Nathan Rajlich 7683130461 Resilient step dispatch: parallelize step_created writes with queue publishes (#3365)
* feat(world,world-vercel,core): resilient step dispatch (parallel step_created + queue publish)

Newly created steps are handed to the queue in parallel with their
step_created event write, with the serialized input carried on the
message (stepInput) so the queue consumer can idempotently re-ensure
the event when the direct write failed transiently — mirroring
resilient start (runInput) and resilient hook resume (hookInput).

- @workflow/world: stepInput on WorkflowInvokePayload,
  CreateEventParams.viaStepDispatch, WorldCapabilities.resilientStepDispatch
- core (node:vm): suspension handler publishes eligible steps alongside
  their create; the dispatch pass skips them (queuedStepCorrelationIds)
- core (quickjs): dispatchPendingOps does the same for overflow steps;
  the ineligible fallback is now published in parallel too (removes the
  serial per-step enqueue loop)
- consumer: on a redelivery, a stepInput-carrying message re-ensures
  step_created (marked viaStepDispatch) before executing
- under an enforced precondition guard the parallel path requires
  backend cooperation (capabilities.resilientStepDispatch, declared by
  world-vercel): a 412-rejected step's in-flight dispatch is revoked
  server-side and its re-ensure refused
- step dispatch/retry idempotency keys are step-identity-scoped
  (cid + hashed step name) so a revoked message for a reassigned
  correlation id cannot absorb the corrected schedule's dispatch
- kill switch: WORKFLOW_RESILIENT_STEP_DISPATCH=0

* Validate stepInput.input as Uint8Array at the schema boundary

Review feedback: producers only attach stepInput when the dehydrated
input is binary and the queue transport preserves bytes (CBOR), so a
non-binary value means the payload was mangled in transit. Enforcing
Uint8Array in StepDispatchInputSchema fails the message parse instead
of silently writing non-binary data into a step_created, and types the
consumer's re-ensure so the unchecked 'as SerializedData' cast goes
away.

* Keep sequential dispatch under an enforced precondition guard (drop the resilientStepDispatch capability lift)

Review feedback (two P1s): backend-side revocation bookkeeping cannot
carry the guard's correctness property across the queue side-channel —

- nothing orders a slow guarded create's eventual 412 (the moment the
  backend learns the dispatch is poisoned and records the revocation
  marker) before the consumer's redelivery re-ensure, so attempt > 1
  is a probabilistic mitigation, not a happens-before; and
- a best-effort marker that fails open (Redis loss) cannot back a
  capability the SDK treats as a correctness attestation.

Only sequencing the publish after the create gives the message a
happens-after edge over the create's guard verdict, so the guard gate
is now unconditional: worlds that enforce the precondition guard keep
the sequential create-then-publish dispatch. The parallel resilient
path remains for unguarded writes (the quickjs engine everywhere, and
worlds without the guard). Removes WorldCapabilities.resilientStepDispatch
and world-vercel's declaration; the viaStepDispatch flag is kept and
re-documented as advisory (server-side defense-in-depth only).

This also dissolves the reviewed dedupe hazard on the step-identity-
scoped dispatch keys: with no 410-ack path in any real SDK flow, a
message for a never-created step keeps redelivering until an entity
exists, execution always hydrates input from the committed entity
(never the message), and a name-mismatched stale start is skipped by
the server's stepName fence.

* Correct the MAX_RESILIENT_STEP_INPUT_BYTES rationale: VQS has no hard message-size cap

256 KB is the queue's inline-vs-S3 threshold, not a rejection limit
(payloads above it spill to S3-backed storage transparently). The
128 KiB bound is a cost/latency choice — keep step messages on the
inline path rather than paying an S3 double-hop for bytes that already
live in the event log.

* Recover a missing step in-band when a stepInput-carrying delivery beats its create

Durabench parallel sweeps (guard-off, node engine) caught ~4-8% of
fan-out runs stalling one branch for ~306s on the resilient dispatch
path. Root cause: the consumer's step_created re-ensure was gated on
metadata.attempt > 1, but world-vercel's failure-retry path re-enqueues
a FRESH message whose attempt resets to 1 — so when a delivery beat the
producer's parallel step_created write, every fast retry hit the same
'step not found' rejection with attempt 1, and the step only recovered
when the ORIGINAL message's ~300s visibility-timeout redelivery finally
arrived with attempt 2.

The recovery is now in-band and attempt-independent: when a
stepInput-carrying execution rejects with the step-missing signature
(WorkflowWorldError, 404 or the local worlds' message shape), the
consumer materializes the step_created from the message payload and
retries the execution once within the same delivery. The eager
attempt>1 ensure is kept as a round-trip saver on genuine redeliveries.

Sweep effect expected: the 305-306s TTLS outliers disappear while the
resilient path keeps its p50 win (1054ms vs 1425ms at 64 branches).

* Harden the WS events transport and gate its e2e jobs

Follow-ups from review of the WS transport.

CI: `e2e-vercel-ws-transport` was wired into the `summary` job but not
into `e2e-required-check`, so all three WS jobs could fail while the
required check stayed green. Added to both branches of the status
validation — including the `workflow-server-test` label branch, where
the job runs under the same gating as `e2e-vercel-prod`.

Transport:

- `reqId` and the pending-reply map are now per connection rather than
  per transport. The protocol defines `reqId` as a per-connection
  counter, so a reconnected socket restarts at 1; with one shared map
  that collided with the previous socket's still-registered waiters.
  It also makes the superseded-socket guard structural instead of
  something the close path has to remember.
- Post-open socket errors are no longer silent. The only `'error'`
  listener closed over the connect promise's `reject`, already settled
  once `'open'` fired, so every broken pipe / 1009 / protocol fault was
  swallowed and its requests hung with no per-request timeout to save
  them. Now logged, and the connection is torn down.
- An unexpected close reconnects eagerly instead of waiting for the next
  write, since a socket breaking mid-run means more writes are coming.
  Bounded by exponential backoff, an attempt cap that falls back to
  lazy reconnect, a bail-out when a newer socket is already live, and an
  `unref()`ed timer so a backoff window can't delay handler exit.
- `ws.send()` failures reject their request. `send()` doesn't throw on a
  non-OPEN socket — it reports through a callback we weren't passing —
  so the request just sat in `pending` forever.
- The reserved `reqId: -1` malformed-frame reply and undecodable frames
  are logged loudly instead of dropped.
- Auth headers resolve once per socket via a thunk, not once per event.
  The bearer only rides the upgrade, so the old code awaited
  `getVercelOidcToken()` on every write and discarded all but the first.
  Re-resolving on reconnect also means a new socket gets a fresh token.

Adapter: a reply with no numeric status now fails closed. Defaulting to
200 reported a write as applied whenever the client met a frame it
didn't understand — and the protocol is explicitly designed to grow new
response variants.

Tests: 24 new unit tests over the paths the e2e suite can't reach on
demand (send failure mid-flight, error after open, late close from a
superseded socket, reconnect backoff and give-up, sentinel/undecodable
frame logging, one-token-per-socket) plus the adapter's fail-closed and
typed-error mapping.

* ci: re-trigger to confirm the prior e2e failures were flake

No code change. The 5 failures on 0bb21e7 clustered in a ~20s window
across HTTP-path jobs (example/nuxt on the same test, sveltekit on a
timeout) and one WS job (sleepingWorkflow's clock-skew assertion), which
points at the environment rather than the transport changes. Re-running
to confirm.

* Add WS wire-contract conformance tests and pin the transport gate

Three gaps in the existing coverage.

**The HTTP path was already covered** — `events-v4.test.ts` has 22 tests,
including five directly on `createWorkflowRunEventV4` over HTTP (alias
URL, frame meta contents, response decoding, skipPreload/stateUpdatedAt
forwarding). Those run with the gate unset, so they do confirm the
two-branch refactor didn't disturb HTTP. No new tests needed there.

**But nothing pinned the gate itself.** Every HTTP assertion stays green
if the default flips to WS, because the transports are built to be
indistinguishable at the result layer — and an earlier revision of this
branch did flip the default deliberately, for benchmarking. Added tests
for `isWsEventsTransportEnabled()` across values, and one that drives a
real HTTP request through a MockAgent while asserting the WS transport is
never constructed.

**Nothing verified the bytes.** `ws-transport.test.ts` replies with
whatever the test hands it, which proves the client's lifecycle but not
that its frames are what workflow-server accepts. That's the drift the
spec doc exists to prevent, and it already happened once: event meta flat
on the frame where the server wanted it nested under `event`, with both
sides' tests passing.

`ws-protocol-conformance.test.ts` pairs the real client stack (through
`createWorkflowRunEventV4`) with a fixture mirroring the server route's
per-message handling: decode one frame, validate against a local copy of
`WsRequestFrameSchema`, dispatch, encode the reply the way `replyMeta`
does. `experimental_upgradeWebSocket` needs a real Vercel runtime, so the
socket is faked — everything above it is genuine.

Covers: the frame shape the server accepts (and that `reqId`/`type`/
`runId` don't leak into the event meta), payload passthrough, exactly one
frame per message, 409 → the same typed error HTTP raises, fail-closed on
an unknown reply variant, and reqId correlation across concurrent writes.

Plus golden byte fixtures, since the schema copy is the one thing here
that can silently drift. This is the "golden-frame interop test" the
server spec lists as an open gap; the matching half still needs to land
in workflow-server.

Verified the conformance suite is not vacuous: flattening the client's
frame meta fails 5 of its tests.

* match the HTTP RetryAgent's transient-failure policy on WS

HTTP event writes go through an undici RetryAgent (RETRY_AGENT_OPTIONS):
5xx and transient connection errors are retried in-process, honoring
Retry-After. The WS path never touches undici, so it shipped with no
transient-failure handling at all — a single 503 or a mid-write reset
surfaced straight to the step runtime and cost a whole step retry where
HTTP would have absorbed it in milliseconds.

That gap is invisible in a passing test run: writes still succeed, they
just cost far more. So copy the policy rather than reinvent it —
[500, 502, 503, 504] plus transport failures, undici's default backoff,
Retry-After honored, and 429 deliberately excluded for the same reason
RETRY_AGENT_OPTIONS excludes it (a firewall challenge this client cannot
solve, which in-process retries only amplify).

Adds WsTransportError so retryability is a typed property of the failure
rather than something the adapter infers by string-matching. Splits
resolveWsTransport()/wsReplyStatus() out of postEventFrameOverWs so the
retry loop stays readable.

The existing "fails closed on an error frame" test used status 500,
which is now absorbed by the retry — switched to 403 so it keeps
testing fail-closed rather than accidentally testing no-retry.

* lazy-load `ws` so the default HTTP path never evaluates it

events-v4.ts imports ws-transport.js unconditionally — the transport
gate is a runtime branch, not a build-time one — so a top-level
`import { WebSocket } from 'ws'` put `ws` and its optional native
accelerators on the module-init path of every deployment, including the
overwhelming majority that never opt in and never open a socket.

