ployz volume release db now stops a Move that has not committed. A busy Volume tells you how to free it, and removing a Server in the middle of a Move no longer strands the Volume.

What changes for you

  • When a Volume is busy, the refusal names the Volume and the command that frees it: VolumeBusy: db is busy with a move; ployz volume release db stops it. It no longer prints a run id. It keeps the VolumeBusy prefix, the conflict code and details.run. The CLI's mid-Move text and the agent tool descriptions say the same.
  • ployz volume release db during a warm Move ends the Move as cancelled and starts the release in the same transaction. The release raises every copy's floor before it plans, so the Move it stopped can switch nothing more. The app stays on the Server it was on.
  • Once a Move has committed, release refuses with db is starting on B; it finishes there and changes nothing. With no open run, release repairs the Volume as it did before.
  • Approval reads the Volume's open run first, so you are never asked to approve a run that would then be refused as busy.
  • If you remove the Move's target while the Move is warm, Cloud releases the Move and the app stays on A. If you remove a Server after the Move committed onto it, the release fails with db's writer was on B (removed). Restore from A's copy: ployz volume restore db --from A. If you remove the source while the Move is warm, the release names ployz volume restore db --from B. No removal waits on another Machine.
  • docs/user/services/move-a-volume.md and volumes.md describe all of this.

What the next maintainer inherits

  • takeLanes(caller, takers, end) in volume-run.server.ts is the one takeover. It locks each Volume's open row in Volume id order, ends a warm row as end (cancelled or yielded), inserts the taker's row with a higher gen, and sends volume/run.taken for the row it ended. A lane past its point of no return, meaning a committed Move or any restore, refuses the whole set through LaneRefused, so the savepoint rolls back with its outbox events. Slice 5 calls it with yielded.
  • insertRun takes the lane for a release and refuses an open lane for every other kind.
  • Machine removal gets two new steps. observe-leaving-server reads the Server's name and writer copies before the removal. release-volume-lanes runs after the removal and calls releaseLanesOff, which is idempotent and best effort. If the Server does not answer within 5 s, its name is null, so only its writer copies, not its name, match a lane.
  • Drain does not take lanes over. A drained Server is not leaving, and a drain that a Deploy starts goes through slice 5's yield.
  • The contract has a gap. Core's copies.rs handed_over branch expects details.move_to, but Cloud's committed refusal sends only the message, so the CLI prints the plain text.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Volume Release can take over an eligible in-progress move before handover and restore service on the old server. After handover, the move finishes on the destination.
    • Removing a server now triggers handling for eligible active volume moves and mirrors, with recovery guidance when a server’s removal leaves service unavailable.
    • Conflicting volume operations are coordinated, and busy-volume messages identify the operation and provide a release command.

  • Documentation

    • Updated guidance covers Release behavior, server removal during a move, and recovery options.

Volume runs now use per-Volume lanes to coordinate requests. Eligible Release requests can take over warm runs, and Server removal requests releases of affected lanes. Release recovery floors answered copies and reports restore paths. CLI messages and documentation describe Release behavior and handover outcomes.

The release description update is safe. After a Move commits, the CLI refusal may show plain text instead of structured restore guidance until the follow-up PR in the stack lands. This is a bounded guidance gap with no data or availability impact.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1c728

Release can now stop an active Volume operation, but the transfer does not explicitly check that the existing operation belongs to the requesting organization. Exploitation would require overlapping Volume IDs, whose practical reachability remains uncertain. Recovery controls are strengthened, although failed observations can still leave Server-removal cleanup incomplete.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Release takeover identifies the existing lane only by Volume ID, then ends it and emits cancellation without comparing its organization with the caller. If separate organizations can contain the same Volume ID, a Release authorized for one organization can cancel another organization's warm operation. The base lookup already used the global key, but this PR adds mutation authority. Reachability of the overlapping-ID prerequisite remains unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The conditional cross-organization outcome is cancellation of the warm operation associated with a matching Volume ID. The replacement run uses the requesting organization's identity and runtime session; inspected evidence does not establish credential acquisition or direct access to the other organization's daemon.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A potential path requires an authorized caller to obtain a Volume in its own organization with an ID matching another organization's active warm lane, then request Release. The takeover query would select and cancel the foreign lane. CreateVolume accepts an ID field, but the externally reachable chosen-ID path and uniqueness guarantees were not fully traced; this is not a verified exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Public Release requests retain caller organization, operation admission, and approval handling. Workflow claiming checks organization and Volume identity; privileged copy operations require the current running workflow owner. These controls constrain request and execution authority, but do not compare the organization of the lane selected for takeover.
  • observed — The daemon raises the generation floor and reads the settled copy under the floor lock. Ordinary copy mutations check generation before admission and again under the switch lock. These are concrete controls against stale work after takeover.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Failed copy observation becomes an empty writer list before Server removal. Cleanup then matches only a destination or an observed writer Volume, so removing a warm Move's source with no observed writes can leave its lane active. The source-removal test supplies writer provenance explicitly. This limits the new recovery guarantee; the base had no removal-driven lane cleanup, so a newly introduced security regression was not established.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind lane lookup, takeover authorization, and active-lane uniqueness to organization plus Volume identity, rather than relying solely on globally unique Volume IDs.

