apiserver/meson.build and xcecli/meson.build now pass
XCE_GIT_COMMIT/XCE_BUILD_TIME (from the project's commit_id/build_time
meson options) into go_build's environment, mirroring the existing
CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR/BUILD_ROOT env-passing mechanism. Deliberately
unquoted: go_build's fix_input_envs() only quote-strips
CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR/BUILD_ROOT, not these two -- quoting them would embed
literal quote characters and corrupt the -ldflags argument.
Live-verified: real values (matching git rev-parse --short HEAD plus
dirty suffix, and a real UTC timestamp) reach go build's actual
invocation and are embedded in both binaries' Go build-info metadata.
No main.GitCommit/main.BuildTime symbols exist in either binary yet
(confirmed via go tool nm) since apiserver/xcecli's main packages don't
declare those vars until tasks 4.4/4.5 -- expected, this task's scope is
the env-var plumbing only.
Task 4.2/13 of build-time-versioning.

Two retrospective design-review findings:
- design.md's System Flows sequence diagram showed the controller-layer
resval check as an independently-launched client session, implying no
dependency on the injecting worker staying connected. As-built (bug-1579),
host-attrs resources reset to baseline the instant the worker disconnects,
so the check actually runs nested inside the still-open worker session via
xce_test's `!` shell-escape. Updated the diagram and prose to show this,
and documented the still-open residual risk for custom host-attrs
resource names in Error Handling.
- Added explicit "do not change this format" warning comments at both
trace-log call sites (core_events.c's RESVALS_DELTA case, apiserver's
OnResourceLocationUpdated) that xce-test-resources' log-grep depends on --
an unrelated logging cleanup at either site would otherwise silently turn
every future verification run into a false UNREACHABLE/timeout.
No behavior change in either source file -- comments only.
formatPendJob used job.HumanID ("1-0-1786764804-0") as the tool's `id`,
but the apiserver rejects dash-form job IDs as query input (only numeric is
accepted, utils.IsNumeric) — so an id copied out of scheduler_pend_reasons
could not be fed back into scheduler_get_job/cancel/hold/release (HTTP 400).
Use job.ID (numeric, same as scheduler_list_jobs' `id`) and keep `human_id`
for display. Round-trip verified on the cluster: pend_reasons id ->
scheduler_get_job succeeds.
Test: TestFormatPendJobIDConsistency (id is numeric, human_id preserved,
both with and without a pending_reason).

One logger.Debug("resource-location stored", ...) call in
OnResourceLocationUpdated, immediately after store.ResourceLocations.Put,
logging resource/host/value as zap fields. Debug-level only, matches this
package's existing logging convention (reuses convert.go's field names).
Live-confirmed against a real deployment with logging.level: debug.
Also surfaced (but did not fix, out of boundary - pure Go change, no
possible causal link) a pre-existing xce_test segfault on string-typed
resupdate (type/model) - uninitialized stack memory, non-deterministic,
invisible to ASan. Logged as bug-1574; flagged in tasks.md as a risk for
task 7.1's default resource set and task 8.1's live e2e run.

Bundles the fixes validated this session across ha.c/persist.c/worker.c:
- raft-apply-decoupling Task 7.4: apply-pump O(N^2) throughput regression
fixed via a segment-read cache.
- bug-1416: boot-time TOCTOU race in persist_verify_apply_correctness()
closed with a recovery-complete gate that closes at process-lifecycle
start, not function entry.
- bug-451: HOOK_DETAIL_JOB_RUSAGE_UPDATE now has its own persist hook arm
instead of silently falling through the default job-state case.
- bug-1426: trim_wal_segments() also caps its trim floor at the local
apply pump's own progress, not just remote standby-acked positions.
- bug-1427: persist_verify_apply_correctness() extended with a worker-count
check mirroring the existing job-count check (count_jobmgr_entries and
count_workermgr_entries now share one count_manager_entries(var) helper).
- bug-1428: persist_register_pending_apply's critical section widened to
close the actual race instead of patching a symptom.
- bug-1472 (remainder): WORKER_DEAD replay in worker_from_capnp() now
applies mark_worker_unavail()'s mutations via a shared
apply_worker_dead_mutation() helper instead of duplicating them.
- bug-1474 (angle-a): on_standby_connected's stale-duplicate detection
fixed for promoted vote endpoints via a shared votes_idx_for_peer()
index-scale converter.
Each fix independently verified via TDD (RED before fix, GREEN after).
Full ASAN rebuild + controller_unit_test: 1101 tests, 0 failures. Live
single-node HA deployment validated Task 7.4 and bug-1416 across 5
restart/recovery cycles (45/45 job submissions, zero APPLY_DIVERGENT
fences).

