Conversation
Design for replacing the Celery-result-backend live poll with a store-driven poll (QueryEngine.list_runners + findings), unifying on the runner-doc model already used by mongodb/sqlite/secator-api, plus json parity (on_build pending child docs). Approved design; implementation plan to follow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01P5vSjfkBuGAAHdKxHS3ySm

… fetch Real worker E2E exposed two issues the unit tests missed: - the async workflow/scan poll runs in the ELSE branch of yielder (after dispatch), not the `if self.celery_result` branch — so StorePoller was never used for real async runs. Wired it there too. - the poll re-scanned the WHOLE findings set every cycle (O(findings x polls)). Added a `_timestamp` high-water mark so each cycle fetches only new findings (indexed on DB backends; boundary re-reads dropped by the _uuid dedup). Verified with a live worker: findings stream incrementally, each exactly once, scanned-per-cycle stays ~constant. New test: test_incremental_watermark_avoids_rescanning_all.

Nothing reads it now; consumers poll runner docs from the store. - json on_build writes a PENDING child runner doc at build time (mongodb/sqlite parity), so list_runners shows the full task tree before children run. fqn matches Runner.fqn so the child overwrites its own report_<fqn>.json (verified: one file).

| **Architecture:** A new `StorePoller` reads run-scoped runner docs (`list_runners`, topology/state/progress) + findings (`iterate`, incremental) each cycle and renders the existing rich panel; it exits when the root runner doc reaches a terminal status. json gains runner-doc read+write parity (per-child `report_{fqn}.json` discovery + `on_build` pending docs) to match mongodb/sqlite. The runner prefers `StorePoller` and falls back to the untouched `CeleryData` poll when no store is present (hard-delete of the Celery path deferred to review). | ||

Update both documents to describe the implemented polling architecture.
The plan retains a Celery fallback and deferred removals. The design says those removals are mandatory. The PR objective states that store polling is now the only path and the Celery polling machinery is removed. These documents give maintainers incompatible migration guidance.

Keep the chunk-zero report filename aligned with Runner.fqn.
Line 84 treats chunk=0 as unchunked. on_build then writes report_<base>.json, not the chunk-zero report path ending in _0. The pending document can remain in the runner tree after the child starts. StorePoller can then show a duplicate PENDING child until inactivity timeout.
Append the suffix when chunk is not None. Add a chunk=0 test.

Retry only transient store failures.
These handlers also suppress permanent failures from rehydrate() and poller logic. If rehydration fails, the poller can omit findings and then exit on a terminal root status without reporting the error. Catch documented transient backend exceptions only. Propagate or surface all other exceptions as runner errors.
The PR objective specifies retries for transient store errors.

Treat runner progress changes as activity.
last_advance resets only when a new finding arrives or the root status changes. A long-running task can update progress, count, or child status while the root remains RUNNING, then incorrectly hit the inactivity timeout.
Cache a stable runner snapshot and reset the inactivity timer when that snapshot changes. Add a test with progress changes and no findings.

…y poll Live-worker testing surfaced two regressions in the store poll; both fixed: - Panel: rendered from list_runners (showed workflow rows, missed not-yet-started tasks, dropped descriptions). Now rendered from the build-time topology (celery_ids_map) — full task tree with descriptions, workflow/scan main node hidden via exclude_main — and each row's live state/progress is read from its store doc (matched by context.celery_id). Matches the old panel. - Ctrl+C revoke was a hardstop: StorePoller neither honored `revoked` (the post-interrupt re-yield re-polled and hung) nor caught KeyboardInterrupt/ GreenletExit. Now it flushes + re-raises on interrupt (-> run() revokes the tasks) and exits after one flush when `revoked`. Verified with a live worker: SIGINT revokes all tasks and the client exits promptly.

SqliteBackend inherited the base QueryBackend.list_runners stub (returned []), so the store-driven live poll read no runner status/progress on sqlite: the root status came back None every cycle, the panel stayed stuck at PENDING, and the poll never reached a terminal status (hung until the inactivity timeout). Findings still streamed (iterate is implemented) but progress/exit did not. Unpack the JSON 'data' blob from the tasks/workflows/scans tables and tag each doc with _type/_id_str/_workspace, mirroring the mongodb backend's contract. Honours workspace_id + has_parent filters. Validated with a real sqlite worker (mini_recon on scanme.nmap.org): status walks RUNNING->SUCCESS, panel shows all tasks with live states, no duplicate findings, poll exits on SUCCESS.

…achable shared store The store poll (#1338) reads the run's store backend, which for a filesystem store (local/sqlite) is per-machine — so a remote worker writing to its own disk is invisible to the client, and the poll hangs. Pick the poller once at start: - reachable shared store (mongodb/api) -> StorePoller (unchanged; the validated path) - in-process/sync run (no celery result) -> StorePoller (local store, same machine) - filesystem store on a dispatched run, or an unreachable network store -> CeleryData poll Restores the deleted celery_utils.CeleryData poller + the worker update_state publish as the fallback (read only when the store poll can't serve the run). Adds QueryEngine.pollable_shared_store() + backend is_reachable() (mongodb ping / api HEAD, ~1s bound). No new infra: the fallback uses the shared broker/result_backend that any distributed run already requires.

Draft for review — built overnight per our brainstorm. Design + plan committed in-branch:
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-19-store-driven-live-polling-design.mdanddocs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-19-store-driven-live-polling.md.What & why
Live run tracking currently polls the Celery result backend each cycle for per-task
state/progress — flaky, and a second data model duplicating the store's own runner docs. Since
#1312 findings + runner docs both live in the store (
QueryEngine), so a run can be tracked withzero Celery reads. This adds that path.
Decisions we locked
result.ready()).State/Progressitems) — the model secator-api + the watchdog already use.What's implemented (all TDD, unit-tested)
JsonBackend.list_runners(report_dir=…)now discovers theper-child
report_<fqn>.jsonshards (the documented "parked follow-up"), so the individualtasks composing a workflow/scan are returned like mongodb/sqlite.
tests/unit/test_query_json_runners.py.StorePoller(secator/store_utils.py) — reads run-scoped runner docs (list_runners,topology+state+progress) + incremental findings (
iterate, rehydrated viaload_output_typesso
_process_itemgets identical objects), renders the panel, and exits on terminal root statusor a client inactivity timeout (backstop for a worker dying before finalizing).
tests/unit/test_store_poller.py.Runner.yielderusesStorePollerwhenSECATOR_STORE_POLL=1and a storescope exists; otherwise the unchanged Celery poll.
tests/unit/test_runner_store_poll.py.Default is OFF → zero regression. Try it:
SECATOR_STORE_POLL=1 secator w <wf> <target> --worker.Full unit suite: no new failures (the 54 failing are all pre-existing env/config/network tests —
test_config/test_cli/test_offline/test_cve; confirmed identical on an unrelated branch).My new tests + all celery/runner/query tests pass.
Deferred (need your call — kept safe/reversible per "review in the morning")
default → store poll, then delete
CeleryData.iter_resultsonce you're happy.on_buildpending-child docs (plan Task 2): deferred — matching the child'sfqnat buildtime is fiddly and a wrong guess creates duplicate/stale docs. Without it, children appear in the
panel as they start (functionally correct) rather than pre-listed as PENDING. Low-risk follow-up.
update_stateRUNNING-meta write (spec §4): kept for now — only the read sidemoved. Removing the redundant write is a clean follow-up once the store poll is the default.
