Summary

batchTriggerAndWait could leave the parent run suspended forever. When the item stream that populates a batch failed to complete after many retries (for example under rate limiting, a request timeout, or a crashed request), the batch was left with no runs and the parent kept waiting on a waitpoint that nothing would ever complete.

Fix

The parent is blocked on the batch's waitpoint as soon as the batch is created, but the batch is only sealed once all its items finish streaming. There was no recovery path if streaming never reached the seal.

A seal-timeout reaper is now scheduled when the batch is created. If the batch is still unsealed after BATCH_SEAL_TIMEOUT_MS (default 30 minutes), it is marked aborted and the parent's waitpoint is completed with an error, so batchTriggerAndWait rejects in the parent instead of hanging. The reaper is idempotent and race-safe: if the stream seals the batch first, the reaper no-ops.

The default timeout is sized above the SDK's worst-case stream-retry budget (max attempts x server request timeout).

batchTriggerAndWait blocks the parent on a waitpoint as soon as the batch is
created, but the batch is only sealed once all its items finish streaming. If
the item stream fails completely (rate limit, request timeout, crash), the
batch stayed PENDING with no runs and the parent waited on its waitpoint
forever.

A seal-timeout reaper, scheduled when the batch is created, now aborts a batch
that is still unsealed after BATCH_SEAL_TIMEOUT_MS (default 30 minutes) and
completes the parent's waitpoint with an error so it resumes. The reaper is
idempotent and no-ops if the stream sealed the batch in the meantime.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

This change adds a seal-timeout reaper for batchTriggerAndWait to prevent batches from hanging indefinitely when Phase 2 item streaming never completes. A new BATCH_SEAL_TIMEOUT_MS environment variable (default 30 minutes) is added. During batch creation, scheduleExpireBatch is called to enqueue a delayed expireBatch worker job. The BatchSystem implements expireBatch with idempotent, race-safe logic: it transitions unsealed PENDING batches to ABORTED and resolves the associated waitpoint with an error, unblocking the parent run. Integration tests validate expiration behavior directly and via the scheduled worker, including edge cases like idempotency and batch-item completion races.

Don't abort a batch whose items were all processed (processingCompletedAt set)
before the seal landed; those runs resume the parent on their own.

Keep expireBatch idempotent: an already-aborted batch still resolves its parent
waitpoint, so a retry after a mid-run crash can't leave the parent blocked.

Treat ABORTED as terminal in tryCompleteBatch so a straggler run finalizing
can't flip the batch back to COMPLETED.

Abort the batch if scheduling the reaper fails, so a blocked parent is never
stranded with nothing to free it.

952-952: 🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Hard-coded delay could cause flakiness in CI.

The setTimeout(500) waits for the run to be enqueued before dequeueing. In slow CI environments or under load, 500ms might not be enough, causing intermittent failures.

Consider polling with vi.waitFor to check that the run is available for dequeue, or querying the queue length/state explicitly.


1032-1032: 🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Hard-coded delay could cause flakiness in CI.

The setTimeout(1500) waits for the debounced completion job to process. In slow CI environments, the worker might not pick up the job within 1500ms, or conversely, the job might complete much faster, making tests unnecessarily slow.

Consider using vi.waitFor to poll the batch state or worker queue depth, ensuring the job has been processed before asserting.

If the URL is credential-free per this project’s conventions, allow the logging.

Learning: When handling Prisma error P1001 ("Can't reach database server") in TypeScript, don’t assume a single error shape. Prisma can surface P1001 via two different error classes/fields: `PrismaClientKnownRequestError` exposes it as `err.code === "P1001"` (common during mid-query connection drops), while `PrismaClientInitializationError` exposes it as `err.errorCode === "P1001"` (common on client startup failure). Therefore, predicates should use `err.code === "P1001" || err.errorCode === "P1001"`. Do not flag `err.code === "P1001"` as “unreachable/never matches,” as it is expected in production.

Using `$replica` can hit replica-lag and cause the RBAC lookup/authorization to run without the correct org scope (bypassing intended role enforcement). Implement the slug→org lookup with `prisma.organization.findFirst(...)` (or equivalent primary-client query) and add an inline comment documenting why the primary client is required (replica lag could lead to unscoped RBAC checks).

During code review, do not flag the absence of a per-call timeout on a single `fetch` as an issue; if per-call timeouts are needed, they should be implemented via a codebase-wide convention (e.g., a shared fetch wrapper or documented pattern) rather than ad-hoc per-function changes.

…reaming never completes (#4397)

## Summary

`batchTriggerAndWait()` could leave a parent run waiting forever. The
2-phase batch API blocks the parent on the batch's waitpoint as soon as
the batch is created, but the batch is only sealed at the end of item
streaming. If streaming never completed, nothing sealed the batch,
nothing completed the waitpoint, and the parent stayed suspended with no
timeout and no way to recover.

Supersedes #4016, which added the reaper alone.

## Fix

Admission for item streaming was being decided twice. Batch creation
passes its own rate limiter, which fixes `expectedCount` and blocks the
parent, and then the item stream had to pass the general API limiter as
well, competing with unrelated traffic. A second limiter could therefore
veto work the first had already committed the parent to. Creation now
mints a bounded grant that the item stream spends, so an admitted batch
can finish streaming. The grant is capped per batch rather than
exempting the path, and every failure mode (no grant, spent grant,
unreachable store) falls back to the normal limiter.

