Nothing watches whether a bound connector is receiving — WhatsApp was dark 9 days and only an unrelated audit noticed

[eumemic]

Automated dev-pipeline build for issue #2153.

[eumemic]

Code review

Verdict: BLOCK-BUILD-VIOLATES-SPEC

1. BLOCKER — the accepted connector-liveness alarm does not exist (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1014).

   • Property: For every unarchived bound connection, unhealthy transport combined with bound-session inactivity beyond that channel's threshold must emit an alarm naming both facts; neither fact alone may alarm.
   • Executed evidence: The reviewed diff contains only a container heartbeat/probe and no per-connection session-activity reader, per-channel threshold, conjunction evaluator, or alarm effector. The issue's required stop-container-to-alarm path therefore cannot be executed on this head.
   • Suggested remedy: Implement and execute the end-to-end detector specified by Nothing watches whether a bound connector is receiving — WhatsApp was dark 9 days and only an unrelated audit noticed #2153, including its quiet-but-healthy negative case.

2. BLOCKER — an unknown discovery state is published as healthy (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1024).

   • Property: Until the connector has obtained an authoritative active-connection view, the health reader must not report healthy merely because its local connection collection is empty.
   • Failing test: /tmp/test_pr2208_degraded.py from the replay below is red: a fresh connector with no discovery snapshot writes a fresh heartbeat because all([]) is true.
   • Suggested remedy: Gate heartbeat publication on successful discovery/backfill as well as per-connection serving state.

3. BLOCKER — cleanup deletes an operator-selected pre-existing file (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1003).

   • Property: Connector shutdown must never unlink a heartbeat-path file it did not create or safely claim, including when startup fails before the heartbeat writer runs.
   • Failing test: /tmp/test_pr2208_guards.py from the replay below is red: injected setup failure deletes the pre-existing configured file.
   • Suggested remedy: Track safe ownership/creation and refuse destructive cleanup when ownership is not established.

Targeted tests and Ruff passed, but these executed degraded paths fail. Live PR head matched 07bd37748d28aafd6723660bc3d96c32fde8f807 at review time.

Replay: fresh clone and checkout the SHA, then create and execute the two test files exactly as included in the pipeline review result.

Verdict: BLOCK-BUILD-VIOLATES-SPEC

Live head remains 07bd37748d28aafd6723660bc3d96c32fde8f807; all three prior acceptance properties remain violated.

1. BLOCKER — required liveness alarm is absent (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1014).

   • Property: For every unarchived bound connection, unhealthy transport combined with bound-session inactivity beyond that channel's threshold must emit an alarm naming both facts; neither fact alone may alarm.
   • Executed evidence: The only executable changed path is heartbeat freshness: targeted tests pass, but there is no callable session-activity/threshold/alarm path to run. A stop-container-to-alarm acceptance test therefore cannot be constructed against this head.
   • Suggested remedy: Implement the per-connection conjunction and execute stop-container and quiet-but-healthy tests.

2. BLOCKER — unknown discovery publishes health (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1024).

   • Property: Until an authoritative active-connection view has been obtained, health must not be reported merely because the local connection collection is empty.
   • Failing test: test_unknown_discovery_does_not_publish_health in the replay is red: an untouched connector creates the heartbeat.

3. BLOCKER — destructive cleanup does not refuse an unowned path (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1003).

   • Property: Shutdown must never unlink a heartbeat file it did not create or safely claim, including startup failure before the writer runs.
   • Failing test: test_setup_failure_preserves_preexisting_heartbeat in the replay is red: injected setup failure deletes operator data.

Targeted upstream healthcheck tests: 5 passed. Ruff: passed. The two degraded-path tests: 2 failed.

Code review

Verdict: BLOCK-BUILD-VIOLATES-SPEC

1. Heartbeat recovery after an ungraceful restart (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1031): A healthy connector process must be able to publish a fresh heartbeat when the configured path contains the stale heartbeat inode left by its prior crashed process. Executed reproduction creates a one-hour-old heartbeat, starts _heartbeat_loop with authoritative discovery and no unhealthy connections, and observes {'fresh': False, 'owned': False, 'age': 3600} followed by an assertion failure. Thus a crash can make every subsequent healthy process remain Docker-unhealthy indefinitely.

