fix(maintenance): warn on moderate warm search latency - #1061
A completed maintenance pass could be reported as failed because connection setup plus one cold query exceeded 50 ms. This change warms the query once and records the median of five warm queries on the same read-only connection. Above 50 ms returns ok with warnings in JSON/logs/telemetry; above 500 ms exits 1. The ceiling is ten times the target. Deliberate deferrals retain 75.
Abort and unexpected-error records now reach the same configured maintenance.log named by the alert, with timestamp, status, mode and a safe reason. Non-75 aborts alert with the operational reason and retry action. Deferrals log deferred and leave alert state unchanged. Unexpected errors record only their class and say they hit an unexpected error; they do not instruct the user to resolve a gate. A successful pass, including one with warnings, clears the persisted failure episode. Dry runs do not write failure records or alerts.
Validation at 1e2d60b: B1/N2 reproduced first (5 failing /5 passing); focused maintenance/alerts suites 73 passed. Three real CLI processes with injected synthetic failures verified exits 1/75/1, actual temporary logs/alerts, no private exception value in those files, and no database creation. These exercise the CLI failure paths, not production maintenance. Ruff/diff checks passed. Local CodeRabbit reviewed both round-1 follow-up files with zero findings.
Normal scoped pre-push escalated the unmapped maintenance source to the full unit gate: 6,207 passed, 11 skipped, 70 deselected, 2 expected failures, 103 warnings; registration 3, isolated routing/eval 40, Bun 1 and FTS shell checks passed. Exit 0; no hook bypass. Tests use synthetic temporary data. No canonical DB operations, service changes, native macOS notification/UI, merge, release or deployment. BrainBar warning visibility belongs to the parallel UI lane.
B1 and N2 addressed for lead-routed round-2 Opus review. Fresh exact-head hosted CI is pending; earlier checks do not establish this head. Ready PR remains unmerged.

