magi/

queue.rs

//! The task queue: what magi should do next, and who asked for it.
//!
//! The queue is what lets magi run unattended. `magi serve` takes the next
//! task, runs the graph on it, records the outcome, and takes the next one.
//!
//! It is also the reason an agent can ask for work. `magi task add` is the
//! whole interface, and it is the same command whether a human types it at a
//! prompt, a phone posts it through the web UI, or an implementer inside a run
//! shells out to it because it noticed something worth doing but out of scope.
//! magi's CLI is the operating surface for both kinds of user; the queue is
//! where their intentions meet.
//!
//! One task is one JSON file under [`Queue`]'s root. Files rather than a
//! database because the operator has to be able to read, edit, and delete the
//! backlog with the tools already on the machine, and because a crashed daemon
//! must leave a queue the next one can pick up without recovery ceremony.
//!
//! # Shape
//!
//! [`Task`] is data plus *pure* state transitions - [`Task::fail`] decides
//! whether an attempt was the last one, and touches no disk. [`Queue`] owns all
//! I/O and is constructed with its root, so a test drives a real queue in a
//! temp directory without setting a process-global home. Splitting them this
//! way is why the retry policy below can be asserted directly.
//!
//! # Bounded by construction
//!
//! An autonomous loop that retries forever is a way to spend money on a task
//! that cannot succeed. Every claim increments [`Task::attempts`]; a task that
//! has burned its attempts becomes [`TaskStatus::Held`] and waits for a human
//! rather than for another agent.

/// On-disk format for a queued task. Bumped when a field's meaning changes.
///
/// 18: retained review criteria snapshots survive operator edits.
///
/// 17: durable explicit operator resumption, independent of run startup.
///
/// 7: added [`Task::attachments`], names of files copied under
/// `<id>.attachments/` beside the task file (a field only; `#[serde(default)]`,
/// so an older record reads as empty and [`read_path`] still accepts it).
///
/// 6: added [`Task::resume_override`] (a field only; `#[serde(default)]`, so
/// an older record reads as `None` and [`read_path`] still accepts it).
///
/// 5: added [`Task::triage_applied`], the ids of triage questions whose
/// answer has already been applied to this task. A "resume" answer used to
/// leave no trace ([`Task::release`] clears [`Task::hold_reason`], which was
/// the only place the applied marker lived), so when the released task failed
/// its attempts and went back to `held`, the next idle pass found the same
/// answered question "not applied" and released it again with `attempts` reset
/// to 0 - the `max_attempts` bound never held. `#[serde(default)]` so an older
/// record reads as empty. A task already looping when this build arrives has
/// no record, so it is released once more, recorded, and then stays held.
///
/// 8: added [`Task::followup`], the origin of a task `crate::followup` filed
/// from a merged run's leftover findings. Field-only bump, `#[serde(default)]`.
///
/// 4: added [`Task::blocked_from`], the status a task had the moment it
/// became [`TaskStatus::Blocked`], so [`Task::unblock`] restores it instead
/// of always landing on [`TaskStatus::Queued`]. Without it, a task a human
/// or `crate::triage` had deliberately left [`TaskStatus::Held`] — machine
/// or manual — would lose that the instant `crate::conduct` blocked it on a
/// follow-up question, and come back `Queued` the moment the question was
/// answered, regardless of what the answer said: exactly the loop where a
/// task the operator told to stay held instead re-enters the competition
/// queue every time someone answers a question about it. `#[serde(default)]`
/// so an older record reads as `None`; [`Task::unblock`] then falls back to
/// inferring `Held` from surviving hold evidence ([`Task::hold_reason`] /
/// [`Task::hold_source`], never cleared by [`Task::block`]) rather than
/// guessing `Queued` outright — see [`Task::unblock`]'s own doc.
///
/// 9: added [`Task::held_at`], the start of the current hold, so a notice can
/// tell a question filed for this hold from one about an older cause.
/// Field-only, `#[serde(default)]`.
///
/// 10: added [`Task::overrides`] and [`Task::review_of`], so a run started by
/// hand (`magi run` / `magi review`) is carried by a task without losing its
/// command-line choices. Field-only.
///
/// 11: added [`TaskStatus::Parked`] and [`Task::park_reason`], so a run that
/// stopped at a node boundary (an upgrade, an operator's park) is no longer
/// recorded as a failed task. Variant plus `#[serde(default)]` field; an older
/// build must not half-read the new status.
///
/// 12: added [`Task::origin_chat`], the talk a task descends from, so a
/// follow-up still knows its chat after an ancestor task is deleted.
/// Field-only, `#[serde(default)]`.
///
/// 13: added [`Task::chat_notice`], the record that a chat-filed task's final
/// state was reported to its conversation. Field-only, `#[serde(default)]`;
/// a record below this schema is never notified (an upgrade must not replay
/// the whole history into chats).
///
/// 3: added [`HoldSource`] so conductor recovery cannot release a hold an
/// operator deliberately placed. Old records default to `None` and are
/// protected as operator-held until an explicit release; the safe direction
/// when their author was never recorded.
///
/// 2: added [`TaskStatus::Blocked`], [`Task::blocked_by`] and
/// [`Task::block_reason`] (`crate::conduct`'s decisions) and
/// [`Task::answers`] (operator answers carried forward to the next
/// conductor prompt and the next run's instruction). All three are
/// `#[serde(default)]`, so [`read_path`] accepts anything up to and
/// including this schema rather than only an exact match — a task written
/// by a build that only knew about schema 1 has nothing to say about
/// blocking or answers, and defaulting those fields is exactly as good a
/// reading as a value that build never had a chance to write.
///
/// 15: added [`Task::passes`], what each settled pass over a run did to the
/// attempt budget and why it stopped. Field-only, `#[serde(default)]`; a task
/// from before this has no entry for its earlier passes, which stay unknown.
///
/// 14: record whether a task count edit's overrides inherit daemon options.
/// Old overrides default to isolated command-line settings, including empty ones.
///
/// 16: added [`Task::attempt_limit`], an optional task-specific retry budget.
/// Field-only, `#[serde(default)]`; old records inherit the daemon limit.
