74 /// Closes the engine-task epoch with `EngineTaskRuntime::shutdown`, whose

76 /// cleanup safe even when this `Drop` runs inside a host async context: the

78 /// released before `Drop` returns. The gate remains load-bearing for an
79 /// attempt already past an await boundary: its append boundary reads
80 /// `is_epoch_open` and refuses.

83 ///
84 /// It runs on the HOST runtime, not the engine-task executor, so the epoch
85 /// gate does not reach it — and dropping its `JoinHandle` detaches rather
86 /// than cancels. It is an unbounded loop holding the event store and the
87 /// visibility store, and `reconcile_visibility` WRITES. Left detached, an
88 /// engine released without `shutdown` went on upserting visibility rows for
89 /// the life of the process, against a store a successor engine may already
90 /// own. `Engine::shutdown` aborts it as its first act; this does the same,
91 /// so the two paths agree.
92 ///
93 /// # The live timer wheel is disarmed here for the third time, same reason

95 /// 🔴 THIS WAS MISSING, AND IT LEFT A DURABLE WRITER ARMED. Live-wheel
96 /// timer tasks are `tokio::spawn`ed on the HOST runtime
97 /// (`runtime/nif_timer_bridge.rs`), so — exactly like the reconciliation
98 /// loop — the engine-task epoch gate does not reach them. Their body is
99 /// `fire_wheel_timer`, which records a durable `TimerFired`. They hold a
100 /// `Weak<EngineNifState>`, and this drop deliberately does NOT clear the
101 /// seams (see below), so that upgrade succeeds and the fire proceeds.
102 ///
103 /// An engine released without `shutdown` therefore kept a durable-append
104 /// path armed for the life of the process. `Engine::shutdown` names the
105 /// consequence precisely: across a failover, the dead owner's orphaned
106 /// wheel task races the survivor's adoption-armed timer and can record the
107 /// one durable `TimerFired` first, leaving the survivor's resident sleeper
108 /// parked forever. That is the single-writer invariant, and nothing about
109 /// it cares whether the engine was shut down or dropped.
110 ///
111 /// Safe in a `Drop`: `shutdown_timer_wheel` sets a flag and then performs a
112 /// `DashMap` drain plus `abort()` — non-blocking, structurally identical to
113 /// the `visibility_reconciliation_task.abort()` above. It therefore remains
114 /// safe before the joined engine-task shutdown below.
115 ///
116 /// 🔴 AND IT IS A GATE, NOT ONLY A DRAIN — which it had to become for this
117 /// `Drop` to be worth anything. A drain closes the set of timers armed at
118 /// one instant; this `Drop` deliberately leaves the beamr scheduler and the
119 /// engine seams alive, so a workflow process still runnable could reach
120 /// `sleep` a moment later and arm a fresh durable `TimerFired` writer
121 /// through a wheel this drop believed it had emptied. `arm_timer` now
122 /// refuses once the flag is set (`nif_timer_bridge.rs`, `shut_down`), so
123 /// the guarantee below is a property of the wheel from here on rather than
124 /// of one instant.
125 ///
126 /// # 🔴 WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO, STATED SO NOBODY READS MORE INTO IT
127 ///
128 /// It does not clear the engine NIF seams. Those hold `Arc`s back to the
129 /// `RuntimeHandle`, so until `clear_engine_seams` runs the handle, its
130 /// beamr scheduler and every store clone they reach outlive this drop.
131 /// `Engine::shutdown` clears them only after the scheduler has stopped and
132 /// the child-task and timer-wheel epochs have closed; none of that has
133 /// happened here, and a NIF could still read a slot this drop cleared.
134 /// Trading a scheduler leak for a use-after-clear is the wrong direction,
135 /// so that leak stands and is named: **an engine released without explicit
136 /// `shutdown` still holds its scheduler and installed seams.** The dedicated
137 /// engine-task executor is different: it is joined below so its I/O driver
138 /// cannot accumulate process descriptors. What this drop guarantees for
139 /// durability is still narrower — **no durable writer this drop can reach
140 /// keeps writing, and no writer it cannot reach can end a run.** The first
141 /// clause covers FOUR BACKGROUND writers, stopped in two different ways:
142 ///
143 /// 1. anything armed on the **engine-task epoch** — `shutdown()` below;
144 /// 2. the **visibility reconciliation loop** — `abort()` below;
145 /// 3. the **live timer wheel** — `shutdown_timer_wheel()` below, which
146 /// gates and drains, *and* refuses at the point of writing, because
147 /// `abort` cannot stop a task already inside a poll. That refusal is in
148 /// TWO places, not one, and the second is easy to miss: an ordinary timer
149 /// is refused at the bridge's append boundary
150 /// (`nif_timer_bridge.rs`, `record_workflow_event`), but a reserved
151 /// `deadline:{run}` fire never reaches that boundary — `fire_timer_guarded`
152 /// demuxes it to the deadline handler first — so it is refused inside
153 /// [`crate::lifecycle::deadline::WorkflowDeadlineHandler`] instead, off
154 /// the same latch;
155 /// 4. the **activity completion / retry task**
156 /// ([`crate::runtime::nif_activity_retry_dispatch::spawn_completion_task`]),
157 /// which this drop **cannot reach at all**: its `JoinHandle` is
