fix(agent): bound PageBroker terminal replies

[dfeigin-nv]

Adds concurrent PageBroker request handling and bounded terminal transaction retention.

Validation

• make -C agent/pagebroker test daemon
• Go PageBroker, executor, and namespace-mount tests
• Helm lint and enabled render

Concurrent restore E2E

On aws-k3s-eu-north in runai-test, two restore requests were submitted 48 ms apart. Both restore pods became Ready. PageBroker staged and committed separate transaction IDs, and agent logs reported CRIU restore completion for both.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added configurable concurrent request handling for PageBroker.
  • Added transaction lifecycle management, expiration cleanup, and staging-space reservations.
  • Added safer restore and checkpoint staging with storage-path validation and conflict detection.
• Bug Fixes
  • PageBroker commit operations now retry transient transport failures for up to 30 seconds.
  • Invalid configurations without a required control socket are rejected.
• Observability
  • Restore timing summaries now include PageBroker staging, mounting, and commit durations.

Walkthrough

PageBroker now uses storage-root-aware transfer engines and synchronized transactions. The daemon serves concurrent requests with bounded handlers and transaction reaping. Agent restore timing, commit retry limits, and control-socket validation are also updated.

Changes

PageBroker lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Transfer engine and storage validation agent/pagebroker/transfer_engine.hpp, agent/pagebroker/posix_copy_engine.*	The transfer engine supports restore sizing, staging, checkpoint validation, conflict detection, and publication. POSIX paths are constrained to the canonical storage root and reject symlink components.
Transaction-aware broker operations agent/pagebroker/transaction.*, agent/pagebroker/broker.*, agent/pagebroker/daemon_test.cpp	Broker transactions now track explicit states, descriptors, expiration, terminal retention, and staging reservations. Restore and checkpoint operations use centralized cleanup and transfer-engine operations. Tests cover concurrency, expiration, path validation, capacity limits, and transaction eviction.
Daemon runtime and executable wiring agent/pagebroker/daemon.*, agent/pagebroker/main.cpp, agent/pagebroker/file_descriptor.*, agent/pagebroker/Makefile	The daemon exposes RunDaemon, uses nonblocking polling and bounded asynchronous handlers, logs requests, reaps expired transactions, and handles shutdown signals. The executable validates concurrency arguments. FileDescriptor now supports move ownership.
Agent integration agent/internal/executor/restore.go, agent/internal/pagebroker/client.go, agent/internal/types/config.go, agent/internal/types/config_test.go	Restore timing includes PageBroker phases. Commit retries stop after 30 seconds. Enabled PageBroker configuration requires a non-whitespace control socket path.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 9228b

The change enables concurrent restore handling and bounded transaction retention, but publishing can still delete an existing checkpoint before a failed replacement, while several failure and client-behavior paths can retain resources or lose protocol responses. These create concrete data-loss and availability risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@agent/internal/executor/restore.go`:
- Around line 225-227: Update the remainingDuration calculation to include
pageBrokerStageDuration, pageBrokerMountDuration, and pageBrokerCommitDuration,
so the unaccounted value excludes all PageBroker phases already reported in the
summary.

In `@agent/internal/pagebroker/client.go`:
- Around line 73-83: Update the PageBroker commit retry flow around readMessage
and Checkpoint so each commit attempt uses a child context whose deadline is the
earlier of the parent context deadline and retryDeadline. Pass that context
through the attempt’s I/O, while preserving Restore’s configured timeout and
existing retry/cancellation behavior.

In `@agent/internal/types/config_test.go`:
- Around line 29-37: Expand
TestAgentConfigValidateRequiresPageBrokerControlSocket to table-driven cases for
empty and whitespace-only controlSocketPath values plus a valid socket path;
assert invalid cases return ConfigError with field pageBroker.controlSocketPath,
and assert the valid enabled configuration passes validation.

In `@agent/pagebroker/broker.cpp`:
- Around line 295-300: In the reservation-failure branch of the restore
transaction flow, mark the transaction returned by CreateOrGetTransaction as
ABORTED before returning the insufficient-storage failure. Preserve the existing
ReserveStaging check and Fail response, ensuring terminal retention and reaping
can process the transaction.

In `@agent/pagebroker/daemon_test.cpp`:
- Around line 195-220: Add a test case to RejectsPathsOutsideStorageRoot
covering a checkpoint destination equal to the storage root, and assert
HandleRequest returns Failure::INVALID_REQUEST. Reuse the existing checkpoint
request setup and storage-root symbol so the test verifies PublishCheckpoint
cannot operate on the root itself.

