Summary

This PR makes the runner treat a step that repeats without a limit as a continuous step. It records samples, coalesces status writes and bounds the step logs. It also lets a run skip the end-of-run handlers and carry outputs for skipped steps. A synthetic data tool is added.

Why

PR 1 gives the samples store and PR 2 gives the run state fields. This PR connects them to execution. PR 4 builds the intake, CLI and API on top of it.

Changes

  • Continuous steps (internal/runtime/continuous.go)
    • isContinuousStep, and continuousStep with beforeExecution, afterExecution, record, track, reportDue, close. The store opens at the first sample. A store that cannot open is skipped for the run.
    • Status is written about once a minute and at once on a change of state.
    • boundedLogs keeps each step log within 4 segments of 2 MiB by dropping the oldest segment. lastStderrLine gives the failure message.
  • Runner (runner.go, node.go, data.go)
    • New config AttemptDir and SkipHandlers. With SkipHandlers, all handlers except init are skipped.
    • Repeat and timeout logs of continuous steps go to debug level.
    • Data.SetContinuous, and ClampStartedAt with clampStartToDependencies and clampDependentStarts: a step never starts before the finish of its dependencies.
  • Agent (agent/agent.go): passes AttemptDir, SkipHandlers, Ephemeral and ReusedInputs to the runner and the status.
  • Seeding (transform/seed.go): SeedNodesCarrying carries outputs only for the named steps. The node state keeps Continuous.
  • Tool: internal/samples/cmd/synth/main.go fills a store with years of synthetic samples and creates the DAG and run that the UI needs.
  • Specs: specs/013-step-run.md adds Selected Step Runs, handlers, reused inputs and ephemeral runs. specs/002-yaml-schema.md has a one-line change.

How to review

  1. Read the new sections of specs/013-step-run.md.
  2. Read continuous.go from newContinuousStep to close.
  3. Read the runner.go diff.
  4. Read SeedNodesCarrying and the synth tool.

Pay most attention to these places:

  • The status write rule in reportDue: a change of state must be written at once, a plain repeat must not.
  • boundedLogs edits files in place between executions. Check that no writer is active then.
  • Handler skipping must keep the init handler.

Tests

  • internal/runtime/continuous_test.go: coalesced status, write on change, sample recording, limited repeat, bounded logs.
  • internal/runtime/runner_test.go, runner_internal_test.go, runner_helper_test.go: step times follow dependencies, start clamp.
  • internal/runtime/node_internal_test.go, transform/node_test.go: node state.

Screenshots

No visible UI change in this PR.
The run view of continuous steps appears in a later UI PR of the stack.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Continuous repeating steps now record execution samples, including start time, duration, and exit status, and report status changes and retries promptly.
    • Selected-step runs can reuse prior outputs or supplied values, and can skip lifecycle handlers other than initialization when no graph end step is specified.
    • Ephemeral selected-step runs are excluded from default listings and are automatically removed after ending.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Step start times are now kept from preceding their dependencies’ completion.
    • Continuous-step logs are bounded while retaining recent failure output for troubleshooting.

- Around line 2149-2152: Update the continuous-step wait flow around
waitForExecution and reportDue to emit periodic status reports at least every 60
seconds during repeat intervals longer than a minute. Keep the wait in place
until the scheduled repeat time so reporting does not start another execution
early.

Review comments at @specs/013-step-run.md:
- Line 381: Update selectedStepsStart and intake.SeedRequest to carry the
validated ephemeral choice into SeedRun; apply it to attempt creation and the
queued status with WithEphemeral before launching the run.
- Line 301: Carry the documented outputsFromRuns mapping through the
selected-step start flow: validate per-step source run IDs, load those runs, and
seed each skipped step from its designated source while preserving the existing
default source behavior.

Walkthrough

This pull request adds runtime support for continuous repeating steps, including sample recording, status reporting, and bounded logs. It also updates selected-step run metadata and handler behavior, adds a synthetic sample command, and changes initial status timestamp formatting.

