What

The drain held the queue head in three parallel cells — one for the account quota, one for a settings refusal, one for a bin index the pass could not read. The three carried the same head and were mutually exclusive, but nothing made the exclusion structural: each halt arm cleared the other arms by hand.

One QueueHold { op_id, node, reason } now replaces them. The reason is Quota { needed_bytes }, Settings(SettingsRefusal) or BinIndex(DefaultsReason).

  • One pre-pass gate, hold_admits_the_head, dispatches on the reason and is the only place a hold lets go. The quota probe becomes quota_admits(needed_bytes), which returns a verdict rather than clearing a cell.
  • Every per-arm clear of another arm's state is gone. The three halt arms only set the one cell.
  • SnapshotView::queue_hold and SessionStatus::queue_hold replace the three public fields.
  • One wasm-bound QueueHold class replaces three. It carries reason as a stable name, neededBytes on a quota hold, and check on the two the host renders by name.
  • packages/client carries one QueueHoldDescriptor discriminated union in place of three nullable fields. The codec still fails closed: it refuses a reason this build cannot name, a check outside that reason's own vocabulary, and a quota hold with no byte count.
  • apps/web reads the one field: the queue hold notice dispatches on the reason, and heldBytes reads the quota reason alone.

The host reads the same information it read before, through one field.

Drive-by build fix

The drain test harness regains the writer_pseudonym and pointer_read_key arguments of its owner-root fixture. #1836 added those required fields and #1842 added this call site; the two merged without a textual conflict and left cargo check -p cipherbox-engine --all-targets failing on main. The fix is two lines at one call site.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test -p cipherbox-engine, cargo test -p cipherbox-fuse, cargo test -p cipherbox-wasm
  • cargo check -p cipherbox-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
  • pnpm -r typecheck, pnpm lint, pnpm lint:tracker-refs
  • packages/client vitest: 718 tests. apps/web vitest: 694 tests.

Body checks / follow-ups filed

Closes #1665.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Queue holds now use a single status with a clear reason: quota, settings, or bin-index.
    • Hold details include relevant information such as required storage, affected item, and applicable checks.
    • Upload and file-browser views provide more consistent queue-hold messaging.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Quota holds are handled in the upload panel without duplicate file-browser notices.
    • Invalid or incomplete hold information is rejected with clearer validation errors.

Note

Consolidate drain queue hold into one QueueHold with QueueHoldReason

  • Replaces three separate hold types (BlockedOp, SettingsHold, BinIndexHold) with a single QueueHold record carrying a QueueHoldReason discriminator across the Rust engine, WASM boundary, and TypeScript client protocol.
  • Updates SessionStatus, SnapshotView, Drain struct, and Engine to use one RefCell<Option<QueueHold>> slot instead of three fields. The WASM and client SnapshotDescriptor now expose one nullable queueHold property.
  • Drain::quota_admits now releases a quota hold when the current placement error is a settings refusal, letting the next pass classify it under the settings reason; undecided placement errors still keep the hold.
  • Behavioral Change: heldBytes returns required bytes only for a matching quota queueHold; introspection.settled now treats non-quota holds as settled; QueueHoldNotice renders notices only for settings and bin-index holds, not quota holds. The WASM API exposes one queueHold object with neededBytes/check conditionally present based on reason.

Macroscope summarized a84b955.

The drain held the queue head in three parallel cells, one for the account
quota, one for a settings refusal and one for a bin index the pass could not
read. All three carried the same head and were mutually exclusive, but nothing
made the exclusion structural: each halt arm cleared the other arms by hand.

One `QueueHold { op_id, node, reason }` replaces them, with the reason as
`Quota`, `Settings` or `BinIndex`. One pre-pass gate dispatches on the reason
and is the only place a hold lets go. The three public `SnapshotView` and
`SessionStatus` fields become `queue_hold`, the three wasm-bound classes become
one `QueueHold` that names its reason, and the client protocol carries one
discriminated union in place of three nullable fields.

The drain test harness also regains the two `OwnerRootSpec` fields that a
semantic merge conflict between two merged pull requests left off its owner-root
fixture, which broke the engine test build on main.

Walkthrough

The change consolidates quota, settings, and bin-index holds into one reason-discriminated QueueHold. Engine, WASM, client, and web snapshot surfaces now use queueHold.

Changes

Queue hold consolidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Drain queue-hold state
crates/engine/src/sync/*, crates/engine/tests/write_plane.rs
The drain uses one QueueHold and QueueHoldReason. Admission, clearing, harness wiring, and write-plane tests use the unified state.
Engine status and snapshot surfaces
crates/engine/src/facade.rs, crates/engine/src/lib.rs, crates/engine/src/sync/mod.rs, crates/fuse/tests/fuse_op_core.rs
SessionStatus and SessionSnapshot expose queue_hold. Engine wiring, exports, debug output, and mount-status tests use the renamed field.
WASM and client queue-hold boundary
crates/wasm/*, packages/client/src/worker/*, packages/client/src/index.ts
WASM exposes one queue-hold getter. Client descriptors form a reason-discriminated union. Decoding validates reasons, quota bytes, and reason-specific checks.
Web snapshot consumers and fixtures
apps/web/src/*, packages/client/src/testkit.ts, packages/client/src/broadcastTransport.test.ts
Web components and snapshot fixtures use queueHold. Quota holds remain available to upload handling. Settings and bin-index holds render queue notices.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a84b9

The unified queue-hold representation is propagated through the engine, WASM, client, and web surfaces, with regression coverage for the previously identified placement re-probe behavior.

quota_admits so an Err placement clears the existing quota hold before normal
placement classification proceeds. Preserve settings-hold creation for
deterministic refusals and retry behavior for unclassified placement errors, and
add regression coverage for both cases after an existing quota hold.

Comment thread crates/engine/src/sync/drain.rs
A head held over the account quota re-probes the quota on every tick, and a
placement the session could not decide made that probe answer "no room" without
ever asking. The member then read "over quota" while the cause was their own
settings, and the label stood until the settings were fixed.

The probe now separates the two placements it cannot use. A refusal of the
member's own settings is a verdict, so the hold goes and the pass re-takes the
hold its own rule names. An outage is not a verdict: the head stays held rather
than running a pass that would spend the unattributed budget on a placement no
pass can decide.

Review disposition

The review body posted one actionable comment and no "Nitpick" or "Outside diff range" section. Every item is listed below.

# Item Outcome
1 crates/engine/src/sync/drain.rs line 1908 — clear the quota hold when the placement is unavailable Accepted in substance, rejected as written. Fixed in a84b955 with a narrower rule, plus a regression test.

Item 1

The finding is right that a head held over the account quota keeps that hold under a placement the session cannot use, and that the member then reads "over quota" over a cause they cannot act on. The behaviour is not new in this pull request: the same early return stood in quota_admits_the_held_head before the refactor.

The proposed diff releases the hold for every Err placement. That is too wide. PlacementRefusal::holds returns None for SettingsUnavailable, so a settings record this device merely could not read reaches Halt::Unclassified, which charges the unattributed budget and dead-letters the op after 120 passes. Releasing there turns a waiting op into a dead letter the member must recover.

The fix returns the settings refusal instead: a refusal of the member's own settings releases the hold, so the next pass re-takes the hold its own rule names, and an outage keeps the head held and spends no budget. a_quota_hold_lets_go_of_a_refusing_placement_and_waits_out_an_undecided_one covers both arms and fails on the previous behaviour.

No other review item was raised.
