Review: PR #4547 — Execute distributed assignments concurrently
Multiple parallel review passes converged on a consistent set of findings. Summarized and de-duplicated below, most important first.
1. Dropped in-flight assignment on cancellation (correctness)
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs (RunAsync, ~line 30-53)
The pump prefetches the next pendingDequeue task unconditionally at the bottom of every loop iteration, then only Task.WhenAll(running) is awaited on exit — pendingDequeue itself is never awaited if the loop exits via cancellation. If cancellation fires (pipeline FailFast propagation, or the routine masterWorkerCts.CancelAsync()/executionCts.CancelAsync() at end of run) right after pendingDequeue = DequeueAsync(...) is reassigned but before the next while check, an already-claimed assignment from the coordinator is silently discarded — never executed, never added to running. The module then sits unresolved until the master's independent ModuleResultTimeout eventually reports a spurious TimedOut failure instead of a clean shutdown.
Suggestion: Use a SemaphoreSlim-based acquire/release pump (the codebase already has this idiom in IParallelLimitProvider/ParallelLimitHandler, used elsewhere in the engine) instead of the hand-rolled HashSet<Task> + RemoveWhere(IsCompleted) + Task.WhenAny pump. That pattern makes "a dequeued task is always tracked" structural rather than something that has to be gotten right by ordering, and it also removes the O(running.Count) rescan on every iteration (see #5 below). At minimum, the in-flight pendingDequeue must be drained/awaited (or explicitly canceled and its result discarded) before the loop exits.
2. Distributed results silently dropped when the local module task is faulted/canceled (correctness)
src/ModularPipelines/Engine/ExecutionBackendContext.cs (TryApplyResult, ~line 12-26)
TryApplyResult only writes into _resultRegistry when TrySetDistributedResult succeeds, or as a fallback when the module's local task already completed successfully. Pre-PR code unconditionally called _resultRegistry.RegisterResult(...). If a module's ModuleState is already faulted/canceled locally (e.g. scheduler cancellation) at roughly the same time a distributed result arrives via CollectResultAsync/RegisterFailureResult, neither branch fires and the result is discarded entirely — downstream consumers (e.g. DependencyResultApplicator) see null instead of any result for that module.
Suggestion: Register into _resultRegistry unconditionally (as before), independent of whether the completion source could be set — the registry and the completion source represent different concerns (last-known-result vs. task completion) and shouldn't be coupled through a single conditional.
3. TryApplyResult's return value is discarded, hiding conflicting results
src/ModularPipelines/Engine/Executors/PipelineExecutor.cs (ApplyBackendResults, ~line 87-113)
When a backend (e.g. a retrying/redelivering custom IExecutionBackend) returns two distinct IModuleResults for the same module type, the second call to TryApplyResult returns false (per BackendContextAppliesResultIdempotently's own documented semantics) but the return value is never checked, so the conflicting result vanishes with no exception or log.
Related to this same method:
- Opaque failure mode: matching planned modules to results via string
TypeName/Namecomparison throws a genericInvalidOperationException("matched 0/2 planned modules") when a backend'sTypeNameis unset andNamecollides across namespaces — far from the actual backend bug, and hard to debug for third-party backend authors. - Efficiency: this does two full O(n) LINQ scans (
.Any()then.Where().ToArray()) per result, when the codebase already has an O(1) lookup pattern for this exact purpose (DependencyResultApplicator.BuildModuleLookup, already used identically inWorkerModuleExecutor.csandDistributedModuleExecutor.cs). For a large distributed run this is O(N×M) purely to re-derive information already available onresult.
Suggestion: Route all result application through IExecutionBackendContext.TryApplyResult exclusively (it already holds the real IModule reference, no string round-trip needed), log/surface a false return instead of swallowing it, and reuse BuildModuleLookup if any local matching is still needed.
4. DistributedOptions.MaxParallelism isn't validated at startup
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs (GetMaxConcurrency, ~line 8-19)
Unlike the global ConcurrencyOptions.MaxParallelism (validated in OptionsValidator.cs), this new option is only validated lazily inside GetMaxConcurrency, called from within ExecuteAsync. Setting MODULARPIPELINES_MAX_PARALLELISM=0 (or negative) lets the pipeline start successfully and then throws ArgumentOutOfRangeException mid-run instead of failing fast at startup like its global counterpart.
Suggestion: Add this to OptionsValidator alongside ConcurrencyOptions.MaxParallelism so misconfiguration surfaces immediately.
