Summary

Docs lagged #172–#183. Repo-root docs now match main. Docs site goes in a separate PR.

  • CHANGELOG [Unreleased]: PR number on every entry; one line per point; Reject, REST payloads, priority Values() order and handle detach under Breaking; contract version per feature; adapter floor redisq v1.6.0+ / sqliteq v0.4.0+. Dropped only the "Fixed pre-release" sub-bullets (fixes to unreleased features).
  • README:
    • Go 1.27 badge; "job queue" tagline; broken #persistent-and-distributed-queues anchor fixed.
    • Features: cancel/outcome, queue pause, REST covers queues/jobs/workflows; custom storage → IQueue/IPriorityQueue + optional interfaces.
    • sqliteq now listed for outcome, cancel, pause, EnqueueOnce (was "ErrDetached").
    • New "Pause a Queue" section.
    • How It Works: new "Shared storage" (wake, credit pop up to 64, pause, cancel).
    • New Trade-offs and Delivery Guarantees sections (house skeleton, nav).
    • REST: read route 501 on both adapters; warning lists every write route.
  • examples: sqlite-persistent, redis-persistent, redis-distributed → WithQueue / NewQueue; adapter pins to their main (released tags lack Reject).
  • spec/redis-storage.md (stays 1.7.0, no new rule): Terms waiting/cancelled; 7.2 cancelled page; one-job read has no Redis rule (501); §9 entries for 1.6.0 and 1.7.0, sorted; version-pinned wording → "this version".
  • openapi.yaml: 1.4.0 note lists queue_ids; title "VarMQ".
  • assets/diagrams/gen/README.md: releaseProcessingSlot → finishJobs.

Evidence

  • go vet ./..., go test -count=1 ./... green; every examples/* module builds.
  • Anchor check: all README #… links resolve; varmq.goptics.org/start/installation/#versions exists.
  • ≤25-word check on added README/spec prose.
  • Reviews: source fact-check, convention + security review; fixes in 20d6d3e. go.mod/go.sum pins point at goptics modules only.

Merge Danger

  • Door: two-way. Docs and example programs only; no library code.
  • Blast radius: README readers and example builders.
  • Known gap: README and CHANGELOG name redisq v1.6.0 / sqliteq v0.4.0 (planned tags). Tag both before or with VarMQ v1.11.0; then repin examples to tags.

- CHANGELOG Unreleased: PR number on every entry (#172-#183), one
  line per point, breaking behaviour moved under Breaking, contract
  version per feature, adapter floor redisq v1.6.0 / sqliteq v0.4.0.
- README: Go 1.27 badge, job queue tagline, features for cancel,
  outcome, queue pause; Pause a Queue section; sqliteq does outcome,
  cancel, pause; shared-storage How It Works, Trade-offs, Delivery
  Guarantees; read route 501 on both adapters.
- examples: WithQueue / NewQueue, adapter pins to main.
- spec: Terms waiting/cancelled, 7.2 cancelled page, one-job read
  note, 9 entries for 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 in order.
- openapi: 1.4.0 note lists queue_ids; titles say VarMQ.
REST warning lists every write route; interfaces split between varmq
and contract; dedupe row bounded by the window; drop the no-retries
bullet until job retries land; acknowledgment wording; two long
sentences split; example link text; spec Terms matches 7; PR numbers
on grouped CHANGELOG entries; restore QueueInspector cancelled note,
WorkflowStore.Cancel undo, InstanceID and strategy values.

Walkthrough

This pull request updates the README, changelog, examples, and specifications for shared-storage queues and related APIs. The examples use unified queue constructors and worker binding. The documentation describes adapter requirements, queue operations, REST behavior, delivery guarantees, and storage compatibility.

