30318b79bc MUL-5426: fix(daemon): retire sessions whose history the provider refuses to replay (#6083)
* fix(daemon): retire sessions whose history the provider refuses to replay

A run killed mid-reply (machine shutdown, force-quit, SIGKILL) can leave an
empty assistant message in the agent CLI's transcript. Every later resume
replays it, the provider rejects the request, and the (agent, issue) pair is
bricked with no self-healing and no user-facing recovery.

Multica already has the mechanism for this — poisoned-session classification —
but its detector paired "400" with "invalid_request_error", which is the
Anthropic wire shape. The same defect reported by any other provider carried
neither token, so it classified as agent_error.unknown: resume-safe by
omission. GetLastTaskSession kept handing back the dead session on every
follow-up, manual Rerun resolved it through the same predicate, and the
in-turn fresh-session retry never fired because ResumeRejected is false here
(nothing rejected the resume — the transcript loaded and the provider refused
to replay it).

Add taskfailure.UnresumableHistory, which recognises the defect by what the
provider says is wrong — some content is empty, and here is which message in
the history — rather than by status code or provider name. Both signals are
required, so a tool reporting "field must not be empty" does not match.

Wire it into the four places that decide whether a session survives:

- classifyPoisonedError, so the task is written as api_invalid_request
- shouldRetryWithFreshSession, so the turn recovers on all 17 backends
  instead of the subset whose adapter learned to detect it; the tools == 0
  gate is unchanged, so a run that already used a tool is never re-run
- ResumeUnsafeFailure, covering the manual-Rerun path
- both resume queries, as defense-in-depth for hosts whose daemon predates
  this (self-host daemons upgrade on their own cadence)

Fixes #6066. Also covers the daemon half of #5760.

* fix(session): close the Chat and fresh-retry paths that resurrect a poisoned session

Review found the previous commit stopped short in two places, both of which
put the dead transcript back in play.

Chat never consulted the guarded query. The claim handler reads
chat_session.session_id first and only falls back to GetLastChatTaskSession
when it is empty, so a poisoned pointer there bypasses every filter that query
applies. The fail path merely declined to OVERWRITE the pointer, leaving it in
place. It now clears it in the same transaction, matched on session and
runtime so a concurrent turn's newer pointer survives. The promote guard moves
to ResumeUnsafeFailure as well — the reason-only check passed an un-upgraded
daemon's agent_error.unknown row and re-pinned what the clear had just removed.

GetLastChatTaskSession also kept the row-level filter the issue query dropped
in GH #5975: it discarded the newest poisoned row and fell back to an older
completed row carrying the same dead session. It now judges each session by
its latest terminal state, matching GetLastTaskSession.

A recovered turn could not retire anything. A terminal report carried one
session_id, and an empty one meant both "nothing to report" and "forget the
old session", so a fresh-session retry that SUCCEEDED left the id it retried
away from selectable — through an older completed row on the issue, or through
the chat pointer. agent_task_queue.retired_session_id records the abandonment
itself, reported on every terminal path including completed, and both resume
lookups exclude it. This is the contract gap the previous PR deferred; the
fresh-retry path now runs on all backends, so deferring it is not safe.

Also narrows what the cross-backend test claims: it pins the shared decision,
not that all 17 adapters surface the error into Result.Error (#5760 is the
counter-example), and says so.

* test(session): require pgx.ErrNoRows in the resume-exclusion assertions

The `if err == nil && prior.SessionID.Valid` form these tests shared is
false-green: any real fault — undefined column, syntax error, dead connection
— makes err non-nil, so the condition is false and the test passes. Run
against a database missing this branch's new column, the exclusion tests
reported PASS on a SQLSTATE 42703, meaning they could not have caught a broken
query.

requireSessionExcluded demands pgx.ErrNoRows specifically and fails loudly on
anything else, so a green run now means the filter worked rather than the
query never ran.

Applied to all nine sites, not just the four this branch added: the other five
guard the same GetLastTaskSession exclusion behaviour that this branch
changes, so leaving them false-green would leave the change under-tested. All
nine pass on a correctly migrated database.

c271f80999 MUL-5370 fix: label stalled skill-bundle downloads, align failure-reason copy with the backend taxonomy (#6001)
* fix(daemon): label stalled skill-bundle downloads and make them retryable

A skill bundle that could not be downloaded during task preparation surfaced
as the bare string "resolve skill bundles: context deadline exceeded".
taskfailure.Classify has no rule for a Go context deadline, so it landed in
agent_error.unknown — a bucket that is NOT on the server's retry allowlist.
A transient stall therefore became a terminal chat failure carrying a label
nobody could act on, and the failure was invisible on the Usage page's Errors
breakdown. (MUL-5370)

