fix(backend): guarded status transitions for error issues and investigations - #2310
Status columns in the error issue and investigation state machines were written with UPDATE ... WHERE id = ?, so a writer that read state earlier silently overwrote a concurrent transition. Every writer touched here now guards its UPDATE on the state it decided from.
Shared helper.transitionRow (packages/backend/src/platform/transition-row.ts) checks a caller-built UPDATE ... WHERE org AND id AND status IN (from) RETURNING and fails with TransitionConflictError when no row comes back. Callers either remap it to a 409 or catch it as a no-op. PR review's updateWhere branches on a boolean, so it is not a clean drop-in and stays as it is.
Error issues (workflowState)
applyTransition is guarded on the validated fromState. The loser of a race gets ErrorIssueTransitionError (409), and the transaction rolls back its incident and timeline writes.
The errors tick only regresses rows still done, so a cancelled issue or a human re-triage made after the scan wins. Regression events go only to reopens that applied.
Alert-issue and integration-issue reopens of done now land in regressed, with lastRegressedAt and regressionCount set. A wontfix whose snooze expired still wakes into triage, guarded on the snooze still being expired.
In the tick, a snooze wakeup or lease expiry that loses a race is skipped instead of failing the org's tick. A renewed snooze or a heartbeat committed after the read keeps the issue as it is.
Investigations (status)
MANUAL_INVESTIGATION_TRANSITIONS in domain: a person may resolve a finished run (diagnosed, inconclusive, failed to resolved), or reopen a resolved one back to the verdict its run reached. Any other move returns the new InvestigationTransitionError (409). The v2 docs and errors are updated, and anticipated errors are regenerated.
A diagnosis applies only while the run is investigating, diagnosed or inconclusive; follow-up turns supersede a diagnosis. A partial applies only while the run is investigating. A late write on a failed or resolved run is dropped, with a log line and a span attribute.
Restart refuses a run in flight (409) but still rescues one whose start never claimed it.
There is now one stale sweep. It honours the heartbeat and is guarded on investigating; the per-org copy and the enqueue path's copy are gone.
markFailed is guarded.
Anomaly triage settles once, from none or pending only.
The detail page disables Resolve and Run again on a run in flight, matching the server.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Investigation actions are disabled when resolving or restarting isn’t allowed, including while a run is in progress.
Invalid or outdated investigation status changes are rejected, helping prevent newer updates from being overwritten.
Abandoned investigations are marked failed based on progress, and late diagnoses no longer overwrite newer outcomes.
Concurrent issue updates preserve the winning state, and stale snooze wake-ups or lease-expiry updates are skipped.
Resolved issues that occur again are marked as regressed, with regression details recorded. Expired snoozes can reopen issues; active snoozes remain in effect.
Writers updated status columns by id alone, so one that read state earlier
silently overwrote a concurrent transition. Every writer now guards its UPDATE
on the state it decided from, through transitionRow.
Error issues: applyTransition returns a 409 when it loses the race; the tick
only regresses rows still done; alert and integration reopens land in
regressed with the tick's bookkeeping.
Investigations: late diagnoses on failed or resolved runs are dropped; manual
status changes may only resolve a finished run or reopen it to its own verdict
(MANUAL_INVESTIGATION_TRANSITIONS, 409 otherwise); restart refuses a running
pass; one heartbeat-aware stale sweep; anomaly triage settles only once.
…iters
The enqueue path's stale sweep now uses the shared heartbeat-aware sweep,
markFailed is guarded on investigating, restart rescues a run whose start
never claimed it, and the errors tick skips a wake or lease expiry that lost
to a concurrent move (a renewed snooze included) instead of failing the org's
tick. The investigation detail page disables resolve and restart on a run in
flight, matching the server's rules.
…beat
The lease clear is guarded on still being expired, and only an issue still
in_progress drops to todo. The detail page lets an unclaimed run be run again,
and a renewed snooze is covered by a test.
Issue and investigation writes now guard against stale state. Investigation status changes follow defined transition rules, and issue reopens use shared transition logic. The web view disables investigation actions that are not currently allowed.
Changes: Guarded Issue and Investigation Transitions
Issue workflow, lease expiry, snooze wake-ups, and regression updates now check current state before applying changes. Reopening a done issue sets it to regressed; reopening an eligible wontfix issue sets it to triage.
Investigation transitions and actions packages/domain/src/http/investigations.ts, packages/domain/src/http/v2/investigations.ts, packages/backend/src/services/errors/InvestigationService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/errors/InvestigationService.test.ts, apps/web/src/page/investigations/detail/view.ts, apps/web/src/page/investigations/detail/investigation.scene.test.ts
Defines allowed investigation transitions and restartable statuses. Guarded status changes return a conflict when invalid or stale. The web view disables actions that do not meet the status rules.
Diagnosis writes return whether they applied or were dropped. Stale-run sweeps return affected rows and support organization filtering. Triage updates follow successful diagnosis writes and sweep results.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 64048
A restart that races with a manual resolve can silently overwrite the resolution instead of returning a conflict. This only happens under concurrent requests, so it is a narrow edge case. Add the status guard before merging.