XCECLI_FF_CALL (backing xcecli_heartbeat) can silently rotate+reconnect
the transport entirely inside a single call and still return success, so
heartbeat.go's failure-to-success transition detector could never observe
a reconnect that completes within one heartbeat tick -- the common case,
since elections finish in single-digit seconds against a default 30s
interval. apiserver's application-level rejoin never fired on a real
idle-period failover, and job pushes silently stopped reaching it.
Adds a monotonic reconnect_gen counter to endpoint_t (netio.h), bumped by
xce_ctx_reconnect() (xcectx.c) on every successful reconnect regardless of
trigger path. heartbeat.go now compares this generation every tick instead
of tracking success/failure transitions. Re-validated live against task
5.2's exact scenario (apiserver alone, zero write traffic): rejoin fired
22s after a primary kill, 12s after election.
Reopens and closes out component-failover-adoption's own NO-GO -> GO
validation cycle from 2026-08-15.

apiserver now returns pending_reason as an object ({main_reason,
main_reason_name, host_reasons, res_reasons}) since the PEND-reason work.
xcecli's QueryJob.PendingReason was a plain string, so every job list
failed with "cannot unmarshal object into string". Two fixes:
- xcecli/models/jobs.go: PendingReason is now a string-backed type with a
custom UnmarshalJSON that accepts null / empty string / plain string
(older API) / the object form (current API, rendered as readable text —
LSF bjobs -p style: "match_fail; host t1: match_fail; ..."). Unknown
objects fall back to the raw bytes instead of erroring, so a job list
can never fail on an unexpected pending_reason shape.
- apiserver/models/jobs.go: JobAdditionalFields gains PendingReason so the
fields= query (xcecli `jobs list -l`) no longer rejects pending_reason
with "unsupported query field".
- xcecli/common/output/page_print_jobs.go: adapt the verbose printer to the
new type.
Tests: xcecli/models/jobs_test.go — 6 cases (null / empty / plain string /
object / within QueryJob / unknown object). xcecli 9 packages + apiserver
models/controllers/utils all pass.
Verified on the test cluster: `xcecli jobs list` (no unmarshal error) and
`xcecli jobs list -l` show "PENDING REASONS: host_unavail; host t1:
host_unavail; host t2: match_fail; host t3: match_fail".

Two bugs surfaced by the new scheduler_pend_reasons tool:
1. The apiserver returns job_status as the numeric XCE state bitmask
(PEND=0x01, RUN=0x02, EXIT=0x04, DONE=0x08), but getJobs read it with
rowStr (string), which returns "" for a number → every job mapped to URM
"unknown", so the pending/running status filter matched nothing.
→ JobStatusFromXCEState(int) + rowURMStatus fallback.
2. pending_reason is a JSON object in the row, not a string; rowStr returned
"" so Extensions["pending_reason"] was empty and the reason never parsed.
→ rowJSON(key) stores the raw JSON value; the MCP pend_reasons parser
handles the map form.
schedulerclient tests updated (JobStatusFromXCEState table). mcp-server +
schedulerclient test suites pass; live MCP call now returns the bjobs -p style
explanation for a PEND job.

New read-only tool that answers "why is my job waiting": lists PEND jobs (or
one by id) and translates each job's pending_reason into a human-readable
scenario (LSF bjobs -p style). Maps the PREASON_* codes surfaced by the
PEND-reason work (4e2ac86): no_resource / match_fail / limit_global /
limit_host / queue_closed / queue_draining / time_window / host_unavail.
- internal/pendreason.go: pending_reason JSON parsing (mirrors apiserver
rawPendReason) + reasonScenario() translation + bjobs -p style summary.
- internal/app.go: HandlePendReasons — id param for one job, else pending
list filtered by queue/owner/limit.
- cmd/main.go: register scheduler_pend_reasons (read-only).
- 5 unit tests (known/unknown codes, parse from JSON, missing reason,
summary format). go test ./... + go vet clean.