Changes

Shared Queue Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared storage and queue binding
README.md, examples/redis-distributed/*, examples/redis-persistent/*, examples/sqlite-persistent/*

README.md
The README adds details on queue pause, REST access, dispatch, cancellation, trade-offs, and delivery guarantees.
Release notes and compatibility specifications
CHANGELOG.md, spec/openapi.yaml, spec/redis-storage.md
The changelog summarizes the release changes. The specifications document API notes, cancellation behavior, job listing details, and compatibility information.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Other

Possibly related PRs

  • goptics/varmq#179: Adds the workflow API, unified queue binding, remote job outcomes, and job cancellation described in this pull request.
  • goptics/varmq#180: Adds WithQueue and NewQueue APIs used by the updated examples and described in the documentation.
  • goptics/varmq#176: Adds in-memory queue inspection described in the changelog and reflected in the OpenAPI documentation.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 20d6d

The updates are mergeable with bounded follow-up, but installation guidance and storage guarantees need correction to avoid failed version requests and incorrect expectations about cancellation, recovery, and queue state.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs: sync README, CHANGELOG, spec, examples with main" matches the changeset. The changes update the root README, CHANGELOG, Redis storage spec, OpenAPI document, example modules, and the diagram README to match changes from #172–#183. The title names the main change, which is a documentation sync. It is specific enough that a teammate scanning history can see the primary change. It does not name the specific content, but the title does not need to list every detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the required structure only in part. It has a Summary section that explains the changes in detail and an Evidence section with test and review results. It also has a Merge Danger section and a known gap note. However, it does not follow the repository template. It has no "Type of Change" section, no checklist with the Self-reviewed, Tests added/updated, and Documentation updated items, and no "Related Issues" section with a Fixes # line. The Summary is still a clear description of the proposed change, so the description is mostly complete even though the template sections are missing.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 4 files. (7 skipped: 7 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @CHANGELOG.md:
- Line 5: Update the root go.mod contract module requirement from v0.3.0 to
v0.7.0 so consumers resolve the contract version required by this release. Leave
unrelated dependency requirements unchanged.
- Line 52: Update the cancellation behavior note in the changelog to document
the workflow-task exception: cancelling an unstarted task by job ID may succeed
without stopping it when using workflow-aware shared storage, so callers must
cancel the workflow to stop the task. Preserve the existing descriptions of
ordinary unstarted and running jobs.
- Line 52: Update the cancellation guarantee in the changelog to qualify the
not-started-job behavior: for Redis-backed shared storage, a queued job may
still run if it is not popped within 24 hours, when the cancellation mark
expires. Preserve the existing description of cancellation behavior for running
jobs.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 209: Update the IsPaused example comment to describe the calling
process’s last observed pause state rather than promising an immediate result
across all processes.
- Line 478: Update the Pause description in the README to qualify the resume
wake-up guarantee: state that PauseNotifier wakes workers when any process
resumes the queue, and that without PauseNotifier workers may wait for another
wake-up.
- Line 484: Update the shared-storage delivery guarantee and its accompanying
recommendation in the README to state that retries after a consumer crash
require storage that recovers unacknowledged jobs. Direct readers to check the
custom IQueue adapter’s guarantees, and avoid implying that every adapter
provides at-least-once delivery.
- Line 157: Update the adapter version requirements in the README installation
documentation to reference versions that users can actually install, using the
pseudo-versions pinned by the examples unless the stated minimum tags have been
published. Keep the version requirements consistent with the versions table and
the documented compatibility constraints.
- Around line 167-172: Update the README enqueue example’s retry loop around
queue.Add to include an actual delay between failed attempts and a bounded retry
limit or cancellation path. Preserve the successful-enqueue exit and show how
the example stops retrying when the chosen limit or cancellation condition is
reached.
- Line 439: Qualify the wake-up statement about Add and AddAll so it applies
only to worker-bound queues, not producers using shared storage across
processes. Link the shared-storage wake-up guidance using its existing
documentation destination, and leave the remaining explanation unchanged.

Review comments at @spec/redis-storage.md:
- Line 429: Update the cancelled-state documentation so readers must return
matching failed records with state cancelled, ordered newest first, applying
offset and limit to those matches; remove the empty-page option.

Comment thread CHANGELOG.md
- **Queue handles gain `WorkflowItem(data) (WorkflowItem, error)`**: every exported queue handle interface (`Queue`, `PriorityQueue`, result and err variants, `ProducerQueue`, `ProducerPriorityQueue`) has it, so `wf.Add` type-checks queue and data together. Breaks only code that implements these interfaces itself (mocks). Deprecated `PersistentQueue` / `DistributedQueue` handles are no workflow targets: bind the storage with `WithQueue`.

