|---|---|
Policy contract and validation internal/ir/*, internal/spec/*, internal/cmn/schema/dag.schema.json, specs/080-restart-policy.md, conformance/spec080_restart_policy/* |
Adds restart-policy parsing and validation. Enabled policies require a positive wait, cannot be set in base configuration, and cannot be combined with schedules or DAG-level retry policies. |
Restart attempt state and stop semantics internal/runtime/manager.go, internal/persis/file/dagrun/*, internal/queue/queue_abort.go |
Adds all-history latest-status reads and preserves queued restart attempts as aborted when dequeued. Status updates read uncached state before mutation. |
Restart scheduling and run lifecycle internal/service/scheduler/*, internal/intg/queue/*, internal/intg/distr/* |
Adds a scanner that checks restart-policy DAGs and enqueues due runs with the restart trigger. Tests cover timing, active runs, suspension, stop behavior, worker failure, and scheduler failover. |
Persisted and API representations proto/index/v1/index.proto, internal/persis/file/dag/dagindex/*, internal/persis/dag_repository_list.go, internal/service/frontend/api/v1/transformer.go, internal/service/mcp/*, api/v1/* |
Stores restart policy and wait duration in DAG index entries and returns them in API responses. API schemas and active-DAG filters include restart-policy DAGs. |
CLI restart and trigger behavior internal/cmd/*, conformance/spec080_restart_policy/validate_test.go, llms.txt, skills/dagu/references/cli.md |
The restart command rejects service DAGs based on the current definition or saved DAG snapshot. CLI references describe the restriction and include restart as a trigger type. |
Restart policy UI ui/src/api/v1/schema.ts, ui/src/lib/dagSchedule.ts, ui/src/features/dags/*, ui/src/i18n/staticMessages.ts |
Adds restart-policy labels to DAG details and list views. Service DAGs have a live switch and status display, and restart-triggered runs have a Restart label. |

