Summary

A run started directly for a DAG with worker_selector went to the coordinator without saying how it was started, so its Trigger cell on Executions stayed blank. This adds trigger_type to the coordinator Task and records it on the run.

Changes

  • Add trigger_type = 42 to the coordinator Task, regenerated with make proto.

  • Add TriggerType to DispatchTask, an executor.WithTriggerType option, and the conversion both ways.

  • Pass it from each direct start: the API (dispatchStartToCoordinator), the CLI (dispatchToCoordinatorAndWait), the sub-DAG runner (buildStartTask) and the engine (runDistributed). Each uses the value its local path already records.

  • Write it in the coordinator's initial status, in the worker's agent options, and in the worker's load and init failure statuses.

  • A queued run reaches the worker as a retry, so the load and init failure statuses now read the trigger type through a remoteRun.triggerType() accessor that prefers run.retry.triggerType, the same value the agent uses. Before, a queued run that failed before its first step reported unknown (TestHandleRetryLoadErrorKeepsQueuedTrigger, following a review note).

Retry and queued dispatches are otherwise unchanged.

Evidence

Code:

  • The API and CLI dispatch functions passed triggerActor but not triggerType, and remote_handler.go set opts.TriggerType only on the retry branch.
  • ir.ParseTriggerType maps an empty string to TriggerTypeUnknown, so a peer that does not send the field keeps today's value.
  • A queued run is dispatched as a retry and keeps its type through queue.PreservedQueueTriggerType, which is why the queue path was never blank.

Executed:

  • Regression tests failed on assertions before the wiring: TestDispatch_RecordsTriggerType (a real run on worker-a ended with trigger 0, expected 2), TestDispatchTaskAttributionRoundTrips, TestHandler_Poll/WriteInitialStatusPreservesScheduleTime, TestRunnerRunDispatchesWorkflowRequest (expected 4), TestExecuteDAGRun_SuccessfulExecution, TestReportTaskLoadFailurePreservesProfileName, TestReportTaskInitFailurePreservesProfileName, TestDispatchTriggerType, TestManualStartDispatchCarriesTriggerType.
  • At commit a016a3fe on main 4a49538f, these packages pass in full: internal/proto/convert, internal/service/coordinator, internal/service/coordinator/subflow, internal/service/worker, internal/engine, internal/runtime/executor, internal/service/frontend/api/v1. Selected tests pass in internal/cmd (TestDispatch|TestStart) and internal/intg/distr (TestDispatch_, TestExecution_StartCommand, TestExecution_LabelsPropagation).
  • golangci-lint run --new-from-rev=HEAD~1 on the touched packages at the same commit: 0 issues (macOS only).

Inference, not run:

  • During a rolling upgrade, a new coordinator with an old worker, or the reverse, leaves the run with the blank value it has today.
  • A retry that was not queued records no trigger type, locally and on a worker alike, because both use PreservedQueueTriggerType. It is a separate gap, so this PR leaves it alone.

Notes for review

  • The internal/engine line has no test: runDistributed builds its client through a concrete method, so there is no seam to inject one. It mirrors the TriggerTypeManual on the local path in the same file.
  • TestExecution_StartCommand/directStartCommandExecution does not reach a worker. A probe printed worker="local" with a matching selector, so the new test uses dispatchDirect instead, which now takes task options.
  • Not run: the full test suite, make check, make conformance, and the Windows lint.

Summary by cubic

Directly dispatched runs now carry their trigger type through the coordinator, so Executions shows how they started. Workers also preserve queued runs’ trigger type when loading or initialization fails by reading it from retry configuration. Older peers that omit the field retain the unknown value.

Written for commit 9664632. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • DAG run statuses now retain the trigger type across dispatch and execution, including manual and subworkflow-triggered runs.
    • Trigger type is carried through coordinator tasks and reflected in execution and failure statuses.

A run started for a DAG with worker_selector went straight to the
coordinator without saying how it was started, so the Trigger cell on
Executions stayed blank. Only queued runs kept the value, because they
carry it in the status they are dispatched with.

Add trigger_type to the coordinator Task and pass it from every direct
start: the API, the CLI, the sub-DAG runner and the engine. The
coordinator writes it to the initial status and the worker records it on
the run and on load and init failures. Peers that do not send the field
keep today's unknown value.

Walkthrough

This change carries DAG-run trigger types through task creation and protobuf conversion. Coordinators and workers parse trigger types from dispatched tasks and include them in run statuses. Tests cover manual and sub-DAG trigger types across these paths.

Changes: Trigger type propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Task contract and wire conversion
proto/coordinator/v1/coordinator.proto, internal/dispatch/contracts.go, internal/runtime/executor/task.go, internal/proto/convert/dispatch.go, internal/proto/convert/dispatch_test.go
The dispatched task and protobuf include trigger type. A task option sets the value, and conversion maps between IR trigger types and protobuf strings.
Trigger types on dispatched tasks
internal/cmd/start.go, internal/engine/run.go, internal/service/frontend/api/v1/dags.go, internal/service/coordinator/subflow/runner.go, internal/cmd/helper_test.go, internal/intg/distr/worker_hold_test.go, internal/service/coordinator/subflow/runner_test.go, internal/service/frontend/api/v1/dags_start_internal_test.go
CLI, engine, frontend, and subflow task creation paths provide trigger types. Tests check the trigger type on dispatched tasks.
Coordinator initial status
internal/service/coordinator/handler.go, internal/service/coordinator/handler_test.go
The coordinator parses the task trigger type into the initial DAG-run status.
Worker status and agent options
internal/service/worker/remote_handler.go, internal/service/worker/remote_handler_profile_test.go, internal/service/worker/remote_handler_test.go
The worker parses task trigger types into load-failure and initialization-failure statuses and remote agent options. Tests check failure and successful statuses.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to a016a

Directly dispatched runs now carry their trigger type. Queued runs can still lose a known trigger type in load or initialization failure statuses, but that bounded behavior is not worsened by this change. The PR is mergeable.

Explanation

[#3625] The API passes the trigger type through the dispatch task and protobuf conversion. The coordinator records it in the initial status, and the worker records it in run and failure statuses. Tests cover API dispatch, conversion, worker status, and a direct run on a selected worker. The reported test runs passed. The generated protobuf files are excluded from review, but the reviewable schema, conversion, and reported integration test provide independent evidence of the behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

[#3625] The CLI, engine, and sub-DAG changes apply the same trigger-type propagation to other direct dispatch paths. The coordinator and worker status changes and the tests support that propagation. The protobuf changes support the task transport. No unrelated change is evident in the reviewable summary.

- Line 268: Use the preserved trigger type when constructing retry failure
statuses in the remote task handler. Add or reuse a trigger-type accessor on
remoteRun that returns the retry’s known trigger type when available and
otherwise parses the task trigger type, then use it in the relevant
failure-status constructors instead of parsing task.TriggerType directly.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 7 remain after this review.

A queued run reaches the worker as a retry, so its trigger type lives in
the retry config, not in the task. The load and init failure statuses
read only the task, so such a run lost its trigger type when it failed
before its first step. Read it from one place for the agent and both
failure statuses.

Thanks for picking this up, and for handling the queued failure case too. LGTM!
