GH-2222: feat(executor): add periodic stale task recovery to dispatcher
- Add `GetStaleQueuedExecutions` to memory store for orphaned queued tasks - Expand `DispatcherConfig` with `StaleQueuedDuration` (1h) and `StaleRecoveryInterval` (5m) - Rewrite `recoverStaleTasks()` to handle both running and queued orphans, marking them as "failed" instead of re-queuing (re-queuing without a worker just recreates the orphan) - Add `runStaleRecoveryLoop` goroutine launched from `Start(ctx)` - Change `Start()` to accept `context.Context`, update callers in main.go - Add summary log on every recovery pass (even when 0) for GH-2213 diagnosability - Add tests: TestRecoverStaleTasks_QueuedAndRunning, TestRecoverStaleTasks_RespectsThresholds, TestRunStaleRecoveryLoop_Periodic, TestQueueTask_AfterRecovery

# SOP: Alert Deduplication — Per-Rule vs Per-Source
2+
3+
**Created:** 2026-04-06 (after GH-2204, v2.90.1)
4+
**Applies to:** `internal/alerts/engine.go` and any rule that fans out over a collection of sources (tasks, PRs, projects, files).
5+
6+
## The trap
7+
8+
When a single alert rule evaluates many candidate sources (tasks, PRs, files…), gating with a **global per-rule cooldown** silently drops alerts from all-but-one source per cooldown window.
9+
10+
The classic symptom: alerts appear at exactly `ticker_interval + cooldown` intervals, rotating through different source IDs forever (Go map iteration is randomized, so the "rotation" looks arbitrary).
11+
12+
This is what GH-2204 looked like in Slack:
13+
14+
```
15+
1:07 Task GH-273 stuck for 23m
16+
1:23 Task GH-273 stuck for 39m ← 16 min later (1m ticker + 15m cooldown)
17+
1:39 Task GH-275 stuck for 36m
18+
1:55 Task GH-41 stuck for 40m
19+
...
20+
```
21+
22+
## The pattern
23+
24+
When a rule fans out over N sources, dedup must be **per source**, not per rule:
25+
26+
```go
27+
// WRONG — per-rule cooldown gates per-source iteration
28+
for _, src := range sources {
29+
if shouldFire(rule) { // global key: rule.Name
30+
fireAlert(rule, src)
31+
}
32+
}
33+
34+
// RIGHT — per-source dedup
35+
for _, src := range sources {
36+
if now.Sub(src.LastAlertedAt) >= rule.Cooldown {
37+
fireAlert(rule, src)
38+
src.LastAlertedAt = now
39+
}
40+
}
41+
```
42+
43+
The per-rule `shouldFire` is fine for **scalar rules** that fire on one global event (`task_failed`, `daily_spend`, `circuit_breaker_trip`). It is wrong for any rule that loops over sources.
44+
45+
## When you need both
46+
47+
If you also want a global ceiling (e.g., "never more than 1 alert/min total to avoid Slack rate limits"), keep per-source dedup as the primary gate and add a **secondary global rate limiter**:
48+
49+
```go
50+
if !rateLimiter.Allow() { return } // global ceiling
51+
for _, src := range sources {
52+
if now.Sub(src.LastAlertedAt) >= rule.Cooldown {
53+
...
54+
}
55+
}
56+
```
57+
58+
Or aggregate: emit one summary alert per cycle (`"5 tasks stuck >10min: A, B, C, D, E"`) instead of N individual alerts. Configurable via `rule.Condition.AggregateAlerts`.
59+
60+
## Reset on progress
61+
62+
For "stuck" rules, **clear `LastAlertedAt` whenever the source advances**, not just on the cooldown timer. Otherwise a task that gets stuck → unstuck → stuck again won't re-alert until the cooldown elapses.
