fix(host-service): classify a deliberate worker abort as a non-500 - #7329
Conversation
The worker pool gives up on a task on purpose in three situations — host-service shutdown, a newer request superseding this one, and the caller's abort signal firing, which tRPC does the moment the desktop drops the connection. All three reached the tRPC boundary as INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, the one code sentryMiddleware reports on. Give WorkerTaskAbortedError the discriminated `kind` the desktop copy already carries, and switch on it exhaustively where the rejection is translated. Timeouts, worker crashes, and errors thrown by the task handler itself keep their 500 and keep reporting.

Require a WorkerTaskAbortedError instance before translation.
Inline task handlers retain their original errors. A handler can throw an Error with name === "WorkerTaskAbortedError" and kind === "cancelled". This code then converts that real handler failure into CLIENT_CLOSED_REQUEST.
WorkerTaskError only protects errors serialized from the worker-thread path. Import WorkerTaskAbortedError as a runtime value and use instanceof before reading kind. Add a regression test for an inline-mode impostor error.
Proposed fix
import {
- type WorkerTaskAbortedError,
+ WorkerTaskAbortedError,
WorkerTaskError,
} from "../workers/WorkerTaskRunner";
if (error instanceof WorkerTaskError) return;
- if (!(error instanceof Error)) return;
- if (error.name !== "WorkerTaskAbortedError") return;
+ if (!(error instanceof WorkerTaskAbortedError)) return;
- const kind = (error as WorkerTaskAbortedError).kind;
+ const kind = error.kind;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Problem
The host worker pool rejects an in-flight task with
WorkerTaskAbortedErrorin three ordinary lifecycle situations, and all three arrived at the tRPC boundary asINTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR— the only thingsentryMiddlewarelooks at:usage.leaderboardPayloadin a 30-procedure batch (HOST-SERVICE-3N, 66 events) and standalone (HOST-SERVICE-59, 2 events).dispose()rejects whatever each slot was holding (HOST-SERVICE-5K, 1 event,git.getStatus).User-visible harm. For (1) and (3), none — nobody is waiting for the answer (all three issues report
Users Impacted: 0and HTTP 200). The cost is ours: together this family is the largest recurring non-bug reporter in host-service, still accruing at ~51 events/14d, and archiving the biggest of the three did not stop it.For (2) the harm is real.
hostServiceQueryRetryin the renderer retries only whatisHostServiceConnectionErroraccepts, which isSERVICE_UNAVAILABLE/BAD_GATEWAY. Its own doc comment says it exists "so a query in flight during a host-service restart self-heals instead of settling into a permanent 'Failed to fetch' that only a manual 'Try again' click clears". Because the shutdown rejection was codedINTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, that retry never fired for exactly the case it was built for: in HOST-SERVICE-5K the host-service went down 8s after start on a freshly booted machine and the open pane'sgit.getStatusfailed permanently instead of retrying.Root cause
WorkerTaskAbortedErrorcarried no discriminator, so the boundary had no way to tell a deliberate abort from a failure without matching on our own message text. It fell through to the default 500.The desktop copy of this class already solved this and is ratified:
apps/desktop/src/lib/trpc/workers/WorkerTaskRunner.tsdeclareskind: "disposed" | "superseded" | "cancelled", andgit-task-runner.tsname-checks and maps it. This finishes the same job on the host-service side.Fix
WorkerTaskAbortedErrortakeskindas its first constructor argument, matching the desktop declaration exactly. All 8 throw sites (6 inWorkerTaskRunner.ts, 2 inhost-worker-pool.ts) pass one. Every message is unchanged.src/trpc/worker-abort.tstranslates it:disposed→SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE,superseded/cancelled→CLIENT_CLOSED_REQUEST, withconst exhaustive: never = kindin the default arm.offLoop()(coversusage.leaderboardPayload,usage.history,settings.branchPrefix) and the existinggit.getStatuscatch.No typed
cause. The consumer that reads this —isHostServiceConnectionError— branches on the tRPC code, so akindon the cause would be maintained for nothing.Naming vs #7210. That PR adds
WORKER_TASK_TIMEOUT_CODE/isWorkerTaskTimeoutonWorkerTaskError.code. This is a sibling on a different class (WorkerTaskAbortedError.kind) with a different field name; the two don't collide and neither depends on the other.What still reports on this path
Everything that is not a deliberate abort:
WorkerTaskError, and with fix(host-service): stop polling a workspace whose git reads keep timing out #7210WorkerTaskTimeoutError+WORKER_TASK_TIMEOUT_CODE.WorkerCrashedError.WorkerTaskErrorcarrying their originalname(GitError,NotGitRepoError, …).rejectQueuedTasks).kind— the default arm throws a plainError, so it stays a 500.Over-match, and what prevents it
Name-checking
error.name === "WorkerTaskAbortedError"would on its own match an error a task handler threw, because the boundary rebuilds errors asWorkerTaskErrorcarrying the originalname.rethrowWorkerTaskAbortreturns early onerror instanceof WorkerTaskErrorbefore the name check, so anything that crossed the worker boundary can never be reclassified — only a locally-constructed abort can. There is no message matching anywhere in this change.Verification
Negative tests were written and run before the change. The four negatives passed pre-change (so they guard rather than ride a general failure) and only the three abort cases were red:
After:
The exhaustiveness guard was proved by temporarily adding a fourth variant:
Biome (formatting fixes applied with
--write, then re-checked clean):Typecheck and the full package suite:
No desktop git code was touched, so
no-main-process-blocking.test.tsis not in scope.Left alone
Adjacent pool call sites that can also abort but are not in the reported family, and so keep their current classification:

Summary by cubic
Reclassifies deliberate worker task aborts so they no longer surface as
INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, the only code Sentry reports. Client hang-ups, host shutdown, and superseded tasks now map toCLIENT_CLOSED_REQUESTorSERVICE_UNAVAILABLE, making shutdown rejections retryable and stopping the largest recurring non-bug Sentry reporter in host-service.Details
WorkerTaskAbortedErrornow carries akinddiscriminator (disposed|superseded|cancelled) matching the desktop declaration.worker-abort.tsmaps kinds to tRPC codes with an exhaustive switch; unrecognized kinds stay 500s via aneverguard.offLoop()and thegit.getStatuscatch; other pool call sites keep their current classification.Written for commit 843357b. Summary will update on new commits.