Defer it to the first connect, memoized as a promise so concurrent
first connects share one import. WebSocket.OPEN becomes an inlined
constant so the readyState check doesn't pull the module in just to
read it off the constructor.

This does NOT remove the need for the bufferutil/utf-8-validate
externals this branch also adds: webpack and Rollup both statically
follow a dynamic import(), so the build-time story is unchanged. What
it buys is that a deployment which never enables the transport never
*evaluates* `ws`, so a mis-bundled accelerator can't break it.

The test lives in its own file because vitest caches a vi.mock factory
result for the life of the module registry — once any test in a file
has connected, the factory never runs again and the counter can't
distinguish "loaded lazily" from "loaded at import".

* release idle WS transports instead of renewing them forever

The transports map was never pruned and WsEventsTransport had no way to
close. Combined with eager reconnect that made a connection immortal by
construction: the server drains at its own maxDuration and closes, the
client immediately reopens, and the server pins a fresh invocation — for
a run that finished long ago. A warm container ended up holding a live
socket, and a live server invocation, for every runId it had ever
served. workflow-server#683 already lists "one invocation stays resident
per run rather than per write" as a known gap; this made it "per run,
forever".

Add close() plus a 60s idle release. There is no "run complete" signal
to hang teardown off — the events adapter is a stateless per-write call
— so idleness is the available proxy. 60s sits well below the server's
~680s drain deadline, so the client releases rather than the server
reclaiming, and well above the gap between steps of an active run.

scheduleReconnect() now bails when closed: close() closes the socket,
which fires the same close handler an unexpected drop would, and without
the guard the transport would instantly reconnect what it just released.

request() revives an idle-closed transport rather than failing the
write, re-registering itself only if nothing newer has claimed the map
slot. Eviction therefore costs one handshake, not an error.

* refresh the bearer on an auth_expiry drain

workflow-server#683 tags a drain frame with why it is closing:
max_duration means the socket aged out and a plain reconnect is right,
auth_expiry means the *bearer* ran out and reconnecting with the same
one just earns a 401. This client logged the drain and ignored the
reason, so against #683 an auth_expiry drain would burn all five
reconnect attempts against a token the server had already rejected, then
give up.

Parse the reason (absent reads as max_duration, so this stays correct
against the currently-deployed server) and thread forceRefresh through
the getHeaders thunk, which triggers @vercel/oidc's refresh path via a
wide expirationBufferMs.

Worth being precise about when that can actually help. getVercelOidcToken
resolves getContext().headers['x-vercel-oidc-token'] ?? env, and
refreshToken() only writes the env var — the request-context header
wins. So inside a deployed function there is genuinely no fresher token
mid-invocation and the refresh is a no-op; outside one (CLI, local dev,
a long-lived server) it works.

That makes the guard the load-bearing half: if the re-resolved bearer is
byte-identical, decline to reconnect, say so, and wait for the next
write — which usually arrives on a new invocation carrying a new token.
That failure is marked non-retryable so the retry loop doesn't spin on
it either.

* document the WS path's instrumentation gap

The HTTP branch goes through fetchV4 -> instrumentedFetch, which is not
just a fetch wrapper: it opens the OTEL CLIENT span, injects trace
context, sets the cache-bust header, emits the DEBUG logs, and routes
through the global fetch that Vercel's observability "outgoing requests"
view instruments. The comment on fetchV4 records why that matters —
bypassing it via undici.request() is exactly what once made v4 event
traffic disappear from the log viewer.

The WS branch bypasses all of it. With the flag on, per-event writes
have no client span, propagate no trace context to workflow-server, and
don't appear in the outgoing-requests view; the server's own
transport-tagged request metrics are the only remaining signal.

That's acceptable for an opt-in POC behind a flag and unacceptable as a
default, so write it down where someone deciding to flip the default
will read it: instrumenting the transport is a prerequisite for that,
not a follow-up nicety.

* ship the ws-accelerator externals instead of documenting a workaround

`bufferutil` and `utf-8-validate` are optional native accelerators for
`ws`, and neither is installed by default. Every bundler has to be told
to leave them alone, for two different reasons: Rollup/Vite/Nitro fail
the build outright (`Could not resolve "bufferutil" imported by "ws"`),
while webpack bundles the JS wrapper without its native `.node` binding
and throws `bufferUtil.mask is not a function` at runtime.

The webpack half shipped in `@workflow/next`. The Rollup half only
existed in `workbench/vite` and `workbench/tanstack-start` as
`nitro.rollupConfig.external` — app configs, not shipped code. So a real
user of `@workflow/vite`, `@workflow/nitro`, `@workflow/nuxt`,
`@workflow/sveltekit` or `@workflow/astro` hit the same build failure the
workbench had already worked around, and had to rediscover the fix.

Fix it where it propagates: `workflowTransformPlugin` in
`@workflow/rollup`, which all of those integrations already install. It
is already the home of exactly this pattern for the optional
`@opentelemetry/api` peer, so this sits next to its closest precedent.

Note the treatment is deliberately the inverse of the OTEL one, which is
externalized only when it *can't* be resolved. The OTEL API must load
for tracing to work, so a self-contained output has to bundle it when
present. These accelerators must specifically NOT load — they are a
performance nicety with a correct try/catch fallback in `ws` — so
unconditional external is both simpler and safer than risking a
half-bundled native module.

The two workbench configs drop their local copies, which is what proves
the shipped fix actually works rather than being masked by them.

* one retry policy for both transports, and no unanswerable waiters

Two review findings on the WS events transport.

**Retry belongs to `event-retry.ts`, not the adapter.** The WS path had its
own retry loop, justified as mirroring undici's `RetryAgent`. That
justification was wrong: `RetryHandler` defaults `methods` to GET/HEAD/
OPTIONS/PUT/DELETE/TRACE and nothing overrides it, so the `RetryAgent` never
retried an event POST on either transport — which is precisely why
`event-retry.ts` exists.

Worse, that loop sat *inside* `withEventPostRetry`, so it defeated a
compile-checked safety gate: `EVENT_RETRY_ELIGIBILITY` marks `step_started`,
`step_retrying` and `hook_received` non-retryable (a replayed `step_started`
double-increments `attempt`), and those frames were re-sent up to five times
before the gate ever saw a failure. For eligible types the two loops
multiplied: 3 outer attempts x 6 inner, with an inner backoff reaching 30s
against an outer base deliberately set to 100ms.

`postEventFrameOverWs` now makes one attempt and translates failures into the
vocabulary that policy already speaks — a transport failure becomes a
`WorkflowWorldError` with `code: 'TRANSPORT'`, exactly as `utils.ts` does for
a failed `fetch`, and `isRetryableEventPostError` gains one clause keyed on
that code. `WsTransportError` loses its `retryable` flag; its only consumer
was the deleted loop.

Two deliberate consequences. The code-keyed clause broadens HTTP in-process
retry to `UND_ERR_CONNECT`, `UND_ERR_CLOSED` and `EAI_AGAIN`, which were in
utils.ts's transient set but missing from event-retry.ts's — two
hand-maintained lists collapsed into one semantic code. And the stale-token
case (drain for auth expiry, refresh yields the same bearer) now gets two
in-process attempts that cannot succeed, ~300ms before it falls through to
queue redelivery; that is cheaper than keeping a WS-specific policy alive for
one call site. `TIMEOUT` is deliberately not in the clause: utils.ts maps a
caller-supplied `AbortError` onto it, and a cancelled write must not be
re-issued.

A status-less reply also stops being a bare `Error` — as one it failed
`WorkflowWorldError.is()` and surfaced a protocol version skew as a
USER_ERROR. It is now `code: 'PARSE_ERROR'`, the same code utils.ts uses for
an unreadable HTTP body, and for the same reason: the write may or may not
have landed.

**No waiter is left unanswerable.** An undecodable frame, the server's
malformed-frame sentinel (`reqId: -1`) and a non-numeric `reqId` were logged
and dropped. None can be correlated by construction, so the request that
provoked them stayed in `pending` with nothing in existence able to settle it
— freed only by the server's own drain (~680s from connect), typically past
the invocation's `maxDuration`. Each now fails the connection: every waiter
learns why, and the socket is replaced. A reply for an id nobody is waiting
on stays log-and-drop, deliberately — that request already settled, so
nothing is orphaned, and failing the socket would punish healthy in-flight
writes.

A per-request deadline backs that up for whatever is left, including a server
that accepts a frame and never answers it. Same knob as the HTTP path
(`WORKFLOW_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`, 60s), whose doc comment already describes
this exact hang-to-SIGTERM pathology.

One existing idle-teardown test needed the deadline raised: the idle window
and the default deadline are both 60s, so a request could not outlive the
former without also outliving the latter. The test is about `inFlight > 0`
suppressing the teardown, so it now sets the deadline out of the way.

* Open the ws socket when the invocation starts, not on its first write

Lazily connecting bills the whole handshake — an upgrade round-trip plus the
OIDC token mint that rides it — to whichever event a fresh invocation writes
first. When that is a `step_started` issued as the step body is already
running, the event's server-recorded timestamp lands later than the work it
describes: the step looks shorter than it was. That is the shape of the e2e
timing failure on this branch, where a 9s step measured 6.5s from
`getStepMetadata().stepStartedAt`.

The queue handler is the earliest point that knows the run id, and a message
delivered for a run means writes are coming, so `warmWsEventsTransport` starts
the handshake there. By the first write it is done or in flight, and the write
just uses it.

Nothing about it is load-bearing:

- It doesn't await, and can't fail the handler. A warm that fails logs and
  stops — a never-opened first connect is precisely the case `connect`'s close
  handler already declines to retry, so no backoff loop starts for a run that
  may never write. The first real write connects as it would have anyway,
  carrying the shared retry policy.

- No-op unless `WORKFLOW_EVENTS_TRANSPORT=ws`, and no-op for the api-workflow
  proxy World, which can't serve an upgrade at all — the same fallback the
  write path takes.

- Warming arms the idle timer as if a request had settled, so an invocation
  that warms and never writes (a health probe carrying the run id it is about
  to create) releases its socket on the usual 60s rather than stranding it.
  The socket is not `unref`'d, so a stranded one would hold this process and a
  server invocation open.

Also closes a race that warming makes reachable: `close()` can only drop the
connection it can see, so a release landing mid-handshake left the socket to
install itself afterwards onto a transport already evicted from the cache,
which nothing would then ever close. The `open` handler now declines to adopt
a socket whose transport was released while it was connecting. This was
already reachable via the eager reconnect path, just much harder to hit.

* refactor(world-vercel): trim ws-transport comments

Comments were 47% of the file. Cut the historical narration, the
restatements of adjacent code, and the repeated rationale (the `unref`
reasoning appeared four times, per-connection reqId three), keeping the
non-obvious facts: `ws.send()` reports failure via callback instead of
throwing, reqId is per-connection so `pending` must be too, the
unknown-reqId case is deliberately non-fatal, the auth_expiry same-token
bail-out, and why the idle timeout exists at all.