P0 (done, cluster-verified):
- main_reason was always 0: add_job_preason only set it when BOTH host and res
were NULL, but the allocator always attaches host/res detail rows. Now the
first detail add wins as main_reason, so the API's main_reason_name is
meaningful (was "unknown(0)"). Verified live: PEND jobs now report
main_reason=3/match_fail + per-host reason_name.
- limit plugin attach: host-based quota hit (hg1_slots_per_host) -> LIMIT_HOST
+ limit name; global quota hit (ug1_slots, ...) -> LIMIT_GLOBAL + limit name.
Previously both blocks were silent (job just stayed PEND).
- Extended the PREASON_* enum (was 3 codes) with LSF-style classes:
LIMIT_GLOBAL/LIMIT_HOST/QUEUE_CLOSED/QUEUE_DRAINING/TIME_WINDOW/HOST_UNAVAIL.
apiserver pendReasonName maps them; host/res detail rows now carry reason_name.
P1 (implemented):
- queue status: sched_queue_is_ready no longer a stub — closed/inactivated
queues are not electable; the fcfs election attaches QUEUE_CLOSED /
QUEUE_DRAINING to every PEND job in a skipped queue.
- worker filter: sched_try_alloc_on_host_ skips UNAVAIL/CLOSED workers and
attaches HOST_UNAVAIL instead of trying to allocate on them.
Unit tests: preason suite updated for the main_reason change + 3 new tests
(limit host/global, first-add-wins); 295 lib tests pass under ASAN.
apiserver backend tests pass.

The apiserver stayed circuit-breaker-degraded after a full controller
restart until manually restarted. Two root causes:
1. Breaker recovery was decoupled from the breaker itself. The breaker can
be tripped by a backend write failure (e.g. E_XCE_STANDBY -10014 while
the controller is electing) with no heartbeat ever failing, but
StartHeartbeat only recovered on a fail→success heartbeat transition
(prevFailed), so the breaker stayed degraded forever.
→ extract needsRejoinAfterHeartbeat(hbOK, prevFailed): recover when
prevFailed OR the breaker is currently tripped. 5 new unit tests.
2. The 30s heartbeat's fire-and-forget reconnect only fires when the lib's
internal ctx state is XCE_CTX_ERR. After a controller restart whose
election outlasts the FAILOVER_CALL retry budget, the retry loop's
xcecli_ctx_recover leaves the ctx RUN on a half-open connection, so the
FF path never reconnects and the client stays disconnected forever.
→ lib: new xcecli_force_reconnect() forces a rotate+recover regardless
of state; apiserver: 2s recoveryLoop force-reconnects + rejoins while
degraded.
Verified on cluster: after controller kill+restart, the apiserver logs
"backend re-joined controller after reconnect" and job submissions resume
without a manual restart; a fresh job runs to DONE. Controller, scheduler
(rejoin ok, bug-1513) and workers all auto-recover.

component-failover-adoption Req 4: when the apiserver's controller connection
is down, backend-requiring API requests must return a clear service-unavailable
error rather than hanging. Adds:
- health.go: an atomic circuit breaker (IsDegraded/MarkDegraded/MarkHealthy).
- callBackend: the four write calls (jobsubmit/jobctrl/queuectrl/hostctrl)
now route through it — degraded ⇒ immediate "backend controller unavailable"
error without invoking the lib; a transport OR XCE not-ready/masterless/
standby failure (E_XCE_NOMASTER/REDIRECT/NOT_READY/STANDBY) trips the breaker
so the NEXT call fails fast. Semantic rejections (-EINVAL/-ENOENT/E_XCE_BAD_*)
never trip it.
- StartHeartbeat: a failed tick marks degraded; recovery re-joins (rejoinBackend)
and marks healthy.
Verified live (t1 cluster): kill controller → first submit returns
xcecli_jobsubmit failed: -10013 (bounded, no hang), second submit returns
"backend controller unavailable (reconnecting)" in ~11ms. 7 unit tests.
Recovery-via-heartbeat after a FULL controller death is NOT yet reliable — the
lib transport reconnect does not always re-establish to the restarted
controller (same class as the scheduler reconnect; tracked under task 13).
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
component-failover-adoption Req 2 (partial): two of the three daemons now
self-heal after a controller restart without an operator restart.
- worker (controller_connector.c): checking_connection() previously gave up
after 5 retries and called handle_disconnect() (which set running=false and
exited the connector thread). It now retries indefinitely — the connector
thread is dedicated to this loop so the unbounded retry/sleep cannot block
the worker's other liveness duties. Verified live: killing the controller
leaves all 3 workers alive and retrying; they re-join when it returns.
- apiserver (clib.go): xcecli_heartbeat is fire-and-forget — it best-effort
reconnects the transport but never re-joins, so after a controller restart
push notifications stop. StartHeartbeat now tracks heartbeat failure→success
and, on recovery, calls xce_backend_rejoin (xcecli_join as HostRole_apiserver)
to re-register and resume pushes. Verified live: "backend re-joined
controller after reconnect" logged during a controller kill/restart.
Scheduler reconnect NOT included: the rejoin works but exposes a pre-existing
libxce race — xce_ctx_reconnect's endpoint_fini tears down the old endpoint
while a lib vtask/io thread is still processing it, a deterministic double-free
(bad-free in the loader, same freed address offset across runs). Root-cause in
libxce netio/endpoint lifecycle is a separate task (documented in
left_scheduler_work.md).