That makes stranding much rarer but not impossible, since a request
timeout or a crash can still end streaming for good. So a seal-timeout
reaper aborts any batch still unsealed after `BATCH_SEAL_TIMEOUT_MS` and
completes the parent's waitpoint with an error, letting
`batchTriggerAndWait()` reject instead of hang. It is race-safe against
a late seal, and it is only scheduled for batches that actually block a
parent, so fire-and-forget batches cost nothing.

Finally, the batches page used to report "Batch completion checked." for
these batches while doing nothing, because the completion path returns
early on an unsealed batch. It now says the batch cannot be resumed.

Rate limiting is no longer the reason a batch strands, so the reaper's
default stays at 30 minutes, comfortably above the SDK's worst-case
stream-retry budget.

## Verification

Unit and container tests cover the grant cap, the bypass ordering (it
runs after the authorization check, so it can never skip
authentication), and the reaper's abort, seal race, idempotency, and
no-waitpoint cases.

Also verified end-to-end against a running stack. With the general limit
exhausted, batch creation and other API calls returned 429 while a
granted batch still streamed and sealed; an ungranted batch id was rate
limited rather than bypassed; and the grant cut off exactly at its
configured attempt count. Reproducing the stranded state on a real
parent run, the batch was aborted at the timeout, the waitpoint
completed with an error, and the parent resumed and finished instead of
hanging. A parentless batch left unsealed was untouched well past the
reaper window.

## Verified against deployed runs

The reaper was proven end to end with a real deployed run (locally-run
supervisor, containerised
run) and a real network fault, rather than a simulated one: toxiproxy
severs the phase 2 item
stream mid-flight so every SDK stream retry genuinely fails, while phase
1 still succeeds. Only
the batch calls traverse the fault, so control-plane traffic is
untouched.

The reproduction is the shape that actually strands a parent: the task
catches the
`BatchTriggerError` the SDK throws and carries on, so the phase 1 block
outlives the thrown error
and the parent hangs at its next suspension point.

With the reaper disabled, the parent sat in `EXECUTING_WITH_WAITPOINTS`
for over 24 minutes holding
two blockers, and stayed stuck across a full infrastructure restart:

```
 type     | status    | has_timeout
 BATCH    | PENDING   | f            <- orphan, completedAfter NULL
 DATETIME | COMPLETED | t            <- the wait already elapsed
```

With the reaper enabled the same task under the same fault completed in
about 75 seconds with zero
blockers left, the batch `ABORTED`, and its waitpoint completed carrying
the error.

Two conditions are required to observe this at all, which is worth
knowing for any future test:
the run must be deployed rather than `trigger dev` (dev runs execute in
process and finish while
still holding blocker rows), and the wait after the caught error must
exceed the checkpoint
threshold, or it is served in process and never suspends.

### Why completing the batch waitpoint is sufficient

`batchTriggerAndWait` runs create, then stream, then wait. A phase 2
failure throws before the wait
is ever reached, and the reaper only fires on an unsealed batch, so the
parent is never suspended
awaiting the batch when it runs. The parent therefore does not need a
synthetic result, only to stop
being blocked. Note this reasoning depends on that ordering: if the wait
were ever reached with an
unsealed batch, completing the batch waitpoint alone would not settle
the caller.

## Follow-ups

- Batches stranded before this ships still need a one-off recovery; the
reaper only schedules at creation time.
- That same property leaves a gap if the process dies between creating
the batch and scheduling the job. A periodic sweep would close it, but
wants a supporting index.
- When a partially streamed batch aborts, children already enqueued keep
running while the parent fails. Left as-is deliberately, since
cancelling triggered work is a bigger semantic call.

Superseded by #4397, which merged as c72ebf9. Flagging rather than closing since this is your PR.

The seal-timeout reaper concept here was right and carried over intact, including the conditional-updateMany race guard. What changed on the way in:

  • Routed through runStore rather than this.$.prisma.batchTaskRun directly. Batch rows are run-ops-routed, so on the split a run-ops-resident batch would not be found via the control-plane client.
  • Only scheduled when a parent is actually blocked, inside the existing parentRunId && resumeParentOnCompletion branch, rather than for every batch created. Batch creation is a hot path and fire-and-forget batches have nothing to strand.
  • Made resumable. The abort and the waitpoint completion are two writes, and a crash between them left the parent blocked forever because the retry saw a non-pending batch and returned early. An already-aborted batch now falls through to complete its waitpoint.
  • Scheduled before the parent is blocked, so a failed enqueue cannot leave a blocked parent with no reaper.
  • Added a bounded counter for expiration outcomes.

One thing worth knowing, since it changes how the fix is justified: the SDK ignores BATCH-type waitpoints entirely, so completing one does not settle batchTriggerAndWait. That turns out not to matter, because a phase 2 failure throws before the wait is ever reached, so the parent is never suspended awaiting the batch when the reaper fires. It only needs unblocking. Verified end to end against a real deployed run with a real network fault: over 24 minutes stuck with the reaper off, about 75 seconds to completion with it on.

Also picked up separately: the "check completion" button silently reported success for these batches, because the completion path early-returns on an unsealed batch.
