file. A filename scan for manifests, skills, commands, agent guideline files, hooks, MCP, and LSP paths returned no matches. A content scan of added lines found no inline shell substitution (!...), no SKILL.md frontmatter keys, and no hooks, MCP, or LSP entries. The check does not apply to this diff, so it passes. The Rust Command::new search also returned no added lines, so no new process launch appears in the diff either.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The check looks for credentials, internal hostnames or URLs, cloud IDs or ARNs, cluster or environment names, personal absolute paths, raw production data, incident details, and undisclosed security vulnerabilities. I inspected the diff across all five changed files (service.rs, snapshots.rs, cloud_hypervisor.rs, snapshots/tests.rs, service/tests.rs). - Added lines contain no secret-like values (no keys, tokens, passwords, or private-key blocks). The only "token" matches are CancellationToken identifiers. - No URLs, internal hostnames, account IDs, or ARNs appear in added lines. - String literals are code paths, template placeholders, and error messages, such as "{JAIL_DIR}/firecracker/{sandbox_id}/root" and "snapshot waiter disappeared before capture; skipping queued capture". None is a personal workstation path. - The PR title and description describe a cancellation and lifecycle fix. They do not contain production logs, measurements, incident records, or links to private trackers. The description names no real cluster or environment. The described fix is not framed as an unfixed vulnerability. No content matches a failure condition, so the check passes.
Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template
Explanation
The PR description does not follow the required template. Checked against the four required items: 1. "## Summary" section: missing. The description has no "## Summary" heading. The first line is the title text, followed by body paragraphs. No section says what merging does under that heading. 2. "## Validation" section: missing. No "## Validation" heading exists. The body has a paragraph beginning "Validation:" that lists test results, Clippy, and formatting runs. The content is present, but the required section heading is not. 3. "## Severity and risk" section: missing. No heading exists. The description gives no severity (or "does not apply") and no risk statement. 4. "AI assistance:" line: present. The line reads "AI assistance: implemented and reviewed with Codex." This item passes. Items 1–3 fail. The check requires all four items. Presence alone decides this check, so no further code investigation applies.
Resolution
Edit the PR description to add these sections, each with real content: - ## Summary: state what merging the change does. For example: encrypted captures stop when the CreateSnapshot waiter expires, before runtime stop begins. - ## Validation: move the existing "Validation:" paragraph under this heading. Keep the test and Clippy results as written. - ## Severity and risk: state a severity (or "does not apply") and the main risk. Include the stated limits: no Firecracker/KVM test was run, and timeouts after stop starts remain out of scope. - AI assistance: keep the existing line as written.
Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title does not follow the required format. It lacks the lowercase area prefix followed by a colon or a bracketed area, such as "node-mgr: " or "[api] ". The summary itself is clear and matches the main change, which keeps encrypted runtimes alive when a snapshot capture waiter expires.
Resolution
Add a lowercase area prefix followed by a colon, or a bracketed area, before the summary. For example: "node-mgr: keep encrypted runtimes alive when capture waiters expire". The rest of the title already starts with a lowercase word and has no trailing period, ticket ID, or link.

Propagate waiter cancellation to encrypted Cloud Hypervisor capture.
If an encrypted Cloud Hypervisor request expires while queued behind the VM or device-stack lock, its owned work still captures and stops the runtime after the lock becomes available. This fresh token never observes the waiter disappearing. The same bypass applies when cancellation occurs during capture.
Pass caller_cancelled through capture_cloud_hypervisor_state. Reject an abandoned queued capture before workspace preparation, and use the real token before starting runtime stop. Preserve retries once stopping starts.

Closing as superseded by stack #1764: #1762 → #1763 → #1765. The replacement is still under review and has not landed.
This PR prevents an abandoned capture waiter from initiating runtime stop. The replacement instead gives admitted suspend work a system-owned lifetime: node-manager finishes capture and confirmed stop, commits the receipt itself, and sandbox-manager recovers the exact admitted attempt. Keeping this PR’s waiter-driven cancellation would prevent that completion and receipt publication, so the two policies should not merge together. The replacement also carries real-handler cancellation regression coverage.