The pending_reason field was declared on models.JobInfo but never populated:
scheduler computed PEND reasons and the controller stored them on
job->pend_reasons, yet the data stopped there. Two gaps closed:
1. controller/apiserver.c: apiserver_job_hook_fun now handles
HOOK_DETAIL_SETPREASON by pushing the updated job to API servers (reusing
apiserver_job_update_fun). Without this, a job whose PEND reasons change
never reached the API server — only JOB_NEW/UPDATE/START/EXIT events did,
and setpreason fired none of those.
2. backend/convert.go + convert_pure.go: cJobToModel / rawJobToModel now
extract xce_job_t.pend_reasons (main_reason + host/res reasons) and
marshal them into models.JobInfo.PendingReason as JSONB. models/jobs.go:
pending_reason added to JOB_DEFAULT_COLUMN so default job queries return
it (it was only in JSONBJFields, never selected).
Verified live on t1/t2/t3: a job with resreq "type == nosuchhost" stays
PEND and returns
"pending_reason":{"main_reason":0,"host_reasons":[{"host":"t1","reason":3},
{"host":"t2","reason":3},{"host":"t3","reason":3}]}
(main_reason=3 PREASON_MATCH_FAIL per host) via both /jobs list, /jobs/:id
and the SSE stream. 4 new unit tests (rawJobToModel pendReason marshal +
name mapping), all apiserver backend tests pass.

The MCP/apiserver returned the raw 64-bit job ID (e.g. 73930964699447296)
while xce_test/xcecli display the dash form (e.g. 1-0-1786585485-0) that
parse_jobid accepts. A user taking the numeric form into xce_test fails to
parse it. The apiserver is the data-correctness owner (MCP only reads), so
it now emits the controller's fmt_jobid form alongside the numeric ID:
- models: JobSubmitResponse gains job_id_human; job list rows gain
job_id_human (processJobData), using the existing backend.FormatJobID.
- schedulerclient: URMJob.HumanID + SubmitJobResult.JobIDHuman parse it.
- Tests: backend.FormatJobID (real t1 job, pre-cluster1 job, array child);
processJobData adds job_id_human.
Also rename the SSE permission event:subscribe → event:view so mcp_readonly
stays strictly *:view (the read-only invariant test enforces).
Verified live on t1: scheduler_submit returns job_id_human 1-0-1786586474-0
and scheduler_get_job returns human_id.

Audit of apiserver's three task-4.6 coverage areas (degraded-to-healthy
transitions, concurrent-request safety, candidate-list parity):
degraded-to-healthy and candidate-list parity were already fully
satisfied by tasks 4.1/4.5's own tests. Found one genuine gap: reconnect.go's
needsRejoin/checkAndPerformRejoin (task 4.3) had zero concurrent-access
test coverage despite being reached from 5 real concurrent HTTP-wrapper
call sites plus the heartbeat goroutine -- health.go's existing
50-goroutine stress test only covered the separate degraded-until
timestamp. One new test closes it.

Adds an atomic degraded-until state (health.go: IsDegraded/MarkDegraded/
MarkHealthy) that lets request handlers fail fast with a clear
unavailable error instead of blocking on xcecli's own ~100s retry
budget when the backend is known-degraded.
Consolidates what tasks 4.3/4.4 left as duplicated inline
"call xcecli_*; checkAndPerformRejoin()" pairs across five wrapper
functions into one shared callBackend() helper: checks IsDegraded()
before every call (fail fast, skip the C call and the rejoin check
entirely on the degraded path -- checking rejoin there would itself
block up to ~100s, defeating the fail-fast purpose), marks degraded on
-E_XCE_NOT_READY, marks healthy at checkAndPerformRejoin()'s existing
success point (the single call site both the write path and the
idle-period heartbeat path already funnel through).
The circuit breaker's own TTL-based state is deliberately never read
by the rejoin-retry mechanism -- checkAndPerformRejoin() has no
IsDegraded() dependency, so a fast-fail window never suppresses
retry-until-actually-joined; heartbeat.go's unconditional per-tick
call keeps that cadence alive regardless of degraded state, and a
10s TTL (well under the ~100s retry budget) lets write traffic resume
contributing once it clears.