Changes: Selected-step runs and ephemeral storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Selected-step inputs and run status
internal/runtime/agent/agent.go, internal/runtime/transform/seed.go, specs/013-step-run.md
Agent status paths copy ephemeral, handler-skipping, and reused-input fields. Seeded skipped steps can retain carried state. The specification describes selected-step inputs and validation, reused-input provenance, and ephemeral-run behavior.
Selected-step handler behavior
internal/runtime/agent/agent.go, internal/runtime/runner.go, internal/runtime/runner_helper_test.go, internal/runtime/runner_test.go, specs/002-yaml-schema.md, specs/013-step-run.md
Runner configuration can suppress lifecycle handlers after steps while retaining initialization. Agent retry configuration and tests cover handler selection. The specifications describe when post-step handlers run.

Continuous-step execution and samples

Layer / File(s) Summary
Continuous state and runner integration
internal/runtime/data.go, internal/runtime/runner.go, internal/runtime/transform/node.go, internal/runtime/transform/seed.go, internal/runtime/agent/agent.go, internal/runtime/node.go, internal/runtime/node_internal_test.go, internal/runtime/runner_internal_test.go, internal/runtime/runner_test.go
Runtime state tracks continuous steps and clamps start times against dependency finishes. The runner receives the attempt directory and continuous-sample configuration. Node conversion preserves continuous state, and tests cover timestamp handling.
Sample reporting and bounded logs
internal/runtime/continuous.go, internal/runtime/continuous_test.go, internal/runtime/runner.go
Unlimited repeating steps record execution outcomes and schedule status updates around failure, recovery, and retries. The runtime bounds local logs and extracts failure messages from current execution output. Tests cover recording, reporting cadence, and log handling.
Synthetic sample generation
internal/samples/cmd/synth/main.go
The new command creates a repeating health-check DAG and run, then generates time-ordered samples with latency patterns and failures. It writes the requested run and node status.

Initial status timestamp formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Initial status timestamp
internal/service/coordinator/handler.go
Initial status now formats its UTC start time with stringutil.FormatTime.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 1c805

The runtime changes for continuous steps and selected-step runs are mostly in place. The spec and the selected-step start path do not match yet: skip-handlers, reused-input provenance, per-step source runs, supplied-output validation, and ephemeral runs are documented but not wired through the start path. Long-interval continuous steps can also miss the promised once-a-minute status write. Resolve these, or mark them as coming in a later stacked PR, before merging.

The "Continuous step recovered" log overcounts failed samples by one.

failedCount is set to 0 when the outage starts. Line 219 then increments it for the first failed sample and for each later failed sample. When the recovery sample arrives, failedCount already equals the number of failed samples. The +1 makes the failed-samples attribute one too high. A single failed execution is logged as 2.

Send doneCh after timestamp finalization.

isReady checks only dependency status. It can queue a dependent after the parent sends doneCh but before finishNode calls node.Finish(). The dependent can then report a status with its start time before the dependency's FinishedAt is available. wg.Wait() protects only final run completion.

Validate --interval and the time window before writeDAG creates the DAG file.

run writes the DAG file and creates the run before samples.Backfill checks its options. Backfill rejects these inputs after both writes:

  • An interval that is not a whole number of milliseconds.
  • An interval that neither divides a minute nor is a whole number of minutes, such as --interval 7s.
  • A window where start is not before rawStart, such as --years 0.001.

The command then exits with an error and leaves the DAG file and the run on disk. A rerun stops at writeDAG with "exists already", so the user must delete the files by hand.

Check the same rules that Backfill applies, before writeDAG runs. Do not add a whole-second rule. Backfill accepts a sub-second interval, such as 500ms, when it is a whole number of milliseconds and divides a minute.

