🍪 biscuit:
This is a draft PR, so the question is whether it's ready to hand to human reviewers — I think it nearly is, with one real concern and one design question worth resolving first.
What this change does
The monolithic Coordinator struct (1800+ lines in coordinate.go) is split into six focused types — Foundation, SecretStore, ApplicationManagement, WorkloadControl, EntityMaintenance, CloudControl — stitched together into a ControlPlane. On the runner side, Runner is split into ClusterAccess, NodeStorage, SandboxHost, SandboxAgent, NodePresence, and StorageAgent, each independently startable. The server boot graph gets a matching set of fine-grained boot_*.go components. A new boot.DependsOn option adds order-only edges to the graph without publishing a value. The result is a meaningful staged-startup model: foundation is ready before management, management before workload control, and so on.
What's solid
The decomposition is conceptually clean. Foundation.Start uses context.WithoutCancel precisely at the right moment — it keeps RPC alive across graph cancellation so dependents can still make their final coordinator calls before the stop hook drains it. CloudControl.Stop intentionally delegating to its context-bound goroutines (rather than calling Foundation.Stop, which is correct since Foundation owns the actual shutdown) is carefully documented. The DependsOn tests cover ordering and reverse-shutdown order explicitly and correctly. The TestWorkAdmissionWaitsForExecutionCapabilities test now validates the right boundary (workload control, not just runner/buildkit).
Concern worth acting on before human review
ControlPlane.Stop does not stop CloudControl. cloud.Stop() is a deliberate no-op — the comment says its goroutines are context-bound — but ControlPlane.Stop is the path taken by test/embedded callers that call ControlPlane.Start directly (the "compatibility path" per the comment). In that path CloudControl.Start launches reportStatusPeriodically as an untracked goroutine with a copy of the caller's ctx. When Stop is called and the caller's context is cancelled, those goroutines do exit; but Stop returns before they finish, so the caller has no way to know they're done. For production the server boot graph cancels the context before calling stop hooks, so it works correctly. For tests and embedded callers it leaves goroutines running until GC. This is low-blast-radius today (status-reporting goroutines, not anything stateful), but the asymmetry between Start and Stop in the compatibility path is worth at least a comment documenting the design decision, if not a wait-group.
Design question
ControlPlane.Start creates a RunnerEndpoints instance on the fly but doesn't retain it for Stop. NewRunnerEndpoints(c.Foundation).Start(ctx) is called, the returned pointer is thrown away. If RunnerEndpoints ever acquires lifecycle (Stop), this will silently fail to clean up. Worth retaining the instance on ControlPlane even if it's currently just a pass-through.

in Close before clearing the session, and check it in establishSession’s retry
loop and during session publication so no session becomes READY after shutdown.
If publication is rejected because closed is set, route the session through the

🍪 biscuit: ✅ ready to merge — auto-review, non-blocking
I reviewed this PR again in its current state, checking all prior threads and reading the changed files directly.
My earlier concerns are fully resolved
CloudControl goroutine cleanup — CloudControl now owns a cancel context.CancelFunc and a sync.WaitGroup. Start creates a derived context, stores the cancel, and launches reportStatusPeriodically through c.wg.Go. Stop calls c.cancel() then c.wg.Wait(), so shutdown blocks until the goroutine exits. ControlPlane.Stop now calls c.cloud.Stop() first, before tearing down maintenance and the rest. The compatibility path is fully symmetric.
RunnerEndpoints retained on ControlPlane — NewControlPlane now allocates (or accepts) a *RunnerEndpoints and stores it as c.runnerEndpoints. ControlPlane.Stop calls c.runnerEndpoints.Stop(). If RunnerEndpoints ever grows a meaningful Stop, it will be called correctly.
Additional cleanup that landed
ControlPlane.Start now has a defer-based rollback on partial startup: if any later step fails, it calls c.Stop with a fresh 30-second context, so previously started components aren't orphaned. That was the CodeRabbit concern about partial startup, and it's handled cleanly.
ClusterAccess.Start now uses a retErr-named return and a deferred cleanup to close the RPC state if a later step in the same function fails — addressing the CodeRabbit concern about the etcd client leaking on mid-startup errors.
NodePresence now has a closed bool field guarded by sessMu. establishSession checks it at the top and again atomically before publishing the session, returning a sentinel errNodePresenceClosed if it races with Close. superviseSession's retry loop also checks r.closed before each attempt and exits cleanly on the sentinel. The race CodeRabbit flagged is covered.
Overall
The decomposition is coherent, the lifecycle symmetry is now correct across all paths, and the failure-cleanup work is solid. I'm comfortable marking this ready to graduate to human review.

