daemon.rs

//! The unattended loop: take the next task, run the graph, record what
//! happened, take the next one.
//!
//! This is what turns magi from a command a human types into something an
//! agent can hand work to. [`crate::queue`] is the mailbox; this module is the
//! thing that empties it. Nothing here decides *how* a task is implemented —
//! that is [`crate::graph`] — it only decides which task runs next, and what a
//! finished run means for the task that produced it.
//!
//! # One run at a time, on purpose
//!
//! There is no `--jobs` flag and there will not be one. A single run is
//! already internally parallel: candidates implement concurrently and judges
//! rank concurrently, so the machine is not idle while one task is in flight.
//! The real constraint is not CPU but the agent CLIs' quota, and two graphs at
//! once doubles the burn rate on exactly the resource whose exhaustion produces
//! [`RunStatus::Stalled`]. Serialising the loop is what keeps a full backlog
//! from converting the whole day's quota into a pile of untrustworthy verdicts.
//!
//! # A crash is legible, and the loop notices on its own
//!
//! The task is written as [`crate::queue::TaskStatus::Running`], with its run
//! id, *before* the graph starts, and is only rewritten once the run reaches a
//! terminal status. A daemon killed mid-run therefore leaves the task
//! `Running` and pointing at the run that was in flight. The alternative —
//! reverting the task to `Queued` on the way out — would hide the abandoned
//! run and re-spend its quota on the next poll.
//!
//! A task left `Running` forever is not the point, though:
//! [`crate::queue::TaskStatus::runnable`] never offers it again, so a daemon
//! that died mid-run would otherwise strand its task for good.
//! [`reclaim_orphaned_running`] runs on every poll and settles exactly the
//! tasks no live process is actually driving — proven by [`Queue::claim`]
//! succeeding rather than by a staleness guess — against whatever their last
//! run actually became, through the same [`settle`] a live finish uses. A run
//! that genuinely cannot be read still holds its task for a human; the run's
//! own report explains how far it got.
//!
//! # Retries are bounded
//!
//! Every attempt at a task consumes one of [`Opts::max_attempts`], after which
//! the task is [`crate::queue::TaskStatus::Held`] for a human. The one
//! exception is a run that ended `Stalled`: the panel collapsed because the
//! agent CLIs hit their quota, which is a fact about the machine and not about
//! the task, so it must not spend an attempt. Without that exception a quota
//! outage would quietly hold the entire backlog, and the operator would come
//! back to a reset quota and nothing left that the loop is willing to run.

/// stalled with `quota: []` after two judges wrote unusable JSON, was
/// refunded, and the next attempt paid for a fresh hour-long implement wave
/// before it could fail the same way. `max_attempts` exists precisely so
