…mission Isolated node's term inflation no longer disrupts a healthy leader. - PreVote round before every real election (no term bump, no persist) - Follower and leader refuse vote/PreVote while a leader is alive - Persist and fsync hard state before replying; flush failure is fatal - Clear voted_for on term increase only; keep it on same-term step-down - Candidate adopts a higher term even when the vote is not grantable - Only active voters campaign; none with an unapplied config change - First election round starts immediately - Read lease published only after the leader's noop is applied - Leader rejects client writes after election_timeout_min without a quorum ACK, steps down after election_timeout_max x multiple - Re-arm the replication timer on step-down; re-arm timer and guard after a long snapshot install - Config: write_admission_election_timeout_multiple, pending limits must exceed max_batch_size, election_timeout_min >= 3 x heartbeat

355-366: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winThis test can fail on a slow CI host because it uses real-time sleeps.
offer_writeadmits a write only whilenow_ms() - last_quorum_contact_ms <= election_timeout_min, which is 20 ms here. The finalquorum_acks_nowruns immediately beforeoffer_write, so the normal margin is large. Other tests in this file use 1 ms timeouts and windows of 30–160 ms:
offer_writetreats a missing reply within 1 ms as "accepted".test_leader_stays_when_silence_is_inside_the_limitsleeps 30 ms against an 80 ms step-down limit.On a loaded CI host, a scheduling stall of tens of milliseconds can flip these results. Use
tokio::time::pause()with a mocked clock, or use larger timing margins. Note thatnow_msusesstd::time::Instant, so it would also need an injectable clock for a paused tokio clock to help.Based on learnings: "Tests should be deterministic: avoid reliance on real timing, sleep-based synchronization."

Document the new startup constraints for existing configurations.
A configuration that passed the previous validator but has election_timeout_min < 3 * rpc_append_entries_clock_in_ms or a nonzero pending limit <= batching.max_batch_size can now prevent startup. Add an upgrade note with both constraints and the accepted alternatives (0 for unlimited pending limits).

Codecov Report❌ Patch coverage is 📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know! |
A leader in the minority of a 5+ voter cluster, still reached by one follower, kept renewing its lease and never stepped down: the commit median over stored match_index stayed true for unreachable peers. - Track each voter's last acknowledged heartbeat send time - Quorum time = the (voters/2)-th largest of them; match_index now feeds the commit index only - Renew the lease, release queued reads and refresh the contact time only when the quorum time moves forward - Skip the recompute for replies that cannot advance it (no allocation, no sort) - Drop left voters and reset the quorum time on membership change - Split handle_append_result into record_voter_ack and on_quorum_confirmed Known limit: the send time is still the leader's latest round, not the round a reply acknowledges (can overshoot with pipelined replies).

record_voter_ackcallsinsertwith no condition. The code suppliessend_tsfromlast_round_send_ts(), which is the leader's latest round. That value does not decrease over time, so a regression is unlikely today. However, the cheap-exit comment states "send times never decrease" as an invariant, andinsertdoes not enforce it. If a future caller passes the send time of the round that was actually acknowledged, a late pipelined reply would lower that peer's time.

What Does This PR Do?
An isolated node no longer inflates its term and disrupts a healthy leader (#423): elections now run a PreVote round first and live leaders are protected by a lease guard. Review of the vote path also fixed several Raft safety/liveness defects, and a leader without a quorum now rejects writes and steps down.
Type:
Why Is This Needed?
For bugs: A node cut off from the cluster times out repeatedly and bumps its term. When it reconnects, the higher term makes the healthy leader step down and forces an election.
Fix:
Defects found while reviewing the vote path, each fixed with a failing test first:
votedForis per term).Leader without a quorum (
BackpressureConfig.write_admission_election_timeout_multiple, default 2):NotLeaderafterelection_timeout_minwithout a quorum ACK. Rejection happens before append, so the client can safely retry. A new leader gets one window for its first ACK.election_timeout_max x multiple. The step-down tick re-arms the replication timer; without that the biased Raft loop spun on the tick and never processedBecomeFollower.Config validation: the multiple must be >= 1, pending limits must exceed
max_batch_size,election_timeout_minmust hold at least 3 heartbeats.Checklist
Required:
make testpassesIf changing APIs:
New wire API: a
PreVoteRPC reusingVoteRequest/VoteResponse. New config key:write_admission_election_timeout_multiple.Testing
How tested:
d-engine-core): tally/receiver rules for Vote and PreVote, guard windows, stale vote, higher-term candidate, active-voter-only, unapplied config change, hard-state flush order and poison, write admission, step-down (beyond / inside the limit, follows the multiple, single voter, timer re-armed), same-term step-down keeps the vote, snapshot re-arm, config validation.d-engine-server): PreVote gRPC transport and service.leader_failover_embedded.rs): first write after an idle period; a leader that loses its quorum rejects at once withNotLeader, steps down, and then answersNotLeader; an isolated node started alone does not inflate the cluster's term.For bug fixes:
Most of these were written red first. Not every one was re-run against the old code (e.g. the isolated-node integration test and the same-term vote test were not).
Does This Follow d-engine's Principles?