158 /// discarded, so it is detached on the host runtime and nothing here
159 /// registers or aborts it. It is stopped instead at its append boundary,
160 /// which reads `is_epoch_open()` under the recorder lock — so step 1's
161 /// the engine-task epoch closure is what silences it, one indirection away.
162 ///
163 /// # 🔴 AND THERE IS A FIFTH, WHICH IS NOT A BACKGROUND WRITER AT ALL
164 ///
165 /// The four above are things the engine spawned; this drop stops them
166 /// because it can reach them. The fifth is the **workflow process itself**,
167 /// and this drop deliberately does not stop it — it leaves the beamr
168 /// scheduler running and the NIF seams installed, which is exactly what the
169 /// section above says it is trading for. A still-runnable workflow process
170 /// therefore keeps calling NIFs after the `Engine` is gone, and **13 of the
171 /// 24 registered engine NIFs perform durable writes** — `dispatch_activity`,
172 /// `dispatch_activity_in_vm`, `await_activity_result`, `sleep`,
173 /// `start_timer`, `cancel_timer`, `with_timeout`, `continue_as_new`,
174 /// `send_signal`, `spawn_child`, `collect_all`, `collect_race`,
175 /// `collect_map`. The other 11 read or reply and record nothing. The
176 /// registration table is `runtime::engine_nifs::engine_nif_entries`, whose
177 /// own test asserts the total, so both halves of that split are checkable
178 /// against a closed set rather than taken on trust — which is the point,
179 /// since the first draft of this paragraph carried a transposed count.
180 /// None of the 13 consults the engine-task epoch, and
181 /// nothing in the append path does either: `NifContext::block_on_recorder`
182 /// takes the recorder lock and nothing else, and `Recorder::append_one`
183 /// goes straight to `store.append`.
184 ///
185 /// An earlier revision of this doc said "there are FOUR" full stop, and was
186 /// wrong in the way that matters most: it did not omit an obscure writer, it
187 /// omitted **the one that executes user code**.
188 ///
189 /// What has been closed is the part that can END A RUN.
190 /// `WorkflowContinuedAsNew` is a TERMINAL, it was the ONE terminal this
191 /// fifth writer could still record, and it is now refused off the same epoch
192 /// (`runtime::nif_continue_as_new::record_continuation`). The reason it had
193 /// to be, in one line: **the successor run that terminal obliges was already
194 /// refused** at `completion::start_continuation_replacement`, so the two
195 /// halves of one transition disagreed and the run was left terminal with no
196 /// continuation. Every other terminal reachable from workflow code was
197 /// already gated — process exit at the completion append boundary,
198 /// `WorkflowTimedOut` off the timer bridge's stand-down latch.
199 ///
200 /// **And the refusal ENDS THE PROCESS, which is the half that makes it a
201 /// gain rather than a trade.** Before the gate, the recorder call either
202 /// succeeded or aborted the NIF, and the success path always reached
203 /// `cancel_pid` — that instruction is where this fifth writer died. A
204 /// refusal that merely returned early would have removed it, leaving the
205 /// process runnable and free to make every ungated write listed below. So
206 /// `runtime::nif_continue_as_new` terminates on the epoch refusal too — and,
207 /// of the refusals, on that one ONLY. A pre-terminal store fault is an
208 /// ordinary error workflow code may handle, and killing a process for it
209 /// would turn a transient blip into a dead run; an already-terminal run is
210 /// spared for a different reason — its terminal was recorded by a seam
211 /// that owns its own teardown, and of those owners some end the pid (a
212 /// second `cancel_pid` from here would race them) while some only
213 /// deregister (a kill from here would usurp them). The predicate's doc
214 /// carries that split; the "Five ordinary terminal paths" paragraph in
215 /// `lifecycle/completion.rs` carries the one enumeration of the owners.
216 /// It ALSO terminates whenever the terminal actually landed, including
217 /// the half-completed case where the terminal is durable but the deadline
218 /// retirement that follows it failed — because the question that decides
219 /// this is "did the terminal land", not "was there an error". The
220 /// predicate is `outcome_must_end_the_process`, pinned by a test with both
221 /// negative controls.
222 ///
223 /// The cost, stated because it is not zero: the refusal returns before
224 /// `retire_run_deadline`, so the predecessor's deadline row stays armed. A
225 /// restart gap longer than the run's remaining budget times the run out
226 /// instead of continuing it. That is the same exposure every other in-flight
227 /// run already carries across an outage; the old path escaped it only by
228 /// recording a terminal for a transition that never completed.
229 ///
230 /// # 🔴 WHAT IS STILL OPEN, AND WHY IT IS NOT CLOSED HERE
231 ///
232 /// A workflow process refused by the EPOCH gate is now stopped, so the
233 /// writes below are not reachable from that path. Say "the epoch gate" and
234 /// not "was refused": the other refusals deliberately leave the process
235 /// alive, so a reader who takes this sentence at its widest reading would
236 /// believe an exposure is closed that is open by design.