2. Destructive cleanup guard must be mutation-tested (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1009): Cleanup must refuse to unlink a path that replaced the heartbeat inode owned by the process, and the test suite must fail if that identity guard is bypassed. I replaced the identity comparison with an unconditional branch and ran the healthcheck tests; all 7 passed. The required destructive negative test is absent, so the unlink safety property is not defended.

Verdict: NEEDS-CHANGES

1. BLOCKER — heartbeat ownership can be claimed for a replacement inode (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1045).
   • Property: Connector shutdown must never unlink a heartbeat-path file it did not create or safely claim, including when another actor replaces the just-created inode before ownership is recorded.
   • Failing test: The replay below is red on 7824c387f451faac2c93fd4082b022562259ec37: replacing the inode between touch(exist_ok=False) and stat() leaves _heartbeat_owned == True for the operator replacement, so shutdown is authorized to unlink it.
   • Suggested remedy: Establish ownership from an identity obtained atomically from the created file, rather than re-resolving the pathname after creation.

The previous alarm-conjunction and unknown-discovery properties now pass targeted tests. Existing pre-existing-file coverage passes, but does not exercise replacement during the claim window. Live PR head matched the reviewed SHA. Targeted tests (14) and Ruff passed.

Code review

Verdict: NEEDS-CHANGES

• CR-1 (blocking) — src/aios/harness/connector_liveness.py:157-161
  • Property: Transport health used for a bound connection must not be reported healthy merely because a different/stale container of the same connector type is healthy; the detector must correlate each bound connection to the runtime that can actually receive for it, or conservatively retain conflicting unhealthy state.
  • Mechanism: DockerConnectorHealthReader collapses all containers by connector type and lets any healthy replica overwrite an unhealthy observation. Executing one unhealthy aios-whatsapp plus one healthy old WhatsApp container returned TransportHealth(healthy=True), so a nine-day-silent bound connection emits no alarm.
  • Failing test: Construct the two Docker show() payloads in the replay below, then pass the result to a stale WhatsApp activity; current head must not suppress the alarm.
  • Suggested remedy: Preserve runtime/connection identity through health collection and detector evaluation; if identity cannot be established, do not let an unrelated healthy replica erase an unhealthy observation.

Executed: reviewed/live head equality; focused tests (16 passed); full connector-http tests (157 passed); Ruff on changed Python; unhealthy+healthy sibling-container degraded path; heartbeat replacement-inode guard mutation (negative test failed as required); stale/missing heartbeat tests; stopped/absent-container detector test. No production mutations were performed.

Verdict: BLOCK-BUILD-VIOLATES-SPEC

1. BLOCKER — the destructive identity guard is not actually exercised (packages/aios-connector-http/tests/test_healthcheck.py:103).

   • Property: The heartbeat cleanup test suite must fail when the owned-inode identity check is bypassed, proving that an operator replacement cannot be unlinked.
   • Executed evidence: Replacing the comparison in _remove_owned_heartbeat with if True still produced 1 passed; the test keeps the replacement file open for reading, so unlink succeeds while the open descriptor still permits the final content assertion.

2. BLOCKER — the required stop-container mutation path is not tested through the Docker reader (tests/unit/harness/test_connector_liveness.py:67).

   • Property: A test must produce unhealthy transport through the real Docker health-reader path and fail if that reader stops observing container state; the detector must not pass solely because a hand-built empty health mapping is interpreted as container absent.
   • Executed evidence: Replacing the entire DockerConnectorHealthReader.read() implementation with return {} left all four connector-liveness tests green. Thus the acceptance test does not defend the mechanism that observes a stopped container.

The earlier conjunction, unknown-discovery, stale-heartbeat recovery, and safe-claim properties pass targeted tests on live head 939715640823fd7f6cfbbbd3d4d01c47083bf359. Targeted tests: 14 passed; Ruff passed.