Note
Add warm search latency warning and robust failure handling to maintenance
Reworks the search-latency probe in maintenance.py to use one read-only connection, one warm-up query, and the median of five timed warm samples, so cold-start cost no longer skews the result
Warns (instead of aborting) when median warm latency is above the 50 ms target but under the 500 ms failure threshold; the warning is included in the result JSON, maintenance log event, and telemetry
Adds a _failure_alert helper so failure alerts carry the mode, reason, retry instruction, and log path instead of a generic notice
Treats MaintenanceAbort code 75 as a deliberate deferral only when the reason matches one of four allowlisted patterns (case-insensitive); deferrals are logged but skip failure notifications. Unexpected exceptions are logged and alerted with only their type, never their message value
Risk: MaintenanceResult and its serialized dict gain a warnings field, and the latency failure threshold moves from 50 ms to 500 ms — anything depending on the old threshold or output shape may see new behavior
Medium Risk
Changes maintenance success/failure semantics (latency warnings vs abort) and alert/logging behavior for scheduled jobs; consumers of maintenance JSON/telemetry should handle the new warnings field.
Overview Post-maintenance search latency no longer fails on a single cold query above 50 ms. _verify_search_latency warms once, then uses the median of five warm samples on a read-only connection. Median above 500 ms aborts with exit 1; between 50–500 ms the run succeeds with a new MaintenanceResult.warnings entry surfaced in CLI JSON, maintenance log, and telemetry.
CLI failure handling is reworked: deliberate gate skips (exit 75, regex-matched to BrainBar’s deliberateDeferrals) log deferred without job alerts; real aborts log aborted and alert via _failure_alert with the operational reason and log path. Unexpected exceptions log failed with only the exception type (no message). Dry runs skip failure logs/alerts; a successful pass (including warning-only) clears the maintenance alert episode.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Maintenance search-latency checks now use the median of five timed searches, excluding setup and warm-up time. Searches over 500 ms cause maintenance to fail; searches over 50 ms produce a warning without failing.
Maintenance aborts are now logged as deferred or aborted. Alerts are limited to non-deliberate aborts and include the reason and log location.
Unexpected maintenance errors now include the error type in logs and alerts.
Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius.
📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
Maintenance now measures warm search latency with five timed queries. It warns when the median exceeds 50 ms and aborts when it exceeds 500 ms. Results and events include warnings. Failure alerts include the failure reason and maintenance log path.
The latency check excludes connection setup and one initial query, then returns the median of five timed queries. It aborts above 500 ms and warns above 50 ms. Tests cover warm-up, outliers, thresholds, and warning behavior.
Maintenance warnings and failure alerts src/brainlayer/maintenance.py, tests/test_job_alerts.py
Maintenance results and events include warnings. Matching code-75 aborts are logged as deferred and do not trigger alerts. Other abort alerts include the reason and log path. Unexpected-exception alerts include the exception type and log path. Tests cover alert recovery, dry-run behavior, exception reporting, and deferral patterns.
Maintenance now warns on moderate search latency and alerts with more detail. However, if the maintenance log cannot be written, failure alerts may never be sent and abort exit codes may change. Make log writes non-fatal in the failure handlers before merging.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 44428
Safety gates remain enforced, but detailed abort reasons now reach notifications without consistent sanitization. Failure alerting also newly depends on successfully writing the maintenance log. These risks are limited to local maintenance and reporting; no expanded service privileges or network exposure were identified.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · observed: Abort reasons are newly forwarded verbatim to alert state, application logging, and desktop notifications. Those reasons can contain full process arguments, command stderr, or resume exception text rather than a safe operational category. Unexpected exceptions receive class-only reporting, but exceptions formatted into MaintenanceAbort reasons bypass that protection. Actual secret disclosure depends on diagnostic contents and notification visibility; existing stdout capture limits the claim of newly introduced local-log exposure.
Medium · reliability · observed: Both failure handlers now require a successful maintenance-log append before updating the failure episode or delivering an alert. An unwritable log or append error therefore prevents those operations and replaces the primary failure with a logging exception. For an abort, it also prevents the structured abort output and intended exit code. This weakens failure containment and operator visibility, including when maintenance has failed to restore resident services; the base handlers attempted alerting without this prerequisite.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The supported exposure is the local maintenance environment: diagnostics for the configured database can reach its maintenance-mode alert episode, application logs, and the user's desktop notification surface. Process-command influence requires a process holding the configured database or its sidecars; notification disclosure does not imply additional database privileges or cross-tenant reachability.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A non-deferred abort containing sensitive process arguments or diagnostic text can now expose that content through notifications. One concrete route is an unexpected writer detected by the post-backup gate, whose reason is wrapped in a code-76 abort and therefore is not suppressed as a code-75 deferral. No actual credential disclosure was demonstrated.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Unexpected exceptions are reduced to their class for the new failure log and alert. Notification messages are arguments to a fixed AppleScript, not interpolated executable text. Alert state is atomically replaced with mode 0600. These controls limit injection and file exposure but do not sanitize MaintenanceAbort reason contents or establish desktop-notification confidentiality.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The unchanged alert API serializes read-modify-write operations with an exclusive lock and suppresses repeated maintenance episodes. Notification errors are contained after persistence. A crash after persistence but before notification, or an alert-state write failure, remains an existing limitation rather than a newly introduced concern. The PR adds a separate earlier failure point through its mandatory log append.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Separate typed failure categories and safe operational summaries from raw diagnostics. Use the safe summary for alert state and notifications, and explicitly control access to any retained process arguments or exception details.
proposed — Make failure-log persistence and alert reporting independent attempts while preserving the original maintenance outcome. A diagnostic append failure should not prevent the failure episode, abort output, or intended exit code.

Which commit this whole table is about. On a pull_request event the checkout is GitHub's synthetic merge ref, whose sha is not on the PR — #759's table printed 13fa724278bf while that PR's head was 4632f979 — so this row names the PR-head parent instead, the sha a reviewer can actually see. The comparison sha is read live from repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{n} when the table is collected, not taken from the event payload, because the payload cannot know the run has been overtaken. Residual window, stated rather than papered over: a push landing between that read and the comment being posted is not caught here — the run for that push refreshes the table.