237 ///
238 /// They remain fully open on every other path — a process that never calls
239 /// `continue_as_new` is untouched by any of this and keeps writing.
240 ///
241 /// The fifth writer's NON-terminal durable writes are ungated and remain so:
242 /// `TimerStarted` plus a durable timer row (`sleep`, `start_timer`,
243 /// `with_timeout` — `TimerService::schedule` writes the row and only then
244 /// arms, so the wheel's refusal lands after both), activity schedule/start
245 /// and completion records, `spawn_child`'s whole child-start chain, and
246 /// `send_signal`, which writes into a THIRD workflow's history.
247 ///
248 /// Two things bound that, and neither is what a reader might assume:
249 /// - `WriteToken` fences NOTHING. It is a zero-sized marker with a public
250 /// `recorder()` constructor and no engine, epoch, lease or node identity;
251 /// two engines over one store both mint valid ones. Its own doc says so —
252 /// it exists to stop an `Arc<dyn EventStore>` alone being write authority.
253 /// - `SequenceConflict` catches only the LOSER of a head race, and a
254 /// released engine is structurally positioned to be the winner: its
255 /// Recorder is the one already at the current head, because it is the one
256 /// that has been appending. If it writes first, its write succeeds and the
257 /// SUCCESSOR takes the conflict.
258 ///
259 /// So the remaining exposure is real and is stated rather than denied. It is
260 /// not closed here because **no flag in this crate distinguishes "released"
261 /// from "shutting down"** — `begin_close` sets one bit and both `Engine::drop`
262 /// and `Engine::shutdown` set it. A gate on that bit at a workflow-process
263 /// write path would therefore also fire during an ORDINARY graceful
264 /// shutdown, for the whole unbounded span between `begin_close()` and
265 /// `runtime.shutdown()` further down this file, and there the failure is an
266 /// `{error, _}` returned INSIDE running workflow code — a failed `sleep`, a
267 /// failed `spawn_child` — on runs the shutdown was trying to leave intact.
268 /// The terminal was worth that trade because its successor was already
269 /// refused at `start_continuation_replacement`: recording it could only
270 /// produce a run that is terminal with no continuation.
271 ///
272 /// ⚠️ **Refusing it is not free, and an earlier revision of this sentence
273 /// said it was.** It read "refusing cost nothing that was not already lost",
274 /// which is the exact claim `runtime::nif_continue_as_new`'s own
275 /// documentation exists to retract — and which the "cost, stated because it
276 /// is not zero" paragraph above already contradicts. The price is stated
277 /// there and holds here: the refusal returns before `retire_run_deadline`,
278 /// so the predecessor's deadline stays armed and a long enough outage
279 /// times the run out instead of continuing it. What makes the trade worth
280 /// taking is not that it is free but that the alternative bought its
281 /// exemption with a false terminal.
282 ///
283 /// Refusing ordinary progress is a different bargain and needs a latch that
284 /// means what it says. Do not add one of these gates without adding that
285 /// latch.
286 ///
287 /// 🔴 THAT LIST IS A CLAIM ABOUT DURABLE WRITERS AND IT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS
288 /// ITS ENUMERATION — four times proven. An earlier revision named two and
289 /// was wrong: the timer wheel was the third, and it was armed. The revision
290 /// after that named three and was also wrong: the completion task was the
291 /// fourth, it had no epoch check of any kind, and it sleeps an
292 /// SDK-declared backoff with no ceiling between attempts. And the revision
293 /// after THAT — the one that added the wheel's append-boundary refusal —
294 /// wrote entry 3 as though that boundary covered the whole wheel, when the
295 /// deadline path is demuxed away before it and had no refusal at all: an
296 /// engine released without `shutdown` could still record a durable
297 /// `WorkflowTimedOut` and tear a run down. **The enumeration was right and
298 /// the mechanism named under it was not**, which is the harder failure to
299 /// see, because the list looked complete.
300 ///
301 /// And the FOURTH time is the section above: every revision so far had
302 /// enumerated only what this drop *reaches*, and then written a guarantee
303 /// over every writer that *exists*. The workflow process is not on any list
304 /// of things a `Recorder` grep or a `spawn` grep produces, because nobody
305 /// spawned it here and it holds no handle this file can see — it is reached
306 /// through an installed NIF seam by code the operator wrote. **A search
307 /// shaped like the mechanism you already know will not find the writer you
308 /// do not.** That is why the method below now starts from the NIF
309 /// registration table, which is a closed set that something asserts the size
310 /// of, rather than from a grep whose completeness nothing checks.
311 ///
312 /// The way to check this list is: take
313 /// `runtime::engine_nifs::engine_nif_entries` and account for every entry;
314 /// grep the crate for every construction of a `Recorder` handle and every
315 /// detached `spawn`; and then, for each writer either search yields, follow