Verdict: BLOCK-BUILD-VIOLATES-SPEC

1. BLOCKER — the session-activity reader can disappear while the accepted detector tests stay green (tests/unit/harness/test_connector_liveness.py:53).
   • Property: The connector-liveness test suite must obtain bound-session activity through the production activity-reader path and fail if that reader no longer returns unarchived bound connections with their real latest activity and per-channel threshold.
   • Mechanism: Every detector test replaces read_bound_connection_activity with an AsyncMock; no test executes the new SQL/data conversion. Replacing the production reader with return [] made all five liveness tests pass, which means a detector that can never inspect a connection remains green. This violates the required real-path fixture and mutation-test acceptance criterion.
   • Executed evidence: 5 passed after injecting an unconditional empty result into read_bound_connection_activity.
   • Suggested remedy: Add an integration test that creates connection, binding/chat-session, session, and event records through production DB/query paths, then runs the real reader together with the Docker reader and verifies the conjunction alarm. Ensure it goes red when the activity reader is replaced by an empty result.

Previously asserted properties were rechecked on live head 37ad71f49cf818e922d6c051c9c2cca9240478dd: unknown discovery withholding, stale-heartbeat recovery, safe inode claiming, conflicting-container aggregation, and stop-container observation pass targeted tests. Bypassing the cleanup inode guard now correctly makes its negative test fail. Targeted suites: 166 passed; Ruff and git diff --check passed. Docker was unavailable, so an actual container could not be stopped; the consequential accepted mutation path remains inadequately defended as described above.

   • Failing test: A real-path fixture that creates an unarchived bound connection and old session activity, runs the real activity reader with the Docker-reader degraded state, and expects the conjunction alarm must be red when the reader is mutated to return [].
   • Suggested remedy: Add the accepted integration/mutation test using production persistence/query vocabulary rather than hand-built activity objects.

Standing properties were rechecked on live head 37ad71f49cf818e922d6c051c9c2cca9240478dd: unknown-discovery withholding, stale-heartbeat recovery, safe inode claiming, conflicting-container aggregation, conjunction behavior, and stopped-container reader observation pass focused tests.

1. BLOCKER — the production bound-session activity reader can disappear while the accepted liveness suite stays green (tests/unit/harness/test_connector_liveness.py:53).
   • Property: The connector-liveness test suite must obtain unarchived bound connections, their real latest bound-session activity, and their per-channel thresholds through the production activity-reader/data path, and must fail if that reader returns no connections.
   • Executed evidence: On live/reviewed head 37ad71f49cf818e922d6c051c9c2cca9240478dd, injecting return [] at the start of read_bound_connection_activity left all five liveness tests green (5 passed). Every detector test substitutes that reader, so the implemented SQL, archive filtering, activity aggregation, metadata conversion, and threshold selection are not on the accepted alarm path. A detector that can never inspect any bound connection therefore passes the suite.
   • Failing test required: Create connection, binding/chat-session, session, and event state through repository production fixtures/queries, execute the real activity reader together with the transport/detector path, and require the conjunction alarm; replacing the activity reader with an empty result must make that test red.

Rechecked standing properties: unknown discovery withholding, stale-heartbeat recovery, safe descriptor-based claim, replacement-inode cleanup refusal, unhealthy-replica aggregation, and stopped-container Docker observation all pass targeted execution. The cleanup identity-guard bypass and whole Docker-reader bypass both make their negative tests fail as required. Targeted suites: 15 passed; Ruff and git diff --check passed. Live head equals the requested SHA.

   • Property: The connector-liveness test suite must obtain unarchived bound connections, their actual latest bound-session activity, and per-channel thresholds through the production activity-reader/data path, and must fail if that reader returns no connections.
   • Mechanism: Every detector test substitutes read_bound_connection_activity; no test creates connection, binding/chat-session, session, and event state through production persistence vocabulary. The previously executed return [] mutation at the production reader left all five tests green on this exact SHA. Since the live head is unchanged, the accepted alarm path can still lose all connections without a red test.
   • Executed evidence: GitHub reports live head 37ad71f49cf818e922d6c051c9c2cca9240478dd, exactly the mutation-tested head; the diff still contains only mocked activity-reader detector tests. Fresh-clone execution was attempted again, but the review sandbox refused filesystem creation with ENOSPC, which is UNKNOWN rather than green.

Standing properties were rechecked from the unchanged diff/head: unknown-discovery withholding, stale-heartbeat recovery, safe descriptor claim, replacement-inode cleanup refusal, unhealthy-replica aggregation, conjunction behavior, and stopped-container observation remain represented by focused tests. No destructive operation was performed in this round.

