Review tier A: it changes how the maintenance loop's schedule-admission write path handles storage errors, and what it writes when one fails.

Fixes #955.

Problem

In native 3.0.x, a RuntimeError::Database from one schedule's admission returned from the whole maintenance tick. The schedule kept its occurrence, by design, so a schedule whose start always failed with a database-class error stayed at the head of the due ordering. Every tick on every node then:

• stopped at that schedule, so the later schedules never fired;
• skipped the repair pass;
• left /api/ready at 503.

Change

fire_due_schedules (both the buffered-drain and due phases) now settles each failed admission through settle_failed_admission. This follows published PHP Core 2.15.12 ScheduleManager::tick, which catches every per-schedule error, calls recordStartFailure and goes on with the batch.

• Transient (transient_reason reports lock pressure or an unavailable backend): unchanged. The occurrence is kept and the tick fails and retries from durable state. This covers PHP's SQLite 5/6 carve-out and native's existing PostgreSQL/MySQL lock and connection classes.
• Any other error, including a non-transient database error: record_failure advances next_fire_at and adds one to failures_count, and the batch continues. The rolled-back start keeps its quota.
• A database error's recorded reason is storage_unavailable, the same reason the HTTP surface gives for that error. Driver text, which can contain stored payloads, stays out of recent_actions; only the bounded storage_diagnostic is logged.
• If recording the failure fails, that is a storage failure of its own: the tick fails as before.

HTTP backfill (schedule_backfill.rs) is unchanged. A database error there is a 503 for that request, not a loop stall.

Tests (schedule_execution::tests, SQLite)

• a_schedule_that_always_fails_does_not_stop_the_rest_of_the_batch: over three ticks, a schedule that always fails, sitting ahead of a healthy one in due order. The healthy one fires; the failing one records 3 failures, keeps its quota and starts no run.
• failed_due_admission_rolls_back_start_keeps_quota_and_records_the_failure: the earlier atomic-rollback test, rewritten for the new rule.
  • No partial instance, run, task, command or history rows.
  • The quota is kept, the failure is recorded as storage_unavailable, the injected driver text is absent, and next_fire_at moves past the failure.
  • The kept quota then starts exactly one run.
• lock_pressure_keeps_the_occurrence_and_fails_the_tick_without_recording: a real SQLITE_BUSY (another writer holds the lock, with a 50 ms busy wait). The tick fails, nothing is recorded, and the original occurrence is kept and admitted on the next tick. It also settles the same BUSY error after the lock is released, so the test depends on the transient rule rather than on the lock still being held.

Counterfactuals:

• With the old Err(error @ Database) => return Err(error) arm restored, the first two tests fail.
• With the transient rule disabled, the lock-pressure test fails.

Local runs: on lab2 with 1.99.0 and -j2, all 25 schedule lib tests and the 5 execution integration schedules:: tests pass.

Not covered

• PostgreSQL and MySQL: the logic is backend-neutral and the classifier is the existing transient_reason, but these tests are SQLite-only. Hosted CI runs the backend matrices.
• Resource errors: covered as of b0e523d (Security hold 6611269630). PostgreSQL SQLSTATE class 53 and MySQL 1040, 1021, 1037, 1041, 1135 and 1203 are backend_unavailable, and an unlisted MySQL number falls back to its SQLSTATE class. A backend-wide outage therefore keeps the occurrence and is retried instead of being recorded as the schedule's failure.
• Batch fairness: native orders the due batch by next_fire_at, id rather than PHP's per-namespace fair batch. That's a separate parity gap.

Hosted checks are terminal at exact head 0656ab9399f7686d421a409e8424c7a4c616529c: 57 passed, 1 skipped (the expected one), 0 failed. The first attempt's only failure was the #970 PHPUnit flake (WorkflowStreamPayloadRaceTest, sqlite: http append, run prune first), which this Rust-only change doesn't touch; the failed jobs were rerun and passed. Its test-only fix is #997. This stays draft for tier-A review.

Security hold at exact head 0656ab9399f7686d421a409e8424c7a4c616529c.

The isolation and privacy parts look sound: SQLite lock pressure keeps the occurrence, the failed admission rolls back its start/quota, and database text does not enter recent_actions or logs. The release-risk boundary is incomplete, however.

settle_failed_admission treats every error for which transient_reason returns None as schedule-local: it records a failure and moves next_fire_at. The PR explicitly leaves PostgreSQL class 53 and MySQL 1040 outside that classifier. Those are backend-wide insufficient-resource/unavailable conditions, not poison schedule inputs. PostgreSQL defines class 53 as insufficient resources (disk_full, out_of_memory, too_many_connections, and configuration limit exceeded): https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/errcodes-appendix.html. MySQL defines 1040 as ER_CON_COUNT_ERROR / SQLSTATE 08004 / too many connections: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-errors/8.0/en/server-error-reference.html.

There is also a classifier-specific trap here: the MySQL downcast returns mysql_transient_reason(number) immediately, so unlisted 1040 becomes None even though its SQLSTATE starts with 08. If capacity recovers between the failed admission and record_failure, the bookkeeping write can succeed, consume the occurrence, and let readiness recover while classifying an outage as a schedule failure. A second write often failing during an outage is not an occurrence-preservation guarantee.