No code changes.

* own transport selection in the transport module

`events-v4.ts` was assembling the WS transport itself: reading the opt-in
flag, resolving the URL, deciding which Worlds can use a socket, minting the
per-connection header thunk, and holding the two once-per-process log latches.
None of that is about turning an event into a frame, which is what the rest of
that file does. Move it next to the socket it configures — `events-v4.ts` now
consumes one seam (`resolveWsTransport`) plus the gate, and `queue.ts` gets
`warmWsEventsTransport` from the module that owns the warm.

`headersToRecord` now lives in `http-core.ts` because both callers need it and
neither may import the other: `events-v4` already depends on the transport, so
the reverse edge would be a cycle.

Test fallout, and the reason the move is worth it: `events-v4-ws.test.ts`
mocked `getWsEventsTransport` to observe the resolve step, which no longer
intercepts anything now that the call is intra-module — an ESM mock replaces a
module's exports, not its own call sites. That mock's tests were only ever
about selection, so they move to `ws-transport.test.ts`, where the real
selection code runs against the existing fake-socket harness instead of a
stub. `resetWsEventsTransportsForTest` clears the log latches so the
once-per-process assertions don't depend on test order. What stays behind
mocks `resolveWsTransport` and covers what that file is actually for: reply
frame in, `Response`-shaped result out — including the null-resolve fallback to
HTTP, which nothing covered before.

* import `ws` statically

The lazy `import('ws')` was there to keep the package off the module-init path
of deployments that never opt in — `events-v4.ts` imports this module
unconditionally, since the transport gate is a runtime branch. Measured, that
buys ~17ms: `require('ws')` is 16.5-18.0ms cold, 13 modules, and neither
`bufferutil` nor `utf-8-validate` loads (optional peers, absent by default).
Bundle size is identical either way — webpack and Rollup both statically follow
a dynamic `import()`, which is why the externals in `@workflow/builders` are
unaffected by this change.

For 17ms it cost a memoized promise, an inlined `WS_READY_STATE_OPEN` (so a
readyState check wouldn't force the module to load just to read a constant off
the constructor), and a whole test file — `ws-transport-lazy.test.ts` had to
live alone, because vitest caches a `vi.mock` factory result for the lifetime
of a module registry, so only a file that connects exactly once can observe
the laziness at all.

It also skewed the thing this branch exists to measure. The import lands inside
the first connect, so on a warm container it is billed to whichever event write
opens the socket, inflating the timestamp of the step it labels — the same
distortion the queue pre-warm was added to remove.

Also drops `WS_READY_STATE_OPEN` in favour of `WebSocket.OPEN`, now that
reading it is free.

* tighten the comments on the ws transport

Comments only — no code changes in this commit.

Cuts ~150 lines of prose across the WS additions. The rule applied: keep the
design factors a future reader needs (why the connection is scoped to a run,
why a bad reply takes the socket down, why the accelerators are externalized
unconditionally, why `TIMEOUT` is excluded from the `TRANSPORT` classification)
and drop the narrative of how the code got here — which revision did what, what
an earlier attempt got wrong, what was measured on the way. That history lives
in the PR and the git log, where it doesn't have to be re-read on every visit
to the file.

Biggest reductions: the retry essay above `postEventFrameOverWs` (30 lines to
11), the flag's OTEL-gap note (34 to 13), the OIDC refresh explainer (26 to
14), the accelerator rationale in `@workflow/builders` (26 to 14), and the
conformance suite's header (28 to 17).

* inject W3C trace context on the ws upgrade

Frames carry no headers, so the upgrade is the only place this transport can
propagate context; the server parents a run's event spans to whichever
invocation opened the socket. Covered in trace-propagation.test.ts, both with
and without an active span.

Splits the opt-in gate into an import-free ws-transport-enabled.ts so callers
can answer it without loading this module (used by the next commit).

* load the ws transport module only when it is enabled

Both call sites read the gate from the import-free module and dynamically
import ws-transport.js behind a true result, so a deployment on the HTTP
default never pays ws's ~17ms of module init. The queue pre-warm absorbs it
for one that opted in, keeping it off the first event write.

* correct why the ws accelerators are externalized

No bundler fails the build on the unresolvable require — verified against
Rollup 4.62. webpack half-bundles the native module and Vite substitutes a stub
that makes the require succeed; both leave bufferUtil.mask undefined and throw
only once a frame reaches the native masker at 48 bytes, which every CBOR event
frame does. Same claim was repeated in the rollup plugin and its test.

* trim the WORKFLOW_EVENTS_TRANSPORT docs to user level

Mirrors the other Vercel World env vars: same facts on both pages, each in its
page's format. The instrumentation and socket-lifetime detail belongs in the
code, not in a user-facing reference.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* cover the vite bundler in the ws transport lane

Vite substitutes a stub for ws's absent native accelerators rather than failing
the require, so nothing catches it until a masked frame reaches 48 bytes — and
this job's three existing lanes are esbuild, turbopack and nitro.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* claim only what is measured about rollup and the ws accelerators

The rationale asserted plain Rollup was "safe by accident" via a mechanism
only ever observed in a minimal repro. Nitro traces and externalizes `ws` in
a production build, so the bundled path is not reached there at all.

* Give the events socket an explicit lifetime instead of an idle timer

`openWsChannel` / `closeWsChannel` bracket one invocation of the flow
route, and are the only calls anywhere that create a channel. Writes ask
`resolveWsTransport` whether one is open — a lookup now, never a create —
and take pooled HTTP when it says no.

That removes the reason the idle timeout existed. A lazily-created socket
has no owner, so a timer was the only thing able to end it, and the socket
is not `unref`'d: the process could not exit, and a server invocation
stayed pinned, for the full window past the last write.

It also settles `run_created`. The trigger path opens no channel, so a
lone write no longer pays for a handshake it cannot amortize — `start()`
runs in an arbitrary request handler with no boundary the SDK can see.

Refcounted rather than a flag: inline step executions ride the flow topic
on per-step topics, so a run's steps can be concurrent invocations in one
instance sharing the channel, and the first to finish must not cut the
others short. A failed connect closes the channel so the invocation's
writes fall back to HTTP instead of each paying its own doomed handshake.

* Name the one reply header the WS path does not map

The server copies six headers into an `event_ack`'s meta and this record
maps five. The sixth, `X-API-Deprecated`, is inert today — the v4 route's
middleware chain has no deprecation middleware to set it — but the record
is the only header source a WS reply has, so an unmapped key is gone
rather than merely unread, which is not true of the `Response` the HTTP
path returns.

* docs: note that WORKFLOW_EVENTS_TRANSPORT=ws is ignored on the proxy path

* ci: gate the ws-transport e2e lanes on a label

Three real `vercel deploy`s per run is too much to charge every
unrelated PR in the repo for a transport that is off by default. PRs opt
in with `ws-transport-test` (or `workflow-server-test`, which already
exists to test the half of this the protocol lives in); main keeps the
signal on every commit.

The required aggregate has to allow the lane to be skipped in that case,
so its status is asserted only when the lane was actually supposed to
run.

* chore: regenerate pnpm-lock against current main

main resolved `ws` to 8.20.0 as a transitive peer; this branch adds it
as a direct dependency of world-vercel and floats it forward, which
rewrites every `openai@x(ws@y)` peer key in the lockfile. Merging main
textually combined the two, leaving those keys pointing at a `ws` entry
the merged file no longer had — `--frozen-lockfile` then failed with
ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY on the PR's merge ref.

Regenerated from main's lockfile so ours is a minimal delta on top of it.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* fix(world-vercel): align ws on the version main already resolves

The lockfile broke on the PR's merge ref, not on this branch's head: main
resolves ws@8.20.0 as a transitive peer, and a `^8.21.1` direct dep here
floated it forward, rewriting all 73 `(ws@8.20.0)` peer keys. Git merged
the two lockfiles without a conflict but left main-side keys pointing at
a ws entry the merged file no longer had, so `--frozen-lockfile` failed
with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY.

`^8.20.0` resolves to the copy main already has, so the lockfile delta is
the two importer entries instead of a repo-wide rewrite that re-breaks
every time main moves. Also keeps one ws in the store rather than two.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* Bind the channel release to the instance it claimed

closeWsChannel resolved the transport by URL, but the refcount lives on
the instance. A channel is evicted from the map as soon as it closes — a
refused upgrade does that on the connect path — so the next opener for
the same run registers a different instance under the same URL, and the
first invocation's close then decremented that one instead. It dropped a
socket a live invocation was still writing over, and for the event types
EVENT_RETRY_ELIGIBILITY marks non-retryable there is no second attempt to
carry the in-flight write over HTTP.

openWsChannel now returns an idempotent release closed over the transport
it incremented, and queue.ts holds that instead of re-resolving the run.
The close awaits the open's own promise, so it also can no longer land
ahead of the claim it releases.

Also names the scope of the connect-failure de-opt: it covers the
handshake only, so a channel that connects and then fails every write
keeps taking the WS path.

* Decode a transport result, not a Response

Main extracted the v4 POST decode into a helper typed `Response` while this
branch narrowed the POST result to `FrameResponseLike`, because the WS branch
synthesizes its result rather than holding a real `Response`. The two merge
without a textual conflict and then fail to typecheck.

Widen the helper: it reads only the two members `FrameResponseLike` declares,
and a `Response` still satisfies them, so the HTTP call sites are unchanged.

* Reconcile the WS transport with main's v4 POST rework

main moved the materialized POST result off the `x-wf-*` response headers
and onto a typed CBOR body, and added a second response shape: two callers
now POST with `Accept: application/vnd.workflow.v4-frames` and read back a
sentinel-terminated sequence of frames.

A frame stream has no representation in a protocol that pairs one reply
frame with one request frame, so the WS switch moves off the shared poster
and onto `createWorkflowRunEventV4` alone — the materialized write, which is
the hot per-step path this branch exists to shorten. `run_started` and the
`hook_received` preload stay on HTTP.

`decodeCreateEventResponse` takes `FrameResponseLike` rather than `Response`
because the WS branch has none to hand over; a real `Response` satisfies the
interface, so the HTTP callers are unchanged. The ids now come out of the
CBOR body, so `replyMetaToHeaderRecord` no longer maps any `x-wf-*` name —
only the two headers `errorFromV4Response` reads.

Alex Langenfeld 79e4c04409 fix(core): re-route runs delivered to the wrong deployment (#2960)
## Summary & Motivation

A queue callback that reaches a deployment other than the one its run is pinned to derives the per-run encryption key from the wrong master key, so the delivery fails before user code runs and the run dies as a blank "exceeded max retries". The delivery is re-enqueued explicitly addressed to the run's own deployment — strictly better-targeted than the send that misrouted — and the run is failed with the new `DEPLOYMENT_MISMATCH` error code only once `WORKFLOW_DEPLOYMENT_MISMATCH_MAX_RETRIES` (default 3) is spent. Gated on the new World capability `deploymentAffinity`, so worlds with synthetic or version-tagged deployment ids are unaffected.

