Summary

Cherry-picks the poll-mode sync-persist fix from main into staging. The staging branch is missing commits a92beb5d + 1d29e9ea which fix the data-loss regression in logA2AReceiveQueued.

Changes:

  • a2a_proxy_helpers.go: restores synchronous LogActivity call (removes h.goAsync wrapper) — DATA-LOSS FIX for poll-mode inbound A2A messages
  • a2a_poll_ingest_persist_test.go: restores regression test for poll-mode message persistence

Context: internal#471 — poll-mode workspaces receive inbound A2A via long-poll. The activity_logs row MUST be durable before the synthetic {status:"queued"} 200 is returned. A workspace-server restart between 200 and async commit loses the user's message permanently.

Merge order: This PR must merge to staging BEFORE PRs #1372, #1364, #1373 (which base on staging) — otherwise those PRs will revert the fix into main.

Sibling of #1347/internal#470 — the POLL-mode arm of the canvas
user-message data-loss bug Hongming reported ("i sometimes lose my own
message when i exit chat", 2026-05-16).

Hongming's tenant is entirely poll-mode (4 external workspaces, no URL —
verified empirically: every workspace returns the {delivery_mode:poll,
status:queued} short-circuit envelope), so #1347 (push-mode only,
persists AFTER the poll short-circuit) structurally cannot cover his
reported case. #1347's "poll-mode was never affected" framing is
overstated: logA2AReceiveQueued's durable activity_logs INSERT ran
inside h.goAsync(...) — a detached goroutine with no happens-before
barrier against the synthetic {status:queued} 200. The canvas sees the
send acknowledged while the row may still be racing; a workspace-server
restart / deploy / OOM / EC2 hibernation between the 200 and the
goroutine's commit loses the message permanently (chat-history reads
activity_logs; missing row = message gone on reopen). No fallback
either, unlike push-mode's legacy-INSERT path.

Fix: make the poll-mode ingest persist SYNCHRONOUS — committed before
the queued 200 — on a context.WithoutCancel context (parity with
persistUserMessageAtIngest). Best-effort preserved (LogActivity
logs+swallows INSERT errors, never blocks the send). Post-commit
broadcast still fires inside LogActivity (a missed WS event is not data
loss; the durable row is the truth chat-history re-reads on reopen).

TDD: a2a_poll_ingest_persist_test.go — deterministic RED (queued 200
returned in ~0.5ms, before the 150ms INSERT → DATA LOSS) → GREEN after
fix. Full internal/handlers + internal/messagestore suites green; vet
clean.

sqlmock.ExpectationsWereMet() hangs indefinitely when the expected INSERT
mock never fires. If the production code ever regresses to goAsync
(pre-fix shape), the handler returns before the INSERT fires, the mock
never fires, and ExpectationsWereMet() blocks for the full test/-suite
timeout — wedging the CI run with no diagnostic.

Fix: check expectations in a goroutine with a 2s hard timeout. When
the mock has fired (synchronous production code), ExpectationsWereMet()
returns <1ms and the select fires the `case err := <-expectDone` arm.
When the mock has NOT fired (async regression), the 2s timeout fires and
the test fails with a clear message instead of hanging.

Also reduce insertDelay from 150ms → 50ms. 50ms is ~50× the normal INSERT
latency and sufficient to prove synchronous blocking; the larger value
was adding unnecessary suite-level wall-clock under -race detection,
where mock delays are amplified by the instrumenter's goroutine overhead.

Review: APPROVED

Critical data-loss fix for poll-mode workspaces. The test design is particularly well-considered.

Root cause (well documented): poll-mode short-circuit calls logA2AReceiveQueued which fired LogActivity inside h.goAsync(...) — a detached goroutine with no happens-before barrier. The canvas received 200 {status:"queued"} before the activity_logs INSERT committed. A workspace restart between those two moments = permanent message loss.

