Task 7.1 (unit tests) was already complete with 8 tests in
test_ha_connection_reuse.c. Added two new tests:
Task 7.2 — test_follower_passive_no_outbound_connect (Req 2.1, 2.4):
Verifies raft_cb_become_follower sets role=CTRL_STANDBY and nulls all
votes[i].ep. The old fetch_config_from_primary path is gone; standbys
never initiate outbound connects after election loss.
Task 7.3 — test_promoted_ep_repl_ack_promotes_to_primary (Req 5.2, 5.4):
Injects two OPCode_replCatchUpDone packets via peer_ctrl_msg_handler in
CTRL_PRIMARY_COMMITTING with n_peers=4 (5-node cluster, quorum=2 ACKs).
Verifies repl_ack_count reaches 2 and role transitions to CTRL_PRIMARY.
Added vote_ep_ctx_set_cluster_for_test() seam so vctx->c is non-NULL
when ha_repl_ack_received fires ha_promote_to_primary.
All 62 controller tests pass; ASAN clean.
spec: .kiro/specs/ha-peer-connection-reuse/tasks.md all tasks [x]
cleanup.sh is generated by deploy-ha.sh and already does the right thing:
keeps ctrl-1/conf/* and all certs, wipes ctrl-{2..N}/conf, all data/, and logs.
Update skill and CLAUDE.md to use it as the primary clean-restart command
instead of manual rm loops.
- .claude/skills/xce-deploy-ha/SKILL.md: new skill for deploying a
local 3-node XCE HA controller cluster. Covers build prerequisites,
deploy via src/tools/deploy-ha.sh, node startup with -vvv raft trace,
health verification checks, clean restart procedure, and a
troubleshooting table for common failure modes.
- src/controller/CLAUDE.md: add HA Cluster Deployment section with
quick-deploy commands, health check one-liners, and reference to the
xce-deploy-ha skill. Add src/tools/deploy-ha.sh to key files.
- config_repl.c: add handle_repl_config_push — standby handler for
OPCode_replConfigPush. Verifies SHA-256, saves blob to disk via
conf_save_config, reloads via load_primary_config, ACKs primary.
- config_repl.h: declare handle_repl_config_push.
- cluster.c: dispatch OPCode_replConfigPush to handle_repl_config_push;
populate c->myhost_info.name from myconf->name (ctrl-1/ctrl-2/ctrl-3)
instead of the static "controller" placeholder.
- ha.c: fix raft_cb_become_leader push_config_to_standbys call to pass
real config bytes and tag read from disk (was NULL/0 — standbys got
empty push and never saved config).
- typemap.h: add raw_sha256/raw_bytes/raw_bytes_len fields to
repl_config_push_req_t (mirrors upgrade_config_req_t pattern).
- request.c: pre-extract List(UInt8) sha256/bytes from OPCode_replConfigPush
before capn_free() in xce_decode(); free them in xce_free_request().
- helper.c: add all HA/replication opcode names to xce_request_op_name
so "unknown opcode 30" becomes "replConfigPush" in logs.
- cluster_def.h: add embedded myhost_info field to cluster_t struct.
- ha.h: declare ha_start_primary_heartbeat; remove dead
ha_find_and_connect_to_primary declaration.
- ha.c: add raft_cb_trace callback wired to s_real_cbs.on_trace; emits
RAFT[pN] term=T event=E at DEBUG3 level, visible with -vvv flag.
- ha.c: repl_ack_decode_and_dispatch now silently drops OPCode_nop and
OPCode_reply instead of WARNING — heartbeat NOP replies from standbys
arrive on promoted endpoints and are expected.
- deploy-ha.sh: fix --vcpu -> --vcpus; add \$VERBOSE passthrough so
start.sh respects VERBOSE=-vvv from the environment.
- ha.c: arm heartbeat timeout watchdog after ha_find_and_connect_to_primary (all 3 tiers)
- ha.c: guard ha_arm_heartbeat_timeout_vtask with c!=NULL (prevents ASAN stack-use-after-return in unit tests)
- ha.c: add priority-based jitter to ha_on_primary_ctrl_fd_rdhup to avoid split-brain
- ha.c: clear voted_for before RDHUP jitter so check reflects new votes, not stale startup votes
Non-blocking election initiator that returns immediately after registering
vote endpoints with iomgr and scheduling the election timeout watchdog.
- Single-node shortcircuit (n_peers==1): allocates self-only ha_elect_ctx_t,
calls ha_elect_evaluate_and_signal directly, frees ctx inline — no iomgr
or delaymgr involvement; returns in < 1ms
- Multi-node: allocates ha_elect_ctx_t, per-peer vote_ep_ctx_t, calls
endpoint_connect + iomgr_monitor for each peer; schedules election timeout
via delay_task_ms; skips peer on connect failure (counted as denied)
- election_timeout_fn: delaymgr callback that fires ha_elect_evaluate_and_signal
after election_timeout_ms, unless cancelled flag is set (lock-free cancellation)
- vote_ep_err_handler: counts unreachable peers as denied votes
- Declares ha_start_election_async in ha.h with full doc comment
- 5 Unity tests in test_ha_start_election_async.c: returns < 5ms, stores
n_peers, shortcircuit fires immediately, n_peers stored for multi-peer,
term incremented — all GREEN with ASAN enabled
Replace stub with full iomgr-native vote reply decoder:
- Reads RequestVoteReply fields into local scalars BEFORE capn_free (UAF fix)
- Term fencing: atomic update ha->term if peer term > ours
- Error path: decode failure counts peer as denied vote
- Test seam: xce_vote_reply_hook for unit testing without real packets
- 4 new ASAN-clean unit tests: field decode, denied vote, term fencing, no-UAF
The pre-existing vote_request_thread UAF in the old pthread path remains
but is targeted for removal in task 5.3 (old code removal).
- vote_ep_ctx_t: per-peer context (ha, c, ctx, peer_idx, term/tag/lsn/name)
- election_timeout_ctx_t: cancelled flag + context for delay watchdog
- on_vote_connected(): iomgr callback fires after SSL handshake; builds
xce_request_t{opcode=OPCode_requestVote}, calls xce_request, sets msg_handler
- vote_reply_msg_handler stub (returns 0; implemented in task 2.3)
- Test seam: xce_vote_request_hook for unit testing without live SSL
- 4 new unit tests: opcode, field encoding, msg_handler set, cancelled flag
Context note: vctx->c is NULL in test helper — task 2.3 must use real cluster_t*
