fix(broker): reconnect application-dead node links - #1610
Conversation
Session-Id: 01a037a8-0dba-7042-af9d-869a7f240877
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe broker now detects missing application-level inventory acknowledgements, bounds WebSocket operations, and reconnects with revised classifications. The SDK now omits active-agent counts for offline nodes while preserving measured zero for live nodes. Tests and changelog entries cover both fixes. ChangesFleet node liveness and status reporting
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds application-level liveness checks and bounded reconnect behavior, but post-handshake failures currently retry every second indefinitely instead of applying backoff. That can create excessive connection churn and load during persistent failures, so the reconnect behavior should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Reviewed exact head 44ddb17dcafcdefa347cb31bb132a3dc4e9aa846.
The application probe is compatible with the hosted engine currently used by relaycast-cloud: inventory.sync accepts a caller ID and its reply echoes requestId(message). The branch keeps transport pong idle detection separate, bounds connect/write awaits, enforces the correlated application deadline, logs the unhealthy/reconnect transition, resets stale outage backoff after an established session, and makes unreachable SDK counts unknown while retaining measured zero for a live node. The red live-socket/dead-application regression directly covers #1591.
Scope boundary is correctly stated: FleetControlEvent::Connected still occurs at transport connect and inventory/heartbeat still precede accepted node.register; this PR does not implement RFC #301's registration Ready state and must not be credited for it.
No source blocker found in this pass. GitHub CI and CodeRabbit are still in progress, the author's full isolated SDK suite was not completed, and this coordinator shares the PR author's GitHub identity, so this is a substantive comment rather than an approval. A distinct current-head approval and all required CI must be green before handoff. No merge/release/restart performed.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
A short-lived established session now reconnects every second without backoff.
Two changes combine here. Line 1628 resets reconnect_delay to INITIAL_RECONNECT_DELAY after any Disconnected result, and lines 1688-1690 skip backoff growth for that same result. Disconnected is returned for every post-handshake failure, including an immediate server close frame, a first send_wire failure, a write timeout, and a rejected inventory liveness probe (line 2146). If the engine accepts the WebSocket handshake and then fails the session immediately, the broker retries every 1 second forever. Before this change the delay grew to the 30-second cap.
Gate the reset on evidence that the session was actually usable, for example on the first application acknowledgement, and let the backoff grow otherwise.
♻️ One possible shape
- if matches!(result, ControlRunResult::Disconnected) {
+ if matches!(result, ControlRunResult::Disconnected { application_ready: true }) {
...
reconnect_delay = INITIAL_RECONNECT_DELAY;
}Carry application_ready (the ApplicationLiveness::ready flag) out of run_connected_once in the Disconnected variant, and grow the backoff whenever it is false.
Also applies to: 1688-1690

Summary
activeAgentsvalue to a measured zeroApproach
The current Relaycast engine does not acknowledge
node.heartbeat, so this stays wire-compatible by assigning request IDs to the existing periodicinventory.syncrequest and treating its correlated reply as the application-level liveness proof. WebSocket pong traffic continues to drive only the transport read-idle watchdog added in #1462.The production application deadline is two inventory periods (120 seconds), never shorter than the transport deadline. WebSocket handshakes are bounded at 15 seconds, writes at 10 seconds, and reconnect delay remains capped at 30 seconds.
The explicit registration-state work proposed in AgentWorkforce/relaycast#301 remains separate.
Regression evidence
Before the implementation, the deterministic live-socket/dead-application test failed as intended after its two-second outer deadline (
0 passed; 1 failed; 1029 filtered out). Evidence is recorded on #1591.After the implementation:
cargo test -p agent-relay-broker --lib node_control_: 11 passed, 0 failedcargo fmt --all -- --check: passedcargo clippy -p agent-relay-broker --lib --tests -- -D warnings: passedThe full SDK suite could not be validated against an isolated install locally:
npm cihung before creatingnode_modules. A read-only shared dependency tree ran 159 tests successfully but had 25 unrelated failures from mixed Zod copies and worker-injected origin metadata; the two changed test paths pass directly.Closes #1591