xcecli_heartbeat() is XCECLI_FF_CALL-wrapped -- a deliberately
non-retrying fire-and-forget path that does its own best-effort
one-shot reconnect but never calls xcecli_invoke_rejoin() (that only
fires from the write-call retry path). Left as-is, a controller
failover with no in-flight write request would silently repair the
transport connection without ever re-joining, permanently starving
push notifications.
runHeartbeat() gains two callback hooks fired at the right points --
onFailureToSuccess on a genuine transition, onSuccessTick on every
successful tick thereafter -- wired directly to task 4.3's existing
setNeedsRejoin()/checkAndPerformRejoin() from StartHeartbeat(). No
second rejoin mechanism: checkAndPerformRejoin() is a cheap no-op when
nothing is pending, so calling it unconditionally on every successful
tick is safe and matches the requirement that retry isn't gated on the
transition edge alone.

Registers a rejoin flag-setter (go_backend_rejoin_handler) as the
client library's reconnect callback: zero I/O, sets an atomic flag,
returns immediately -- avoiding self-deadlock on the library's
per-ctx failover lock the same way worker's and scheduler's rejoin
callbacks already do. The C shim, its extern declaration, and the
xcecli_set_reconnect_handler() registration call all live together in
clib.go's xce_backend_init(), placed after xcecli_start()'s success
check (xcecli_start() wipes any earlier-registered handler as part of
its own init -- the same ordering bug found and fixed in worker's/
scheduler's task 2.3/3.1 work).
A shared checkAndPerformRejoin() helper wraps every gCtx.ctx-based
backend call (SubmitJob, ControlJob, ControlQueue, ControlHost,
FetchFile): after the call returns, if a rejoin is pending, issue
xcecli_join() as a separate step and clear the flag only on success --
on failure it stays set so the next backend call's return retries it,
no separate retry loop.
needsRejoin is a proper sync/atomic flag rather than a plain bool,
since apiserver (unlike the single-threaded C daemons) serves
concurrent HTTP requests that can all reach the shared helper at once.

- scheduler_wait_job: poll a job to a terminal state or timeout.
- scheduler_analyze_failure: gather job record + output logs for failure
analysis (interpretation left to the LLM).
- scheduler_suggest_resources: conservative processor/node suggestions from
current cluster availability.

free cores (guidance, not a guarantee).

Add WatchJobs(ctx) to the Client interface and HTTPClient: opens the
apiserver's /xce/v1/events SSE stream and yields JobEvent values until the
context is cancelled or the stream ends. JobEvent carries the event type,
job id, status string, exit code, and a raw job snapshot.
Also fix ListJobs' filter params: the apiserver accepts filters via the
"filter" query param in field:op:value form (e.g. queue_name:eq:normal);
the individual queue_name/submit_user params it ignores with a 400, which
broke every filtered list. Multiple conditions are brace-wrapped {a},{b}.

Replaces apiserver's two connect mechanisms -- a per-peer Go loop that
hardcoded nmasters=1 per attempt, and a separate direct-construction
path for the legacy single-host config -- with one pipeline:
buildClusterConfig() parses (via task 4.1's C parser) or synthesizes a
single-candidate config, validates it, then ConfigConverter
(xce_cluster_config_to_client_config) produces the client config for
one xce_backend_init() call. A 3-candidate config now actually
exercises the C library's own failover/standby-redirect handling on
initial connect, matching worker's and scheduler's task 2.1/3.1 work,
instead of a Go-level per-candidate retry loop that never built a real
multi-master config.
Along the way: found and fixed a genuine use-after-free. The deleted
tryConnect() freed its C.CString-allocated host address immediately
after its single connect call returned, but xcecli_ctx_init() stores a
raw pointer to the config forever (client.c:38) and every later
failover rotation re-dereferences it (client_failover.c) -- so any
reconnect after the first would read freed memory. Fixed by giving the
cluster/client config structs package-level, process-lifetime storage
(gClusterCfg/gClientCfg), mirroring worker's and scheduler's file-scope
static pattern, with host/from/key written into fixed-size C arrays
instead of freed heap pointers.

