Summary

Root cause (from #2241): WaitServiceState's reconnect-on-transient-error path opens a fresh provider.Subscribe stream, which on GCP starts a brand-new forward-only log query. If the one-time health-transition log entry was emitted while the previous stream was stalled, no amount of reconnecting can ever re-observe it — every reconnect behaves identically (idle, then reconnect) forever, until the caller's own context deadline kills it.

Fix

Provider.GetServices already exists and, for GCP, reads current service state from a project-update object independent of the log tail. WaitServiceState now polls it right after the transient-error backoff and before re-subscribing:

  • merges any matching (etag + tracked service) states into the tracked map
  • returns immediately if that already shows the target state, or a BUILD_FAILED/DEPLOYMENT_FAILED state
  • otherwise falls through to reconnecting the stream exactly as before — this is a fallback, not a replacement

This addresses the reconnect-loop for any transient error that causes a resubscribe (idle timeout, Unavailable, Internal, ResourceExhausted), not just the idle-timeout case from #2237.

Testing

  • go test -short ./pkg/cli/... — all packages pass, including new tests:
    • TestWaitServiceStatePollFallbackOnStalledStream/poll_observes_target_state_... — a stream that always errors transiently, paired with a GetServices mock returning DEPLOYMENT_COMPLETED, resolves successfully instead of looping.
    • .../poll_ignores_services_with_a_mismatched_etag — a poll response for a different etag doesn't short-circuit; the wait proceeds (and times out via context, as expected in the test).
  • make lint — clean on the changed files (20 pre-existing gosec findings elsewhere on main are unrelated).

Fixes #2241

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved deployment monitoring after temporary connection interruptions or stalled status updates.
    • Monitoring now continues through intermittent status-check errors and unrelated service versions.
    • Deployment completion is detected more reliably during reconnection.
    • Build and deployment failures are reported correctly instead of causing monitoring to stop prematurely.

…ects

A reconnected log-tail stream only observes state changes from the moment
it opens; if the target health transition happened while the previous
stream was stalled, no amount of reconnecting can ever see it again. On
GCP this manifests as an infinite reconnect loop that never resolves on
its own (#2241), even though #2237 correctly made the stall visible
instead of silent.

WaitServiceState now polls GetServices — which reads current state
independent of the log tail — right after a transient-error backoff and
before re-subscribing, so a missed transition is caught without needing
another round-trip through the stream.

Fixes #2241

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

WaitServiceState now polls current service states after transient stream errors. Polling filters by ETag and tracked services, detects completion or deployment failure, and continues after polling errors. Tests cover stalled streams, transient polling errors, mismatched ETags, and failure states.

Changes

Service state recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Polling fallback and failure handling
src/pkg/cli/subscribe.go
WaitServiceState polls GetServices after transient stream errors. Polling filters matching ETags and tracked services, detects completion or deployment failure, and treats polling errors as nonfatal.
Polling and reconnection tests
src/pkg/cli/subscribe_test.go, pkgs/defang/cli.nix
Tests configure GetServices responses and validate successful polling, mismatched ETags, transient polling errors, BUILD_FAILED, and DEPLOYMENT_FAILED states. The package vendor hash is updated.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a2d0b

The change adds a focused service-state polling fallback to prevent reconnect loops, with targeted tests and reported lint/test checks passing; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation

The changes address issue #2241 by polling GetServices during transient stream recovery, detecting matching target states and build or deployment failures, and continuing subscription reconnection when polling does not resolve the wait. Tests cover polling errors, mismatched etags, successful states, and failed states.

table-driven cases where GetServices returns an error and where the service
reaches BUILD_FAILED or DEPLOYMENT_FAILED. Assert polling continues after the
provider error and returns client.ErrDeploymentFailed for both failed states,

Comment thread src/pkg/cli/subscribe_test.go
Addresses CodeRabbit review on #2243: the poll-fallback test only
covered the target-state and mismatched-etag cases. Add cases for a
GetServices error (confirms polling isn't fatal and keeps retrying) and
for BUILD_FAILED/DEPLOYMENT_FAILED observed via poll (confirms
ErrDeploymentFailed propagates the same as the stream path).
github-actions Bot and others added 2 commits September 2, 2026 23:34
Small observability addition: when the GetServices poll fallback already
shows the target state, log it at debug level so a DEFANG_DEBUG=1 run
shows why no further stream reconnects happened — directly useful for
diagnosing the #2241 class of symptom in the field.

All checks green (go-test, nix-shell-test, CodeQL/Analyze, CodeRabbit review completed and approved) and mergeStateStatus is CLEAN. Not self-merging per policy — ready for @lionello to merge whenever convenient.

Recurred again just now on main (post-PR): Deploy Sample to gcp BYOC run, triggered by defang@main push at b3aaa2b. Same signature — WaitServiceState: transient error, reconnecting subscribe stream: idle timeout: no data received every ~2 min for 30 minutes until the job timeout cancels it. No code change needed here since this PR already targets the root cause; flagging for visibility since this is blocking main smoketests until it merges.