5. Hand-rolled bounded concurrency duplicates an existing idiom
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs (~line 24-55)
The manual HashSet<Task> + RemoveWhere(IsCompleted) + Task.WhenAny pump reimplements what IParallelLimitProvider/ParallelLimitHandler (semaphore-based, used for the local ParallelLimiterAttribute path) already does more simply and safely. Two different bounded-concurrency mechanisms now coexist in the engine, and this is exactly the class of bug (see #1) a semaphore-based acquire-then-run avoids by construction. A future fix to one pattern won't propagate to the other.
6. DequeueAsync retries immediately with no backoff on error
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs (~line 56-77)
If the coordinator becomes unreachable and dequeueAsync keeps throwing (non-cancellation exceptions), the loop spins immediately again every iteration — a tight busy-retry that burns CPU and floods logs until cancellation. This is a pre-existing pattern, but this PR now routes both the master's local loop and every remote worker's loop through it, amplifying the blast radius.
Suggestion: Add a short backoff (even a fixed delay) between retries on non-cancellation dequeue failures.
7. Near-verbatim duplication between master and worker executors
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Master/DistributedModuleExecutor.cs (ExecuteAssignmentAsync/ExecuteAndPublishAsync/PublishFailureAsync, ~line 693-846) vs. src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/WorkerModuleExecutor.cs (~line 237-394)
These are duplicated almost verbatim (resolve type → look up module → apply dependency results → try/catch → publish/fail), differing only in the coordinator reference and minor details — and they've already drifted (differing log message text/fields, master wraps the runner call in DistributedAssignmentExecutionScope while worker doesn't). Any future bugfix to assignment resolution, artifact handling, or failure publishing is likely to land in only one copy.
Suggestion: Extract a shared helper parameterized by the coordinator (and an optional pre/post hook for the two spots that differ) to remove ~150 duplicated lines and eliminate this drift risk going forward.
8. Inconsistent null-scheduler semantics after removing the Null Object
src/ModularPipelines/Engine/Execution/ModuleRunner.cs (~10 call sites, e.g. line 137, 205, 228, 238, 344, 375, 453, 463, 559, 568)
Deleting WorkerModuleScheduler (a true Null Object implementing IModuleScheduler as no-ops) in favor of IModuleScheduler? scheduler means each call site now applies a different, uncommented null policy: TryMarkModuleStarted treats null as "proceed" (?? true), MarkModuleCompleted/HandleExecutionFailure treat null as a silent no-op, while UploadProducedArtifactsAsync/HasRunnableArtifactConsumerAsync hard-throw InvalidOperationException on null. The throw-paths' safety currently depends entirely on the unenforced invariant that _manageArtifactsLocally is false whenever moduleState.Scheduler is null (wired once from distributedOptions.Value.Enabled) — if a future refactor breaks that coupling, the exception surfaces deep inside module execution instead of at startup, with no compiler signal for which policy applies at a new call site.
Suggestion: Either keep a Null Object (simplest — restores one uniform, compiler-checked behavior everywhere) or make the "requires a scheduler" precondition explicit and validated once (e.g. in ModuleState's constructor/DI wiring) rather than scattered per-method null-handling with three different meanings.
Relatedly, IModuleRunner's explicit-scheduler overloads (ExecuteAsync/ExecuteWithoutDependencyWaitAsync(ModuleState, IModuleScheduler, ...)) are now dead in production — every real call site switched to the no-scheduler overloads that read moduleState.Scheduler internally, and only ParallelLimitHandlerTests.cs still exercises the old shape. Worth removing or re-pointing the tests at the real overloads so test coverage matches production code paths.
9. Diagnostic regression: silent worker shutdown
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs (DequeueAsync)
The previous per-iteration catch (OperationCanceledException) { LogInformation("Worker {Index} shutting down", ...); break; } in WorkerModuleExecutor.ExecuteAsync is now a silent return null with no logging anywhere in the new pool. Not a correctness bug, but operators lose the log line that used to distinguish clean shutdown from abrupt termination.
None of the above are dealbreakers individually, but #1-#3 are real correctness gaps introduced by this refactor (lost assignments, dropped results, swallowed conflicts) and #7/#8 are maintainability risks worth addressing before this pattern is copied further. Nice performance win going from sequential to concurrent distributed execution — the concurrency-safety of the new pool loops themselves (shared _resultRegistry/moduleLookup state across concurrently-running assignments) was traced and looks fine for now.