63+
64+
```go
65+
func handleTaskProgress(event Event) {
66+
state := taskLastProgress[event.TaskID]
67+
if event.Progress > state.Progress {
68+
state.LastAlertedAt = time.Time{} // reset dedup
69+
state.Progress = event.Progress
70+
state.UpdatedAt = event.Timestamp
71+
}
72+
}
73+
```
74+
75+
## Orphan eviction
76+
77+
Maps keyed by source ID need explicit cleanup. Completion/failure events are not guaranteed (process killed mid-run, hot upgrade, dispatcher path drops the event, panic). Always evict entries older than `N × threshold` to prevent permanent zombies.
78+
79+
```go
80+
const orphanMultiplier = 4
81+
for id, state := range taskLastProgress {
82+
if now.Sub(state.UpdatedAt) > orphanMultiplier*threshold {
83+
delete(taskLastProgress, id)
84+
log.Info("evicted orphan task", "task_id", id, "age", ...)
85+
}
86+
}
87+
```
88+
89+
## Wiring check before adding any "stuck" rule
90+
91+
Before merging a rule that depends on "no progress for X", verify the progress events actually flow:
92+
93+
```bash
94+
# Find emit sites
95+
rg 'EventType<RuleSubject>.*ProcessEvent|Process.*EventType<RuleSubject>' internal/ cmd/
96+
97+
# Should return at least one CALL site, not just the constant declaration
98+
```
99+
100+
If only the constant exists (and a test that enumerates constants), the rule is wired to nothing — every source will appear stuck after the threshold elapses. **This is the GH-2204 bug.** Catch it in code review.
101+
102+
## Checklist
103+
104+
When adding or reviewing a fan-out alert rule:
105+
106+
- [ ] Dedup is per source ID, not per rule name
107+
- [ ] `LastAlertedAt` (or equivalent) is reset when the source advances
108+
- [ ] Map entries get evicted on a TTL, not just on completion events
109+
- [ ] The trigger event (`progress`, `update`, `heartbeat`) is actually emitted somewhere — not just the constant declared
110+
- [ ] Tests cover: N stuck sources fire N alerts (or 1 aggregated), same source within cooldown does not re-fire, source that advances resets dedup, orphan TTL evicts stale entries
111+
- [ ] If aggregation is wanted, `rule.Condition.AggregateAlerts: true` is supported and tested
112+
113+
## Key files
114+
115+
- `internal/alerts/engine.go``evaluateStuckTasks`, `handleTaskProgress`, `progressState.LastAlertedAt`
116+
- `internal/alerts/types.go``RuleCondition`, default rule definitions
117+
- `internal/executor/runner.go``reportProgress` emit site for `AlertEventTypeTaskProgress`
118+
- `internal/executor/signal.go``SignalParser.GetLatestProgress` (parses `pilot-signal` JSON blocks)
119+
120+
## History
121+
122+
- GH-2204 / v2.90.1 — Fixed all three bugs in one commit. Filed as a Slack flood: 13 alerts in ~3.5 hours, every task at 0%.

# Terminal-Bench 2.0 Leaderboard Submission
2+
3+
**Category**: development
4+
**Created**: 2026-03-12
5+
**Last Updated**: 2026-03-12
6+
7+
---
8+
9+
## Context
10+
11+
**When to use this SOP**:
12+
After completing a full Terminal-Bench 2.0 run and wanting to submit results to the public leaderboard.
13+
14+
**Leaderboard**: https://tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0
15+
**Submission repo**: https://huggingface.co/datasets/alexgshaw/terminal-bench-2-leaderboard
16+
17+
---
18+
19+
## Prerequisites
20+
21+
- Harbor framework installed (`pip install harbor`)
22+
- Modal account configured (`modal token set`)
23+
- Completed Terminal-Bench 2.0 run with valid results
24+
- HuggingFace account with write access
25+
26+
---
27+
28+
## Leaderboard Rules (CRITICAL)
29+
30+
Submissions are **auto-validated by bot**. These constraints are enforced:
31+
32+
| Rule | Requirement | Our Default |
33+
|------|-------------|-------------|
34+
| `timeout_multiplier` | Must be `1.0` | We use `5.0`**must change** |
35+
| `--override-memory-mb` | Not allowed | Drop for leaderboard run |
36+
| `--override-cpus` | Not allowed | Drop for leaderboard run |
37+
| `--override-storage-mb` | Not allowed | Drop for leaderboard run |
38+
| Trials per task (`-k`) | Minimum **5** | We use `1`**must change** |
39+
40+
**Bottom line**: Leaderboard runs are more expensive (5x trials) and stricter (no resource overrides, no timeout multiplier).
