After #11756 deployed, production POST /api/vm route spans showed provider_create at 2.9 to 11.6 s (total 3.4 to 12.4 s). The snapshot size is not the cause: creating from the xl snapshot takes 82 to 114 ms from a laptop. The slow trace has one exec-await of 5 s: probeEdgeRules from #11622, a guest curl loop (30 attempts, 5 s timeout, 2 s sleep, 240 s budget) that waits for Freestyle to activate the machine's coderouter TLS edge rule. Freestyle activates the rule asynchronously, in seconds, so every create waited for the edge.

The rule is still written inline by vms.create. The probe now runs after the response: CreateOptions.afterResponse is an injected scheduler, the route passes runAfterResponse (shared helper in routeHelpers.ts, next/server after() with a detached fallback outside a request scope), and the driver reports the probe on its own span cmux.vm.provider.edge_probe with cmux.vm.edge_probe.ok and cmux.vm.edge_probe.ms, recording a span error and a log line on failure. Restore takes the same path. A caller without a scheduler (scripts, tests) keeps the awaited probe and the rollback.

Trade-off: a machine returned before its edge rule is active cannot reach coderouter for the first few seconds. That window is Freestyle's activation time and existed before PR 11622 too, when nothing waited for it. A failed probe no longer deletes the machine; it is a recorded error for alerting.

Expected after deploy: provider_create back to about 300 ms (vms.create 270 ms plus the env file write), total create about 500 ms for a returning user.


Summary by cubic

Moves the coderouter edge probe to run after the create response so POST /api/vm no longer blocks 3 to 11 s waiting for Freestyle to activate the TLS edge rule.

  • The rule is still written inline by vms.create; the probe now goes through runAfterResponse (next/server after() with a detached fallback outside a request scope).
  • The probe reports on its own span cmux.vm.provider.edge_probe with cmux.vm.edge_probe.ok and cmux.vm.edge_probe.ms; failure records a span error and log line instead of deleting the machine.
  • Callers without a scheduler (scripts, tests) keep the awaited probe and rollback.
  • Trade-off: a machine returned before its edge rule is active can't reach coderouter briefly, a window that existed before PR 11622 when nothing waited for the edge.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • VM creation and restoration requests now return without waiting for edge connectivity checks when background scheduling is available.
  • Reliability

    • Edge connectivity checks continue after the response and record failures without affecting an already-completed request.
    • Non-request workflows continue to wait for verification and handle failures synchronously.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage confirming post-response scheduling is passed through to VM providers.

PR 11622's driver blocked every create on a guest curl loop that waits for
Freestyle to activate the machine's TLS edge rule, 3 to 11 s in production
(provider_create 2.9 to 11.6 s in the route spans after the merge). The rule is
still written inline by vms.create; the probe now runs through the route's
after-response scheduler (next/server after(), detached outside a request
scope) and reports on its own span, cmux.vm.provider.edge_probe, with
cmux.vm.edge_probe.ok and .ms. Callers without a scheduler (scripts, tests)
keep the awaited probe and rollback.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

VM create and restore flows now pass an after-response scheduler to the Freestyle driver. Edge-rule probes run after the response when scheduled, with telemetry and failure logging. Synchronous behavior remains when no scheduler is provided.

Changes

VM edge-rule verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scheduler contract and workflow wiring
web/services/vms/drivers/types.ts, web/services/vms/workflows.ts
Create and restore options accept afterResponse. createVm forwards the callback to the provider.
Post-response scheduling
web/services/vms/routeHelpers.ts, web/app/api/vm/route.ts
The route uses runAfterResponse, which registers guarded work with Next.js after and falls back to detached execution.
Driver probe execution and validation
web/services/vms/drivers/freestyle.ts, web/tests/vm-workflows.test.ts
Create and restore defer edge-rule probes when scheduled. The driver records probe telemetry and logs failures. Tests verify callback propagation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3c66