- Add the platform-side reason skill_bundle_unavailable and put it on
  retryableReasons. Retrying is cheap and safe: the agent process never
  started, and bundles that did arrive are already cached on disk, so
  successive attempts converge.
- Carry a sentinel error from the resolve loop so the reason is derived
  structurally rather than by matching the wrapped transport error's text,
  and name the skill, its declared size and the elapsed wait in the wrap —
  enough to tell "this bundle is too big for the link" from "the link is
  dead" without reading daemon logs.
- Normalise the wire shape an OLD daemon produces (a non-empty catchall plus
  the previous "resolve skill bundles:" wrapper) on the server side. Installed
  daemons upgrade on their own cadence, and FailTask only classifies when the
  caller supplied nothing, so without this the fix would reach only hosts that
  happened to update — while the un-upgraded hosts most likely to be hitting
  the bug kept failing terminally.
- Teach Classify about "deadline exceeded" and net/http's "Client.Timeout
  exceeded while awaiting" so any other Go-side deadline that reaches it as
  text stops falling into the unknown bucket too.
- Backfill historical rows in both agent_task_queue and chat_message. Scoped
  to agent_error.unknown alone — the old wrapper string postdates the
  in-flight classifier by three weeks, so no row carrying it can hold the
  legacy coarse value — which keeps the down migration an exact inverse.

* fix(chat): give chat its own failure copy for the refined reasons

#5991 rebuilt the operator-facing failure labels around an open wire string
with a raw-value fallback, but the chat bubble kept its own exact-key lookup
against the six coarse values from migration 055. So all 14 agent_error.*
values still missed and rendered the generic "Something went wrong and the
agent couldn't finish replying" — the classification the backend had already
computed was discarded at the last step, and that is the message the MUL-5370
reporter saw.

- Add resolveFailureReasonKey in packages/core: exact match, else degrade an
  `agent_error.*` value to its family, else undefined. A reason newer than the
  shipped client now lands on the family line instead of the fallback.
- Rekey the chat copy map by wire value and route it through the helper.
  Chat deliberately degrades to friendly copy rather than adopting the
  operator surfaces' raw-value fallback: it is read by the person who just
  sent a message, and the raw error is one click away under the collapsible.
- Add refined chat copy (en / zh-Hans / ja / ko) only where it can say
  something the family line can't — a different next step: network, auth,
  quota, rate limit, context overflow, missing/outdated CLI, skill download.
- Give skill_bundle_unavailable a label on the web and mobile surfaces and a
  class on the Usage page's Errors breakdown (runtime — the operator response
  is "check the daemon's link to Multica", the provider is not involved).
- Mobile's two label maps were still coarse-only for the same reason; rekey
  them by wire value and fill in the refined taxonomy.

6dba74c3c1 fix(task): auto-retry transient "Connection closed mid-response" like chat (MUL-4910) (#5565)
* fix(task): auto-retry transient provider stream cut like chat (MUL-4910)

Claude Code's "API Error: Connection closed mid-response" is a transient
network cut. In unattended issue runs it fell through to
agent_error.unknown / process_failure — neither in retryableReasons — so
the task terminated. Interactive chat only appeared resilient because the
CLI's own in-process retry usually recovers first; there is no
chat-specific retry in Multica. Both paths share the same
finalizeStreamResult -> Classify -> retryableReasons pipeline.

- classify: route "connection closed" / "mid-response" to
  agent_error.provider_network, before the exit-status rule so the
  "exited with error: exit status N" variant also lands here.
- retry: add provider_network to retryableReasons. It is resume-safe, so
  the retry child inherits the session and continues the truncated
  conversation instead of restarting.

Tests cover the new classification (incl. exit-status variant) and the
retry/resume flags. Note: mirror the substrings into the MUL-1949 offline
backfill SQL to keep in-flight and historical taxonomies aligned.

* feat(task): defer provider_network's final retry ~5s — three-tier (MUL-4910)

Follow-up to the immediate-retry fix: make the connection-closed retry a
three-tier schedule — first run + immediate retry + one retry deferred ~5s —
so a blip that survives the immediate retry gets a short cooldown before the
final attempt instead of firing back-to-back.

Reuses the existing deferred/fire_at primitive (the comment-routing escalation
mechanism) rather than adding new infrastructure: CreateRetryTask gains an
optional fire_at; when set, the child is inserted 'deferred' and the existing
PromoteDueDeferredTasksForRuntime sweeper — already run promote-first on every
claim poll — flips it to 'queued' at fire_at. No migration, no claim-query
change, no daemon change.

