fix(runtime): dial the host broker at bind time - #22
Merged
Merged
Conversation
go-plugin keeps the connection info the host sends for a brokered stream for only five seconds (GRPCBroker.timeoutWait). The host sends it from AcceptAndServe just before calling BindHostBroker, but the SDK dialed the stream lazily on the first Host() call. A plugin whose first host call came later than that, which is the normal case for a resident network access provider idling until an admin connects it, found the stream expired and every Host() call returned nil for the rest of the process: Connect could not read host info or persist state and timed out. setBrokerID now dials as soon as the host binds the stream, while the window is open; runtimehost calls multiplex over that one connection as before. Observed against a running Silo stack: a provider connected within five seconds of start worked, one connected twenty seconds after start never could.

Propagate a failed broker bind
In non-multiplexed go-plugin mode, GRPCBroker.Dial can return an error when it cannot obtain the host's ConnInfo within its five-second wait. dialLocked discards this error, and both BindHostBroker handlers return success. A later Host() call retries the same broker ID, but the host does not resend ConnInfo, so Host() can remain nil. Return the dial error from the bind RPC so the host can retry the bind.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR is a focused runtime fix that moves broker dialing into host-broker binding and adds platform metadata to an example. Because bind-time dial failures are still discarded while the bind RPC reports success, a failed connection can leave plugins unable to reach the host and warrants human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

…ort (#1096) * feat(plugins): resident network-access providers with proxy-node support #1001 settled on shipping overlay-network access (Tailscale via tsnet first) as a plugin. The host could not run such a plugin: plugins started lazily on first RPC and never restarted, had no per-instance state store, no way to learn the local listeners, and no way to tell the host which network a request came in on. Stream URLs handed to clients always used a proxy's LAN or public address, which an overlay client cannot reach. Resident plugins: any enabled installation declaring network_access_provider.v1 starts after the API listener binds, restarts on exit with 1s to 60s backoff, parks after ten consecutive failures, and stops before HTTP drain. pluginhost gains an exit watcher and a start sequence so a newer supervisor generation never adopts a launch an older one started through the singleflight join. The admin installation record carries a runtime block and a restart operation; the web plugins page reads it. Host services: GetHostInfo is implemented (role, node id, listeners, an ingress token), plus ReadInstanceState and WriteInstanceState over a new plugin_instance_state table encrypted per row and scoped by installation and host, and ReportNetworkAccessStatus. Access path: the plugin stamps a per-start X-Silo-Ingress-Token on the requests it proxies. Middleware on the API, Jellyfin, and ABS listeners maps it to a provider and strips it. Proxy nodes report each provider's overlay origin in the health pull, stored in stream_nodes.network_access, and Node.ClientURLFor picks the origin for the request's path. Proxies without an origin for that path drop out of eligibility so the existing API-relative fallback applies. WebSocket origin checks accept the overlay origins of connected providers. The prepared-download preflight now dials the proxy's backend URL, since the overlay origin may not resolve from the API process. Proxy mode runs the same installation with a node:<id> state scope, rehydrates the archive from plugin_archives into its own cache dir, and reconciles on a plugins-changed Redis event and a 60 s poll. Admin routes under /api/v2/network-access fan status, connect, and disconnect out to every enabled proxy over its backend URL with the node bearer. Pins silo-plugin-sdk to the network-access branch; swap to v0.16.0 once Silo-Server/silo-plugin-sdk#21 is tagged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(plugins): address review findings on resident providers Review findings on #1096, each with a regression test: - netaccess.Broker serializes Issue and Revoke so an old process's revoke can no longer forget the status a replacement pushed between the registry revoke and the cache forget. - A superseded successful launch is stopped when its entry is parked (stopped or failed), not only when the entry is gone or the supervisor halted; a launch a newer starting generation may adopt is still left to that generation's start-sequence check. - A failed provider RPC on a running process reports unavailable to the status sink so a dead overlay origin stops being advertised to the origin check and the node health report. - Instance-state writes take a per-scope transaction advisory lock so concurrent first writes of distinct keys cannot overshoot the 256-key budget. - Duplicate provider slugs resolve to the lowest enabled installation id everywhere (provider list, commands, node health map) with a warning, instead of the first-listed installation on one path and map order on another. - A proxy rehydrating a stored archive checks the binary's platform against its own and refuses a foreign one with a clear error; the archive was resolved for the API server's platform at install time. Documented as a same-platform requirement for this release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(plugins): reject null host selectors and stop providers on disabled proxies Second round of review findings on #1096: - {"hosts": null} on connect and disconnect decoded to the same nil as omission, which means every host. The command body now records an explicit null in its decoder and the operation answers 422 for it; RawBody was not used because it would make the optional body required in the document. - A proxy's resident gate only checked that its stream_nodes row existed, so a disabled or retyped node kept serving overlay ingress while the API no longer listed it as a host that could be disconnected. The gate now requires an enabled proxy row. - Every unavailable answer from applyNetworkAccess reports to the status sink, not only the RPC-failure path, so a parked or gated instance's cached origin is dropped as well. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(plugins): pin silo-plugin-sdk v0.16.1 and cover host callbacks after idle Live testing with the stub provider on a sandbox (API server plus one proxy and one transcode node) found that a provider connected more than five seconds after its process started could never reach the host: go-plugin drops the pending broker stream after five seconds and the SDK dialed it lazily on the first Host() call. Connect then timed out on every host. Silo-Server/silo-plugin-sdk#22 (v0.16.1) dials at bind time. The resident fixture's GetStatus now makes a host call and reports whether it worked, and a new test idles six seconds after start before the first callback. It fails against v0.16.0 and passes against v0.16.1. The resident test host binds the RuntimeHost broker so fixtures can call back at all. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(plugins): never run a duplicate-slug provider; no timestamp on unavailable Review findings on #1096: - The resident set excluded nothing, so a second enabled installation declaring an already-owned provider slug kept running and serving ingress while every command and status read addressed the owner. The supervisor now derives ownership the same way the provider list does and does not start the duplicate on any host. - An unavailable answer synthesized by the host carried updated_at set to now, but the contract defines that field as when the host last heard from the provider and says it is absent while unavailable. The cache still stamps its own copy; the wire status carries none. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(plugins): drop status pushes from revoked processes; restart on node identity change Review findings on #1096: - A status push in flight while its process was being stopped, crashed, or replaced could land after the revoke and write a stale connected origin back into the cache; on a proxy the next health sweep then persisted a dead origin. The broker now accepts a push only from the process holding the installation's current ingress token, checked under the same lock Revoke takes, and the host RPC drops the rest. - A proxy whose stream_nodes row was deleted and re-registered resolved a new id, and the per-call state scope followed it while the running provider kept the old identity in memory. The supervisor now tracks the host identity each resident was started under and replaces every running resident when it changes; the proxy supplies its node scope.

