triage.rs

//! Held-task triage: walking `held` tasks so a hold left by an accident does
//! not sit unread forever next to one a human placed on purpose.
//!
//! [`crate::queue::HoldSource`] already distinguishes "the daemon or
//! conductor held this during its own recovery" ([`HoldSource::Machine`],
//! documented as recoverable) from "an operator held this on purpose"
//! ([`HoldSource::Manual`]). What was missing was anything that actually acts
//! on that distinction: nothing walked the held list and asked whether a
//! machine hold's cause was still true, and a record written before
//! `hold_source` existed (schema < 3, `None`) was silently protected forever
//! by [`Task::operator_held`]'s conservative default - never wrong, but also
//! never looked at again by anything.
//!
//! [`run_once`] is that walk. For every `held` task it finds:
//!
//! - [`HoldSource::Machine`]: if [`machine_cause_resolved`] can tell the
//!   cause is gone, the task goes straight back to `queued` - the same effect
//!   as `magi task release`, just automatic. When it cannot tell, a
//!   [`Question`] is filed once and the task stays held until answered.
//! - `None` (a legacy record, or a hold nobody explained): always a question,
//!   exactly once - the whole point being that "protected forever" must not
//!   mean "never shown to anyone" either.
//! - [`HoldSource::Manual`]: never touched automatically. Only once the hold
//!   has sat untouched past [`MANUAL_STALE_AFTER`] does it earn a question of
//!   its own, asking whether it is still wanted.
//!
//! Every question this module files carries [`NODE`] and uses the task id as
//! [`Question::run`] - the same convention `crate::conduct`'s own questions
//! use for a task rather than a run (see `conduct::apply_one`'s own comment
//! on why the dedupe check there also filters on `node`, not `run` alone: an
//! ordinary graph question's `run` is a real run id, and a coincidental
//! equality with some task's id must not be read as "about this task").
//! [`latest_triage_question`] follows the identical rule.
//!
//! # Why answers apply here rather than through `crate::queue::Task::block`
//!
//! `crate::conduct` blocks a task on its own question
//! (`Task::block(vec![question_id], …)`), and `crate::daemon::resolve_blockers`
//! unblocks it - unconditionally, back to `queued` - the moment that question
//! is answered, whatever the answer actually said. That is correct for
//! `conduct`: the *content* of the answer is meant for whoever reads
//! `Task::answers` next, not for the resolver.
//!
//! A triage question's answer is different: "not yet" and "discard it" do two
//! entirely different, non-resuming things, and only "resume it" may put the
//! task back in line. Reusing the generic blocked/unblock path would resume
//! every answer alike, so this module never calls [`Task::block`] and never
//! leaves a triaged task anything but `held` while its question is open.
//! [`interpret_answer`] reads [`Question::resolution`] itself and
//! [`run_once`] acts on it directly: [`Task::release`] for an actual "resume
//! it" choice, [`Queue::remove`] for "discard it" (捨ててよい really means
//! "you may throw this away", not "leave it sitting held" - the English
//! wording must say the same thing, not "leave it held"), and
//! [`Task::hold_manual`] for anything else - which both keeps the task held
//! and reclassifies it as a hold an operator has now actually seen, one
//! `crate::conduct` and a later triage pass leave alone.
//!
//! The choice is read by its **position** in [`Question::choices`]
//! ([`Wording::choices3`]/[`Wording::choices2`] always put "resume" first and
//! "discard" third), never by comparing the answer text against [`Wording`]'s
//! own strings picked from whatever config is in force *now* - the language a
//! question was filed in and the language a later `run_once` call happens to
//! read back are not guaranteed to be the same call's [`Config`], and a text
//! comparison would silently misread a real "resume" answer as "keep held"
//! the moment they disagree.
//!
//! # Idempotency
//!
//! [`run_once`] runs on every daemon idle tick (see `crate::daemon::poll`)
//! and on every `magi task triage`, so an answered question must be applied to
//! a task **at most once**, and a *fresh* question for the same task (once it
//! is held again, or goes stale) must still be possible. The record is
//! [`Task::triage_applied`], the question ids already applied. It cannot live
//! in [`Task::hold_reason`]: [`Task::release`] clears that, so a "resume"
//! answer left no trace, and a released task that failed back to `held` was
//! released again by the same old answer with its attempts reset - forever.
//! A task that comes back to `held` after an applied answer is therefore a
//! new hold, handled per [`HoldSource`] (a fresh question for a machine hold).
//! [`already_applied`] also still reads the `[triage:<short>]` marker
//! [`keep_held_note`] appends to the hold reason, for records that pre-date
//! the field.
