…ntry A subflow fault completes the parent correlation and then executes the parent's error-boundary transition while the parent is still Busy (by design, for the subflow's lifetime). Classify treated that entry as Normal, so ReserveAsync rejected the expected Busy parent with Instance:100031 and the fault surfaced as SubflowCompletionException. Classify now maps IsErrorBoundaryTransition to OwnerReentry — the fault callback is the continuation of the very chain that owns the Busy — mirroring the resume path that already enters via IsInternalResume. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reviewer's GuideAdds explicit handling and tests for subflow error-boundary transitions so they are classified as owner reentry and bypass busy-instance rejections, by extending the classification logic and test context factory to support the new flag. File-Level Changes

**question (bug_risk):** Consider whether error-boundary transitions that also qualify as timeouts should keep the timeout admission semantics.
Because this check comes after `IsTimeoutTransition`, any error-boundary transition that is also marked as a timeout will be classified as `BypassBusyCheck` rather than `OwnerReentry`. Given the comment’s focus on subflow error-boundaries resuming under Busy ownership, please confirm that error-boundary transitions can never also be tagged as timeouts. If they can, consider enforcing the intended precedence here (e.g., `IsErrorBoundaryTransition && !IsTimeoutTransition`) or otherwise making the timeout vs. error-boundary priority explicit.

Require Busy ownership for error-boundary re-entry.
A normal transition forwarded to an active subflow does not set OwnsStatus. If a parent shared transition then requests an error-boundary continuation, InlineContinuationStrategy sets IsErrorBoundaryTransition, and OwnerReentry skips Busy reservation. Reserve Busy before this continuation or reject contexts without ownership.

* expose scheduled transitions with persisted UTC execution time (InstanceJob.ExecuteAt) in the state response, folding job-set changes into the fingerprint ETag (shape v6) * fix(timer): interpret Unspecified-kind scheduled DateTimes as UTC in ResolveExecuteAt * drop scheduled-job members from the fingerprint ETag * clean comments * feat(telemetry): propagate workflow correlation context * feat(observability): unify trace tree across async jobs and correlate logs via X-Request-Id Trace side — a client's transition/start request now appears as ONE trace tree in APM (orchestration -> background job -> pipeline -> Execution -> remote task): - BackgroundJobActivityHelper.StartActivityContinuingTrace: immediate jobs (flow.transition, state.notify) re-parent on the payload's TraceParent and attach the Dapr scheduler callback span as an ActivityLink; deferred jobs (timer/timeout/ack) keep the link-only policy so stale traces are not resurrected. - Fix: EnqueueContinuationStrategy now stamps TraceParent/TraceState onto the outbox TransitionContinuationRequested event (direct payload already had them). - TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors) carries CorrelationId/TraceParent/TraceState; RemoteInvokerService populates them and forwards X-Request-Id; ExecutionController restores the trace from the body when transport propagation left no ambient activity (transport wins on mismatch, tagged vnext.trace.mismatch). - Task invokers skip reserved trace headers (traceparent/tracestate/baggage/ x-request-id) from binding definitions; Dapr binding/pub-sub invokers stamp the live W3C context into operation metadata explicitly. - ITraceableDistributedEvent on instance lifecycle events, stamped centrally by HookedDistributedEventBus at publish time; Inbox handlers restore it via EventTraceScope and forward X-Request-Id (DaprOrchestrationForwarder). - Inbox/Outbox workers: tracing enabled with OTLP exporter. - Cross-domain calls (CurrentUserForwardHeadersHelper) stamp X-Root-Instance-Id from baggage and X-Request-Id from the correlation provider. Log side — start -> state/view/schema/data chain is now queryable end to end: - InstanceStarted (EventId 20008) emitted while the start HTTP request is live, closing the X-Request-Id <-> instance-id join without a client-supplied id. - InstanceQueryAppService.BeginInstanceScope: per-request log scope + activity tags (instance id/key, flow, domain) on the read/function path, resolving the route token to the real instance id. - TransitionJobHandler restores the captured x-request-id into ICorrelationIdProvider for the duration of the job. Config: - Remove hardcoded Telemetry:Otlp from appsettings — Aether prefers config over env, so the value silently overrode OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT in containers; env files now point at otel-collector:4318 (http/protobuf). - Explicit Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel=Business in both hosts. - New guide: docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md (APISIX contract, trace-continuation semantics, reserved-header rule). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * fix(telemetry): reconcile correlation.id and request id after PR #879 merge PR #879 (workflow correlation context) and the X-Request-Id correlation work overlapped on one field with two meanings: TaskTraceContext.CorrelationId was populated with the request id but consumed as the business correlation (X-Correlation-Id header, correlation.id tag) — so correlation.id carried the request id on the Execution side while carrying the execution GUID on the orchestration side, and X-Correlation-Id had a different source per hop. Reconciliation — one identity per carrier: - TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors): new RequestId field. CorrelationId is the business correlation only. RemoteInvokerService sends X-Request-Id from RequestId and X-Correlation-Id from CorrelationId; ExecutionController tags correlation.id from CorrelationId and vnext.request.id from RequestId. CreateTraceContext reads the business correlation from correlation.id baggage, falling back to the current trace id. - correlation.id is now CHAIN-STABLE: TransitionExecutor.EnrichTelemetry publishes correlation.id + workflow.instance.id tags and baggage for every pipeline run (sync included — previously async-accept only), and the id is carried across async hops via TransitionJobPayload.CorrelationId and TransitionContinuationRequested.CorrelationId, re-seeded through TransitionInput.CorrelationId so auto-chain job hops stop minting a new correlation per job. - Event contracts: ITraceableDistributedEvent.CorrelationId renamed to RequestId (it carries the X-Request-Id value) across the interface, the ten lifecycle events, the bus stamper, EventTraceScope and inbox handler scopes — removing the naming collision with the business correlation. - Invoker hardening: ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders moved to InvokerHelpers and applied by every HTTP-shaped invoker (http, soap, daprservice, daprhttpendpoint, trigger); the four correlation/identity headers joined the reserved-header guard so task bindings cannot spoof them anywhere. - Fixed a merge artifact in ExecutionController (',AD' token) and a duplicated CorrelationId property in the Execution-side TaskTraceContext. - docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: carriers table rewritten around the four distinct identities and the extended reserved-header contract. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * merge scheduled transitions into the transitions list as kind:"scheduled" entries carrying executeAtUtc — drop the separate scheduledTransitions field * rename transition kind "stateTransition" to "manual" * fix(tracing): stop creating pipeline-step spans in Business mode so children keep their parent In the trace UI, TaskCoordinator.Execute / Task.Execute.* / subflow-subprocess branches and outbound POST client spans appeared at the trace ROOT instead of under transition/{key}. Root cause: pipeline steps created PostSharp [Trace] aspect spans and renamed them to '[{Order}] {Step}', and Aether's Business filter suppresses '['-prefixed spans at OnEnd (export time) — the step Activity still existed and was Activity.Current for the whole step body, so every child span pointed at a parent span id that was never exported and the UI re-rooted the whole subtree. Fix — a span Business mode would drop is now never CREATED in Business mode: - New PipelineStepActivityHelper (ActivitySource "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline"): starts the '[{Order}] {StepName}' step span only when DetailLevel=Verbose, from a single wrap point in TransitionExecutor.ExecuteStepWithBoundaryAsync. In Business mode no step Activity exists, so task, subflow, background-job and HttpClient child spans attach directly to transition/{key}. - Removed the [Trace] aspect and the SetDisplayName("[N] ...") rename from all pipeline steps (the per-step aspect+rename pair is replaced by the central helper). - ActivityExtensions.SetDisplayName: removed the dead step-guard whose comment described a suppression model Aether does not implement (the filter acts at OnEnd, not at creation); documented the creation rule instead. - PostCommitExecutor: each post-commit job now runs under an always-exported 'PostCommit.{JobType}' business span so subflow/subprocess starts have a visible parent in the trace. - AdditionalSources: registered "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline" in both hosts. - docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: documented the creation rule and added the re-rooted-spans troubleshooting entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * feat(tracing): make sub/act_sub fill-if-absent on outbound task calls The identity claims are token-derived defaults, not vNext-owned workflow context: when a developer sets sub/act_sub explicitly in a task binding's input mapping, that value must win; only when the binding does not set them should the platform fill them from the gateway token. - InvokerHelpers: sub/act_sub removed from the reserved-header guard so binding-provided values flow through every remote invoker's header copy; ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders no longer removes them and only adds the baggage values when the header is absent. X-Workflow-Instance-Id and X-Correlation-Id stay authoritative (always overwritten from baggage). - Applies to all HTTP-shaped invokers (http, soap, daprservice, daprhttpendpoint, trigger) via the shared helper. - Tests updated for the new precedence + new fill-from-baggage case; docs describe the fill-if-absent rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * Revert "rename transition kind stateTransition to manual" — clients still rely on the stateTransition kind; the rename is deferred This reverts commit 5e0284d. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(telemetry): upgrade Aether to 1.0.35 and drop the enricher header prefix Aether 1.0.35 makes the log-enricher header key prefix configurable (burgan-tech/aether#92). Set RequestHeaderKeyPrefix to "" in every host so the enriched headers land as bare fields — sub, act_sub, jti, role, x_parent_instance_id, user_agent, x_request_id — instead of RequestHeader.*, which OpenObserve/Elasticsearch surface as requestheader_act_sub once they lowercase the key and flatten the dot. The response prefix keeps its ResponseHeader. default so a header present on both request and response cannot collapse onto a single field. Docs: new "Log enricher field names" section covering the field naming, the backend normalization behind it, and the enricher's inbound-request-only scope. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * refactor(telemetry): drop duplicate sub/act_sub from the Execution log scope With the enricher header prefix removed, the enricher emits the identity claims as bare fields (sub, act_sub). ExecutionController's log scope carried the same two values under sub and act.sub — and act.sub flattens to act_sub in the log backend — so every task-invoke log record ended up with each claim twice, from the same TaskTraceContext source. The enricher is the wider emitter (every log record of the request, not just the invoke block) and RemoteInvokerService forwards the headers on every call, so the scope copy is pure duplication. Removed it; the claims remain span tags and baggage, which are a different signal and unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * Add OTLP config to host appsettings Add an "Otlp" settings block (Endpoint: http://localhost:4318, Protocol: http/protobuf) to appsettings.json for Execution, Orchestration, Monitoring, DbMigrator, Inbox and Outbox hosts. Provides a concrete OTLP endpoint/protocol for the existing EnableOtlpExporter tracing configuration so services can send telemetry to a local OpenTelemetry collector. * feat(telemetry): stamp the originating request id on every log record in every service Answering "I sent X-Request-Id on a transition — is it on all logs?": it was not, and where it appeared it could be wrong. Aether's header enricher reads only the CURRENT inbound request's headers, so it is silent wherever there is no HttpContext (the Outbox worker, background work) — and on requests the platform originates itself (Dapr job callbacks, Dapr pub/sub deliveries) the correlation middleware generates an id from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier and writes it back into the request headers, so the enricher reported a fabricated x_request_id that looked exactly like a real client id. Filtering a dashboard on it silently dropped the async half of every flow. Meanwhile ICorrelationIdProvider — which the platform already populates at every entry point, including our TransitionJobHandler and EventTraceScope restores — was write-only: nothing read it for logging. - New RequestIdLogProcessor (HttpApi.Shared) stamps vnext.request.id from ICorrelationIdProvider onto every log record, with no HttpContext dependency and without duplicating a value a scope or log parameter already supplied. Registered once in the shared AddTelemetry via Aether's ConfigureLogging seam, so it covers orchestration, execution, monitoring, inbox, outbox and migrator. - StateNotifyJobHandler now restores the captured request id into the provider (it read the header but never applied it). - Removed X-Request-Id from Enrichers:Headers in all hosts, so the fabricated x_request_id field disappears and vnext_request_id is the single source. This also removes the stray ResponseHeader.x_request_id field. - Removed the now-duplicate vnext.request.id entries from the job/execution/inbox log scopes; the provider Change() calls stay as the processor's source. - Docs: "Querying one request across all services" — the per-entry-point source table, the two deliberate exceptions (system-triggered jobs, Outbox publish loop) and why X-Request-Id must not be an enricher header. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * refactor(telemetry): name the request-id log field x_request_id The global request-id field was vnext.request.id, queried as vnext_request_id after the backend flattens the dots. The platform's own jargon for this value is X-Request-Id, so the field is renamed to its normalized header form: x_request_id. It deliberately carries no dot, so backends that flatten dotted keys (OpenObserve, Elasticsearch) leave it alone and the queried name is the same everywhere. One constant drives the log attribute, the Execution span tag and the tests, so logs and traces keep a single name for the value. Because the key is now identical to what Aether's header enricher would produce for X-Request-Id, the existing "never list that header in Telemetry:Logging:Enrichers:Headers" rule stops being cosmetic: the enricher runs first and would suppress the correct value with the one it fabricates from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier on Dapr callbacks. Documented at the constant, in the processor and in the monitoring guide, and pinned by a test so a future rename has to be deliberate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * feat(telemetry): filter traces by the same x_request_id as the logs Logs already carried x_request_id on every record; spans carried it in a single place (the Execution invoke span), and Aether's tracing header enrichment would only ever produce it under a second, dash-bearing name (http.request.header.x-request-id) on server spans that actually received the header. RequestIdSpanProcessor stamps the tag in OnStart for every span opened inside a correlation scope, which covers all three entry points — HTTP, transition/state-notify jobs and Inbox events. The ASP.NET Core server span is out of its reach (instrumentation opens it before UseCorrelationId(), so the AsyncLocal is still empty), so ParentInstanceIdEnrichmentMiddleware tags that one; it already runs right after the correlation middleware and already writes to Activity.Current. Both read ICorrelationIdProvider rather than the raw header, keeping one source for the field, and neither overwrites an existing tag. X-Request-Id is dropped from Telemetry:Tracing:Headers in the four hosts that listed it, so the concept has one name in a trace. The log-side trap does not apply to that enrichment — it runs in OnStartActivity, before the middleware can fabricate an id — this is purely about a duplicate name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * ci: publish NuGet packages via trusted publishing instead of an API key nuget.org's trusted publishing policy for this repository is configured, and the long-lived key behind secrets.NUGET_API_KEY is gone — the push step was depending on a secret that no longer works. NuGet/login exchanges the job's OIDC token for an API key valid for one hour, so the job needs id-token: write. The login step sits directly before the push rather than at the top of the job: the restore and five pack steps are slow under PostSharp, and the docs ask for the key to be requested shortly before publishing. The push source is unchanged — the returned value is an ordinary nuget.org key and resolves through the v3 service index as before. The username comes from the NUGET_USER repository variable, guarded by an explicit check because an undefined variable is silently the empty string and would otherwise surface as an opaque token-exchange failure. This leaves publish-npm and publish-nuget both on OIDC, with no publishing secret left in the workflow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * fix(transitions): reserve the subflow chain at accept, with one lock — and scope the $self profile to updateData (#884) * ci: let a failed release be completed instead of skipped (#886) The v0.0.80 release shipped images and a GitHub release but no NuGet packages, and could not be repaired. Four separate reasons, all fixed here. NUGET_USER is a repository SECRET, not a variable, so `vars.NUGET_USER` was the empty string and publish-nuget failed its own configuration guard. The guard now reads the secret through env rather than inlining the expression, so the value stays masked and cannot be interpolated into the script. Re-running the failed job could not fix it either: a re-run uses the workflow file from the original commit, so it never sees the fix. And a fresh run could not target 0.0.80 at all, because the stable path walks to the first UNUSED patch version — it would have produced 0.0.81 and left 0.0.80's packages permanently missing, with images and packages on different versions. workflow_dispatch now honours the `version` input on the stable path, pinning the version instead of walking; re-publishing over a shipped tag is intentional but never implicit and requires force_publish=true. The push path is untouched and still walks. `npm publish` fails hard on an already-published version and has no equivalent of `dotnet nuget push --skip-duplicate`, so the re-publish run that completed 0.0.80's NuGet packages went red on npm even though the package was already there and nothing was missing. The version is now checked against the registry first and the publish step is skipped rather than failed. Finally, the release summary linked BBT.Workflow.Modules.Scripting, which is the project name; the project packs as BBT.Workflow.Scripting, so that link was dead in every release summary. Verified by simulating the version-calculation and npm-existence scripts locally: dispatch with version+force resolves 0.0.80, dispatch without force refuses, a branch push still resolves the next free patch, and the npm check skips 0.0.80 while publishing an unpublished version. The NUGET_USER and version-pinning halves are already proven in practice — run 32025105316 published all five 0.0.80 packages with them. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree in Elastic APM (#887) * build(docker): run Elastic APM alongside OpenObserve and load the Dapr tracing config Production renders traces in Elastic APM, and Elastic and OpenObserve do not draw the same waterfall from the same data: Elastic resolves nesting strictly through parent.id and re-parents a span whose parent document is absent to the trace root, while OpenObserve groups by trace id and keeps drawing it in place. A trace verified only in OpenObserve therefore says nothing about production. Adds elasticsearch, kibana and apm-server to the three compose files that already run OpenObserve, and fans the collector's traces, metrics and logs out to both backends so the two renderings can be compared on one request. APM Server takes OTLP natively on 8200; it is published on 8201 because Vault already owns 8200 on the host. Security is off and there is no secret token — local only. The sidecars were the missing half. Every etc/*/dapr/config.yaml already sets samplingRate 1 and an OTLP endpoint, but daprd only reads it when started with --config, which no compose file passed. The sidecars were creating and propagating span ids for service invocation while exporting none of them, so the Execution transaction's parent was a span no backend ever saw — exactly the shape that makes Elastic re-root the Execution subtree. All sidecars now mount their Configuration and load it. Two adjacent fixes this uncovered: the monitoring sidecar in docker-compose.yml mounted etc/workers/monitoring/dapr, which does not exist (dev and stage both use etc/monitoring/dapr), so Docker created an empty directory and it ran with no components; and containerised apps needed Telemetry__Otlp__Endpoint rather than OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, since Aether treats configuration as stronger than the environment and appsettings pins localhost:4318 — correct for the host-run flow, a black hole inside a container. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree A transition renders as one tree in Kibana only if every span between the entry point and the remote call is actually exported. Three links were missing, each producing the same shape: a span whose parent id was propagated but whose parent document no backend ever received. Elastic APM re-parents such a span to the trace root, so the whole Execution subtree — including the outbound task request — disappeared from under `Dapr invoke vnext-execution-app`. Measured on one transition: 9 orphans of 45 spans before, 0 after. Dapr sidecars: the tracing block was authored under `otlp:`, a key Dapr's TracingSpec does not have, so it was silently ignored — the sampler still initialized and the sidecar still created and propagated span ids while exporting none of them. 7edda30 passed --config, which was necessary but not sufficient. The field is `otel`, and `protocol` and `isSecure` are required rather than optional: Dapr builds no exporter without an explicit protocol, and isSecure defaults to TLS, which a plaintext collector refuses. Each was isolated by a span-arrival test — any one missing yields zero sidecar spans. All six configs corrected. gRPC client spans: no gRPC instrumentation was registered anywhere (Aether wires up AspNetCore and HttpClient only), yet Grpc.Net.Client — which every Dapr.Client call goes through — creates its activity regardless, and the System.Net.Http span nests under it. The discriminator was exact: every HTTP/2 client span in a trace was orphaned, every HTTP/1.1 one correctly parented. Registering OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.GrpcNetClient exports the parent; the single AddTelemetry feeds all five hosts. State-store and lock sidecar spans: enabling sidecar export surfaced 55 pre-existing holes, all state-store or lock calls (GetState x47, TryLock/Unlock, SaveState). Here the app's gRPC span is exported and correctly nested, but the HttpClient activity below it puts its id on the wire without being exported and the sidecar parents onto that. The collector now drops the sidecar's duplicate, which carries only its own internal handling time and cost ~50 detached spans per transition. Scoped by instrumentation scope, not by name — the app-side span carries the same `…/GetState` suffix and must survive. CallLocal/* is untouched: those are the spans that reconnect Orchestration to Execution. None of the 55 had children, so dropping them orphans nothing. The underlying HttpClient hole is not fixed and the filter is marked to be removed when it is: the client-construction path for Aether's distributed cache and lock differs from Dapr.Jobs/DaprClient in a way this change does not explain. Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel stays Business throughout.

The crash needs three conditions at once: compilation is check-then-act with no GetOrAdd, a declared helper set makes the load context shared and long-lived, and DurablePostCommit processes every subflow completion twice. Helpers landed in v0.0.60, which is what turned a previously harmless race into a crash — the evaluator source is unchanged since. Design: Lazy<T> + GetOrAdd with faulted-entry eviction (mirroring ScriptHelperRegistry), idempotent assembly load so a partial failure cannot permanently poison a shared context, and an explicit cacheScope so the cache key distinguishes helper sets instead of relying on a null Display. Output-mapping double-apply is called out as a non-goal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subflow): correct the race's cause and add output-mapping failure classification Two corrections to the design after reading the SubFlow terminal services. The concurrency source is not the duplicate DurablePostCommit delivery: the per-(parent, subInstance) lock serializes duplicates, and correlation completion and output mapping already share one transaction, so the mapping cannot be applied twice. Parallel *distinct* completions of the same flow are what compile the same mapping concurrently. That leaves the real damage, now specified as 5.4: SubflowCompletionService treats every failed output mapping as permanent and faults the parent, so a transient infrastructure fault terminates a healthy instance with nothing to retry it. ApplyAsync now classifies transient vs permanent and rethrows the transient case so the transaction rolls back and the delivery is redelivered. The superseded reading is kept in the decisions log so it is not repeated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(scripting): close three soundness gaps in the fix design Assembly names now carry the full cache key instead of a 16-character prefix. The idempotent-load rule reuses an assembly by simple name, which is only exact if the name identifies the compilation uniquely; 64 bits made it probabilistic, and widening it costs nothing but stack-trace length. Records the registry invariant that cacheScope depends on: a healthy HelperSet is never evicted, so a cached Type cannot outlive its load context. A future TTL or hot-reload policy would break this silently, so it is documented on both HelperSet.Key and the registry's Evict. Makes the transient classification an explicit allowlist — an unrecognised exception stays permanent. Treating the unknown as transient would turn a genuine mapping bug into an indefinitely redelivered poison message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(scripting): implementation plan for the compile race and failure classification Five independently committable tasks, each TDD-driven with the actual test and implementation code: atomic compilation, idempotent assembly load, cache scope, the transient/permanent classifier, and the caller comments. Also narrows the spec's transient list to the CLR-level faults actually being classified. Recognising transient data-access failures needs provider-specific inspection and no evidence it occurs on this path, so it is left as a future allowlist entry rather than widening this change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key CompileToInstanceAsync was check-then-act: TryGetValue miss -> Roslyn emit -> LoadFromStream -> TryAdd. Concurrent callers with the same cache key both compiled, producing two assemblies with the identical simple name (derived from the cache key), which a shared AssemblyLoadContext cannot hold -> FileLoadException under load. Mirror the GetOrAdd + Lazy<T> pattern already used by ScriptHelperRegistry: one compile per cache key, faulted entries evicted via TryRemove(KeyValuePair) so a transient failure isn't replayed forever by this singleton. Compile runs under CancellationToken.None since the result is shared by every waiter. Also name the assembly after the whole cache key instead of a 16-char prefix, so reuse-by-name is exact rather than probabilistic. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(scripting): address Task 1 review feedback - Give the concurrency test an actual rendezvous (Barrier(8) + ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(16,16)) instead of relying on Task.Run to happen to dispatch all 8 callers before the compile finishes; without it the test could go green on a starved pool without ever racing. - Fix cancellation docs (IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync, ScriptEngine.CompileToInstanceAsync) to match the new behaviour: the token gates entry only and cannot cancel a compile once it is shared by other waiters. - Add a TryGetValue+IsValueCreated fast path before GetOrAdd so the capturing closure isn't allocated on every cache hit, mirroring ScriptHelperRegistry.GetOrBuildHelpers. - Move the CompiledScript record struct to the bottom of the class and drop the now-unused System.Reflection using. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripting): reuse an already-loaded script assembly instead of reloading it * test(scripting): guard the eviction-and-retry recovery path * fix(scripting): key the script cache by load context, not just by source Two different helper sets that export the same namespaces previously shared one CSharpEvaluator cache entry for identical mapping source, because the helper reference's MetadataReference.Display is null for in-memory images and contributed nothing to GenerateCacheKey. A second flow could silently execute the first flow's helper implementations with no exception. Thread an explicit cacheScope (the helper set's content-hash Key) through IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync/InvalidateScript and ScriptEngine's CompileCoreAsync so the load context is folded into the cache key. * test(scripting): guard the helper-set cache-scope wiring The prior test only proved GenerateCacheKey honours a scope string; it did not cover the actual bug, which was in ScriptEngine failing to pass one. Deleting helperSet.Key from the CompileCoreAsync call site left every test green. Add a regression test that drives the real wiring (ScriptEngine -> IScriptHelperRegistry -> IEvaluator): two helper sets export the same namespace/type but return different values, and the same mapping source is compiled against each through ScriptEngine. Verified it fails (second result wrongly "A") with helperSet.Key removed, and passes with it restored. Also add the missing negative case (two scope-less compiles still share one cache entry), drop the pointless default on CompileCoreAsync's cacheScope parameter, and treat an empty cacheScope the same as an absent one in GenerateCacheKey. * refactor(scripting): derive the cache scope from the load context The explicit cacheScope string added in the previous commit let the scope and the AssemblyLoadContext disagree — nothing enforced that a caller passing loadContext also passed the matching scope, and an existing test (Mapping_Can_Call_Referenced_Helper style call) already did exactly that. CSharpEvaluator now derives the scope internally: a private ConditionalWeakTable<AssemblyLoadContext, string> hands each context a stable id on first use (Interlocked.Increment), keyed weakly so the table is never what keeps a context alive. A null loadContext still yields a null scope, so the no-helper path's keys are unchanged. This removes the cacheScope parameter from IEvaluator (a NuGet-published contract) entirely, reverts ScriptEngine.CompileCoreAsync and its call sites to their pre-Task-3 shape, and removes HelperSet.Key along with the invariant it required — a superseded helper set now gets a new context and therefore a new scope automatically, with nothing to document or maintain. GenerateCacheKey keeps its private cacheScope parameter; only the public surface changed. * docs(scripting): fix two XML doc references on the cache-scope derivation A paramref on a field and an unresolvable CreateFromImage overload cref. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(scripting): mark the plan's Task 3 steps as superseded The shipped design derives the cache scope from the load context; the explicit-cacheScope steps are kept as the record of what was tried. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(scripting): correct the cache-scope retention comment and isolate its test The LoadContextScopes doc claimed a superseded context's cache entries are "stranded" and the context collected. That is wrong: _typeCache holds CompiledScript.Context strongly for the singleton's lifetime, so a superseded helper context and every assembly loaded into it are retained for the process lifetime instead. Corrected the comment to say so, and noted _typeCache as what pins it. Also: removed a comment at GenerateCacheKey's |alc: append that duplicated CompileToInstanceAsync's, trimmed the CreateFromImage/null-Display root cause to its one home (GetCacheScope's doc) instead of three, collapsed the scope id format to alc{id} (dropping the unobserved Name-based diagnostic claim, keeping the load-bearing incrementing id), and added a note on GetCacheScope explaining why ConditionalWeakTable's factory re-entrancy is expected and must not be "fixed" into TryGetValue + Add. Moved ScriptEngine_Compiles_Same_Mapping_Against_Different_Helper_Sets_ Without_Cross_Contamination, IHelperValueMapping, and BuildHelperMapping out of SandboxedScriptingTests.cs (whose doc says its tests run without a DI container) into a new ScriptEngineHelperSetIsolationTests.cs. * fix(subflow): stop a transient output-mapping fault from faulting the parent * test(subflow): cover the transient rethrow in the mapping and fault paths * fix(subflow): classify load failures surfaced through ReflectionTypeLoadException * docs(subflow): record that a failed mapping Result now means permanent Both call sites still claimed retrying could never succeed. Transient faults are rethrown by OutputMappingFailureClassifier and never reach either branch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(subflow): treat only our own cancellation as transient; drop dead evaluator cache APIs * docs(subflow): record why cancellation is not classified transient A downstream Dapr timeout arrives as TaskCanceledException. Treating it as transient meant redelivering forever with no dead-letter, leaving the parent Busy and silent where it used to fault visibly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripting): recover duplicate assembly loads at source --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix (#890) * H/fix concurent busy (#892) * fix * fix(admission): admit subflow error-boundary transitions as owner reentry A subflow fault completes the parent correlation and then executes the parent's error-boundary transition while the parent is still Busy (by design, for the subflow's lifetime). Classify treated that entry as Normal, so ReserveAsync rejected the expected Busy parent with Instance:100031 and the fault surfaced as SubflowCompletionException. Classify now maps IsErrorBoundaryTransition to OwnerReentry — the fault callback is the continuation of the very chain that owns the Busy — mirroring the resume path that already enters via IsInternalResume.