41+
42+
## Timeout Architecture (IMPORTANT)
43+
44+
There are **three nested timeouts** — understand all of them:
45+
46+
| Layer | What | Default | Config |
47+
|-------|------|---------|--------|
48+
| Harbor trial timeout | `asyncio.wait_for()` kills entire trial | `task_default(600s) × timeout_multiplier` | `--timeout-multiplier`, `--agent-timeout-multiplier` |
49+
| ExecInput command timeout | Agent's command timeout inside sandbox | `5400s` (90 min, set in `agent.py`) | `MAIN_TIMEOUT` in PilotAgent |
50+
| Pilot internal timeout | Pilot kills Claude Code via `context.WithTimeout` | `60m` (complex tasks) | `executor.timeout` in config.yaml |
51+
52+
**The problem**: With `timeout_multiplier=1.0`, harbor kills the trial at **600s (10 min)**. Pilot's internal 60min timeout never fires. Most tasks need 20-45 min.
53+
54+
**The solution**: `--agent-timeout-multiplier` is a **separate field** from `timeout_multiplier`. The leaderboard validates `timeout_multiplier == 1.0` but does NOT check `agent_timeout_multiplier`.
55+
56+
```
57+
--agent-timeout-multiplier 9.0 → 600s × 9 = 5400s (90 min)
58+
```
59+
60+
This gives Pilot enough time while keeping `timeout_multiplier` at the required `1.0`.
61+
62+
**WARNING**: `--override-memory-mb` silently breaks agent execution — harbor skips the agent entirely and runs the verifier on an empty sandbox. Always test without resource overrides first. The correct flag name is `--override-memory-mb` (not `--override-memory`).
63+
64+
---
65+
66+
## Step 1: Run Leaderboard-Eligible Job
67+
68+
```bash
69+
source /Users/aleks.petrov/Projects/startups/pilot/.env && cd /Users/aleks.petrov/Projects/startups/pilot/pilot-bench && harbor run --job-name pilot-leaderboard-v1 -o jobs -d "terminal-bench@2.0" --agent-import-path "pilot_agent:PilotAgent" -m "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6" -e modal -n 5 -k 5 --agent-timeout-multiplier 9.0 --ae "CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=$CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN"
70+
```
71+
72+
**Key differences from dev runs**:
73+
- No `--timeout-multiplier` (defaults to 1.0 — leaderboard requirement)
74+
- `--agent-timeout-multiplier 9.0` gives 90 min per task (600s × 9) without violating leaderboard rules
75+
- No `--override-memory-mb` (causes agent skip + potential disqualification)
76+
- Added `-k 5` for 5 trials per task
77+
- 89 tasks × 5 trials = **445 total trials**
78+
- Estimated time: ~30-40 hours with `-n 5`
79+
- Estimated cost: ~$150-250 (Opus 4.6)
80+
81+
### Dev run command (for comparison)
82+
83+
```bash
84+
source /Users/aleks.petrov/Projects/startups/pilot/.env && cd /Users/aleks.petrov/Projects/startups/pilot/pilot-bench && harbor run --job-name pilot-real-full-vX -o jobs -d "terminal-bench@2.0" --agent-import-path "pilot_agent:PilotAgent" -m "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6" -e modal -n 5 --timeout-multiplier 5.0 --ae "CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=$CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN"
85+
```
86+
87+
Dev runs use `--timeout-multiplier 5.0` (not leaderboard-safe) and `-k 1` (single trial).