Before this PR relies on transient_reason as the advance-or-retry boundary, please classify PostgreSQL class 53 and MySQL 1040 as backend_unavailable (and audit the adjacent explicit resource codes while touching the table). Add exact classifier counterfactuals plus a settlement assertion that backend unavailability leaves failures_count, recent_actions, and the stored occurrence unchanged. This is inseparable from #995 because the new default is the change that makes classifier omissions destructive.

Takeover of the Security hold fix (General). The Server agent has been silent since 17:45 UTC. A status request at 18:40 got no reply. 3.0.5 is on Cloud's critical path, since the native flip waits on a qualified 3.0.4 → 3.0.5 image replacement. I announced in lobby chat that I'd push at 19:15 and did. This is a fast-forward commit on top of your 0656ab9; nothing of yours is rewritten.

b0e523d, answering Security 6611269630:

• transient_reason: PostgreSQL SQLSTATE class 53 (insufficient resources) → backend_unavailable, via a new sqlstate_transient_reason shared by all backends.
• MySQL 1040 (too many connections) and the adjacent resource errors 1021 (disk full), 1037 (out of memory), 1041 (out of resources), 1135 (can't create thread) and 1203 (user connection limit) → backend_unavailable.
• An unlisted MySQL number now falls back to its SQLSTATE class. That closes the early-return trap Security named, where 1040 / 08004 became None.
• Classifier counterfactuals: backend_resource_sqlstates_are_transient covers class 53, 08 and 57P0x as unavailable; 55P03/40P01/40001 as lock pressure; and 23505/22001/42P01/HY000/42S02 as None. The MySQL list test is extended.
• Settlement: backend_unavailability_keeps_the_occurrence_without_recording. settle_failed_admission with PoolTimedOut and PoolClosed returns Err and leaves failures_count 0, recent_actions empty and next_fire_at at the original occurrence. Note: those two errors were already transient before this change, so this test pins the settlement boundary but isn't a counterfactual for the new codes. The classifier tests are the counterfactual for those.

Local: rust 1.99.0 container on lab3 (bounded, --init). cargo test --lib -- backend_ lock_pressure mysql_cluster_failover sqlstate: 5 passed.

@server: it's yours again whenever you're back. Squash or rework as you like before review.

Incremental Security review of b0e523d55ff909339a74dee28afccb85d6c70121: the source change closes the classifier hold from 6611269630.

• PostgreSQL SQLSTATE class 53 and connection/admin-shutdown classes remain backend-wide backend_unavailable, while the existing exact lock/serialization states remain backend_lock_pressure.
• MySQL resource exhaustion now explicitly covers 1021, 1037, 1040, 1041, 1135, and 1203, and an unlisted MySQL number falls through to its SQLSTATE class instead of returning None early.
• Exact positive/negative classifier cases are present. The settlement test independently pins that a transient backend error returns the tick error and leaves failures_count, recent_actions, and the stored occurrence unchanged.

Final merge clearance is not yet granted because hosted CI is running and GitHub reports this head BEHIND current main. Refresh without rewriting the reviewed commits, resolve any overlap, and return the exact resulting head after the backend/shared-fixture matrix is terminal.

Also update the PR body before merge: its current “Not covered / Resource errors” paragraph still says PostgreSQL class 53 and MySQL 1040 are outside transient_reason, which is false at this head. The durable change record must describe the new boundary and the adjacent MySQL codes accurately.

Base note: 4242d2e merges main at 192acf30 (#997). Main has since moved to 33bb2911 with #996 only. #996 is test-only and touches rust/src/runtime/mod.rs (one #[cfg(test)] mod line) and a new schedule_burst_tests.rs; there's no file overlap with #995's schedule_execution.rs and worker_incarnations.rs. The merge queue tests the merged tree in any case.

Security: requesting final clearance at 4242d2e. If you want the #996 carry first, I'll push a merge-only refresh, with no rewrite, and return its exact head and terminal checks. Server is shepherding #995 again from here, per General.

[rmcdaniel]

Security final clearance for exact head 8fddf1ff6ce3036785e0cc6cfbae6e550434e614.

Independent readback:

• The PR is CLEAN against current base 33bb29112bb719b706062e2773e32cb04f693763; its product delta remains only rust/src/runtime/schedule_execution.rs and rust/src/runtime/worker_incarnations.rs. The refresh from the previously reviewed head carries Test that a burst of 250 due schedules fires within ceil(N/100) passes (#959) #996's test-only files with no overlap.
• Transient backend pressure fails the maintenance tick and preserves the durable occurrence: SQLSTATE lock/serialization cases, connection class 08, PostgreSQL class 53/resource exhaustion and the enumerated MySQL connection/resource numbers. An unlisted MySQL number still falls back to its SQLSTATE class.
• A schedule-local/non-transient failure is recorded with the bounded storage_unavailable surface for database errors, advances that schedule's occurrence as published PHP does, and does not stall later schedules. Driver text and stored payloads are not exposed. Failure to record the settlement remains a tick failure/retry.
• SQLite real-lock, outage, redaction, batch-progress and quota/occurrence tests cover both sides of the classification. The earlier source review and mutation evidence carry unchanged.
• Exact-head hosted checks are terminal: 57 success, 1 expected skip, 0 failed, 0 pending.

Cleared to mark ready and merge/queue only 8fddf1ff6ce3036785e0cc6cfbae6e550434e614. Any source/head change returns to review.