Log side — start -> state/view/schema/data chain is now queryable end to end: - InstanceStarted (EventId 20008) emitted while the start HTTP request is live, closing the X-Request-Id <-> instance-id join without a client-supplied id. - InstanceQueryAppService.BeginInstanceScope: per-request log scope + activity tags (instance id/key, flow, domain) on the read/function path, resolving the route token to the real instance id. - TransitionJobHandler restores the captured x-request-id into ICorrelationIdProvider for the duration of the job. Config: - Remove hardcoded Telemetry:Otlp from appsettings — Aether prefers config over env, so the value silently overrode OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT in containers; env files now point at otel-collector:4318 (http/protobuf). - Explicit Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel=Business in both hosts. - New guide: docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md (APISIX contract, trace-continuation semantics, reserved-header rule). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * fix(telemetry): reconcile correlation.id and request id after PR #879 merge PR #879 (workflow correlation context) and the X-Request-Id correlation work overlapped on one field with two meanings: TaskTraceContext.CorrelationId was populated with the request id but consumed as the business correlation (X-Correlation-Id header, correlation.id tag) — so correlation.id carried the request id on the Execution side while carrying the execution GUID on the orchestration side, and X-Correlation-Id had a different source per hop. Reconciliation — one identity per carrier: - TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors): new RequestId field. CorrelationId is the business correlation only. RemoteInvokerService sends X-Request-Id from RequestId and X-Correlation-Id from CorrelationId; ExecutionController tags correlation.id from CorrelationId and vnext.request.id from RequestId. CreateTraceContext reads the business correlation from correlation.id baggage, falling back to the current trace id. - correlation.id is now CHAIN-STABLE: TransitionExecutor.EnrichTelemetry publishes correlation.id + workflow.instance.id tags and baggage for every pipeline run (sync included — previously async-accept only), and the id is carried across async hops via TransitionJobPayload.CorrelationId and TransitionContinuationRequested.CorrelationId, re-seeded through TransitionInput.CorrelationId so auto-chain job hops stop minting a new correlation per job. - Event contracts: ITraceableDistributedEvent.CorrelationId renamed to RequestId (it carries the X-Request-Id value) across the interface, the ten lifecycle events, the bus stamper, EventTraceScope and inbox handler scopes — removing the naming collision with the business correlation. - Invoker hardening: ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders moved to InvokerHelpers and applied by every HTTP-shaped invoker (http, soap, daprservice, daprhttpendpoint, trigger); the four correlation/identity headers joined the reserved-header guard so task bindings cannot spoof them anywhere. - Fixed a merge artifact in ExecutionController (',AD' token) and a duplicated CorrelationId property in the Execution-side TaskTraceContext. - docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: carriers table rewritten around the four distinct identities and the extended reserved-header contract. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * merge scheduled transitions into the transitions list as kind:"scheduled" entries carrying executeAtUtc — drop the separate scheduledTransitions field * rename transition kind "stateTransition" to "manual" * fix(tracing): stop creating pipeline-step spans in Business mode so children keep their parent In the trace UI, TaskCoordinator.Execute / Task.Execute.* / subflow-subprocess branches and outbound POST client spans appeared at the trace ROOT instead of under transition/{key}. Root cause: pipeline steps created PostSharp [Trace] aspect spans and renamed them to '[{Order}] {Step}', and Aether's Business filter suppresses '['-prefixed spans at OnEnd (export time) — the step Activity still existed and was Activity.Current for the whole step body, so every child span pointed at a parent span id that was never exported and the UI re-rooted the whole subtree. Fix — a span Business mode would drop is now never CREATED in Business mode: - New PipelineStepActivityHelper (ActivitySource "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline"): starts the '[{Order}] {StepName}' step span only when DetailLevel=Verbose, from a single wrap point in TransitionExecutor.ExecuteStepWithBoundaryAsync. In Business mode no step Activity exists, so task, subflow, background-job and HttpClient child spans attach directly to transition/{key}. - Removed the [Trace] aspect and the SetDisplayName("[N] ...") rename from all pipeline steps (the per-step aspect+rename pair is replaced by the central helper). - ActivityExtensions.SetDisplayName: removed the dead step-guard whose comment described a suppression model Aether does not implement (the filter acts at OnEnd, not at creation); documented the creation rule instead. - PostCommitExecutor: each post-commit job now runs under an always-exported 'PostCommit.{JobType}' business span so subflow/subprocess starts have a visible parent in the trace. - AdditionalSources: registered "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline" in both hosts. - docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: documented the creation rule and added the re-rooted-spans troubleshooting entry.

X-Workflow-Instance-Id and X-Correlation-Id stay authoritative (always overwritten from baggage). - Applies to all HTTP-shaped invokers (http, soap, daprservice, daprhttpendpoint, trigger) via the shared helper. - Tests updated for the new precedence + new fill-from-baggage case; docs describe the fill-if-absent rule.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(telemetry): upgrade Aether to 1.0.35 and drop the enricher header prefix Aether 1.0.35 makes the log-enricher header key prefix configurable (burgan-tech/aether#92). Set RequestHeaderKeyPrefix to "" in every host so the enriched headers land as bare fields — sub, act_sub, jti, role, x_parent_instance_id, user_agent, x_request_id — instead of RequestHeader.*, which OpenObserve/Elasticsearch surface as requestheader_act_sub once they lowercase the key and flatten the dot. The response prefix keeps its ResponseHeader. default so a header present on both request and response cannot collapse onto a single field. Docs: new "Log enricher field names" section covering the field naming, the backend normalization behind it, and the enricher's inbound-request-only scope. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * refactor(telemetry): drop duplicate sub/act_sub from the Execution log scope With the enricher header prefix removed, the enricher emits the identity claims as bare fields (sub, act_sub). ExecutionController's log scope carried the same two values under sub and act.sub — and act.sub flattens to act_sub in the log backend — so every task-invoke log record ended up with each claim twice, from the same TaskTraceContext source. The enricher is the wider emitter (every log record of the request, not just the invoke block) and RemoteInvokerService forwards the headers on every call, so the scope copy is pure duplication. Removed it; the claims remain span tags and baggage, which are a different signal and unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * Add OTLP config to host appsettings Add an "Otlp" settings block (Endpoint: http://localhost:4318, Protocol: http/protobuf) to appsettings.json for Execution, Orchestration, Monitoring, DbMigrator, Inbox and Outbox hosts. Provides a concrete OTLP endpoint/protocol for the existing EnableOtlpExporter tracing configuration so services can send telemetry to a local OpenTelemetry collector. * feat(telemetry): stamp the originating request id on every log record in every service Answering "I sent X-Request-Id on a transition — is it on all logs?": it was not, and where it appeared it could be wrong. Aether's header enricher reads only the CURRENT inbound request's headers, so it is silent wherever there is no HttpContext (the Outbox worker, background work) — and on requests the platform originates itself (Dapr job callbacks, Dapr pub/sub deliveries) the correlation middleware generates an id from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier and writes it back into the request headers, so the enricher reported a fabricated x_request_id that looked exactly like a real client id. Filtering a dashboard on it silently dropped the async half of every flow. Meanwhile ICorrelationIdProvider — which the platform already populates at every entry point, including our TransitionJobHandler and EventTraceScope restores — was write-only: nothing read it for logging. - New RequestIdLogProcessor (HttpApi.Shared) stamps vnext.request.id from ICorrelationIdProvider onto every log record, with no HttpContext dependency and without duplicating a value a scope or log parameter already supplied. Registered once in the shared AddTelemetry via Aether's ConfigureLogging seam, so it covers orchestration, execution, monitoring, inbox, outbox and migrator. - StateNotifyJobHandler now restores the captured request id into the provider (it read the header but never applied it). - Removed X-Request-Id from Enrichers:Headers in all hosts, so the fabricated x_request_id field disappears and vnext_request_id is the single source. This also removes the stray ResponseHeader.x_request_id field. - Removed the now-duplicate vnext.request.id entries from the job/execution/inbox log scopes; the provider Change() calls stay as the processor's source. - Docs: "Querying one request across all services" — the per-entry-point source table, the two deliberate exceptions (system-triggered jobs, Outbox publish loop) and why X-Request-Id must not be an enricher header. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * refactor(telemetry): name the request-id log field x_request_id The global request-id field was vnext.request.id, queried as vnext_request_id after the backend flattens the dots. The platform's own jargon for this value is X-Request-Id, so the field is renamed to its normalized header form: x_request_id. It deliberately carries no dot, so backends that flatten dotted keys (OpenObserve, Elasticsearch) leave it alone and the queried name is the same everywhere. One constant drives the log attribute, the Execution span tag and the tests, so logs and traces keep a single name for the value. Because the key is now identical to what Aether's header enricher would produce for X-Request-Id, the existing "never list that header in Telemetry:Logging:Enrichers:Headers" rule stops being cosmetic: the enricher runs first and would suppress the correct value with the one it fabricates from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier on Dapr callbacks. Documented at the constant, in the processor and in the monitoring guide, and pinned by a test so a future rename has to be deliberate.

RequestIdSpanProcessor stamps the tag in OnStart for every span opened inside a correlation scope, which covers all three entry points — HTTP, transition/state-notify jobs and Inbox events. The ASP.NET Core server span is out of its reach (instrumentation opens it before UseCorrelationId(), so the AsyncLocal is still empty), so ParentInstanceIdEnrichmentMiddleware tags that one; it already runs right after the correlation middleware and already writes to Activity.Current. Both read ICorrelationIdProvider rather than the raw header, keeping one source for the field, and neither overwrites an existing tag. X-Request-Id is dropped from Telemetry:Tracing:Headers in the four hosts that listed it, so the concept has one name in a trace. The log-side trap does not apply to that enrichment — it runs in OnStartActivity, before the middleware can fabricate an id — this is purely about a duplicate name.

NuGet/login exchanges the job's OIDC token for an API key valid for one hour, so the job needs id-token: write. The login step sits directly before the push rather than at the top of the job: the restore and five pack steps are slow under PostSharp, and the docs ask for the key to be requested shortly before publishing. The push source is unchanged — the returned value is an ordinary nuget.org key and resolves through the v3 service index as before. The username comes from the NUGET_USER repository variable, guarded by an explicit check because an undefined variable is silently the empty string and would otherwise surface as an opaque token-exchange failure. This leaves publish-npm and publish-nuget both on OIDC, with no publishing secret left in the workflow.

Four separate reasons, all fixed here. NUGET_USER is a repository SECRET, not a variable, so `vars.NUGET_USER` was the empty string and publish-nuget failed its own configuration guard. The guard now reads the secret through env rather than inlining the expression, so the value stays masked and cannot be interpolated into the script. Re-running the failed job could not fix it either: a re-run uses the workflow file from the original commit, so it never sees the fix. And a fresh run could not target 0.0.80 at all, because the stable path walks to the first UNUSED patch version — it would have produced 0.0.81 and left 0.0.80's packages permanently missing, with images and packages on different versions. workflow_dispatch now honours the `version` input on the stable path, pinning the version instead of walking; re-publishing over a shipped tag is intentional but never implicit and requires force_publish=true. The push path is untouched and still walks. `npm publish` fails hard on an already-published version and has no equivalent of `dotnet nuget push --skip-duplicate`, so the re-publish run that completed 0.0.80's NuGet packages went red on npm even though the package was already there and nothing was missing. The version is now checked against the registry first and the publish step is skipped rather than failed. Finally, the release summary linked BBT.Workflow.Modules.Scripting, which is the project name; the project packs as BBT.Workflow.Scripting, so that link was dead in every release summary. Verified by simulating the version-calculation and npm-existence scripts locally: dispatch with version+force resolves 0.0.80, dispatch without force refuses, a branch push still resolves the next free patch, and the npm check skips 0.0.80 while publishing an unpublished version. The NUGET_USER and version-pinning halves are already proven in practice — run 32025105316 published all five 0.0.80 packages with them. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree in Elastic APM (#887) * build(docker): run Elastic APM alongside OpenObserve and load the Dapr tracing config Production renders traces in Elastic APM, and Elastic and OpenObserve do not draw the same waterfall from the same data: Elastic resolves nesting strictly through parent.id and re-parents a span whose parent document is absent to the trace root, while OpenObserve groups by trace id and keeps drawing it in place. A trace verified only in OpenObserve therefore says nothing about production. Adds elasticsearch, kibana and apm-server to the three compose files that already run OpenObserve, and fans the collector's traces, metrics and logs out to both backends so the two renderings can be compared on one request. APM Server takes OTLP natively on 8200; it is published on 8201 because Vault already owns 8200 on the host. Security is off and there is no secret token — local only. The sidecars were the missing half. Every etc/*/dapr/config.yaml already sets samplingRate 1 and an OTLP endpoint, but daprd only reads it when started with --config, which no compose file passed. The sidecars were creating and propagating span ids for service invocation while exporting none of them, so the Execution transaction's parent was a span no backend ever saw — exactly the shape that makes Elastic re-root the Execution subtree. All sidecars now mount their Configuration and load it. Two adjacent fixes this uncovered: the monitoring sidecar in docker-compose.yml mounted etc/workers/monitoring/dapr, which does not exist (dev and stage both use etc/monitoring/dapr), so Docker created an empty directory and it ran with no components; and containerised apps needed Telemetry__Otlp__Endpoint rather than OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, since Aether treats configuration as stronger than the environment and appsettings pins localhost:4318 — correct for the host-run flow, a black hole inside a container. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JEhpuhoutHd7Bk15HJiHEm * fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree A transition renders as one tree in Kibana only if every span between the entry point and the remote call is actually exported. Three links were missing, each producing the same shape: a span whose parent id was propagated but whose parent document no backend ever received. Elastic APM re-parents such a span to the trace root, so the whole Execution subtree — including the outbound task request — disappeared from under `Dapr invoke vnext-execution-app`. Measured on one transition: 9 orphans of 45 spans before, 0 after. Dapr sidecars: the tracing block was authored under `otlp:`, a key Dapr's TracingSpec does not have, so it was silently ignored — the sampler still initialized and the sidecar still created and propagated span ids while exporting none of them. 7edda30 passed --config, which was necessary but not sufficient. The field is `otel`, and `protocol` and `isSecure` are required rather than optional: Dapr builds no exporter without an explicit protocol, and isSecure defaults to TLS, which a plaintext collector refuses. Each was isolated by a span-arrival test — any one missing yields zero sidecar spans. All six configs corrected. gRPC client spans: no gRPC instrumentation was registered anywhere (Aether wires up AspNetCore and HttpClient only), yet Grpc.Net.Client — which every Dapr.Client call goes through — creates its activity regardless, and the System.Net.Http span nests under it. The discriminator was exact: every HTTP/2 client span in a trace was orphaned, every HTTP/1.1 one correctly parented. Registering OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.GrpcNetClient exports the parent; the single AddTelemetry feeds all five hosts. State-store and lock sidecar spans: enabling sidecar export surfaced 55 pre-existing holes, all state-store or lock calls (GetState x47, TryLock/Unlock, SaveState). Here the app's gRPC span is exported and correctly nested, but the HttpClient activity below it puts its id on the wire without being exported and the sidecar parents onto that. The collector now drops the sidecar's duplicate, which carries only its own internal handling time and cost ~50 detached spans per transition. Scoped by instrumentation scope, not by name — the app-side span carries the same `…/GetState` suffix and must survive. CallLocal/* is untouched: those are the spans that reconnect Orchestration to Execution. None of the 55 had children, so dropping them orphans nothing. The underlying HttpClient hole is not fixed and the filter is marked to be removed when it is: the client-construction path for Aether's distributed cache and lock differs from Dapr.Jobs/DaprClient in a way this change does not explain. Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel stays Business throughout.

The crash needs three conditions at once: compilation is check-then-act with no GetOrAdd, a declared helper set makes the load context shared and long-lived, and DurablePostCommit processes every subflow completion twice. Helpers landed in v0.0.60, which is what turned a previously harmless race into a crash — the evaluator source is unchanged since. Design: Lazy<T> + GetOrAdd with faulted-entry eviction (mirroring ScriptHelperRegistry), idempotent assembly load so a partial failure cannot permanently poison a shared context, and an explicit cacheScope so the cache key distinguishes helper sets instead of relying on a null Display. Output-mapping double-apply is called out as a non-goal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subflow): correct the race's cause and add output-mapping failure classification Two corrections to the design after reading the SubFlow terminal services. The concurrency source is not the duplicate DurablePostCommit delivery: the per-(parent, subInstance) lock serializes duplicates, and correlation completion and output mapping already share one transaction, so the mapping cannot be applied twice. Parallel *distinct* completions of the same flow are what compile the same mapping concurrently. That leaves the real damage, now specified as 5.4: SubflowCompletionService treats every failed output mapping as permanent and faults the parent, so a transient infrastructure fault terminates a healthy instance with nothing to retry it. ApplyAsync now classifies transient vs permanent and rethrows the transient case so the transaction rolls back and the delivery is redelivered. The superseded reading is kept in the decisions log so it is not repeated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(scripting): close three soundness gaps in the fix design Assembly names now carry the full cache key instead of a 16-character prefix. The idempotent-load rule reuses an assembly by simple name, which is only exact if the name identifies the compilation uniquely; 64 bits made it probabilistic, and widening it costs nothing but stack-trace length. Records the registry invariant that cacheScope depends on: a healthy HelperSet is never evicted, so a cached Type cannot outlive its load context. A future TTL or hot-reload policy would break this silently, so it is documented on both HelperSet.Key and the registry's Evict. Makes the transient classification an explicit allowlist — an unrecognised exception stays permanent. Treating the unknown as transient would turn a genuine mapping bug into an indefinitely redelivered poison message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(scripting): implementation plan for the compile race and failure classification Five independently committable tasks, each TDD-driven with the actual test and implementation code: atomic compilation, idempotent assembly load, cache scope, the transient/permanent classifier, and the caller comments. Also narrows the spec's transient list to the CLR-level faults actually being classified. Recognising transient data-access failures needs provider-specific inspection and no evidence it occurs on this path, so it is left as a future allowlist entry rather than widening this change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key CompileToInstanceAsync was check-then-act: TryGetValue miss -> Roslyn emit -> LoadFromStream -> TryAdd. Concurrent callers with the same cache key both compiled, producing two assemblies with the identical simple name (derived from the cache key), which a shared AssemblyLoadContext cannot hold -> FileLoadException under load. Mirror the GetOrAdd + Lazy<T> pattern already used by ScriptHelperRegistry: one compile per cache key, faulted entries evicted via TryRemove(KeyValuePair) so a transient failure isn't replayed forever by this singleton. Compile runs under CancellationToken.None since the result is shared by every waiter. Also name the assembly after the whole cache key instead of a 16-char prefix, so reuse-by-name is exact rather than probabilistic. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(scripting): address Task 1 review feedback - Give the concurrency test an actual rendezvous (Barrier(8) + ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(16,16)) instead of relying on Task.Run to happen to dispatch all 8 callers before the compile finishes; without it the test could go green on a starved pool without ever racing. - Fix cancellation docs (IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync, ScriptEngine.CompileToInstanceAsync) to match the new behaviour: the token gates entry only and cannot cancel a compile once it is shared by other waiters. - Add a TryGetValue+IsValueCreated fast path before GetOrAdd so the capturing closure isn't allocated on every cache hit, mirroring ScriptHelperRegistry.GetOrBuildHelpers. - Move the CompiledScript record struct to the bottom of the class and drop the now-unused System.Reflection using. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripting): reuse an already-loaded script assembly instead of reloading it * test(scripting): guard the eviction-and-retry recovery path * fix(scripting): key the script cache by load context, not just by source Two different helper sets that export the same namespaces previously shared one CSharpEvaluator cache entry for identical mapping source, because the helper reference's MetadataReference.Display is null for in-memory images and contributed nothing to GenerateCacheKey. A second flow could silently execute the first flow's helper implementations with no exception. Thread an explicit cacheScope (the helper set's content-hash Key) through IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync/InvalidateScript and ScriptEngine's CompileCoreAsync so the load context is folded into the cache key. * test(scripting): guard the helper-set cache-scope wiring The prior test only proved GenerateCacheKey honours a scope string; it did not cover the actual bug, which was in ScriptEngine failing to pass one. Deleting helperSet.Key from the CompileCoreAsync call site left every test green. Add a regression test that drives the real wiring (ScriptEngine -> IScriptHelperRegistry -> IEvaluator): two helper sets export the same namespace/type but return different values, and the same mapping source is compiled against each through ScriptEngine. Verified it fails (second result wrongly "A") with helperSet.Key removed, and passes with it restored. Also add the missing negative case (two scope-less compiles still share one cache entry), drop the pointless default on CompileCoreAsync's cacheScope parameter, and treat an empty cacheScope the same as an absent one in GenerateCacheKey. * refactor(scripting): derive the cache scope from the load context The explicit cacheScope string added in the previous commit let the scope and the AssemblyLoadContext disagree — nothing enforced that a caller passing loadContext also passed the matching scope, and an existing test (Mapping_Can_Call_Referenced_Helper style call) already did exactly that. CSharpEvaluator now derives the scope internally: a private ConditionalWeakTable<AssemblyLoadContext, string> hands each context a stable id on first use (Interlocked.Increment), keyed weakly so the table is never what keeps a context alive. A null loadContext still yields a null scope, so the no-helper path's keys are unchanged. This removes the cacheScope parameter from IEvaluator (a NuGet-published contract) entirely, reverts ScriptEngine.CompileCoreAsync and its call sites to their pre-Task-3 shape, and removes HelperSet.Key along with the invariant it required — a superseded helper set now gets a new context and therefore a new scope automatically, with nothing to document or maintain. GenerateCacheKey keeps its private cacheScope parameter; only the public surface changed. * docs(scripting): fix two XML doc references on the cache-scope derivation A paramref on a field and an unresolvable CreateFromImage overload cref. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(scripting): mark the plan's Task 3 steps as superseded The shipped design derives the cache scope from the load context; the explicit-cacheScope steps are kept as the record of what was tried. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(scripting): correct the cache-scope retention comment and isolate its test The LoadContextScopes doc claimed a superseded context's cache entries are "stranded" and the context collected. That is wrong: _typeCache holds CompiledScript.Context strongly for the singleton's lifetime, so a superseded helper context and every assembly loaded into it are retained for the process lifetime instead. Corrected the comment to say so, and noted _typeCache as what pins it. Also: removed a comment at GenerateCacheKey's |alc: append that duplicated CompileToInstanceAsync's, trimmed the CreateFromImage/null-Display root cause to its one home (GetCacheScope's doc) instead of three, collapsed the scope id format to alc{id} (dropping the unobserved Name-based diagnostic claim, keeping the load-bearing incrementing id), and added a note on GetCacheScope explaining why ConditionalWeakTable's factory re-entrancy is expected and must not be "fixed" into TryGetValue + Add. Moved ScriptEngine_Compiles_Same_Mapping_Against_Different_Helper_Sets_ Without_Cross_Contamination, IHelperValueMapping, and BuildHelperMapping out of SandboxedScriptingTests.cs (whose doc says its tests run without a DI container) into a new ScriptEngineHelperSetIsolationTests.cs. * fix(subflow): stop a transient output-mapping fault from faulting the parent * test(subflow): cover the transient rethrow in the mapping and fault paths * fix(subflow): classify load failures surfaced through ReflectionTypeLoadException * docs(subflow): record that a failed mapping Result now means permanent Both call sites still claimed retrying could never succeed.

Classify treated that entry as Normal, so ReserveAsync rejected the expected Busy parent with Instance:100031 and the fault surfaced as SubflowCompletionException. Classify now maps IsErrorBoundaryTransition to OwnerReentry — the fault callback is the continuation of the very chain that owns the Busy — mirroring the resume path that already enters via IsInternalResume.

* expose scheduled transitions with persisted UTC execution time (InstanceJob.ExecuteAt) in the state response, folding job-set changes into the fingerprint ETag (shape v6)
* fix(timer): interpret Unspecified-kind scheduled DateTimes as UTC in ResolveExecuteAt
* drop scheduled-job members from the fingerprint ETag
* clean comments
* feat(telemetry): propagate workflow correlation context
* feat(observability): unify trace tree across async jobs and correlate logs via X-Request-Id
Trace side — a client's transition/start request now appears as ONE trace tree
in APM (orchestration -> background job -> pipeline -> Execution -> remote task):
- BackgroundJobActivityHelper.StartActivityContinuingTrace: immediate jobs
(flow.transition, state.notify) re-parent on the payload's TraceParent and
attach the Dapr scheduler callback span as an ActivityLink; deferred jobs
(timer/timeout/ack) keep the link-only policy so stale traces are not resurrected.
- Fix: EnqueueContinuationStrategy now stamps TraceParent/TraceState onto the
outbox TransitionContinuationRequested event (direct payload already had them).
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors) carries CorrelationId/TraceParent/TraceState;
RemoteInvokerService populates them and forwards X-Request-Id; ExecutionController
restores the trace from the body when transport propagation left no ambient
activity (transport wins on mismatch, tagged vnext.trace.mismatch).
- Task invokers skip reserved trace headers (traceparent/tracestate/baggage/
x-request-id) from binding definitions; Dapr binding/pub-sub invokers stamp the
live W3C context into operation metadata explicitly.
- ITraceableDistributedEvent on instance lifecycle events, stamped centrally by
HookedDistributedEventBus at publish time; Inbox handlers restore it via
EventTraceScope and forward X-Request-Id (DaprOrchestrationForwarder).
- Inbox/Outbox workers: tracing enabled with OTLP exporter.
- Cross-domain calls (CurrentUserForwardHeadersHelper) stamp X-Root-Instance-Id
from baggage and X-Request-Id from the correlation provider.
Log side — start -> state/view/schema/data chain is now queryable end to end:
- InstanceStarted (EventId 20008) emitted while the start HTTP request is live,
closing the X-Request-Id <-> instance-id join without a client-supplied id.
- InstanceQueryAppService.BeginInstanceScope: per-request log scope + activity
tags (instance id/key, flow, domain) on the read/function path, resolving the
route token to the real instance id.
- TransitionJobHandler restores the captured x-request-id into
ICorrelationIdProvider for the duration of the job.
Config:
- Remove hardcoded Telemetry:Otlp from appsettings — Aether prefers config over
env, so the value silently overrode OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT in containers;
env files now point at otel-collector:4318 (http/protobuf).
- Explicit Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel=Business in both hosts.
- New guide: docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md (APISIX contract,
trace-continuation semantics, reserved-header rule).

* fix(telemetry): reconcile correlation.id and request id after PR #879 merge
PR #879 (workflow correlation context) and the X-Request-Id correlation work
overlapped on one field with two meanings: TaskTraceContext.CorrelationId was
populated with the request id but consumed as the business correlation
(X-Correlation-Id header, correlation.id tag) — so correlation.id carried the
request id on the Execution side while carrying the execution GUID on the
orchestration side, and X-Correlation-Id had a different source per hop.
Reconciliation — one identity per carrier:
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors): new RequestId field. CorrelationId is
the business correlation only. RemoteInvokerService sends X-Request-Id from
RequestId and X-Correlation-Id from CorrelationId; ExecutionController tags
correlation.id from CorrelationId and vnext.request.id from RequestId.
CreateTraceContext reads the business correlation from correlation.id
baggage, falling back to the current trace id.
- correlation.id is now CHAIN-STABLE: TransitionExecutor.EnrichTelemetry
publishes correlation.id + workflow.instance.id tags and baggage for every
pipeline run (sync included — previously async-accept only), and the id is
carried across async hops via TransitionJobPayload.CorrelationId and
TransitionContinuationRequested.CorrelationId, re-seeded through
TransitionInput.CorrelationId so auto-chain job hops stop minting a new
correlation per job.
- Event contracts: ITraceableDistributedEvent.CorrelationId renamed to
RequestId (it carries the X-Request-Id value) across the interface, the ten
lifecycle events, the bus stamper, EventTraceScope and inbox handler scopes —
removing the naming collision with the business correlation.
- Invoker hardening: ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders moved to InvokerHelpers and
applied by every HTTP-shaped invoker (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger); the four correlation/identity headers joined the
reserved-header guard so task bindings cannot spoof them anywhere.
- Fixed a merge artifact in ExecutionController (',AD' token) and a duplicated
CorrelationId property in the Execution-side TaskTraceContext.
- docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: carriers table rewritten around
the four distinct identities and the extended reserved-header contract.

* merge scheduled transitions into the transitions list as kind:"scheduled" entries carrying executeAtUtc — drop the separate scheduledTransitions field
* rename transition kind "stateTransition" to "manual"
* fix(tracing): stop creating pipeline-step spans in Business mode so children keep their parent
In the trace UI, TaskCoordinator.Execute / Task.Execute.* / subflow-subprocess
branches and outbound POST client spans appeared at the trace ROOT instead of
under transition/{key}. Root cause: pipeline steps created PostSharp [Trace]
aspect spans and renamed them to '[{Order}] {Step}', and Aether's Business
filter suppresses '['-prefixed spans at OnEnd (export time) — the step
Activity still existed and was Activity.Current for the whole step body, so
every child span pointed at a parent span id that was never exported and the
UI re-rooted the whole subtree.
Fix — a span Business mode would drop is now never CREATED in Business mode:
- New PipelineStepActivityHelper (ActivitySource "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline"):
starts the '[{Order}] {StepName}' step span only when DetailLevel=Verbose,
from a single wrap point in TransitionExecutor.ExecuteStepWithBoundaryAsync.
In Business mode no step Activity exists, so task, subflow, background-job
and HttpClient child spans attach directly to transition/{key}.
- Removed the [Trace] aspect and the SetDisplayName("[N] ...") rename from all
pipeline steps (the per-step aspect+rename pair is replaced by the central
helper).
- ActivityExtensions.SetDisplayName: removed the dead step-guard whose comment
described a suppression model Aether does not implement (the filter acts at
OnEnd, not at creation); documented the creation rule instead.
- PostCommitExecutor: each post-commit job now runs under an always-exported
'PostCommit.{JobType}' business span so subflow/subprocess starts have a
visible parent in the trace.
- AdditionalSources: registered "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline" in both hosts.
- docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: documented the creation rule and
added the re-rooted-spans troubleshooting entry.

* feat(tracing): make sub/act_sub fill-if-absent on outbound task calls
The identity claims are token-derived defaults, not vNext-owned workflow
context: when a developer sets sub/act_sub explicitly in a task binding's
input mapping, that value must win; only when the binding does not set them
should the platform fill them from the gateway token.
- InvokerHelpers: sub/act_sub removed from the reserved-header guard so
binding-provided values flow through every remote invoker's header copy;
ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders no longer removes them and only adds the
baggage values when the header is absent. X-Workflow-Instance-Id and
X-Correlation-Id stay authoritative (always overwritten from baggage).
- Applies to all HTTP-shaped invokers (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger) via the shared helper.
- Tests updated for the new precedence + new fill-from-baggage case; docs
describe the fill-if-absent rule.

* chore(telemetry): upgrade Aether to 1.0.35 and drop the enricher header prefix
Aether 1.0.35 makes the log-enricher header key prefix configurable
(burgan-tech/aether#92). Set RequestHeaderKeyPrefix to "" in every host so the
enriched headers land as bare fields — sub, act_sub, jti, role,
x_parent_instance_id, user_agent, x_request_id — instead of RequestHeader.*,
which OpenObserve/Elasticsearch surface as requestheader_act_sub once they
lowercase the key and flatten the dot.
The response prefix keeps its ResponseHeader. default so a header present on
both request and response cannot collapse onto a single field.
Docs: new "Log enricher field names" section covering the field naming, the
backend normalization behind it, and the enricher's inbound-request-only scope.

* refactor(telemetry): drop duplicate sub/act_sub from the Execution log scope
With the enricher header prefix removed, the enricher emits the identity
claims as bare fields (sub, act_sub). ExecutionController's log scope carried
the same two values under sub and act.sub — and act.sub flattens to act_sub in
the log backend — so every task-invoke log record ended up with each claim
twice, from the same TaskTraceContext source.
The enricher is the wider emitter (every log record of the request, not just
the invoke block) and RemoteInvokerService forwards the headers on every call,
so the scope copy is pure duplication. Removed it; the claims remain span tags
and baggage, which are a different signal and unaffected.

