Summary

  • connect the existing sandbox bridge WebSocket before repository setup and OpenCode startup
  • use WebSocket heartbeats as the renewable startup-liveness signal
  • make the existing ready event the authoritative execution grant
  • keep prompts pending until the current authenticated socket announces ready
  • gate push and diff commands on execution readiness while keeping stop and shutdown available during boot
  • defer bridge session, manifest, and signing initialization until OpenCode is healthy
  • preserve late-connect compatibility behind a temporary default-off activation flag
  • remove the temporary HTTP boot-progress endpoint and polling loop

Workflow

  1. The supervisor starts the bridge before interactive repository boot when EARLY_SANDBOX_CONNECTION=1.
  2. The bridge connects through the existing sandbox WebSocket and sends booting heartbeats.
  3. The control plane persists connecting, treats the socket as control-only, and leaves queued prompts pending.
  4. Repository setup and OpenCode startup continue while the bridge remains connected.
  5. After OpenCode health, session restoration, manifest loading, and signing initialization complete, the bridge sends the existing ready event.
  6. The control plane verifies the current sender, persists ready, starts normal monitoring, and drains the queue.
  7. Every replacement connection returns to connecting and must reannounce ready.

Design Boundaries

  • no new WebSocket endpoint or protocol version
  • no database migration or new sandbox status
  • no boot phases or durable failure-ack protocol
  • no shared event-schema, web UI, provider-specific, or Modal API changes
  • persisted connecting/ready is the only execution-readiness state
  • snapshot reconnects receive retryable 503 until snapshot completion

Rollout

  • early_sandbox_connection defaults to false
  • deploy readiness-aware control-plane behavior first
  • deploy the early-capable runtime with activation off
  • enable the flag for a canary environment/provider, then expand
  • late mode preserves compatibility with older control planes

Validation

  • workspace TypeScript typecheck
  • control-plane production build
  • control-plane unit: 219 files, 3,350 tests
  • control-plane integration: 82 files, 1,015 tests
  • sandbox runtime: 787 tests, excluding the known Git-version-dependent signer suite
  • TDD regression coverage for admission, queued prompts, reconnects, sender fencing, hibernation, snapshots, heartbeat renewal, bridge initialization, startup crash/restart, graceful shutdown, and rollout compatibility
  • ESLint and Prettier
  • Ruff lint and format checks
  • git diff --check

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds authenticated sandbox boot-progress reporting. The control plane decodes session IDs, persists boot liveness, exposes the internal endpoint, and applies liveness-aware timeout and startup fencing.

Changes

Boot progress lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decoded session routing and authentication
packages/control-plane/src/routes/*, packages/control-plane/src/router.auth.test.ts
Session IDs are decoded before Durable Object lookup. The boot-progress proxy route authenticates sandbox requests and forwards JSON bodies.
Boot-progress endpoint and runtime reporter
packages/control-plane/src/session/contracts.ts, packages/control-plane/src/session/http/*, packages/control-plane/src/session/durable-object.ts, packages/sandbox-runtime/src/sandbox_runtime/supervisor.py, packages/sandbox-runtime/tests/*
The session endpoint validates and records progress. The sandbox supervisor reports progress during startup and stops reporting before bridge startup and during cleanup.
Boot liveness persistence and schema
packages/control-plane/src/session/schema.*, packages/control-plane/src/session/types.ts, packages/control-plane/src/session/sandbox-repository.*
Sandbox rows store nullable boot-progress timestamps. Repository operations fence progress, timeout failure, and provider startup updates by identity, status, and liveness.
Liveness-aware lifecycle decisions and startup commits
packages/control-plane/src/sandbox/lifecycle/*
Timeout calculations use recent boot progress while enforcing a 15-minute absolute boot limit. Atomic provider startup commits reject stale results and clean up discarded provider sandboxes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ebb65

This change makes startup watchdog behavior progress-aware, but the current implementation can still allow stale resume results to overwrite provider data and can leave watchdog or lifecycle cleanup paths ineffective during failures. Merge should be blocked until the resume-attempt fencing and related timeout and cleanup failure paths are corrected.

Summary
PR #1581, “Make sandbox startup watchdog progress-aware” by @ColeMurray. Reviewed 24 changed files (+935/-113); the change adds authenticated boot-progress reporting, persists liveness in the Session DO, and fences startup commits/timeouts by sandbox identity. Overall this looks correct and well covered.

Critical Issues
None found.

Suggestions
None blocking. The main residual risk is operational: if progress delivery itself is disrupted, the watchdog intentionally falls back to the existing stale/missing-progress timeout behavior.

