Rebuilds #179 on top of the reconciler (#163). #179 was 13 commits behind and conflicted in 8 files because main moved cloud_provider_logic/* to reconciler/providers/*, replaced instance_manager.py with reconciler/provisioner.py, and rewrote _wait_for_healthy. Part of #179 had also already landed (#193's doctor fix; the _ready event and mark_failed on agent-load failure via #163), so this ports only what main still lacks.

What changes

Global controller

  • _wait_for_healthy stops as soon as a replica reports a terminal status (failed, stopped) instead of waiting out the timeout. Under the reconciler this matters: a container whose agent failed to import is replaced after the startup grace, and a long wait would lose the container holding the cause.
  • Before raising, it dumps the last 40 lines of each failed container's log between --- begin container log: / --- end container log: sentinels. After a terminal status only the replicas that reported one are dumped (the others were still starting, their logs hold nothing yet); after a timeout every replica still short is dumped. Each provider says which name docker logs takes (docker_container_name): the runtime id for local, the part before -- for EC2, over SSH with the configured user.
  • Readiness timeout is 120s (CONTROLLER_READY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS), enough for a heavy adapter import.
  • canyonos deploy (core) reports a readiness failure as one CRITICAL line and exits 1 instead of a raw traceback, so the CLI's root-cause line is the verdict.

Local controller

  • logger.exception in _load_agent: the traceback names the import that failed.
  • The proxy subprocess is killed when the agent cannot load, so the container actually exits.
  • mark_stopped clears _ready under the status lock, so a heartbeat that outlives the join cannot write healthy back after stop().
  • The init log line no longer says "reported healthy to Redis" when readiness was left to the launcher.

Providers / provisioner

  • Local bootstrap deletes the status key right before docker run (fail-closed). The key has no TTL and the endpoint is the container name, so a previous run's healthy would otherwise pass for the new container's.
  • Provisioner.remove_instance deletes the status key before destroying the runtime (best effort; on EC2 the host's Redis goes with the instance).

Workflow launcher

  • The watcher's deadline goes from 30s to 120s, matching the controller's. On main it silently stopped watching at 30s without marking anything, so a workflow whose API port opened later could never become healthy. If the port never opens it now marks the container failed rather than leaving the status unwritten; in the deploy flow the controller's own timeout usually fires first (the launcher's clock starts after the proxy is up), so this mostly closes the limbo for anything reading the status later.

CLI

  • PhaseTracker treats everything between the sentinels as data: a quoted traceback or ERROR: line does not trip the error path, and a quoted Global controller started is not the deploy's own up-marker. Sentinels match only at the start of a message; quoted lines are indented.
  • -v runs the same tracker and fails on a fatal line instead of waiting for the timeout, with a Deploy failed: <line> error. After the fatal line it keeps echoing until the container confirms the deploy has stopped, so the global controller can finish tearing its agents down (raising at once left agents, Redis and the workflow's port behind).
  • The quiet-mode buffer grows to 400 lines to hold several replicas' dumps.

Real deploys on Docker Desktop (arm64 Mac), core image built from this branch + #198, CANYONOS_ENV=development CANYONOS_CORE_IMAGE=<that image>:

  • Healthy (epigenomics, 10 replicas, no LLM): 10/10 ready, "Deploy is live", a request ran through all six stages to status: done.
  • Agent that cannot import (IndexAgent with import a_module_nobody_installed), quiet and -v: deploy failed in 23–25s instead of 120s; the IndexAgent block shows the ModuleNotFoundError traceback between the sentinels; Root Cause is the CRITICAL verdict, not a quoted line; teardown complete, no containers left, port 8080 free (this run is what found and fixed the -v teardown regression).
  • Workflow that never opens its port (2 replicas): failed at 121s via the controller's timeout with the Workflow's log dumped; -v variant confirmed the teardown fix (agents drained, Redis stopped, 0 leftovers).
  • Stale status key (Redis reused from a killed controller, healthy keys left with no instance records): the relaunched broken SplitAgent went failed at 17s with its traceback; the stale healthy did not pass for it.

Not part of this PR, found on the way: images default to linux/amd64 and run emulated on Apple Silicon (CANYONOS_DOCKER_PLATFORM is the override but the CLI does not forward it), which is slow enough that the LLM proxy's 10s startup bound trips under load; and a deploy over surviving Redis records keeps old containers running old images.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Controller readiness now reports terminal replica failures and includes container logs. Runtime status keys are cleared during launch and teardown. Deploy log handling distinguishes quoted container logs from deploy output, and readiness failures produce a critical CLI message and exit code 1.

Local controller shutdown clears readiness and records a stopped status. Runtime launch clears stale status keys before starting a container. Teardown deletes status keys before destroying runtimes. Tests cover these status changes and agent-load failure cleanup.

Readiness waits use a 120-second default and stop when a replica reports failed or stopped. The controller logs failing replicas’ container output. The generated workflow launcher marks readiness timeout as failed, and the CLI handles readiness errors with a critical log and exit code 1.
Deploy failure reporting and log tailing
packages/cli/canyonos/deploy.py, packages/cli/tests/test_deploy_progress.py
Deploy tailing suppresses error and readiness-marker handling inside quoted container-log blocks. Verbose tailing raises on fatal output, and quiet tailing retains up to 400 lines.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Only count terminal statuses on agents that are still short of healthy replicas.

pending holds every instance that is not healthy. That includes surplus replicas of agents that already have enough healthy replicas, and instances of agents that are not in expected. One such instance with status "failed" or "stopped" ends the wait at once.

After the break, failed holds every short agent with any pending instance. A short agent whose only replica still reports "starting" is then reported as failed. This happens before its timeout, and its container log is dumped as a failure.

Example: Alpha has 2 records with desired count 1. One is healthy and one is "failed". Beta's replica is still starting. The deploy fails with Beta 0/1 on the first poll.