* Add OTLP config to host appsettings
Add an "Otlp" settings block (Endpoint: http://localhost:4318, Protocol: http/protobuf) to appsettings.json for Execution, Orchestration, Monitoring, DbMigrator, Inbox and Outbox hosts. Provides a concrete OTLP endpoint/protocol for the existing EnableOtlpExporter tracing configuration so services can send telemetry to a local OpenTelemetry collector.
* feat(telemetry): stamp the originating request id on every log record in every service
Answering "I sent X-Request-Id on a transition — is it on all logs?": it was not,
and where it appeared it could be wrong. Aether's header enricher reads only the
CURRENT inbound request's headers, so it is silent wherever there is no
HttpContext (the Outbox worker, background work) — and on requests the platform
originates itself (Dapr job callbacks, Dapr pub/sub deliveries) the correlation
middleware generates an id from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier and writes it back
into the request headers, so the enricher reported a fabricated x_request_id that
looked exactly like a real client id. Filtering a dashboard on it silently
dropped the async half of every flow.
Meanwhile ICorrelationIdProvider — which the platform already populates at every
entry point, including our TransitionJobHandler and EventTraceScope restores —
was write-only: nothing read it for logging.
- New RequestIdLogProcessor (HttpApi.Shared) stamps vnext.request.id from
ICorrelationIdProvider onto every log record, with no HttpContext dependency
and without duplicating a value a scope or log parameter already supplied.
Registered once in the shared AddTelemetry via Aether's ConfigureLogging seam,
so it covers orchestration, execution, monitoring, inbox, outbox and migrator.
- StateNotifyJobHandler now restores the captured request id into the provider
(it read the header but never applied it).
- Removed X-Request-Id from Enrichers:Headers in all hosts, so the fabricated
x_request_id field disappears and vnext_request_id is the single source. This
also removes the stray ResponseHeader.x_request_id field.
- Removed the now-duplicate vnext.request.id entries from the job/execution/inbox
log scopes; the provider Change() calls stay as the processor's source.
- Docs: "Querying one request across all services" — the per-entry-point source
table, the two deliberate exceptions (system-triggered jobs, Outbox publish
loop) and why X-Request-Id must not be an enricher header.

* refactor(telemetry): name the request-id log field x_request_id
The global request-id field was vnext.request.id, queried as vnext_request_id
after the backend flattens the dots. The platform's own jargon for this value is
X-Request-Id, so the field is renamed to its normalized header form:
x_request_id. It deliberately carries no dot, so backends that flatten dotted
keys (OpenObserve, Elasticsearch) leave it alone and the queried name is the
same everywhere.
One constant drives the log attribute, the Execution span tag and the tests, so
logs and traces keep a single name for the value.
Because the key is now identical to what Aether's header enricher would produce
for X-Request-Id, the existing "never list that header in
Telemetry:Logging:Enrichers:Headers" rule stops being cosmetic: the enricher
runs first and would suppress the correct value with the one it fabricates from
HttpContext.TraceIdentifier on Dapr callbacks. Documented at the constant, in
the processor and in the monitoring guide, and pinned by a test so a future
rename has to be deliberate.

* feat(telemetry): filter traces by the same x_request_id as the logs
Logs already carried x_request_id on every record; spans carried it in a
single place (the Execution invoke span), and Aether's tracing header
enrichment would only ever produce it under a second, dash-bearing name
(http.request.header.x-request-id) on server spans that actually received
the header.
RequestIdSpanProcessor stamps the tag in OnStart for every span opened
inside a correlation scope, which covers all three entry points — HTTP,
transition/state-notify jobs and Inbox events. The ASP.NET Core server
span is out of its reach (instrumentation opens it before
UseCorrelationId(), so the AsyncLocal is still empty), so
ParentInstanceIdEnrichmentMiddleware tags that one; it already runs right
after the correlation middleware and already writes to Activity.Current.
Both read ICorrelationIdProvider rather than the raw header, keeping one
source for the field, and neither overwrites an existing tag.
X-Request-Id is dropped from Telemetry:Tracing:Headers in the four hosts
that listed it, so the concept has one name in a trace. The log-side trap
does not apply to that enrichment — it runs in OnStartActivity, before the
middleware can fabricate an id — this is purely about a duplicate name.

* ci: publish NuGet packages via trusted publishing instead of an API key
nuget.org's trusted publishing policy for this repository is configured, and
the long-lived key behind secrets.NUGET_API_KEY is gone — the push step was
depending on a secret that no longer works.
NuGet/login exchanges the job's OIDC token for an API key valid for one hour,
so the job needs id-token: write. The login step sits directly before the push
rather than at the top of the job: the restore and five pack steps are slow
under PostSharp, and the docs ask for the key to be requested shortly before
publishing. The push source is unchanged — the returned value is an ordinary
nuget.org key and resolves through the v3 service index as before.
The username comes from the NUGET_USER repository variable, guarded by an
explicit check because an undefined variable is silently the empty string and
would otherwise surface as an opaque token-exchange failure.
This leaves publish-npm and publish-nuget both on OIDC, with no publishing
secret left in the workflow.

* fix(transitions): reserve the subflow chain at accept, with one lock — and scope the $self profile to updateData (#884)
* ci: let a failed release be completed instead of skipped (#886)
The v0.0.80 release shipped images and a GitHub release but no NuGet
packages, and could not be repaired. Four separate reasons, all fixed here.
NUGET_USER is a repository SECRET, not a variable, so `vars.NUGET_USER` was
the empty string and publish-nuget failed its own configuration guard. The
guard now reads the secret through env rather than inlining the expression,
so the value stays masked and cannot be interpolated into the script.
Re-running the failed job could not fix it either: a re-run uses the
workflow file from the original commit, so it never sees the fix. And a
fresh run could not target 0.0.80 at all, because the stable path walks to
the first UNUSED patch version — it would have produced 0.0.81 and left
0.0.80's packages permanently missing, with images and packages on
different versions. workflow_dispatch now honours the `version` input on
the stable path, pinning the version instead of walking; re-publishing over
a shipped tag is intentional but never implicit and requires
force_publish=true. The push path is untouched and still walks.
`npm publish` fails hard on an already-published version and has no
equivalent of `dotnet nuget push --skip-duplicate`, so the re-publish run
that completed 0.0.80's NuGet packages went red on npm even though the
package was already there and nothing was missing. The version is now
checked against the registry first and the publish step is skipped rather
than failed.
Finally, the release summary linked BBT.Workflow.Modules.Scripting, which
is the project name; the project packs as BBT.Workflow.Scripting, so that
link was dead in every release summary.
Verified by simulating the version-calculation and npm-existence scripts
locally: dispatch with version+force resolves 0.0.80, dispatch without
force refuses, a branch push still resolves the next free patch, and the
npm check skips 0.0.80 while publishing an unpublished version. The
NUGET_USER and version-pinning halves are already proven in practice —
run 32025105316 published all five 0.0.80 packages with them.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree in Elastic APM (#887)
* build(docker): run Elastic APM alongside OpenObserve and load the Dapr tracing config
Production renders traces in Elastic APM, and Elastic and OpenObserve do not
draw the same waterfall from the same data: Elastic resolves nesting strictly
through parent.id and re-parents a span whose parent document is absent to the
trace root, while OpenObserve groups by trace id and keeps drawing it in place.
A trace verified only in OpenObserve therefore says nothing about production.
Adds elasticsearch, kibana and apm-server to the three compose files that
already run OpenObserve, and fans the collector's traces, metrics and logs out
to both backends so the two renderings can be compared on one request. APM
Server takes OTLP natively on 8200; it is published on 8201 because Vault
already owns 8200 on the host. Security is off and there is no secret token —
local only.
The sidecars were the missing half. Every etc/*/dapr/config.yaml already sets
samplingRate 1 and an OTLP endpoint, but daprd only reads it when started with
--config, which no compose file passed. The sidecars were creating and
propagating span ids for service invocation while exporting none of them, so
the Execution transaction's parent was a span no backend ever saw — exactly the
shape that makes Elastic re-root the Execution subtree. All sidecars now mount
their Configuration and load it.
Two adjacent fixes this uncovered: the monitoring sidecar in docker-compose.yml
mounted etc/workers/monitoring/dapr, which does not exist (dev and stage both
use etc/monitoring/dapr), so Docker created an empty directory and it ran with
no components; and containerised apps needed Telemetry__Otlp__Endpoint rather
than OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, since Aether treats configuration as stronger
than the environment and appsettings pins localhost:4318 — correct for the
host-run flow, a black hole inside a container.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree
A transition renders as one tree in Kibana only if every span between the entry point
and the remote call is actually exported. Three links were missing, each producing the
same shape: a span whose parent id was propagated but whose parent document no backend
ever received. Elastic APM re-parents such a span to the trace root, so the whole
Execution subtree — including the outbound task request — disappeared from under
`Dapr invoke vnext-execution-app`. Measured on one transition: 9 orphans of 45 spans
before, 0 after.
Dapr sidecars: the tracing block was authored under `otlp:`, a key Dapr's TracingSpec
does not have, so it was silently ignored — the sampler still initialized and the
sidecar still created and propagated span ids while exporting none of them. 7edda306
passed --config, which was necessary but not sufficient. The field is `otel`, and
`protocol` and `isSecure` are required rather than optional: Dapr builds no exporter
without an explicit protocol, and isSecure defaults to TLS, which a plaintext collector
refuses. Each was isolated by a span-arrival test — any one missing yields zero sidecar
spans. All six configs corrected.
gRPC client spans: no gRPC instrumentation was registered anywhere (Aether wires up
AspNetCore and HttpClient only), yet Grpc.Net.Client — which every Dapr.Client call goes
through — creates its activity regardless, and the System.Net.Http span nests under it.
The discriminator was exact: every HTTP/2 client span in a trace was orphaned, every
HTTP/1.1 one correctly parented. Registering OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.GrpcNetClient
exports the parent; the single AddTelemetry feeds all five hosts.
State-store and lock sidecar spans: enabling sidecar export surfaced 55 pre-existing
holes, all state-store or lock calls (GetState x47, TryLock/Unlock, SaveState). Here the
app's gRPC span is exported and correctly nested, but the HttpClient activity below it
puts its id on the wire without being exported and the sidecar parents onto that. The
collector now drops the sidecar's duplicate, which carries only its own internal handling
time and cost ~50 detached spans per transition. Scoped by instrumentation scope, not by
name — the app-side span carries the same `…/GetState` suffix and must survive. CallLocal/*
is untouched: those are the spans that reconnect Orchestration to Execution. None of the
55 had children, so dropping them orphans nothing.
The underlying HttpClient hole is not fixed and the filter is marked to be removed when it
is: the client-construction path for Aether's distributed cache and lock differs from
Dapr.Jobs/DaprClient in a way this change does not explain. Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel
stays Business throughout.

* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key and load it idempotently (#888)
* docs(scripting): design for the script ALC double-compile race
Root-causes the `Script_<hash> already loaded` FileLoadException seen on
subflow output mapping under load, and specifies the fix.
The crash needs three conditions at once: compilation is check-then-act
with no GetOrAdd, a declared helper set makes the load context shared and
long-lived, and DurablePostCommit processes every subflow completion twice.
Helpers landed in v0.0.60, which is what turned a previously harmless race
into a crash — the evaluator source is unchanged since.
Design: Lazy<T> + GetOrAdd with faulted-entry eviction (mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry), idempotent assembly load so a partial failure cannot
permanently poison a shared context, and an explicit cacheScope so the cache
key distinguishes helper sets instead of relying on a null Display.
Output-mapping double-apply is called out as a non-goal.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(subflow): correct the race's cause and add output-mapping failure classification
Two corrections to the design after reading the SubFlow terminal services.
The concurrency source is not the duplicate DurablePostCommit delivery: the
per-(parent, subInstance) lock serializes duplicates, and correlation
completion and output mapping already share one transaction, so the mapping
cannot be applied twice. Parallel *distinct* completions of the same flow are
what compile the same mapping concurrently.
That leaves the real damage, now specified as 5.4: SubflowCompletionService
treats every failed output mapping as permanent and faults the parent, so a
transient infrastructure fault terminates a healthy instance with nothing to
retry it. ApplyAsync now classifies transient vs permanent and rethrows the
transient case so the transaction rolls back and the delivery is redelivered.
The superseded reading is kept in the decisions log so it is not repeated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): close three soundness gaps in the fix design
Assembly names now carry the full cache key instead of a 16-character
prefix. The idempotent-load rule reuses an assembly by simple name, which is
only exact if the name identifies the compilation uniquely; 64 bits made it
probabilistic, and widening it costs nothing but stack-trace length.
Records the registry invariant that cacheScope depends on: a healthy
HelperSet is never evicted, so a cached Type cannot outlive its load context.
A future TTL or hot-reload policy would break this silently, so it is
documented on both HelperSet.Key and the registry's Evict.
Makes the transient classification an explicit allowlist — an unrecognised
exception stays permanent. Treating the unknown as transient would turn a
genuine mapping bug into an indefinitely redelivered poison message.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): implementation plan for the compile race and failure classification
Five independently committable tasks, each TDD-driven with the actual test
and implementation code: atomic compilation, idempotent assembly load, cache
scope, the transient/permanent classifier, and the caller comments.
Also narrows the spec's transient list to the CLR-level faults actually being
classified. Recognising transient data-access failures needs provider-specific
inspection and no evidence it occurs on this path, so it is left as a future
allowlist entry rather than widening this change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key
CompileToInstanceAsync was check-then-act: TryGetValue miss -> Roslyn
emit -> LoadFromStream -> TryAdd. Concurrent callers with the same
cache key both compiled, producing two assemblies with the identical
simple name (derived from the cache key), which a shared
AssemblyLoadContext cannot hold -> FileLoadException under load.
Mirror the GetOrAdd + Lazy<T> pattern already used by
ScriptHelperRegistry: one compile per cache key, faulted entries
evicted via TryRemove(KeyValuePair) so a transient failure isn't
replayed forever by this singleton. Compile runs under
CancellationToken.None since the result is shared by every waiter.
Also name the assembly after the whole cache key instead of a 16-char
prefix, so reuse-by-name is exact rather than probabilistic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(scripting): address Task 1 review feedback
- Give the concurrency test an actual rendezvous (Barrier(8) +
ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(16,16)) instead of relying on Task.Run to
happen to dispatch all 8 callers before the compile finishes; without
it the test could go green on a starved pool without ever racing.
- Fix cancellation docs (IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync,
ScriptEngine.CompileToInstanceAsync) to match the new behaviour: the
token gates entry only and cannot cancel a compile once it is shared
by other waiters.
- Add a TryGetValue+IsValueCreated fast path before GetOrAdd so the
capturing closure isn't allocated on every cache hit, mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry.GetOrBuildHelpers.
- Move the CompiledScript record struct to the bottom of the class and
drop the now-unused System.Reflection using.

* fix(scripting): reuse an already-loaded script assembly instead of reloading it
* test(scripting): guard the eviction-and-retry recovery path
* fix(scripting): key the script cache by load context, not just by source
Two different helper sets that export the same namespaces previously shared
one CSharpEvaluator cache entry for identical mapping source, because the
helper reference's MetadataReference.Display is null for in-memory images
and contributed nothing to GenerateCacheKey. A second flow could silently
execute the first flow's helper implementations with no exception.
Thread an explicit cacheScope (the helper set's content-hash Key) through
IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync/InvalidateScript and ScriptEngine's
CompileCoreAsync so the load context is folded into the cache key.
* test(scripting): guard the helper-set cache-scope wiring
The prior test only proved GenerateCacheKey honours a scope string; it did
not cover the actual bug, which was in ScriptEngine failing to pass one.
Deleting helperSet.Key from the CompileCoreAsync call site left every test
green.
Add a regression test that drives the real wiring (ScriptEngine ->
IScriptHelperRegistry -> IEvaluator): two helper sets export the same
namespace/type but return different values, and the same mapping source is
compiled against each through ScriptEngine. Verified it fails (second result
wrongly "A") with helperSet.Key removed, and passes with it restored.
Also add the missing negative case (two scope-less compiles still share one
cache entry), drop the pointless default on CompileCoreAsync's cacheScope
parameter, and treat an empty cacheScope the same as an absent one in
GenerateCacheKey.
* refactor(scripting): derive the cache scope from the load context
The explicit cacheScope string added in the previous commit let the scope
and the AssemblyLoadContext disagree — nothing enforced that a caller
passing loadContext also passed the matching scope, and an existing test
(Mapping_Can_Call_Referenced_Helper style call) already did exactly that.
CSharpEvaluator now derives the scope internally: a private
ConditionalWeakTable<AssemblyLoadContext, string> hands each context a
stable id on first use (Interlocked.Increment), keyed weakly so the table
is never what keeps a context alive. A null loadContext still yields a
null scope, so the no-helper path's keys are unchanged.
This removes the cacheScope parameter from IEvaluator (a NuGet-published
contract) entirely, reverts ScriptEngine.CompileCoreAsync and its call
sites to their pre-Task-3 shape, and removes HelperSet.Key along with the
invariant it required — a superseded helper set now gets a new context and
therefore a new scope automatically, with nothing to document or maintain.
GenerateCacheKey keeps its private cacheScope parameter; only the public
surface changed.

* refactor(scripting): correct the cache-scope retention comment and isolate its test
The LoadContextScopes doc claimed a superseded context's cache entries are
"stranded" and the context collected. That is wrong: _typeCache holds
CompiledScript.Context strongly for the singleton's lifetime, so a
superseded helper context and every assembly loaded into it are retained
for the process lifetime instead. Corrected the comment to say so, and
noted _typeCache as what pins it.
Also: removed a comment at GenerateCacheKey's |alc: append that duplicated
CompileToInstanceAsync's, trimmed the CreateFromImage/null-Display root
cause to its one home (GetCacheScope's doc) instead of three, collapsed the
scope id format to alc{id} (dropping the unobserved Name-based diagnostic
claim, keeping the load-bearing incrementing id), and added a note on
GetCacheScope explaining why ConditionalWeakTable's factory re-entrancy is
expected and must not be "fixed" into TryGetValue + Add.
Moved ScriptEngine_Compiles_Same_Mapping_Against_Different_Helper_Sets_
Without_Cross_Contamination, IHelperValueMapping, and BuildHelperMapping
out of SandboxedScriptingTests.cs (whose doc says its tests run without a
DI container) into a new ScriptEngineHelperSetIsolationTests.cs.

A subflow fault completes the parent correlation and then executes the

design, for the subflow's lifetime). Classify treated that entry as
Normal, so ReserveAsync rejected the expected Busy parent with
Instance:100031 and the fault surfaced as SubflowCompletionException.
Classify now maps IsErrorBoundaryTransition to OwnerReentry — the fault
callback is the continuation of the very chain that owns the Busy —
mirroring the resume path that already enters via IsInternalResume.

* feat(scripting): cache Dapr secret bundles in-process with a short TTL (#899)
* feat(scripting): cache Dapr secret bundles in-process with a short TTL
ScriptBase secret functions (GetSecret/GetSecretAsync/GetSecrets/
GetSecretsAsync) hit the vault on every call, overloading it under load.
Introduce ScriptSecretCache, a process-wide singleton that caches whole
secret bundles keyed by (storeName, secretStore) with a 30-second default
TTL, single-flight stampede protection, immediate eviction of faulted
fetches (no negative caching), and lazy TTL expiry via TimeProvider.
The cache is deliberately in-process rather than distributed so secret
material never transits Redis. Configurable via the Scripting:SecretCache
section (Enabled=false or TtlSeconds<=0 bypasses it). ScriptBase reads
through IScriptServices.SecretCache and falls back to direct Dapr access
when the cache is absent (legacy implementations and bare mocks).

* feat(scripting): serve sync GetSecret cache hits with a lock-free L1 probe
The sync GetSecret/GetSecrets wrappers delegated unconditionally to the
async path via GetAwaiter().GetResult(), which under load parks threads
even when the answer is already in memory. Add TryGetCachedSecret /
TryGetCachedBundle probes to IScriptSecretCache: a read-only, never-
blocking, never-fetching check that hits only on an already-created,
successfully completed, unexpired bundle entry. ScriptBase probes L1
first and only drops down to the blocking async path on a miss (cold,
in-flight, faulted or expired entry).
Hits are now structurally lock-free and allocation-free with no
sync-over-async involvement. Misses still block the calling thread by
nature of a synchronous API — single-flight keeps the vault at one call;
miss-heavy scripts should prefer GetSecretAsync (documented in README).
The probe never evicts; evict-and-refresh stays single-flight in the
async path.

* Flat trace lanes, job arming outside the status lock, and four defects found on the way (#900)
* fix(docker): give the Dapr scheduler enough tmpfs to hold its etcd store
The scheduler's etcd data dir was a 64 MB tmpfs. etcd preallocates a 64 MB WAL
segment and keeps snapshots and member data alongside it, so the store cannot fit:
the container dies with "no space left on device" and exits.
The consequence is not local to the scheduler. Once it is gone the sidecars cannot
resolve dapr-scheduler, every job arm fails, and because a failed arm only rolls
the row back to Pending — where nothing picks it up while the arming poller is
disabled — transitions stop running entirely and instances sit Busy. The local
stack could not survive a restart.
Raised to 512 MB in all five compose files. The light variants quote the value

* fix(background-job): arm workflow timeout jobs instead of leaving them Pending
The timeout enqueue never passed `directly`, so it defaulted to false: the row was
persisted as Pending and the scheduler was never called. That made workflow
timeouts depend on the background-job arming poller, which is disabled
(BackgroundJob:WithHostedService = false) — so timeouts were never armed and never
fired. No exception, no log; the enqueue reported success and the row just sat
there.
Not a deliberate choice: four of the five enqueue sites in this codebase already
pass directly: true. This one was missed.
Verified against a local stack: flow.timeout rows now land Scheduled, where before
the fix every one of them stayed Pending indefinitely.

* fix(tracing): propagate trace context on notification output bindings
Dapr output bindings bypass HttpClient's DiagnosticsHandler — the sidecar
originates its own request to the component — so nothing carries a traceparent
unless it is passed as component metadata. DaprBindingTaskInvoker already did
this; the two notification dispatchers did not, so every notification left the
trace at the task boundary.
The stamping logic moves to DaprTraceMetadata, shared by the Application-layer
dispatchers. DaprBindingTaskInvoker keeps its inline copy: the Execution service
deliberately does not reference BBT.Workflow.Domain, and a layering edge is not
worth six lines. The comment there points at the shared helper.

* chore(deps): bump Aether to 1.0.36
Brings IBackgroundJobArmHandle / EnqueueWithDeferredArmAsync, which the accept
path needs to arm outside the instance status lock, plus jittered poll pacing in
the outbox, inbox and background-job arming loops.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf(workers): cap outbox and inbox idle polling at 10s instead of 60s
A 60 second ceiling put a measured 23 s of pure waiting into one observed trace
before the outbox even leased the message. Lowering the cap bounds the worst case
at 10 s; with 10 replicas per worker and the jitter Aether 1.0.36 adds, expected
pickup is around a second.
Measured idle cost of the change on one replica per worker: commits/s 0.22 -> 0.83.
Tuples and buffer hits are unchanged and blks_read stays at zero — the extra polls
return nothing, so they cost a transaction and an index probe, not data or disk.
Extrapolated to 10 replicas: roughly +6 commits/s, constant.
IdlePollingInterval and BusyPollingInterval are deliberately untouched. Idle is a
starting value, not a steady state: after a busy round the delay drops to 100 ms
and climbs from there, so a system with traffic is already responsive.

* feat(tracing): flatten trace lanes and move job arming out of the status lock
Two changes that share too many files to separate cleanly. Both come out of the
same investigation into why a single business request was hard to read and
occasionally slow.
## Flat trace lanes
A chained request produced a deeply nested trace: each auto-chained hop's
TransitionJob.Execute span was parented to the previous hop's span, so nesting
depth equalled chain depth. Measured on 22-hop traces, the deepest hop sat at
depth 53. With subflows the waterfall was unusable for finding a failure.
The cause was one field doing two jobs. The payload's TraceParent is the previous
hop — correct as a link, wrong as a parent. Splitting it fixes the shape:
TraceParent -> the predecessor, attached as an ActivityLink
TraceRoot -> the lane anchor, the actual parent
ParentTraceRoot -> the lane to return to, set only inside a subflow
The model is one lane per instance. A new lane opens only at a subflow handoff, so
a subflow's hops render flat underneath the PostCommit span that forwarded to
them, and depth grows with subflow nesting rather than chain length. After the
change the deepest hop of a 23-hop trace sits at depth 1.
All the policy lives in FlatLaneActivity. An anchor from another trace is linked
and never trusted as a parent, so a stale AsyncLocal or a relayed payload cannot
teleport a span. Absent anchor means exactly the previous behaviour, which is what
makes a rolling deploy safe in both directions. No migration: job payloads live in
the Dapr scheduler store, outbox events in a serialized blob.
Baggage could not carry the anchor. Every span here starts from an explicit
ActivityContext, which leaves Activity.Parent null, and Activity.Baggage walks
that chain — so baggage is already invisible to these spans today. Pinned by
ActivityParentContextSemanticsTests before anything was built on the assumption.
Wrapper spans that only added depth are gone: WorkflowExecutionService.Execute-
TransitionAsync, AsyncTransitionStrategy.ExecuteAsync and TaskCoordinator.Execute.
Task.Execute.{key} stays — it is the only span carrying per-task duration and the
task.failed / task.retry events. SyncTransitionStrategy keeps its [Trace]
deliberately: it stamps ActivityStatusCode.Error on its own span, and removing it
would move that onto the HTTP transaction and inflate APM error rates for ordinary
4xx business failures.
## Arming outside the status lock
The accept path held the instance status lock across the Dapr scheduler
round-trip. Measured under load, that call was essentially the entire lock hold —
arming p50 214 ms against a 198 ms median hold, p90 571 ms, worst 3.1 s — so every
other request on the same instance queued behind an external call. That breaks the
"millisecond-scale check-and-set" premise the Busy-as-mutex design rests on.
Only the row has to commit under the lock: the duplicate-job guard is a
check-then-insert with no database constraint, so the next contender must see it.
Telling Dapr does not. The accept now persists under the lock via Aether's
deferred-arm handle and arms after releasing it — one scheduler call, no job-row
read and no extra status write, because the handle carries the payload.
Auto-chain is untouched: it runs in the pipeline's ambient unit of work and holds
no status lock, so Aether already defers its arming to post-commit.
Also removes the 5 ms scheduling lead. It was not a correctness guard — arming
routinely completes after the instant it requested and Dapr fires past-due
one-shot jobs regardless (2167 observed, none lost, none redelivered) — so it only
spent latency on a path whose whole budget is ~20 ms.
## Verification
Integration, same environment, same filter, before and after: 27 passed / 3 failed
both times, the same three pre-existing MoneyTransfer failures, 67 s vs 71 s. Unit
suites sit at their pre-existing baselines (20 / 27 / 11) with 26 tests added.
Measured after: BackgroundJob.Schedule inside a held lock 0/59, from 59% before.
Lock hold p50 7.8 ms -> 2.55 ms, worst 30.1 s -> 48 ms. Every accepted transition's
job row reached Completed; none stranded in Pending.

* feat(fanout): FanOutTask (type 21) — dynamic parallel task execution with single-write join (#905)
* docs: add FanOutTask (type 21) design spec for dynamic parallel task execution
Approved brainstorming output: inline scatter-gather fan-out over a runtime
collection (itemsPath/ItemsSelector), four join policies, per-item error
boundary, single-writer output via one OutputHandler call, task-level maxDop
plus a process-level global bulkhead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add FanOutTask implementation plan and spec amendments
13 bite-sized TDD tasks grounded in actual engine/executor signatures:
TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only item execution, FanOutTaskExecutor
with bounded parallel loop and join policies, global bulkhead, observability,
meta/docs updates and the vnext-example integration scenario.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(domain): add FanOutTask (type 21) definition with config parsing
Adds TaskType.FanOut, registers the polymorphic discriminator "21" on
WorkflowTask, and introduces FanOutTask: inline-mode-only fan-out over a
runtime-resolved item collection, running a referenced inner task per item
with configurable parallelism, timeouts, and join policy (all/allSettled/
quorum/firstSuccess). Config validation is fail-fast via ArgumentException
inside Configure(), mirroring SubProcessTask. Executor, mapping contract,
and DI wiring are deliberately out of scope for this change.
* test(domain): close FanOutTask validation coverage gaps
Adds InlineData rows to Configure_Should_Reject_Invalid_Config covering
three guards that were implemented but unpinned by tests:
- task reference present but missing a required subfield (version omitted)
- task reference present but a required subfield is empty string (version: "")
- zero/negative itemTimeoutSeconds (the positive-timeout guard, distinct
from the existing itemTimeoutSeconds > batchTimeoutSeconds case)
- an unparseable join.policy string ("bogus")
No implementation changes; FanOutTask.cs is untouched.
* fix(domain): reject numeric/malformed FanOutTask config values
Two defects fixed, each pinned by a failing test first:
- join.policy accepted any numeric string via Enum.TryParse succeeding on
undefined values (e.g. "0", "99"), deferring the failure to wherever
runtime code switches on JoinPolicy. Now requires Enum.IsDefined too.
- Non-object task/execution/join (e.g. task: "oops", execution: [],
join: []) leaked a raw InvalidOperationException from JsonElement
instead of ArgumentException naming the offending property, unlike the
existing errorBoundary ValueKind guard. Applied the same ValueKind ==
JsonValueKind.Object check to all three.
Also: XML doc comments on the five public consts; Clone/Reset test now
asserts all 12 properties in both directions instead of 3, using a config
that populates quorum+minSuccess and errorBoundary so the assertions are
not vacuously true on shared nulls; added positive coverage for the valid
quorum path and for errorBoundary parsing actually populating OnError.
* feat(domain): add IFanOutMapping contract with FanOutItem/FanOutResult records
* feat(engine): add TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only execution (suppress data apply, journal key override, prepared task, response capture)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(engine): address code review on TaskEngineExecutionOptions
- Assert a non-Flow origin in the Origin propagation test; Flow was the
fallback value, so the assertion could not fail.
- Make TaskExecutorContext.Origin required and update the four test call
sites; a defaulted parameter silently mislabels non-Flow executions.
- Document PreparedTask's retry lifetime (same instance reused across
attempts, unlike the factory path) and pin it with a retry test.
- Correct the TasksExecutionResult.Response doc: boundary-handled
failures also drop the response, not just infrastructure errors.
- Brace the two new CaptureResponse if statements.

* feat(fanout): add FanOutOptions and process-level concurrency bulkhead
Adds the process-wide bulkhead that later fan-out executor tasks will draw
item slots from: a single semaphore-backed limiter caps total in-flight
fan-out items across ALL batches in the process, so N concurrent workflow
instances each running a fan-out cannot multiply into N x maxDegreeOfParallelism
downstream calls. MaxConcurrentItems is validated at startup (Range + ValidateOnStart)
because a non-positive value would deadlock every fan-out batch on its first item.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(fanout): add itemsPath resolver with dot-path subset and item key extraction
* feat(fanout): add join policy evaluator (all/allSettled/quorum/firstSuccess)
Pure policy evaluation over settled FanOutItemResult batches. Quorum gets
an explicit empty-batch carve-out (succeeded=0 would otherwise fail the
threshold check against a validly-configured minSuccess>=1) so it matches
the domain rule that a no-op batch is not a failure for every policy but
firstSuccess.
* fix(fanout): remove Quorum empty-batch carve-out, align with FirstSuccess
FirstSuccess is definitionally Quorum with minSuccess=1 - same predicate,
succeeded >= threshold. The prior commit special-cased Quorum to succeed
on an empty batch while FirstSuccess still failed on the identical input,
which is an indefensible divergence between two spellings of the same
rule. Both now fail an empty batch as a direct fallout of the threshold
comparison (0 successes can never clear a threshold >= 1) with no special
casing needed. Only All/AllSettled succeed vacuously on an empty batch.
Corrects a semantics-table inconsistency caught by the coordinator.
* docs: correct fan-out empty-batch join semantics for threshold policies
firstSuccess is definitionally quorum(minSuccess=1); the original table had them
disagreeing on an empty batch. Threshold policies now uniformly fail a batch that
cannot satisfy their threshold.