## Test Plan

Unit tests added for the guard and both runtime paths; local vitest and typechecks pass.

* fix(world-postgres): expose hook retention deadline

* Fix: Exhaustive `Record<AttributeKey, ...>` in `attribute-panel.tsx` is missing the `tokenRetentionUntil` key that was added to `HookSchema`, causing TS2741 and breaking every Vercel build.

This commit fixes the issue reported at packages/web-shared/src/components/sidebar/attribute-panel.tsx:426

## Bug

Commit `ad58321` added `tokenRetentionUntil: z.coerce.date().optional()` to `HookSchema` in `packages/world/src/hooks.ts:106`. This adds `tokenRetentionUntil` to the inferred `Hook` type.

In `packages/web-shared/src/components/sidebar/attribute-panel.tsx`, `AttributeKey` is a union that includes `keyof Hook`, so `tokenRetentionUntil` becomes a required member of the **exhaustive** `Record<AttributeKey, (value: unknown, context?: DisplayContext) => ...>` object literal `attributeToDisplayFn` (starting at line ~426).

Because the literal had no `tokenRetentionUntil` entry, `tsc` fails:

```
src/components/sidebar/attribute-panel.tsx(426,7): error TS2741:
Property 'tokenRetentionUntil' is missing in type '{ ... }' but required in type
'Record<AttributeKey, (value: unknown, context?: DisplayContext | undefined) => ReactNode>'.
```

This breaks `@workflow/web-shared#build` and therefore every Vercel deployment (17 failing deployments observed, all with this identical error).

## Fix

Added a `tokenRetentionUntil` entry to `attributeToDisplayFn`, placed alongside the other Hook date fields (`lastReceivedAt`, `disposedAt`):

```ts
tokenRetentionUntil: timestampWithTooltipOrNull,
```

`tokenRetentionUntil` is a `Date` field, and `timestampWithTooltipOrNull` (defined at line 402) is the display helper used by all the other surfaced date fields (`createdAt`, `startedAt`, `completedAt`, `retryAfter`, `resumeAt`, `occurredAt`). Given the intent of `ad58321` was to expose the hook retention deadline, surfacing it as a tooltip-annotated timestamp is the consistent choice.

Only `attributeToDisplayFn` is a fully exhaustive `Record<AttributeKey, ...>`; the other maps are `Partial<...>` / `Set`, so no other edits are required.

## Verification

`node_modules` are not installed in this sandbox, so `tsc` could not be executed directly. Verified structurally instead: the newly added `tokenRetentionUntil` entry (line 449) references `timestampWithTooltipOrNull`, which is defined in-file at line 402 and already used by the sibling date entries, so the fix satisfies the missing-key requirement without introducing new type errors.

Peter Wielander cb77725960 [core] Derive correlation ids from per-kind sequences (opt-in) (#3301) 2026-08-03 16:49:15 -07:00
Nathan Rajlich f8f6e17aeb Add opt-in QuickJS WASM VM engine (WORKFLOW_VM=quickjs) (#3048)
* Add opt-in QuickJS WASM VM engine (WORKFLOW_VM=quickjs) with full event replay

* QuickJS engine: AbortController, setAttributes, terminal drain, turbo-safe requeue, stable PRNG seed

* QuickJS engine: hook.getConflict support, cross-run writable forwarding symbols

* QuickJS engine: stream framing round-trip, bound step proxies, webhook fidelity

* Apply biome fixes to QuickJS engine files

* Address review feedback: anchor source-map strip to end-of-input, use getWorkflowQueueName for conflict requeue, Buffer-free asset decoding, function replacers for payload injection, maxEventsLimit guard

* CI: include generated QuickJS source assets in shared e2e build artifacts

* Fix same-token hook ordering and conflicted-hook disposal in the QuickJS engine

* CI: run both VM engines across all frameworks and worlds; label jobs with the engine

* Fix stack overflow stripping inline source maps from webpack dev bundles; harden step-listing e2e assertions against eventually-consistent reads

* e2e: poll step listings until analytics rows include attempt (optional column can lag terminal status)

* e2e: use --withData to force storage-backed step listings for attempt assertions (analytics listing can omit attempt entirely)

* Sort imports in QuickJS serialization files (biome organizeImports)

* QuickJS engine: resolve the run's full payload-key capability so sealed (encp) hook payloads open

Main's sealed-box work (#3096) makes cross-deployment resumeHook() seal
hook payloads to the target run's published X25519 public key. The shared
start() path publishes that key regardless of engine, so QuickJS runs
receive sealed payloads too — but the QuickJS entrypoint resolved only the
bare symmetric key via importKey(), which cannot open encp envelopes. The
first sealed hook payload wedged the run right after hook_received, timing
out every hook/webhook e2e on Vercel prod (node:vm legs were fine — the
node engine resolves the full capability via memoizeEncryptionKey).

Resolve deriveRunPayloadKeys() in the entrypoint instead and widen the
runtime's key types from CryptoKey to DecryptionKey. Writes stay symmetric
(encrypt() with RunPayloadKeys takes the encr path). Regression test seals
a payload exactly as resumeHook does and round-trips it through the VM.

* Address review: crypto/process parity, loud Intl guards, lazy engine import, VM-leak guard, telemetry namespace, eval-string escaping

- Deterministic crypto.getRandomValues/randomUUID in the VM bootstrap,
  drawing from the seeded Math.random (identical sequences to the node
  engine's vm/index.ts implementations); all crypto.subtle methods throw
  with step-function guidance. process.env exposed as a frozen copy,
  matching node.
- Intl: throwing constructors (no ICU in QuickJS), and toLocale*-family
  methods (incl. localeCompare) throw when given an explicit locale so
  cross-engine divergence is loud instead of silently writing different
  values into the event log. No-argument forms keep working.
- runtime.ts lazy-imports the QuickJS entrypoint at dispatch, keeping the
  ~1.3MB embedded WASM assets out of node-engine deployments.
- runQuickJSWorkflow wraps the per-run phase so an exceptional exit
  disposes the VM instead of leaking it in a reused compute instance;
  corrected the misleading fail-loud comment (run_failed, not retry);
  warn when the event drain loop exhausts its iteration bound.
- Telemetry attributes renamed quickjs.* → workflow.vm.* to stay in the
  file's workflow.* namespace.
- Eval-string correlation-id interpolation uses JSON.stringify instead of
  quote-only escaping.
- common-vm.test.ts pins the reducer/reviver superset invariant against
  common.ts so the duplicated sets can't silently drift.
- Docs enumerate the remaining global-surface differences (subtle.digest,
  Intl, WebAssembly, Atomics); quickjs-entrypoint documents the known
  precondition-guard gap.

* QuickJS engine: implement resilient resumeHook (hookInput materialization + resumeId dedup)

#1834 made resumeHook() fall back to enqueueing the run with a hookInput
payload when the direct hook_received write fails transiently, with the
runtime materializing the missing event on delivery. Only the node:vm
path implemented it — the QuickJS dispatch returned before the node
block, so the resilient payload was silently dropped and the new e2e
timed out on every quickjs leg.

- runtime.ts threads hookInput into runWorkflowWithQuickJS; the
  entrypoint materializes the missing hook_received after loading the
  event log (resumeId-keyed dedup, occurredAt from the resumeId ULID,
  local eventData substitution for lazy/ref responses, EntityConflict /
  HookNotFound handling) — mirroring the node block.
- processEvents drops duplicate hook_received rows sharing a resumeId
  (first-in-log wins), matching the node engine's EventsConsumer dedup;
  the seen-set lives in the VM heap so it is deterministic per replay.

Verified against the dev server with WORKFLOW_VM=quickjs: the resilient
resume e2e passes and the materialization is observable in the logs; all
27 hook e2e tests green.

* Rerun CI

* QuickJS engine: split VM-local class/step-function reducers off the hardened host codec

The hardened host-side serialization (#3257) made the shared
reducers/class.ts and reducers/step-function.ts depend on
serialization/hardened.ts, which imports node:util and captures host
intrinsics — unbundleable and meaningless inside the QuickJS guest,
where the codec already runs in the guest realm. Point the VM codec at
pre-hardening copies with identical wire format; the host/guest
boundary hardening for this engine arrives with the host-side serde
that retires the VM bundle.

* QuickJS engine: enqueue explicit wait continuations instead of same-message redelivery

Scheduling sleep wakeups by returning { timeoutSeconds } redelivers the
CURRENT queue message. When that message is a hook-resume delivery
(carrying hookInput), its redelivery re-runs the lazy-resume re-ensure
in the handler prologue; if the workflow disposed the hook during the
first delivery (dispose -> sleep), the re-ensure gets HookNotFound, the
prologue acks the message as 'nothing left to resume', and the wait
timer it carried is silently lost — the run wedges (caught by the
hookDisposeTestWorkflow e2e).

Enqueue fresh continuation messages instead, matching the node engine's
suspension handler: getWaitContinuationDispatch for pending waits
(gaining delay clamping/hop chaining and pending-wait dedup keys) and a
plain immediate message for elapsed-wait / attr_set / getConflict
requeues. A fresh message carries only runId, so its delivery always
reaches replay.

Also: read hook_received resumeId from the canonical top-level event
field (eventData.resumeId is the deprecated legacy fallback), and stop
passing hookInput into the entrypoint — the shared prologue in
runtime.ts materializes the event for both engines. Adds a VM replay
test for the hook -> dispose -> sleep shape.

* Sort imports in quickjs-entrypoint (biome organizeImports)

* Address review: dispatch inside run-level try/catch, queue namespace + run-origin trace carrier threading, configurable interrupt budget

- Move the QuickJS engine dispatch inside the replay loop's try so
  escaping engine failures (MaxEventsExceededError, WASM OOM,
  bundle-eval errors) reach the catch that classifies and records
  run_failed, instead of nacking the message and burning all 48 queue
  redeliveries into MAX_DELIVERIES_EXCEEDED. Transient world errors
  still rethrow for redelivery. Updated the two comments that describe
  the propagation.
- Thread the queue namespace from runtime.ts through
  runWorkflowWithQuickJS into every message publish (step dispatch,
  hook_conflict requeue, immediate requeue, wait continuation) —
  without it, publishes on a namespaced deployment land on
  __wkf_workflow_* while consumers listen on __<ns>_wkf_workflow_*.
- Thread the run-origin nextTraceCarrier accessor through instead of
  capturing the current invocation context, so linked-mode invocations
  form a star around workflow.start rather than chaining; the
  hook_conflict requeue now carries a traceCarrier and requestedAt.
- Replace the hardcoded 30s VM interrupt budget with the configurable
  replay budget (getReplayTimeoutMs, default 240s), matching the node
  engine.