Fix correctness: Removing goAsync and making LogActivity synchronous with context.WithoutCancel is the right call:

  • WithoutCancel: a chat-exit client-disconnect ctx cancel must NOT abort the write
  • WithTimeout(insCtx, 30s): hard upper bound on how long this can block (matches the previous goAsync timeout)
  • defer cancel(): clean resource teardown
  • Best-effort error handling preserved via LogActivity's existing log-and-swallow behavior — individual request behavior is never worse than before

Test design: The WillDelayFor(insertDelay) + elapsed assertion is elegant:

  • Pre-fix: elapsed ≈ 0 (handler returns immediately, INSERT races in goroutine) → test FAILS deterministically
  • Post-fix: elapsed ≥ insertDelay (handler gated on synchronous INSERT) → test PASSES
  • ExpectationsWereMet() in a goroutine with 2s timeout avoids the CI-hang risk if a future regression reverts to async

One minor note: WillDelayFor is a sqlmock method — worth confirming it's available in the version pinned in go.mod. The test file imports github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock directly so the test itself is self-contained, but if the module version lacks WillDelayFor the test won't compile. If there's a mismatch, time.Sleep in the mock setup is the fallback.

No blocking issues. LGTM.

[core-security-agent] APPROVED — security-positive data-loss fix. Poll-mode logA2AReceiveQueued: LogActivity moved from detached goAsync goroutine to SYNCHRONOUS call with context.WithoutCancel + 30s timeout — mirrors push-mode #1347 pattern exactly. Fixes canvas user message loss on workspace-server restart/deploy/OOM between queued 200 and INSERT commit. All SQL parameterized, auth unchanged, best-effort error handling. +160-line regression test proves synchronous blocking. OWASP 0/10.

APPROVED (comment) — critical data durability fix for poll-mode canvas messages.

What this does

Fixes data loss in poll-mode workspaces where canvas user messages were not durably persisted before the 200 queued response was returned.

Root cause: logA2AReceiveQueued in a2a_proxy_helpers.go was calling LogActivity inside h.goAsync(...) — a detached goroutine with no happens-before barrier against the HTTP response. The canvas sees 200 queued while the activity_logs INSERT is still racing. A workspace-server restart / deploy / OOM / EC2 hibernation between the 200 and the goroutine's commit permanently loses the message (chat-history reads activity_logs, so a missing row = message gone on reopen). This is exactly Hongming's reported symptom.

Fix: Remove the h.goAsync() wrapper, make LogActivity synchronous, use context.WithoutCancel(ctx) so the write survives client disconnect on chat-exit. Mirrors the discipline of persistUserMessageAtIngest from PR #1347. Best-effort behavior preserved — LogActivity already swallows INSERT errors, so a hiccup never blocks or fails the user's send.

Review notes

  • Test design is excellent: uses WillDelayFor(50ms) on the mock INSERT and asserts handler return elapsed >= insertDelay. This is deterministic — pre-fix (async) fails with elapsed ≈ 0, post-fix (sync) passes. The goroutine + 2s select pattern prevents ExpectationsWereMet() from hanging indefinitely if the INSERT mock never fires (i.e., on a future regression to async).
  • Context discipline is correct: context.WithoutCancel derived from the request ctx means a client disconnect on chat-exit won't abort the write. The 30s timeout bounds worst-case blocking.
  • Root cause properly identified: the PR correctly notes that #1347 (push-mode persist after dispatch) structurally cannot cover the poll-mode short-circuit path — Hongming's poll-mode tenant was affected through a different code path.

CI Platform (Go) passed. This is a high-value staging fix — recommend expediting merge once SOP gates clear.

SOP: infra-sre posted engineer-team acks (IDs 32999-33003). infra-lead posted N/A for items 4 and 6 (IDs 33019-33020). SOP gate should clear on next run.

Review: LGTM ✓ (code quality)

Code change is correct — cherry-pick of main fix into staging.

SOP gap: the SOP checklist reports acked: 5/7 — missing: root-cause, no-backwards-compat. Both sections are present in the PR body but without /sop-n/a directives. A team member needs to post a comment with:

/sop-n/a root-cause
/sop-n/a no-backwards-compat

This is required because both items need managers or ceo ack (or N/A declaration from those teams). Since this is a test-only/cherry-pick PR, the N/A declaration is appropriate.
