Implements the scheduler's first request-reply opcode (OPCode_schedAdmin).
sched_handle_admin_request() (handler.c) decodes SchedAdminRequest and
dispatches by action: recordStatus answers synchronously (pure read);
recordStart/recordStop are deferred onto the existing pend_updates queue
(XCE_SCHED_OP_ADMIN_RECORD) since sched_record_start()'s snapshot call
requires the session_active==0 precondition only guaranteed on the driver
thread, not the async request-handling thread. driver.c's
xce_sched_driver_translate_pending_events() performs the deferred action
and sends the reply via a new xcecli_reply_schedadmin() (client.c/client.h),
correlated by seq copied before the original request is freed.
Adversarial review found a genuine cross-thread race: sched_record_status()
read driver-owned recording state (including a pointer the driver thread
frees) from the vtask thread with no lock -- the codebase's first such
race, missed by ASan (doesn't detect races). Fixed with a dedicated
record_lock scoped strictly to in-memory field access, never spanning file
I/O; sched_record_status() now strdup()s under the lock instead of
returning a borrowed live pointer. Verified with a real two-thread
lock-contention test (independently confirmed non-vacuous by removing the
lock and observing the test fail) plus a deterministic use-after-free
reproduction.
26/26 scheduler suite, clang-format clean.
Splits xce_scheduler_t along the controller-I/O seam: xce_sched_core_t
(new core.h/core.c) now holds all scheduling state (jobs/queues/workers/
users/projects/resource managers/plugins/three-thread-cbuf pipeline),
while xce_scheduler_t shrinks to {core; apictx; cluster_cfg}. Proven via
an nm-based link-time isolation test (zero netio/xcecli/idgen/delaymgr
symbols reachable from core.c) plus a reproducible wall-clock-call guard.

controller.capnp declared `struct Data $C.mapname("xce_data_t")` (an
OPCode_get query-result tagged union) at file scope, which shadows
Cap'n Proto's builtin Data blob type for every later `: Data` field in
the same file. This silently miscompiled 7 fields across 6 structs as
a struct-pointer type instead of a raw byte blob: UpgradeConfigRequest
.sha256/.bytes, ReplConfigReply.sha256/.bytes, ReplConfigPushRequest
.sha256/.bytes, ReplEnvelope.payload, SnapshotTransfer's chunk
payload, WalCatchupEntry.payload/.batchPayloads, and CtrlHelloRequest
.key. Production C code had already routed around it for years via
hand-rolled raw capn_ptr manipulation (see request.c's own comments);
nothing before now needed the generated codec/accessors to actually
work for these fields.
Renamed the local struct to XceData (capnp-level name only; the
$C.mapname("xce_data_t") C typedef is unchanged) and explicitly
repointed getdata/pushmsg at XceData by name, since those two fields
correctly want the local tagged union. Updated every derived
generated-identifier reference across 19 hand-written files spanning
controller, lib, scheduler, and the Go apiserver/xcecli CGo bindings.
Fixed 5 call sites in lib/request.c that had been typed against the
old workaround alias but now legitimately receive the correct
capn_data type (a pure type-name swap -- Data_ptr/XceData_ptr and
capn_data share the identical {capn_ptr p} layout).
Verified via full rebuild+test: lib (1/1), controller (3/3, incl. the
job-array push regression tests), scheduler (15/15), Go apiserver +
xcecli (all packages green), and a direct pycapnp round-trip proving
UpgradeConfigRequest.sha256/.bytes now encode/decode correctly.
Bug: bug-1461 (.wolf/buglog.json). Unblocks admin-config-tool task 3.3.
sched_handle_dataset()'s Data_data_jobArray case never freed
dataset->rows (the decoded xce_job_submit_t*) after sched_on_job_array()
consumed it -- free_Dataset() is an empty no-op for every table type, so
nothing else owned this call. One bounded leak per delivered array push.
Free it via the existing free_JobSubmit_ptr() teardown on both the
success and error path, mirroring the sibling list-shaped cases'
ownership-transfer convention.
Rewrote test_job_array_expand.c's init_job_array() fixture to
heap-allocate + strdup its fields (matching the real wire-decode shape)
since freeing the old stack/string-literal fixture crashed. Redelivery
test now builds a fresh descriptor per delivery, matching how a real
redelivery is always a freshly-decoded wire message.
Closes task 7.3 (job-array-single-wal-record), the last of the three
post-GO residual gaps reopened 2026-07-16.
extract_data() (src/lib/request.c), the shared reassembly step every
inbound push passes through inside vtask_entry() before any receiver's
handler runs, had no case for Data_data_jobArray -- it hit
default: rc=-EINVAL. Because vtask_entry()'s callnext check treats any
nonzero return (including a negative errno) as "reassembly complete,
proceed," this never surfaced as an error: the real payload was freed
and the receiver silently handed an empty, zeroed dataset_t, with no
log anywhere in the chain. Tasks 5.1-5.3 were each individually
correct and tested in isolation, but the feature was dead on the real
wire end-to-end.
Adds case Data_data_jobArray: passing the single, unchunked
descriptor straight through (no pagination needed, unlike the
existing LIST-shaped cases) and nulls the source pointer after
transfer -- verified this is not cosmetic, since free_Request()'s
pushmsg case would otherwise double-free it via free_Data()'s live
Data_data_jobArray branch.
Proven with a real xce_encode()/xce_decode() round-trip through the
fixed extract_data() -> sched_handle_dataset() -> sched_on_job_array()
(task 5.3, unmodified) chain, not just a unit-level check on
extract_data() alone. Also confirms task 5.4's future API-server
receive path shares this exact fix, since both go through the same
xcecli_ctx_init() -> vtask_entry() -> extract_data() pipeline.
One self-flagged, non-blocking residual gap (pre-existing since task
5.3, out of this task's request.c-only boundary): dataset->rows for
the jobArray case is never deep-freed downstream, leaking one bounded
xce_job_submit_t per successfully-delivered array push commit.
Task 5.3b of job-array-single-wal-record (Requirements 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 8.4).
Inserted mid-run after independent review confirmed the gap; user
confirmed sequencing (fix now, before task 5.4).
Adds sched_on_job_array() (handler.c), a sibling case to
Data_data_schedjobs decoding the new Data.jobArray variant and
expanding it locally into N ordinary schedulable tasks via
base_jobid + i, routed through the existing unmodified per-job
pipeline (sched_on_jobs()). Each element gets its own deep clone
(clone_job_submit_data/clone_job_startinfo) of the shared submit
spec, since per-element teardown (free_Job_ptr) frees it
independently and a shared pointer would double-free.
Dedup reuses sched_get_job() against the same kvtab sched_add_job()
guards, rather than a new mechanism. A confirmation log line fires
once per successful expansion (skipped on a fully-duplicate
redelivery).
Adds a new task (5.3b) discovered during this task's review: the
shared wire dispatcher extract_data() (src/lib/request.c) has no case
for Data_data_jobArray and silently drops every real array push
before any receiver's handler runs -- outside every current task's
boundary, confirmed to affect the future API-server receive path
(task 5.4) identically. design.md's File Structure Plan corrected to
record this. User confirmed sequencing: fix it now, before 5.4.
Task 5.3 of job-array-single-wal-record (Requirements 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 8.4).