What every comparison is measured AGAINST, and who says so. The baseline fields of tests/fixtures/sprint_gate/corpus.json (queries, latency_baseline_ms, thresholds) are compared to the ratchet-attestation artifact of the latest successful push or (no-input) workflow_dispatch run of ratchet-attest.yml on main, fetched through the Actions API — a PR run cannot write to another run's artifacts. A field that differs is RED unless that main run measured the new value. The calibrated socket collector can license p50/p95; every absent measured path stays locked, so missing collection never passes as permission for a hand edit. Boundary: the comparator is this PR's checkout of ci_ratchet_table.py, diff-reviewable, not tamper-proof.

B1 FIXED in 1e2d60b: main writes the operational abort reason (or unexpected exception class only) to the timestamped maintenance.log record before alerting; the alert uses that exact resolved path. Tests read the named file after non-75 aborts and unexpected errors.
N2 FIXED: exit75 logs deferred and does not call job_alerts.report, leaving the existing episode unchanged. Non-75 aborts still alert. Unexpected exceptions use “hit an unexpected error (Class); see ” without gate-retry wording. Dry-run remains non-writing; clean/warning success still clears alerts. N1 remains with the UI worker.

Keep log-write failures from suppressing failure alerts.
If the configured maintenance log is unwritable, _write_log raises before either handler calls report. An abort then loses its intended exit code, and an unexpected error produces no alert. This also affects an error caused by the earlier success-path log write: the exception handler retries the same unwritable path. Handle log-write errors separately so the handlers can still report the failure and preserve the intended error behavior.

A completed maintenance pass could be reported as failed because connection setup plus one cold query exceeded 50 ms. This change warms the query once and records the median of five warm queries on the same read-only connection. Above 50 ms returns ok with warnings in JSON/logs/telemetry; above 500 ms exits 1. The ceiling is ten times the target. Deliberate deferrals retain 75.
Abort and unexpected-error records now reach the same configured maintenance.log named by the alert, with timestamp, status, mode and a safe reason. Non-75 aborts alert with the operational reason and retry action. Deferrals log deferred and leave alert state unchanged. Unexpected errors record only their class and say they hit an unexpected error; they do not instruct the user to resolve a gate. A successful pass, including one with warnings, clears the persisted failure episode. Dry runs do not write failure records or alerts.

Exit 0; no hook bypass. Tests use synthetic temporary data. No canonical DB operations, service changes, native macOS notification/UI, merge, release or deployment. BrainBar warning visibility belongs to the parallel UI lane.
B1 and N2 addressed for lead-routed round-2 Opus review. Fresh exact-head hosted CI is pending; earlier checks do not establish this head. Ready PR remains unmerged.

Note
Add warm search latency warning and robust failure handling to maintenance
_failure_alerthelper so failure alerts carry the mode, reason, retry instruction, and log path instead of a generic noticeMaintenanceAbortcode 75 as a deliberate deferral only when the reason matches one of four allowlisted patterns (case-insensitive); deferrals are logged but skip failure notifications. Unexpected exceptions are logged and alerted with only their type, never their message valueMaintenanceResultand its serialized dict gain awarningsfield, and the latency failure threshold moves from 50 ms to 500 ms — anything depending on the old threshold or output shape may see new behaviorMacroscope summarized 4442824.
Note
Medium Risk
Changes maintenance success/failure semantics (latency warnings vs abort) and alert/logging behavior for scheduled jobs; consumers of maintenance JSON/telemetry should handle the new
warningsfield.Overview
Post-maintenance search latency no longer fails on a single cold query above 50 ms.
_verify_search_latencywarms once, then uses the median of five warm samples on a read-only connection. Median above 500 ms aborts with exit 1; between 50–500 ms the run succeeds with a newMaintenanceResult.warningsentry surfaced in CLI JSON, maintenance log, and telemetry.CLI failure handling is reworked: deliberate gate skips (exit 75, regex-matched to BrainBar’s
deliberateDeferrals) logdeferredwithout job alerts; real aborts logabortedand alert via_failure_alertwith the operational reason and log path. Unexpected exceptions logfailedwith only the exception type (no message). Dry runs skip failure logs/alerts; a successful pass (including warning-only) clears the maintenance alert episode.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 4442824.