Review: #4547 — Execute distributed assignments concurrently
This PR replaces the master/worker's strictly-sequential assignment execution with a bounded-concurrency DistributedWorkerPool (semaphore + task pump). The concurrency itself is a solid, well-scoped addition, but it exposes a couple of pre-existing single-threaded assumptions that no longer hold, plus a real cancellation-token mismatch. Findings below, most severe first.
1. Data race in DependencyResultApplicator.Apply on shared dependency modules (blocking)
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/DependencyResultApplicator.cs:67-68
resultRegistry.RegisterResult(depModule.GetType(), result);
ModuleCompletionSourceApplicator.TryApply(depModule, result);RegisterResult unconditionally overwrites (_results[moduleType] = result, confirmed in IModuleResultRegistry.cs:307-315), while TryApply → TrySetResult is idempotent/first-write-wins. Before this PR, assignment execution was strictly sequential, so this couldn't race. Now, with DistributedWorkerPool running assignments concurrently, two sibling assignments that both depend on an already-resolved module C will each deserialize their own copy of C's result and call these two calls concurrently on the same shared depModule instance. The registry's stored object and depModule's own ResultTask.Result (set by whichever TrySetResult won) can end up as two different, value-equal-but-reference-distinct instances.
This directly causes a second problem: PipelineExecutor.ApplyBackendResults (src/ModularPipelines/Engine/Executors/PipelineExecutor.cs:112-123) does a ReferenceEquals(resultTask.Result, result) check as a "was this already applied correctly" guard, and throws InvalidOperationException("...conflicting result...") if it fails. If module C also happens to be part of the same process's own module list, this diverging-instance race can trigger that exception spuriously — a new crash mode introduced by this PR.
The PR already has the right pattern for this elsewhere: ExecutionBackendContext.TryApplyResult uses the conditional TryRegisterResult (IModuleResultRegistry.cs:326-337, TryAdd-based) specifically to keep the registry aligned with whichever result wins the TrySetResult race. DependencyResultApplicator.Apply should use the same TryRegisterResult pattern instead of the unconditional RegisterResult, so a losing writer doesn't overwrite the registry after another assignment's result has already been accepted.
2. Cancellation-token mismatch causes spurious error logging (should fix)
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Master/DistributedModuleExecutor.cs:673-701, src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs:96-113
RunMasterWorkerLoopAsync calls DistributedWorkerPool.RunAsync(..., cancellationToken: workerCancellationToken), but inside the lambda it executes non-AlwaysRun assignments with a different token: executionCancellationToken = pipelineCancellationToken (line 688-690). DistributedWorkerPool.ExecuteAsync's guard is catch (OperationCanceledException) when (cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested) — and that cancellationToken is the pool's own workerCancellationToken, not pipelineCancellationToken.
If pipelineCancellationToken cancels (e.g. a fail-fast failure) while workerCancellationToken is still live — which is the normal case, since workerCancellationToken is only cancelled later in finalize/complete-always-run paths — a benign, expected cancellation from a non-AlwaysRun assignment falls through the when guard into catch (Exception) { onError(exception); }, logging "Master worker loop encountered an error" for what used to be silently handled by the old code's unconditional catch (OperationCanceledException) { break; }. Worth passing the actual execution token through to the pool's cancellation classification, or having the lambda catch/reclassify OperationCanceledException itself before it reaches the pool's generic handler.
3. concurrencyGate.WaitAsync(CancellationToken.None) ignores cancellation (minor)
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs:46
When all maxConcurrency slots are busy and cancellation fires, a dequeue that already claimed a new assignment is stuck waiting on the gate with CancellationToken.None — it can't unwind until a running execution finishes naturally and releases a slot. The cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested check only runs after this wait completes (line 53), so shutdown responsiveness is worse than the token passed in should guarantee. Suggest WaitAsync(cancellationToken) with a catch for the resulting OperationCanceledException.
4. Hand-rolled bounded concurrency vs. existing Parallel.ForEachAsync pattern (design suggestion)
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs:26-62
The local execution backend already solves this exact problem — throttling module execution to IParallelLimitProvider.GetMaxDegreeOfParallelism() — via Parallel.ForEachAsync in ModuleExecutor's scheduler path. This PR introduces a second, independent concurrency-limiting mechanism (manual SemaphoreSlim + List<Task> pump with its own dequeue-retry/error-handling loop) for the distributed path. That's not wrong, but it means two different bounded-concurrency implementations with different cancellation semantics now have to be maintained and reasoned about separately — and, as finding #3 shows, the hand-rolled one's cancellation handling is already less complete than what Parallel.ForEachAsync gives for free. If the dequeue-then-execute shape doesn't map cleanly onto Parallel.ForEachAsync (it's pull-based, not over a fixed collection), consider at least extracting the semaphore-gate pattern into a small shared helper so future concurrency fixes apply once.