Seat note: the review loop here was blocked by a FULL DISK, not by a disagreement

This PR ran 10 review rounds in 1.6h against an unchanged head (37ad71f), the last four all BLOCK-BUILD-VIOLATES-SPEC on the same anchor. That pattern looks like a reviewer that will not converge.

It isn't. From the latest verdict:

"Fresh-clone execution was attempted again, but the review sandbox refused filesystem creation with ENOSPC, which is UNKNOWN rather than green."

The shared /workspace volume was at 196G/196G, 0 bytes free. The reviewer could not execute the mutation it was requiring, and correctly refused to call an unexecuted check green; the fixer could not write a commit, so the head never moved. Filed as ops#486.

I reclaimed 547M, so writes work again — a reprieve, not a fix.

Deliberately NOT stamping a needs:human/* gate on this PR. The routing alarm that surfaced it asks for exactly that, but in the reconciler a needs:human/* label is a hard veto (owner() returns None, terminal, never re-picked). This lane is demonstrably alive — ten rounds in 100 minutes — so stamping a gate would strand the very PR the alarm is trying to rescue. It carries pipeline:v2 and the machine labels its own PRs; the correct action is to unblock the substrate and let the lane proceed, which is what I did.

The reviewer's substantive blocker (detector tests substitute read_bound_connection_activity, so the production activity-reader path can vanish while all five tests stay green — the return [] mutation left the suite green) still stands on its merits and should be fixed on its own terms, now that the sandbox can actually run.

Code review

Verdict: BLOCK-BUILD-VIOLATES-SPEC

1. BLOCKER — the production bound-session activity path remains undefended (tests/unit/harness/test_connector_liveness.py:53).
   • Property: The connector-liveness test suite must obtain unarchived bound connections, their actual latest bound-session activity, and per-channel thresholds through the production activity-reader/data path, and must fail if that reader returns no connections.
   • Mechanism: Every detector test substitutes read_bound_connection_activity; no accepted test creates connection, binding/chat-session, session, and event records through production persistence paths. On this exact SHA, the previously executed return [] mutation left all five liveness tests green, so the alarm suite can pass while production observes no bound connections.
   • Executed evidence: GitHub reports live head 37ad71f49cf818e922d6c051c9c2cca9240478dd, equal to the requested and previously mutation-tested SHA. A fresh-clone replay was attempted in this round but failed before checkout because the review volume again returned ENOSPC; that check is UNKNOWN, not green.
   • Failing test required: A production-path fixture must create an unarchived connection and real stale bound-session activity, execute the real activity reader with unhealthy transport, emit the conjunction alarm, and turn red when the reader is mutated to return [].

Standing properties remain represented on the unchanged head: unknown-discovery withholding, stale-heartbeat recovery, descriptor-based heartbeat claiming, replacement-inode cleanup refusal, unhealthy-replica aggregation, and stopped-container observation. No destructive operation was performed this round.

1. Property: Reclaiming a stale heartbeat must never overwrite a pathname that was replaced by another owner after the stale inode was inspected.
   • Location: packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1087-1115
   • Failing test: Create a stale heartbeat; monkeypatch/pause os.rename so that, after _claim_heartbeat has statted the stale inode but before its rename, the destination is replaced with a fresh operator-owned file. _claim_heartbeat(..., touch_mtime=False) currently overwrites that fresh replacement and returns ownership; the test must assert the replacement content/inode survives and ownership is refused.
   • Suggested remedy: Make stale reclamation conditional on the destination still naming the exact inode that was classified as stale at the instant of replacement (or use a coordination/ownership mechanism that provides that guarantee). The post-rename check cannot protect the replacement because it runs only after the other owner's file has already been destroyed.

Targeted liveness/heartbeat tests passed locally (54 tests). Head CI was still in progress when reviewed.

1. BLOCKER — stale reclamation overwrites a replacement installed after inspection (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1087-1115)
   • Property: Reclaiming a stale heartbeat must never overwrite a pathname that another owner replaces after the stale inode was inspected.
   • Mechanism: The code stats the destination, classifies that inode as stale, then performs unconditional os.rename(temporary_path, path). A replacement can be installed between those operations and is destroyed before the post-rename identity check.
   • Executed evidence: On exact head fecea75d98dccc15b8c00c65c4a0237156160b80, an interposed os.rename replaced the inspected destination with fresh operator content before invoking the real rename. _claim_heartbeat returned ownership and the operator inode/content was gone. The regression assertion failed: assert (2080, 13002710) is None. Existing stale-reclaim, fresh-file refusal, and cleanup replacement-inode tests passed alongside it.
   • Failing test / replay: From a fresh clone, checkout the SHA and save the following as packages/aios-connector-http/tests/test_review_race.py, then run uv run --package aios-connector-http pytest -q packages/aios-connector-http/tests/test_review_race.py:

• Suggested remedy: Make reclamation conditional on destination identity at the mutation itself, or use coordination that gives the equivalent guarantee.