* fix(fanout): propagate caller cancellation, derive TimedOut from item outcomes, keep failed-item payloads
* refactor(fanout): extract batch cancellation and error codes, flatten namespace, share the test fixture
* test(fanout): pin join policy early-stop, timeout and partial-failure behavior
* test(fanout): pin IFanOutMapping integration (item binding, single output, selector XOR, failure paths)
* feat(fanout): add structured logs, item spans and batch metrics
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(fanout): add developer guide, meta registry entry and default bulkhead config
Adds Workflow:FanOut:MaxConcurrentItems (default 64) to the Orchestration
host's appsettings.json (FanOut executor/options are only registered
there; Execution host never calls AddTaskHandlers), registers TaskType 21
in vnext-meta component-registry.json/features.json, and documents the
FanOut task end-to-end in docs/domain/fan-out-task.md (config schema,
join policies, IFanOutMapping contract, single-write invariant, error
codes, bulkhead, observability, and author-beware notes verified against
the actual executor rather than the design spec).
* fix(fanout): make itemAlias live in logs and item spans, correct its doc
itemAlias was parsed, cloned and reset but read by nothing, while its XML
doc claimed it drove default input binding and log readability. Neither was
true. Surface it as a structured field on FanOutBatchStarted and as a
vnext.fanout.item.alias span tag, falling back to a neutral "item" label when
absent or blank, and rewrite the doc to describe a reporting label only.
Default input binding is deliberately unchanged: it stays a flat
SetBody(item.Value), so no inner-task script sees a different shape.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(fanout): let a mapping override input binding without reimplementing default output
* docs(fanout): correct itemAlias and ordered claims to match shipped behavior
itemAlias became a genuine structured log field and item-span tag in
6dd83030 (log/span half), but the guide, the meta package, and the
executor's own doc comments never caught up — they still claimed the
executor reads it nowhere. Also close two design-spec deviations that
were never recorded as amendments: OutputHandler shipped optional
(4bd8941b) instead of required, and 'ordered' shipped as an accepted
no-op instead of controlling result ordering. Docs and XML comments
only; no runtime behavior changed.

* fix(scripting): keep header/route/query dictionaries typed across a parallel branch
* fix(subprocess): serialize parent correlation writes on the shared per-instance gate
* docs(fanout): correct validation split and mapping attachment point
Two defects surfaced while writing the Forge implementation spec.
The design spec's validation section still described a FanOutTaskValidator called
from WorkflowValidator, rejecting nested fan-out and the itemsPath/ItemSelector XOR
at definition time. That validator does not exist and was never built: fan-out
config lives in the task component, not the workflow document, so WorkflowValidator
never sees it. Both rules are executor preflight checks, which means publish does
not catch them and Forge Studio has to enforce them itself.
IFanOutMapping's doc comment claimed the script ships in the task's mapping field.
A type-21 component carries only type and config; the mapping rides the workflow's
task binding like every other task type.

* fix(fanout): attribute early-stop cancellations to FanOut:ItemCancelled
An item cancelled by the join policy's early stop while already inside the
task engine reported the engine's normalized exception code
(Task:Unknown:{itemTaskKey}:TaskCanceledException) instead of the documented
FanOut:ItemCancelled. Only the item cancelled before it reached the engine got
the contract code, so one batch reported two codes for one cause — and the
leaked string embeds the inner task key, so it is not even stable to match on.
FanOutErrorCodes values are public contract and authors branch on them.
MapEngineOutcome now asks FanOutBatchCancellation whether one of the batch's
own causes closed the item's window (StoppedItem — the tokens are the truth,
rather than pattern-matching error text) and re-attributes through Classify.
The two failure shapes are treated differently on purpose: an engine that did
not complete was interrupted, so our cancellation explains it; an engine that
completed and reported a task failure produced the item's own verdict, which
keeps its own code unless the failure is itself cancellation-typed.
A caller cancellation absorbed by the engine is now rethrown through the
existing when (CallerCancelled) filter, so a torn-down transition still
propagates instead of becoming N failed items.
The fixture's fake engine let the OperationCanceledException escape, which the
real engine never does — that fidelity gap is why the suite stayed green while
production leaked the code. It now swallows cancellation the way
TaskExecutionEngine's catch-all does, so every early-stop and deadline test in
the suite exercises the production shape.

* fix(definitions): publish Configure-time authoring errors as 400, not 500
A component whose own Configure rejected the authored shape came back from
POST /api/v1/definitions/publish as an opaque HTTP 500 with the exception's
message — which already names the offending value AND the supported one —
discarded. Every component validator materialises the definition from its JSON
before it can inspect it, and only JsonException was caught, so the throw
escaped to the endpoint's generic handler.
This is not a fan-out bug. It affects every task type whose Configure
validates: FanOutTask's reserved mode "durable", a non-$.-rooted itemsPath,
maxDegreeOfParallelism below 1, itemTimeoutSeconds above batchTimeoutSeconds,
quorum without minSuccess, a non-object task/execution/join; HttpTask's missing
url; SubProcessTask's and GetInstancesTask's missing trigger domain/flow.
ComponentValidatorProcessor now catches ArgumentException around the single
validator invocation and reports it as a validation error keyed
{componentType}.{paramName}, so publish answers with the existing
App:900006 validation-failure shape and one consistent contract reaches tooling
and Forge Studio. Deliberately narrow: the validator call's entire job is to
materialise a definition and look at it, so everything else — including the
processor's own NotSupportedException and any infrastructure fault — still
surfaces as a 500, pinned by a test.

* fix(api,validation): resolve the payload envelope by its field set, and stop losing schema error details (#906)
* fix(api): detect the payload envelope by its field set, not one property
Payload-mode detection keyed on a single case-sensitive `attributes`
property, but the vNext envelope is a SET of independently optional
fields (`key`, `tags`, `stage`, `attributes`). Any standard envelope
that omitted `attributes` — or spelled it with different casing — was
classified free-form and wrapped WHOLE, so a transition/start schema was
evaluated against `key`/`tags` instead of the business payload:
{"key":"K1"} -> 400 "All values fail against the false schema"
{"Attributes":{...}} -> 400, though JSON binding is case-insensitive
key=K1&tags[]=a -> same, on the form-urlencoded path
On a transition with no schema the same misdetection was silent: the
envelope was persisted as business data (`attributes.key`).
Introduce `PayloadEnvelope` as the single envelope vocabulary and have
both detectors use it — `PayloadModeDetector` (JSON) and
`FormUrlEncodedJsonElementInputFormatter` (form), which had carried
duplicated, divergent copies of the rule. Standard now means: an
`attributes` property (case-insensitive), whatever sits beside it; or a
non-empty body whose top-level fields are all envelope metadata. The
empty object keeps its existing free-form normalization.
Contract note: auto-detection now reserves `key`/`tags`/`stage` at the
top level, so a free-form payload made up solely of those names must
send `x-vnext-payload-mode: raw`. Documented.

* fix(validation): stop dropping a node's own errors when flattening
A rejected payload could come back naming no field at all:
400 {"errors":{}, "details":"{\"Culture\":\"en-US\",\"Errors\":[]}"}
`FlattenErrors` treated a node's own errors and its child details as
alternatives — recurse when there are details, otherwise take the node.
But in the hierarchical evaluation tree a keyword's error sits on the
node that OWNS the keyword, and that node gains child `Details` as soon
as the schema evaluates any subschema. So for a schema with
`additionalProperties: false` and a nested object, a root-level
`required` failure was an error on the root beside a set of valid
children: the walk descended into the valid children, added nothing, and
the only error there was got dropped.
One empty list cost the caller both symptoms at once, because

* expose scheduled transitions with persisted UTC execution time (InstanceJob.ExecuteAt) in the state response, folding job-set changes into the fingerprint ETag (shape v6)
* fix(timer): interpret Unspecified-kind scheduled DateTimes as UTC in ResolveExecuteAt
* drop scheduled-job members from the fingerprint ETag
* clean comments
* feat(telemetry): propagate workflow correlation context
* feat(observability): unify trace tree across async jobs and correlate logs via X-Request-Id
Trace side — a client's transition/start request now appears as ONE trace tree
in APM (orchestration -> background job -> pipeline -> Execution -> remote task):
- BackgroundJobActivityHelper.StartActivityContinuingTrace: immediate jobs
(flow.transition, state.notify) re-parent on the payload's TraceParent and
attach the Dapr scheduler callback span as an ActivityLink; deferred jobs
(timer/timeout/ack) keep the link-only policy so stale traces are not resurrected.
- Fix: EnqueueContinuationStrategy now stamps TraceParent/TraceState onto the
outbox TransitionContinuationRequested event (direct payload already had them).
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors) carries CorrelationId/TraceParent/TraceState;
RemoteInvokerService populates them and forwards X-Request-Id; ExecutionController
restores the trace from the body when transport propagation left no ambient
activity (transport wins on mismatch, tagged vnext.trace.mismatch).
- Task invokers skip reserved trace headers (traceparent/tracestate/baggage/
x-request-id) from binding definitions; Dapr binding/pub-sub invokers stamp the
live W3C context into operation metadata explicitly.
- ITraceableDistributedEvent on instance lifecycle events, stamped centrally by
HookedDistributedEventBus at publish time; Inbox handlers restore it via
EventTraceScope and forward X-Request-Id (DaprOrchestrationForwarder).
- Inbox/Outbox workers: tracing enabled with OTLP exporter.
- Cross-domain calls (CurrentUserForwardHeadersHelper) stamp X-Root-Instance-Id
from baggage and X-Request-Id from the correlation provider.
Log side — start -> state/view/schema/data chain is now queryable end to end:
- InstanceStarted (EventId 20008) emitted while the start HTTP request is live,
closing the X-Request-Id <-> instance-id join without a client-supplied id.
- InstanceQueryAppService.BeginInstanceScope: per-request log scope + activity
tags (instance id/key, flow, domain) on the read/function path, resolving the
route token to the real instance id.
- TransitionJobHandler restores the captured x-request-id into
ICorrelationIdProvider for the duration of the job.
Config:
- Remove hardcoded Telemetry:Otlp from appsettings — Aether prefers config over
env, so the value silently overrode OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT in containers;
env files now point at otel-collector:4318 (http/protobuf).
- Explicit Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel=Business in both hosts.
- New guide: docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md (APISIX contract,
trace-continuation semantics, reserved-header rule).

* fix(telemetry): reconcile correlation.id and request id after PR #879 merge
PR #879 (workflow correlation context) and the X-Request-Id correlation work
overlapped on one field with two meanings: TaskTraceContext.CorrelationId was
populated with the request id but consumed as the business correlation
(X-Correlation-Id header, correlation.id tag) — so correlation.id carried the
request id on the Execution side while carrying the execution GUID on the
orchestration side, and X-Correlation-Id had a different source per hop.
Reconciliation — one identity per carrier:
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors): new RequestId field. CorrelationId is
the business correlation only. RemoteInvokerService sends X-Request-Id from
RequestId and X-Correlation-Id from CorrelationId; ExecutionController tags
correlation.id from CorrelationId and vnext.request.id from RequestId.
CreateTraceContext reads the business correlation from correlation.id
baggage, falling back to the current trace id.
- correlation.id is now CHAIN-STABLE: TransitionExecutor.EnrichTelemetry
publishes correlation.id + workflow.instance.id tags and baggage for every
pipeline run (sync included — previously async-accept only), and the id is
carried across async hops via TransitionJobPayload.CorrelationId and
TransitionContinuationRequested.CorrelationId, re-seeded through
TransitionInput.CorrelationId so auto-chain job hops stop minting a new
correlation per job.
- Event contracts: ITraceableDistributedEvent.CorrelationId renamed to
RequestId (it carries the X-Request-Id value) across the interface, the ten
lifecycle events, the bus stamper, EventTraceScope and inbox handler scopes —
removing the naming collision with the business correlation.
- Invoker hardening: ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders moved to InvokerHelpers and
applied by every HTTP-shaped invoker (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger); the four correlation/identity headers joined the
reserved-header guard so task bindings cannot spoof them anywhere.
- Fixed a merge artifact in ExecutionController (',AD' token) and a duplicated
CorrelationId property in the Execution-side TaskTraceContext.
- docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: carriers table rewritten around
the four distinct identities and the extended reserved-header contract.

* merge scheduled transitions into the transitions list as kind:"scheduled" entries carrying executeAtUtc — drop the separate scheduledTransitions field
* rename transition kind "stateTransition" to "manual"
* fix(tracing): stop creating pipeline-step spans in Business mode so children keep their parent
In the trace UI, TaskCoordinator.Execute / Task.Execute.* / subflow-subprocess
branches and outbound POST client spans appeared at the trace ROOT instead of
under transition/{key}. Root cause: pipeline steps created PostSharp [Trace]
aspect spans and renamed them to '[{Order}] {Step}', and Aether's Business
filter suppresses '['-prefixed spans at OnEnd (export time) — the step
Activity still existed and was Activity.Current for the whole step body, so
every child span pointed at a parent span id that was never exported and the
UI re-rooted the whole subtree.
Fix — a span Business mode would drop is now never CREATED in Business mode:
- New PipelineStepActivityHelper (ActivitySource "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline"):
starts the '[{Order}] {StepName}' step span only when DetailLevel=Verbose,
from a single wrap point in TransitionExecutor.ExecuteStepWithBoundaryAsync.
In Business mode no step Activity exists, so task, subflow, background-job
and HttpClient child spans attach directly to transition/{key}.
- Removed the [Trace] aspect and the SetDisplayName("[N] ...") rename from all
pipeline steps (the per-step aspect+rename pair is replaced by the central
helper).
- ActivityExtensions.SetDisplayName: removed the dead step-guard whose comment
described a suppression model Aether does not implement (the filter acts at
OnEnd, not at creation); documented the creation rule instead.
- PostCommitExecutor: each post-commit job now runs under an always-exported
'PostCommit.{JobType}' business span so subflow/subprocess starts have a
visible parent in the trace.
- AdditionalSources: registered "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline" in both hosts.
- docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: documented the creation rule and
added the re-rooted-spans troubleshooting entry.

* feat(tracing): make sub/act_sub fill-if-absent on outbound task calls
The identity claims are token-derived defaults, not vNext-owned workflow
context: when a developer sets sub/act_sub explicitly in a task binding's
input mapping, that value must win; only when the binding does not set them
should the platform fill them from the gateway token.
- InvokerHelpers: sub/act_sub removed from the reserved-header guard so
binding-provided values flow through every remote invoker's header copy;
ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders no longer removes them and only adds the
baggage values when the header is absent. X-Workflow-Instance-Id and
X-Correlation-Id stay authoritative (always overwritten from baggage).
- Applies to all HTTP-shaped invokers (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger) via the shared helper.
- Tests updated for the new precedence + new fill-from-baggage case; docs
describe the fill-if-absent rule.

* chore(telemetry): upgrade Aether to 1.0.35 and drop the enricher header prefix
Aether 1.0.35 makes the log-enricher header key prefix configurable
(burgan-tech/aether#92). Set RequestHeaderKeyPrefix to "" in every host so the
enriched headers land as bare fields — sub, act_sub, jti, role,
x_parent_instance_id, user_agent, x_request_id — instead of RequestHeader.*,
which OpenObserve/Elasticsearch surface as requestheader_act_sub once they
lowercase the key and flatten the dot.
The response prefix keeps its ResponseHeader. default so a header present on
both request and response cannot collapse onto a single field.
Docs: new "Log enricher field names" section covering the field naming, the
backend normalization behind it, and the enricher's inbound-request-only scope.

* refactor(telemetry): drop duplicate sub/act_sub from the Execution log scope
With the enricher header prefix removed, the enricher emits the identity
claims as bare fields (sub, act_sub). ExecutionController's log scope carried
the same two values under sub and act.sub — and act.sub flattens to act_sub in
the log backend — so every task-invoke log record ended up with each claim
twice, from the same TaskTraceContext source.
The enricher is the wider emitter (every log record of the request, not just
the invoke block) and RemoteInvokerService forwards the headers on every call,
so the scope copy is pure duplication. Removed it; the claims remain span tags
and baggage, which are a different signal and unaffected.

* Add OTLP config to host appsettings
Add an "Otlp" settings block (Endpoint: http://localhost:4318, Protocol: http/protobuf) to appsettings.json for Execution, Orchestration, Monitoring, DbMigrator, Inbox and Outbox hosts. Provides a concrete OTLP endpoint/protocol for the existing EnableOtlpExporter tracing configuration so services can send telemetry to a local OpenTelemetry collector.
* feat(telemetry): stamp the originating request id on every log record in every service
Answering "I sent X-Request-Id on a transition — is it on all logs?": it was not,
and where it appeared it could be wrong. Aether's header enricher reads only the
CURRENT inbound request's headers, so it is silent wherever there is no
HttpContext (the Outbox worker, background work) — and on requests the platform
originates itself (Dapr job callbacks, Dapr pub/sub deliveries) the correlation
middleware generates an id from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier and writes it back
into the request headers, so the enricher reported a fabricated x_request_id that
looked exactly like a real client id. Filtering a dashboard on it silently
dropped the async half of every flow.
Meanwhile ICorrelationIdProvider — which the platform already populates at every
entry point, including our TransitionJobHandler and EventTraceScope restores —
was write-only: nothing read it for logging.
- New RequestIdLogProcessor (HttpApi.Shared) stamps vnext.request.id from
ICorrelationIdProvider onto every log record, with no HttpContext dependency
and without duplicating a value a scope or log parameter already supplied.
Registered once in the shared AddTelemetry via Aether's ConfigureLogging seam,
so it covers orchestration, execution, monitoring, inbox, outbox and migrator.
- StateNotifyJobHandler now restores the captured request id into the provider
(it read the header but never applied it).
- Removed X-Request-Id from Enrichers:Headers in all hosts, so the fabricated
x_request_id field disappears and vnext_request_id is the single source. This
also removes the stray ResponseHeader.x_request_id field.
- Removed the now-duplicate vnext.request.id entries from the job/execution/inbox
log scopes; the provider Change() calls stay as the processor's source.
- Docs: "Querying one request across all services" — the per-entry-point source
table, the two deliberate exceptions (system-triggered jobs, Outbox publish
loop) and why X-Request-Id must not be an enricher header.

* refactor(telemetry): name the request-id log field x_request_id
The global request-id field was vnext.request.id, queried as vnext_request_id
after the backend flattens the dots. The platform's own jargon for this value is
X-Request-Id, so the field is renamed to its normalized header form:
x_request_id. It deliberately carries no dot, so backends that flatten dotted
keys (OpenObserve, Elasticsearch) leave it alone and the queried name is the
same everywhere.
One constant drives the log attribute, the Execution span tag and the tests, so
logs and traces keep a single name for the value.
Because the key is now identical to what Aether's header enricher would produce
for X-Request-Id, the existing "never list that header in
Telemetry:Logging:Enrichers:Headers" rule stops being cosmetic: the enricher
runs first and would suppress the correct value with the one it fabricates from
HttpContext.TraceIdentifier on Dapr callbacks. Documented at the constant, in
the processor and in the monitoring guide, and pinned by a test so a future
rename has to be deliberate.

* feat(telemetry): filter traces by the same x_request_id as the logs
Logs already carried x_request_id on every record; spans carried it in a
single place (the Execution invoke span), and Aether's tracing header
enrichment would only ever produce it under a second, dash-bearing name
(http.request.header.x-request-id) on server spans that actually received
the header.
RequestIdSpanProcessor stamps the tag in OnStart for every span opened
inside a correlation scope, which covers all three entry points — HTTP,
transition/state-notify jobs and Inbox events. The ASP.NET Core server
span is out of its reach (instrumentation opens it before
UseCorrelationId(), so the AsyncLocal is still empty), so
ParentInstanceIdEnrichmentMiddleware tags that one; it already runs right
after the correlation middleware and already writes to Activity.Current.
Both read ICorrelationIdProvider rather than the raw header, keeping one
source for the field, and neither overwrites an existing tag.
X-Request-Id is dropped from Telemetry:Tracing:Headers in the four hosts
that listed it, so the concept has one name in a trace. The log-side trap
does not apply to that enrichment — it runs in OnStartActivity, before the
middleware can fabricate an id — this is purely about a duplicate name.

* ci: publish NuGet packages via trusted publishing instead of an API key
nuget.org's trusted publishing policy for this repository is configured, and
the long-lived key behind secrets.NUGET_API_KEY is gone — the push step was
depending on a secret that no longer works.
NuGet/login exchanges the job's OIDC token for an API key valid for one hour,
so the job needs id-token: write. The login step sits directly before the push
rather than at the top of the job: the restore and five pack steps are slow
under PostSharp, and the docs ask for the key to be requested shortly before
publishing. The push source is unchanged — the returned value is an ordinary
nuget.org key and resolves through the v3 service index as before.
The username comes from the NUGET_USER repository variable, guarded by an
explicit check because an undefined variable is silently the empty string and
would otherwise surface as an opaque token-exchange failure.
This leaves publish-npm and publish-nuget both on OIDC, with no publishing
secret left in the workflow.

* fix(transitions): reserve the subflow chain at accept, with one lock — and scope the $self profile to updateData (#884)
* ci: let a failed release be completed instead of skipped (#886)
The v0.0.80 release shipped images and a GitHub release but no NuGet
packages, and could not be repaired. Four separate reasons, all fixed here.
NUGET_USER is a repository SECRET, not a variable, so `vars.NUGET_USER` was
the empty string and publish-nuget failed its own configuration guard. The
guard now reads the secret through env rather than inlining the expression,
so the value stays masked and cannot be interpolated into the script.
Re-running the failed job could not fix it either: a re-run uses the
workflow file from the original commit, so it never sees the fix. And a
fresh run could not target 0.0.80 at all, because the stable path walks to
the first UNUSED patch version — it would have produced 0.0.81 and left
0.0.80's packages permanently missing, with images and packages on
different versions. workflow_dispatch now honours the `version` input on
the stable path, pinning the version instead of walking; re-publishing over
a shipped tag is intentional but never implicit and requires
force_publish=true. The push path is untouched and still walks.
`npm publish` fails hard on an already-published version and has no
equivalent of `dotnet nuget push --skip-duplicate`, so the re-publish run
that completed 0.0.80's NuGet packages went red on npm even though the
package was already there and nothing was missing. The version is now
checked against the registry first and the publish step is skipped rather
than failed.
Finally, the release summary linked BBT.Workflow.Modules.Scripting, which
is the project name; the project packs as BBT.Workflow.Scripting, so that
link was dead in every release summary.
Verified by simulating the version-calculation and npm-existence scripts
locally: dispatch with version+force resolves 0.0.80, dispatch without
force refuses, a branch push still resolves the next free patch, and the
npm check skips 0.0.80 while publishing an unpublished version. The
NUGET_USER and version-pinning halves are already proven in practice —
run 32025105316 published all five 0.0.80 packages with them.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree in Elastic APM (#887)
* build(docker): run Elastic APM alongside OpenObserve and load the Dapr tracing config
Production renders traces in Elastic APM, and Elastic and OpenObserve do not
draw the same waterfall from the same data: Elastic resolves nesting strictly
through parent.id and re-parents a span whose parent document is absent to the
trace root, while OpenObserve groups by trace id and keeps drawing it in place.
A trace verified only in OpenObserve therefore says nothing about production.
Adds elasticsearch, kibana and apm-server to the three compose files that
already run OpenObserve, and fans the collector's traces, metrics and logs out
to both backends so the two renderings can be compared on one request. APM
Server takes OTLP natively on 8200; it is published on 8201 because Vault
already owns 8200 on the host. Security is off and there is no secret token —
local only.
The sidecars were the missing half. Every etc/*/dapr/config.yaml already sets
samplingRate 1 and an OTLP endpoint, but daprd only reads it when started with
--config, which no compose file passed. The sidecars were creating and
propagating span ids for service invocation while exporting none of them, so
the Execution transaction's parent was a span no backend ever saw — exactly the
shape that makes Elastic re-root the Execution subtree. All sidecars now mount
their Configuration and load it.
Two adjacent fixes this uncovered: the monitoring sidecar in docker-compose.yml
mounted etc/workers/monitoring/dapr, which does not exist (dev and stage both
use etc/monitoring/dapr), so Docker created an empty directory and it ran with
no components; and containerised apps needed Telemetry__Otlp__Endpoint rather
than OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, since Aether treats configuration as stronger
than the environment and appsettings pins localhost:4318 — correct for the
host-run flow, a black hole inside a container.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree
A transition renders as one tree in Kibana only if every span between the entry point
and the remote call is actually exported. Three links were missing, each producing the
same shape: a span whose parent id was propagated but whose parent document no backend
ever received. Elastic APM re-parents such a span to the trace root, so the whole
Execution subtree — including the outbound task request — disappeared from under
`Dapr invoke vnext-execution-app`. Measured on one transition: 9 orphans of 45 spans
before, 0 after.
Dapr sidecars: the tracing block was authored under `otlp:`, a key Dapr's TracingSpec
does not have, so it was silently ignored — the sampler still initialized and the
sidecar still created and propagated span ids while exporting none of them. 7edda306
passed --config, which was necessary but not sufficient. The field is `otel`, and
`protocol` and `isSecure` are required rather than optional: Dapr builds no exporter
without an explicit protocol, and isSecure defaults to TLS, which a plaintext collector
refuses. Each was isolated by a span-arrival test — any one missing yields zero sidecar
spans. All six configs corrected.
gRPC client spans: no gRPC instrumentation was registered anywhere (Aether wires up
AspNetCore and HttpClient only), yet Grpc.Net.Client — which every Dapr.Client call goes
through — creates its activity regardless, and the System.Net.Http span nests under it.
The discriminator was exact: every HTTP/2 client span in a trace was orphaned, every
HTTP/1.1 one correctly parented. Registering OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.GrpcNetClient
exports the parent; the single AddTelemetry feeds all five hosts.
State-store and lock sidecar spans: enabling sidecar export surfaced 55 pre-existing
holes, all state-store or lock calls (GetState x47, TryLock/Unlock, SaveState). Here the
app's gRPC span is exported and correctly nested, but the HttpClient activity below it
puts its id on the wire without being exported and the sidecar parents onto that. The
collector now drops the sidecar's duplicate, which carries only its own internal handling
time and cost ~50 detached spans per transition. Scoped by instrumentation scope, not by
name — the app-side span carries the same `…/GetState` suffix and must survive. CallLocal/*
is untouched: those are the spans that reconnect Orchestration to Execution. None of the
55 had children, so dropping them orphans nothing.
The underlying HttpClient hole is not fixed and the filter is marked to be removed when it
is: the client-construction path for Aether's distributed cache and lock differs from
Dapr.Jobs/DaprClient in a way this change does not explain. Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel
stays Business throughout.

* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key and load it idempotently (#888)
* docs(scripting): design for the script ALC double-compile race
Root-causes the `Script_<hash> already loaded` FileLoadException seen on
subflow output mapping under load, and specifies the fix.
The crash needs three conditions at once: compilation is check-then-act
with no GetOrAdd, a declared helper set makes the load context shared and
long-lived, and DurablePostCommit processes every subflow completion twice.
Helpers landed in v0.0.60, which is what turned a previously harmless race
into a crash — the evaluator source is unchanged since.
Design: Lazy<T> + GetOrAdd with faulted-entry eviction (mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry), idempotent assembly load so a partial failure cannot
permanently poison a shared context, and an explicit cacheScope so the cache
key distinguishes helper sets instead of relying on a null Display.
Output-mapping double-apply is called out as a non-goal.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(subflow): correct the race's cause and add output-mapping failure classification
Two corrections to the design after reading the SubFlow terminal services.
The concurrency source is not the duplicate DurablePostCommit delivery: the
per-(parent, subInstance) lock serializes duplicates, and correlation
completion and output mapping already share one transaction, so the mapping
cannot be applied twice. Parallel *distinct* completions of the same flow are
what compile the same mapping concurrently.
That leaves the real damage, now specified as 5.4: SubflowCompletionService
treats every failed output mapping as permanent and faults the parent, so a
transient infrastructure fault terminates a healthy instance with nothing to
retry it. ApplyAsync now classifies transient vs permanent and rethrows the
transient case so the transaction rolls back and the delivery is redelivered.
The superseded reading is kept in the decisions log so it is not repeated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): close three soundness gaps in the fix design
Assembly names now carry the full cache key instead of a 16-character
prefix. The idempotent-load rule reuses an assembly by simple name, which is
only exact if the name identifies the compilation uniquely; 64 bits made it
probabilistic, and widening it costs nothing but stack-trace length.
Records the registry invariant that cacheScope depends on: a healthy
HelperSet is never evicted, so a cached Type cannot outlive its load context.
A future TTL or hot-reload policy would break this silently, so it is
documented on both HelperSet.Key and the registry's Evict.
Makes the transient classification an explicit allowlist — an unrecognised
exception stays permanent. Treating the unknown as transient would turn a
genuine mapping bug into an indefinitely redelivered poison message.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): implementation plan for the compile race and failure classification
Five independently committable tasks, each TDD-driven with the actual test
and implementation code: atomic compilation, idempotent assembly load, cache
scope, the transient/permanent classifier, and the caller comments.
Also narrows the spec's transient list to the CLR-level faults actually being
classified. Recognising transient data-access failures needs provider-specific
inspection and no evidence it occurs on this path, so it is left as a future
allowlist entry rather than widening this change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key
CompileToInstanceAsync was check-then-act: TryGetValue miss -> Roslyn
emit -> LoadFromStream -> TryAdd. Concurrent callers with the same
cache key both compiled, producing two assemblies with the identical
simple name (derived from the cache key), which a shared
AssemblyLoadContext cannot hold -> FileLoadException under load.
Mirror the GetOrAdd + Lazy<T> pattern already used by
ScriptHelperRegistry: one compile per cache key, faulted entries
evicted via TryRemove(KeyValuePair) so a transient failure isn't
replayed forever by this singleton. Compile runs under
CancellationToken.None since the result is shared by every waiter.
Also name the assembly after the whole cache key instead of a 16-char
prefix, so reuse-by-name is exact rather than probabilistic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(scripting): address Task 1 review feedback
- Give the concurrency test an actual rendezvous (Barrier(8) +
ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(16,16)) instead of relying on Task.Run to
happen to dispatch all 8 callers before the compile finishes; without
it the test could go green on a starved pool without ever racing.
- Fix cancellation docs (IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync,
ScriptEngine.CompileToInstanceAsync) to match the new behaviour: the
token gates entry only and cannot cancel a compile once it is shared
by other waiters.
- Add a TryGetValue+IsValueCreated fast path before GetOrAdd so the
capturing closure isn't allocated on every cache hit, mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry.GetOrBuildHelpers.
- Move the CompiledScript record struct to the bottom of the class and
drop the now-unused System.Reflection using.