Nathan Colosimo 89ede82faa feat(core): widen retained boundaries to plain data and standard built-ins (#3047)
* gate retention on the hardened serializer's guest-code report instead of primitives-only args

Replaces the isPrimitiveStepArgument allowlist with the GuestCodeStats sink
that dehydrateStepArguments already exposes: a boundary retains unless
serializing its step inputs actually executed workflow code (getters, proxy
traps, custom serializers), plus a descriptor-walk probe for a replaced
Error.prepareStackTrace — the one execution path the sink cannot see,
because the serializer treats V8's engine stack getter as engine-provided.

Plain data and standard built-ins (Map, Set, Date, RegExp, Error, typed
arrays, URL, Headers) now stay on the fast path, including under prototype
patching and polyfills, since serialization reads them through captured
intrinsics.

Nathan Colosimo 5d591d2886 perf(core): retain workflow VM across inline steps (primitives-gated) (#3046)
* perf(core): retain workflow VM across inline steps

Combines the retained-session architecture from #2984 with the env kill
switch and loop-level single-VM test from #2966.

- executeWorkflow with discriminated request/result types and a
  WorkflowSession state machine (running/suspended/failed/replay/completed)
- EventsConsumer.append: only newly durable events feed the live VM
- WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM=0 kill switch (default on)
- retained-vm-loop.test.ts: proves one VM per run and byte-identical
  output vs the from-scratch replay path

* refactor(core): simplify retained-session control flow

- executeWorkflow overloads: a fresh replay request can no longer return
  { type: 'replay' }, deleting the runtime invariant throw and
  runWorkflow's dead branch
- isSameSuspensionBoundary reduced to the steps-array comparison (all
  suspension counts are derived from steps in the constructor)
- runtime loop initializes workflowResult with a ternary

* fix(core): decline retention for VMs that ran host-timed async work

crypto.subtle.digest is the only sandbox API whose promise resolves on
host timing rather than from the event log, so a workflow racing it
against a step can advance while suspended and diverge from what replay
reconstructs. A sticky usedHostAsync bit on the VM context makes
canRetainWorkflowSession fall back to ordinary replay for such VMs;
a quiescent step-only VM remains a pure function of the consumed
event prefix and stays retainable.

* fix(core): track all host-timed async VM APIs for retention

Atomics.waitAsync (a wall-clock timer via SharedArrayBuffer) and the
async WebAssembly compilation entry points resolve on host timing just
like crypto.subtle.digest. Wrap every such intrinsic in createContext so
usedHostAsync covers the complete set; dynamic import() settles within a
microtask and cannot advance a suspended VM.

* feat(core): compute crypto.subtle.digest synchronously in the sandbox

node:crypto createHash produces byte-identical values to WebCrypto and
settles the digest promise on a deterministic microtask instead of host
threadpool timing. A digest can therefore never advance a suspended
workflow, so digest-using VMs stay retainable; only Atomics.waitAsync
and async WebAssembly compilation remain host-timed. createHash is
stable and undeprecated on Node 18-26 (DEP0179 only removed the direct
Hash constructor).

* fix(core): remove WeakRef and FinalizationRegistry from the sandbox

GC observation depends on host GC timing that neither replay nor a
retained VM can reconstruct from the event log. WeakMap/WeakSet stay
available (they do not expose GC state).

* fix(core): enforce the BufferSource contract in the sandbox digest

Reject non-BufferSource digest input with TypeError like WebCrypto does,
via the native ArrayBuffer.prototype.byteLength brand check (works
across vm realms). Previously a plain number was treated as a
Uint8Array length, turning a small input into a giant allocation.

* fix(core): demote retention when suspension serialization draws randomness

handleSuspension dehydrates step arguments with the live VM, and that
serialization can execute user code (getters, WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE hooks).
Randomness drawn there would desync the retained VM's future correlation
IDs from what a fresh replay regenerates. Count every draw from the
seeded stream at its single source in createContext and fall back to
ordinary replay if handleSuspension consumed any.

* refactor(core): make VM quiescence unconditional, cut tracking machinery

Delete Atomics.waitAsync and the async WebAssembly entry points from the
sandbox instead of tracking their use — with digest synchronous and GC
intrinsics removed, no sandbox API settles a promise on host timing, so
a suspended VM provably cannot advance. This deletes the trackHostAsync
wrapper, the usedHostAsync bit and session method, the runtime gate
clause, the session 'failed' state (unreachable), and the
background-progress test scenarios (impossible by construction).

* refactor(core): gate retention on passively cloneable step inputs

Replace the RNG draw-counter demotion with prevention: when a session is
a retention candidate, new step inputs take a passive descriptor walk
(never invoking getters; proxies, accessors, functions, custom classes,
and platform wrappers decline) and safe values are structuredClone'd
into the host realm before dehydration, so serialization never executes
workflow-owned code against a retained VM. Unsafe inputs serialize the
old way and the session falls back to ordinary replay.

* fix(core): harden the passive step-input walker

- require enumerable on array index descriptors: structuredClone drops
  non-enumerable indices that devalue persists
- read workflow globals and constructor prototypes via own-property
  descriptors only, so validation can never execute workflow-owned
  accessors on redefined globals

* fix(core): guard proxied constructors in the passive-input walker

constructorPrototype reads both realms' constructors via own-property
descriptors only and refuses proxies before any descriptor read, so a
proxied redefined global can never observe validation.

* fix(core): preserve retention gate after rebase

* fix(core): all-or-nothing clone batches; reject SAB views in digest

- A mixed step batch (one unsafe sibling input) now serializes every
  input through the ordinary VM path: a clone snapshotted before an
  unsafe sibling's serialization runs its getters could otherwise
  durably capture stale sibling state.
- crypto.subtle.digest rejects SharedArrayBuffer-backed views with
  TypeError, matching WebCrypto's BufferSource contract.

* fix(core): narrow the fast path to prototype-independent types

devalue serializes Map/Set through the realm's iterator protocol and
Date/RegExp/typed arrays through prototype getters, all of which
workflow code can mutate — so their serialization is not provably
passive and their bytes could differ between retained and cold modes.
The fast path now accepts only primitives, plain objects, and plain
arrays, which devalue traverses exclusively via own-property reads.
Slot-bearing exotics decline even with a swapped prototype.

The sandbox digest now reads view metadata (buffer/byteOffset/
byteLength) through captured intrinsic getters, so own properties
shadowing them cannot change which bytes are hashed or bypass the
SharedArrayBuffer rejection.

* fix(core): freeze serialization-consulted sandbox intrinsics

instanceof dispatch (Symbol.hasInstance via the constructor,
Function.prototype, and Object.prototype), the class reducer's
value.constructor walk, and devalue's Object/Array traversal all consult
intrinsics workflow code could redefine — legally and deterministically —
which would make the durable step input depend on WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM
(spoofed values serialize as e.g. Maps on the cold path but as plain
clones on the retained path). Freeze Object/Array/Function (constructors
and prototypes), the VM collection constructors, and every
reducer-referenced global binding (absent ones pinned to undefined)
right before the workflow bundle evaluates, so the retained-input
equivalence holds by construction.

Host-realm constructor escapes (e.g. TextEncoder.constructor) remain
out of the determinism contract: code scheduling host timers was never
deterministic under ordinary replay either; documented on
canRetainWorkflowSession.

* fix(core): freeze every non-shared serialization constructor

Typed-array constructors (and their shared %TypedArray% parent), the
Date wrapper, and the session-local AbortController/AbortSignal/
Request/Response bindings were pinned but not frozen, so workflow code
could still add Symbol.hasInstance statics that diverge reducer dispatch
between the retained clone (host constructors) and ordinary VM
serialization. Freeze every binding value that is not the shared host
intrinsic; shared host objects are dispatched identically by both paths,
so mutations there cannot cause mode divergence.

* fix(core): build retained clones in a pristine realm

Replace structuredClone with an explicit deep copy into an SDK-private
realm: clones previously inherited host prototypes, which workflow code
can reach (e.g. via structuredClone's return values) and vandalize with
Symbol.toStringTag or constructor overrides, shifting devalue's
classification of the clone relative to the ordinary VM path. The
pristine realm is unreachable by any user code, and the explicit copy
serializes exactly what devalue traverses (own indices, own enumerable
string props). Arrays also now decline own constructor properties,
which the class reducer reads even when non-enumerable.

* fix(core): verify host dispatch pristineness before retained cloning

Host intrinsics are shared with the whole process and cannot be frozen,
but workflow code can reach them (structuredClone results, exposed host
classes) and install Symbol.hasInstance predicates that distinguish the
original from its clone — or WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE statics on host
Object/Array that the class reducer reads for host-prototype originals
(hydrated step results). prepareRetainedStepInput now verifies, via
own-descriptor reads only, that every host dispatch point is pristine
and declines retention before any clone exists — so a spoofed predicate
can never observe or capture a pristine-realm object.

* fix(core): reject symbol properties from retained step inputs

Reducers dispatch on symbol tags (e.g. the workflow abort-signal
markers) that are non-enumerable and dropped by the pristine-realm
copy, so a tagged object would serialize as an abort descriptor on the
cold path but as plain data on the retained path.

* fix(core): retained inputs accept only own enumerable data properties

Hidden own keys of any kind — non-enumerable properties, accessors,
symbols — can be observed by serialization dispatch (reducer probes
like .signal, thenable checks, the class reducer) while the pristine
clone drops them. With no hidden own keys, every probe on an accepted
object resolves deterministically through validated data or pristine
prototypes.

* fix(core): freeze binding prototype chains for hasInstance lookup

Symbol.hasInstance dispatch walks the constructor's prototype chain, so
the frozen Date wrapper still exposed the unfrozen original VM Date it
delegates statics to. Freeze each non-shared binding's full chain
(stopping at host Function/Object prototypes) and verify host
Object.prototype carries no added hasInstance on the detection side.

* refactor(core): single-path retained serialization via pinned members (v2)

Serialize step inputs for retained boundaries through the one ordinary
pipeline (original value, workflow global) instead of cloning into a
pristine realm and serializing under the host global. With a single
serialization event shared by every mode, durable bytes structurally
cannot depend on WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM; the only property retention needs
is that serialization executes no workflow code, established by:

- the passive walker (descriptor-only, unchanged in spirit), now also
  accepting Map/Set/Date/typed arrays/ArrayBuffer — the common built-in
  step arguments — via prototype-identity checks
- vm/serialization-pins.ts: the 10 prototype members serialization
  executes for those built-ins (measured empirically), captured at
  context creation and identity-verified at each retained boundary; the
  'touches only pinned members' test instruments every member and locks
  the list against serde drift
- host-realm instances (hydrated step results) accepted without member
  verification: host members run host code, which cannot touch retained
  VM state

Deletes the pristine clone realm, the host-dispatch pristineness checks,
and the batch clone bookkeeping.