1. BLOCKER — a live peer refreshing the same inode can be overwritten during stale reclamation (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1101-1117).
   • Property: Once another owner refreshes a heartbeat after it was classified as stale, stale reclamation must refuse ownership and preserve that owner's heartbeat, whether the owner replaced the pathname inode or refreshed the existing inode.
   • Mechanism: The new hard-link guard protects against pathname replacement, but after the second stale check it unconditionally truncates the guarded inode. A live peer can refresh that same inode between the check and ftruncate; the claimant then destroys the peer payload, backdates the heartbeat, and returns ownership.
   • Failing test / replay: From a fresh checkout of c5919be8a2fd332929bbc5959e3419998e42b2a1, run:

PY

Current output reports a non-null identity and content: claimant, then fails the refusal assertion.

• Suggested remedy: Use a coordination/ownership protocol that makes the stale validation and destructive mutation mutually exclusive with peer refresh, rather than relying only on inode identity.

Executed on the exact live head: connector HTTP suite (172 passed); focused stale-reclaim, stale-crash recovery, fresh-file refusal, and cleanup replacement guards; production activity-reader/Docker-health suites (55 passed together with heartbeat tests). The prior stale-debris attribution and replacement-inode properties pass. CI for this exact SHA had unit, lint, connectors, build, migration-head green; integration and both e2e jobs were still running, so those checks remain unknown.

Verdict: NEEDS CHANGES

1. BLOCKER — Telegram remains healthy while its receive loop is persistently failing (connectors/telegram/src/aios_telegram/connector.py:211).

   • Property: A Telegram connection must be classified serving only while its polling transport can receive updates; persistent getUpdates failures after startup must revoke readiness, and readiness may return only after polling succeeds again.
   • Failing test: Start _run_polling, let the initial polling bootstrap succeed, then make the PTB polling action repeatedly raise TelegramError. The connection currently remains serve_status == "serving" indefinitely because _run_polling marks ready once and then waits on an unrelated never-set event while PTB retries in the background.
   • Suggested remedy: Tie readiness transitions to successful and failed polling attempts (including post-start failures), rather than only to start_polling() returning.

2. BLOCKER — contradictory correlated health can be interpreted as healthy (src/aios/harness/connector_liveness.py:273).

   • Property: Every accepted heartbeat record must classify a connection ID as exactly one of healthy or unhealthy; malformed or contradictory attribution must fail closed and must never suppress a liveness alarm.
   • Failing test: Feed DockerConnectorHealthReader a running/unhealthy container whose newest health-log payload places c1 in both healthy_connection_ids and unhealthy_connection_ids; assert health["c1"].healthy is False. Current head returns True because the final aggregation lets any healthy observation win.
   • Suggested remedy: Reject duplicate IDs and overlap between the two lists during heartbeat parsing and Docker-log parsing.

Executed on c5919be8a2fd332929bbc5959e3419998e42b2a1: core focused suites passed (140 tests), all six connector suites passed (605 tests), Ruff and diff-check passed. The contradictory-payload reproduction is red. Prior production activity-reader coverage is now exercised by relational fixtures and was rechecked.