P2 Badge Tie removal takeover to the lane that was observed

Require the active lane to still match lane.id when taking it over. releaseLanesOff selects rows without locking them, then calls insertRun using only the Volume id; if the matching lane finishes and a new unrelated warm run starts before this call, insertRun cancels that new run instead. A Server removal can therefore terminate an operation that is not associated with the departing Server.

P2 Badge Fence empty destination Machines before planning release

Send the floor request to every answered member, including members whose current copy is null. A Move or mirror target normally starts empty, and its old lower-generation request can already be queued when Release takes over; skipping that target leaves its floor unchanged, allowing the cancelled run to create a mirror after Release has planned and completed, contrary to the promise that Release stops the run.

P1 Badge Refuse takeover of in-flight seed restores

Treat seed as past its point of no return as well: a seed run sends seed_volume against args.into.dockerVolume, rather than generation-fenced set_volume_copy operations on the source Volume. If Release takes the lane after a seed request has been accepted, marking the row cancelled neither fences nor undoes that remote copy, so the restored Volume can still land while its Deploy believes the restore was cancelled.

dashboard/src/modules/volume-run/volume-run.server.ts (1)

445-465: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Run releaseLanesOff per lane so one failure does not drop the remaining releases.

The loop calls insertRun one lane at a time. Each call opens its own transaction. If one call fails with an error other than LaneRefused, such as a database error, the failure propagates and the remaining lanes are not released. The Inngest step release-volume-lanes then retries. This is safe only because a retry skips lanes that already ended. A lane refused for a race is skipped silently, and no log records it. This is acceptable for now. Consider logging refusals so operators can see a lane that removal did not take.

Propagate copy-observation failures before removing the Server.

Effect.orElseSucceed(() => []) turns a failed observation into empty writes. For a source Server in a warm Move, releaseLanesOff matches only the Move destination by name. It skips the lane when the writer name is missing. The workflow then removes the Server without requesting the release takeover.

This keeps removal behind the process-machine-remove retry policy. The workflow can retry observation before remove-machine runs.

Include move_to in committed-Move release refusals.

When ployz volume release meets a committed Move, laneRefusal returns only details.run. Core uses details.move_to to create the destination-specific volume_move retry. Without it, the CLI receives the refusal message but no actionable recovery command. Add the field in this producer rather than changing the renderer.

P1 Badge Retry the pre-removal observation instead of failing open

If the runtime frame times out, machineNamed returns name: null, and if copy observation fails this line substitutes an empty list; the workflow nevertheless proceeds to remove-machine. Consequently releaseLanesOff cannot identify a name-only CLI Move/Mirror targeting the departing Server or a Move whose writer is there, leaving that run active after membership removal and allowing it to continue cutting or copying against the removed Server. Propagate either observation failure so this memoized step retries before removal. The changed user documentation explicitly promises that runs to or from a removed Server are released.

Tracked as a follow-up, not folded into this stack. It is the same gap as the earlier CodeRabbit note on these lines, plus the name: null case. No data is lost: core's confirmDataLoss still gates the removal, and a lane left against a removed Server fails its calls and is released, or ployz volume release ends it. The follow-up makes the observe step fail on either gap so Inngest retries it before remove-machine.

On CodeRabbit's two outside-diff comments in review 5504747058:

  • machine-removal.server.ts observation failure. Noted as a follow-up, not folded. A failed observation skips the takeover for a source Server mid-move. Removal should retry observation first.
  • move_to in committed-move refusals. Already done by 0a57ef2b4, which sits one PR up in #1750 and merges with this stack. At the top the refusal carries move_to (volume-run.server.ts:184).