* refactor(core): freeze built-in prototypes instead of pinning members (v3)

Review found the pin approach's structural hole: the class reducer READS
value.constructor through Map.prototype — a data property when pristine
(so member instrumentation never listed it), but executable the moment
workflow code redefines it as a getter. Pinning what serialization
executes misses what it reads. Freeze the accepted built-ins' prototypes
wholesale (Map/Set/Date + iterator prototypes, %TypedArray% + subclass
prototypes, ArrayBuffer): reads and executes are both immutable, and a
patch attempt now throws loudly at the patch site instead of silently
degrading. Deletes vm/serialization-pins.ts; the walker requires
Object.isFrozen on the realm prototype (also covering realms where the
freeze never ran).

Also restores the host-dispatch pristineness check the v2 cut lost:
workflow code can reach shared host constructors (exposed classes,
structuredClone results) and plant workflow-realm Symbol.hasInstance
hooks or WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE statics that reducers would execute during
retained serialization. Host-realm built-in instances decline for the
same reason; host-realm plain data (hydrated results) stays retainable.

* fix(core): harden the passivity checker's own execution surface

- Capture Map/Set forEach and the %TypedArray% buffer getter as module-
  load primordials: the checker previously invoked live host methods that
  workflow code can reach (structuredClone(new Map()).constructor) and
  replace with delegating workflow-realm closures.
- Typed arrays must have one of the realm's real frozen subclass
  prototypes by identity — 'frozen and chains to %TypedArray%' admitted
  manufactured frozen hostile prototypes with delegating buffer getters.

* fix(core): checker uses module-load primordials; verify inherited serializer statics

- The walker resolved Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor, Reflect.ownKeys,
  Array.isArray, Number/String helpers, and Object.getPrototypeOf/isFrozen
  from live host globals workflow code can reach and replace; all are now
  module-load captures, so the checker can never execute a planted
  delegate.
- The class reducer reads cls[WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE]/cls.classId as
  inherited Gets, so isHostDispatchPristine now also verifies host
  Function.prototype and Object.prototype carry no serializer statics.

Generic replacement of shared host statics (Object.keys, Array.from, …)
via realm escape remains the documented host-reachability boundary,
tracked by the realm-local intrinsics follow-up.

* fix(core): stale-suspension generation token; cover BigInt toString

- Suspension signals capture ctx.suspensionGeneration when scheduled and
  no-op if the session resumed past that boundary. The harmful interleaving
  was already unreachable (queue items are deleted on consume, completion
  writes state synchronously, nextTick precedes timers) — the token turns
  those ordering facts into an explicit invariant.
- The BigInt reducer calls .toString() on primitives from host code, which
  resolves on host BigInt.prototype: its identity joins the host dispatch
  check, and the VM BigInt.prototype is frozen besides.

* feat(core): deterministic sandbox hardening

- crypto.subtle.digest computes synchronously via node:crypto:
  byte-identical values, promise settles on a deterministic microtask,
  full BufferSource validation (internal-slot view reads, SAB rejection)
- Atomics.waitAsync (a wall-clock timer), async WebAssembly compilation,
  WeakRef, and FinalizationRegistry are removed from the sandbox — wall
  clock and GC observation are unreplayable; sync WebAssembly
  constructors remain
- freezeSerializationIntrinsics pins the universal dispatch surfaces:
  Object.prototype/Array.prototype/Function.prototype are frozen (every
  missed property read and hasInstance lookup terminates there) and
  serialization-referenced global bindings are non-writable. Value-type
  prototypes and constructor statics stay patchable so polyfills
  (Temporal's Date.prototype.toTemporalInstant, core-js Set.prototype
  .union / Object.groupBy) keep working — the retained-input gate
  verifies the members serialization executes per boundary instead.

Groundwork for retained-VM replay (#2990).

* feat(core): retain the workflow VM across inline steps (primitive args)

Keeps the suspended workflow VM, its events consumer, and the paused
async stack alive across inline step executions within one invocation.
Each loop iteration appends only the newly written events instead of
replaying the entire event log in a fresh VM, so step-to-step overhead
stays flat as runs grow.

- WorkflowSession wraps executeWorkflow: suspended sessions expose
  resume(events) which appends to the retained EventsConsumer and lets
  the parked run() continuation settle; any divergence (unexpected
  suspension shape, consumer error) demotes to full replay permanently
- Retention is gated per boundary: only suspensions whose queued step
  inputs are all primitives (null/undefined/boolean/number/string) are
  retainable, because serializing primitives executes no workflow code;
  a follow-up widens this to plain data and standard built-ins
- Suspensions with hooks, waits, or attributes always fall back
- A suspension generation token invalidates stale timer callbacks from
  an abandoned suspension so they cannot advance a resumed VM
- WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM=0 kill switch; telemetry records
  workflow.execution.mode = replay | retained

Part 2 of the retained-VM stack (#2990); requires the determinism
hardening in part 1.

* chore: retrigger vercel deployments

* Drop serialization intrinsic freezing from the sandbox

The retained-VM passivity design moved from pinning/verifying the
sandbox surfaces serialization dispatches on to injecting hardened
operations into devalue itself (with taint-based de-opt), so freezing
Object/Array/Function prototypes and pinning global bindings is no
longer needed. Keep only the determinism hardening (sync digest,
removal of wall-clock/GC-observing APIs).

* Document and lock in why async crypto.subtle methods cannot break quiescence

The remaining async subtle methods reject immediately through the crypto
proxy (brand check — the receiver is not a real SubtleCrypto), so they can
never mint a host-timing promise. Narrow the quiescence comment to what the
code actually enforces and add a test so the unreachability is not silently
"fixed" later.

* simplify sandbox hardening: lean digest input conversion, async digest, explicit subtle throwers

* simplify retention: single decision site in suspension catch, steps-only allow-list gate, drop prepareForRetention param

* mark sandbox API removals as a major change

* simplify retention further: one staleness mechanism (generation bump on suspend), whole predicate in canRetainWorkflowSession, lazy hook/wait scan, prewarm on resume path

* simplify session API and tests: replace executeWorkflow overloads with replayWorkflow/resumeWorkflow, drop low-value events-consumer tests, compact session and retained-loop tests

* add parallel-batch retention test (sibling signal absorption) and document the unguarded-signaler invariant

* simplify workflow.ts types: 5 named types (WorkflowResult/WorkflowResumeResult), async resume(), rename runtime local to retainedSession

* add retention-interleaving e2e (retained/demoted/wait/hook boundaries), drop session telemetry test

* discard the retained session on every in-process 412 restart

Review finding (both panel reviewers): restartReplayInProcess — added on
main by #3145 while this branch was in flight — reset the cached log but
not the parked VM session. Any stale-snapshot continue then resumed a
session belonging to the discarded log: after a run_completed 412 the
completed session's resume() throws and the run is durably failed despite
having completed; after a suspension-create 412 the session is resumed
without ever passing the retention decision, bypassing both the
WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM kill switch and the step-input gate. A restart now
always falls back to a fresh replay. Regression test injects a 412 on
run_completed and proves fresh-replay completion (red without the fix).

* review round 2: set suspensionGeneration in typed test harness contexts; correct the open-hook/wait scan comment (this suspension's writes are not merged into the cached log — non-step suspensions never reach the scan)

* simplify pass: reuse once() from @workflow/utils for the open-hook/wait memo; drop optional-chaining that contradicted the surrounding guards

Karthik Kalyan 31f92df10d Lazy hook resumption: parallel event write + queue publish (#3230)
* feat(core): lazy hook resumption via parallel event write + queue publish (rebased onto #1834 + #3145)

Rebase of #3230 onto current main (267765375 + #1834 resilient resumeHook
+ #3145 event-count-gated replay restart). Reconstructed as a single commit
since `git rebase -i` is unavailable in this environment.

Reconciliation vs the pre-rebase branch:
- Replaces #1834's version-prediction (`supportsQueueHookInput`,
  `QUEUE_HOOK_INPUT_MIN_VERSION`) with #3230's capability protocol
  (persisted `hookResumeInputVersion` + static `hookResumeDedup`).
- One idempotency protocol: a single `resumeId` + SHA-256 payload digest
  per resume, sent to both the direct event write and the queue `hookInput`.
- Two execution tiers: backend+consumer attest dedup -> parallel
  `Promise.allSettled(event write, queue publish)`; otherwise plain
  sequential (no hookInput/resumeId, event-write errors propagate).
- Consumer re-ensures the `hook_received` event (keyed by resumeId/digest)
  after event loading, before replay; skips when already preloaded.
- Preserves #3145: event-count guard, `preconditionReinvocations`,
  in-process replay restart, `insertEventByEventId`.
- Removes #1834's resumeId-only test (never released); adds parallel +
  consumer-preload + world-local dedup/producer-consumer suites.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): read top-level event.resumeId in replay dedup; reconcile unreleased #1834 docs/changeset

- hook.ts: dedup hook_received replay on top-level event.resumeId (the
  backend now hoists it to a first-class column), with the legacy nested
  eventData.resumeId retained as a deprecated parse-only fallback.
- workflow.test.ts: cover dedup across both top-level and legacy nested forms.
- resume-hook.ts: emit producer recovery telemetry when a transient
  event-write failure is swallowed on the parallel path.
- resume-hook.consumer-preload.test.ts: add terminal-run (consume) and
  transient-conflict (rethrow/redeliver) re-ensure cases.
- Consolidate the two overlapping changesets into resilient-resume-hook.md
  and delete the redundant lazy-hook-resumption.md.
- Docs: return type back to Promise<Hook> (resume-hook.mdx), rewrite the
  resilience changelog to the final parallel/deduplicated design, and correct
  the WORKFLOW_DISABLE_LAZY_HOOK_RESUME resilience wording.

* docs,core: rename "Resilient hook resume" → "Lazy hook resume" for consistency

- changelog/index.mdx: update the changelog entry title.
- hook.ts: update the dedup comment label to "Lazy-resume dedup".

* chore: give #3230 its own changeset instead of repurposing #1834's

The lazy-hook-resume work had been folded into #1834's pre-existing
`resilient-resume-hook.md` changeset. Give this PR its own changeset and
delete the superseded #1834 one, whose `resilientResume: true` flag promise
no longer holds (resumeHook() returns plain Promise<Hook>).

Follow-up to 63d877178, which deleted #1834's superseded changeset but did
not stage the replacement. Adds this PR's own changeset.

- docs/.../changelog/resilient-resume.mdx (restored verbatim)

#3230 keeps only its own changeset plus the two docs its code/config genuinely
require: the resumeHook() Promise<Hook> return type (ResumedHook is removed
from the code) and the new WORKFLOW_DISABLE_LAZY_HOOK_RESUME env var.