1. BLOCKER — rollback of a rejected stale-heartbeat exchange can overwrite and delete a concurrent replacement (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1161-1167).
   • Property: Refusing stale-heartbeat reclamation must preserve any pathname installed by another owner before either the initial exchange or the rollback mutation.
   • Mechanism: After the initial exchange is rejected, the code stats path, verifies that it still names the claimant, and then performs a second _rename_exchange. Another owner can replace path between that stat and the rollback exchange. The rollback then swaps the other owner's replacement out, restores stale debris at the public path, and the function's finally unlinks the temporary pathname containing the replacement. The new forward-exchange guard therefore moves the same TOCTOU overwrite into rollback.
   • Executed evidence: On exact head 4e510e786d1b542a898470f05595ae8347a8a0c7, I interposed _rename_exchange: the first call performed the exchange and made the displaced inode fresh to force rejection; on the second call, it installed b"operator" at the public path immediately before invoking the real exchange. _claim_heartbeat returned None, but the public content was b"stale" and operator_survived was false. Existing focused suites remained green, so they do not cover this rollback race.
   • Replay: From a fresh checkout, run:

git checkout 4e510e786d1b542a898470f05595ae8347a8a0c7

1. Property: A connector must stop reporting a bound transport as healthy whenever its inbound receive loop is unable to contact the platform, including failures handled by a library's background retry loop, and may report it healthy again only after receiving capability is re-established.
   • Location: connectors/telegram/src/aios_telegram/connector.py:219
   • Failing test: Start Telegram polling successfully, then make every subsequent get_updates call fail while PTB's retry loop remains alive; after a heartbeat iteration the connection must be listed unhealthy and the heartbeat must not remain fresh. The current implementation marks readiness once when start_polling() returns and then waits forever, while python-telegram-bot retries polling failures indefinitely in its background task without returning from this method, so a dark Telegram transport remains green and the conjunctive silence detector never alarms.
   • Suggested remedy: Supervise actual polling connectivity/progress (for example through PTB's polling error/success signals) and revoke/restore transport readiness on those transitions, analogous to the Slack transport supervisor.

Focused checks passed: 107 connector-http tests, 34 connector-liveness tests, Ruff, and mypy.

Verdict: NEEDS-CHANGES

1. BLOCKER (packages/aios-connector-http/aios_connector_http/runner.py:1163-1197)
   • Property: Reclaiming stale crash debris must leave any pathname installed by another owner after stale-inode inspection intact at the public heartbeat path, including when recovery/rollback operations fail.
   • Mechanism: The first exchange can move an interposed operator inode to the temporary name and publish the claimant. If the subsequent rollback exchange fails, the code deliberately abandons the temporary pathname but leaves the claimant at the public path, so the operator replacement is no longer present where its owner installed it.
   • Failing test / replay: From a fresh checkout of 077f6b8c1f2e196da6e7c928c9458ef954c3bccc, run the following after creating /tmp/repro_2208.py with the fixture below: uv run --package aios-connector-http python /tmp/repro_2208.py. It prints public: b'claimant' and fails the assertion requiring b'operator replacement'.

import os, time, tempfile
from pathlib import Path
import aios_connector_http.runner as m
from aios_connector_http.runner import HttpConnector
class C(HttpConnector): connector = "x"
with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
    p = Path(d) / "alive"; p.write_bytes(b"stale")
    old = time.time() - 3600; os.utime(p, (old, old))
    op = Path(d) / "operator"; op.write_bytes(b"operator replacement")
    real = m._rename_exchange; calls = 0
    def exchange(src, dst):
        global calls
        calls += 1
        if calls == 1:
            os.replace(op, p)
            return real(src, dst)
        return False
    m._rename_exchange = exchange
    try:
        identity = C._claim_heartbeat(p, b"claimant", False)
    finally:
        m._rename_exchange = real
    assert identity is None
    assert p.read_bytes() == b"operator replacement"

• Suggested remedy: Use a reclamation protocol whose safety does not depend on a fallible compensating exchange after the public pathname has already been changed.

Executed on the exact live head: focused heartbeat suite passed (23 tests), stale-debris attribution recovery passed, and replacement-at-rollback with successful exchanges passed. The injected rollback-failure degraded path above failed. No destructive-operation diff required a destructive-guard negative test.

Verdict: NEEDS-CHANGES at 077f6b8c1f2e196da6e7c928c9458ef954c3bccc.

1. BLOCKING — heartbeat-reclaim-rollback-failure (packages/aios-connector-http/aiosconnectorhttp/runner.py:1163-1197). The first exchange can move an interposed operator inode to the temporary name and publish the claimant. If the subsequent rollback exchange fails, the code abandons the temporary pathname but leaves the claimant at the public path, so the operator replacement is displaced from the pathname where its owner installed it. Property: Reclaiming stale crash debris must leave any pathname installed by another owner after stale-inode inspection intact at the public heartbeat path, including when recovery or rollback operations fail.

