Cron jobs run through cron/scheduler.py's own ThreadPoolExecutor via a
standalone AIAgent (run_job/run_one_job), entirely outside
GatewayRunner._running_agents -- the dict _drain_active_agents() and
every other active-work check on that class reads. A gateway shutdown
(/update, /restart, and SIGUSR1 all funnel through the same stop())
could log active_at_start=0 and immediately kill tool subprocesses
while a cron job's terminal command was still running, with no wait
and no indication anything was interrupted.
Real-world impact (from the issue): a scheduled daily briefing cron
job was in flight during /update, its tool subprocess got killed
by the unconditional shutdown cleanup, and the job was never marked
failed -- it simply never completed or delivered, with no error
surfaced anywhere. A repro with a 30-minute `sleep` cron job in flight
during /update reproduced the same pattern: subprocess killed at
+0.22s of drain (active_at_start=0), the job's agent thread continued
in-process and produced a plausible-looking final response from the
truncated tool output, and the scheduler marked the run successful.
Root cause is layered, not a single line:
1. GatewayRunner._drain_active_agents() only waits on _running_agents.
Cron work was invisible to it, so drain returned instantly whenever
the only active work was a cron job.
2. Even with visibility, the shutdown's final tool-subprocess kill
(process_registry.kill_all()) is a global, unconditional sweep with
no per-job targeting -- a long-running cron job that outlives the
drain timeout still gets its subprocess killed.
3. cron/scheduler.py had no way to detect that a job's tool subprocess
was killed out from under it mid-run; the agent thread kept going
and its eventual (often degraded but plausible-looking) response
got reported as a normal successful completion.
Fix, three parts:
- cron/scheduler.py: expose get_running_job_ids() (thread-safe
snapshot of the existing _running_job_ids set, already used to
prevent double-dispatch) so the gateway can read cron's in-flight
state without reaching into private module internals.
- gateway/run.py: GatewayRunner._active_cron_job_count() reads that
snapshot. _drain_active_agents() now waits on
(_running_agents OR active cron jobs), so a cron-only workload gets
the same bounded wait chat sessions already get instead of an
instant active_at_start=0. Shutdown drain logging gains
cron_active_at_start/cron_active_now fields alongside the existing
ones (unchanged, for compat).
- cron/scheduler.py: mark_running_jobs_interrupted(reason), called by
gateway/run.py's _kill_tool_subprocesses() right after
process_registry.kill_all(), marks every job still in
_running_job_ids at that instant as failed/interrupted via the
existing mark_job_run() -- and records the job IDs in
_interrupted_job_ids BEFORE writing, so run_one_job()'s own
eventual completion for the same run (racing in its own thread)
checks that flag and skips its normal write instead of clobbering
the interrupted status with a false "ok" produced from the
now-truncated tool output. This does not attempt to correlate a
killed PID to a specific job ID (process_registry tracks PIDs, not
job IDs) -- any job still dispatched at the moment of a forced kill
is treated as interrupted, matching the existing coarser precedent
set by _interrupt_running_agents(), which interrupts every entry in
_running_agents on a drain timeout without per-agent correlation
either.
Deliberately out of scope (flagged in the issue as a separate,
lower-priority concern): startup-time reconciliation of cron runs that
started but never reached a terminal status.
Testing:
- tests/cron/test_shutdown_interrupt.py (12 tests): get_running_job_ids
snapshot semantics, mark_running_jobs_interrupted marking/no-op/
partial-failure behavior, and -- the core race guard -- run_one_job
skipping its own last_status write (both the success path and the
exception path) when the shutdown path already marked the run
interrupted, with a control test proving ordinary un-interrupted
completions are unaffected.
- tests/gateway/test_cron_active_work_drain.py (9 tests):
_active_cron_job_count reading cron state and failing closed (0) if
the cron module is unavailable; _drain_active_agents waiting for an
in-flight cron job the same way it waits for chat sessions, timing
out if the job outruns the window, and leaving existing chat-session
drain behavior unchanged; a full runner.stop() integration test
(drain-timeout path) proving mark_running_jobs_interrupted actually
fires with the right job ID when a tool subprocess is force-killed,
plus a no-op control when nothing cron-related is in flight.
- tests/gateway/test_shutdown_cache_cleanup.py: added
_active_cron_job_count() to that file's hand-rolled _FakeGateway test
double, which stop() now calls -- without it those 8 pre-existing
tests AttributeError (caught by fail-then-pass below, not a
production bug).
Fail-then-pass: reverted gateway/run.py + cron/scheduler.py, all 21
new tests fail (fixture/attribute errors -- the feature doesn't exist
yet); restored, all 21 pass.
Regression check: ran the full plausibly-affected surface --
tests/gateway/{test_gateway_shutdown,test_restart_drain,
test_restart_notification,test_restart_redelivery_dedup,
test_restart_resume_pending,test_restart_service_detection,
test_shutdown_cache_cleanup,test_stuck_loop,test_clean_shutdown_marker,
test_external_drain_control,test_session_state_cleanup,
test_update_command,test_update_streaming}.py plus tests/cron/ (944
tests) -- against a clean upstream/main checkout and against this
branch. Diffed the two FAILED lists: identical, 20 pre-existing
failures on both sides (Windows-locale/cp1252 file-encoding issues and
Unix-permission-bit assertions that don't apply on this Windows dev
box), zero new failures, zero fixed-by-accident. The 8
test_shutdown_cache_cleanup.py failures found mid-development were
from the _FakeGateway gap above, fixed in the same commit and
confirmed clean on the final rerun (diff against baseline: exit 0).