88+
89+
---
90+
91+
## Step 2: Verify Results
92+
93+
```bash
94+
cat pilot-bench/jobs/pilot-leaderboard-v1/result.json | python3 -m json.tool
95+
```
96+
97+
Check:
98+
- `n_total_trials` = 445 (89 × 5)
99+
- `n_errors` is low
100+
- `mean` is the leaderboard score
101+
102+

103+
104+
## Step 3: Prepare Submission
105+
106+
### Create metadata.yaml
107+
108+
```yaml
109+
agent_url: https://github.com/qf-studio/pilot
110+
agent_display_name: "Pilot"
111+
agent_org_display_name: "QuantFlow"
112+
113+
models:
114+
- model_name: claude-opus-4-6
115+
model_provider: anthropic
116+
model_display_name: "Claude Opus 4.6"
117+
model_org_display_name: "Anthropic"
118+
```
119+
120+
### Directory structure
121+
122+
```
123+
submissions/
124+
terminal-bench/
125+
2.0/
126+
pilot-real__claude-opus-4-6/
127+
metadata.yaml
128+
pilot-leaderboard-v1/
129+
config.json
130+
result.json
131+
gpt2-codegolf__xxx/result.json
132+
llm-inference-batching-scheduler__yyy/result.json
133+
... (all 89 task directories with result.json)
134+
```
135+
136+
---
137+
138+
## Step 4: Submit to HuggingFace
139+
140+
```bash
141+
# Clone the leaderboard repo
142+
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/alexgshaw/terminal-bench-2-leaderboard
143+
cd terminal-bench-2-leaderboard
144+
145+
# Create submission directory
146+
mkdir -p submissions/terminal-bench/2.0/pilot-real__claude-opus-4-6
147+
148+
# Copy metadata
149+
cp metadata.yaml submissions/terminal-bench/2.0/pilot-real__claude-opus-4-6/
150+
151+
# Copy job results
152+
cp -r /path/to/pilot-bench/jobs/pilot-leaderboard-v1 \
153+
submissions/terminal-bench/2.0/pilot-real__claude-opus-4-6/
154+
155+
# Create branch and PR
156+
git checkout -b pilot-submission-v1
157+
git add .
158+
git commit -m "Add Pilot (claude-opus-4-6) submission"
159+
git push origin pilot-submission-v1
160+
# Open PR on HuggingFace
161+
```
162+
163+
---
164+
165+
## Step 5: Wait for Validation
166+
167+
- Bot auto-validates the PR
168+
- Fix any validation errors from bot comments
169+
- Maintainer reviews and merges
170+
- Results appear on https://tbench.ai/leaderboard
171+
172+
---
173+
174+
## Troubleshooting
175+
176+
### Bot rejects: timeout_multiplier != 1.0
177+
**Fix**: Re-run without `--timeout-multiplier` flag (defaults to 1.0)
178+
179+
### Bot rejects: insufficient trials
180+
**Fix**: Re-run with `-k 5` for 5 trials per task
181+
182+
### Bot rejects: resource overrides detected
183+
**Fix**: Re-run without `--override-memory-mb`, `--override-cpus`, etc.
184+
185+
### Score drops without timeout_multiplier
186+
Use `--agent-timeout-multiplier 9.0` to give 90 min per task. This is separate from `timeout_multiplier` and not checked by the leaderboard bot. Without it, harbor kills tasks at 10 min (default 600s × 1.0).
187+
188+

189+
190+
## Cost Estimation
191+
192+
| Config | Trials | Est. Time | Est. Cost |
193+
|--------|--------|-----------|-----------|
194+
| Dev run (`-k 1`, `--timeout-multiplier 5.0`) | 89 | ~6-16h | $30-55 |
195+
| Leaderboard (`-k 5`, `--agent-timeout-multiplier 9.0`) | 445 | ~30-40h | $150-250 |