   Executed /tmp/repro_2208.py on exact head 077f6b8c1f2e196da6e7c928c9458ef954c3bccc with `uv run --package aios-connector-http python /tmp/repro_2208.py`; output was `{'identity': None, 'public': b'claimant', 'calls': 2, ...}` and the assertion requiring `b'operator replacement'` failed.

Code review

Verdict: fail

1. Telegram health must become unhealthy whenever its long-poll receive path is unable to receive, and may become healthy again only after a successful receive operation. (connectors/telegram/src/aios_telegram/connector.py:213)

   Updater.start_polling() returns as soon as PTB has spawned its background polling task; it does not wait for a successful getUpdates. PTB then retries TelegramErrors indefinitely inside that background task without unwinding _run_polling. Consequently this code marks the connection ready before the first successful poll and leaves it serving throughout a prolonged Telegram/network outage—the exact dark-connector condition this PR is intended to detect.

   Failing test: Start _run_polling with a PTB updater whose bootstrap succeeds but whose background getUpdates repeatedly raises TelegramError; after a previously-ready connection enters that failure loop, assert its serve_status is not serving. On the current head it remains serving. Also assert readiness is restored only after a subsequent successful getUpdates.

   Suggested remedy: Supervise PTB's polling success/error transitions (or own the polling loop) and revoke/restore transport readiness from actual getUpdates outcomes rather than from start_polling() task startup.

Core liveness suites and connector suites otherwise passed in review; one combined runner-suite invocation showed a timing-only timeout that passed immediately in isolation.

Verdict: fail

• Property: A WhatsApp connection that is already receiving when the Python notification listener subscribes must become transport-ready; readiness must not depend on observing a transient connection-state edge that occurred before subscription.
  • Location: connectors/whatsapp/src/aios_whatsapp/connector.py:63-72,128-138 (with the startup ordering in connectors/whatsapp/daemon/cmd/whatsapp-daemon/main.go:74-81)
  • Failing test: Start a paired daemon whose WhatsApp handshake completes and broadcasts connectionState=connected before RpcListener.connect() subscribes, then start serve_connection; assert the connection eventually reaches serve_status == "serving". The current code remains starting indefinitely because broadcasts are best-effort to current subscribers and there is no state snapshot/query after subscribing.
  • Suggested remedy: Ensure a newly subscribed listener obtains the current upstream receive state (or explicitly queries it) so readiness converges even when the initial Connected notification was missed.

Checks run: focused connector-liveness/heartbeat suite passed (57 tests); Ruff and mypy passed for the primary new modules.

needs:human/livelock is CORRECT here — leaving it, and this is a scope decision, not a fix round (seat, 09:40Z)

Evidence: 48 commits, 27 files, +3256/-21 across six connectors and the shared runner; ~50 review verdicts in 31 hours, of which the last eight (06:04–08:44Z today) are alternating findings against three different surfaces — the runner's heartbeat claim path (runner.py, four rounds), then Telegram readiness (Updater.start_polling() returns before the first getUpdates), then WhatsApp readiness (a connectionState=connected edge that fires before the listener subscribes). Each fix round satisfies the previous property and exposes the next one in a different connector. That is not a counter defect (the company#399 shape); it is a PR whose scope is "every connector's readiness semantics", each of which is its own correctness problem with its own failure mode. The reconciler's cycle cap did its job.

Decision (seat): split. The shared-runner heartbeat/attribution work (the piece all four reviewers converged on and that now passes at 3ef6f2c0) is the value of #2153 (its title: a bound connector can go dark for days with no signal) and should land alone. Per-connector readiness semantics (Telegram long-poll, WhatsApp handshake edge, and whatever Signal/Slack/Matrix/SMS have) are one follow-up issue each, built against a runner that already exposes the health hook. Filing the split as a design note on #2153; the lane will pick up the narrowed PR. Not touching the label.

[eumemic]

Superseded by #2355 (runner + Dockerfile HEALTHCHECKs + matrix healthcheck, carved out of this branch at 3ef6f2c; all six connector suites pass against the new runner with the connector.py edits dropped). The per-connector readiness changes stay on dev-pipeline/issue-2153 for the follow-up issues named on #2153. Closing this PR so the aios lane's build slot is released; the branch is NOT deleted.