Test races eight reconciles against a disable under the race detector. - RestartInstallation now advances runtime_generation before restarting locally, so a proxy whose lifecycle subscription missed the event replaces its process on the next poll and a failed entry's budget is cleared there too.

The event is now a plain reconcile when the generation was persisted, and it is published whether or not this host runs the resident itself. Test: TestAdminRestartReplacesFollowerProcessOnce. - The broker idle test documents why it sleeps (go-plugin's five-second pending-stream window is a constant with no seam or signal) and that a late cleanup can only make it pass vacuously, never fail; it is skipped under -short.

NextStartSeq is now part of the plugins.Host interface and the adapter forwards it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(plugins): reject a null command body, report ownership, refresh the restart receipt Review findings on #1096: - A literal null request body on connect and disconnect decoded to a nil body, which means every host. The input now records whether a body was sent at all and answers 422 for null; omission still means every host. - The admin installation view flagged every enabled installation with a resident capability as resident, including a duplicate provider slug the supervisor deliberately does not own, so the web page offered a restart that could not start anything. Once the supervisor is armed its entries decide; the capability is used only before boot finishes. - The restart receipt was built from the pre-restart row and carried a stale updated_at after the generation bump; it now reloads the row.

Problem
Related issue: Silo-Server/silo-server#1001
runtime.Host()dialed the RuntimeHost broker stream lazily on first use. go-plugin discards the pending connection info for a brokered stream after five seconds (GRPCBroker.timeoutWait), and the host sends that info immediately beforeBindHostBroker. Any plugin whose first host call came more than five seconds after start gotnilfromHost()for the rest of its life. That is the normal timeline for a resident network access provider, which idles until an admin connects it.Observed against a running Silo stack with the stub example:
Connectwithin five seconds of start succeeded;Connecttwenty seconds after start reportedbroker unavailable, could not read host info or persist state, and timed out on the server.Approach
setBrokerIDdials the stream as soon as the host binds it, while the window is open.Host()reuses that client; runtimehost RPCs multiplex over the one connection as before. No API change.Also carried here:
examples/hello-network-access/manifest.jsongainssupported_platforms. The server's manifest validation requires it, so the example could not be uploaded to a Silo server as shipped in v0.16.0.Validation
A server-side regression test in Silo-Server/silo-server#1096 starts the fixture provider, idles six seconds, and then makes a host call; it fails against v0.16.0 and passes against this branch. The stub provider on a live stack now connects after any idle period.
Risks
None identified beyond the behaviour change itself: a plugin that never calls the host now holds one idle brokered connection.