Minor / non-blocking
PipelineBuilder.ActivateDistributedModeIfConfiguredduplicates the coordinator-replacement block (FindLastServiceIndex/RemoveService/AddSingleton<Deferred...>) once forIDistributedMasterCoordinatorand once forIDistributedWorkerCoordinator— worth factoring into one generic helper parameterized by coordinator/deferred type.- The test-only convenience overload
ExecuteAsync(IReadOnlyList<IModule> modules) => ExecuteAsync(modules, new ExecutionBackendContext(_resultRegistry), CancellationToken.None)is duplicated identically acrossModuleExecutor.cs,DistributedModuleExecutor.cs, andWorkerModuleExecutor.cs. - The private
UpdateMaximum(ref int, int)CAS-loop test helper is duplicated verbatim inDistributedWorkerPoolTests.csandWorkerModuleExecutorTests.csinstead of living in shared test helpers. DistributedAssignmentExecutor.ExecuteAsyncmerged two previously-distinct log messages ("type not registered" vs. "instance not found") into one generic"Cannot resolve module assignment {ModuleTypeName}"— makes triaging registration vs. wiring bugs from logs harder.

Addressed the blocking concurrency review at current head d65a9bc. Dependency application now serializes the module apply/register pair and registers the result actually accepted by ResultTask, preserving replacement of stale local registry entries. The worker pool now cancels slot waits and recognizes cancellation from the exception's actual token; the master also suppresses cancellation against its selected execution token. Added deterministic race and cancellation regressions. Validation: distributed tests 167/167 and core solution Release build passed. @claude please review the current head. |

Review: #4547 — Execute distributed assignments concurrently
This is the third review pass on this branch. This head (d65a9bcd7d43830d1dd0cfd28e600dc45e478a5f) is a small, targeted fix commit (3 source files, +45/-11) responding to the previous review at 3c2dbdce. I checked each of that review's findings against the current diff:
- #1 data race in
DependencyResultApplicator.Apply— fixed.Applynow locks per-depModulearoundTryApply+ registry write, and computes the registry value from the actual completion-source winner (internalModule.ResultTask.Result) rather than trusting its ownresult. This self-corrects even against the unlockedExecutionBackendContext.TryApplyResultpath, since both derive the written value from the same authoritative, already-completedResultTask. The newConcurrent_Dependency_Results_Keep_Module_And_Registry_Alignedtest exercises this directly. Good fix. - #2 cancellation-token mismatch (spurious error logging) — fixed. The master's per-assignment lambda now catches
OperationCanceledExceptionagainst its ownexecutionCancellationToken, andDistributedWorkerPool's innerExecuteAsynccatch was widened to also checkexception.CancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested. Reasonable belt-and-braces fix. - #3
concurrencyGate.WaitAsync(CancellationToken.None)(minor) — "fixed" in a way that reintroduces a worse, previously-blocking bug. See below. - #4 (design suggestion, hand-rolled concurrency vs.
Parallel.ForEachAsync) and the "Minor / non-blocking" list — untouched, but these were explicitly non-blocking/optional, so that's fine for this pass.
The concurrency-gate fix drops an already-claimed assignment on cancellation (blocking — regression)
src/ModularPipelines/Distributed/Worker/DistributedWorkerPool.cs lines 40-53 (
var assignment = await pendingDequeue.ConfigureAwait(false);
if (assignment is null)
{
break;
}
try
{
await concurrencyGate.WaitAsync(cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
}
catch (OperationCanceledException) when (cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested)
{
break;
}By this point assignment has already been dequeued — i.e. permanently removed/claimed from the coordinator's queue (confirmed: the in-memory backend does _workQueue.RemoveAt(i) and the Redis backend's Lua script does an unconditional LREM; neither has lease/visibility-timeout semantics, so nothing ever re-queues it). If cancellationToken fires while waiting for a free execution slot, the loop now breaks and assignment is discarded — never added to running, never executed, and no result or failure is ever published back to the coordinator.