In `@agent/pagebroker/daemon.cpp`:
- Around line 110-112: Update the socket-path cleanup logic in the daemon setup
to inspect the existing entry with symlink_status before removal. Only remove
the entry when it is a socket; return an error for regular files, directories,
symlinks, and all other entry types, while preserving the existing bind flow for
absent paths.
- Around line 247-251: Update the connection handling flow around
ConfigureConnection and HandleConnection to enforce one total deadline spanning
the complete frame read and response write, rather than only resetting per
recv/send operation. Ensure slow clients cannot keep a handler occupied
indefinitely by sending periodic bytes, while preserving the existing timeout
error handling and shutdown behavior.
- Around line 314-317: Update the concurrency-limit branch in the daemon
connection-acceptance loop so it does not discard accepted requests by closing
the descriptor without a response. When handlers.size() reaches max_concurrency,
wait for and reap an existing handler before accepting another connection, or
send the established defined overload response instead.

In `@agent/pagebroker/Makefile`:
- Line 2: Change the GTEST_FLAGS assignment from recursive expansion to simple
expansion by using :=, so the pkg-config lookup runs once when the Makefile is
parsed and matches the existing variable style.

In `@agent/pagebroker/posix_copy_engine.cpp`:
- Around line 51-62: Update the symlink exception in DirectorySize to use
neutral wording that does not incorrectly identify the scanned directory as a
checkpoint; preserve the existing rejection behavior.
- Around line 15-17: Update DestinationPath validation to reject relative == "."
so the storage root cannot be used as a publish destination; preserve existing
confinement and normalization checks, while allowing root paths only through
source validation if required by StoragePath.
- Around line 102-113: Update the publish sequence around CopyDirectory so it
preserves the existing published checkpoint: rename the current published
directory to a temporary backup, rename partial into published, then remove the
backup only after the replacement succeeds. Adjust the catch cleanup to retain
or restore the backup when either rename fails, while continuing to remove
partial safely.

In `@charts/snapshot/templates/daemonset.yaml`:
- Around line 125-127: Add reviewed CPU and memory requests and limits under
.Values.pageBroker.resources, then render that resources block on the pagebroker
container near its existing --max-concurrency arguments. Use the chart’s
established resource templating conventions and ensure both requests and limits
are included.

In `@charts/snapshot/values.yaml`:
- Line 85: Update the Helm schema for pageBroker.maxConcurrency to declare it as
an integer with a minimum value of 1, matching the accepted positive concurrency
range and rejecting invalid overrides before deployment.

Inline comments:
In `@agent/pagebroker/broker.cpp`:
- Around line 251-270: Ensure RetainTerminalTransaction and
ReapTerminalTransactions execute even when Restore, PrepareCheckpoint, Commit,
or Abort throws; move both calls into a scope guard covering the switch in the
request-handling flow, or invoke them from every relevant catch path before
returning. Preserve the existing unsupported-operation handling.
- Around line 212-223: Ensure terminal transactions are consistently retained
and reaped across all exit paths: in AbortStaging, clear the descriptor and set
state to ABORTED before returning on cleanup failure; at the transactions_
handling site around lines 299-305, set the transaction state to ABORTED instead
of erasing the map entry; and around lines 251-270, use a scope guard around
dispatch so RetainTerminalTransaction and ReapTerminalTransactions also run when
exceptions occur.
- Around line 390-393: Align the Broker::PublishCheckpoint definition parameter
names with its declaration: use transaction for the Transaction parameter and
descriptor for the CheckpointTransactionDescriptor parameter, then update all
corresponding references in the function body.

In `@agent/pagebroker/broker.hpp`:
- Line 20: Change the Broker constructor interface to prevent accidental
interchange of staging_root and storage_root, preferably by introducing distinct
path wrapper types or a configuration struct with named fields. Update the
Broker declaration and corresponding call sites so each root is explicitly
identified and mapped correctly.
- Around line 40-41: Give reserved_staging_bytes_ a dedicated mutex instead of
sharing transactions_mutex_. Update ReserveStaging and ReleaseStaging, including
the statvfs path, to lock the staging mutex only, while keeping transaction-map
access synchronized by transactions_mutex_ in CreateOrGetTransaction and
FindTransaction.

In `@agent/pagebroker/daemon_test.cpp`:
- Line 120: Update the assertion comparing first_response and second_response so
the rejected valid request explicitly has Failure::TRANSACTION_CONFLICT, rather
than only differing in has_staged_restore_directory().

In `@agent/pagebroker/transaction.hpp`:
- Around line 11-31: Add a class-level comment for Transaction documenting that
callers must hold mutex() before invoking accessors or mutators, since state_,
descriptor_, staging_started_at_, and terminal_retained_ are not internally
synchronized. Explicitly state that these members must not be read or modified
lock-free.