Replaces apiserver's hand-written Go parsePeer() with a CGO wrapper
around the shared C parser+validator pair (xce_parse_peers then
xce_cluster_config_validate, both src/lib/cluster.c) that worker and
scheduler already use from their own main.c's. Gives apiserver the same
[name=]host:port[,...] syntax (including the name= prefix the old Go
parser could not express) and identical malformed-candidate rejection
(empty host, port <= 0, non-numeric port) -- round-1 review caught the
first pass skipping the validate() half, silently accepting inputs
worker/scheduler both reject.
A malformed entry now rejects the whole candidate list rather than
being skipped with a warning (matches xce_parse_peers()'s own
all-or-nothing construction and worker/scheduler's precedent) --
surfaced loudly via RegisterToBackend's error, not silently.
Parsing only -- RegisterToBackend()'s connect loop and tryConnect()
are unchanged; collapsing them into a single connect call is task
4.2's job.

When a user asks to view cluster status (e.g. "看看机器情况"), the LLM saw
non-OK values in the MCP response (a node UNAVAIL, a job PEND/EXIT) and
treated them as incidents — proposing unsolicited diagnostic/repair actions
and referencing "known bugs". The user only wanted a factual status report.
Mitigation at the MCP layer:
- Add server instructions (returned to the client in the initialize
handshake) stating that the status tools return operational snapshots,
that UNAVAIL/PEND/EXIT/UNKWN are normal state, and that the model must
not speculate or propose actions unless the user explicitly asks.
- Append report-only guidance to the scheduler_list_nodes / list_jobs /
cluster_metrics descriptions.
Verified: initialize response carries the 857-char instructions; tools/list
shows the updated descriptions.

GetJobByIDs (GET /xce/v1/jobs/:jobids) built its job_id filter via
ConvertToNewFilterArray into QueryOptions.CompConditions, but ExecuteQuery
only ever applied opts.Conditions and silently dropped CompConditions. Every
per-id job query therefore returned the ENTIRE job table, and the MCP
scheduler_get_job tool returned the first job in the store regardless of the
requested id (observed: get_job(73930445842022400) -> "post-clean").
Fix: add FilterCompConditions (per-field AND, OR across ConditionArrays,
main-condition AND OR(sub-conditions) within an array) and run it in
ExecuteQuery after the flat filter; extract the bitmask-aware per-row match
into rowMatchesCondition shared by FilterRows and FilterCompConditions.
Verified via the MCP server: scheduler_get_job now returns the requested job
(mcp-e2e, EXIT), and the full submit->hold->release->cancel->get cycle still
works.

Two stacked defects in the apiserver job-control link, both of which kept
hold/release/cancel from ever reaching the controller:
1. controllers/jobs.go: validateJobControl and foundJob asserted
jobinfo.Data["array_idx"].(int64), but StoreToOrderMaps produces
array_idx as int (models.JobInfo.ArrayIdx is declared int) -> panic
-> Gin Recovery -> HTTP 500 before backend.ControlJob ran. Add
normalizeJobInt64 / jobArrayIdx helpers and use them in both
functions (job_status already had this fix via normalizeJobStatus;
array_idx was missed).
2. backend/clib.go: backend.ControlJob set xce_jobctrl_t.action to the
models.JOB_* constant (JOB_STOP=1 / JOB_RESUME=2 / JOB_KILL=3 /
JOB_CHKPNT=8), but that field is the capnp JobControl union
discriminant (JobControl_u_siginfo=0 / JobControl_u_ckptoption=1).
The controller's job_ctrl() selected the wrong union branch (or
none, since encode_JobControl drops the union pointer for
non-0/1 discriminants) and rejected every control with -EINVAL.
Add jobCtrlDiscriminant() and use it.
Also: resolveExecUser was defined in the cgo-only convert.go but is
exercised by a non-cgo test, so `make test` (CGO_ENABLED=0) failed to
build the backend package. Move it to convert_pure.go so it compiles in
both modes.
Tests: 3 controller regression tests (validateJobControl allowed /
not-allowed branches, foundJob array-child branch) + 1 backend
jobCtrlDiscriminant test. make test fully green. Cluster E2E verified:
hold -> PSUSP, release -> PEND, cancel -> EXIT on a PEND job, no 500,
no -EINVAL, all daemons healthy.

