Patch for handling concurrency races between download completion, error, and pause in the scheduler state machine, preventing completed tasks from getting stuck as paused or silently swallowing real errors.

While testing the verified progress branch (PR #633), an edge case popped into mind: what happens if the frontend looks like it's almost done, the backend has already finished downloading, but before the completion event syncs over, someone clicks pause? Turns out the current logic ends up swallowing the completion state entirely—the file is fully downloaded on disk, but the scheduler misclassifies it as paused, leaving it permanently stuck in the active pool.

Digging a bit deeper, we found a few similar state machine gaps around here: real errors get swallowed as normal pauses when a pause happens concurrently (so no retries or error events), the final EventComplete can get dropped if the context is canceled, and there's a data race when Pause() reads TotalSize.

(Generated by AI for state transition matrix)

Overlapping States Realistic Scenario Current Behavior & Consequence
Complete + Pause User reflexively clicks pause right as the bar hits 100%, or a batch-pause script overlaps with the download finishing The !isPaused gate suppresses completion; the file is fully downloaded, but the task gets permanently stuck as paused
Error + Pause A download hits a 403, network drop, or disk write failure, and the user happens to click pause (or pauses all) at that exact moment isPaused masks the error; real failures get treated as clean pauses, so no retries happen and no error is reported
Complete + Cancel The download finishes and emits completion right as the context is canceled, while the event channel has slight backpressure under load The terminal EventComplete gets randomly dropped by the non-blocking select due to the canceled context
Pause + Worker Exit Pause() is called concurrently while the worker is exiting and updating config metadata Reading TotalSize outside the lock races with the worker write

Our fix here is: let physical success (downloadErr == nil) take final precedence so a completed download always finalizes, tighten the worker pause check to only match clean context cancellations or typed ErrPaused so real errors can still surface and retry, pass nil as the done channel for EventComplete so it doesn't get dropped by a canceled context, and snapshot TotalSize under lock to eliminate the race.

(P.S. Completely independent of PR #633. Added if total > 0 && prog.Bytes.VerifiedProgress.Load() >= total mainly for forward compatibility once #633 lands.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved download pause handling so completed downloads are not paused at the completion boundary.
    • Distinguished clean pauses from successful completions and other errors.
    • Ensured successfully finished downloads are consistently marked complete after a previous pause request.
    • Preserved relevant errors during cancellation and deadline handling.
    • Improved reliability of completion event delivery when progress channels are busy or cancellation occurs.
    • Prevented duplicate paused notifications in applicable pause scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scheduler now distinguishes clean pauses from successful completion and other errors. It prevents pausing completed downloads, clears stale pause state after success, removes completed downloads from tracking, and reliably sends terminal completion events.

Changes

Scheduler outcome handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pause completion boundary
internal/scheduler/scheduler.go, internal/scheduler/scheduler_test.go
Pause reads the configured total size and returns without pausing completed or fully verified downloads. Tests cover completed, incomplete, and unknown-size downloads.
Worker outcome classification
internal/scheduler/scheduler.go, internal/scheduler/scheduler_test.go
Typed ErrPaused, cancellation, success, and other errors now follow separate paths. Successful downloads clear stale pause state, mark completion, and leave tracking maps. Integration tests cover completion and real HTTP failures.
Reliable terminal progress delivery
internal/scheduler/manager.go, internal/scheduler/manager_test.go
safeSendProgress uses a non-cancellable send path with a bounded timeout. Tests verify delivery when the progress channel is full.

The terminal-event regression test is nondeterministic and may miss the full-channel behavior it is meant to protect. Add synchronization before relying on it for this scheduler race fix.

- Line 301: Update the terminal EventComplete send in the worker flow around
safeSendProgress to pass a bounded completion signal instead of nil. Preserve
the event as undroppable during normal cancellation, but ensure a timer-backed
channel closes after a finite timeout so a stopped ProgressCh consumer cannot
block the worker or prevent GracefulShutdown from completing.
- Line 270: Restore the typed-pause deduplication guard in the scheduler path
before calling sendPausedFallback: when the concurrent downloader’s pending
pause state has already been consumed, avoid emitting another EventPaused
without resume state, while preserving the existing handling for a genuinely
pending pause and returning the original error.

Synchronize after the full-channel checkpoint.

The 50 ms delay does not prove that safeSendProgress reached its full-channel decision before the test drains ch. An implementation that discards a full-channel event can start after the drain and pass. Add a test-only hook at that decision, and drain the buffer only after the hook signals.
