From d6ab748943a6f7c0cc8937fb21d53fc91a36c556 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Whitestone Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 21:56:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix: handle SSE stream registry race condition at timeout boundary MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When stub mode (or very fast work) completes before the SSE client attaches to the stream, streamRegistry.get() returns null because end() was already called. Previously this fell through to a generic timeout error even though the job succeeded. Changes: - Add DB polling fallback (2s interval, 120s max) when stream is null but job state is "executing" — waits for terminal state then replays the result via token+done SSE events - Add unit tests covering the race condition: instant completion before client attach, normal live streaming, and the DB replay fallback path The 90s bus-wait timeout and post-wait DB re-check were already in place.
