fix(agent): monitor restored process lifecycle - #126
Conversation
WalkthroughThe restore executor now returns both process PIDs. The runtime persists and reads PID-bearing completion sentinels. The controller recovers monitoring state and kills the placeholder when the restored process exits. ChangesRestore lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change adds post-restore workload monitoring, but inspection failures may terminate a healthy workload and invalid or missing restore state may leave Kubernetes unaware when the workload exits. These lifecycle correctness and availability risks should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 6 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Full details: Rbac Least PrivilegeExplanation PASS. The pull request changes only controller, executor, and runtime Go files plus tests. None contains a kubebuilder RBAC marker or a Helm Role/ClusterRole manifest. The repository RBAC inventory contains no wildcard verb or resource grants. Therefore, the pull request introduces no violation of the custom check.

readControlSentinelFn and monitorRestoredProcess so completion is reported only
after lifecycle monitoring is successfully recovered. For legacy, malformed, or
unreadable sentinels, preserve a recovery path that replays CRIU, or explicitly
terminate the placeholder when monitoring cannot be established; do not return
the current successful completion result in those cases.

Do not finalize recovery when the restored PID is unavailable.
A legacy done\n sentinel, malformed data, or a read failure skips monitor recovery here. Line 906 still reports completion, so runRestore does not replay CRIU and Kubernetes never receives workload exit after that workload dies.
Add a safe migration and recovery policy. Do not mark the restore complete unless the monitor can be recovered, or explicitly terminate the placeholder when recovery cannot establish lifecycle monitoring.

Kill the placeholder only for confirmed workload exit or zombie state.
ValidateProcessState also returns errors when procfs initialization or stat inspection fails. This branch treats those observation failures as workload death and sends SIGKILL to the placeholder. A transient /proc access failure can therefore terminate a healthy restored workload.
Return a distinguishable exited-or-zombie result from process validation. Log and retry operational inspection errors.

Summary
Partially fixes #12.
This fixes Problem A from the issue: after restore, the restored workload process
can exit while the placeholder PID 1 keeps the container Running.
The agent now keeps watching the restored workload process after restore
completion. If that process exits or becomes a zombie, the agent terminates the
placeholder PID 1 so Kubernetes can observe the container exit.
The restore-complete sentinel stores the restored PID, so an agent restart after
restore completion can recover the monitor without replaying CRIU.
Problem B is intentionally left for a follow-up, since making placeholder PID 1
transparent when it dies first needs a larger change to the placeholder process
model.