* fix(scripting): reuse an already-loaded script assembly instead of reloading it
* test(scripting): guard the eviction-and-retry recovery path
* fix(scripting): key the script cache by load context, not just by source
Two different helper sets that export the same namespaces previously shared
one CSharpEvaluator cache entry for identical mapping source, because the
helper reference's MetadataReference.Display is null for in-memory images
and contributed nothing to GenerateCacheKey. A second flow could silently
execute the first flow's helper implementations with no exception.
Thread an explicit cacheScope (the helper set's content-hash Key) through
IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync/InvalidateScript and ScriptEngine's
CompileCoreAsync so the load context is folded into the cache key.
* test(scripting): guard the helper-set cache-scope wiring
The prior test only proved GenerateCacheKey honours a scope string; it did
not cover the actual bug, which was in ScriptEngine failing to pass one.
Deleting helperSet.Key from the CompileCoreAsync call site left every test
green.
Add a regression test that drives the real wiring (ScriptEngine ->
IScriptHelperRegistry -> IEvaluator): two helper sets export the same
namespace/type but return different values, and the same mapping source is
compiled against each through ScriptEngine. Verified it fails (second result
wrongly "A") with helperSet.Key removed, and passes with it restored.
Also add the missing negative case (two scope-less compiles still share one
cache entry), drop the pointless default on CompileCoreAsync's cacheScope
parameter, and treat an empty cacheScope the same as an absent one in
GenerateCacheKey.
* refactor(scripting): derive the cache scope from the load context
The explicit cacheScope string added in the previous commit let the scope
and the AssemblyLoadContext disagree — nothing enforced that a caller
passing loadContext also passed the matching scope, and an existing test
(Mapping_Can_Call_Referenced_Helper style call) already did exactly that.
CSharpEvaluator now derives the scope internally: a private
ConditionalWeakTable<AssemblyLoadContext, string> hands each context a
stable id on first use (Interlocked.Increment), keyed weakly so the table
is never what keeps a context alive. A null loadContext still yields a
null scope, so the no-helper path's keys are unchanged.
This removes the cacheScope parameter from IEvaluator (a NuGet-published
contract) entirely, reverts ScriptEngine.CompileCoreAsync and its call
sites to their pre-Task-3 shape, and removes HelperSet.Key along with the
invariant it required — a superseded helper set now gets a new context and
therefore a new scope automatically, with nothing to document or maintain.
GenerateCacheKey keeps its private cacheScope parameter; only the public
surface changed.

explicit-cacheScope steps are kept as the record of what was tried.

* refactor(scripting): correct the cache-scope retention comment and isolate its test
The LoadContextScopes doc claimed a superseded context's cache entries are
"stranded" and the context collected. That is wrong: _typeCache holds
CompiledScript.Context strongly for the singleton's lifetime, so a
superseded helper context and every assembly loaded into it are retained
for the process lifetime instead. Corrected the comment to say so, and
noted _typeCache as what pins it.
Also: removed a comment at GenerateCacheKey's |alc: append that duplicated
CompileToInstanceAsync's, trimmed the CreateFromImage/null-Display root
cause to its one home (GetCacheScope's doc) instead of three, collapsed the
scope id format to alc{id} (dropping the unobserved Name-based diagnostic
claim, keeping the load-bearing incrementing id), and added a note on
GetCacheScope explaining why ConditionalWeakTable's factory re-entrancy is
expected and must not be "fixed" into TryGetValue + Add.
Moved ScriptEngine_Compiles_Same_Mapping_Against_Different_Helper_Sets_
Without_Cross_Contamination, IHelperValueMapping, and BuildHelperMapping
out of SandboxedScriptingTests.cs (whose doc says its tests run without a
DI container) into a new ScriptEngineHelperSetIsolationTests.cs.

A subflow fault completes the parent correlation and then executes the

design, for the subflow's lifetime). Classify treated that entry as
Normal, so ReserveAsync rejected the expected Busy parent with
Instance:100031 and the fault surfaced as SubflowCompletionException.
Classify now maps IsErrorBoundaryTransition to OwnerReentry — the fault
callback is the continuation of the very chain that owns the Busy —
mirroring the resume path that already enters via IsInternalResume.

* feat(scripting): cache Dapr secret bundles in-process with a short TTL (#899)
* feat(scripting): cache Dapr secret bundles in-process with a short TTL
ScriptBase secret functions (GetSecret/GetSecretAsync/GetSecrets/
GetSecretsAsync) hit the vault on every call, overloading it under load.
Introduce ScriptSecretCache, a process-wide singleton that caches whole
secret bundles keyed by (storeName, secretStore) with a 30-second default
TTL, single-flight stampede protection, immediate eviction of faulted
fetches (no negative caching), and lazy TTL expiry via TimeProvider.
The cache is deliberately in-process rather than distributed so secret
material never transits Redis. Configurable via the Scripting:SecretCache
section (Enabled=false or TtlSeconds<=0 bypasses it). ScriptBase reads
through IScriptServices.SecretCache and falls back to direct Dapr access
when the cache is absent (legacy implementations and bare mocks).

* feat(scripting): serve sync GetSecret cache hits with a lock-free L1 probe
The sync GetSecret/GetSecrets wrappers delegated unconditionally to the
async path via GetAwaiter().GetResult(), which under load parks threads
even when the answer is already in memory. Add TryGetCachedSecret /
TryGetCachedBundle probes to IScriptSecretCache: a read-only, never-
blocking, never-fetching check that hits only on an already-created,
successfully completed, unexpired bundle entry. ScriptBase probes L1
first and only drops down to the blocking async path on a miss (cold,
in-flight, faulted or expired entry).
Hits are now structurally lock-free and allocation-free with no
sync-over-async involvement. Misses still block the calling thread by
nature of a synchronous API — single-flight keeps the vault at one call;
miss-heavy scripts should prefer GetSecretAsync (documented in README).
The probe never evicts; evict-and-refresh stays single-flight in the

* fix(tests): add missing using for IRelatedInstanceReader
SecretCacheOptionsBindingTests registers a substitute for
IRelatedInstanceReader, but the type lives in
BBT.Workflow.Scripting.Related and the using was never added — the whole
BBT.Workflow.Application.Tests project failed to compile with CS0246, so
none of the secret cache tests could run.
With the using in place the project builds and the 21 secret cache tests
(ScriptSecretCacheTests + SecretCacheOptionsBindingTests) pass.

* Flat trace lanes, job arming outside the status lock, and four defects found on the way (#900)
* fix(docker): give the Dapr scheduler enough tmpfs to hold its etcd store
The scheduler's etcd data dir was a 64 MB tmpfs. etcd preallocates a 64 MB WAL
segment and keeps snapshots and member data alongside it, so the store cannot fit:
the container dies with "no space left on device" and exits.
The consequence is not local to the scheduler. Once it is gone the sidecars cannot
resolve dapr-scheduler, every job arm fails, and because a failed arm only rolls
the row back to Pending — where nothing picks it up while the arming poller is
disabled — transitions stop running entirely and instances sit Busy. The local
stack could not survive a restart.
Raised to 512 MB in all five compose files. The light variants quote the value
differently, which is why they are easy to miss when grepping.

* fix(background-job): arm workflow timeout jobs instead of leaving them Pending
The timeout enqueue never passed `directly`, so it defaulted to false: the row was
persisted as Pending and the scheduler was never called. That made workflow
timeouts depend on the background-job arming poller, which is disabled
(BackgroundJob:WithHostedService = false) — so timeouts were never armed and never
fired. No exception, no log; the enqueue reported success and the row just sat
there.
Not a deliberate choice: four of the five enqueue sites in this codebase already
pass directly: true. This one was missed.
Verified against a local stack: flow.timeout rows now land Scheduled, where before
the fix every one of them stayed Pending indefinitely.

* fix(tracing): propagate trace context on notification output bindings
Dapr output bindings bypass HttpClient's DiagnosticsHandler — the sidecar
originates its own request to the component — so nothing carries a traceparent
unless it is passed as component metadata. DaprBindingTaskInvoker already did
this; the two notification dispatchers did not, so every notification left the
trace at the task boundary.
The stamping logic moves to DaprTraceMetadata, shared by the Application-layer
dispatchers. DaprBindingTaskInvoker keeps its inline copy: the Execution service
deliberately does not reference BBT.Workflow.Domain, and a layering edge is not
worth six lines. The comment there points at the shared helper.

* chore(deps): bump Aether to 1.0.36
Brings IBackgroundJobArmHandle / EnqueueWithDeferredArmAsync, which the accept
path needs to arm outside the instance status lock, plus jittered poll pacing in
the outbox, inbox and background-job arming loops.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf(workers): cap outbox and inbox idle polling at 10s instead of 60s
A 60 second ceiling put a measured 23 s of pure waiting into one observed trace
before the outbox even leased the message. Lowering the cap bounds the worst case
at 10 s; with 10 replicas per worker and the jitter Aether 1.0.36 adds, expected
pickup is around a second.
Measured idle cost of the change on one replica per worker: commits/s 0.22 -> 0.83.
Tuples and buffer hits are unchanged and blks_read stays at zero — the extra polls
return nothing, so they cost a transaction and an index probe, not data or disk.
Extrapolated to 10 replicas: roughly +6 commits/s, constant.
IdlePollingInterval and BusyPollingInterval are deliberately untouched. Idle is a
starting value, not a steady state: after a busy round the delay drops to 100 ms
and climbs from there, so a system with traffic is already responsive.

* feat(tracing): flatten trace lanes and move job arming out of the status lock
Two changes that share too many files to separate cleanly. Both come out of the
same investigation into why a single business request was hard to read and
occasionally slow.
## Flat trace lanes
A chained request produced a deeply nested trace: each auto-chained hop's
TransitionJob.Execute span was parented to the previous hop's span, so nesting
depth equalled chain depth. Measured on 22-hop traces, the deepest hop sat at
depth 53. With subflows the waterfall was unusable for finding a failure.
The cause was one field doing two jobs. The payload's TraceParent is the previous
hop — correct as a link, wrong as a parent. Splitting it fixes the shape:
TraceParent -> the predecessor, attached as an ActivityLink
TraceRoot -> the lane anchor, the actual parent
ParentTraceRoot -> the lane to return to, set only inside a subflow
The model is one lane per instance. A new lane opens only at a subflow handoff, so
a subflow's hops render flat underneath the PostCommit span that forwarded to
them, and depth grows with subflow nesting rather than chain length. After the
change the deepest hop of a 23-hop trace sits at depth 1.
All the policy lives in FlatLaneActivity. An anchor from another trace is linked
and never trusted as a parent, so a stale AsyncLocal or a relayed payload cannot
teleport a span. Absent anchor means exactly the previous behaviour, which is what
makes a rolling deploy safe in both directions. No migration: job payloads live in
the Dapr scheduler store, outbox events in a serialized blob.
Baggage could not carry the anchor. Every span here starts from an explicit
ActivityContext, which leaves Activity.Parent null, and Activity.Baggage walks
that chain — so baggage is already invisible to these spans today. Pinned by
ActivityParentContextSemanticsTests before anything was built on the assumption.
Wrapper spans that only added depth are gone: WorkflowExecutionService.Execute-
TransitionAsync, AsyncTransitionStrategy.ExecuteAsync and TaskCoordinator.Execute.
Task.Execute.{key} stays — it is the only span carrying per-task duration and the
task.failed / task.retry events. SyncTransitionStrategy keeps its [Trace]
deliberately: it stamps ActivityStatusCode.Error on its own span, and removing it
would move that onto the HTTP transaction and inflate APM error rates for ordinary
4xx business failures.
## Arming outside the status lock
The accept path held the instance status lock across the Dapr scheduler
round-trip. Measured under load, that call was essentially the entire lock hold —
arming p50 214 ms against a 198 ms median hold, p90 571 ms, worst 3.1 s — so every
other request on the same instance queued behind an external call. That breaks the
"millisecond-scale check-and-set" premise the Busy-as-mutex design rests on.
Only the row has to commit under the lock: the duplicate-job guard is a
check-then-insert with no database constraint, so the next contender must see it.
Telling Dapr does not. The accept now persists under the lock via Aether's
deferred-arm handle and arms after releasing it — one scheduler call, no job-row
read and no extra status write, because the handle carries the payload.
Auto-chain is untouched: it runs in the pipeline's ambient unit of work and holds
no status lock, so Aether already defers its arming to post-commit.
Also removes the 5 ms scheduling lead. It was not a correctness guard — arming
routinely completes after the instant it requested and Dapr fires past-due
one-shot jobs regardless (2167 observed, none lost, none redelivered) — so it only
spent latency on a path whose whole budget is ~20 ms.
## Verification
Integration, same environment, same filter, before and after: 27 passed / 3 failed
both times, the same three pre-existing MoneyTransfer failures, 67 s vs 71 s. Unit
suites sit at their pre-existing baselines (20 / 27 / 11) with 26 tests added.
Measured after: BackgroundJob.Schedule inside a held lock 0/59, from 59% before.
Lock hold p50 7.8 ms -> 2.55 ms, worst 30.1 s -> 48 ms. Every accepted transition's
job row reached Completed; none stranded in Pending.

docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md, which described the old parenting.

* feat(fanout): FanOutTask (type 21) — dynamic parallel task execution with single-write join (#905)
* docs: add FanOutTask (type 21) design spec for dynamic parallel task execution
Approved brainstorming output: inline scatter-gather fan-out over a runtime
collection (itemsPath/ItemsSelector), four join policies, per-item error
boundary, single-writer output via one OutputHandler call, task-level maxDop
plus a process-level global bulkhead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add FanOutTask implementation plan and spec amendments
13 bite-sized TDD tasks grounded in actual engine/executor signatures:
TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only item execution, FanOutTaskExecutor
with bounded parallel loop and join policies, global bulkhead, observability,
meta/docs updates and the vnext-example integration scenario.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(domain): add FanOutTask (type 21) definition with config parsing
Adds TaskType.FanOut, registers the polymorphic discriminator "21" on
WorkflowTask, and introduces FanOutTask: inline-mode-only fan-out over a
runtime-resolved item collection, running a referenced inner task per item
with configurable parallelism, timeouts, and join policy (all/allSettled/
quorum/firstSuccess). Config validation is fail-fast via ArgumentException
inside Configure(), mirroring SubProcessTask. Executor, mapping contract,
and DI wiring are deliberately out of scope for this change.
* test(domain): close FanOutTask validation coverage gaps
Adds InlineData rows to Configure_Should_Reject_Invalid_Config covering
three guards that were implemented but unpinned by tests:
- task reference present but missing a required subfield (version omitted)
- task reference present but a required subfield is empty string (version: "")
- zero/negative itemTimeoutSeconds (the positive-timeout guard, distinct
from the existing itemTimeoutSeconds > batchTimeoutSeconds case)
- an unparseable join.policy string ("bogus")
No implementation changes; FanOutTask.cs is untouched.
* fix(domain): reject numeric/malformed FanOutTask config values
Two defects fixed, each pinned by a failing test first:
- join.policy accepted any numeric string via Enum.TryParse succeeding on
undefined values (e.g. "0", "99"), deferring the failure to wherever
runtime code switches on JoinPolicy. Now requires Enum.IsDefined too.
- Non-object task/execution/join (e.g. task: "oops", execution: [],
join: []) leaked a raw InvalidOperationException from JsonElement
instead of ArgumentException naming the offending property, unlike the
existing errorBoundary ValueKind guard. Applied the same ValueKind ==
JsonValueKind.Object check to all three.
Also: XML doc comments on the five public consts; Clone/Reset test now
asserts all 12 properties in both directions instead of 3, using a config
that populates quorum+minSuccess and errorBoundary so the assertions are
not vacuously true on shared nulls; added positive coverage for the valid
quorum path and for errorBoundary parsing actually populating OnError.
* feat(domain): add IFanOutMapping contract with FanOutItem/FanOutResult records
* feat(engine): add TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only execution (suppress data apply, journal key override, prepared task, response capture)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(engine): address code review on TaskEngineExecutionOptions
- Assert a non-Flow origin in the Origin propagation test; Flow was the
fallback value, so the assertion could not fail.
- Make TaskExecutorContext.Origin required and update the four test call
sites; a defaulted parameter silently mislabels non-Flow executions.
- Document PreparedTask's retry lifetime (same instance reused across
attempts, unlike the factory path) and pin it with a retry test.
- Correct the TasksExecutionResult.Response doc: boundary-handled
failures also drop the response, not just infrastructure errors.
- Brace the two new CaptureResponse if statements.

* feat(fanout): add FanOutOptions and process-level concurrency bulkhead
Adds the process-wide bulkhead that later fan-out executor tasks will draw
item slots from: a single semaphore-backed limiter caps total in-flight
fan-out items across ALL batches in the process, so N concurrent workflow
instances each running a fan-out cannot multiply into N x maxDegreeOfParallelism
downstream calls. MaxConcurrentItems is validated at startup (Range + ValidateOnStart)
because a non-positive value would deadlock every fan-out batch on its first item.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(fanout): add itemsPath resolver with dot-path subset and item key extraction
* feat(fanout): add join policy evaluator (all/allSettled/quorum/firstSuccess)
Pure policy evaluation over settled FanOutItemResult batches. Quorum gets
an explicit empty-batch carve-out (succeeded=0 would otherwise fail the
threshold check against a validly-configured minSuccess>=1) so it matches
the domain rule that a no-op batch is not a failure for every policy but
firstSuccess.
* fix(fanout): remove Quorum empty-batch carve-out, align with FirstSuccess
FirstSuccess is definitionally Quorum with minSuccess=1 - same predicate,
succeeded >= threshold. The prior commit special-cased Quorum to succeed
on an empty batch while FirstSuccess still failed on the identical input,
which is an indefensible divergence between two spellings of the same
rule. Both now fail an empty batch as a direct fallout of the threshold
comparison (0 successes can never clear a threshold >= 1) with no special
casing needed. Only All/AllSettled succeed vacuously on an empty batch.
Corrects a semantics-table inconsistency caught by the coordinator.
* docs: correct fan-out empty-batch join semantics for threshold policies
firstSuccess is definitionally quorum(minSuccess=1); the original table had them
disagreeing on an empty batch. Threshold policies now uniformly fail a batch that
cannot satisfy their threshold.

* feat(fanout): add FanOutTaskExecutor with bounded parallel item execution and single-output join
* fix(fanout): propagate caller cancellation, derive TimedOut from item outcomes, keep failed-item payloads
* refactor(fanout): extract batch cancellation and error codes, flatten namespace, share the test fixture
* test(fanout): pin join policy early-stop, timeout and partial-failure behavior
* test(fanout): pin IFanOutMapping integration (item binding, single output, selector XOR, failure paths)
* feat(fanout): add structured logs, item spans and batch metrics
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(fanout): add developer guide, meta registry entry and default bulkhead config
Adds Workflow:FanOut:MaxConcurrentItems (default 64) to the Orchestration
host's appsettings.json (FanOut executor/options are only registered
there; Execution host never calls AddTaskHandlers), registers TaskType 21
in vnext-meta component-registry.json/features.json, and documents the
FanOut task end-to-end in docs/domain/fan-out-task.md (config schema,
join policies, IFanOutMapping contract, single-write invariant, error
codes, bulkhead, observability, and author-beware notes verified against
the actual executor rather than the design spec).
* fix(fanout): make itemAlias live in logs and item spans, correct its doc
itemAlias was parsed, cloned and reset but read by nothing, while its XML
doc claimed it drove default input binding and log readability. Neither was
true. Surface it as a structured field on FanOutBatchStarted and as a
vnext.fanout.item.alias span tag, falling back to a neutral "item" label when
absent or blank, and rewrite the doc to describe a reporting label only.
Default input binding is deliberately unchanged: it stays a flat
SetBody(item.Value), so no inner-task script sees a different shape.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(fanout): let a mapping override input binding without reimplementing default output
* docs(fanout): correct itemAlias and ordered claims to match shipped behavior
itemAlias became a genuine structured log field and item-span tag in
6dd83030 (log/span half), but the guide, the meta package, and the
executor's own doc comments never caught up — they still claimed the
executor reads it nowhere. Also close two design-spec deviations that
were never recorded as amendments: OutputHandler shipped optional
(4bd8941b) instead of required, and 'ordered' shipped as an accepted
no-op instead of controlling result ordering. Docs and XML comments
only; no runtime behavior changed.

* fix(scripting): keep header/route/query dictionaries typed across a parallel branch
* fix(subprocess): serialize parent correlation writes on the shared per-instance gate
* docs(fanout): correct validation split and mapping attachment point
Two defects surfaced while writing the Forge implementation spec.
The design spec's validation section still described a FanOutTaskValidator called
from WorkflowValidator, rejecting nested fan-out and the itemsPath/ItemSelector XOR
at definition time. That validator does not exist and was never built: fan-out
config lives in the task component, not the workflow document, so WorkflowValidator
never sees it. Both rules are executor preflight checks, which means publish does
not catch them and Forge Studio has to enforce them itself.
IFanOutMapping's doc comment claimed the script ships in the task's mapping field.
A type-21 component carries only type and config; the mapping rides the workflow's
task binding like every other task type.

* fix(fanout): attribute early-stop cancellations to FanOut:ItemCancelled
An item cancelled by the join policy's early stop while already inside the
task engine reported the engine's normalized exception code
(Task:Unknown:{itemTaskKey}:TaskCanceledException) instead of the documented
FanOut:ItemCancelled. Only the item cancelled before it reached the engine got
the contract code, so one batch reported two codes for one cause — and the
leaked string embeds the inner task key, so it is not even stable to match on.
FanOutErrorCodes values are public contract and authors branch on them.
MapEngineOutcome now asks FanOutBatchCancellation whether one of the batch's
own causes closed the item's window (StoppedItem — the tokens are the truth,
rather than pattern-matching error text) and re-attributes through Classify.
The two failure shapes are treated differently on purpose: an engine that did
not complete was interrupted, so our cancellation explains it; an engine that
completed and reported a task failure produced the item's own verdict, which
keeps its own code unless the failure is itself cancellation-typed.
A caller cancellation absorbed by the engine is now rethrown through the
existing when (CallerCancelled) filter, so a torn-down transition still
propagates instead of becoming N failed items.
The fixture's fake engine let the OperationCanceledException escape, which the
real engine never does — that fidelity gap is why the suite stayed green while
production leaked the code. It now swallows cancellation the way
TaskExecutionEngine's catch-all does, so every early-stop and deadline test in
the suite exercises the production shape.

* fix(definitions): publish Configure-time authoring errors as 400, not 500
A component whose own Configure rejected the authored shape came back from
POST /api/v1/definitions/publish as an opaque HTTP 500 with the exception's
message — which already names the offending value AND the supported one —
discarded. Every component validator materialises the definition from its JSON
before it can inspect it, and only JsonException was caught, so the throw
escaped to the endpoint's generic handler.
This is not a fan-out bug. It affects every task type whose Configure
validates: FanOutTask's reserved mode "durable", a non-$.-rooted itemsPath,
maxDegreeOfParallelism below 1, itemTimeoutSeconds above batchTimeoutSeconds,
quorum without minSuccess, a non-object task/execution/join; HttpTask's missing
url; SubProcessTask's and GetInstancesTask's missing trigger domain/flow.
ComponentValidatorProcessor now catches ArgumentException around the single
validator invocation and reports it as a validation error keyed
{componentType}.{paramName}, so publish answers with the existing
App:900006 validation-failure shape and one consistent contract reaches tooling
and Forge Studio. Deliberately narrow: the validator call's entire job is to
materialise a definition and look at it, so everything else — including the
processor's own NotSupportedException and any infrastructure fault — still
surfaces as a 500, pinned by a test.

* fix(api,validation): resolve the payload envelope by its field set, and stop losing schema error details (#906)
* fix(api): detect the payload envelope by its field set, not one property
Payload-mode detection keyed on a single case-sensitive `attributes`
property, but the vNext envelope is a SET of independently optional
fields (`key`, `tags`, `stage`, `attributes`). Any standard envelope
that omitted `attributes` — or spelled it with different casing — was
classified free-form and wrapped WHOLE, so a transition/start schema was
evaluated against `key`/`tags` instead of the business payload:
{"key":"K1"} -> 400 "All values fail against the false schema"
{"Attributes":{...}} -> 400, though JSON binding is case-insensitive
key=K1&tags[]=a -> same, on the form-urlencoded path
On a transition with no schema the same misdetection was silent: the
envelope was persisted as business data (`attributes.key`).
Introduce `PayloadEnvelope` as the single envelope vocabulary and have
both detectors use it — `PayloadModeDetector` (JSON) and
`FormUrlEncodedJsonElementInputFormatter` (form), which had carried
duplicated, divergent copies of the rule. Standard now means: an
`attributes` property (case-insensitive), whatever sits beside it; or a
non-empty body whose top-level fields are all envelope metadata. The
empty object keeps its existing free-form normalization.
Contract note: auto-detection now reserves `key`/`tags`/`stage` at the
top level, so a free-form payload made up solely of those names must
send `x-vnext-payload-mode: raw`. Documented.

* fix(validation): stop dropping a node's own errors when flattening
A rejected payload could come back naming no field at all:
400 {"errors":{}, "details":"{\"Culture\":\"en-US\",\"Errors\":[]}"}
`FlattenErrors` treated a node's own errors and its child details as
alternatives — recurse when there are details, otherwise take the node.
But in the hierarchical evaluation tree a keyword's error sits on the
node that OWNS the keyword, and that node gains child `Details` as soon
as the schema evaluates any subschema. So for a schema with
`additionalProperties: false` and a nested object, a root-level
`required` failure was an error on the root beside a set of valid
children: the walk descended into the valid children, added nothing, and
the only error there was got dropped.
One empty list cost the caller both symptoms at once, because

* expose scheduled transitions with persisted UTC execution time (InstanceJob.ExecuteAt) in the state response, folding job-set changes into the fingerprint ETag (shape v6)
* fix(timer): interpret Unspecified-kind scheduled DateTimes as UTC in ResolveExecuteAt
* drop scheduled-job members from the fingerprint ETag
* clean comments
* feat(telemetry): propagate workflow correlation context
* feat(observability): unify trace tree across async jobs and correlate logs via X-Request-Id
Trace side — a client's transition/start request now appears as ONE trace tree
in APM (orchestration -> background job -> pipeline -> Execution -> remote task):
- BackgroundJobActivityHelper.StartActivityContinuingTrace: immediate jobs
(flow.transition, state.notify) re-parent on the payload's TraceParent and
attach the Dapr scheduler callback span as an ActivityLink; deferred jobs
(timer/timeout/ack) keep the link-only policy so stale traces are not resurrected.
- Fix: EnqueueContinuationStrategy now stamps TraceParent/TraceState onto the
outbox TransitionContinuationRequested event (direct payload already had them).
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors) carries CorrelationId/TraceParent/TraceState;
RemoteInvokerService populates them and forwards X-Request-Id; ExecutionController
restores the trace from the body when transport propagation left no ambient
activity (transport wins on mismatch, tagged vnext.trace.mismatch).
- Task invokers skip reserved trace headers (traceparent/tracestate/baggage/
x-request-id) from binding definitions; Dapr binding/pub-sub invokers stamp the
live W3C context into operation metadata explicitly.
- ITraceableDistributedEvent on instance lifecycle events, stamped centrally by
HookedDistributedEventBus at publish time; Inbox handlers restore it via
EventTraceScope and forward X-Request-Id (DaprOrchestrationForwarder).
- Inbox/Outbox workers: tracing enabled with OTLP exporter.
- Cross-domain calls (CurrentUserForwardHeadersHelper) stamp X-Root-Instance-Id
from baggage and X-Request-Id from the correlation provider.
Log side — start -> state/view/schema/data chain is now queryable end to end:
- InstanceStarted (EventId 20008) emitted while the start HTTP request is live,
closing the X-Request-Id <-> instance-id join without a client-supplied id.
- InstanceQueryAppService.BeginInstanceScope: per-request log scope + activity
tags (instance id/key, flow, domain) on the read/function path, resolving the
route token to the real instance id.
- TransitionJobHandler restores the captured x-request-id into
ICorrelationIdProvider for the duration of the job.
Config:
- Remove hardcoded Telemetry:Otlp from appsettings — Aether prefers config over
env, so the value silently overrode OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT in containers;
env files now point at otel-collector:4318 (http/protobuf).
- Explicit Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel=Business in both hosts.
- New guide: docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md (APISIX contract,
trace-continuation semantics, reserved-header rule).

* fix(telemetry): reconcile correlation.id and request id after PR #879 merge
PR #879 (workflow correlation context) and the X-Request-Id correlation work
overlapped on one field with two meanings: TaskTraceContext.CorrelationId was
populated with the request id but consumed as the business correlation
(X-Correlation-Id header, correlation.id tag) — so correlation.id carried the
request id on the Execution side while carrying the execution GUID on the
orchestration side, and X-Correlation-Id had a different source per hop.
Reconciliation — one identity per carrier:
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors): new RequestId field. CorrelationId is
the business correlation only. RemoteInvokerService sends X-Request-Id from
RequestId and X-Correlation-Id from CorrelationId; ExecutionController tags
correlation.id from CorrelationId and vnext.request.id from RequestId.
CreateTraceContext reads the business correlation from correlation.id
baggage, falling back to the current trace id.
- correlation.id is now CHAIN-STABLE: TransitionExecutor.EnrichTelemetry
publishes correlation.id + workflow.instance.id tags and baggage for every
pipeline run (sync included — previously async-accept only), and the id is
carried across async hops via TransitionJobPayload.CorrelationId and
TransitionContinuationRequested.CorrelationId, re-seeded through
TransitionInput.CorrelationId so auto-chain job hops stop minting a new
correlation per job.
- Event contracts: ITraceableDistributedEvent.CorrelationId renamed to
RequestId (it carries the X-Request-Id value) across the interface, the ten
lifecycle events, the bus stamper, EventTraceScope and inbox handler scopes —
removing the naming collision with the business correlation.
- Invoker hardening: ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders moved to InvokerHelpers and
applied by every HTTP-shaped invoker (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger); the four correlation/identity headers joined the
reserved-header guard so task bindings cannot spoof them anywhere.
- Fixed a merge artifact in ExecutionController (',AD' token) and a duplicated
CorrelationId property in the Execution-side TaskTraceContext.
- docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: carriers table rewritten around
the four distinct identities and the extended reserved-header contract.

