fix(agent): retry what the worker should have — DNS blip, browser crash, LLM 429 hold-off (#406); 1.66.4 - #407
Conversation
…sh, LLM 429 hold-off (#406); 1.66.4 Read off production on 2026-10-04: 69 Ready rows whose last run failed. Most are the person's (captcha, sign-in, Ashby's bot refusal, 403). Three were the worker's own errors, each leaving rows stuck for good: - "the posting's host could not be resolved" was thrown as an AppValidationException, so RunSubmitAsync stamped it transient:false and the reconciler never retried it. Four rows died on an agent- container DNS blip (09-29 08:01, 10-02 16:47-17:05). It is now a TransientRunException, the lookup is retried once after two seconds, and the failure is recorded as transient. - A Playwright crash mid-run ("Target page, context or browser has been closed") came back as the outcome's error with no flag and no "Exception:" prefix, so IsTransientFailure read it as a refusal. The submitter flags Crashed, the worker writes transient:true, and the wording from before is recognised. - LeadEvaluator swallowed LlmUnavailableException per lead and the judge loop asked for the next, every five minutes, re-picking the same unjudged leads: 450 error rows over five hours of 429s from poolside. The evaluator records and rethrows; the pass stops at the first and holds the tenant off for 15 minutes.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The browser retry fixes look sound. However, the 15-minute pause after LLM throttling does not hold across agent containers or apply to queued prepare requests. Throttled endpoints can still be called repeatedly, and failed prepare requests are dropped from the queue rather than retried later. These should be addressed before merge.

Share the tenant hold-off across workers.
When one worker receives an LLM 429, it writes the deadline only to its own _llmHoldOff. A different worker can acquire the tenant lock on the next pass and call the same endpoint before 15 minutes have elapsed. Store the deadline in shared tenant state and check it while holding the tenant pass lock.

Apply the tenant hold-off to queued prepare requests.
_llmHoldOff is checked only in the judging loop. The submit queue calls PrepareAsync without that check. When evaluation throws LlmUnavailableException, PrepareAsync returns null, and the submit request is completed in the finally block. Later prepare requests can still call the unavailable endpoint.
Check the hold-off before evaluation and set it when prepare catches LlmUnavailableException. Leave deferred requests uncompleted so they can run after the hold-off expires.

Closes #406.
Read off production on 2026-10-04: 69 Ready rows whose last run failed. Most are the person's (captcha ×10, board sign-in ×7, Ashby's bot refusal ×9, HTTP 403 ×4, Workday/Google-only ×5). Three were the worker's own errors, each leaving rows stuck for good:

Four rows died on an agent-container DNS blip (09-29 08:01, 10-02 16:47–17:05 — the same hour poolside failed withEAI_AGAIN). Now aTransientRunException; the lookup is retried once after two seconds; the failure is recorded as transient.SubmitOutcome.Errorwith no flag and noException:prefix, soIsTransientFailureread it as a refusal.

The evaluator records and rethrows; the pass stops at the first failure and holds the tenant off for 15 minutes.Tests: two new worker tests (a crashed run is transient and the Errors view says retry; a pass stops at the first LLM failure and the next pass does not ask) and four