`xcecli jobs list -a` returned "no job found" even when jobs existed.
FilterRows routes every condition on a bitmask field (job_status /
host_status) to MatchesBitmaskCondition, which only implemented OpEQ/OpNE
bitmask semantics — the `-a` filter compiles to `job_status notnull`
(OpNOTNULL), which fell through to `return false` and filtered out every
job. (The default list's `notin(EXIT,DONE)` is compiled to OpEQ(mask), so
it was unaffected.)
Add OpISNULL/OpNOTNULL branches to MatchesBitmaskCondition that test the
raw field value. New query_test.go: 3 regression tests (notnull matches
all, null matches none, bitmask notin path unaffected), RED->GREEN.
Verified live: `xcecli jobs list -a` now lists all jobs including DONE.

tryConnect built the xce_client_config_t with C.CString(host/from/key), then a
defer freed all three. But xcecli_ctx_init stores the config POINTER
(ctx->conf = config), not a copy — client_failover.c dereferences
config->masters/from/key for the client's ENTIRE lifetime (e.g.
xce_failover_next_target strncpy's a master host on every write-fail/redirect).
Freeing the strings left config->masters[0] dangling → ASAN heap-use-after-free
(strncpy in the background C thread) after a few submits.
Fix: keep the three C strings for the process lifetime (tryConnect runs once at
startup, gCtx is a process-global); free them only on the init-failure path.
Verified: 6 consecutive job submits, apiserver stays up, 0 ASAN errors
(previously crashed after ~2-3 submits).

modelJobToSubmit built the C job_startinfo_t without setting execuser, so the
controller forwarded a NULL execuser in the startjob request and the worker
ran every job as "nobody". Now the submit carries the resolved exec user: an
explicit exec_user wins, otherwise the job runs as the submitting user.
- add resolveExecUser() (plain-Go, unit-testable) + TestResolveExecUser
- set si.execuser in modelJobToSubmit, free it in freeJobSubmit
Note: deploying this exposed an ASAN heap-use-after-free in the apiserver's
submit/notification path (strncpy reading freed memory); the fix is committed
but needs the memory-lifecycle investigation before it can ship safely.

The apiserver returns list rows in OrderMap columnar form —
{"Fields":["col",...],"Data":{"col":val,...}} — but the read clients
unmarshalled each row as a flat object, so every field came back empty
(counts were right, values were all zero/"").
Fix: decode rows as apiRow{Fields, Data map[string]json.RawMessage} and
pull named fields out of Data via rowStr/rowInt/rowInt64/rowFloat helpers.
ListNodes, ListQueues, and getJobs (ListJobs/GetJob) all use apiRow now.
TDD: 3 new ordermap_test.go tests built from live-captured apiserver
response shapes (red: fields empty → green: parsed). Live-verified against
t1: node name=t1 cores=8, 4 queues active, 3 jobs with real fields.

Three fixes found during scheduler-agent Phase 1 cluster verification:
- whitelist.go: add /xce/v1/apikeys to WhitelistPOSTURL (Phase 0 added the
route but never whitelisted it → 403 "URL is not allowed"). bug-1489.
- jobs.go: fix job_status int64 assertion in job control. store.Jobs returns
status as int/float64; the `.(int64)` assertion broke control with
"job_status is not an int64". Add normalizeJobStatus() accepting int/int32/
int64/float64/json.Number.
- rbac.yaml: mcp_operator role gains queue:control (the job-control handler
also checks queue:control on the job's queue); add rbac_mcp_operator_test.

rshen/Letmein was a live, checked-in cluster_admin credential in
auth.yaml. Renamed to a non-identifying username with a clearly-marked
placeholder password.
docs: add full ops deployment guide (src/docs/deployment.md)
Covers building and running all four daemons plus xceadmin, based on
direct source verification (CLI flags, config file shapes, TLS posture)
and a live single-node deploy. Documents real production gaps (no
process supervision, plaintext non-controller traffic, exposed dev
creds) rather than treating the repo as a finished runbook.
The apiserver backend connects to the controller, which defaults
to port 9990 (XCE_CONTROLLER_DEFAULT_PORT). The value 9901 had no
references in the codebase and was likely a debug/testing artifact.