1. Error issue transitions (409 on a stale state, reopen lands in regressed)
Not testable on this preview: the org has no issues, and nothing on a PR stage can create one (see below)
2a. Investigation API rules (409 on illegal moves, resolve, reopen to the run's own verdict, restart guard, race)
Pass
2b. Investigation detail page buttons (disabled while running, Resolve enabled when finished)
Not testable on preview:web: the detail page needs Electric live sync, which preview:web does not deploy. Same failure on #2292's preview, so it is not this PR
3. No regressions on /errors and /investigations
Pass (no console errors, no failed API requests)
Why item 1 and the detail page could not be exercised
GET /v2/error_issues returns nothing (open, closed, or with include_archived=true), and GET /v2/investigations was empty too before I created a run. The seed has 17 error events, but the errors tick that turns them into issues runs on the alerting Worker's cron, and crons are off on non-prod stages unless MAPLE_ALERTING_ALLOW_NONPROD=1 (apps/alerting/src/worker.ts). Anomalies and alert incidents depend on the same cron, so there is no issue or incident to anchor anything to.
The investigation and issue detail pages load their row from an Electric shape (page/investigations/detail/subscription.ts, page/errors/issue/subscription.ts). preview:web runs no Electric (electric-pr-2310.maple.dev does not resolve), so after the 30s watchdog the page shows "Couldn't load this investigation". The same thing happens on feat(web): silence alerts from the hub, a rule or an incident #2292's preview:web deploy for any ID, so this is a limitation of the preview mode, not a regression.
With no issues, I could not record the stale-tab video or take the issue state change and conflict screenshots.
To cover these on a preview, deploy with the full preview label (Electric) and set MAPLE_ALERTING_ALLOW_NONPROD=1 on the alerting Worker, or test locally with bun dev plus bun run errors:tick. The PGlite tests in this PR cover the issue race and the regressed reopen.
Investigation API (item 2a)
I created a freeform investigation (POST /v2/investigations, inv_26Auz2fbErhdDe7AxrvvDt5, 200 in 3.6s) and drove it through every rule:
Status before

3 restarts fired at once
200, 409, 409
exactly one wins; the guard holds under a real race
Unknown and malformed input is clean: unknown iss_/inv_ IDs return 404 (error_issue_not_found, investigation_not_found), a bogus to_state or status returns 400 parameter_invalid, and a malformed ID returns 400. No 5xx anywhere. The deployed /openapi.json lists 409 InvestigationTransitionError on POST /v2/investigations/{id}/status and /restart, with the new descriptions.
One small wording nit: on a resolved run, the 409 for → investigating lists diagnosed, inconclusive, failed as allowed targets, but only the run's own verdict (diagnosed here) is accepted.
Pages (item 3)
/errors (Open and All) and /investigations render normally in a headless Chromium session: no console errors, no failed API calls. The only aborted requests were the app's own telemetry beacons to the shared ingest, cut off by page navigation. The investigations list shows the test run with its verdict.
No Maple MCP tools were available in this session, so I pulled no traces for deployment.environment = pr-2310. Client-side timings for the status and restart endpoints were 170 to 340 ms for status changes, 300 to 1300 ms for restart, and 3.6s for create. Every response was 200, 400, 404 or 409, never 5xx.

