bug-1878: ctrlstatus reports appliedLsn 0 on the primary (standby-only counter)
Description
Observed:
xce/client>ctrlstatus
Primary: ctrl-1
...
answered by ctrl-1 (primary)
term: 2
committedLsn: 4900
appliedLsn: 0
(pc13v, 2026-09-28 14:56; locally: committedLsn 2, appliedLsn 0) Expected: the primary's real apply position, next to its committed position. Impact: every primary's ctrlstatus says it has applied nothing, which reads like a stalled apply pump; operators and scripts comparing applied vs committed get a false alarm. The data path itself is fine. Found by: user running xce_test ctrlstatus on pc13v after the bug-1872..1877 retest
Environment
- OS: no /etc/os-release; Docker container; NixOS kernel; kernel Linux 6.18.33 x86_64
- libc: glibc 2.42-47 (interpreter /nix/store/wb6rhpznjfczwlwx23zmdrrw74bayxw4-glibc-2.42-47/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
- Toolchain: gcc (GCC) 15.2.0, meson 1.9.1
- Build: asan (xce.build)
- Code: scheduler-framework @
44173f74(controller unchanged since; pc13v ran4c134127) - Deployment: local 3-node HA (localhost:9991-9993, src/tools/deploy-ha.sh, nodes started 1 s apart by start-all.sh, xcecd_virtual) on this dev host; first seen on pc13v: NixOS 26.05, kernel 6.18.33, glibc 2.42-47, debug build, 3-node HA (ctrl-1..3, localhost:9901-9903) + scheduler + apiserver + real root xcecd, /tmp/xce-ha-deploy, 2026-09-28 14:47 +0800
Reproduction
- Deploy and start a 3-node HA cluster (
/xce-deploy-ha, thenscripts/start-all.sh) xce_test --norc, thenset masters ctrl1=localhost:9991,ctrl2=localhost:9992,ctrl3=localhost:9993,client,ctrlstatus
- Frequency: deterministic (any primary)
- Evidence: the ctrlstatus output quoted above (pc13v, pasted in the user's report) and the local run, 2026-09-28
Root cause
ctrlstatus_fill() (src/controller/ctrlstatus.c:178) sets appliedLsn from ha->applied_lsn for every role. That counter (ha.h:161, "Standby: last applied WAL LSN") is only advanced when a standby applies replicated entries; ha_init() zeroes it and nothing advances it on a primary. The primary's apply cursor is persist->last_applied_lsn, which ctrlstatus never reads. The two use different conventions: ha->applied_lsn is the NEXT lsn to apply (entry->lsn+1, ha.h:969), persist->last_applied_lsn the last applied entry -- a fix has to report one convention for both roles.
Fix
TODO: required for fixed/partial

- Suites: TODO: suite results and build profile
- Live: TODO: soak/deploy run, or n/a and why