Positive Feedback

  • Good use of sandbox-token authentication at the public route and server-side timestamping in the DO, so callers cannot spoof liveness timestamps.
  • The storage updates are parameterized and fenced by logical sandbox identity plus boot state, which addresses late provider results and stale alarms cleanly.
  • Tests cover the important race cases: stale progress rejection, liveness-based re-arming, timeout fencing, late provider result discard, and runtime reporting cancellation before bridge startup.

Questions
None.

Verdict
Approve.

[deep review] The startup watchdog no longer has an absolute upper bound: periodic runtime liveness is treated as forward progress, so a permanently hung boot can refresh the deadline forever. The inline comment describes the required state-model correction.

Rename timeSinceLastSpawn to match its new meaning.

The value no longer measures time since the spawn. It measures time since the most recent liveness signal, which is either the creation time or the boot-progress time. The function uses the same variable in three unrelated branches: the stale-boot check, the ready reconnect wait, and the spawn cooldown. A name such as timeSinceLivenessMs keeps those branches readable.

♻️ Proposed rename
-  const timeSinceLastSpawn = now - Math.max(state.createdAt, state.bootProgressAt ?? 0);
+  const timeSinceLivenessMs = now - Math.max(state.createdAt, state.bootProgressAt ?? 0);

Update the four later reads at the stale-boot check, the ready wait branch, and the cooldown branch.

Model preserveMissing in the commitProviderStartup mock.

The repository implementation branches on preserveMissing. When it is false, absent endpoint values overwrite the stored columns with NULL. This mock ignores the flag and only assigns fields that the caller supplies, so it always behaves as preserveMissing: true. No current assertion depends on the difference, but a future test that checks a field is cleared on a non-preserving commit will pass here and fail against SandboxRepository.commitProviderStartup.

Guard the progress loop against non-httpx.HTTPError exceptions.

_report_boot_progress catches only httpx.HTTPError. Other exceptions, for example httpx.InvalidURL from a malformed CONTROL_PLANE_URL, propagate out of _boot_progress_loop and end the task. _stop_boot_progress gathers with return_exceptions=True, so the failure is never logged. The control plane then sees no progress and fails the boot at the connecting timeout.

Catch Exception in the loop so one failed report does not stop periodic reporting.

Cover the rejection path of the fenced updates.

createMockSql returns rowsWritten: 1 for every statement. Every fenced method therefore returns true in these tests. The false branch of recordBootProgress, failBootIfUnchanged, and commitProviderStartup is what protects against stale sandbox identities, and it is never exercised here.

Make rowsWritten configurable and add one case per method that asserts false.

♻️ Proposed test-helper change
-function createMockSql() {
+function createMockSql(rowsWritten = 1) {
   const calls: Array<{ query: string; params: unknown[] }> = [];

Reset boot_progress_at in the lifecycle mock.

The mock records progress at Lines 184-194, but updateSandboxForSpawn and updateSandboxForResume do not clear sandbox.boot_progress_at. A test that reuses or backdates the mock sandbox can carry stale liveness into a new startup and miss a reset regression. Set this field to null in both update methods.

This keeps the mock aligned with the PR objective that boot liveness resets for every spawn and resume.

Addressed the latest CodeRabbit outside-diff findings in 58b098d: spawn/resume mocks now reset boot progress, discarded resume results retain the known provider ID for cleanup, atomic commit errors trigger best-effort cleanup, and all late-provider stops use the bounded abort/timeout path. Added focused coverage for no-replacement resumes, commit failures, and hung cleanup.

982-990: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Fence each resume attempt with an attempt identity.

resumeSandbox() retains modal_sandbox_id. Line 986 passes only that identifier to commitProviderStartup.

If a connecting timeout starts another resume, updateSandboxForResume() changes created_at but retains the same logical sandbox ID. A late result from the first resume then satisfies the commit fence. It can overwrite the provider object ID or access data for the second resume.

Pass an attempt ID or expected created_at through ProviderStartupData. Require that value in the atomic commitProviderStartup condition. Add a regression test where the first resume resolves after the second resume starts.

Addressed the final CodeRabbit outside-diff finding in c940cb9. Atomic provider startup persistence now fences on both logical sandbox ID and the attempt created_at. A regression test runs overlapping resumes through separate manager instances and verifies the late first result is discarded/stopped while only the current attempt commits.

All blocking findings are resolved on c940cb9. The watchdog now combines stale-liveness and absolute boot deadlines, provider cleanup is bounded and failure-safe, and provider startup persistence is fenced by logical sandbox plus attempt timestamp. Required checks are green.