VM creation now returns before edge-rule verification completes, improving response latency. A finalization failure can still leave a deferred probe targeting a VM that has already been rolled back, producing misleading probe failures; lifecycle behavior remains insufficiently covered.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly explains what changed, why it changed, the expected performance impact, the trade-off, and behavior for callers without a scheduler. It omits the template's Testing, Demo Video, Review Trigger, and Checklist sections, but the core description is complete.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff against origin/main contains seven changed paths, all TypeScript files. It introduces no production Swift changes, so it cannot introduce or worsen the specified Swift 6 actor-isolation mistakes.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes six TypeScript files under web/ and no Swift files. The Swift blocking-runtime check applies only to production Swift changes, so its failure conditions are not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The rule applies to browser socket automation in two Swift files, but this PR changes only six web/... TypeScript files. The parent-to-HEAD diff shows no changes to Sources/TerminalController.swift or Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Wire/ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift. The changed code concerns VM edge probes and afterResponse; it adds no browser.* socket command or worker-routing change.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The custom check applies only to production Swift changes. The commit diff changes six TypeScript files under web/ and web/tests/; no changed path ends in .swift. Therefore, it cannot introduce an expensive synchronous Swift agent-history load onto a main-actor or interactive path.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The pull request does not substitute a cached value for a fresh authoritative read. The diff only adds an after-response scheduler, forwards it through VM creation, and defers the Freestyle edge-rule probe. The snapshot path still performs the existing repository ownership check and provider snapshot operation. No changed line introduces cache usage, persistence/history/undo snapshot substitution, or cold/stale cache handling requirement. The pre-existing cachedAllowedOrigins code is unchanged and is unrelated to persistence correctness.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS. The direct PR diff adds no sleep, timer, polling, fixed backoff, or wall-clock wait. The Freestyle guest probe already contained the sleep 2 polling loop in origin/main, and the PR leaves that command and its bounds unchanged. The new runAfterResponse uses Next.js after() as a response-lifecycle hook, not an elapsed-time delay. The existing billing setTimeout is also unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS: The diff does not introduce a prohibited algorithmic pattern. The new verifyEdgeRules path performs one linear pass over edgeRules; it does not nest scans, rescan a backing collection per target, sort, filter, or join records. Production provisionVmModelPlane constructs exactly one edge rule. The existing freestyleEdgeRules(...).map(...) and probe loop were present before this commit. The new scheduler and telemetry code perform no collection work. The test-only changes are also covered by the rule's pass criteria.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only six TypeScript files under web/, and the parent-to-HEAD diff contains no .swift paths. Therefore, this Swift concurrency check is inapplicable. No cmux-owned Swift code or Swift async pattern changed.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The exact pull-request diff contains six .ts files and no .swift files. Therefore it introduces no Swift async, nonisolated, actor-isolation, or @concurrent changes covered by the rule.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS: The pull request introduces no Swift changes. The diff from origin/main...HEAD contains only TypeScript files under web/ and cmux-tui/. The Swift package-boundary check is therefore not applicable.

Next.js after function callbacks execute when route handler response fails or throws official documentation

💡 Result:

According to official Next.js documentation, the after function callback is guaranteed to execute even if the route handler response does not complete successfully [1][2][3]. This includes scenarios where an error is thrown, or when notFound or redirect is called [1][4][3]. The after function is designed to schedule work that runs after the response (or prerender) has finished, ensuring that tasks like logging or analytics do not block the response [1][3].

Gate deferred work on successful VM finalization.

Freestyle registers the edge probe during providers.create, before repo.markCreateRunning completes. If finalization fails and rollback destroys the VM, runAfterResponse may still execute the probe after the failed response. The probe then targets a deleted VM and records a span error and log entry.

Buffer the callback until markCreateRunning succeeds, or add commit gating. Keep the no-scheduler path synchronous.

Test the post-response lifecycle, not only callback forwarding.

The fake provider captures options.afterResponse but never invokes it, and the test scheduler starts work immediately. This assertion proves callback identity only. Add driver-boundary tests that block probeEdgeRules, verify provider creation completes before the probe, and cover failure behavior with and without a scheduler.