- retryAttemptCeiling: raise provider_network's ceiling to 3 (other reasons
  keep max_attempts=2); applied in both retryEligible and
  MaybeRetryFailedTask's budget pre-check so the primary and sweeper paths agree.
- retryDelayForAttempt: only provider_network's final attempt is deferred (5s);
  every other retry — including provider_network's first — stays immediate.
- FailTask + MaybeRetryFailedTask pass fire_at and skip the queued
  broadcast/notify for a deferred child (promotion emits them at fire time).

Timing: the deferred child fires on the first claim poll at/after fire_at, so
>= 5s; on an otherwise-idle runtime it can stretch to the poll interval — the
same behaviour deferred escalations already have.

Tests: pure schedule/eligibility coverage (TestProviderNetworkRetrySchedule)
plus a DB test asserting fire_at controls deferred-vs-queued, attempt=3, and
resume-safety.

* fix(task): persist reason-aware retry budget; respect max_attempts=1 disable (MUL-4910)

Addresses the pre-merge review must-fix: retryAttemptCeiling raised
provider_network to 3 unconditionally, which (1) overrode the
max_attempts=1 "auto-retry disabled" contract and (2) persisted a
self-contradictory child (attempt=3, max_attempts=2) that leaks to the
task API, so a naive attempt < max_attempts consumer would misjudge the
budget.

- retryAttemptCeiling now returns taskMaxAttempts unchanged when it is <= 1
  (disabled stays disabled) and only ever WIDENS otherwise (max(col, 3) for
  provider_network) — a higher configured budget is kept.
- CreateRetryTask takes an optional max_attempts; FailTask and
  MaybeRetryFailedTask write the reason-aware effective ceiling into the
  child so the whole retry chain self-describes (attempt=3, max_attempts=3).
  NULL inherits the parent column, so non-provider_network reasons are
  unchanged.

Tests:
- pure: ceiling widens to 3, keeps a higher budget, and never revives a
  disabled (max_attempts=1) task; eligibility rejects the disabled case.
- DB (end-to-end FailTask): default budget → deferred final child at
  attempt=3/max_attempts=3; first failure → immediate child; max_attempts=1
  → no child. Plus CreateRetryTask persists the passed budget / inherits on NULL.

7356b56a10 fix(taskfailure): anchor HTTP status-code matches to digit boundaries (#5275)
Anchor the 401/402/403/429/529 HTTP status-code matches to digit
boundaries so embedded numbers (e.g. "402913 tokens", "15290ms") no
longer misclassify process/unknown failures as provider errors and skew
failure observability. Mirrors the existing 5xx anchoring (providerHTTP5xxRe).

10afd1af1b feat(server): introduce pkg/taskfailure classifier and switch in-flight failure_reason writes (MUL-2946) (#3693)
Lift MUL-1949's offline backfill failure_reason taxonomy into a shared
in-flight classifier so the agent_task_queue.failure_reason column is
written with refined values (provider_auth_or_access, context_overflow,
provider_capacity_or_rate_limit, …) at write time rather than waiting on
SQL backfill to re-classify after the fact. PR1 of the Grafana board
plan in MUL-2328 — the upcoming PR2 reuses pkg/taskfailure.AllReasons()
to pre-warm the Prometheus failure_reason label set.

* server/pkg/taskfailure: new package with the canonical 21 Reason
  constants (7 platform-side + 14 agent_error.* sub-reasons),
  AllReasons() returning a defensive copy, IsAgentError() prefix check,
  and Classify(rawError) Reason mirroring the SQL CASE rules from
  MUL-1949 (db-boy's analysis). 100% statement coverage.
* server/internal/daemon/daemon.go: route the 'agent_error' coarse
  fallback paths (StartTask error, runTask early-return error, CompleteTask
  permanent rejection, reportTaskResult default branch) and the
  executeAndDrain default error case (chained after classifyPoisonedError)
  through taskfailure.Classify so blocked / timeout / unknown-status
  results all carry a refined reason on the wire.
* server/internal/service/task.go: FailTask classifies errMsg when the
  daemon-supplied failureReason is empty, eliminating the legacy
  COALESCE(.., 'agent_error') landing.
* server/internal/daemon/poisoned.go: alias FailureReasonIterationLimit
  and FailureReasonAPIInvalidRequest to the canonical taskfailure
  constants. agent_fallback_message and codex_semantic_inactivity are
  pre-existing operational reasons not in the canonical 21 — kept as
  literals for now and revisited in a follow-up PR.

Backfill SQL from MUL-1949 stays as the authoritative offline source of
truth; this PR keeps the in-flight classifier in lock-step with the SQL
CASE expression so historical and future rows share the same taxonomy.
No behavior change for the platform-side reasons (queued_expired,
runtime_offline, runtime_recovery, timeout, etc.) which already align
with the canonical set.
