fix(app-hosting): at-most-once tail settle, stop/meter watermark discipline, payer alignment, wake seam (#2502/#2493/#2491 follow-up) - #2508
Conversation
…ipline, payer alignment, wake seam Four dark-shipped app-hosting billing gaps (APP_HOSTING_ENABLED off, zero production callers of wakePublishedApp today), fixed now before wiring makes them live: 1. HIGH: settleAbandonedTail re-billed the stranded tail on every failed or racing wake. It now claims the tail with a guarded CAS that clears awakeBilledThrough/awakeHoldId BEFORE charging, so a retried wake after start_failed, or two concurrent wakes, settle it at most once. 2. MEDIUM: stopPublishedApp planned its settle from the row read BEFORE the slow Fly stopMachine call, so a meter tick landing during that call got double-billed. It now re-reads the watermark after the Fly call returns and settles only what that fresh watermark still owes. 3. MEDIUM: the router's balance gate read published_apps.ownerId while the meter and wake gate charge drives.ownerId via resolveEnvPayerId. The router now resolves the payer through the IDENTICAL function (defaultAppBillingDeps.resolvePayerId), so the two can never drift, and fails closed on an unresolvable drive. 4. MEDIUM: a replay to a stopped app relied on Fly's autostart, which starts the machine with no status flip, watermark stamp, or hold — invisible to the awake meter (running rows only). SERVABLE_STATUSES no longer treats 'stopped' as replayable; router.ts now routes a stopped app through wakePublishedApp (gate + hold + start + bookkeeping) before deciding, consistent with #2491's "the router never writes" design — the write happens in the real wake seam, not in the pure decision. Also (LOW): trackAIUsage now releases a placed hold in both failure shapes (the inner writeAiUsage/consumeCredits throw, and the outer calculation throw), not just the writeAiUsage-returned-null branch — closing the last case where a stranded hold suppressed the payer's balance for its own TTL. Each fix is covered by a new test that fails when the fix is reverted (verified via mutation), plus the existing suites still pass. No changelog entry — the feature ships dark behind APP_HOSTING_ENABLED. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Eb48eMuZayhd9WNfE2VdFP

When a stopped dedicated app receives a request, this unconditional call enters wakePublishedApp, which always resolves a payer and invokes billing.gate. If that flat-rate customer's credit gate refuses—or the drive payer cannot be resolved—the machine never starts and this router returns parked/failed indefinitely. This contradicts both published-apps.ts, which defines the dedicated SKU as operating without the credit gate, and the metered-only check later in this function; the wake seam must skip gating and holds for dedicated apps.

Confirmed and fixed in e87dfa3. wakePublishedApp in app-lifecycle-metering.ts now skips resolvePayerId/gate entirely for tier !== 'metered' (dedicated apps start with no hold placed and none carried on the row). Note the wake-seam wiring itself (the code at the line this comment anchors to) landed via a merge from master (PR #2503/#2493 follow-ups), not this PR originally — but since it now lives in this branch, this is the right place to have fixed it. Added two tests: a dedicated wake never calls resolvePayerId/gate and carries awakeHoldId: null, and a failed start on a dedicated app releases nothing (there was never a hold). Both verified red-without-the-fix via mutation testing. Left open for your verification rather than auto-resolving, since this was fixed during an automated convergence pass.

