Summary

  • Persists each worker's task registry as one comparable fingerprint on the workers row, so the
    one host in a fleet that discovered a different set of tasks is visible from the registry
    instead of by going host by host. worker protocol: registry fingerprint in the hello handshake #661 landed this check for attached executors; in-process
    workers never speak that protocol, and they are where Deferred task registration and autodiscovery #657's @task + Queue.autodiscover
    discovery actually runs.
  • Spends the major it costs: #[non_exhaustive] on the five public types that grow every time the
    protocol or the registry does, so the next additive change to any of them is a minor.
  • Pins the fingerprint algorithm and its vectors in BINDING_CONTRACT.md. Once the value lands in
    a storage column it crosses an SDK boundary and becomes contract material.

Closes #704.

Changes

Rust core

  • Migration 0012_worker_registry_fingerprint — nullable text on workers, same shape as
    0009_worker_sdk, idempotent on both SQLite and Postgres.
  • WorkerRegistration and WorkerInfo gain registry_fingerprint; NewWorkerRow::joining and
    From<WorkerRow> carry it; the Redis backend hsets it on register and reads it in
    list_workers.
  • Worker::spawn computes it from TaskRegistry::task_names(), taken before the registry moves
    into the dispatcher. A caller that supplies its own pool keeps its handlers on its own side, so
    that registry is empty and fingerprints as None — the row must not claim a registry this
    process cannot see.
  • worker::fingerprint goes from pub(crate) to pub and is re-exported: the sibling SDK crates
    call it.

Public API hardening

  • #[non_exhaustive] on ExecutorMessage, SchedulerMessage, the ExecutorMessage::Hello
    variant, AttachedExecutor, WorkerRegistration and WorkerInfo.
  • ExecutorMessage::hello(id, sdk, version, tasks, slots) returns a HelloBuilder;
    protocol_version defaults to PROTOCOL_VERSION and token to None, both overridable.
  • WorkerRegistration::new(worker_id, queues, threads) plus one setter per optional field.
    Required is what a correct worker cannot omit; everything else is something a shell may not know
    about itself.

SDK registration paths

  • Python fingerprints the live task dict — the very dict the dispatcher looks names up in — so the
    row cannot advertise a task set the worker will not run. queue.workers() exposes the key.
  • Node and Java gain tasks on their WorkerOptions and pass their handler names.
    taskConfigs/taskPolicies carry only the tasks that were given a policy, so a registry read
    off either would omit every task that took the defaults.

Dashboard

  • dto.rs and api-types.ts carry the field; a Registry column badges the fingerprints that
    are not the fleet's agreed-on one. A hash means nothing until it is compared against its peers,
    so the column does the comparing: the largest group is the intended registry, and a tie flags
    every group — a split fleet has no side to clear.
  • Nothing compares rows on the workers table itself. A heterogeneous fleet is normal there — one
    worker serves email, another serves video — so a blanket warning would be noise.

Docs

  • BINDING_CONTRACT.md gains a Registry fingerprint section: the algorithm, eight vectors, and why
    each choice is what it is. The last four rows are two pairs that collide under an encoding which
    concatenates or separates instead of length-prefixing.
  • Python worker/queue API reference rows and a dashboard guide paragraph.

Notes for review

The two stale things in the design that predate this branch, both corrected. A full
implementation was written while #661 was in progress and parked. It carried a
Hello.registry_fingerprint wire field, which #661 replaced with derivation from the tasks[]
already on the frame — dropped, since a second copy of the same fact is free to disagree. And every
vector on it predates the length-prefixed encoding review of #703 introduced:
{invoices.send, reports.build} is fafd30ef8ebcb7de, not 91df0f7323f38326. Recomputed against
an independent implementation before pinning, and the Python, Node and Java tests each assert that
same constant, which is the point of having it.

Semver, for whoever cuts the release. cargo semver-checks check-release -p flexiq-core
reports three major lints, all of them the #[non_exhaustive] markers:
enum_marked_non_exhaustive, enum_variant_marked_non_exhaustive, struct_marked_non_exhaustive.
Notably not constructible_struct_adds_field#[non_exhaustive] subsumes it, which is exactly
the trade: this is the last additive change to these types that costs a major. flexiq,
flexiq-workflows and flexiq-mesh report no update required. No version string is touched here;
the release decides the number.

Test plan

  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings — default, postgres, redis
  • cargo test --workspace, and the doctest on the new hello builder
  • cargo test --workspace --exclude flexiq-python --features postgres,workflows against a live
    PostgreSQL — postgres_storage_tests covers the new column
  • cargo test --workspace --features redis,workflows against a live Redis —
    redis_storage_tests likewise
  • Python: pytest tests/ 1505 passed / 12 skipped; ruff check, ruff format --check,
    mypy clean over 328 files
  • Node: pnpm test 746 passed / 6 skipped; tsc and biome clean
  • Java: ./gradlew build — 582 tests, 0 failures
  • Dashboard: pnpm run ci (biome + tsc + vitest + build) — 151 tests
  • /api/workers byte parity between the Python dashboard and flexiq-server — 30 passed

New coverage: the migration rewind and its idempotence; the storage contract across all three
backends, including that a shell reporting no registry reads back as absent rather than ""; a
worker recording its fingerprint and a worker with nothing registered recording none; the contract
vectors; one registration test per SDK; six dashboard unit tests for the divergence rule.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Workers now report optional fingerprints for their registered task handlers across supported SDKs.
    • Worker listings and the dashboard display fingerprints and highlight workers with unique task sets.
    • Added configurable worker task metadata and a more flexible handshake builder.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fingerprints remain consistent regardless of task registration order and are omitted when unavailable.
  • Documentation

    • Updated worker API and dashboard guidance to explain registry fingerprints.