🍪 biscuit: ✅ ready to merge — auto-review, non-blocking
I re-checked the PR in its current state (598a2ba), reading all threads, the top-level comments, and the relevant files directly. Nothing has changed from the analysis I documented in my previous review — all the concerns that were open are addressed in the code.
Every item from my prior review is confirmed resolved:
CloudControlownscancelandwg;Stopcallsc.cancel()thenc.wg.Wait().ControlPlane.Stopcallsc.cloud.Stop()first.ControlPlanestores all six components (includingrunnerEndpoints);Stopguards each with a nil check and calls them all.ControlPlane.Startuses a namedretErrreturn and a deferred 30-secondc.Stop()rollback for partial-startup failures.ClusterAccess.Startuses a namedretErrreturn and defersrs.Close()(plusr.state = nil) on any failure after the RPC state is created.NodePresencehas aclosed boolfield guarded bysessMu, checked at the top ofestablishSessionand again atomically before publishing the session — correctly handling the race between session publication and shutdown.
Two CodeRabbit threads still show as unresolved in the UI (the ControlPlane.Start partial-startup rollback and the ClusterAccess.Start RPC cleanup). Both are fully addressed in the current code; they just haven't been closed in the thread list. Since they belong to CodeRabbit, I'm noting this here rather than closing them.
This is still a draft, which is fine — the substance is solid and it's ready to graduate to human review.

The boot graph could only see a monolithic coordinator and runner, so consumers waited for unrelated migrations, controllers, and host setup. Those aggregate Start calls also hid which object owned each shutdown path. Split both roles into capability-sized components with typed outputs, and use order-only dependencies where readiness matters without passing data. Reconstitute ControlPlane and Runner handles after boot for direct callers, while keeping ingress in the data plane and preserving RPC through orderly reverse-dependency shutdown.

The test asserts
Shutdownreturns no error within 100ms.http3.Server.Shutdownreturns the context error when the deadline expires, so a slow or loaded CI machine fails this test even when the regression is fixed. Use a larger context timeout and assert on elapsed time, or use a timeout of a few seconds, which still fails fast if the connection blocks the drain indefinitely.♻️ Proposed change

CoordinatorandRunnerremain useful names for node roles. In our code, though, the corresponding types had become catch-all bags for “everything this process starts.” That hid the real readiness boundaries, so a lot of the more intelligent boot graph edges could not be drawn without opening those bags and laying their parts directly onto the graph.This introduces a good chunk of new names. I tried to keep each one descriptive and to bundle together things that are either categorically similar or genuinely need to boot together. I know they are not perfect, but each boundary now represents a capability another part of the system can actually use.
The coordinator side now breaks down like this:
cluster-foundationapp-version-migrationsecret-storerunner-endpointsapplication-managementworkload-controlentity-maintenancecloud-controladmin-apiThe runner side becomes:
cluster-accessnode-storagesandbox-hoststorage-agentsandbox-agentnode-presenceOnce the graph is up,
ControlPlaneandRunnerare role-level views reconstituted from these pieces. They do not hide another startup sequence.Ingressintentionally remains outsideControlPlane; it is part of the data plane.What this buys us:
DependsOnexpresses readiness-only ordering without inventing fake data.Repository-wide compilation, focused tests, race tests, and vet pass.
