Rust RQD can now identify and kill frames that have stopped making progress: no log write, no CPU movement, no IO, and no change in the session's process composition for longer than the configured window. This complements timeout_llu, which is a blind log-staleness timeout enforced by Cuebot and cannot tell a hung frame from one that is legitimately quiet during a long computation. Detection is opt-in per service/layer via a new stuck_detection_llu field (minutes, 0 = never inspect, proto3 default keeps old Cuebots inert) plumbed through service/show_service/layer (V48 migration), JobSpec inheritance, the dispatch queries, and RunFrame. The verdict runs inline in RQD's monitor loop using counters the /proc walk already collects (utime+stime, /proc/pid/io, (pid, starttime) session set) plus an in-process last-write timestamp on the frame logger, which works for Loki-backed frames and never stats a possibly hung filesystem. Every uncertain signal fails open, and non-Linux platforms can never flag. The kill runs on a detached task so a footer write to a hung NFS log path can never stall the monitor loop, writes a per-process evidence footer (state, wchan, syscall) to the frame log, and reports exit status 303 (EXIT_STATUS_FRAME_STUCK). Cuebot returns 303 frames to WAITING while retries remain, since hangs are usually host-local. A failed kill unfreezes stats so the next cycle retries. ServiceDialog and LayerDialog expose the new field in cuegui, with a warning when timeout_llu would fire before stuck detection can verify. Upgrade note: adding the RunFrame proto field changes the bincode layout of RQD frame snapshots, so hosts must be drained before rolling this RQD version out. Scheduler-dispatched frames send 0 (not yet plumbed through the scheduler's dispatch path).

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a configurable stuck-frame timeout across Cuebot, protobuf APIs, PostgreSQL persistence, CueGUI, Python wrappers, and RQD. RQD tracks log, CPU, I/O, and process-composition progress, records evidence, kills stuck frames, and reports retryable exit status 303. ChangesStuck-frame detection
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change can currently terminate a legitimately progressing frame when process counters are unavailable and can skip retries for stuck frames configured with auto-eat; it can also record a kill before it succeeds and persist negative thresholds as disabled values. These correctness and recovery issues make the PR unsafe to merge until fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Handle stuck-frame retries before job.autoEat.
When job.autoEat is true, line 975 returns EATEN before this branch executes. A status-303 frame with retries remaining is then not retried. Move the stuck-frame condition before the auto-eat branch and add an auto-eat regression test.

Reject negative stuck-detection thresholds before persistence.
setStuckDetectionLLU passes any int32 value to LayerDaoJdbc.updateStuckDetectionLLU, which writes it to int_stuck_detection_llu. RQD only inspects frames when stuck_detection_llu > 0, so a negative value becomes an invalid, disabled threshold. Return Status.INVALID_ARGUMENT when the value is negative before the DAO call.

Fail open when any live process lacks a CPU or I/O counter.
Lines 1042-1046 omit unavailable per-process counters but still return a partial aggregate. If an unreadable process is the only process making CPU or I/O progress, RQD can classify the session as stuck and kill a valid frame. Return None for that aggregate unless every live process supplied the counter.

Write the stuck footer only after the kill is accepted.
The footer is dispatched before kill_running_frame runs, and its result is never checked. If the kill fails, the frame log already states that the frame was killed as stuck and will be reported with exit status 303, while the process keeps running.
The failure path then calls unfreeze_stats without resetting the stuck tracker, so observe_progress still reports the old no-progress duration. The frame is re-flagged on the next monitor cycle and a second footer is appended. Each retry also leaves another detached spawn_blocking task that can stay parked on a hung mount.
Move the footer dispatch after a successful kill_running_frame so the log records only kills that were actually issued.
