A storage backend can explicitly reject a container profile that retrying cannot fix. The queue currently retries those errors, while its existing terminal sentinels would incorrectly report either completed learning or an oversized profile.

Reuse the existing backoff/v5.PermanentError, recognized through wrapped errors. The queue treats an explicit permanent rejection as terminal and preserves the original error for the manager. Unknown/transient errors remain retryable; completed/too-large sentinels and HTTP 413 splitting retain their existing precedence.

The manager records rejected, stops learning and cleans up the container without announcing a completed profile. Terminal callbacks coalesce independently of lifecycle signals. Lifecycle sends release container locks and stop waiting when monitoring ends; a pending rejection takes precedence over completion. These changes prevent repeated queued failures or a full control channel from deadlocking cleanup, including for host profiles.

Validation:

  • Full race tests for container profile manager/queue, storage, objectcache and lifecycle telemetry.
  • Regressions for wrapped permanent errors and ordinary transient errors, one-attempt queue rejection, original error propagation, repeated callbacks, rejection versus max-time completion, and full control channels.
  • make binary, affected-package go vet, and lint with zero new issues.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Permanently rejected profile reports now stop monitoring and mark the container as rejected, without reporting it as completed.
    • Lifecycle handling continues safely when signal channels are full or monitoring has stopped, preventing operations from getting stuck.
    • Profile splitting proceeds without blocking when a lifecycle signal is already queued.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Queue classification now recognizes permanent profile errors. Container monitoring records those errors, marks affected containers rejected, and stops monitoring. Lifecycle control signals select against monitor completion, and profile-split signals do not block when the control channel is full.

Changes

Permanent rejection and monitor lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Classify permanent profile errors
pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/queue/containerprofile_queue_errors.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/queue/containerprofile_queue.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/queue/containerprofile_queue_errors_test.go
Queue classification treats marked permanent errors as terminal after checking the HTTP 413 split case. Tests cover classification precedence and preserve the wrapped rejection error in the callback.
Handle rejection in container monitoring
pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/containerprofile_manager.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/monitoring.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/lifecycle.go, pkg/objectcache/shared_container_data.go, pkg/otelsetup/lifecycle.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/permanent_rejection_test.go
Container data retains queue errors and tracks monitor completion. Monitoring handles permanent rejection, sets the rejected status, stops monitoring, removes the container, and reports learning ended with "rejected".
Guard lifecycle signals and profile splits
pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/lifecycle.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/container_operations.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/lifecycle_control_test.go
Max-time and deletion signal sends select against monitor completion. Profile splitting skips a signal when the control channel cannot receive immediately and still resets the profile size counter.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fc2f6

No concrete merge-blocking issue remains in the supplied evidence. The change stops retrying permanent rejections and prevents lifecycle signaling from waiting after monitoring ends; merge subject to normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to fc2f6

The change improves rejection handling without establishing a new external attack path. Uncertainty remains about storage failures arriving after learning has ended and how deployed backends identify permanent errors.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Each terminal callback acts on the manager entry matching the queued container ID. This scope includes the host pseudo-container: a rejection can stop host-profile learning as well as ordinary container-profile learning.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new terminal authority depends on a typed PermanentError, including wrapped values, rather than ordinary rejection text. Unknown and transient errors remain retryable. The inspected storage implementation returns the API client's error directly and does not itself construct that marker.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Regression assertions cover ordinary and host rejection, repeated callbacks, full control channels, rejection during final flushing, cleanup and later removal. They do not exercise a storage callback arriving after final-save enqueue and monitor exit; these assertions were inspected, not executed in this review.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If completion is intended to certify storage acceptance, retain final-save outcome ownership beyond monitor exit and distinguish enqueue success from confirmed acceptance. Generation-bound callback identity could also make recovery ownership explicit.

retained queue verdict immediately after flushAndSettle and before the forced
save; return the pending error if present. Reuse handlePendingQueueError, as in
the SyncChannel case, so rejections recorded during flushing are not bypassed.

Reviewed together with the downstream consumer (armosec/private-node-agent#624). Looks correct:

  • Moving terminal queue verdicts to queueErrors removes the blocking SyncChannel send under the entry lock.
  • monitorDone unblocks lifecycle producers and the ack waits.
  • A rejection never announces a completed profile.
  • I checked the max-time vs ack and max-time vs removal races and found no problem.

One nit inline.