Adding a field to WorkerRegistration or the hello frame is a major release
today. Both are designed to grow, so mark them non_exhaustive and give the two
types external crates construct a builder to build with.
Discovery makes a worker's registry implicit, and an unregistered task name is
a fatal failure — so a worker that imported part of its task tree dead-letters
everything for the rest in silence. Attached executors are covered by the hello
comparison; in-process workers, where discovery actually runs, were not.
The value now crosses an SDK boundary through a storage column, so the
algorithm is contract material. Pins the vectors a re-implementation gets
wrong — the framing pairs and the newline case — and asserts them here too.
Read off the very dict the dispatcher looks task names up in, so the row
cannot advertise a task set this worker will not run.
WorkerOptions gains tasks: taskConfigs carries only the tasks given a policy,
so a registry read off it would omit every task that took the defaults.
WorkerOptions gains tasks: taskPolicies carries only the tasks given a retry
policy, so a registry read off it would omit every task that took the defaults.
A hash means nothing until it is compared against its peers, so the column
badges the fingerprints the fleet does not agree on rather than printing all
of them the same. A tie for largest flags every group: a split fleet has no
intended registry to clear the other half against.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR defines a cross-SDK task-registry fingerprint contract, persists optional worker fingerprints, propagates them through Java, Node, and Python integrations, exposes them in worker APIs, and adds dashboard divergence detection.

Changes

Worker registry fingerprint

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fingerprint contract and public exports
crates/flexiq-core/BINDING_CONTRACT.md, crates/flexiq-core/src/worker/*, crates/flexiq-core/src/lib.rs
The contract specifies UTF-8 ordering, length-prefixed encoding, empty-registry behavior, and reference vectors. The fingerprint helper is publicly exported.
Extensible worker and handshake APIs
crates/flexiq-core/src/storage/records.rs, crates/flexiq-core/src/worker/protocol.rs, crates/flexiq-core/src/worker/remote.rs, crates/flexiq-core/tests/*
Worker and protocol types are non-exhaustive. Builder APIs construct worker registrations and executor hello frames.
Worker fingerprint persistence
crates/flexiq-core/migrations/*, crates/flexiq-core/src/storage/*, crates/flexiq-core/tests/rust/storage_tests.rs
A nullable workers.registry_fingerprint column is migrated and propagated through row models, SQLite, Redis, registrations, and worker listings.
SDK task registry registration
crates/flexiq-{java,node,python}/**, sdks/{java,node,python}/**, crates/flexiq-core/src/worker/runner.rs
Worker startup paths compute fingerprints from complete registered task-name sets and include them in registration metadata. Cross-SDK tests verify stable values and order independence.
Worker API and dashboard surfaces
crates/flexiq-server/src/dashboard/dto.rs, crates/flexiq-{java,node,python}/**, dashboard/src/features/workers/*, dashboard/src/lib/api-types.ts, docs/content/docs/python/**
Worker responses expose optional fingerprints. The dashboard adds a Registry column and marks non-majority fingerprints.

Publish workflow validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Published crate baseline checks
.github/workflows/ci-rust.yml, .github/workflows/publish-crates.yml
Publish-readiness documentation now covers MSRV, rustdoc, and dry-run checks. Semantic-version checks run conditionally for crates with published baselines.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0d386

This PR adds worker registry fingerprints across storage, SDKs, the dashboard, and release automation, but the current version still risks breaking Java consumers, incorrectly flagging valid worker-role differences, and allowing mutable release automation to run with elevated permissions. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

- Around line 174-179: Update the fingerprint computation in the worker setup
around registry_fingerprint so a supplied dispatcher does not fingerprint unused
registered handlers. When dispatcher is Some, persist no registry fingerprint;
retain the existing registry_fingerprint(registry.task_names()) behavior only
when the worker uses its own registry.

In `@dashboard/src/features/workers/utils.ts`:
- Around line 28-45: Update divergentFingerprints to group workers by their
canonicalized queues before counting registry_fingerprint values, so
fingerprints are compared only among workers eligible for the same jobs. Select
the majority fingerprint independently within each queue group and return the
union of divergent fingerprints across groups, preserving tie and
insufficient-count behavior per group. Add coverage for independent queue
groups.

separately.

constructor overload and have it delegate to the new 15-argument constructor
with registryFingerprint set to null, while preserving the existing constructor
behavior for callers that provide a registry fingerprint.

register() plus dispatcher() is legal and silently drops the handlers, so the
row advertised a task set the worker cannot execute — false divergence from the
one column that exists to make divergence visible.
Every pinned vector was ASCII, which UTF-8 and UTF-16 order identically, so a
re-implementation that sorted by UTF-16 code units passed all of them.

Adding the non-BMP row made "the last four rows are two pairs" false. Naming
each row keeps the prose correct as the table grows.

A branch still declares the released version, so semver-checks reads
every breaking change there as a broken patch; the release is where a
version number exists to be judged against.
