selector.rs

1//! Server-side selector filtering for filtered subscriptions.
2//!
3//! `FilteredSubscription` advertises optional `workflow_type` and `status`
4//! selectors. The engine's `EventFilter` has no type or status dimension, so
5//! the selection runs at the socket seam, after the namespace gate proved
6//! ownership and resolved the workflow's recorded type from the same durable
7//! read.
8//!
9//! Selector semantics (documented in `docs/API.md`):
10//!
11//! - `workflow_type` matches when the event's workflow has that recorded type
12//!   at the time the namespace gate resolved it: the initial durable read
13//!   returns the head-of-history `WorkflowStarted` type at read time, which on
14//!   a continue-as-new chain can briefly run ahead of an older delivered event
15//!   (a one-event-loop forward-skew window) until the stream's own
16//!   `WorkflowStarted` refresh self-heals the cached type. A workflow whose
17//!   history records no started run never matches a type selector.
18//! - `status` matches per event kind: each terminal lifecycle event matches
19//!   exactly its projected status (`WorkflowCompleted` → `Completed`,
20//!   `WorkflowFailed` → `Failed`, `WorkflowCancelled` → `Cancelled`,
21//!   `WorkflowTimedOut` → `TimedOut`, `WorkflowContinuedAsNew` →
22//!   `ContinuedAsNew`); every other LIFECYCLE event — including
23//!   `WorkflowStarted` — matches `Running`. A LABEL-ONLY
24//!   `SearchAttributesUpdated` (a rename) is not a lifecycle event (#211) and
25//!   matches ANY status selector, because a workflow's display name changes in
26//!   every status and both forcing it into `Running` and withholding it from
27//!   the other buckets would be wrong. The `SearchAttributesUpdated` carrying a
28//!   run's PLACEMENT is recorded atomically with `WorkflowStarted` and matches
29//!   `Running` with it, so a terminal-status subscriber is not sent an
30//!   attribute frame for every workflow starting in the namespace.
31//! - When both selectors are present they AND together.

79/// The lifecycle status a single event's kind projects, or `None` when the
80/// event carries no lifecycle meaning at all.
81///
82/// Terminal lifecycle events project exactly their terminal status; the rest
83/// belong to a running workflow at the moment they were recorded — with ONE
84/// exception, which is why this returns an `Option` rather than a status.
85///
86/// A LABEL-ONLY `SearchAttributesUpdated` (#211: a rename) has no lifecycle
87/// meaning, and the label belongs to the WORKFLOW rather than to any one run —
88/// it is folded over the whole history, so a completed run's row shows a name as
89/// legitimate as a running one's, and a rename recorded now retitles every run
90/// of that workflow at once. Projecting it as `Running`, as this function once
91/// did, was wrong in both directions: a `Running` subscriber received the rename
92/// of a finished run, and a `Completed` subscriber never received renames of the
93/// runs it was actually displaying, so the name it showed went stale until a
94/// refetch. Status selectors are about LIFECYCLE, so an event with no lifecycle
95/// meaning answers `None` and passes every status selector instead of being
96/// forced into a bucket it does not belong to.
97///
98/// That exemption is scoped to label-only updates, and deliberately no wider.
99/// The engine also records a `SearchAttributesUpdated` in the same ATOMIC batch
100/// as `WorkflowStarted` (`record_workflow_started_with_attributes`), stamping
101/// the run's placement — so on a server-embedded engine every start emits one.
102/// Exempting that one too would hand a `status=Completed` subscriber an
103/// attribute frame for every workflow STARTING in the namespace: a delivery
104/// widening with no rename to justify it, over what is often the highest-volume
105/// event class there is. It accompanies a start, so it projects `Running`
106/// exactly like the `WorkflowStarted` it ships with. See
107/// [`is_start_time_stamp`] for how the two are told apart.
108///
109/// Returning `Option` rather than special-casing the caller is deliberate: it
110/// puts the exception in the type, so a future event kind with no lifecycle
111/// meaning cannot be given a wrong status by default.

165/// Whether a `SearchAttributesUpdated` is the PLACEMENT stamp the engine records
166/// atomically with `WorkflowStarted`, rather than a label change.
167///
168/// The two are told apart by the attributes they carry, which is exact rather
169/// than a heuristic because only two sites in the tree record this event:
170///
171/// * `lifecycle::start` stamps the run's placement, and the server's
172///   `start_search_attributes` ALWAYS writes [`NAMESPACE_ATTRIBUTE`] (the task
173///   queue and display name are conditional, the namespace is not);
174/// * `lifecycle::rename` records the display-name attribute and nothing else.
175///
176/// Both placement attributes are start-time-only by construction — the rename
177/// verb cannot write either, and no verb updates a namespace or task queue after
178/// the fact — so an update carrying one is the start stamp and an update
179/// carrying neither is a label change.
180///
181/// A caller embedding the engine directly could record a start whose attributes
182/// carry no placement at all; that stamp reads as a label change, so it answers
183/// `None` and passes every status selector.
184///
185/// Name that honestly: it is a WIDENING, not a preservation. Before #211 this
186/// function did not exist and EVERY `SearchAttributesUpdated` projected
187/// `Running`, so a placement-less start stamp reached only `status=Running`
188/// subscribers; now it reaches all of them. The widening is confined to
189/// DELIVERY — `event_status` feeds subscription filtering only, and
190/// `WorkflowStatus` itself is projected from history elsewhere and is untouched
191/// — and it costs one extra attribute frame to status-filtered subscribers of
192/// an embedded engine that stamps no placement, which the server's own
193/// `start_search_attributes` never does. Narrowing it back would require the
194/// selector to see the whole atomic batch rather than one event, which this
195/// call site cannot; that is the reason it stands, not that nothing changed.
