Summary

  • Materializes scheduled-run completion and failure notifications from committed Process Journal transitions rather than delivery watchers.
  • Publishes completion only after the exact run's finalized assistant reply is durably available.
  • Excludes foreground runs, child runs, ownerless runs, structured-output completions, and suppressed NothingToReport outcomes.
  • Publishes failed and recovery-required scheduled runs with stable replay-safe identities.
  • Publishes external delivery failures from the actual fan-out result without changing the run's authoritative terminal state.
  • Preserves journal transition timestamps across live observation and replay.
  • Adds production-composition, restart/replay, delivery-failure, process-store, and architecture coverage.
  • Documents the notification ownership, eligibility, lifecycle, and verification contract.

Linked Issue

Closes #7691

Part of #7687

Validation

  • Full ironclaw_assistant suite
  • Full ironclaw_processes suite
  • Scheduled-trigger production E2E across restart
  • Delivery-failure caller contract test
  • Notification domain tests
  • Extension-host and turn-runner checks
  • Full architecture suite
  • Clippy with -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check

Security Impact

Only top-level, user-owned scheduled runs are eligible. Notifications contain
bounded metadata and typed thread/run references, not assistant content or
failure details.

Database Impact

No relational migration. Adds an optional replay-stable timestamp to the
Process Journal observer commit contract and writes outcome items to the
existing durable Inbox format.

Blast Radius

Process Journal observer delivery, scheduled-run outcome materialization, and
external-delivery failure reporting.

Rollback Plan

Revert this PR to detach the outcome observer. Process Journal state remains
authoritative and previously materialized Inbox records remain non-destructive.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Eligible scheduled background-run completions and failures now generate Notification Inbox entries.
    • Successful notifications require finalized assistant replies; recovery-required outcomes are supported.
    • Timeout notifications are resolved when runs reach a terminal state.
    • Notification identities remain stable across restarts, preventing duplicates.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Delivery failures are surfaced separately when external targets reject delivery.
    • Run lifecycle timestamps remain consistent during live processing and replay.
    • Failed notification processing now stops after bounded retries for safer recovery.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on Notification Inbox eligibility, suppression, retention, and verification.

Walkthrough

The change preserves durable process transition timestamps and adds runtime-wired publication of eligible scheduled-run completion and failure notifications. It also records delivery failures, resolves timeout notifications, and verifies stable Inbox identities across restart replay.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08f5e

This PR adds durable scheduled-run outcome and delivery-failure notifications, but merge readiness is moderate because production wiring may silently omit failure records and notification cleanup may fail with PermissionDenied; malformed metadata and storage errors can also reduce notification reliability and diagnostics. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

95-105: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the substrates layer count alongside the package count.

Line 95 raises the package total to 68 for the notification inbox crate. The layer matrix at line 66 still reports substrates | 29. Line 80 states that all domains/ crates are substrates-layer, and ironclaw_notifications is a domains/ crate, so that row should read 30.

Line 9 also still reads "Derived from the live tree on 2026-08-05" while line 102 cites a 2026-08-18 gate run. Re-derive both numbers together, or the map contradicts itself.

Re-derive with cargo metadata --no-deps and python3 scripts/ci/check-target-tree.py.

Name the default page size and align the out-of-range behavior with sibling views.

Two points on this limit block:

Line 2957 inlines 30. Every sibling default in this file is a named constant — THREAD_LIST_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE, TIMELINE_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE, ADMIN_USER_LIST_DEFAULT_LIMIT.

Lines 2958-2963 reject an out-of-range limit with a 400. clamp_thread_list_limit, clamp_timeline_limit, and list_admin_users all clamp instead. Rejecting is the stricter choice and it matches the store contract, so keep it — but the divergence is not obvious to a reader scanning the neighbouring views. State it.