* merge scheduled transitions into the transitions list as kind:"scheduled" entries carrying executeAtUtc — drop the separate scheduledTransitions field
* rename transition kind "stateTransition" to "manual"
* fix(tracing): stop creating pipeline-step spans in Business mode so children keep their parent
In the trace UI, TaskCoordinator.Execute / Task.Execute.* / subflow-subprocess
branches and outbound POST client spans appeared at the trace ROOT instead of
under transition/{key}. Root cause: pipeline steps created PostSharp [Trace]
aspect spans and renamed them to '[{Order}] {Step}', and Aether's Business
filter suppresses '['-prefixed spans at OnEnd (export time) — the step
Activity still existed and was Activity.Current for the whole step body, so
every child span pointed at a parent span id that was never exported and the
UI re-rooted the whole subtree.
Fix — a span Business mode would drop is now never CREATED in Business mode:
- New PipelineStepActivityHelper (ActivitySource "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline"):
starts the '[{Order}] {StepName}' step span only when DetailLevel=Verbose,
from a single wrap point in TransitionExecutor.ExecuteStepWithBoundaryAsync.
In Business mode no step Activity exists, so task, subflow, background-job
and HttpClient child spans attach directly to transition/{key}.
- Removed the [Trace] aspect and the SetDisplayName("[N] ...") rename from all
pipeline steps (the per-step aspect+rename pair is replaced by the central
helper).
- ActivityExtensions.SetDisplayName: removed the dead step-guard whose comment
described a suppression model Aether does not implement (the filter acts at
OnEnd, not at creation); documented the creation rule instead.
- PostCommitExecutor: each post-commit job now runs under an always-exported
'PostCommit.{JobType}' business span so subflow/subprocess starts have a
visible parent in the trace.

* feat(tracing): make sub/act_sub fill-if-absent on outbound task calls
The identity claims are token-derived defaults, not vNext-owned workflow
context: when a developer sets sub/act_sub explicitly in a task binding's
input mapping, that value must win; only when the binding does not set them
should the platform fill them from the gateway token.
- InvokerHelpers: sub/act_sub removed from the reserved-header guard so
binding-provided values flow through every remote invoker's header copy;
ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders no longer removes them and only adds the
baggage values when the header is absent. X-Workflow-Instance-Id and
X-Correlation-Id stay authoritative (always overwritten from baggage).
- Applies to all HTTP-shaped invokers (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger) via the shared helper.
- Tests updated for the new precedence + new fill-from-baggage case; docs
describe the fill-if-absent rule.

* chore(telemetry): upgrade Aether to 1.0.35 and drop the enricher header prefix
Aether 1.0.35 makes the log-enricher header key prefix configurable
(burgan-tech/aether#92). Set RequestHeaderKeyPrefix to "" in every host so the
enriched headers land as bare fields — sub, act_sub, jti, role,
x_parent_instance_id, user_agent, x_request_id — instead of RequestHeader.*,
which OpenObserve/Elasticsearch surface as requestheader_act_sub once they
lowercase the key and flatten the dot.
The response prefix keeps its ResponseHeader. default so a header present on
both request and response cannot collapse onto a single field.
Docs: new "Log enricher field names" section covering the field naming, the
backend normalization behind it, and the enricher's inbound-request-only scope.

* refactor(telemetry): drop duplicate sub/act_sub from the Execution log scope
With the enricher header prefix removed, the enricher emits the identity
claims as bare fields (sub, act_sub). ExecutionController's log scope carried
the same two values under sub and act.sub — and act.sub flattens to act_sub in
the log backend — so every task-invoke log record ended up with each claim
twice, from the same TaskTraceContext source.
The enricher is the wider emitter (every log record of the request, not just
the invoke block) and RemoteInvokerService forwards the headers on every call,
so the scope copy is pure duplication. Removed it; the claims remain span tags
and baggage, which are a different signal and unaffected.

* Add OTLP config to host appsettings
Add an "Otlp" settings block (Endpoint: http://localhost:4318, Protocol: http/protobuf) to appsettings.json for Execution, Orchestration, Monitoring, DbMigrator, Inbox and Outbox hosts. Provides a concrete OTLP endpoint/protocol for the existing EnableOtlpExporter tracing configuration so services can send telemetry to a local OpenTelemetry collector.
* feat(telemetry): stamp the originating request id on every log record in every service
Answering "I sent X-Request-Id on a transition — is it on all logs?": it was not,
and where it appeared it could be wrong. Aether's header enricher reads only the
CURRENT inbound request's headers, so it is silent wherever there is no
HttpContext (the Outbox worker, background work) — and on requests the platform
originates itself (Dapr job callbacks, Dapr pub/sub deliveries) the correlation
middleware generates an id from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier and writes it back
into the request headers, so the enricher reported a fabricated x_request_id that
looked exactly like a real client id. Filtering a dashboard on it silently
dropped the async half of every flow.
Meanwhile ICorrelationIdProvider — which the platform already populates at every
entry point, including our TransitionJobHandler and EventTraceScope restores —
was write-only: nothing read it for logging.
- New RequestIdLogProcessor (HttpApi.Shared) stamps vnext.request.id from
ICorrelationIdProvider onto every log record, with no HttpContext dependency
and without duplicating a value a scope or log parameter already supplied.
Registered once in the shared AddTelemetry via Aether's ConfigureLogging seam,
so it covers orchestration, execution, monitoring, inbox, outbox and migrator.
- StateNotifyJobHandler now restores the captured request id into the provider
(it read the header but never applied it).
- Removed X-Request-Id from Enrichers:Headers in all hosts, so the fabricated
x_request_id field disappears and vnext_request_id is the single source. This
also removes the stray ResponseHeader.x_request_id field.
- Removed the now-duplicate vnext.request.id entries from the job/execution/inbox
log scopes; the provider Change() calls stay as the processor's source.
- Docs: "Querying one request across all services" — the per-entry-point source
table, the two deliberate exceptions (system-triggered jobs, Outbox publish
loop) and why X-Request-Id must not be an enricher header.

* refactor(telemetry): name the request-id log field x_request_id
The global request-id field was vnext.request.id, queried as vnext_request_id
after the backend flattens the dots. The platform's own jargon for this value is
X-Request-Id, so the field is renamed to its normalized header form:
x_request_id. It deliberately carries no dot, so backends that flatten dotted
keys (OpenObserve, Elasticsearch) leave it alone and the queried name is the
same everywhere.
One constant drives the log attribute, the Execution span tag and the tests, so
logs and traces keep a single name for the value.
Because the key is now identical to what Aether's header enricher would produce
for X-Request-Id, the existing "never list that header in
Telemetry:Logging:Enrichers:Headers" rule stops being cosmetic: the enricher
runs first and would suppress the correct value with the one it fabricates from
HttpContext.TraceIdentifier on Dapr callbacks. Documented at the constant, in
the processor and in the monitoring guide, and pinned by a test so a future
rename has to be deliberate.

* feat(telemetry): filter traces by the same x_request_id as the logs
Logs already carried x_request_id on every record; spans carried it in a
single place (the Execution invoke span), and Aether's tracing header
enrichment would only ever produce it under a second, dash-bearing name
(http.request.header.x-request-id) on server spans that actually received
the header.
RequestIdSpanProcessor stamps the tag in OnStart for every span opened
inside a correlation scope, which covers all three entry points — HTTP,
transition/state-notify jobs and Inbox events. The ASP.NET Core server
span is out of its reach (instrumentation opens it before
UseCorrelationId(), so the AsyncLocal is still empty), so
ParentInstanceIdEnrichmentMiddleware tags that one; it already runs right
after the correlation middleware and already writes to Activity.Current.
Both read ICorrelationIdProvider rather than the raw header, keeping one
source for the field, and neither overwrites an existing tag.
X-Request-Id is dropped from Telemetry:Tracing:Headers in the four hosts
that listed it, so the concept has one name in a trace. The log-side trap
does not apply to that enrichment — it runs in OnStartActivity, before the
middleware can fabricate an id — this is purely about a duplicate name.

* ci: publish NuGet packages via trusted publishing instead of an API key
nuget.org's trusted publishing policy for this repository is configured, and
the long-lived key behind secrets.NUGET_API_KEY is gone — the push step was
depending on a secret that no longer works.
NuGet/login exchanges the job's OIDC token for an API key valid for one hour,
so the job needs id-token: write. The login step sits directly before the push
rather than at the top of the job: the restore and five pack steps are slow
under PostSharp, and the docs ask for the key to be requested shortly before
publishing. The push source is unchanged — the returned value is an ordinary
nuget.org key and resolves through the v3 service index as before.
The username comes from the NUGET_USER repository variable, guarded by an
explicit check because an undefined variable is silently the empty string and
would otherwise surface as an opaque token-exchange failure.
This leaves publish-npm and publish-nuget both on OIDC, with no publishing
secret left in the workflow.

* fix(transitions): reserve the subflow chain at accept, with one lock — and scope the $self profile to updateData (#884)
* ci: let a failed release be completed instead of skipped (#886)
The v0.0.80 release shipped images and a GitHub release but no NuGet
packages, and could not be repaired. Four separate reasons, all fixed here.
NUGET_USER is a repository SECRET, not a variable, so `vars.NUGET_USER` was
the empty string and publish-nuget failed its own configuration guard. The
guard now reads the secret through env rather than inlining the expression,
so the value stays masked and cannot be interpolated into the script.
Re-running the failed job could not fix it either: a re-run uses the
workflow file from the original commit, so it never sees the fix. And a
fresh run could not target 0.0.80 at all, because the stable path walks to
the first UNUSED patch version — it would have produced 0.0.81 and left
0.0.80's packages permanently missing, with images and packages on
different versions. workflow_dispatch now honours the `version` input on
the stable path, pinning the version instead of walking; re-publishing over
a shipped tag is intentional but never implicit and requires
force_publish=true. The push path is untouched and still walks.
`npm publish` fails hard on an already-published version and has no
equivalent of `dotnet nuget push --skip-duplicate`, so the re-publish run
that completed 0.0.80's NuGet packages went red on npm even though the
package was already there and nothing was missing. The version is now
checked against the registry first and the publish step is skipped rather
than failed.
Finally, the release summary linked BBT.Workflow.Modules.Scripting, which
is the project name; the project packs as BBT.Workflow.Scripting, so that
link was dead in every release summary.
Verified by simulating the version-calculation and npm-existence scripts
locally: dispatch with version+force resolves 0.0.80, dispatch without
force refuses, a branch push still resolves the next free patch, and the
npm check skips 0.0.80 while publishing an unpublished version. The
NUGET_USER and version-pinning halves are already proven in practice —
run 32025105316 published all five 0.0.80 packages with them.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree in Elastic APM (#887)
* build(docker): run Elastic APM alongside OpenObserve and load the Dapr tracing config
Production renders traces in Elastic APM, and Elastic and OpenObserve do not
draw the same waterfall from the same data: Elastic resolves nesting strictly
through parent.id and re-parents a span whose parent document is absent to the
trace root, while OpenObserve groups by trace id and keeps drawing it in place.
A trace verified only in OpenObserve therefore says nothing about production.
Adds elasticsearch, kibana and apm-server to the three compose files that
already run OpenObserve, and fans the collector's traces, metrics and logs out
to both backends so the two renderings can be compared on one request. APM
Server takes OTLP natively on 8200; it is published on 8201 because Vault
already owns 8200 on the host. Security is off and there is no secret token —
local only.
The sidecars were the missing half. Every etc/*/dapr/config.yaml already sets
samplingRate 1 and an OTLP endpoint, but daprd only reads it when started with
--config, which no compose file passed. The sidecars were creating and
propagating span ids for service invocation while exporting none of them, so
the Execution transaction's parent was a span no backend ever saw — exactly the
shape that makes Elastic re-root the Execution subtree. All sidecars now mount
their Configuration and load it.
Two adjacent fixes this uncovered: the monitoring sidecar in docker-compose.yml
mounted etc/workers/monitoring/dapr, which does not exist (dev and stage both
use etc/monitoring/dapr), so Docker created an empty directory and it ran with
no components; and containerised apps needed Telemetry__Otlp__Endpoint rather
than OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, since Aether treats configuration as stronger
than the environment and appsettings pins localhost:4318 — correct for the
host-run flow, a black hole inside a container.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree
A transition renders as one tree in Kibana only if every span between the entry point
and the remote call is actually exported. Three links were missing, each producing the
same shape: a span whose parent id was propagated but whose parent document no backend
ever received. Elastic APM re-parents such a span to the trace root, so the whole
Execution subtree — including the outbound task request — disappeared from under
`Dapr invoke vnext-execution-app`. Measured on one transition: 9 orphans of 45 spans
before, 0 after.
Dapr sidecars: the tracing block was authored under `otlp:`, a key Dapr's TracingSpec
does not have, so it was silently ignored — the sampler still initialized and the
sidecar still created and propagated span ids while exporting none of them. 7edda306
passed --config, which was necessary but not sufficient. The field is `otel`, and
`protocol` and `isSecure` are required rather than optional: Dapr builds no exporter
without an explicit protocol, and isSecure defaults to TLS, which a plaintext collector
refuses. Each was isolated by a span-arrival test — any one missing yields zero sidecar
spans. All six configs corrected.
gRPC client spans: no gRPC instrumentation was registered anywhere (Aether wires up
AspNetCore and HttpClient only), yet Grpc.Net.Client — which every Dapr.Client call goes
through — creates its activity regardless, and the System.Net.Http span nests under it.
The discriminator was exact: every HTTP/2 client span in a trace was orphaned, every
HTTP/1.1 one correctly parented. Registering OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.GrpcNetClient
exports the parent; the single AddTelemetry feeds all five hosts.
State-store and lock sidecar spans: enabling sidecar export surfaced 55 pre-existing
holes, all state-store or lock calls (GetState x47, TryLock/Unlock, SaveState). Here the
app's gRPC span is exported and correctly nested, but the HttpClient activity below it
puts its id on the wire without being exported and the sidecar parents onto that. The
collector now drops the sidecar's duplicate, which carries only its own internal handling
time and cost ~50 detached spans per transition. Scoped by instrumentation scope, not by
name — the app-side span carries the same `…/GetState` suffix and must survive. CallLocal/*
is untouched: those are the spans that reconnect Orchestration to Execution. None of the
55 had children, so dropping them orphans nothing.
The underlying HttpClient hole is not fixed and the filter is marked to be removed when it
is: the client-construction path for Aether's distributed cache and lock differs from
Dapr.Jobs/DaprClient in a way this change does not explain. Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel
stays Business throughout.

* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key and load it idempotently (#888)
* docs(scripting): design for the script ALC double-compile race
Root-causes the `Script_<hash> already loaded` FileLoadException seen on
subflow output mapping under load, and specifies the fix.
The crash needs three conditions at once: compilation is check-then-act
with no GetOrAdd, a declared helper set makes the load context shared and
long-lived, and DurablePostCommit processes every subflow completion twice.
Helpers landed in v0.0.60, which is what turned a previously harmless race
into a crash — the evaluator source is unchanged since.
Design: Lazy<T> + GetOrAdd with faulted-entry eviction (mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry), idempotent assembly load so a partial failure cannot
permanently poison a shared context, and an explicit cacheScope so the cache
key distinguishes helper sets instead of relying on a null Display.
Output-mapping double-apply is called out as a non-goal.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(subflow): correct the race's cause and add output-mapping failure classification
Two corrections to the design after reading the SubFlow terminal services.
The concurrency source is not the duplicate DurablePostCommit delivery: the
per-(parent, subInstance) lock serializes duplicates, and correlation
completion and output mapping already share one transaction, so the mapping
cannot be applied twice. Parallel *distinct* completions of the same flow are
what compile the same mapping concurrently.
That leaves the real damage, now specified as 5.4: SubflowCompletionService
treats every failed output mapping as permanent and faults the parent, so a
transient infrastructure fault terminates a healthy instance with nothing to
retry it. ApplyAsync now classifies transient vs permanent and rethrows the
transient case so the transaction rolls back and the delivery is redelivered.
The superseded reading is kept in the decisions log so it is not repeated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): close three soundness gaps in the fix design
Assembly names now carry the full cache key instead of a 16-character
prefix. The idempotent-load rule reuses an assembly by simple name, which is
only exact if the name identifies the compilation uniquely; 64 bits made it
probabilistic, and widening it costs nothing but stack-trace length.
Records the registry invariant that cacheScope depends on: a healthy
HelperSet is never evicted, so a cached Type cannot outlive its load context.
A future TTL or hot-reload policy would break this silently, so it is
documented on both HelperSet.Key and the registry's Evict.
Makes the transient classification an explicit allowlist — an unrecognised
exception stays permanent. Treating the unknown as transient would turn a
genuine mapping bug into an indefinitely redelivered poison message.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): implementation plan for the compile race and failure classification
Five independently committable tasks, each TDD-driven with the actual test
and implementation code: atomic compilation, idempotent assembly load, cache
scope, the transient/permanent classifier, and the caller comments.
Also narrows the spec's transient list to the CLR-level faults actually being
classified. Recognising transient data-access failures needs provider-specific
inspection and no evidence it occurs on this path, so it is left as a future
allowlist entry rather than widening this change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key
CompileToInstanceAsync was check-then-act: TryGetValue miss -> Roslyn
emit -> LoadFromStream -> TryAdd. Concurrent callers with the same
cache key both compiled, producing two assemblies with the identical
simple name (derived from the cache key), which a shared
AssemblyLoadContext cannot hold -> FileLoadException under load.
Mirror the GetOrAdd + Lazy<T> pattern already used by
ScriptHelperRegistry: one compile per cache key, faulted entries
evicted via TryRemove(KeyValuePair) so a transient failure isn't
replayed forever by this singleton. Compile runs under
CancellationToken.None since the result is shared by every waiter.
Also name the assembly after the whole cache key instead of a 16-char
prefix, so reuse-by-name is exact rather than probabilistic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(scripting): address Task 1 review feedback
- Give the concurrency test an actual rendezvous (Barrier(8) +
ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(16,16)) instead of relying on Task.Run to
happen to dispatch all 8 callers before the compile finishes; without
it the test could go green on a starved pool without ever racing.
- Fix cancellation docs (IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync,
ScriptEngine.CompileToInstanceAsync) to match the new behaviour: the
token gates entry only and cannot cancel a compile once it is shared
by other waiters.
- Add a TryGetValue+IsValueCreated fast path before GetOrAdd so the
capturing closure isn't allocated on every cache hit, mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry.GetOrBuildHelpers.
- Move the CompiledScript record struct to the bottom of the class and
drop the now-unused System.Reflection using.

* fix(scripting): reuse an already-loaded script assembly instead of reloading it
* test(scripting): guard the eviction-and-retry recovery path
* fix(scripting): key the script cache by load context, not just by source
Two different helper sets that export the same namespaces previously shared
one CSharpEvaluator cache entry for identical mapping source, because the
helper reference's MetadataReference.Display is null for in-memory images
and contributed nothing to GenerateCacheKey. A second flow could silently
execute the first flow's helper implementations with no exception.
Thread an explicit cacheScope (the helper set's content-hash Key) through
IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync/InvalidateScript and ScriptEngine's
CompileCoreAsync so the load context is folded into the cache key.
* test(scripting): guard the helper-set cache-scope wiring
The prior test only proved GenerateCacheKey honours a scope string; it did
not cover the actual bug, which was in ScriptEngine failing to pass one.
Deleting helperSet.Key from the CompileCoreAsync call site left every test
green.
Add a regression test that drives the real wiring (ScriptEngine ->
IScriptHelperRegistry -> IEvaluator): two helper sets export the same
namespace/type but return different values, and the same mapping source is
compiled against each through ScriptEngine. Verified it fails (second result
wrongly "A") with helperSet.Key removed, and passes with it restored.
Also add the missing negative case (two scope-less compiles still share one
cache entry), drop the pointless default on CompileCoreAsync's cacheScope
parameter, and treat an empty cacheScope the same as an absent one in
GenerateCacheKey.
* refactor(scripting): derive the cache scope from the load context
The explicit cacheScope string added in the previous commit let the scope
and the AssemblyLoadContext disagree — nothing enforced that a caller
passing loadContext also passed the matching scope, and an existing test
(Mapping_Can_Call_Referenced_Helper style call) already did exactly that.
CSharpEvaluator now derives the scope internally: a private
ConditionalWeakTable<AssemblyLoadContext, string> hands each context a
stable id on first use (Interlocked.Increment), keyed weakly so the table
is never what keeps a context alive. A null loadContext still yields a
null scope, so the no-helper path's keys are unchanged.
This removes the cacheScope parameter from IEvaluator (a NuGet-published
contract) entirely, reverts ScriptEngine.CompileCoreAsync and its call
sites to their pre-Task-3 shape, and removes HelperSet.Key along with the
invariant it required — a superseded helper set now gets a new context and
therefore a new scope automatically, with nothing to document or maintain.
GenerateCacheKey keeps its private cacheScope parameter; only the public
surface changed.

* refactor(scripting): correct the cache-scope retention comment and isolate its test
The LoadContextScopes doc claimed a superseded context's cache entries are
"stranded" and the context collected. That is wrong: _typeCache holds
CompiledScript.Context strongly for the singleton's lifetime, so a
superseded helper context and every assembly loaded into it are retained
for the process lifetime instead. Corrected the comment to say so, and
noted _typeCache as what pins it.
Also: removed a comment at GenerateCacheKey's |alc: append that duplicated
CompileToInstanceAsync's, trimmed the CreateFromImage/null-Display root
cause to its one home (GetCacheScope's doc) instead of three, collapsed the
scope id format to alc{id} (dropping the unobserved Name-based diagnostic
claim, keeping the load-bearing incrementing id), and added a note on
GetCacheScope explaining why ConditionalWeakTable's factory re-entrancy is
expected and must not be "fixed" into TryGetValue + Add.
Moved ScriptEngine_Compiles_Same_Mapping_Against_Different_Helper_Sets_
Without_Cross_Contamination, IHelperValueMapping, and BuildHelperMapping
out of SandboxedScriptingTests.cs (whose doc says its tests run without a

A subflow fault completes the parent correlation and then executes the

design, for the subflow's lifetime). Classify treated that entry as
Normal, so ReserveAsync rejected the expected Busy parent with
Instance:100031 and the fault surfaced as SubflowCompletionException.
Classify now maps IsErrorBoundaryTransition to OwnerReentry — the fault
callback is the continuation of the very chain that owns the Busy —
mirroring the resume path that already enters via IsInternalResume.

The cache is deliberately in-process rather than distributed so secret
material never transits Redis. Configurable via the Scripting:SecretCache
section (Enabled=false or TtlSeconds<=0 bypasses it). ScriptBase reads
through IScriptServices.SecretCache and falls back to direct Dapr access
when the cache is absent (legacy implementations and bare mocks).

* feat(scripting): serve sync GetSecret cache hits with a lock-free L1 probe
The sync GetSecret/GetSecrets wrappers delegated unconditionally to the
async path via GetAwaiter().GetResult(), which under load parks threads
even when the answer is already in memory. Add TryGetCachedSecret /
TryGetCachedBundle probes to IScriptSecretCache: a read-only, never-
blocking, never-fetching check that hits only on an already-created,
successfully completed, unexpired bundle entry. ScriptBase probes L1
first and only drops down to the blocking async path on a miss (cold,
in-flight, faulted or expired entry).
Hits are now structurally lock-free and allocation-free with no
sync-over-async involvement. Misses still block the calling thread by
nature of a synchronous API — single-flight keeps the vault at one call;
miss-heavy scripts should prefer GetSecretAsync (documented in README).
The probe never evicts; evict-and-refresh stays single-flight in the
async path.

* fix(tests): add missing using for IRelatedInstanceReader
SecretCacheOptionsBindingTests registers a substitute for
IRelatedInstanceReader, but the type lives in
BBT.Workflow.Scripting.Related and the using was never added — the whole
BBT.Workflow.Application.Tests project failed to compile with CS0246, so
none of the secret cache tests could run.
With the using in place the project builds and the 21 secret cache tests
(ScriptSecretCacheTests + SecretCacheOptionsBindingTests) pass.

* Flat trace lanes, job arming outside the status lock, and four defects found on the way (#900)
* fix(docker): give the Dapr scheduler enough tmpfs to hold its etcd store
The scheduler's etcd data dir was a 64 MB tmpfs. etcd preallocates a 64 MB WAL
segment and keeps snapshots and member data alongside it, so the store cannot fit:
the container dies with "no space left on device" and exits.
The consequence is not local to the scheduler. Once it is gone the sidecars cannot
resolve dapr-scheduler, every job arm fails, and because a failed arm only rolls
the row back to Pending — where nothing picks it up while the arming poller is
disabled — transitions stop running entirely and instances sit Busy. The local
stack could not survive a restart.
Raised to 512 MB in all five compose files. The light variants quote the value
differently, which is why they are easy to miss when grepping.

* fix(background-job): arm workflow timeout jobs instead of leaving them Pending
The timeout enqueue never passed `directly`, so it defaulted to false: the row was
persisted as Pending and the scheduler was never called. That made workflow
timeouts depend on the background-job arming poller, which is disabled
(BackgroundJob:WithHostedService = false) — so timeouts were never armed and never
fired. No exception, no log; the enqueue reported success and the row just sat
there.
Not a deliberate choice: four of the five enqueue sites in this codebase already
pass directly: true. This one was missed.
Verified against a local stack: flow.timeout rows now land Scheduled, where before
the fix every one of them stayed Pending indefinitely.

* fix(tracing): propagate trace context on notification output bindings
Dapr output bindings bypass HttpClient's DiagnosticsHandler — the sidecar
originates its own request to the component — so nothing carries a traceparent
unless it is passed as component metadata. DaprBindingTaskInvoker already did
this; the two notification dispatchers did not, so every notification left the
trace at the task boundary.
The stamping logic moves to DaprTraceMetadata, shared by the Application-layer
dispatchers. DaprBindingTaskInvoker keeps its inline copy: the Execution service
deliberately does not reference BBT.Workflow.Domain, and a layering edge is not
worth six lines. The comment there points at the shared helper.

* chore(deps): bump Aether to 1.0.36
Brings IBackgroundJobArmHandle / EnqueueWithDeferredArmAsync, which the accept
path needs to arm outside the instance status lock, plus jittered poll pacing in
the outbox, inbox and background-job arming loops.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf(workers): cap outbox and inbox idle polling at 10s instead of 60s
A 60 second ceiling put a measured 23 s of pure waiting into one observed trace
before the outbox even leased the message. Lowering the cap bounds the worst case
at 10 s; with 10 replicas per worker and the jitter Aether 1.0.36 adds, expected
pickup is around a second.
Measured idle cost of the change on one replica per worker: commits/s 0.22 -> 0.83.
Tuples and buffer hits are unchanged and blks_read stays at zero — the extra polls
return nothing, so they cost a transaction and an index probe, not data or disk.
Extrapolated to 10 replicas: roughly +6 commits/s, constant.
IdlePollingInterval and BusyPollingInterval are deliberately untouched. Idle is a
starting value, not a steady state: after a busy round the delay drops to 100 ms
and climbs from there, so a system with traffic is already responsive.

* feat(tracing): flatten trace lanes and move job arming out of the status lock
Two changes that share too many files to separate cleanly. Both come out of the
same investigation into why a single business request was hard to read and
occasionally slow.
## Flat trace lanes
A chained request produced a deeply nested trace: each auto-chained hop's
TransitionJob.Execute span was parented to the previous hop's span, so nesting
depth equalled chain depth. Measured on 22-hop traces, the deepest hop sat at
depth 53. With subflows the waterfall was unusable for finding a failure.
The cause was one field doing two jobs. The payload's TraceParent is the previous
hop — correct as a link, wrong as a parent. Splitting it fixes the shape:
TraceParent -> the predecessor, attached as an ActivityLink
TraceRoot -> the lane anchor, the actual parent
ParentTraceRoot -> the lane to return to, set only inside a subflow
The model is one lane per instance. A new lane opens only at a subflow handoff, so
a subflow's hops render flat underneath the PostCommit span that forwarded to
them, and depth grows with subflow nesting rather than chain length. After the
change the deepest hop of a 23-hop trace sits at depth 1.
All the policy lives in FlatLaneActivity. An anchor from another trace is linked
and never trusted as a parent, so a stale AsyncLocal or a relayed payload cannot
teleport a span. Absent anchor means exactly the previous behaviour, which is what
makes a rolling deploy safe in both directions. No migration: job payloads live in
the Dapr scheduler store, outbox events in a serialized blob.
Baggage could not carry the anchor. Every span here starts from an explicit
ActivityContext, which leaves Activity.Parent null, and Activity.Baggage walks
that chain — so baggage is already invisible to these spans today. Pinned by
ActivityParentContextSemanticsTests before anything was built on the assumption.
Wrapper spans that only added depth are gone: WorkflowExecutionService.Execute-
TransitionAsync, AsyncTransitionStrategy.ExecuteAsync and TaskCoordinator.Execute.
Task.Execute.{key} stays — it is the only span carrying per-task duration and the
task.failed / task.retry events. SyncTransitionStrategy keeps its [Trace]
deliberately: it stamps ActivityStatusCode.Error on its own span, and removing it
would move that onto the HTTP transaction and inflate APM error rates for ordinary
4xx business failures.
## Arming outside the status lock
The accept path held the instance status lock across the Dapr scheduler
round-trip. Measured under load, that call was essentially the entire lock hold —
arming p50 214 ms against a 198 ms median hold, p90 571 ms, worst 3.1 s — so every
other request on the same instance queued behind an external call. That breaks the
"millisecond-scale check-and-set" premise the Busy-as-mutex design rests on.
Only the row has to commit under the lock: the duplicate-job guard is a
check-then-insert with no database constraint, so the next contender must see it.
Telling Dapr does not. The accept now persists under the lock via Aether's
deferred-arm handle and arms after releasing it — one scheduler call, no job-row
read and no extra status write, because the handle carries the payload.
Auto-chain is untouched: it runs in the pipeline's ambient unit of work and holds
no status lock, so Aether already defers its arming to post-commit.
Also removes the 5 ms scheduling lead. It was not a correctness guard — arming
routinely completes after the instant it requested and Dapr fires past-due
one-shot jobs regardless (2167 observed, none lost, none redelivered) — so it only
spent latency on a path whose whole budget is ~20 ms.
## Verification
Integration, same environment, same filter, before and after: 27 passed / 3 failed
both times, the same three pre-existing MoneyTransfer failures, 67 s vs 71 s. Unit
suites sit at their pre-existing baselines (20 / 27 / 11) with 26 tests added.
Measured after: BackgroundJob.Schedule inside a held lock 0/59, from 59% before.
Lock hold p50 7.8 ms -> 2.55 ms, worst 30.1 s -> 48 ms. Every accepted transition's
job row reached Completed; none stranded in Pending.