- **`Awaitable` and `Worker` gain `WaitContext(ctx) error`**: every job and group handle (single, err, result, in memory or remote) and the worker's `Wait` can wait with a deadline; `ctx.Err()` when it ends first. `Workflow` has `Wait()` and `WaitContext(ctx)` too. Breaks only code that implements these interfaces itself (mocks).
Needs Go 1.27. Shared storage features (Reject, outcome, cancel, pause) need redisq v1.6.0+ or sqliteq v0.4.0+. Storage contract: module `github.com/goptics/varmq/contract` v0.7.0. Specs: `spec/redis-storage.md` 1.7.0, `spec/openapi.yaml` 1.5.0.

Update the contract requirement before release.

If a consumer does not independently select a newer contract, the released module will resolve v0.3.0 and fail to build. Update the root go.mod requirement to v0.7.0 before releasing VarMQ.

Qualify the cancellation guarantee for shared storage.

A Redis job can run if it remains queued for more than 24 hours after cancellation. The cancellation mark expires before the consumer pops the job. Document this limit instead of promising that every not-started job never runs.

Review comment at @CHANGELOG.md at line 52:
Update the cancellation guarantee in the changelog to qualify the
not-started-job behavior: for Redis-backed shared storage, a queued job may
still run if it is not popped within 24 hours, when the cancellation mark
expires. Preserve the existing description of cancellation behavior for running
jobs.

Needs the redisq release that implements `redis-storage.md` 1.7.0 (`WatchOutcome`, `AcknowledgeResult`, `CancelJob`). Older redisq, v1.5.1 included, lacks `Reject` and does not compile with this varmq (its queue does not satisfy `IPersistentQueue`).
Needs redisq v1.6.0+ or sqliteq v0.4.0+. Older releases (redisq v1.5.1, sqliteq v0.3.0) lack `Reject` and do not compile with this VarMQ. See the [versions table](https://varmq.goptics.org/start/installation/#versions).

Add a delay and a retry limit to the example.

If storage keeps refusing an enqueue, this loop retries immediately and can flood storage indefinitely. Add a real backoff and a retry limit or cancellation path. The comment does neither.

Document that IsPaused can be stale across processes.

After one process pauses a queue, another process can still report false until it refreshes its local state. The example should not promise an immediate cross-process result.

### Worker pool

Every `Add` (and every job in `AddAll`) tries to wake the event loop, but the signal channel holds only one pending signal, so the extra signals are simply dropped. One wake-up is enough: the loop keeps dispatching jobs back to back while the queue has work and a worker slot is free, and it hands each worker its share of the backlog in one go (a batch) rather than one job per wake-up.

Limit the wake-up statement to worker-bound queues.

A producer in another process does not directly wake the consumer. With non-notifying shared storage, the consumer may wait for a poll. Qualify the Add statement and link to the shared-storage wake-up guidance.

- **Wake-up.** Storage that notifies (`ISubscribable`, redisq) wakes an idle worker as soon as any process adds a job. Other storage is polled, and an add in the same process wakes the worker at once.
- **Credit dispatch.** When the storage pops in batches (`IBatchAcknowledgeable`: redisq, sqliteq) and is the only source, one pop fills every free slot. The limit is 64 jobs. Each job goes straight to a goroutine, so no worker holds jobs it has not started.
- **Pause.** A paused queue gives out nothing. A `Resume` from any process wakes the workers.

- **In-memory jobs are lost on a crash.** In-memory queues live in the process. Use shared storage for jobs you can't lose.
- **At least once on shared storage.** A job can run again when its process dies mid-job or its acknowledgment is lost. Make handlers safe to run twice.

Require retained cancelled records in cancelled pages.

The empty-page option allows a Redis reader to omit retained cancelled records. The HTTP handler returns that empty page without retrieving the records. Require readers to return matching records before applying pagination.