* Reconcile #1834 ResumedHook contract with #3230 parallel resume

Preserve the resilient-resume contract from #1834 on the parallelized
resumeHook() fast path instead of dropping it:

- Restore the `ResumedHook` type (Hook + optional `resilientResume`) and its
  exports (`@workflow/core/runtime`, `workflow/api`); resumeHook/resumeHookImpl
  return `Promise<ResumedHook>`.
- Set `resilientResume: true` on the swallow-recover branch (transient direct
  write failure + successful queue dispatch), absent on the happy/sequential
  paths.
- Restore the producer OTEL convention `workflow.hook.resilient_resume` and the
  consumer `workflow.hook.resilient_resume_materialized`, wired where the
  consumer re-ensures the event.
- Restore the consumer `occurredAt` derivation from the resume ULID so the
  materialized hook_received is dated to resume time, not queue-round-trip time.
- Fix the #3230 changeset's contradictory "Still returns Promise<Hook>" line and
  update the resilient-resume changelog + resume-hook API reference to the
  shipped parallel/dedup behavior.
- Port the #1834 failure-path coverage into resume-hook.parallel.test.ts
  (non-retryable event-write rethrow, both-fail prioritizes the queue error,
  resilientResume flag + payload delivery on the recovered path).

* Address review: drop dead nested resumeId fallback, remove server PR link

- Drop the legacy nested `eventData.resumeId` fallback in the hook consumer.
  The nested form was only ever written by unreleased preview builds and is
  stripped by `EventSchema` parsing (the `hook_received` eventData schema does
  not declare it), so the fallback was dead code. Dedup now keys solely off the
  top-level `event.resumeId` column. Repoint the replay dedup test to the
  surviving top-level path (it previously exercised the nested form only by
  building unparsed Event objects in memory).
- Remove the internal workflow-server PR reference from world-vercel's
  capability note (the link 404s outside the org); the note keeps the same
  information without the dead link.

Peter Wielander 1471f252fa [core] Gate event creation on the loaded event count and restart replays in-process (#3145) 2026-07-31 14:27:43 -07:00
Nathan Rajlich 438eaa6a59 Make resumeHook() resilient to transient hook_received event write failures (#1834)
* Make resumeHook() resilient to transient hook_received event write failures

When events.create('hook_received') fails with a retryable error (429/5xx),
resumeHook() now dispatches the queue message with a `hookInput` payload
carrying the dehydrated hook payload. The workflow runtime materializes the
missing hook_received event from that payload on its next delivery, mirroring
the existing resilient-start behavior of start() / run_created / run_started.

Returned Hook carries a new `resilientResume: true` flag when the fallback
path was taken. Both write paths share a client-minted `resumeId` as an
idempotency key so the runtime can dedup if the direct write actually
committed but the client saw a transient error.

Uses a sequential write-then-queue flow (not parallel) to avoid a dedup race
on the happy path: hook_received events have no entity-level conflict guard
(unlike run_created), so a duplicate written before the direct write commits
would double-deliver the payload to the workflow.

* Fix resilient resume: use local payload in materialized hook_received event

The server returns a 'lazy' response for hook_received event creation,
where eventData.payload may be a RefDescriptor (when the payload
exceeded the inline size and was offloaded to blob storage) rather
than the raw bytes. Pushing this directly to the in-memory events
array caused the workflow VM to fail with 'Invalid input' when trying
to deserialize the RefDescriptor as a Uint8Array.

Substitute the eventData we already have locally so the in-memory
event matches what getWorkflowRunEvents would return after
client-side ref hydration.

* Gate resilient resume on target runtime capability; carry hook token; export ResumedHook; docs

- Only take the resilient path when the target run's recorded
  @workflow/core version understands hookInput on the queue payload.
  Runs keep executing on the deployment they were created on (skew
  protection), and older runtimes parse the queue message with a schema
  that silently strips unknown fields - the resume payload would be
  lost while resumeHook() reported success. Fail fast (propagate the
  original event-write error) for such runs instead, preserving the
  caller's ability to retry.
- Carry the hook token on hookInput and write it into the materialized
  hook_received event so it gets the same replay-divergence guard as a
  directly written event (#2030 parity).
- Export ResumedHook from @workflow/core/runtime and workflow/api.
- Add changelog page and update resumeHook() API reference docs.

* Address review: correct capability cutoff, drop own-version escape hatch, replay-side resumeId dedup

Review fixes for the resilient-resume capability gate and dedup:

- Bump the supportsQueueHookInput cutoff to 5.0.0-beta.39: 5.0.0-beta.38 is
  published WITHOUT this feature (its queue-payload schema strips hookInput),
  so classifying it as capable would silently lose resume payloads. The
  cutoff is now a single exported constant (QUEUE_HOOK_INPUT_MIN_VERSION)
  with a TODO(release) requiring re-verification at merge time.
- Remove the own-version exact-match escape hatch entirely: version strings
  do not identify builds (a published beta.38 and a main-built tarball can
  share a version string while differing in content), so the check could
  declare a featureless published deployment capable. Pre-release builds now
  fall back to fail-fast until the version is bumped past the cutoff — the
  safe direction. Tests simulate a capable target explicitly.
- Make duplicate suppression authoritative at the replay boundary: replay
  now dedups hook_received events sharing a resumeId (same resume attempt),
  so even when concurrent redelivery of the same queue message
  double-materializes the event (no World enforces uniqueness on
  hook_received), the payload reaches workflow code exactly once. This is a
  pure function of the persisted log, keeping replay deterministic. The
  runtime's snapshot check remains as best-effort write suppression, with
  its comment corrected to say so; the EntityConflictError catch is kept as
  the forward-compatible signal for planned server-side (runId, resumeId)
  uniqueness, with its comment corrected to say it is defensive today.
- Stamp materialized hook_received events with occurredAt decoded from the
  resumeId ULID so resiliently-resumed hooks are timestamped at resume time
  rather than after the queue round-trip.
- Pin the cross-version compat contract in a test: the direct write is
  resumeId-only (no digest or negotiation fields), which later server-side
  idempotency work must keep accepting.
- Exercise the published boundary (5.0.0-beta.38) in fail-fast tests, and
  make the capability tests self-check against the exported cutoff constant
  instead of restating literals.
- Docs: changelog date June -> July 2026, dash consistency, and document the
  replay-side dedup guarantee.

* Encode release-gate and successor-rebase contracts into code comments

Comment-only changes capturing the review agreements so they survive the
parallel-resume successor rebase (no behavior change):

- capabilities.ts: the QUEUE_HOOK_INPUT_MIN_VERSION re-verification point
  is the actual combined SDK release (after the successor lands and its
  server-side dedup is deployed), not source-merge time — this PR merges
  source-only and no SDK is published from it alone. Every Version
  Packages merge in between moves the earliest possible carrier.
- workflow/hook.ts + runtime.ts: scope the replay-side resumeId dedup
  honestly as defense-in-depth over the persisted log, not a
  cross-invocation exactly-once guarantee — concurrent invocations
  replaying pre-duplicate snapshots each see only their own row; the
  storage-level (runId, resumeId) constraint in the successor work is the
  correctness boundary. The set stays useful post-constraint for logs
  written before it deployed.
- runtime.ts: document the EntityConflictError swallow's known gap while
  the branch is defensive (this invocation's local log lacks the payload;
  progress relies on the other writer's delivery or redelivery) and pin
  the rebase contract for when the constraint makes it live: a matching
  claim must append the canonical event locally and succeed; a real
  conflict must rethrow for redelivery.
- resume-hook-resilient.test.ts: reframe the wire-shape pin as a tripwire
  rather than a permanent contract — the successor deliberately widens it
  (ID/digest pair + attestation) before any SDK release, so the
  resumeId-only shape never ships as a published server contract.

Pranay Prakash 7d7effd49f docs: correct the workflow ID claim in publishing libraries (#3153)
* docs: correct the workflow ID claim in publishing libraries

The consumer re-export file does not relocate a library's workflow and
step IDs into the consumer's source tree. An ID is derived from where the
file lives, so any export-reachable package file keeps a name@version ID
whether or not it is re-exported.

Rename the section to describe what the re-export actually does — put the
package's directive files on the compiler's discovery graph and give the
entry point a resolvable address — and add the upgrade guidance that
follows from the real behavior: a package version bump renames every
workflow and step it ships, so in-flight runs must drain first.

The wrong claim also appeared in the page summary and the CopyPrompt, so
it is corrected in all three places, in both the v4 and v5 copies.

* docs: describe deployment pinning instead of drain guidance

Runs are pinned to the deployment that recorded their step IDs, so a
library version bump does not strand in-flight runs: new runs execute
the new version, in-flight runs keep replaying on their original
deployment. Replaces the incorrect drain-before-upgrade advice.

Nathan Colosimo d813fb8ee8 feat(core): deterministic sandbox hardening (#3045)
* feat(core): deterministic sandbox hardening

- crypto.subtle.digest computes synchronously via node:crypto:
  byte-identical values, promise settles on a deterministic microtask,
  full BufferSource validation (internal-slot view reads, SAB rejection)
- Atomics.waitAsync (a wall-clock timer), async WebAssembly compilation,
  WeakRef, and FinalizationRegistry are removed from the sandbox — wall
  clock and GC observation are unreplayable; sync WebAssembly
  constructors remain
- freezeSerializationIntrinsics pins the universal dispatch surfaces:
  Object.prototype/Array.prototype/Function.prototype are frozen (every
  missed property read and hasInstance lookup terminates there) and
  serialization-referenced global bindings are non-writable. Value-type
  prototypes and constructor statics stay patchable so polyfills
  (Temporal's Date.prototype.toTemporalInstant, core-js Set.prototype
  .union / Object.groupBy) keep working — the retained-input gate
  verifies the members serialization executes per boundary instead.

Groundwork for retained-VM replay (#2990).

* Drop serialization intrinsic freezing from the sandbox

The retained-VM passivity design moved from pinning/verifying the
sandbox surfaces serialization dispatches on to injecting hardened
operations into devalue itself (with taint-based de-opt), so freezing
Object/Array/Function prototypes and pinning global bindings is no
longer needed. Keep only the determinism hardening (sync digest,
removal of wall-clock/GC-observing APIs).

* Document and lock in why async crypto.subtle methods cannot break quiescence

The remaining async subtle methods reject immediately through the crypto
proxy (brand check — the receiver is not a real SubtleCrypto), so they can
never mint a host-timing promise. Narrow the quiescence comment to what the
code actually enforces and add a test so the unreachability is not silently
"fixed" later.

* simplify sandbox hardening: lean digest input conversion, async digest, explicit subtle throwers

* mark sandbox API removals as a major change

Karthik Kalyan fc81f4502f perf(core): immediate leading-edge dispatch for idle streams (flush window default 0) (#3088)
* perf(core): immediate leading-edge dispatch for idle streams (flush window default 0)

Production producer-rate data (24h of client flush spans): most agents
average 1.03-1.21 chunks per flush with 87-98% single-chunk flushes and
>70% of chunks arriving more than 10ms after the previous request had
already settled — a fixed 10ms leading window batches almost nothing
for them while adding ~20% to isolated-chunk publish latency (~50ms
median RTT). The one bursty producer (avg ~4-8 chunks/flush) gets its
batching from in-flight accumulation, which does not depend on the
window at all.

