Add RUN_ENGINE_DEQUEUE_DISABLED_WORKER_QUEUES: a comma-separated list of worker queues (or base regions, which also cover the :scheduled split) for which the engine API refuses worker dequeue requests and returns no work, so those runs stay queued instead of being handed to workers that cannot run them. Unset means no gating. Blocked dequeues increment the run_engine.dequeue.blocked otel counter, tagged by worker_queue and region.
Server Changes
This directory tracks changes to server-only components (webapp, supervisor, coordinator, etc.) that are not captured by changesets. Changesets only track published npm packages — server changes would otherwise go undocumented.
When to add a file
Server-only PRs: If your PR only changes apps/webapp/, apps/supervisor/, apps/coordinator/, or other server components (and does NOT change anything in packages/), add a .server-changes/ file.
Mixed PRs (both packages and server): Just add a changeset as usual. No .server-changes/ file needed — the changeset covers it.
Package-only PRs: Just add a changeset as usual.
File format
Create a markdown file with a descriptive name:
.server-changes/fix-batch-queue-stalls.md
With this format:
---
area: webapp
type: fix
---
Speed up batch queue processing by removing stalls and fixing retry race
Fields
- area (required):
webapp|supervisor|coordinator|kubernetes-provider|docker-provider - type (required):
feature|fix|improvement|breaking
Description
The body text (below the frontmatter) is a one-line description of the change. Keep it concise — it will appear in release notes.
Writing guidance
These entries are public-facing - they ship verbatim in user-visible release notes. A few rules to keep them clean:
- One sentence is usually enough. The body is the bullet in the changelog. If you need a paragraph, you're probably describing the implementation rather than the change.
- Describe behavior, not implementation. Skip internal scopes, middleware names, library specifics, framework internals. Users care about what's different for them, not how it's wired.
- Never name internal tools or infra. Observability stacks, internal services, infra components, monitoring backends, CI surfaces, AWS specifics - none of these belong in user-facing notes.
Lifecycle
- Engineer adds a
.server-changes/file in their PR - Files accumulate on
mainas PRs merge - The changeset release PR includes these in its summary
- After the release merges, CI cleans up the consumed files
