Summary

Adds POST /admin/a2a-queue/drop-stale — an ops endpoint to mark stale queued A2A items as 'dropped' after incidents. Closes #1947.

Problem

After incidents, PM agents inherit hour-old TASK-priority queue items from ICs that were correctly reporting "X is broken" while X was actually broken. Once X is fixed those items are stale noise — PMs spend ~5 min each writing "thanks, the issue is resolved".

Dev Lead had 30 post-incident queue items × ~5 min = ~2.5 hours of wasted PM time after the GitHub App token fix landed this morning. Manual SQL cleanup was applied as a hotfix — this endpoint makes it a proper ops tool.

Changes

  • a2a_queue.go: DropStaleQueueItems(ctx, workspaceID, maxAgeMinutes) — UPDATE ... SET status='dropped' for queued items older than TTL. Uses FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED for concurrency safety with active drain calls.
  • admin_queue.go: new AdminQueueHandler with DropStale HTTP handler (AdminAuth, ?max_age_minutes=N, &workspace_id=)
  • admin_queue_test.go: HTTP-level tests for param validation and response shape
  • router.go: registers POST /admin/a2a-queue/drop-stale behind AdminAuth

Usage

# Drop items older than 2h across all workspaces:
curl -X POST /admin/a2a-queue/drop-stale?max_age_minutes=120

# Scoped to one workspace:
curl -X POST /admin/a2a-queue/drop-stale?max_age_minutes=120&workspace_id=<uuid>

Returns {"dropped": N}.

Test plan

  • admin_queue_test.go: 6 HTTP cases + SQL shape review
  • CI passes
  • Manual: verify old items marked dropped post-incident

Closes #1947.

… cleanup

Issue #1947: after incidents, PM agents inherit hour-old TASK-priority
queue items from ICs that were correctly reporting "X is broken" while
X was actually broken. Once X is fixed those items are stale noise —
PMs spend ~5 min each writing "thanks, the issue is resolved".

Adds:
- DropStaleQueueItems() in a2a_queue.go: UPDATE ... SET status='dropped'
  for queued items older than maxAgeMinutes. Uses FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED
  to stay concurrency-safe with concurrent drain calls.
- AdminQueueHandler in admin_queue.go: POST /admin/a2a-queue/drop-stale
  (AdminAuth, ?max_age_minutes=N, &workspace_id=<id>). Returns {dropped: N}.
- admin_queue_test.go: HTTP-level tests for param validation and response shape.
- Router registration for the new endpoint.

Usage during incident recovery:
  curl -X POST /admin/a2a-queue/drop-stale?max_age_minutes=120
  # scoped to one workspace:
  curl -X POST /admin/a2a-queue/drop-stale?max_age_minutes=120&workspace_id=<uuid>

Closes #1947.

CP-BE Review — PR #1950: drop-stale endpoint

Approve. Clean, targeted ops fix. No blockers.

What I verified

a2a_queue.goDropStaleQueueItems:

  • Parameterized SQL (workspaceID, maxAgeMinutes as $1, $2) — no injection risk ✅
  • FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED — safe against concurrent DrainQueueForWorkspace calls ✅
  • Two branches: scoped (workspaceID != "") vs. global (workspaceID == "") ✅
  • fmt.Errorf wrapping for error propagation ✅

admin_queue.goAdminQueueHandler.DropStale:

  • Uses AdminAuth middleware — properly gated ✅
  • max_age_minutes validation: positive integer, rejects 0/negative ✅
  • workspace_id optional (empty = all workspaces) ✅
  • POST (not GET) — avoids accidental browser-triggered side effects ✅

router.go:

  • Clean registration with comment explaining why POST ✅

admin_queue_test.go:

  • 6 HTTP handler test cases (default, explicit, scoped, invalid, zero, negative) ✅
  • SQL shape verification comment documents the expected query semantics ✅

Minor note (non-blocking)

last_error = last_error || '...' in PostgreSQL: if last_error is NULL for any queued row, the result of NULL || string is NULL, so the existing error context is lost. If last_error is guaranteed NOT NULL (never NULL for rows in the a2a_queue table), this is fine as-is. If NULLs are possible, consider COALESCE(last_error, '') || '...' for belt-and-suspenders. Non-blocking for merge.

Summary

Solid ops tooling. Exactly what was needed after the incident. Ship it.

…pass

DropStale calls DropStaleQueueItems which reads db.DB directly. Without
setupTestDB() the global mock was nil → every query returned 500.
Adds mock expectations for the 3 happy-path sub-tests; validation-only
sub-tests (bad input) need no DB and are unchanged.
