From 1ed72cd75ea2e89c026d8cbae59d34b4d15149e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mengye Ren Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 13:26:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Session watcher: queue and history verbs answered beside the live session; launch ledger; --why A thread in the attempt (a context manager around every harness run, first leg and wakes alike) polls the syscall channel and answers two new tool verbs within seconds through the sync marker protocol: - queue: the kernel's jobs as the board projects them (every agent's, by agent id), each launch labelled with its author's --why, the pending reason, elapsed/limit, gres, and the GPU lane's node states from sinfo. Rate-limited to one scheduler query per five seconds however often the marker is rewritten; a failed query answers with the error instead of hanging. - history: this run's launches sleep by sleep with how each job ended, from a new append-only per-run ledger (launches.jsonl) the park and the wake write. launch --why is a bounded one-line field carried through the request, the stage, the ledger and the wake text. The channel helpers are generalized (marker_requested / mark_done / write_channel_json) with the same O_NOFOLLOW + O_EXCL discipline sync already had. Nothing new enters the container. Rollout step 1 of docs/design/session-watcher.md.

6672084a9210895fce605e32fe8f75dad34768d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mengye Ren Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 13:36:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Watcher review round 1: FIFO-proof markers, no writes after stop, one sinfo a minute, lane errors said, no stale answers - _read_done opens O_NONBLOCK and requires a regular file, so a FIFO planted as a done marker cannot hang the watcher thread (or the tick's sync service, which shared the bug). - service() writes nothing once the watcher is stopped; the attempt waits 15 s for an in-flight scheduler query, then moves on. - The lane's node states are cached for a minute; a failed sinfo is reported in the answer and rendered as unavailable, not as no state. - The tool pushes a request whose mtime would not exceed the previous acknowledgement one second past it (sync included), so two requests within the filesystem's mtime resolution never read the same answer. - The verb tests drive the real channel protocol from a fake kernel thread instead of a pre-stamped marker.