This is exactly the class of bug the first review round flagged as blocking finding #1 ("Dropped in-flight assignment on cancellation") and which the author's own summary said was fixed by making the worker loop "always await an already-started dequeue." That fix addressed the dequeue step; this new change reintroduces the identical failure mode one step later, at the concurrency-gate wait — after the item is already claimed. The new test Cancellation_Stops_Assignment_Waiting_For_Concurrency (DistributedWorkerPoolTests.cs) actually asserts this drop as the expected behavior (executionCount == 1 after the second, already-dequeued assignment is abandoned), so the regression is intentional but not recognized as a problem.
Consequence in a real cross-process run: the worker that drops the assignment and the master waiting for its result are separate processes/machines connected only via the coordinator queue and heartbeats — the master has no visibility into the worker's local cancellation. The master will sit in CollectResultAsync/WaitForResultAsync until DistributedOptions.ModuleResultTimeout (default 45 minutes) elapses, then log "Distributed module {Module} timed out waiting for result — worker may have died", register a TimeoutException/ModuleStatus.TimedOut failure, and cancel the whole pipeline — turning what should be a clean, fast shutdown into a 45-minute hang followed by a misleading timeout error. This is worse than the finding it was meant to fix (#3 was rated "minor" precisely because the old WaitAsync(CancellationToken.None) guaranteed no claimed work was ever lost — it only delayed shutdown).
Suggested fix: don't let cancellation abandon work that's already been claimed. The safest option is to keep the semaphore wait unconditional (WaitAsync(CancellationToken.None)) for this specific step — since maxConcurrency is bounded and every running assignment's own executeAsync already reacts to cancellationToken, this wait is bounded and won't hang independently of the running work completing/cancelling. Cancellation-responsiveness for new work is already handled correctly one level up, at the pendingDequeue/DequeueAsync step, which never claims anything once cancelled. If faster shutdown for a claimed-but-not-yet-slotted assignment is genuinely wanted, publish an explicit failure/cancellation result for it (the codebase already has this idiom in DependencyResultApplicator.PublishResolutionFailureAsync) before dropping it, so the master fails fast instead of waiting out the 45-minute timeout.

Addressed the current-head blocking review in 0fa842f. The already-claimed assignment now waits for its execution slot without cancellation, then enters the normal execution/failure path with the cancelled execution token. Failure publication has its own bounded cleanup token; a cancelled worker token no longer prevents the coordinator receiving the terminal result. The pool regression failed with one execution instead of two before the fix. A worker-level regression also failed with zero published results instead of two. Both pass now, along with all 187 distributed tests and 37 focused core tests. Formatting and the production docs build pass. The branch now includes #4515's validated current-main backend implementation. Old intermediate backend hardening was replaced by that authoritative implementation; this avoids restoring the removed worker scheduler or regressing identity-based result matching. Parallel dispatch retains main's dependency-result cache, RunId semantics, execution-location context, and AlwaysRun dequeue cancellation behavior. New CI/review is pending; #4515 remains the prerequisite. |
Greptile SummaryThe PR changes distributed workers and the master-local worker to execute assignments concurrently under global and per-node limits.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge because no blocking failure remains within the eligible follow-up-review scope. No blocking failure remains.

Review: #4547 — Execute distributed assignments concurrently (head This branch has already been through many review rounds (multiple @claude passes, CodeRabbit, Greptile) that caught and fixed a series of real concurrency bugs: the dropped in-flight assignment on cancellation, the 1. public async Task PublishResultAsync(SerializedModuleResult result, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(result, _jsonOptions);
await _database.HashSetAsync(_keys.Results, result.ModuleTypeName, json);
await _database.KeyExpireAsync(_keys.Results, _keyExpiration);
await _subscriber.PublishAsync(RedisChannel.Literal(_keys.ResultChannel(result.ModuleTypeName)), json);
}This was already flagged by CodeRabbit's review at the previous head ( This directly defeats the hang-prevention mechanism the last few rounds of this PR were built around: Note StackExchange.Redis 3.2.1's Minor / non-blocking