♻️ Proposed refactor

Add the constant next to the other page-size constants near line 7087:

const NOTIFICATION_LIST_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE: u32 = 30;

Then:

-        let limit = request.limit.unwrap_or(30) as usize;
+        // Unlike the clamping thread/timeline views, an out-of-range limit is
+        // rejected here: the store treats it as an invalid request, so the
+        // boundary reports the caller's error rather than silently narrowing it.

+            .limit

Add the // silent-ok: marker to the swallowed id-construction error.

let Ok(notification_id) = ... else { return } drops the NotificationInboxError with no log and no marker. The sibling publish_inbox_notification logs the same error class at Line 416. The repo rule names this exact pattern and requires an inline marker that names the operation.

14060-14094: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add a wired-inbox caller test that pins the recipient binding.

This test covers the unwired read path well, including the negative log assertion. The wired path has no caller-level coverage in this file.

The gap that matters is authorization. notification_recipient derives the recipient from ProductSurfaceCaller, so the store never sees a caller-supplied recipient. The domain contract test proves the store returns AccessDenied for a foreign recipient, but it cannot prove the product surface refuses to construct one. A regression that read the recipient from the request body would pass every test in this cohort.

Wire a real NotificationInboxStore through with_notification_inbox — run_delivery_contract.rs already has the fixture at lines 805-816 — then assert that a notification published for user-alpha is invisible to caller_for_user("user-beta") through ProductSurface::query. Cover mark_read, mark_all_read, and archive on the same fixture.

As per coding guidelines, "For new or changed production-wired behavior, add a caller-level test at the nearest meaningful seam" and "Provider decorators, runtime adapters, and capability wrappers must be tested through the complete production chain."

The fixture grants delete on /notifications; production does not.

crates/app/ironclaw_composition/src/lib.rs Lines 509-516 withholds delete authority for /notifications on purpose, so the store performs no raw deletion. This fixture grants read_write_list_delete(). The test mount is more permissive than the production mount. A store change that issued a delete would pass here and fail in production with PermissionDenied.

Match the production grant.

Move this fixture into an ironclaw_notifications test-support seam.

Line 1008 already consumes ironclaw_outbound::test_support::in_memory_backed_outbound_state_store(). This helper hand-rolls the equivalent for notifications, and the same body is copied into crates/product/ironclaw_assistant/src/run_outcome_observer.rs Lines 312-323, crates/product/ironclaw_assistant/tests/reborn_services_contract.rs, and crates/app/ironclaw_composition/src/runtime/tests/core.rs.

Expose ironclaw_notifications::test_support::in_memory_backed_notification_inbox() behind the test-support feature and consume it from all four sites. One fixture then owns the mount shape, so the permission divergence above cannot reappear per copy.

Based on learnings: "Rust integration tests should follow the established convention: use small local in-memory, filesystem-backed store helper code inside the crate's own tests, and have downstream crates enable the crate's test-support via [dev-dependencies] ... rather than adding a one-off self-dev-dependency. Apply this consistently to approvals, authorization, processes, run-state, budget-gate, and outbound."

caller_for_user("user-beta"), and verify it is not visible; also exercise
mark_read, mark_all_read, and archive through ProductSurface on the same fixture
to confirm notification_recipient derives from the caller rather than request
input.

In `@crates/product/ironclaw_assistant/tests/run_delivery_contract.rs`:
- Around line 805-816: Update the notificationInbox fixture’s MountPermissions
in notification_inbox to match production by removing delete authority from the
/notifications mount while retaining the required read, write, and list
permissions. Apply the same permission adjustment to the sibling notification
fixtures referenced by this setup.
- Around line 805-816: Move the duplicated notification inbox fixture into
ironclaw_notifications::test_support as in_memory_backed_notification_inbox,
exposing it only through the test-support feature. Replace the local
implementations in notification_inbox, run_outcome_observer,
reborn_services_contract, and core tests with this shared helper, preserving the
existing mount configuration and permissions.