* feat(fanout): FanOutTask (type 21) — dynamic parallel task execution with single-write join (#905)
* docs: add FanOutTask (type 21) design spec for dynamic parallel task execution
Approved brainstorming output: inline scatter-gather fan-out over a runtime
collection (itemsPath/ItemsSelector), four join policies, per-item error
boundary, single-writer output via one OutputHandler call, task-level maxDop
plus a process-level global bulkhead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add FanOutTask implementation plan and spec amendments
13 bite-sized TDD tasks grounded in actual engine/executor signatures:
TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only item execution, FanOutTaskExecutor
with bounded parallel loop and join policies, global bulkhead, observability,
meta/docs updates and the vnext-example integration scenario.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(domain): add FanOutTask (type 21) definition with config parsing
Adds TaskType.FanOut, registers the polymorphic discriminator "21" on
WorkflowTask, and introduces FanOutTask: inline-mode-only fan-out over a
runtime-resolved item collection, running a referenced inner task per item
with configurable parallelism, timeouts, and join policy (all/allSettled/
quorum/firstSuccess). Config validation is fail-fast via ArgumentException
inside Configure(), mirroring SubProcessTask. Executor, mapping contract,
and DI wiring are deliberately out of scope for this change.
* test(domain): close FanOutTask validation coverage gaps
Adds InlineData rows to Configure_Should_Reject_Invalid_Config covering
three guards that were implemented but unpinned by tests:
- task reference present but missing a required subfield (version omitted)
- task reference present but a required subfield is empty string (version: "")
- zero/negative itemTimeoutSeconds (the positive-timeout guard, distinct
from the existing itemTimeoutSeconds > batchTimeoutSeconds case)
- an unparseable join.policy string ("bogus")
No implementation changes; FanOutTask.cs is untouched.
* fix(domain): reject numeric/malformed FanOutTask config values
Two defects fixed, each pinned by a failing test first:
- join.policy accepted any numeric string via Enum.TryParse succeeding on
undefined values (e.g. "0", "99"), deferring the failure to wherever
runtime code switches on JoinPolicy. Now requires Enum.IsDefined too.
- Non-object task/execution/join (e.g. task: "oops", execution: [],
join: []) leaked a raw InvalidOperationException from JsonElement
instead of ArgumentException naming the offending property, unlike the
existing errorBoundary ValueKind guard. Applied the same ValueKind ==
JsonValueKind.Object check to all three.
Also: XML doc comments on the five public consts; Clone/Reset test now
asserts all 12 properties in both directions instead of 3, using a config
that populates quorum+minSuccess and errorBoundary so the assertions are
not vacuously true on shared nulls; added positive coverage for the valid
quorum path and for errorBoundary parsing actually populating OnError.
* feat(domain): add IFanOutMapping contract with FanOutItem/FanOutResult records
* feat(engine): add TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only execution (suppress data apply, journal key override, prepared task, response capture)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(engine): address code review on TaskEngineExecutionOptions
- Assert a non-Flow origin in the Origin propagation test; Flow was the
fallback value, so the assertion could not fail.
- Make TaskExecutorContext.Origin required and update the four test call
sites; a defaulted parameter silently mislabels non-Flow executions.
- Document PreparedTask's retry lifetime (same instance reused across
attempts, unlike the factory path) and pin it with a retry test.
- Correct the TasksExecutionResult.Response doc: boundary-handled
failures also drop the response, not just infrastructure errors.
- Brace the two new CaptureResponse if statements.

* feat(fanout): add FanOutOptions and process-level concurrency bulkhead
Adds the process-wide bulkhead that later fan-out executor tasks will draw
item slots from: a single semaphore-backed limiter caps total in-flight
fan-out items across ALL batches in the process, so N concurrent workflow
instances each running a fan-out cannot multiply into N x maxDegreeOfParallelism
downstream calls. MaxConcurrentItems is validated at startup (Range + ValidateOnStart)
because a non-positive value would deadlock every fan-out batch on its first item.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(fanout): add itemsPath resolver with dot-path subset and item key extraction
* feat(fanout): add join policy evaluator (all/allSettled/quorum/firstSuccess)
Pure policy evaluation over settled FanOutItemResult batches. Quorum gets
an explicit empty-batch carve-out (succeeded=0 would otherwise fail the
threshold check against a validly-configured minSuccess>=1) so it matches
the domain rule that a no-op batch is not a failure for every policy but
firstSuccess.
* fix(fanout): remove Quorum empty-batch carve-out, align with FirstSuccess
FirstSuccess is definitionally Quorum with minSuccess=1 - same predicate,
succeeded >= threshold. The prior commit special-cased Quorum to succeed
on an empty batch while FirstSuccess still failed on the identical input,
which is an indefensible divergence between two spellings of the same
rule. Both now fail an empty batch as a direct fallout of the threshold
comparison (0 successes can never clear a threshold >= 1) with no special
casing needed. Only All/AllSettled succeed vacuously on an empty batch.
Corrects a semantics-table inconsistency caught by the coordinator.
* docs: correct fan-out empty-batch join semantics for threshold policies
firstSuccess is definitionally quorum(minSuccess=1); the original table had them
disagreeing on an empty batch. Threshold policies now uniformly fail a batch that
cannot satisfy their threshold.

* feat(fanout): add FanOutTaskExecutor with bounded parallel item execution and single-output join
* fix(fanout): propagate caller cancellation, derive TimedOut from item outcomes, keep failed-item payloads
* refactor(fanout): extract batch cancellation and error codes, flatten namespace, share the test fixture
* test(fanout): pin join policy early-stop, timeout and partial-failure behavior
* test(fanout): pin IFanOutMapping integration (item binding, single output, selector XOR, failure paths)
* feat(fanout): add structured logs, item spans and batch metrics
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(fanout): add developer guide, meta registry entry and default bulkhead config
Adds Workflow:FanOut:MaxConcurrentItems (default 64) to the Orchestration
host's appsettings.json (FanOut executor/options are only registered
there; Execution host never calls AddTaskHandlers), registers TaskType 21
in vnext-meta component-registry.json/features.json, and documents the
FanOut task end-to-end in docs/domain/fan-out-task.md (config schema,
join policies, IFanOutMapping contract, single-write invariant, error
codes, bulkhead, observability, and author-beware notes verified against
the actual executor rather than the design spec).
* fix(fanout): make itemAlias live in logs and item spans, correct its doc
itemAlias was parsed, cloned and reset but read by nothing, while its XML
doc claimed it drove default input binding and log readability. Neither was
true. Surface it as a structured field on FanOutBatchStarted and as a
vnext.fanout.item.alias span tag, falling back to a neutral "item" label when
absent or blank, and rewrite the doc to describe a reporting label only.
Default input binding is deliberately unchanged: it stays a flat
SetBody(item.Value), so no inner-task script sees a different shape.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(fanout): let a mapping override input binding without reimplementing default output
* docs(fanout): correct itemAlias and ordered claims to match shipped behavior
itemAlias became a genuine structured log field and item-span tag in
6dd83030 (log/span half), but the guide, the meta package, and the
executor's own doc comments never caught up — they still claimed the
executor reads it nowhere. Also close two design-spec deviations that
were never recorded as amendments: OutputHandler shipped optional
(4bd8941b) instead of required, and 'ordered' shipped as an accepted
no-op instead of controlling result ordering. Docs and XML comments
only; no runtime behavior changed.

* fix(scripting): keep header/route/query dictionaries typed across a parallel branch
* fix(subprocess): serialize parent correlation writes on the shared per-instance gate
* docs(fanout): correct validation split and mapping attachment point
Two defects surfaced while writing the Forge implementation spec.
The design spec's validation section still described a FanOutTaskValidator called
from WorkflowValidator, rejecting nested fan-out and the itemsPath/ItemSelector XOR
at definition time. That validator does not exist and was never built: fan-out
config lives in the task component, not the workflow document, so WorkflowValidator
never sees it. Both rules are executor preflight checks, which means publish does
not catch them and Forge Studio has to enforce them itself.
IFanOutMapping's doc comment claimed the script ships in the task's mapping field.
A type-21 component carries only type and config; the mapping rides the workflow's
task binding like every other task type.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(fanout): attribute early-stop cancellations to FanOut:ItemCancelled
An item cancelled by the join policy's early stop while already inside the
task engine reported the engine's normalized exception code
(Task:Unknown:{itemTaskKey}:TaskCanceledException) instead of the documented
FanOut:ItemCancelled. Only the item cancelled before it reached the engine got
the contract code, so one batch reported two codes for one cause — and the
leaked string embeds the inner task key, so it is not even stable to match on.
FanOutErrorCodes values are public contract and authors branch on them.
MapEngineOutcome now asks FanOutBatchCancellation whether one of the batch's
own causes closed the item's window (StoppedItem — the tokens are the truth,
rather than pattern-matching error text) and re-attributes through Classify.
The two failure shapes are treated differently on purpose: an engine that did
not complete was interrupted, so our cancellation explains it; an engine that
completed and reported a task failure produced the item's own verdict, which
keeps its own code unless the failure is itself cancellation-typed.
A caller cancellation absorbed by the engine is now rethrown through the
existing when (CallerCancelled) filter, so a torn-down transition still
propagates instead of becoming N failed items.
The fixture's fake engine let the OperationCanceledException escape, which the
real engine never does — that fidelity gap is why the suite stayed green while
production leaked the code. It now swallows cancellation the way
TaskExecutionEngine's catch-all does, so every early-stop and deadline test in
the suite exercises the production shape.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(definitions): publish Configure-time authoring errors as 400, not 500
A component whose own Configure rejected the authored shape came back from
POST /api/v1/definitions/publish as an opaque HTTP 500 with the exception's
message — which already names the offending value AND the supported one —
discarded. Every component validator materialises the definition from its JSON
before it can inspect it, and only JsonException was caught, so the throw
escaped to the endpoint's generic handler.
This is not a fan-out bug. It affects every task type whose Configure
validates: FanOutTask's reserved mode "durable", a non-$.-rooted itemsPath,
maxDegreeOfParallelism below 1, itemTimeoutSeconds above batchTimeoutSeconds,
quorum without minSuccess, a non-object task/execution/join; HttpTask's missing
url; SubProcessTask's and GetInstancesTask's missing trigger domain/flow.
ComponentValidatorProcessor now catches ArgumentException around the single
validator invocation and reports it as a validation error keyed
{componentType}.{paramName}, so publish answers with the existing
App:900006 validation-failure shape and one consistent contract reaches tooling
and Forge Studio. Deliberately narrow: the validator call's entire job is to
materialise a definition and look at it, so everything else — including the
processor's own NotSupportedException and any infrastructure fault — still
surfaces as a 500, pinned by a test.

* fix(api,validation): resolve the payload envelope by its field set, and stop losing schema error details (#906)
* fix(api): detect the payload envelope by its field set, not one property
Payload-mode detection keyed on a single case-sensitive `attributes`
property, but the vNext envelope is a SET of independently optional
fields (`key`, `tags`, `stage`, `attributes`). Any standard envelope
that omitted `attributes` — or spelled it with different casing — was
classified free-form and wrapped WHOLE, so a transition/start schema was
evaluated against `key`/`tags` instead of the business payload:
{"key":"K1"} -> 400 "All values fail against the false schema"
{"Attributes":{...}} -> 400, though JSON binding is case-insensitive
key=K1&tags[]=a -> same, on the form-urlencoded path
On a transition with no schema the same misdetection was silent: the
envelope was persisted as business data (`attributes.key`).
Introduce `PayloadEnvelope` as the single envelope vocabulary and have
both detectors use it — `PayloadModeDetector` (JSON) and
`FormUrlEncodedJsonElementInputFormatter` (form), which had carried
duplicated, divergent copies of the rule. Standard now means: an
`attributes` property (case-insensitive), whatever sits beside it; or a
non-empty body whose top-level fields are all envelope metadata. The
empty object keeps its existing free-form normalization.
Contract note: auto-detection now reserves `key`/`tags`/`stage` at the
top level, so a free-form payload made up solely of those names must
send `x-vnext-payload-mode: raw`. Documented.

* fix(validation): stop dropping a node's own errors when flattening
A rejected payload could come back naming no field at all:
400 {"errors":{}, "details":"{\"Culture\":\"en-US\",\"Errors\":[]}"}
`FlattenErrors` treated a node's own errors and its child details as
alternatives — recurse when there are details, otherwise take the node.
But in the hierarchical evaluation tree a keyword's error sits on the
node that OWNS the keyword, and that node gains child `Details` as soon
as the schema evaluates any subschema. So for a schema with
`additionalProperties: false` and a nested object, a root-level
`required` failure was an error on the root beside a set of valid
children: the walk descended into the valid children, added nothing, and
the only error there was got dropped.
One empty list cost the caller both symptoms at once, because

* expose scheduled transitions with persisted UTC execution time (InstanceJob.ExecuteAt) in the state response, folding job-set changes into the fingerprint ETag (shape v6)
* fix(timer): interpret Unspecified-kind scheduled DateTimes as UTC in ResolveExecuteAt
* drop scheduled-job members from the fingerprint ETag
* clean comments
* feat(telemetry): propagate workflow correlation context
* feat(observability): unify trace tree across async jobs and correlate logs via X-Request-Id
Trace side — a client's transition/start request now appears as ONE trace tree
in APM (orchestration -> background job -> pipeline -> Execution -> remote task):
- BackgroundJobActivityHelper.StartActivityContinuingTrace: immediate jobs
(flow.transition, state.notify) re-parent on the payload's TraceParent and
attach the Dapr scheduler callback span as an ActivityLink; deferred jobs
(timer/timeout/ack) keep the link-only policy so stale traces are not resurrected.
- Fix: EnqueueContinuationStrategy now stamps TraceParent/TraceState onto the
outbox TransitionContinuationRequested event (direct payload already had them).
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors) carries CorrelationId/TraceParent/TraceState;
RemoteInvokerService populates them and forwards X-Request-Id; ExecutionController
restores the trace from the body when transport propagation left no ambient
activity (transport wins on mismatch, tagged vnext.trace.mismatch).
- Task invokers skip reserved trace headers (traceparent/tracestate/baggage/
x-request-id) from binding definitions; Dapr binding/pub-sub invokers stamp the
live W3C context into operation metadata explicitly.
- ITraceableDistributedEvent on instance lifecycle events, stamped centrally by
HookedDistributedEventBus at publish time; Inbox handlers restore it via
EventTraceScope and forward X-Request-Id (DaprOrchestrationForwarder).
- Inbox/Outbox workers: tracing enabled with OTLP exporter.
- Cross-domain calls (CurrentUserForwardHeadersHelper) stamp X-Root-Instance-Id
from baggage and X-Request-Id from the correlation provider.
Log side — start -> state/view/schema/data chain is now queryable end to end:
- InstanceStarted (EventId 20008) emitted while the start HTTP request is live,
closing the X-Request-Id <-> instance-id join without a client-supplied id.
- InstanceQueryAppService.BeginInstanceScope: per-request log scope + activity
tags (instance id/key, flow, domain) on the read/function path, resolving the
route token to the real instance id.
- TransitionJobHandler restores the captured x-request-id into
ICorrelationIdProvider for the duration of the job.
Config:
- Remove hardcoded Telemetry:Otlp from appsettings — Aether prefers config over
env, so the value silently overrode OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT in containers;
env files now point at otel-collector:4318 (http/protobuf).
- Explicit Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel=Business in both hosts.
- New guide: docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md (APISIX contract,
trace-continuation semantics, reserved-header rule).

* fix(telemetry): reconcile correlation.id and request id after PR #879 merge
PR #879 (workflow correlation context) and the X-Request-Id correlation work
overlapped on one field with two meanings: TaskTraceContext.CorrelationId was
populated with the request id but consumed as the business correlation
(X-Correlation-Id header, correlation.id tag) — so correlation.id carried the
request id on the Execution side while carrying the execution GUID on the
orchestration side, and X-Correlation-Id had a different source per hop.
Reconciliation — one identity per carrier:
- TaskTraceContext (both wire mirrors): new RequestId field. CorrelationId is
the business correlation only. RemoteInvokerService sends X-Request-Id from
RequestId and X-Correlation-Id from CorrelationId; ExecutionController tags
correlation.id from CorrelationId and vnext.request.id from RequestId.
CreateTraceContext reads the business correlation from correlation.id
baggage, falling back to the current trace id.
- correlation.id is now CHAIN-STABLE: TransitionExecutor.EnrichTelemetry
publishes correlation.id + workflow.instance.id tags and baggage for every
pipeline run (sync included — previously async-accept only), and the id is
carried across async hops via TransitionJobPayload.CorrelationId and
TransitionContinuationRequested.CorrelationId, re-seeded through
TransitionInput.CorrelationId so auto-chain job hops stop minting a new
correlation per job.
- Event contracts: ITraceableDistributedEvent.CorrelationId renamed to
RequestId (it carries the X-Request-Id value) across the interface, the ten
lifecycle events, the bus stamper, EventTraceScope and inbox handler scopes —
removing the naming collision with the business correlation.
- Invoker hardening: ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders moved to InvokerHelpers and
applied by every HTTP-shaped invoker (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger); the four correlation/identity headers joined the
reserved-header guard so task bindings cannot spoof them anywhere.
- Fixed a merge artifact in ExecutionController (',AD' token) and a duplicated
CorrelationId property in the Execution-side TaskTraceContext.
- docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: carriers table rewritten around
the four distinct identities and the extended reserved-header contract.

In the trace UI, TaskCoordinator.Execute / Task.Execute.* / subflow-subprocess
branches and outbound POST client spans appeared at the trace ROOT instead of
under transition/{key}. Root cause: pipeline steps created PostSharp [Trace]
aspect spans and renamed them to '[{Order}] {Step}', and Aether's Business
filter suppresses '['-prefixed spans at OnEnd (export time) — the step
Activity still existed and was Activity.Current for the whole step body, so
every child span pointed at a parent span id that was never exported and the
UI re-rooted the whole subtree.
Fix — a span Business mode would drop is now never CREATED in Business mode:
- New PipelineStepActivityHelper (ActivitySource "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline"):
starts the '[{Order}] {StepName}' step span only when DetailLevel=Verbose,
from a single wrap point in TransitionExecutor.ExecuteStepWithBoundaryAsync.
In Business mode no step Activity exists, so task, subflow, background-job
and HttpClient child spans attach directly to transition/{key}.
- Removed the [Trace] aspect and the SetDisplayName("[N] ...") rename from all
pipeline steps (the per-step aspect+rename pair is replaced by the central
helper).
- ActivityExtensions.SetDisplayName: removed the dead step-guard whose comment
described a suppression model Aether does not implement (the filter acts at
OnEnd, not at creation); documented the creation rule instead.
- PostCommitExecutor: each post-commit job now runs under an always-exported
'PostCommit.{JobType}' business span so subflow/subprocess starts have a
visible parent in the trace.
- AdditionalSources: registered "BBT.Workflow.Pipeline" in both hosts.
- docs/monitoring/correlation-and-tracing.md: documented the creation rule and
added the re-rooted-spans troubleshooting entry.

* feat(tracing): make sub/act_sub fill-if-absent on outbound task calls
The identity claims are token-derived defaults, not vNext-owned workflow
context: when a developer sets sub/act_sub explicitly in a task binding's
input mapping, that value must win; only when the binding does not set them
should the platform fill them from the gateway token.
- InvokerHelpers: sub/act_sub removed from the reserved-header guard so
binding-provided values flow through every remote invoker's header copy;
ApplyTrustedCorrelationHeaders no longer removes them and only adds the
baggage values when the header is absent. X-Workflow-Instance-Id and
X-Correlation-Id stay authoritative (always overwritten from baggage).
- Applies to all HTTP-shaped invokers (http, soap, daprservice,
daprhttpendpoint, trigger) via the shared helper.
- Tests updated for the new precedence + new fill-from-baggage case; docs
describe the fill-if-absent rule.

* chore(telemetry): upgrade Aether to 1.0.35 and drop the enricher header prefix
Aether 1.0.35 makes the log-enricher header key prefix configurable
(burgan-tech/aether#92). Set RequestHeaderKeyPrefix to "" in every host so the
enriched headers land as bare fields — sub, act_sub, jti, role,
x_parent_instance_id, user_agent, x_request_id — instead of RequestHeader.*,
which OpenObserve/Elasticsearch surface as requestheader_act_sub once they
lowercase the key and flatten the dot.
The response prefix keeps its ResponseHeader. default so a header present on
both request and response cannot collapse onto a single field.
Docs: new "Log enricher field names" section covering the field naming, the
backend normalization behind it, and the enricher's inbound-request-only scope.

* refactor(telemetry): drop duplicate sub/act_sub from the Execution log scope
With the enricher header prefix removed, the enricher emits the identity
claims as bare fields (sub, act_sub). ExecutionController's log scope carried
the same two values under sub and act.sub — and act.sub flattens to act_sub in
the log backend — so every task-invoke log record ended up with each claim
twice, from the same TaskTraceContext source.
The enricher is the wider emitter (every log record of the request, not just
the invoke block) and RemoteInvokerService forwards the headers on every call,
so the scope copy is pure duplication. Removed it; the claims remain span tags
and baggage, which are a different signal and unaffected.

* Add OTLP config to host appsettings
Add an "Otlp" settings block (Endpoint: http://localhost:4318, Protocol: http/protobuf) to appsettings.json for Execution, Orchestration, Monitoring, DbMigrator, Inbox and Outbox hosts. Provides a concrete OTLP endpoint/protocol for the existing EnableOtlpExporter tracing configuration so services can send telemetry to a local OpenTelemetry collector.
* feat(telemetry): stamp the originating request id on every log record in every service
Answering "I sent X-Request-Id on a transition — is it on all logs?": it was not,
and where it appeared it could be wrong. Aether's header enricher reads only the
CURRENT inbound request's headers, so it is silent wherever there is no
HttpContext (the Outbox worker, background work) — and on requests the platform
originates itself (Dapr job callbacks, Dapr pub/sub deliveries) the correlation
middleware generates an id from HttpContext.TraceIdentifier and writes it back
into the request headers, so the enricher reported a fabricated x_request_id that
looked exactly like a real client id. Filtering a dashboard on it silently
dropped the async half of every flow.
Meanwhile ICorrelationIdProvider — which the platform already populates at every
entry point, including our TransitionJobHandler and EventTraceScope restores —
was write-only: nothing read it for logging.
- New RequestIdLogProcessor (HttpApi.Shared) stamps vnext.request.id from
ICorrelationIdProvider onto every log record, with no HttpContext dependency
and without duplicating a value a scope or log parameter already supplied.
Registered once in the shared AddTelemetry via Aether's ConfigureLogging seam,
so it covers orchestration, execution, monitoring, inbox, outbox and migrator.
- StateNotifyJobHandler now restores the captured request id into the provider
(it read the header but never applied it).
- Removed X-Request-Id from Enrichers:Headers in all hosts, so the fabricated
x_request_id field disappears and vnext_request_id is the single source. This
also removes the stray ResponseHeader.x_request_id field.
- Removed the now-duplicate vnext.request.id entries from the job/execution/inbox
log scopes; the provider Change() calls stay as the processor's source.
- Docs: "Querying one request across all services" — the per-entry-point source
table, the two deliberate exceptions (system-triggered jobs, Outbox publish
loop) and why X-Request-Id must not be an enricher header.

* refactor(telemetry): name the request-id log field x_request_id
The global request-id field was vnext.request.id, queried as vnext_request_id
after the backend flattens the dots. The platform's own jargon for this value is
X-Request-Id, so the field is renamed to its normalized header form:
x_request_id. It deliberately carries no dot, so backends that flatten dotted
keys (OpenObserve, Elasticsearch) leave it alone and the queried name is the
same everywhere.
One constant drives the log attribute, the Execution span tag and the tests, so
logs and traces keep a single name for the value.
Because the key is now identical to what Aether's header enricher would produce
for X-Request-Id, the existing "never list that header in
Telemetry:Logging:Enrichers:Headers" rule stops being cosmetic: the enricher
runs first and would suppress the correct value with the one it fabricates from
HttpContext.TraceIdentifier on Dapr callbacks. Documented at the constant, in
the processor and in the monitoring guide, and pinned by a test so a future
rename has to be deliberate.

* feat(telemetry): filter traces by the same x_request_id as the logs
Logs already carried x_request_id on every record; spans carried it in a
single place (the Execution invoke span), and Aether's tracing header
enrichment would only ever produce it under a second, dash-bearing name
(http.request.header.x-request-id) on server spans that actually received
the header.
RequestIdSpanProcessor stamps the tag in OnStart for every span opened
inside a correlation scope, which covers all three entry points — HTTP,
transition/state-notify jobs and Inbox events. The ASP.NET Core server
span is out of its reach (instrumentation opens it before
UseCorrelationId(), so the AsyncLocal is still empty), so
ParentInstanceIdEnrichmentMiddleware tags that one; it already runs right
after the correlation middleware and already writes to Activity.Current.
Both read ICorrelationIdProvider rather than the raw header, keeping one
source for the field, and neither overwrites an existing tag.
X-Request-Id is dropped from Telemetry:Tracing:Headers in the four hosts
that listed it, so the concept has one name in a trace. The log-side trap
does not apply to that enrichment — it runs in OnStartActivity, before the
middleware can fabricate an id — this is purely about a duplicate name.

* ci: publish NuGet packages via trusted publishing instead of an API key
nuget.org's trusted publishing policy for this repository is configured, and
the long-lived key behind secrets.NUGET_API_KEY is gone — the push step was
depending on a secret that no longer works.
NuGet/login exchanges the job's OIDC token for an API key valid for one hour,
so the job needs id-token: write. The login step sits directly before the push
rather than at the top of the job: the restore and five pack steps are slow
under PostSharp, and the docs ask for the key to be requested shortly before
publishing. The push source is unchanged — the returned value is an ordinary
nuget.org key and resolves through the v3 service index as before.
The username comes from the NUGET_USER repository variable, guarded by an
explicit check because an undefined variable is silently the empty string and
would otherwise surface as an opaque token-exchange failure.
This leaves publish-npm and publish-nuget both on OIDC, with no publishing
secret left in the workflow.

* fix(transitions): reserve the subflow chain at accept, with one lock — and scope the $self profile to updateData (#884)
* ci: let a failed release be completed instead of skipped (#886)
The v0.0.80 release shipped images and a GitHub release but no NuGet
packages, and could not be repaired. Four separate reasons, all fixed here.
NUGET_USER is a repository SECRET, not a variable, so `vars.NUGET_USER` was
the empty string and publish-nuget failed its own configuration guard. The
guard now reads the secret through env rather than inlining the expression,
so the value stays masked and cannot be interpolated into the script.
Re-running the failed job could not fix it either: a re-run uses the
workflow file from the original commit, so it never sees the fix. And a
fresh run could not target 0.0.80 at all, because the stable path walks to
the first UNUSED patch version — it would have produced 0.0.81 and left
0.0.80's packages permanently missing, with images and packages on
different versions. workflow_dispatch now honours the `version` input on
the stable path, pinning the version instead of walking; re-publishing over
a shipped tag is intentional but never implicit and requires
force_publish=true. The push path is untouched and still walks.
`npm publish` fails hard on an already-published version and has no
equivalent of `dotnet nuget push --skip-duplicate`, so the re-publish run
that completed 0.0.80's NuGet packages went red on npm even though the
package was already there and nothing was missing. The version is now
checked against the registry first and the publish step is skipped rather
than failed.
Finally, the release summary linked BBT.Workflow.Modules.Scripting, which
is the project name; the project packs as BBT.Workflow.Scripting, so that
link was dead in every release summary.
Verified by simulating the version-calculation and npm-existence scripts
locally: dispatch with version+force resolves 0.0.80, dispatch without
force refuses, a branch push still resolves the next free patch, and the
npm check skips 0.0.80 while publishing an unpublished version. The
NUGET_USER and version-pinning halves are already proven in practice —
run 32025105316 published all five 0.0.80 packages with them.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree in Elastic APM (#887)
* build(docker): run Elastic APM alongside OpenObserve and load the Dapr tracing config
Production renders traces in Elastic APM, and Elastic and OpenObserve do not
draw the same waterfall from the same data: Elastic resolves nesting strictly
through parent.id and re-parents a span whose parent document is absent to the
trace root, while OpenObserve groups by trace id and keeps drawing it in place.
A trace verified only in OpenObserve therefore says nothing about production.
Adds elasticsearch, kibana and apm-server to the three compose files that
already run OpenObserve, and fans the collector's traces, metrics and logs out
to both backends so the two renderings can be compared on one request. APM
Server takes OTLP natively on 8200; it is published on 8201 because Vault
already owns 8200 on the host. Security is off and there is no secret token —
local only.
The sidecars were the missing half. Every etc/*/dapr/config.yaml already sets
samplingRate 1 and an OTLP endpoint, but daprd only reads it when started with
--config, which no compose file passed. The sidecars were creating and
propagating span ids for service invocation while exporting none of them, so
the Execution transaction's parent was a span no backend ever saw — exactly the
shape that makes Elastic re-root the Execution subtree. All sidecars now mount
their Configuration and load it.
Two adjacent fixes this uncovered: the monitoring sidecar in docker-compose.yml
mounted etc/workers/monitoring/dapr, which does not exist (dev and stage both
use etc/monitoring/dapr), so Docker created an empty directory and it ran with
no components; and containerised apps needed Telemetry__Otlp__Endpoint rather
than OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, since Aether treats configuration as stronger
than the environment and appsettings pins localhost:4318 — correct for the
host-run flow, a black hole inside a container.

* fix(observability): export the three missing links that detach a trace subtree
A transition renders as one tree in Kibana only if every span between the entry point
and the remote call is actually exported. Three links were missing, each producing the
same shape: a span whose parent id was propagated but whose parent document no backend
ever received. Elastic APM re-parents such a span to the trace root, so the whole
Execution subtree — including the outbound task request — disappeared from under
`Dapr invoke vnext-execution-app`. Measured on one transition: 9 orphans of 45 spans
before, 0 after.
Dapr sidecars: the tracing block was authored under `otlp:`, a key Dapr's TracingSpec
does not have, so it was silently ignored — the sampler still initialized and the
sidecar still created and propagated span ids while exporting none of them. 7edda306
passed --config, which was necessary but not sufficient. The field is `otel`, and
`protocol` and `isSecure` are required rather than optional: Dapr builds no exporter
without an explicit protocol, and isSecure defaults to TLS, which a plaintext collector
refuses. Each was isolated by a span-arrival test — any one missing yields zero sidecar
spans. All six configs corrected.
gRPC client spans: no gRPC instrumentation was registered anywhere (Aether wires up
AspNetCore and HttpClient only), yet Grpc.Net.Client — which every Dapr.Client call goes
through — creates its activity regardless, and the System.Net.Http span nests under it.
The discriminator was exact: every HTTP/2 client span in a trace was orphaned, every
HTTP/1.1 one correctly parented. Registering OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.GrpcNetClient
exports the parent; the single AddTelemetry feeds all five hosts.
State-store and lock sidecar spans: enabling sidecar export surfaced 55 pre-existing
holes, all state-store or lock calls (GetState x47, TryLock/Unlock, SaveState). Here the
app's gRPC span is exported and correctly nested, but the HttpClient activity below it
puts its id on the wire without being exported and the sidecar parents onto that. The
collector now drops the sidecar's duplicate, which carries only its own internal handling
time and cost ~50 detached spans per transition. Scoped by instrumentation scope, not by
name — the app-side span carries the same `…/GetState` suffix and must survive. CallLocal/*
is untouched: those are the spans that reconnect Orchestration to Execution. None of the
55 had children, so dropping them orphans nothing.
The underlying HttpClient hole is not fixed and the filter is marked to be removed when it
is: the client-construction path for Aether's distributed cache and lock differs from
Dapr.Jobs/DaprClient in a way this change does not explain. Telemetry:Tracing:DetailLevel
stays Business throughout.

* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key and load it idempotently (#888)
* docs(scripting): design for the script ALC double-compile race
Root-causes the `Script_<hash> already loaded` FileLoadException seen on
subflow output mapping under load, and specifies the fix.
The crash needs three conditions at once: compilation is check-then-act
with no GetOrAdd, a declared helper set makes the load context shared and
long-lived, and DurablePostCommit processes every subflow completion twice.
Helpers landed in v0.0.60, which is what turned a previously harmless race
into a crash — the evaluator source is unchanged since.
Design: Lazy<T> + GetOrAdd with faulted-entry eviction (mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry), idempotent assembly load so a partial failure cannot
permanently poison a shared context, and an explicit cacheScope so the cache
key distinguishes helper sets instead of relying on a null Display.
Output-mapping double-apply is called out as a non-goal.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(subflow): correct the race's cause and add output-mapping failure classification
Two corrections to the design after reading the SubFlow terminal services.
The concurrency source is not the duplicate DurablePostCommit delivery: the
per-(parent, subInstance) lock serializes duplicates, and correlation
completion and output mapping already share one transaction, so the mapping
cannot be applied twice. Parallel *distinct* completions of the same flow are
what compile the same mapping concurrently.
That leaves the real damage, now specified as 5.4: SubflowCompletionService
treats every failed output mapping as permanent and faults the parent, so a
transient infrastructure fault terminates a healthy instance with nothing to
retry it. ApplyAsync now classifies transient vs permanent and rethrows the
transient case so the transaction rolls back and the delivery is redelivered.
The superseded reading is kept in the decisions log so it is not repeated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): close three soundness gaps in the fix design
Assembly names now carry the full cache key instead of a 16-character
prefix. The idempotent-load rule reuses an assembly by simple name, which is
only exact if the name identifies the compilation uniquely; 64 bits made it
probabilistic, and widening it costs nothing but stack-trace length.
Records the registry invariant that cacheScope depends on: a healthy
HelperSet is never evicted, so a cached Type cannot outlive its load context.
A future TTL or hot-reload policy would break this silently, so it is
documented on both HelperSet.Key and the registry's Evict.
Makes the transient classification an explicit allowlist — an unrecognised
exception stays permanent. Treating the unknown as transient would turn a
genuine mapping bug into an indefinitely redelivered poison message.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(scripting): implementation plan for the compile race and failure classification
Five independently committable tasks, each TDD-driven with the actual test
and implementation code: atomic compilation, idempotent assembly load, cache
scope, the transient/permanent classifier, and the caller comments.
Also narrows the spec's transient list to the CLR-level faults actually being
classified. Recognising transient data-access failures needs provider-specific
inspection and no evidence it occurs on this path, so it is left as a future
allowlist entry rather than widening this change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(scripting): compile each script once per cache key
CompileToInstanceAsync was check-then-act: TryGetValue miss -> Roslyn
emit -> LoadFromStream -> TryAdd. Concurrent callers with the same
cache key both compiled, producing two assemblies with the identical
simple name (derived from the cache key), which a shared
AssemblyLoadContext cannot hold -> FileLoadException under load.
Mirror the GetOrAdd + Lazy<T> pattern already used by
ScriptHelperRegistry: one compile per cache key, faulted entries
evicted via TryRemove(KeyValuePair) so a transient failure isn't
replayed forever by this singleton. Compile runs under
CancellationToken.None since the result is shared by every waiter.
Also name the assembly after the whole cache key instead of a 16-char
prefix, so reuse-by-name is exact rather than probabilistic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(scripting): address Task 1 review feedback
- Give the concurrency test an actual rendezvous (Barrier(8) +
ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(16,16)) instead of relying on Task.Run to
happen to dispatch all 8 callers before the compile finishes; without
it the test could go green on a starved pool without ever racing.
- Fix cancellation docs (IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync,
ScriptEngine.CompileToInstanceAsync) to match the new behaviour: the
token gates entry only and cannot cancel a compile once it is shared
by other waiters.
- Add a TryGetValue+IsValueCreated fast path before GetOrAdd so the
capturing closure isn't allocated on every cache hit, mirroring
ScriptHelperRegistry.GetOrBuildHelpers.
- Move the CompiledScript record struct to the bottom of the class and
drop the now-unused System.Reflection using.

* fix(scripting): reuse an already-loaded script assembly instead of reloading it
* test(scripting): guard the eviction-and-retry recovery path
* fix(scripting): key the script cache by load context, not just by source
Two different helper sets that export the same namespaces previously shared
one CSharpEvaluator cache entry for identical mapping source, because the
helper reference's MetadataReference.Display is null for in-memory images
and contributed nothing to GenerateCacheKey. A second flow could silently
execute the first flow's helper implementations with no exception.
Thread an explicit cacheScope (the helper set's content-hash Key) through
IEvaluator.CompileToInstanceAsync/InvalidateScript and ScriptEngine's
CompileCoreAsync so the load context is folded into the cache key.
* test(scripting): guard the helper-set cache-scope wiring
The prior test only proved GenerateCacheKey honours a scope string; it did
not cover the actual bug, which was in ScriptEngine failing to pass one.
Deleting helperSet.Key from the CompileCoreAsync call site left every test
green.
Add a regression test that drives the real wiring (ScriptEngine ->
IScriptHelperRegistry -> IEvaluator): two helper sets export the same
namespace/type but return different values, and the same mapping source is
compiled against each through ScriptEngine. Verified it fails (second result
wrongly "A") with helperSet.Key removed, and passes with it restored.
Also add the missing negative case (two scope-less compiles still share one
cache entry), drop the pointless default on CompileCoreAsync's cacheScope
parameter, and treat an empty cacheScope the same as an absent one in
GenerateCacheKey.
* refactor(scripting): derive the cache scope from the load context
The explicit cacheScope string added in the previous commit let the scope
and the AssemblyLoadContext disagree — nothing enforced that a caller
passing loadContext also passed the matching scope, and an existing test
(Mapping_Can_Call_Referenced_Helper style call) already did exactly that.
CSharpEvaluator now derives the scope internally: a private
ConditionalWeakTable<AssemblyLoadContext, string> hands each context a
stable id on first use (Interlocked.Increment), keyed weakly so the table
is never what keeps a context alive. A null loadContext still yields a
null scope, so the no-helper path's keys are unchanged.
This removes the cacheScope parameter from IEvaluator (a NuGet-published
contract) entirely, reverts ScriptEngine.CompileCoreAsync and its call
sites to their pre-Task-3 shape, and removes HelperSet.Key along with the
invariant it required — a superseded helper set now gets a new context and
therefore a new scope automatically, with nothing to document or maintain.
GenerateCacheKey keeps its private cacheScope parameter; only the public
surface changed.

* refactor(scripting): correct the cache-scope retention comment and isolate its test
The LoadContextScopes doc claimed a superseded context's cache entries are
"stranded" and the context collected. That is wrong: _typeCache holds
CompiledScript.Context strongly for the singleton's lifetime, so a
superseded helper context and every assembly loaded into it are retained
for the process lifetime instead. Corrected the comment to say so, and
noted _typeCache as what pins it.
Also: removed a comment at GenerateCacheKey's |alc: append that duplicated
CompileToInstanceAsync's, trimmed the CreateFromImage/null-Display root
cause to its one home (GetCacheScope's doc) instead of three, collapsed the
scope id format to alc{id} (dropping the unobserved Name-based diagnostic
claim, keeping the load-bearing incrementing id), and added a note on
GetCacheScope explaining why ConditionalWeakTable's factory re-entrancy is
expected and must not be "fixed" into TryGetValue + Add.
Moved ScriptEngine_Compiles_Same_Mapping_Against_Different_Helper_Sets_
Without_Cross_Contamination, IHelperValueMapping, and BuildHelperMapping
out of SandboxedScriptingTests.cs (whose doc says its tests run without a

A subflow fault completes the parent correlation and then executes the

design, for the subflow's lifetime). Classify treated that entry as
Normal, so ReserveAsync rejected the expected Busy parent with
Instance:100031 and the fault surfaced as SubflowCompletionException.
Classify now maps IsErrorBoundaryTransition to OwnerReentry — the fault
callback is the continuation of the very chain that owns the Busy —
mirroring the resume path that already enters via IsInternalResume.

* feat(cache): enable generation memo by appsettings default and pin its semantics
The memo mechanism already shipped behind GenerationMemoSeconds (code default 0,
kept). Activation is the orchestration host's appsettings (5s) — the only host
wiring the component cache module. Tests pin: memo hit spends no distributed
read, the window expires on the injected clock, and a bump never leaves a
pre-bump token memoized, even when the bump write fails.

* feat(scripting): cache Dapr secret bundles in-process with a short TTL (#899)
* feat(scripting): cache Dapr secret bundles in-process with a short TTL
ScriptBase secret functions (GetSecret/GetSecretAsync/GetSecrets/
GetSecretsAsync) hit the vault on every call, overloading it under load.
Introduce ScriptSecretCache, a process-wide singleton that caches whole
secret bundles keyed by (storeName, secretStore) with a 30-second default
TTL, single-flight stampede protection, immediate eviction of faulted
fetches (no negative caching), and lazy TTL expiry via TimeProvider.
The cache is deliberately in-process rather than distributed so secret
material never transits Redis. Configurable via the Scripting:SecretCache
section (Enabled=false or TtlSeconds<=0 bypasses it). ScriptBase reads
through IScriptServices.SecretCache and falls back to direct Dapr access
when the cache is absent (legacy implementations and bare mocks).

* feat(scripting): serve sync GetSecret cache hits with a lock-free L1 probe
The sync GetSecret/GetSecrets wrappers delegated unconditionally to the
async path via GetAwaiter().GetResult(), which under load parks threads
even when the answer is already in memory. Add TryGetCachedSecret /
TryGetCachedBundle probes to IScriptSecretCache: a read-only, never-
blocking, never-fetching check that hits only on an already-created,
successfully completed, unexpired bundle entry. ScriptBase probes L1
first and only drops down to the blocking async path on a miss (cold,
in-flight, faulted or expired entry).
Hits are now structurally lock-free and allocation-free with no
sync-over-async involvement. Misses still block the calling thread by
nature of a synchronous API — single-flight keeps the vault at one call;
miss-heavy scripts should prefer GetSecretAsync (documented in README).
The probe never evicts; evict-and-refresh stays single-flight in the
async path.

* fix(tests): add missing using for IRelatedInstanceReader
SecretCacheOptionsBindingTests registers a substitute for
IRelatedInstanceReader, but the type lives in
BBT.Workflow.Scripting.Related and the using was never added — the whole
BBT.Workflow.Application.Tests project failed to compile with CS0246, so
none of the secret cache tests could run.
With the using in place the project builds and the 21 secret cache tests
(ScriptSecretCacheTests + SecretCacheOptionsBindingTests) pass.

* Flat trace lanes, job arming outside the status lock, and four defects found on the way (#900)
* fix(docker): give the Dapr scheduler enough tmpfs to hold its etcd store
The scheduler's etcd data dir was a 64 MB tmpfs. etcd preallocates a 64 MB WAL
segment and keeps snapshots and member data alongside it, so the store cannot fit:
the container dies with "no space left on device" and exits.
The consequence is not local to the scheduler. Once it is gone the sidecars cannot
resolve dapr-scheduler, every job arm fails, and because a failed arm only rolls
the row back to Pending — where nothing picks it up while the arming poller is
disabled — transitions stop running entirely and instances sit Busy. The local
stack could not survive a restart.
Raised to 512 MB in all five compose files. The light variants quote the value
differently, which is why they are easy to miss when grepping.

* fix(background-job): arm workflow timeout jobs instead of leaving them Pending
The timeout enqueue never passed `directly`, so it defaulted to false: the row was
persisted as Pending and the scheduler was never called. That made workflow
timeouts depend on the background-job arming poller, which is disabled
(BackgroundJob:WithHostedService = false) — so timeouts were never armed and never
fired. No exception, no log; the enqueue reported success and the row just sat
there.
Not a deliberate choice: four of the five enqueue sites in this codebase already
pass directly: true. This one was missed.
Verified against a local stack: flow.timeout rows now land Scheduled, where before
the fix every one of them stayed Pending indefinitely.

* fix(tracing): propagate trace context on notification output bindings
Dapr output bindings bypass HttpClient's DiagnosticsHandler — the sidecar
originates its own request to the component — so nothing carries a traceparent
unless it is passed as component metadata. DaprBindingTaskInvoker already did
this; the two notification dispatchers did not, so every notification left the
trace at the task boundary.
The stamping logic moves to DaprTraceMetadata, shared by the Application-layer
dispatchers. DaprBindingTaskInvoker keeps its inline copy: the Execution service
deliberately does not reference BBT.Workflow.Domain, and a layering edge is not
worth six lines. The comment there points at the shared helper.

* chore(deps): bump Aether to 1.0.36
Brings IBackgroundJobArmHandle / EnqueueWithDeferredArmAsync, which the accept
path needs to arm outside the instance status lock, plus jittered poll pacing in
the outbox, inbox and background-job arming loops.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf(workers): cap outbox and inbox idle polling at 10s instead of 60s
A 60 second ceiling put a measured 23 s of pure waiting into one observed trace
before the outbox even leased the message. Lowering the cap bounds the worst case
at 10 s; with 10 replicas per worker and the jitter Aether 1.0.36 adds, expected
pickup is around a second.
Measured idle cost of the change on one replica per worker: commits/s 0.22 -> 0.83.
Tuples and buffer hits are unchanged and blks_read stays at zero — the extra polls
return nothing, so they cost a transaction and an index probe, not data or disk.
Extrapolated to 10 replicas: roughly +6 commits/s, constant.
IdlePollingInterval and BusyPollingInterval are deliberately untouched. Idle is a
starting value, not a steady state: after a busy round the delay drops to 100 ms
and climbs from there, so a system with traffic is already responsive.

* feat(tracing): flatten trace lanes and move job arming out of the status lock
Two changes that share too many files to separate cleanly. Both come out of the
same investigation into why a single business request was hard to read and
occasionally slow.
## Flat trace lanes
A chained request produced a deeply nested trace: each auto-chained hop's
TransitionJob.Execute span was parented to the previous hop's span, so nesting
depth equalled chain depth. Measured on 22-hop traces, the deepest hop sat at
depth 53. With subflows the waterfall was unusable for finding a failure.
The cause was one field doing two jobs. The payload's TraceParent is the previous
hop — correct as a link, wrong as a parent. Splitting it fixes the shape:
TraceParent -> the predecessor, attached as an ActivityLink
TraceRoot -> the lane anchor, the actual parent
ParentTraceRoot -> the lane to return to, set only inside a subflow
The model is one lane per instance. A new lane opens only at a subflow handoff, so
a subflow's hops render flat underneath the PostCommit span that forwarded to
them, and depth grows with subflow nesting rather than chain length. After the
change the deepest hop of a 23-hop trace sits at depth 1.
All the policy lives in FlatLaneActivity. An anchor from another trace is linked
and never trusted as a parent, so a stale AsyncLocal or a relayed payload cannot
teleport a span. Absent anchor means exactly the previous behaviour, which is what
makes a rolling deploy safe in both directions. No migration: job payloads live in
the Dapr scheduler store, outbox events in a serialized blob.
Baggage could not carry the anchor. Every span here starts from an explicit
ActivityContext, which leaves Activity.Parent null, and Activity.Baggage walks
that chain — so baggage is already invisible to these spans today. Pinned by
ActivityParentContextSemanticsTests before anything was built on the assumption.
Wrapper spans that only added depth are gone: WorkflowExecutionService.Execute-
TransitionAsync, AsyncTransitionStrategy.ExecuteAsync and TaskCoordinator.Execute.
Task.Execute.{key} stays — it is the only span carrying per-task duration and the
task.failed / task.retry events. SyncTransitionStrategy keeps its [Trace]
deliberately: it stamps ActivityStatusCode.Error on its own span, and removing it
would move that onto the HTTP transaction and inflate APM error rates for ordinary
4xx business failures.
## Arming outside the status lock
The accept path held the instance status lock across the Dapr scheduler
round-trip. Measured under load, that call was essentially the entire lock hold —
arming p50 214 ms against a 198 ms median hold, p90 571 ms, worst 3.1 s — so every
other request on the same instance queued behind an external call. That breaks the
"millisecond-scale check-and-set" premise the Busy-as-mutex design rests on.
Only the row has to commit under the lock: the duplicate-job guard is a
check-then-insert with no database constraint, so the next contender must see it.
Telling Dapr does not. The accept now persists under the lock via Aether's
deferred-arm handle and arms after releasing it — one scheduler call, no job-row
read and no extra status write, because the handle carries the payload.
Auto-chain is untouched: it runs in the pipeline's ambient unit of work and holds
no status lock, so Aether already defers its arming to post-commit.
Also removes the 5 ms scheduling lead. It was not a correctness guard — arming
routinely completes after the instant it requested and Dapr fires past-due
one-shot jobs regardless (2167 observed, none lost, none redelivered) — so it only
spent latency on a path whose whole budget is ~20 ms.
## Verification
Integration, same environment, same filter, before and after: 27 passed / 3 failed
both times, the same three pre-existing MoneyTransfer failures, 67 s vs 71 s. Unit
suites sit at their pre-existing baselines (20 / 27 / 11) with 26 tests added.
Measured after: BackgroundJob.Schedule inside a held lock 0/59, from 59% before.
Lock hold p50 7.8 ms -> 2.55 ms, worst 30.1 s -> 48 ms. Every accepted transition's
job row reached Completed; none stranded in Pending.

* feat(fanout): FanOutTask (type 21) — dynamic parallel task execution with single-write join (#905)
* docs: add FanOutTask (type 21) design spec for dynamic parallel task execution
Approved brainstorming output: inline scatter-gather fan-out over a runtime
collection (itemsPath/ItemsSelector), four join policies, per-item error
boundary, single-writer output via one OutputHandler call, task-level maxDop
plus a process-level global bulkhead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add FanOutTask implementation plan and spec amendments
13 bite-sized TDD tasks grounded in actual engine/executor signatures:
TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only item execution, FanOutTaskExecutor
with bounded parallel loop and join policies, global bulkhead, observability,
meta/docs updates and the vnext-example integration scenario.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(domain): add FanOutTask (type 21) definition with config parsing
Adds TaskType.FanOut, registers the polymorphic discriminator "21" on
WorkflowTask, and introduces FanOutTask: inline-mode-only fan-out over a
runtime-resolved item collection, running a referenced inner task per item
with configurable parallelism, timeouts, and join policy (all/allSettled/
quorum/firstSuccess). Config validation is fail-fast via ArgumentException
inside Configure(), mirroring SubProcessTask. Executor, mapping contract,
and DI wiring are deliberately out of scope for this change.
* test(domain): close FanOutTask validation coverage gaps
Adds InlineData rows to Configure_Should_Reject_Invalid_Config covering
three guards that were implemented but unpinned by tests:
- task reference present but missing a required subfield (version omitted)
- task reference present but a required subfield is empty string (version: "")
- zero/negative itemTimeoutSeconds (the positive-timeout guard, distinct
from the existing itemTimeoutSeconds > batchTimeoutSeconds case)
- an unparseable join.policy string ("bogus")
No implementation changes; FanOutTask.cs is untouched.
* fix(domain): reject numeric/malformed FanOutTask config values
Two defects fixed, each pinned by a failing test first:
- join.policy accepted any numeric string via Enum.TryParse succeeding on
undefined values (e.g. "0", "99"), deferring the failure to wherever
runtime code switches on JoinPolicy. Now requires Enum.IsDefined too.
- Non-object task/execution/join (e.g. task: "oops", execution: [],
join: []) leaked a raw InvalidOperationException from JsonElement
instead of ArgumentException naming the offending property, unlike the
existing errorBoundary ValueKind guard. Applied the same ValueKind ==
JsonValueKind.Object check to all three.
Also: XML doc comments on the five public consts; Clone/Reset test now
asserts all 12 properties in both directions instead of 3, using a config
that populates quorum+minSuccess and errorBoundary so the assertions are
not vacuously true on shared nulls; added positive coverage for the valid
quorum path and for errorBoundary parsing actually populating OnError.
* feat(domain): add IFanOutMapping contract with FanOutItem/FanOutResult records
* feat(engine): add TaskEngineExecutionOptions for collect-only execution (suppress data apply, journal key override, prepared task, response capture)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(engine): address code review on TaskEngineExecutionOptions
- Assert a non-Flow origin in the Origin propagation test; Flow was the
fallback value, so the assertion could not fail.
- Make TaskExecutorContext.Origin required and update the four test call
sites; a defaulted parameter silently mislabels non-Flow executions.
- Document PreparedTask's retry lifetime (same instance reused across
attempts, unlike the factory path) and pin it with a retry test.
- Correct the TasksExecutionResult.Response doc: boundary-handled
failures also drop the response, not just infrastructure errors.
- Brace the two new CaptureResponse if statements.

* feat(fanout): add FanOutOptions and process-level concurrency bulkhead
Adds the process-wide bulkhead that later fan-out executor tasks will draw
item slots from: a single semaphore-backed limiter caps total in-flight
fan-out items across ALL batches in the process, so N concurrent workflow
instances each running a fan-out cannot multiply into N x maxDegreeOfParallelism
downstream calls. MaxConcurrentItems is validated at startup (Range + ValidateOnStart)
because a non-positive value would deadlock every fan-out batch on its first item.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(fanout): add itemsPath resolver with dot-path subset and item key extraction
* feat(fanout): add join policy evaluator (all/allSettled/quorum/firstSuccess)
Pure policy evaluation over settled FanOutItemResult batches. Quorum gets
an explicit empty-batch carve-out (succeeded=0 would otherwise fail the
threshold check against a validly-configured minSuccess>=1) so it matches
the domain rule that a no-op batch is not a failure for every policy but
firstSuccess.
* fix(fanout): remove Quorum empty-batch carve-out, align with FirstSuccess
FirstSuccess is definitionally Quorum with minSuccess=1 - same predicate,
succeeded >= threshold. The prior commit special-cased Quorum to succeed
on an empty batch while FirstSuccess still failed on the identical input,
which is an indefensible divergence between two spellings of the same
rule. Both now fail an empty batch as a direct fallout of the threshold
comparison (0 successes can never clear a threshold >= 1) with no special
casing needed. Only All/AllSettled succeed vacuously on an empty batch.
Corrects a semantics-table inconsistency caught by the coordinator.
* docs: correct fan-out empty-batch join semantics for threshold policies
firstSuccess is definitionally quorum(minSuccess=1); the original table had them
disagreeing on an empty batch. Threshold policies now uniformly fail a batch that
cannot satisfy their threshold.

* feat(fanout): add FanOutTaskExecutor with bounded parallel item execution and single-output join
* fix(fanout): propagate caller cancellation, derive TimedOut from item outcomes, keep failed-item payloads
* refactor(fanout): extract batch cancellation and error codes, flatten namespace, share the test fixture
* test(fanout): pin join policy early-stop, timeout and partial-failure behavior
* test(fanout): pin IFanOutMapping integration (item binding, single output, selector XOR, failure paths)
* feat(fanout): add structured logs, item spans and batch metrics
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(fanout): add developer guide, meta registry entry and default bulkhead config
Adds Workflow:FanOut:MaxConcurrentItems (default 64) to the Orchestration
host's appsettings.json (FanOut executor/options are only registered
there; Execution host never calls AddTaskHandlers), registers TaskType 21
in vnext-meta component-registry.json/features.json, and documents the
FanOut task end-to-end in docs/domain/fan-out-task.md (config schema,
join policies, IFanOutMapping contract, single-write invariant, error
codes, bulkhead, observability, and author-beware notes verified against
the actual executor rather than the design spec).
* fix(fanout): make itemAlias live in logs and item spans, correct its doc
itemAlias was parsed, cloned and reset but read by nothing, while its XML
doc claimed it drove default input binding and log readability. Neither was
true. Surface it as a structured field on FanOutBatchStarted and as a
vnext.fanout.item.alias span tag, falling back to a neutral "item" label when
absent or blank, and rewrite the doc to describe a reporting label only.
Default input binding is deliberately unchanged: it stays a flat
SetBody(item.Value), so no inner-task script sees a different shape.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(fanout): let a mapping override input binding without reimplementing default output
* docs(fanout): correct itemAlias and ordered claims to match shipped behavior
itemAlias became a genuine structured log field and item-span tag in
6dd83030 (log/span half), but the guide, the meta package, and the
executor's own doc comments never caught up — they still claimed the
executor reads it nowhere. Also close two design-spec deviations that
were never recorded as amendments: OutputHandler shipped optional
(4bd8941b) instead of required, and 'ordered' shipped as an accepted
no-op instead of controlling result ordering. Docs and XML comments
only; no runtime behavior changed.

* fix(scripting): keep header/route/query dictionaries typed across a parallel branch
* fix(subprocess): serialize parent correlation writes on the shared per-instance gate
* docs(fanout): correct validation split and mapping attachment point
Two defects surfaced while writing the Forge implementation spec.
The design spec's validation section still described a FanOutTaskValidator called
from WorkflowValidator, rejecting nested fan-out and the itemsPath/ItemSelector XOR
at definition time. That validator does not exist and was never built: fan-out
config lives in the task component, not the workflow document, so WorkflowValidator
never sees it. Both rules are executor preflight checks, which means publish does
not catch them and Forge Studio has to enforce them itself.
IFanOutMapping's doc comment claimed the script ships in the task's mapping field.
A type-21 component carries only type and config; the mapping rides the workflow's
task binding like every other task type.

* fix(fanout): attribute early-stop cancellations to FanOut:ItemCancelled
An item cancelled by the join policy's early stop while already inside the
task engine reported the engine's normalized exception code
(Task:Unknown:{itemTaskKey}:TaskCanceledException) instead of the documented
FanOut:ItemCancelled. Only the item cancelled before it reached the engine got
the contract code, so one batch reported two codes for one cause — and the
leaked string embeds the inner task key, so it is not even stable to match on.
FanOutErrorCodes values are public contract and authors branch on them.
MapEngineOutcome now asks FanOutBatchCancellation whether one of the batch's
own causes closed the item's window (StoppedItem — the tokens are the truth,
rather than pattern-matching error text) and re-attributes through Classify.
The two failure shapes are treated differently on purpose: an engine that did
not complete was interrupted, so our cancellation explains it; an engine that
completed and reported a task failure produced the item's own verdict, which
keeps its own code unless the failure is itself cancellation-typed.
A caller cancellation absorbed by the engine is now rethrown through the
existing when (CallerCancelled) filter, so a torn-down transition still
propagates instead of becoming N failed items.
The fixture's fake engine let the OperationCanceledException escape, which the
real engine never does — that fidelity gap is why the suite stayed green while
production leaked the code. It now swallows cancellation the way
TaskExecutionEngine's catch-all does, so every early-stop and deadline test in
the suite exercises the production shape.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(definitions): publish Configure-time authoring errors as 400, not 500
A component whose own Configure rejected the authored shape came back from
POST /api/v1/definitions/publish as an opaque HTTP 500 with the exception's
message — which already names the offending value AND the supported one —
discarded. Every component validator materialises the definition from its JSON
before it can inspect it, and only JsonException was caught, so the throw
escaped to the endpoint's generic handler.
This is not a fan-out bug. It affects every task type whose Configure
validates: FanOutTask's reserved mode "durable", a non-$.-rooted itemsPath,
maxDegreeOfParallelism below 1, itemTimeoutSeconds above batchTimeoutSeconds,
quorum without minSuccess, a non-object task/execution/join; HttpTask's missing
url; SubProcessTask's and GetInstancesTask's missing trigger domain/flow.
ComponentValidatorProcessor now catches ArgumentException around the single
validator invocation and reports it as a validation error keyed
{componentType}.{paramName}, so publish answers with the existing
App:900006 validation-failure shape and one consistent contract reaches tooling
and Forge Studio. Deliberately narrow: the validator call's entire job is to
materialise a definition and look at it, so everything else — including the
processor's own NotSupportedException and any infrastructure fault — still
surfaces as a 500, pinned by a test.

* fix(api,validation): resolve the payload envelope by its field set, and stop losing schema error details (#906)
* fix(api): detect the payload envelope by its field set, not one property
Payload-mode detection keyed on a single case-sensitive `attributes`
property, but the vNext envelope is a SET of independently optional
fields (`key`, `tags`, `stage`, `attributes`). Any standard envelope
that omitted `attributes` — or spelled it with different casing — was
classified free-form and wrapped WHOLE, so a transition/start schema was
evaluated against `key`/`tags` instead of the business payload:
{"key":"K1"} -> 400 "All values fail against the false schema"
{"Attributes":{...}} -> 400, though JSON binding is case-insensitive
key=K1&tags[]=a -> same, on the form-urlencoded path
On a transition with no schema the same misdetection was silent: the
envelope was persisted as business data (`attributes.key`).
Introduce `PayloadEnvelope` as the single envelope vocabulary and have
both detectors use it — `PayloadModeDetector` (JSON) and
`FormUrlEncodedJsonElementInputFormatter` (form), which had carried
duplicated, divergent copies of the rule. Standard now means: an
`attributes` property (case-insensitive), whatever sits beside it; or a
non-empty body whose top-level fields are all envelope metadata. The
empty object keeps its existing free-form normalization.
Contract note: auto-detection now reserves `key`/`tags`/`stage` at the
top level, so a free-form payload made up solely of those names must
send `x-vnext-payload-mode: raw`. Documented.

* fix(validation): stop dropping a node's own errors when flattening
A rejected payload could come back naming no field at all:
400 {"errors":{}, "details":"{\"Culture\":\"en-US\",\"Errors\":[]}"}
`FlattenErrors` treated a node's own errors and its child details as
alternatives — recurse when there are details, otherwise take the node.
But in the hierarchical evaluation tree a keyword's error sits on the
node that OWNS the keyword, and that node gains child `Details` as soon
as the schema evaluates any subschema. So for a schema with
`additionalProperties: false` and a nested object, a root-level
`required` failure was an error on the root beside a set of valid
children: the walk descended into the valid children, added nothing, and
the only error there was got dropped.
One empty list cost the caller both symptoms at once, because