The stacked PRs will need a rebase on top of this. |

Pushed two more commits so the restart scanner stops reading every service DAG's state each second. It now wakes on run-end events (with a check every 30s in case one gets lost), and only reads the queue right before a restart. Thanks again for this! |
The restart badge of a service DAG showed an English "restart:" prefix in every locale; it now uses the translated "Restart" message. The state next to it read "Live", which suggests a run is alive, something the DAG list does not know. A service DAG that is not suspended now reads "Enabled", and scheduled DAGs keep "Live".
The base.yaml written on first run sets hist_retention_days: 30, and a service DAG inherited it, so the 100-run default never applied. A DAG that restarts every few seconds kept 30 days of runs instead. A hist_retention_days from the base configuration no longer applies to a service DAG. Its own hist_retention_days, and a hist_retention_runs from either place, still do.
A service DAG that crashed on start was restarted every restart_wait_sec forever: with a wait of 1 second it restarted about once a second and filled its history and logs. Each run in a row that does not succeed within 10 seconds of its start now doubles the wait, up to 5 minutes. A success or a longer run resets it. The scanner keeps the count in memory, so a scheduler that takes over starts again from restart_wait_sec.
The scanner read the pause state, the processes, the queue and the latest run of every service DAG every second, even while the DAG waited out its restart wait, when nothing could make its next run due sooner. It now remembers when the next run becomes due and reads nothing until then. An edited restart_wait_sec applies at once.
The runs of a service DAG go through queues. With queues disabled, the scanner warned once per DAG and then never started a run, so a DAG that looked configured did nothing, and the only sign was one log line. The scanner now returns an error for such a DAG at each scan, logged at most every 30 seconds, and the schema says that restart_policy needs queues.
The restart scanner read the DAG's queue and proc group on every scan before it read the latest run. A queue is read item by item, so a service DAG on a shared queue paid for every queued item each second, for as long as its run was active or it stayed stopped. The latest run already shows a queued or running restart, so the queue and processes are read only once a restart is due. The scanner also no longer checks that the restart's ID is free: the enqueue does that, and each check scans the DAG's run history.
The restart scanner read the latest run of every service DAG each second, even while the run stayed active for hours or the DAG stayed stopped. A distributed run leaves no local process, so its DAG paid for that read for as long as the run lasted. The scanner now reads the event store once per scan, which costs the same for any number of DAGs, and checks a DAG only when its run ended, its wait is over, or 30 seconds have passed. The 30-second check covers events lost between a status write and its event. Without an event store, every scan checks every DAG as before.
The restart command read the DAG saved with a run before checking that the run is running, so a finished run whose saved DAG is unreadable failed with a read error instead of saying it is not running. The saved DAG is only needed first to refuse a DAG with a restart policy whose definition is gone; a read error now surfaces only for a run that is running.
The loader reads restart_policy case-insensitively and trims spaces, as spec 080 requires, but the JSON schema only listed the lowercase values, so an editor flagged "Always" as an error in a DAG that loads. The schema keeps the lowercase values for completion and also accepts them in any case.
A run on a distributed worker leaves no process on the scheduler host, so an older run of a service DAG still going on a worker was invisible once a newer run had ended: the scanner queued a restart next to it. Before a restart, the scanner now also looks for a fresh distributed lease of the DAG, the same signal queue concurrency counts.
A latest run left not started counted as active, so its service DAG never restarted. The coordinator records a distributed run as not started until a worker runs it, and a run without an active-run record and without a worker has no repair path. Such a run is now taken for ended five minutes after it was created. A worker or process that still runs it keeps the DAG busy, so a slow start does not get a second run.
When the latest-attempt pointer was unusable, the store looked only at the newest run directory. A run whose creation was cut short has no readable attempt, so the store reported that the DAG had no runs: the restart scanner took a service DAG with history for one that never ran, and the UI showed the DAG as not started. The store now looks past such runs among the newest ten.
The index now stores each DAG's restart policy and wait, but kept version 5. An index written before the upgrade was reused while no DAG file changed, so list views and the active filter missed the policy of DAGs that already set it. Bump the version so that index is rebuilt.
A crash after the attempt of a restart run was created, but before its status was written, left a run without a status. The scanner skipped it, derived the same run ID from the run before it at every scan, and the enqueue failed with no status data each time: the DAG never restarted. Remove such a run and create it again. Only restart runs are replaced, since their ID comes back; only the scheduler holding the lock queues them, so no other creation of the ID is in progress.
A crash after a restart run was stored as queued, but before its queue item was written, left a queued run with nothing to dispatch it. The scanner took it for active and waited for it forever. Once a queued or not started run passes the five minute timeout, and no process, worker lease, queue item or pending dispatch will still start it, the scanner marks it failed with a compare and swap. The DAG then restarts after it like after any ended run, so its history says what happened instead of keeping a run queued that never ran.
An attempt's status file is created when the attempt is opened and stays empty until its first status is written. A crash in between left an attempt that counted as existing but could not be read. For a restart run, the scanner derived its ID again from the run before it, and the enqueue took the run for an existing one and skipped it at every scan: the DAG never restarted. Treat an empty status file like a missing one. The run then has no status, so the restart run is replaced like one whose status file was never created, and lookups skip the attempt instead of failing on it.
A manual start can put a run next to the run of the scheduler, and the older run can end last. The scanner only looked at the newest run, so stopping a manual run left an unless-stopped service down for good once the other run ended, though nobody stopped that run. The wait, the backoff and the restart run ID also came from the wrong run. Once the latest run has ended, look through the recent runs and follow the one that ended last.
A second run of a service DAG means two copies of the service: a port conflict, or a queue consumed twice. The scheduler never starts one, and the restart command is refused for that reason, but a manual start could still put one next to the active run. Refuse start, enqueue and retry, with their API requests and MCP actions, and webhooks, while the latest run is active. With no active run they work, which is how a stopped service comes back. The queue dispatch of a held run, workers and parent runs are not affected. A latest run that cannot be read does not count, so that it cannot keep an operator from bringing the DAG back. Overlap can still come from a start that races with a restart and from runs that predate the policy, so the test of following the run that ended last now sets up its runs before the policy is added.
A crash in the middle of the first status write leaves part of a line. The attempt then counted as existing though it held no status, so the scanner took its restart run for one that already exists and never replaced it, and with the latest pointer gone it hid the runs before it. The service stayed down. A status counts once its line ends with a newline, the same rule the status parser follows.
The check of an API request or a command and the start of the process are apart, so a manual start could race with a restart and both could run. Check again under the process lock, before the attempt is created, so that of two starts that race on a host the second sees the first. A queued run refused this way fails, and the scanner restarts the DAG after the run that ended last.
A run that waits for a worker has no process and no queue item, and is not started, so a manual start could run next to it. Count such a run as active for as long as the scanner leaves it alone. After that it may be left behind by a crash, and the scheduler that would fail it may not be running, so it must not keep an operator from bringing the service back.
The check of a manual run looked at the DAG in hand. A run whose snapshot predates the restart_policy, or a spec in a request that leaves it out, could still run next to the active run. The scheduler follows the current definition, so that decides here too, and the DAG in hand once the definition is gone.
The API code conflicted with the fields that main added to the schema. Generate it from the merged schema.