bug-1463: commit 94f50ce6 (bug-1453 CA-cert-plumbing removal) missed
GetJobOutput's dead tls.Config/loadRootCAs block in request.go, plus
peek.go's SetRootCAs call and serverInfo.CACert field access (the
field no longer exists on APIServerInfo) -- broke the xcecli build.
Removed all three dangling references. Also enabled NewAPIClient's
previously-commented-out InsecureSkipVerify TLS config, since no
xcecli method set any TLS config at all -- any https:// apiserver URL
would have failed cert verification, not just GetJobOutput. Matches
bug-1453's documented design (server-side TLS only, no peer
verification, mTLS deferred as P3 hardening).
Documented both the api-server (http+https) and controller
(server-side-cert-only, no client certs) TLS postures in
.kiro/steering/security.md, replacing a stale line claiming TLS is
handled at the network layer, plus a follow-up note for the planned
HAProxy TLS-termination reverse proxy once its cert type and
apiserver's own listener fate are decided.
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.
bug-1453: remove unused client-side CA-certificate plumbing. C-side:
drop ca_cert_path from xce_cluster_config_t, do_connect()'s ca_cert
param, --ca-cert flags on worker/scheduler, and controller's cert
population (TLS is server-side only, SSL_VERIFY_NONE everywhere on
the client side already, verified zero SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations
calls in the C tree). Go-side: delete xcecli's self-signed cert
TOFU-pinning flow (cmd/auth/cert/*), CACert field, SetRootCAs/
loadRootCAs, and every call site.
bug-1454: fix xcecli_ctx_t leak in scheduler.c sched_init() — the
unconditional initial ctx_init was never freed before the HA
candidate loop re-initialized it on the first iteration.
bug-1455: sched_init()'s memset(sched, 0, ...) was silently wiping
sched->cluster_cfg that main.c had populated from --peers just before
calling sched_init(), so --peers was always ignored and the scheduler
fell back to the hardcoded localhost:9990 single-host default.
Restructured sched_init() to take cluster_cfg as an explicit parameter
(assigned after the memset) instead of relying on caller-side
ordering with a separate sched_set_cluster_cfg() setter, which is now
removed.
bug-1456: revert an unsafe stack-local xce_client_config_t introduced
while fixing bug-1455 — xcecli_ctx_init() stores that pointer as
ctx->conf and client_failover.c dereferences it for the ctx's entire
life (runtime reconnect), so a per-loop-iteration stack copy would
dangle the moment sched_init() returned. Back to mutating the
caller-owned, process-lifetime config in place.
Verified: full ASAN build (all components), meson test suite 9/9 OK,
manual scheduler testsuite 15/15, Go build/vet/test all pass.
Cross-daemon integration test, test-only, spanning the scheduler (C)
and API-server (Go/CGO) receive paths built in tasks 5.1-5.4/5.3b.
Drives real xce_encode()/xce_decode() wire bytes through the actual
production dispatch chain on both daemons -- extract_data() ->
scheduler_req_handler() -> sched_handle_dataset() ->
sched_on_job_array() and go_push_handler() -> handleDataset() ->
cJobArrayToModels()/dispatchJobArray() -- skipping only vtask_entry()'s
~10 lines of static glue, mirrored verbatim in test code (the
if (callnext) treats-any-nonzero-as-proceed behavior that caused
5.3b's bug is reproduced exactly).
Redelivery is tested via genuinely independent fresh decodes of
separately-encoded bytes, not a decode-once-call-twice shortcut.
Bug-catching capability proven by temporarily reverting task 5.3b's
fix and confirming both the C and Go tests fail meaningfully, then
restoring to green -- confirmed independently by both the implementer
and reviewer.
Task 5.5 of job-array-single-wal-record (Requirements 6.1-6.5, 8.4).
This completes Phase 5 (Compact Scheduler/API-Server Push).
Adds the Go/CGO receive path for Data.jobArray, mirroring task 5.3's
scheduler-side C implementation: rawJobArrayToModels() (pure-Go
base_jobid + i expansion), cJobArrayToModels() (CGO adapter sibling to
cJobToModel), dispatchJobArray() (dedup via the same store.Jobs.Has()
the ordinary Data_data_jobs path already writes through, single
confirmation log only when at least one element was newly
dispatched), and a new case C.Data_data_jobArray in handleDataset.
Elements route through OnJobUpdated, matching the ordinary single-job
push's own routing. The CGO boundary needed no changes -- both
C.xce_job_submit_t and C.Data_data_jobArray were already exposed from
prior tasks, including task 5.3b's extract_data() fix which this
receive path depends on identically to the scheduler's.
store.ArrayJobs (the array-level rollup aggregate) is deliberately
left unpopulated -- confirmed out of this spec's scope, deferred to a
future spec per requirements.md's Boundary Context.
Task 5.4 of job-array-single-wal-record (Requirements 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 8.4).
