⚒️ Publish Worker (v4) / build (supervisor) (push) Has been cancelled
feat(supervisor): verify warm-start delivery, cold-start silently lost dispatches (#3918)
### Problem

Firestarter's `didWarmStart: true` means the response was written to a
long-poll socket — not that the runner received it. A silently dead
poller (no FIN, e.g. a VM torn down mid-poll) leaves the dispatched run
stuck in `PENDING_EXECUTING` until the run engine's heartbeat redrive,
and each redrive burns a queue redelivery toward
`TASK_RUN_DEQUEUED_MAX_RETRIES`.

### Change

After a warm-start hit, the supervisor retains the `DequeuedMessage`
(TimerWheel, default 10s), then probes the existing `getLatestSnapshot`
API. If the run is still on the exact dequeued snapshot, no runner ever
acted — it falls through to the regular cold-create path. Recovery: ~10s
+ cold start, no new APIs, no CLI changes.

- **Double-start safe**: `startRunAttempt` runs under a per-run lock and
409s stale snapshot ids, so a reviving runner and the fallback workload
can't both execute; the loser exits before running anything.
- **Probe errors → do nothing**: healthy runners legitimately act late
during platform brownouts (nested attempt-start retries), so falling
back on uncertainty would stampede duplicates. The heartbeat redrive
stays as the backstop (also covers supervisor restarts dropping timers).
- **Off by default**: `TRIGGER_WARM_START_VERIFY_ENABLED` (+
`TRIGGER_WARM_START_VERIFY_DELAY_MS`, 1–60s, default 10s). Disabled =
complete no-op. Works for all workload managers (compute/k8s/docker)
since it hooks the shared dequeue path.
- Emits `warmstart.verify` wide events (`outcome: delivered | fallback |
probe_error`), making the silent-loss rate directly measurable.

Supervisor

Dev setup

  1. Create a worker group
api_url=http://localhost:3030
wg_name=my-worker

# edit this
admin_pat=tr_pat_...

curl -sS \
    -X POST \
    "$api_url/admin/api/v1/workers" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $admin_pat" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"name\": \"$wg_name\"}"

If the worker group is newly created, the response will include a token field. If the group already exists, no token is returned.

  1. Create .env and set the worker token
cp .env.example .env

# Then edit your .env and set this to the token.plaintext value
TRIGGER_WORKER_TOKEN=tr_wgt_...
  1. Start the supervisor
pnpm dev
  1. Build CLI, then deploy a test project
pnpm exec trigger deploy --self-hosted

# The additional network flag is required on linux
pnpm exec trigger deploy --self-hosted --network host

Worker group management

Shared variables

api_url=http://localhost:3030
admin_pat=tr_pat_... # edit this
  • These are used by all commands

Create a worker group

wg_name=my-worker

curl -sS \
    -X POST \
    "$api_url/admin/api/v1/workers" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $admin_pat" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"name\": \"$wg_name\"}"
  • If the worker group already exists, no token will be returned

Set a worker group as default for a project

wg_name=my-worker
project_id=clsw6q8wz...

curl -sS \
    -X POST \
    "$api_url/admin/api/v1/workers" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $admin_pat" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"name\": \"$wg_name\", \"projectId\": \"$project_id\", \"makeDefaultForProject\": true}"
  • If the worker group doesn't exist, yet it will be created
  • If the worker group already exists, it will be attached to the project as default. No token will be returned.

Remove the default worker group from a project

project_id=clsw6q8wz...

curl -sS \
    -X POST \
    "$api_url/admin/api/v1/workers" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $admin_pat" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"projectId\": \"$project_id\", \"removeDefaultFromProject\": true}"
  • The project will then use the global default again
  • When removeDefaultFromProject: true no other actions will be performed