628 // that arms completion retries in the first place — blocks this
629 // function indefinitely, and the operator reasonably concludes the

641 // already closed. A run exiting in that window records no terminal and
642 // stays `Running` in the store, with one `error!` line naming it. The
643 // span is UNBOUNDED — `close_and_wait` is a condvar wait with no
644 // timeout — and it is longest under exactly the degraded-store
645 // condition the completion retries exist for. That window is the price
646 // of the two properties above and is argued in full at the refusal site

654 // sites — an orphaned wheel task racing a survivor's adoption timer, and
655 // a durable backend's writer lock held past shutdown. Neither is
656 // something to trade for reporting an earlier error sooner.
657 //
658 // 🔴 THE SEAM CLEARING IS THE HALF WITH NO BACKSTOP, AND THAT IS THE
659 // WHOLE REASON. An earlier revision said `Drop for Engine` "backstops
660 // neither", which stopped being true in this same file when `Drop`
661 // gained `shutdown_timer_wheel` (see it above) — so the wheel half IS
662 // backstopped, and a reader checking only that half would conclude the
663 // `?` costs nothing. It does: `clear_engine_seams` runs from
664 // `Engine::shutdown` and NOWHERE else, by design — it may only run once
665 // the scheduler has stopped and both epochs are closed, which `Drop`
666 // cannot establish. Skip it and the `RuntimeHandle` ↔ `EngineNifState`
667 // cycle is never broken, so every store clone reached through the seams
668 // outlives the process's interest in them and a durable backend's
669 // cross-process writer lock is held until exit.

675 // operation admitted before the poison may still be in flight when
676 // `runtime.shutdown()` stops the scheduler and `clear_engine_seams()`
677 // nulls the seam slots. That is not a memory hazard (the slots are
678 // `Option`-shaped and a NIF reading a cleared one gets a typed error),
679 // and no NEW operation can be admitted either, because `begin_start`
680 // and `begin_operation` share the same poisoned `state()`. What is lost