 - **pending**: `LRANGE <base> start stop`, or `ZRANGE <base> start stop` with the sequence prefix removed. For each item, the Job ID is the envelope `id`; `attempts` is `HGET <base>:attempts <id>`, or 0. No `started_at`.
 - **processing**: all fields of `<base>:nacked`, sorted by ack ID, then the page. The Job ID follows section 3.1. `attempts = 1 + (HGET <base>:attempts <id> or 0)`. `started_at` is `HGET <base>:started <ack id>`.
 - **completed**, **failed**: `ZREVRANGE <base>:<state> start stop`, then `HMGET <base>:jobs` for those members. Skip a member whose record is gone (a trim ran between the two reads). Since 1.7.0 the `failed` page also holds cancelled records, with `state` `cancelled` (section 6.14).

Update the cancelled-state documentation so readers must return matching failed
records with state cancelled, ordered newest first, applying offset and limit to
those matches; remove the empty-page option.

…lows, REST) (#186)

* docs(site): run examples on varmq main, pin contract in playground

examples/go.mod -> varmq main pseudo-version + contract v0.7.0. Playground go.mod now carries the contract require: varmq main still requires contract v0.3.0 (replace only), so Run broke without it.

* docs(site): three worker counters, submitted on the queue

Metrics.Submitted gone (#176). Drop submitted_total and the metrics-equation example; point to GET /queues totals.submitted.

* docs(site): REST routes for queues, jobs and workflows

Route table, queue_ids/strategy/sources, three counters, 202/501/503 and new 409 cases, wider caution.

* docs(site): workflows guide

* docs(site): job cancel, remote outcome, queue pause, WaitContext

Owners: jobs (cancel, other processes), queues (pausing a queue), waiting (WaitContext). One-line links from lifecycle, context, troubleshooting. NumPending vs Len -> lifecycle.

* docs(site): bind shared storage with WithQueue and NewQueue

Deprecated binders kept in one adapters row. Optional interfaces table, redisq/sqliteq matrix, redis recovery times per redisq v1.6.0 (old RedisFlow scene removed: modelled 6 s/30 s), internals in <details>, dedup owner job-ids.

* docs(site): errors, options, glossary, versions table

Err regex catches one-line var. Rows for ErrDetached, ErrJobNotFound, ErrPauseUnsupported, ErrWorkflowSubmitted, RemoteError. WithEndedJobs and workflow rows moved into the options table. Compat table: VarMQ v1.11.0, redisq v1.6.0, sqliteq v0.4.0, contract v0.7.0, Go 1.27.

* docs(site): plain wording, Next links, drop unused start/meta.json

* docs(site): keep anchors, fuller REST caution, NumPending owner

Restore #routes, #persistent-and-distributed-queues, How redisq tracks a taken job headings. Caution: results/errors, workflow undo on cancel, auth + rate limit, Host check. 409 only while ended record kept. lifecycle states the closed-job and batch NumPending cases.

* docs(site): drop deprecated binders row, show current API only

godoc Deprecated: and CHANGELOG (#185) cover old callers.

* docs(site): review fixes on cancel, REST counts, adapters, matrix

Waiting workflow task on shared storage still runs after a job cancel. IExternalBaseQueue has no Worker. counts.completed/failed are kept records. WorkflowAcknowledgeable needs QueueInspector + non-nil store. Comparison matrix: shared storage has handles and AddAll. Wording: idioms, shared storage.

* docs(site): API coverage skips Deprecated names, document new types

coverage failed on main pin: a link named v1.10.0, and 48 names were undocumented. Skip names whose godoc says Deprecated (and the 4 handle types only they return); link the contract, workflow and option types on their owner pages.

* docs(site): address CodeRabbit review on #186

Pin redisq@v1.6.0 / sqliteq@v0.4.0 in go get (unpinned picks incompatible v1.5.1). Fresh-worker batching only above concurrency 1. WithEndedJobs needs a name and the handler. Workflow NotFound names its four calls. deriv query is a backlog trend. Cancel mark cleared by a WithJobId re-add. Early-death recovery takes the heartbeat timeout. Playground pins only an active contract require.

* docs(site): workflows on Redis

redisq v1.6.0 store via Queue.WorkflowStore(), worker binding, restart and crash behaviour, options, limits (SetExpiration, no Cluster, push access). sqliteq has none: ErrScopeMismatch. Snippet run end to end on redisq main + varmq main.