Addressed the Redis cancellation finding from CodeRabbit (4001816260) and Claude (5658279306) in b6e7ec5. StackExchange.Redis 3.2.1 exposes no CancellationToken parameter on these three methods. PublishResultAsync now checks cancellation before issuing each stage and uses Task.WaitAsync(cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false) for HashSetAsync, KeyExpireAsync, and PublishAsync. This bounds the caller's wait, including DistributedFailurePublisher's 30-second cleanup window. Commands already sent may still complete; cancellation does not roll back Redis changes. Four deterministic regressions failed before the change and passed after. They cover an already-cancelled token and cancellation while each Redis stage is blocked, including no later stages after the blocked command completes. Release core/Redis builds passed with zero warnings or errors; all 194 distributed and 55 Redis tests passed, with eight live Redis tests skipped because no connection string was configured. Standard scoped formatting and all 61 API baseline checks passed. Also addressed the private-lock suggestion: DependencyResultApplicator now uses a ConditionalWeakTable<IModule, Lock>, preserving one private lock per shared module without retaining completed module instances. Existing concurrent accepted-result/registry tests remain green. Retained the worker pool's IsCompletedSuccessfully pruning deliberately: unexpected faults remain available for the final Task.WhenAll to observe. Removing faulted tasks without observing them would discard failures; the review confirms this is non-blocking. Rebased onto the merged #4644 main revision. Regenerated the core baseline rather than hand-editing the conflict; only MaxParallelism accessors are added. The earlier info-severity core formatting resource limit remains deferred to CI without raising limits or retrying that check. Awaiting the new CI/review cycle. |

Review: PR #4547 — Execute distributed assignments concurrently Verified the current head ( One correctness issue remains, plus two smaller findings. 1. Worker-side failure results always report var failureResult = ModuleResultFactory.CreateException(

Addressed all three findings in issuecomment-5658681454 in 3b4b796:
Four regression cases failed before the changes. All 198 distributed tests and 45 core validation tests now pass; the Release core solution builds with zero warnings/errors. Scoped formatting and git diff --check pass. The core test compilation emits existing warnings in unrelated fixtures; the previously recorded full info-severity formatting resource limit remains deferred to CI. Also diagnosed CI job 103848146937 (run 34802417113): Missing_Result_Times_Out_And_Completes_Pipeline hit its separate three-second WaitAsync deadline, which included startup/cleanup as well as the one-second module timeout. It now uses the existing five-second TUnit cancellation guard, matching the adjacent test, and additionally verifies TimedOut status and cancellation of the actual result-wait token. The module timeout, test guard, and exactly-once scheduler-completion assertion are retained. No failing test was skipped or rerun unchanged for green. |

Distributed workers and the master's worker loop execute assignments concurrently, bounded by the pipeline's global limit.
DistributedOptions.MaxParallelismandMODULARPIPELINES_MAX_PARALLELISMcan lower each node's limit. One assignment is dequeued ahead while execution slots are occupied.Cancellation stops new claims while draining every claimed assignment. Failure and resolution-failure publication uses an independent, bounded 30-second cleanup window. The master publishes a terminal result for cancelled claims. Cancelling an in-memory or SignalR result waiter no longer cancels shared result storage, so another waiter or a late AlwaysRun dependency can retrieve the published result.
Precompleted-result publication observes caller cancellation, including SignalR delivery-fence waits and Redis command waits. Redis publication checks cancellation before each command and cancels each wait; commands already sent may still complete. Dependency-result application uses atomic module completion and reads back the accepted result, keeping the registry aligned without per-module locks. Once a fence is acquired, result completion remains atomic. Expected master cancellation logs at Debug while retaining bounded terminal-result publication.
When result application rejects a candidate, scheduling and publication use the accepted module result. Rejected cache candidates do not create cache hits. The local backend propagates caller cancellation to ordinary modules while keeping scheduling alive for cancellation results and AlwaysRun cleanup. Both failure modes retain this behavior.
The branch is rebased onto main at b4786da, which includes the merged execution-backend prerequisite #4515 and test hang guards from #4678. It preserves dependency-result references/cache, RunId validation, execution-location context, and node-local ExecutionHint and ParallelLimiter behavior.
Worker-side failure publication now preserves terminal status: cancellation reports Cancelled and other exceptions report Failed. Distributed.MaxParallelism validation runs even when PipelineOptions is absent. The missing-result timeout test uses its existing five-second test cancellation guard, retains the one-second module timeout, and verifies TimedOut status, lifecycle-token cancellation, and exactly one failed scheduler completion.
Validation at 3b4b796:
Earlier unchanged-area validation remains recorded in comment 5658539503: 55 Redis tests passed, with eight live-server tests skipped because no test connection string was configured; Release Redis build and all 61 baseline checks passed. SignalR validation previously passed all 52 tests. Unchanged documentation was built with Node 24.14.1 and yarn (331 documents and 25 analyzer pages).
Current-head CI and review are required before merging.
Closes #4388
