8//! Split out of `mod.rs` when the shutdown-ordering change took that file
9//! over the 500-line ratchet. It is a clean seam: the limits are plain data
10//! with setters, and everything that acts on them stays in `mod.rs`.

14/// How long to wait for in-flight connections once shutdown is signalled.
15///
16/// Fifteen seconds, after [`DEFAULT_TASK_GRACE`], keeps the two within a
17/// Kubernetes `terminationGracePeriodSeconds` default of 30, leaving room for
18/// the protocol-layer [`RequestHandler::shutdown`](crate::RequestHandler::shutdown)
19/// that follows. Streams no longer hold it open — their tasks have ended by the
20/// time it starts — so what it waits for is requests that are not tasks. One
21/// behind a proxy that already drains can lower it.
22pub const DEFAULT_DRAIN_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(15);
23
24/// How long a peer may take to send a complete set of request headers.
25///
26/// Thirty seconds is hyper's own default for this, kept rather than re-chosen.
27/// What changes here is that it now *applies*. Hyper honours the setting only
28/// when a [`Timer`](hyper::rt::Timer) is installed on the connection builder,
29/// and neither this server nor [`serve`](crate::serve::serve) installed one — so the
30/// default was inert. Hyper says so at warn level when it drops it, in a log
31/// line nobody was reading.
32pub const DEFAULT_HEADER_READ_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(30);
33
34/// How long a connection may sit with no bytes moving in either direction.
35///
36/// Seventy-five seconds matches nginx's `keepalive_timeout`, which is what most
37/// clients and proxies in front of this server are already tuned against.
38///
39/// It must stay comfortably above
40/// [`DispatchConfig::sse_keep_alive_interval`](crate::DispatchConfig::sse_keep_alive_interval)
41/// (30 seconds by default), because those keep-alive comments are what make a
42/// quiet SSE stream look busy to this timer. Lowering one without the other is
43/// how a streaming deployment starts dropping idle subscribers.
44pub const DEFAULT_IDLE_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(75);
45
46/// How long in-flight tasks get, once shutdown is signalled, to finish on
47/// their own before they are cancelled.
48///
49/// Five seconds covers the blocking sends and short streams that make up most
50/// traffic, so a rolling deploy does not turn them into `Canceled` answers
51/// their callers may retry. It is deliberately short: work that is still
52/// running after it is usually a long delegation, which no window short of
53/// the platform's kill deadline would see finish, and which needs the time
54/// that follows — [`DEFAULT_TASK_GRACE`] — to cancel what it delegated.
55/// Zero cancels at once.
56pub const DEFAULT_COMPLETION_GRACE: Duration = Duration::from_secs(5);
57
58/// How long in-flight tasks get, once cancelled at shutdown, to act on their
59/// cancellation before the connection drain starts.
60///
61/// Ten seconds is enough for an executor to send `CancelTask` to the agents
62/// it delegated to — one round trip each, in parallel or not — and for its
63/// terminal event to be persisted and flushed to open streams.
64///
65/// With [`DEFAULT_COMPLETION_GRACE`] and [`DEFAULT_DRAIN_TIMEOUT`] the three
66/// phases are bounded by 30 seconds together, which is exactly a Kubernetes
67/// `terminationGracePeriodSeconds` default, so set that higher if the bound
68/// can be reached. It rarely is: each phase ends as soon as its work does,
69/// and by the time the drain starts a stream whose task has ended is a
70/// connection that closes.