Base automatically changed from issue-7690-actionable-notifications to main August 21, 2026 15:11
The outcome observer built its lifecycle references as raw strings, which no
longer typechecks now that the source carries a validated `LifecycleRef`, and
it published external-delivery failures through a second publisher with its
own id format — two mints for one `run:{id}:{kind}` namespace, so one fact
could have produced two inbox rows once the kinds overlapped. Lifecycle
references now go through a fallible helper that propagates its cause, and the
delivery-failure path calls the gate publisher's `publish_inbox_notification`,
leaving a single seam and a single id source.
…ntities

The observer's tests reached only the completed and failed arms, so the
recovery-required arm and both eligibility exclusions were unpinned: an edit to
either predicate would have started publishing for child or ownerless runs with
nothing failing. Cases now drive a recovery-required commit and screened
snapshots through `observe_process_commit`.

The restart leg asserted a notification count, which survives an observer that
re-mints every id, so it now compares the identity set across the restart —
identities are what deduplicate a replayed commit. The swallowed metadata
decode also carries the marker the fail-loud rule asks for, naming why an
unreadable envelope is a screening result rather than a failure to report.

Composition's absolute mass ceiling moves to the measured count. The 152 lines
this stack adds are all service-graph assembly with their behaviour in owning
crates, the stack's own tests already live in separate files, and the large
inline test modules left in composition sit in unrelated trees where splitting
one inside a notification change would dwarf its diff.
The inbox store now takes its record bound from the constructing caller, so the
outcome observer's harness states the production bound like the rest of the
callers.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/app/ironclaw_composition/tests/trigger_poller_e2e.rs`:
- Around line 1791-1800: The replay assertion currently compares only BTreeSet
IDs, allowing duplicate records with the same ID to pass. In the restart/replay
test, first assert that replayed.notifications.len() equals the pre-restart
record count, then retain the existing ID-set comparison to verify identity
preservation.

In `@crates/kernel/ironclaw_processes/src/journal.rs`:
- Around line 516-519: Add a regression test for ProcessJournalCommit
deserialization using a legacy payload that omits occurred_at, and assert the
resulting field is None. Keep existing replay tests unchanged and place the
coverage with the relevant ProcessJournalCommit serialization tests.

In `@crates/kernel/ironclaw_processes/tests/process_journal_store_contract.rs`:
- Around line 1816-1819: Update both live observer and restart-replay tests to
capture the original timestamp from the source journal entry and assert the
delivered entry’s occurred_at equals that exact value, rather than only checking
is_some(). Preserve the existing delivery assertions and use the relevant source
journal entry symbols in each path.

In `@crates/product/ironclaw_assistant/src/run_outcome_observer.rs`:
- Around line 193-202: Update the run completion notification flow in the
observer around NotificationKind::RunCompleted to retain commit.occurred_at as
the notification timestamp; use final_reply only for eligibility, remove the
assistant timestamp fallback, and assert that the stored notification timestamp
matches the committed journal timestamp.
- Around line 181-191: Update the missing-finalized-reply branch in the
completion observer to return an error instead of Ok(()), preserving the warning
while preventing the durable cursor from advancing and allowing retry. Add a
caller-level regression test covering an initial failed commit followed by retry
after the finalized reply is persisted, asserting that RunCompleted is
eventually published.

In `@crates/app/ironclaw_composition/tests/trigger_poller_e2e.rs`:
- Around line 1791-1795: Replace the fixed post-restart sleep before the replay
count assertion with a timeout-bounded poll that repeatedly reads notifications
until the count reaches record_count_before_restart. Then wait briefly and
re-read to ensure no additional record appears, preserving the
duplicate-detection assertion; update the closure around caller so it is not
used later after being moved.

In `@crates/product/ironclaw_assistant/src/run_outcome_observer.rs`:
- Around line 181-190: The missing finalized-reply error in
spawn_observer_replay currently retries indefinitely; add a bounded retry policy
or durable operator-visible stall state specifically for this contract failure
while preserving the observer cursor for replay. Keep the existing cursor-CAS
conflict retry behavior unchanged, and ensure the exhausted state is surfaced
beyond debug-level logging.