- A regression that lost its guard rechecks the issue's current state, so a
wontfix under an active snooze stays out of the incident path.
- Lease expiry drops to todo only while the lease is still empty, so a claim
taken after the clear keeps the issue in progress.
- A resolved investigation reopens on its latest run's outcome: a rerun that
failed after an earlier diagnosis reopens as failed.
- Waking a snoozed wontfix into triage clears its resolution fields.

Local verification (what the preview could not show)
I ran it on a local dev stack (api, web, electric-sync, plus alerting for the errors tick) with every write kept local. The stack used its own database, maple_verify_2310, created and migrated for this run (the Hyperdrive origin in alchemy state confirmed it). It also had its own Electric container on that database and the local Tinybird container. Billing and LLM keys were removed from the worktree env. Head at test time: e9cacd257d.
On a resolved run, a refused move now names the one target that row accepts, for example A resolved investigation can only reopen to 'diagnosed', the verdict its run reached, not 'investigating'. It used to list diagnosed, inconclusive, failed. InvestigationService.test.ts checks the message for both a wrong verdict and a move to investigating (25/25 pass). Typecheck is clean for backend and domain, and effect oxlint is clean.

Running run (investigating, started_at set)
Finished run (diagnosed)
Running: Resolve is disabled, and Run again and Mark resolved both have aria-disabled="true". On main all three are enabled.
Finished: Resolve and both menu items are enabled.
Live sync: with the running page open, I flipped the row to inconclusive in the DB. Without a reload, within about 20s, the disabled Resolve became an enabled Run again (shot).
For "main", the page ran with origin/main's detail/view.ts swapped in. That file is the only web change on this page. The stack and data were the same.
Nit (existing before this PR): a disabled menu item looks almost the same as an enabled one. Only the text is a little dimmer.
Error issue transitions
Valid path: triage, Todo, In progress, Done. The UI and DB agree at every step (done).
Regression lands in regressed: the errors tick created an issue from error spans, which I moved to Done in the UI. Then I backdated resolved_at by 2h to clear the 1h regression grace and sent new spans. The next tick moved it done -> regressed, with regression_count = 1, last_regressed_at set, and a regression event (shot). Spans dated inside the grace counted as occurrences and correctly did not reopen it.
A moves to Won't fix, then stale B (still showing Triage) asks for In progress. The API returns 409Cannot move an issue from 'wontfix' to 'in_progress'..., the DB stays wontfix, and B shows a toast (shot).
A moves to In progress, then stale B asks for Todo. The API returns 200 and the DB becomes todo, so B silently overwrote A (shot). ErrorIssueTransitionRequest carries only toState, and the server re-reads fromState. A stale tab is therefore only refused when its move is invalid from the current state. The guard closes the race between reading the state and writing it. It does not cover a client acting on old state.
True race: both tabs submit at the same moment (5 runs). In 3 runs one tab got a 409 and wrote nothing (no event, rolled back). In 2 runs the requests ran one after the other and both applied in order. There was no silent loss inside the race window (loser shot).
Follow-ups, not blocking this PR:
To refuse case 2, the request needs an expected fromState (or a version) that the server passes as from to transitionRow.
The web toast for a 409 says An unexpected error occurred. Try again or reload. instead of the server's message. The losing tab also keeps showing its old state until a reload.
Data created (all local)
Database maple_verify_2310 in the local Postgres container on :5499. Rows are for org org_3AuiNCIuD1XCbbzcjkzE3s5HoQa: 3 error issues (2 seeded, 1 from the tick), 2 investigations, and 1 error_tick_states row.
17 error spans for service verify-regress-api in the local Tinybird traces.
Electric container verify2310-electric (removed). Every server I started has been stopped.