Summary
Four money-correctness gaps in the published-app hosting metering chain (PR
#2493 metering + #2491 routing/wake gate), fixed before wiring makes them
live — the feature ships fully dark (
APP_HOSTING_ENABLEDoff,wakePublishedApphas zero production callers today), which is exactly whythese needed fixing now rather than after go-live.
1. HIGH —
settleAbandonedTailre-billed the stranded tail on every failed/racing wakeIt billed the preserved
[awakeBilledThrough, lastStopAt]span but neverpersisted anything marking it settled — so a wake that then fails to start
(
start_failed) leaves the tail untouched for the next wake attempt tore-bill, unboundedly, and two concurrent wakes both bill it before either's
own status CAS lands.
Fix:
claimAbandonedTail— a guarded CAS that clearsawakeBilledThrough/awakeHoldIdoff the row before the charge is made,following the same watermark-CAS discipline
awake-meter.ts's insolvency-parkpath already uses. Whoever wins the CAS is the only caller that may bill or
release the tail; everyone else sees the watermark already cleared and returns
before ever calling
trackUsage.2. MEDIUM —
stopPublishedAppvs. the awake meter double-bills the overlap spanThe stop path snapshotted the row before the slow Fly
stopMachinecall andplanned its settle from that stale watermark. A meter tick landing during that
call (which can take several seconds) gets billed again by the stop's own
settle.
Fix: re-read the row immediately after
stopMachinereturns and settleagainst that fresh watermark, so a stop only bills the span the watermark
still owes — disjoint from whatever the meter already collected.
3. MEDIUM — routing gate checked a different payer than the meter charges
The router gated on
published_apps.ownerId(a denormalized column) while themeter, lifecycle settles, and storage reconcile all charge
drives.ownerIdvia
resolveEnvPayerId, explicitly refusing the denormalized column. If theydrift, admission is decided on the wrong person's balance.
Fix: the router now resolves the payer through the identical function
(
defaultAppBillingDeps.resolvePayerId) the meter and wake gate use — not anequivalent kept in sync by convention, the same reference — and fails closed
(refuses) on an unresolvable drive rather than serving on an unverified
balance.
4. MEDIUM — replay to a
stoppedapp starts a machine no meter billsSERVABLE_STATUSESincluded'stopped', andbuild-core.tssetsautostart: true, so Fly's own proxy silently starts a stopped machine onreplay — no status flip, no
awakeBilledThroughstamp, no hold, and theawake meter only reads
status = 'running'rows. Today unreachable (nothingstops a published app yet), but it becomes a live unbilled-machine hole the
moment an idle reaper or operator stop ships.
Fix (option a, per #2491's own "the router never writes" design):
SERVABLE_STATUSESno longer includes'stopped'.router.tsnowintercepts a stopped app and routes it through
wakePublishedApp— the realseam with the gate, hold, start, and bookkeeping — before handing the row to
the pure
decideAppRoute. The write happens in the wake seam, which is whatit's for; the pure decision stays pure.
Also (LOW) —
ai-monitoring.tshold leak on the un-reported failure shapestrackAIUsagereleased a placed hold only in thewriteAiUsage → nullbranch. The inner catch (a
writeAiUsage/consumeCreditsthrow) and theouter catch (usage-calculation throw, before
writeAiUsageis ever reached)both left the hold stranded until its TTL. Both now release it — money-safe
either way (idempotent hold delete), just leaves nobody's balance suppressed
for longer than necessary. This also makes the "the seam already returned
this wake's reservation" comments in
awake-meter.ts/app-lifecycle-metering.tstrue for both failure shapes instead of just one, so no comment change was
needed there.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Update: rebased onto master, reconciled with #2503's idle reaper
Master gained the idle reaper + daily-cap + wake-seam work (#2503 and its two
follow-up fix commits) while this PR was open, which overlaps directly with
items 2 and 4 above. After merging master in:
fix:
stopPublishedAppserializes its entire sequence (read, Fly call,settle) under the awake meter's advisory lock, which structurally prevents
the race rather than narrowing it. My original "re-read after the Fly call"
patch is redundant under that lock and was dropped in favor of it.
master with a more complete design (per-app wake serialization to collapse a
cold page's 20-asset burst into one Fly start, a
wake_in_progressoutcome,daily-cap-aware refusal mapping). My simpler version was dropped in favor of
master's.
ai-monitoring fix, were NOT touched by any of that work and are re-applied
on top of the merged code unchanged in substance.
wakePublishedAppwas gating andholding for
dedicated(flat-rate) apps too —published-apps.tsdefinestieras the only difference between the two products, and dedicated is"same pipeline, minus the gate." A stopped dedicated app (the idle reaper
itself already exempts it, but any future stop path does not) would have
been locked behind a shared credit balance it was never asked to fund. Fixed:
the wake seam now skips
resolvePayerId/gateentirely fortier !== 'metered'.All four original test files were reconciled against master's versions (which
had grown their own coverage for the overlapping work) rather than merged
line-by-line, with my item-specific tests layered back on top. Two new tests
cover the dedicated-tier fix. Every fix — old and new — was mutation-verified
(temporarily reverted, confirmed the guarding test goes red, restored).
packages/libtypechecks clean and all touched suites pass locally (only thepre-existing Postgres-backed integration test fails, for lack of a local DB —
unrelated to this branch).
Update 2: rebased again onto master's dedicated-tier PR (#2504)
Master gained the full "dedicated always-on tier" feature (flat-rate SKU,
Stripe subscription mirror,
services/app-hosting/dedicated-tier.ts) whilethis PR was converging. Its wake-path change —
wakePublishedAppskipping thecredit gate for
tier !== 'metered'— is the exact same fix as the P1dedicated-tier gate-bypass fix noted above, implemented independently via the
canonical
isCreditMetered(tier)predicate, and it goes further (a dedicatedwake also stamps
awakeBilledThrough: nullinstead of opening a billingwindow nothing will ever settle, closing a related double-charge risk this PR
didn't catch).
Merged master in again and dropped my duplicate in favor of theirs — same
resolution pattern as the earlier idle-reaper merge. Removed one of my two new
dedicated-tier tests as fully redundant with theirs; kept the one covering a
case theirs didn't (a dedicated wake's start failure releases nothing, since
there was never a hold). Net diff against current master is back to just
items 1 (at-most-once tail claim) and 3 (payer alignment) plus the LOW
ai-monitoring fix — the only three pieces of this PR nothing else has touched.