P1 Badge Skip floor requests to unsupported empty Machines

When a managed Machine lacks ployz.volume.copy.floor.v1 but holds no copy, observeVolumeMembers deliberately returns it as answered because it neither holds nor receives this Volume. This loop nevertheless sends WantedCopy::Floor to every answered Machine; an older daemon cannot decode that request, so setVolumeCopy fails and the release never reaches planning. A failed Move can therefore leave its Service stopped merely because an unrelated empty Machine is still on the older release, even though that Machine was allowed when the Move started.

Right, and I'm leaving it for a follow-up rather than this stack. It only happens in a fleet partway through an upgrade: an empty Machine still on v0.3.0-beta.1 while a Move fails and its release runs. Every holder and target already needs the floor, and Servers get upgraded together. If it does happen, the release fails, close-finished-volume-run closes its row so the lane frees, and nothing is lost. Running the release again after the upgrade finishes it. Fix to track: floor only the Machines that support it, since an empty Machine without the floor can't be a target of the run being taken.

P2 Badge Avoid recommending release for an active restore

When the active lane is a restore, this message tells the user that ployz volume release <name> stops it, but pastReturn classifies every restore as non-takeable and laneRefusal rejects that release with the “finishes there” response. Consequently, any second command attempted during a restore now recommends an action that is guaranteed to fail; restore lanes need the same non-releasable guidance used for committed work.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

NNickOct 13, 2026

A restore lane never gets this message. laneRefusal returns volumeBusyMessage only when !pastReturn(lane), and pastReturn is true for every restore. A restore lane gets the "it finishes there" refusal, which recommends nothing.

Do not continue removal after copy observation fails.

If observeOrganizationCopies fails during source-Server removal, the fallback sets writes to []. releaseLanesOff then checks only the Move destination, so it skips the warm Move bound to the removed source. The active Move remains without a release takeover.

Test the stale Mirror after the floor.

The fake accepts every floor request without recording its gen. The takeover test only checks that B receives a floor, so it can pass even if the older Move's late Mirror still lands. Record each fake Machine's floor, reject older generations, and submit the late Mirror after the floor.

Include move_to in committed-Move refusals.

Core reads details.move_to to build the retry command. The refusal currently provides only run, so Core cannot provide structured handover guidance. Update the producer and this exact assertion.

This is in the stack already. #1750 adds it in 7b56dbbeb ("Name the Server a release past the cut hands the Volume to"). A release past the cut there refuses with details.move_to, and the test expects move_to: "fsn-2". This PR doesn't land alone.

CcoderabbitaiBotOct 13, 2026

@nick-potts Thanks for clarifying. #1750 supplies details.move_to and the matching test assertion. Since this PR lands with that stack, this finding does not require a separate change in #1730. I withdraw it.

P1 Badge Refuse takeover of in-flight mirror removals

When a confirmed mirror removal is deleting the Volume's only copy, it remains warm, so pastReturn lets Release cancel it. The daemon may already have passed both generation checks and started the destructive Forget; a later floor cannot retract that operation, so the copy can disappear while the replacement release fails with no copy even though the user was told Release stops the removal. Treat delete_mirror as past its point of no return once admitted, as is already done for restore.

Fixed in #1858. The busy message for a mirror removal now says it finishes on its own instead of offering a release, since a Machine may already be destroying the copy.

P1 Badge Keep takeover pending until every old-run Machine is fenced

When a source or destination becomes unreachable after accepting an old run's request, this branch skips its floor, but the release has already marked the old lane cancelled. Planning then refuses because that member is unanswered, leaving no active cleanup run; meanwhile the previously accepted lower-generation cut or mirror can still finish when the Machine recovers, potentially stopping the Service after the release claimed to stop the run. Retry observation/fencing instead of terminally refusing the takeover while any Machine touched by the old run remains unfenced.

NNickOct 14, 2026

The release does not report success here. It ends the old lane, then its plan refuses with " did not answer" (plan.ts:102-104), so the run fails, as move-a-volume.md documents under "A server must answer for its volume to move". A lower-gen cut still in flight on the silent Machine can only stop its holder and flip its root to a slot, so no data is lost, and rerunning the release once the Machine answers floors it and resumes the kept Container. If the Machine is gone for good, #1855 makes server forget end the lanes toward it so a restore can run. Retrying the release on its own instead of refusing is noted as a follow-up.