Review comment at @internal/samples/cmd/synth/main.go around lines 80 - 89:
In the run flow, validate the interval using the same rules as samples.Backfill
before calling writeDAG: it must be positive, a whole number of milliseconds,
and either divide a minute or be a whole number of minutes; do not require whole
seconds. Also reject the time window unless start is before rawStart, so invalid
options leave no DAG file or run on disk.

- `outputsSources` names the run that each step of `outputs` was captured from. It is an object keyed by step name or ID. Each value has `runId` and an optional `capturedAt`. It requires `steps`.

- Every step in `outputs` MUST have an entry in `outputsSources`. A step in `outputs` with no entry is rejected with HTTP 400 and the message `outputs for step X must name the run they come from (outputsSources)`. An entry for a step that is not in `outputs` is also rejected with HTTP 400.

Require source metadata before accepting supplied outputs.

If a client sends steps and outputs without outputsSources, the selected-step entrypoint accepts the values and seeds the run. That contradicts this required HTTP 400 response and leaves the supplied values without the specified source record. Add outputsSources to the request path and validate its entries before seeding. The reviewed entrypoint passes only steps, outputsFromRunId, and outputs into selection. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Report periodic status during long repeat waits.

If a continuous step has a repeat interval longer than 60 seconds, waitForExecution blocks before this periodic reportDue check. A ten-minute interval leaves doneCount and other status data unchanged for ten minutes, although the continuous-run contract requires a status write at most every 60 seconds while the step repeats. Schedule periodic reports during the wait without starting another execution early. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Comment thread specs/013-step-run.md

- `outputsFromRunId` names a finished run of the same DAG. Its step outputs and work directory are carried into the skipped steps that a selected step depends on. It requires `steps`.

- `outputsFromRuns` names, for single skipped steps, the run that the step carries its outputs from. It is an object that maps a step name or ID to a run ID. It requires `steps`.

Connect outputsFromRuns to the selected-step start path.

If a request names a different source run for one skipped step, the API cannot pass that choice to seeding. stepSelection contains only steps, outputsFrom, and outputs; startSelectedSteps reads at most one source run. The documented per-step override therefore cannot work. Add per-step sources to request validation, source loading, and node seeding. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

#### Ephemeral Runs

`ephemeral` is an optional boolean, `false` by default. A request with `ephemeral: true` runs the selected steps in a run that leaves no trace.

Persist the ephemeral choice when creating a selected-step run.

If a client requests ephemeral: true, the selected-run path has no field for that choice in selectedStepsStart or intake.SeedRequest. SeedRun creates its queued status without WithEphemeral, so this path cannot create the run described here. Carry the validated choice into attempt creation and the queued status before launching the run. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Use a tagged switch on the store directory, and mark the synthetic
data generator's seeded RNG and four-result helper as intended.
Write a failed or recovered execution before the repeat wait, warn
once while the sample store keeps failing, finish the dependent clamp
before the run can end, and leave alone the times of a dependent that
did not run in this attempt.
Use the attempt directory that the store gives instead of globbing its
layout, and mark the node continuous as the runner does.
--outputs-from carries only the skipped steps that the selected steps
depend on, and an ephemeral run follows the handler rule of any
selected-steps run.
The recovered log of a continuous step added one to a count that
already held every failed sample of the outage, so one failure was
logged as two.

A node told the runner loop that it was done before its finish time
was set, so a dependent could start, and be reported, before that
time existed. The node now finishes and clamps its dependents first,
and only then lets the loop queue them.

The synth tool wrote the DAG and the run before Backfill rejected an
interval or a window, and a rerun then stopped on the existing files.
It now checks the same rules first.
A sample of a failed execution without standard error took its message
from the execution error, unmasked, so a secret in a URL reached the
sample store, its events and the scheduler log. The message is now
masked as the step log is.

An inline retry waited for its backoff before the sample was taken, so
the duration held the wait, and a stop during the wait dropped the
failure. The sample is now taken before the wait.

A first execution that failed did not count as a change of state, so
its status waited for the repeat interval. It is now written at once,
as spec 083 states.
