M1 DriverHostActor wrote its own NodeDeploymentState row Applied/null as soon
as the revision advanced, up to ~105 s before the address-space outcome.
The coordinator's recovery counts any non-Applying row as an ack, so a
coordinator restart in that window sealed CLEAN while the node was about to
report degraded (#601). The row now stays Applying until ReleasePendingAck
(or the no-publish-actor path) writes the final Applied, clean or with the
degraded reason. A node restart in the window replays the orphan Applying
row; /fleet shows Applying until the outcome (docs/Redundancy.md).
M2 Acks whose persist failed are tracked in _unpersisted (newest per node).
HandleDeadline persists that backlog first and defers its decision while
any remain, so a node that acked is never timed out as silent; PreRestart
re-sends them to Self so a restart (timers lost) does not drop them.
L3 A successful persist cancels the node's retry timer and drops its older
pending ack; a retry only fires for the node's current pending ack.
L4 A dispatch queued during Loading is sent with a fresh deadline however long
the outage lasted (never closed "Dispatch was lost"); the inline re-drive of
a genuinely lost dispatch arms the REMAINING deadline.
L5 A recovered row with a blank RevisionHash (re-dispatch) or blank NodeId is
closed PartiallyFailed with a reason instead of failing every load.
L6 Readiness carries PendingAckPersists + LastPersistError; the config-publish
health check is Degraded while Ready with a backlog.
L7 Ack-persist retries back off (shared Backoff); stack trace on the first
failure only.
L8 Terminal writes (Sealed / PartiallyFailed / TimedOut / failure reason) only
apply to a row still Dispatching/AwaitingApplyAcks.
Tests (all fail on the previous code): ControlPlane DbOutage — deadline does
not time out an unpersisted ack; unpersisted ack survives a restart; stale
retry does not overwrite a newer ack; queued dispatch through an outage longer
than the deadline is sent; malformed row closed and coordinator carries on;
readiness reports the persist backlog. Runtime DegradedAck — own row stays
Applying until the outcome. Host — Ready + backlog is Degraded.