The leading chunk of an idle sink now dispatches immediately by
default (window 0): first chunk goes out at once, chunks arriving
during its request coalesce into the next group, and each settle
dispatches the accumulated group immediately — path-independent
batching with no fixed tax on slow producers. A positive
WORKFLOW_STREAM_FLUSH_INTERVAL_MS (or world.streamFlushIntervalMs,
applying from the second group) opts into a windowed leading edge for
slow-but-steady producers that prefer larger groups over first-chunk
latency. Early-ack, the durability drain barrier, wire caps, and
backpressure bounds are unchanged.

world.streamFlushIntervalMs; otherwise the world option applies from the

the world when needed, which adds no latency: sendGroup awaits the same
promise before any request can leave.

Karthik Kalyan b610c46f81 perf(core): path-independent stream write batching (group commit in the server writable) (#3078)
* perf(core): move stream write batching into WorkflowServerWritableStream (group commit)

Batching previously lived in flushablePipe's coalescing loop, so it only
engaged on paths that used flushablePipe (getWritable). A raw
ReadableStream crossing a workflow/step boundary is piped with native
pipeTo(), which does not pull chunk N+1 until write(chunk N) resolves —
and write() resolved only after the flush timer AND the server round
trip, so the buffer never held more than one chunk and every token
became its own server request.

The sink now group-commits:
- write() resolves when the chunk enters a bounded client buffer; the
  bound counts buffered AND in-request chunks
  (WORKFLOW_STREAM_MAX_INFLIGHT_CHUNKS, preserving its documented
  meaning) plus a byte bound (WORKFLOW_STREAM_MAX_BUFFERED_BYTES, new,
  default 8 MiB, documented in runtime-tuning). A full buffer applies
  backpressure until a group lands durably.
- The flush interval is a real group-commit window; chunks arriving
  while a request is in flight accumulate and form the next writeMulti
  group. One request in flight at a time preserves chunk order.
- Per-request wire limits (1,000 chunks / 1 MiB) split groups exactly
  as the coalescing pipe did; an oversized single chunk goes alone.
- Durability moved to an explicit barrier (STREAM_DRAIN_SYMBOL):
  close() drains before closing; flushablePipe adopts the barrier so
  lock-release completion (step completion) still means 'everything
  written is durable'; abort() DRAINS the accepted prefix (never
  closing) so a producer error after acked writes cannot lose data —
  native pipeTo aborts the sink on source failure; and a failed pipe
  drains before settling so a step failure is not persisted ahead of
  the emitted prefix. A dispatch failure retains the group, poisons
  the sink, and surfaces at the next write/close/drain.

flushablePipe is now a plain per-chunk pump responsible only for
lock-release completion and durability tracking; its coalescing
machinery and STREAM_WRITE_BATCH_SYMBOL are removed.

Covered: native-pipeTo batching (the regression), awaited per-chunk
loops coalescing into one writeMulti, in-flight accumulation, wire-cap
splits (count/byte/oversized), in-flight-inclusive backpressure for
both bounds, sequential fallback without writeMulti, source-error
prefix delivery through abort, failed-pipe drain-before-reject,
early-ack sticky errors, turbo run-ready barrier gating (incl. dwell
telemetry), drain-barrier adoption/rejection, and group-level flush
spans. 1,572 core unit tests pass; e2e tier requires a deployment and
was not run here.

* fix(core): re-dispatch a chunk buffered in the request settle gap

Review (bot): a write landing between the dispatch loop's empty-buffer
exit and the reaction clearing the in-flight marker armed no timer
(scheduleGroupCommit saw the marker set) and was never dispatched on an
open stream — only a later write/close/drain would pick it up. The
settle reaction now re-dispatches when the buffer is non-empty, treating
the chunk as an in-request arrival; drain waiters settle with the new
chain. Regression test aims a write at the settle gap and asserts both
chunks flush without a close.

* docs(core): document abort-drain boundedness and terminal-run conflict handling

Review note: the abort-path drain is deliberately un-timeboxed (a bound
would drop acked chunks); its worst case is owned by the World
transport's finite timeout/retry budget, and a teardown-driven drain
into an already-terminal run rejects into the existing catch.

* test(core): poll instead of fixed sleeps for dispatch assertions

The native-pipeTo batching test flaked on a slow CI runner: a fixed

intentional negatives keep their fixed windows.

Re-verified each comparison against the vendor's current public docs and
updated what changed since the June 2026 snapshot:

- Temporal: Worker Versioning is now GA; Serverless Workers (AWS Lambda,
  pre-release) scale to zero, so soften the blanket "no scale-to-zero";
  drop the unsubstantiated "Uber" customer claim (Uber is Cadence's origin,
  not a Temporal customer).
- Cloudflare Workflows: note the new per-step billing dimension (500K/mo
  included, then $0.80/100K) landing no earlier than Aug 10, 2026; note the
  50K concurrency ceiling was raised from 4,500 at GA.
- AWS Bedrock AgentCore: add newer GA modules (Harness, Policy, Evaluations);
  correct compliance (SOC/PCI/ISO under internal assessment, audits pending;
  FedRAMP not yet authorized; drop GovCloud claim); refresh languages
  (@aws/agentcore CLI scaffolds TS or Python); "some modules preview" is stale.
- Inngest: Pro pricing $75 -> $99/mo; encryption middleware now TS + Python;
  AgentKit/Realtime are Developer Preview and Connect is public beta; self-host
  is community/best-effort (not "unsupported"); Free-tier run duration 30 days
  vs 366 on Pro; soften funding to ~$30M+.
- AWS Step Functions & trigger.dev: facts re-confirmed; date stamp only.

Bumped every "as of June 2026" stamp to July 2026. v4 and v5 kept identical.

* docs: present comparisons in the present tense; v5-only; Pro usage-based pricing

Follow-up pass on the comparison pages:

- Remove all date references (past and future). Anything that lands on a
  date is stated as already in effect: Cloudflare's per-step billing, Temporal
  Serverless Workers and GA Worker Versioning, AgentCore's Harness/Policy/
  Evaluations modules. Dropped "as of July 2026" stamps, founding/GA years,
  funding round dates, and roadmap/"being added" phrasing.
- Workflow SDK: reference v5 only and treat it as GA (was "v4 GA / v5 beta").
- Pricing and limits: quote the Pro/paid tier only and usage-based rates only;
  drop plan-included quotas and free-tier allowances (Step Functions 4K/mo free,
  Cloudflare 500K steps/mo included, Inngest 50K free execs, Inngest/Free 30-day
  run cap, Temporal $100/mo plan minimum).

v4 and v5 kept identical.

- Drop dateless "upcoming change" phrasing: AgentCore compliance now states
  current facts only (no "self-assessed"/audit-pending implication); remove
  Inngest's "SSPL → Apache after 3 yrs" license-conversion note.
- Don't label the Workflow SDK "GA" — non-beta is the default; also drop bare
  "GA" where it only meant "not beta" (Temporal "7 SDKs", Inngest "TypeScript",
  competitor maturity cells).
- Maturity cells no longer cite version numbers; they describe backing/track
  record instead (e.g. "Built and maintained by Vercel", "Backed by AWS").

v4 and v5 kept identical.

doesn't replicate one-to-one, with how to cover each on the Workflow SDK side.

v4 and v5 kept identical.

* docs: point world links at the /worlds routes

The comparison pages linked to /docs/deploying/world/* and
/docs/deploying/building-a-world, which no longer exist in the docs
trees (the Docs Links check rejects them on v5 pages, where /docs hrefs
are render-rewritten and skip the legacy redirects). Link the canonical
/worlds/* routes directly, in both body links and frontmatter refs.

v4 and v5 kept identical.

- Drop the Maturity row from every at-a-glance table
- Add a "what the limits mean in practice" paragraph to each comparison,
  spelling out what the competitor's caps mean for long-running AI
  workloads, and link Vercel World limits to the pricing doc

Pranay Prakash 8a872529fe docs: make /worlds the canonical home for World docs (#2934)
* docs: make /worlds the canonical home for World docs

The world pages (Local/Postgres/Vercel) and Building a World were
duplicated inside the v4 and v5 docs trees while /worlds/[id] rendered
the v4 copy — hiding v5-only content like multi-region and leaving two
diverging sources of truth.

- Move world docs to an unversioned docs/content/worlds/ collection
  (based on the v5 copies, with inline 4.x callouts for factory naming
  and 5.x-only env vars), rendered at /worlds/*
- Add /worlds/building-a-world; flatten the docs Deploying section to a
  single intro page and drop its Rocket icon
- Point every link, frontmatter ref, and worlds-manifest docs field at
  /worlds/*; add redirects for the removed v5 and building-a-world URLs
- Keep world docs on agent-facing surfaces: search, llms.txt,
  sitemap.md/.xml, and .md exports now serve the worlds collection
- Extend the docs link linter to validate worlds pages (with heading
  anchors) and their outgoing links

* docs: version the world docs like the docs trees (v4/v5 switcher)

Instead of a single unversioned copy, world docs now follow the same
versioning strategy as the docs pages: content/worlds/v4 is served at
/worlds/* (current) and content/worlds/v5 at /v5/worlds/*, restoring the
original per-version content. Each world detail page (and Building a
World) renders the docs version switcher — the worlds listing page has
no natural home for it, so it lives on the world pages themselves.

- Render-time href rewriting on v5 pages now covers /worlds/... links
  (shared rewriteHrefForVersion helper, also used by the v5 docs and
  cookbook routes), and the markdown-export rewrite does the same
- v5 world pages are noindexed with a canonical to /worlds/<id>;
  community worlds stay unversioned (/v5/worlds/<id> redirects)
- /v5/docs/deploying/world/* redirects now land on /v5/worlds/*;
  /v5/worlds and /v5/worlds/compare redirect to the unversioned pages
- Link linter models the versioned worlds URL spaces (v5 pages resolve
  /worlds hrefs against the v5 collection); sitemap.md and the .md
  export routes cover /v5/worlds/*

* docs: fix v4 multi-region anchor and tighten version-prefix matching

Address PR review:
- The v4 Deploying page linked /worlds/vercel#multi-region, but the
  Multi-region section only exists on the v5 world page; use the
  explicit cross-version /v5/worlds/vercel#multi-region link (this was
  the Docs Links CI failure)
- rewriteHrefForVersion now uses the boundary-checked hasPathPrefix
  (shared leaf module lib/geistdocs/path-prefix.ts, also used by
  source.ts) instead of bare startsWith
- buildVersionUrl's shared-route fast path is segment-based rather than
  substring includes()