"Service DAG" is the name dagucloud#3156 and the docs use, and restart_policy comes from Docker Compose, where it belongs to a service. "Always-on" also reads wrong for an unless-stopped DAG that an operator stopped. The API is not released yet, so rename its endpoint, schemas, filter and SSE topic now. They say "service DAG" rather than "service", since /services already names Dagu's own processes.
Closes #3149.
Adds a DAG-level
restart_policy(no,always,unless-stopped) that makesthe scheduler keep one run of a DAG alive.
Behavior
restart_wait_secafter the previous one ends, whatever its status. Runs gothrough the DAG's queue with the trigger type
restart.active run. Neither does anyone else:
dagu start,enqueueandretry, theirAPI requests and MCP actions, and webhooks are refused while the latest run is
active (409 from the API). The current definition decides, also for a run
snapshot or a spec in a request. A run also refuses to start next to the live
process of another run of the DAG on its host, which closes the race between a
manual start and a restart there.
unless-stopped: no run follows a run that an operator stopped. A stop fromdagu stop, the API/UI, or the coordinator for a distributed run leaves anabort request on the attempt, and that is what the scheduler looks at. Other
aborted runs are restarted after the wait: an unmet DAG-level precondition, a
scheduler shutdown with signal propagation, a queued restart dropped while the
DAG was suspended. A manual start brings a stopped service back.
once the wait has elapsed since its latest run ended. Suspending does not stop
the active run, and is the way to stop a service between two runs (
dagu stoponly stops a live run).
restart_wait_secof at least 1; noschedule(any form; anempty one is fine) and no DAG-level
retry_policy; refused in the baseconfiguration, where it would turn every DAG into a service; a warning when no
history retention is set.
dagu restartrefuses a service DAG: it would start a run next to thescheduler's own restart.
failover resumes where the previous scheduler stopped. Restart run IDs are
derived from the run they follow (and are fixed for the first run), so
evaluating a restart twice starts one run.

Notes for reviewers
failing fills its history at one run per wait. There is no backoff in this
version (fixed wait, see feat: DAG-level restart_policy to keep a DAG always running #3149). With a one-second wait, a run that fails at
once restarts about every 3 s, along with its handlers and notifications.

TestTryLoadForDay_StaleIndex_NewAttempt(dagrunindex) is flaky. Itfails in most runs on an unmodified tree here (34 of 40 on
7147afb). Theindex detects a new attempt through the run directory mtime, compared to the
nanosecond, but Linux only moves directory mtimes once per kernel tick (4 ms
at HZ=250). An attempt created within the same tick is not seen.

at the same time collide.
