What changed

When an intent fails, its waiting dependents should hear about the failure instead of staying blocked forever. Remove those successors transitively without running them, report the original error for the failed intent, and send one PoisonedIntentError for each removed successor.

Add poisoned-key and cascade-size metrics to show how much work is affected.

Closes #1704

Impact

The failed intent's committed keys stay poisoned until the process restarts. New intents touching a poisoned key are rejected and poison their entire pubkey set; unrelated work can continue.

Callers need to distinguish two cases: already-scheduled successors receive failure results, while new intents rejected at admission receive no result broadcast.

Reviewer notes

A successor may be reachable through several keys or through another successor. Those transitive and diamond-shaped dependencies must be cleared without duplicate results or removal of unaffected predecessors. Poison state stays process-local.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scheduler tracks poisoned pubkeys and rejects affected intents. Failed intents transitively void reachable queued successors while preserving unrelated intents. The execution engine reports failed and poisoned results after updating scheduler state. Poisoned errors are non-transient and contain no transaction signatures.

Changes

Intent poisoning and execution reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scheduler poisoning and cascade eviction
magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_engine/intent_scheduler.rs
IntentScheduler tracks poisoned pubkeys, rejects affected bundles, validates execution state, and transitively voids reachable successor bundles. Tests cover chains, diamonds, isolation, and rejected bundles.
Poisoned result and retry contracts
magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_executor/error.rs, magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_executor/mod.rs, magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_executor/intent_executor_factory.rs, magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_engine/intent_execution_engine.rs
PoisonedIntentError is non-transient and has no base signatures. Retry checks use transient status without a deduplication guard. IntentExecutionResult::is_ok was added.
Execution completion and reporting
magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_engine/intent_execution_engine.rs
Execution updates scheduler state before reporting results, reports poisoned successors, skips broadcasts without listeners, and preserves scheduler occupancy during retry backoff. Tests use bounded waits.
Poisoning metrics and metric removal
magicblock-metrics/src/metrics/mod.rs
The metrics registry includes a poisoned-key gauge and a cascade-voided-intents counter with public update helpers. The Chainlink bank-precheck metric and related assertions were removed.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1ff84

A commit that was already submitted to the base layer but reported a transient transport failure can be rebuilt and sent again, so the same committed state and attached actions may be applied twice with no straightforward recovery. Aligning the commit path with the stricter finalize handling should be resolved before merging. A separate previously raised concern about removed public metrics helpers not being documented as a breaking change is still outstanding.

In `@magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_engine/intent_execution_engine.rs`:
- Around line 768-787: Make test_multiple_failures deterministic by ensuring all
9 successor intents are admitted before the head intent completes: wait until
intents_blocked() reports 9, or gate the mock executor’s failure with a
test-controlled signal. Preserve the existing expectation of receiving 10
results without relying on the executor’s timing.
- Around line 326-327: Update the warning in the intent cascade handling to
state that the affected pubkeys are permanently poisoned for the process
lifetime, matching scheduler semantics rather than saying they are merely
blocked. Add and maintain a gauge for the current poisoned-key count based on
poisoned_keys, plus a counter incremented for each intent voided by a cascade.
Expose these metrics through the existing alerting path so operators are
notified when poisoned keys or cascade-voided intents grow.
- Around line 367-381: Refactor report_poisoned_intents to accept result_sender
by reference and reuse the existing broadcast_result helper for sending poisoned
execution results. Remove its duplicated receiver_count, send, and warning
logic, and update the caller to pass the sender by reference.

In `@magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_engine/intent_scheduler.rs`:
- Around line 449-452: Fix the spelling errors in the comments at the
action-only intent return, the “intents” comment, and the “duplicates”/“omitted”
comments. In the failed-intent scheduling logic around the worklist
initialization, remove the insertion of the failed intent’s own ID and seed the
worklist only with relevant blocked intents, preserving the existing processing
behavior.
- Around line 461-466: The terminal-failure cascade must avoid panicking at both
layers: in
magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_engine/intent_scheduler.rs#L461-L466,
update failed() to handle blocked_keys.remove() with let Some, return
Err(IntentSchedulerError::CorruptedIntentError) when absent, and retain a SAFETY
comment documenting the validate_executing invariant; in
magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_engine/intent_execution_engine.rs#L331-L333,
replace the completion call’s expect with match-based error handling that logs
failures at error level, still broadcasts the head result, and preserves
scheduler usability without mutex poisoning.
- Around line 288-292: Update the documentation header above the
failure-handling function, preserving the algorithm write-up while removing only
the sentence that references AI-generated notes or tooling. Keep the existing
description of poisoning, dependency traversal, and voiding behavior unchanged.

In `@magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_executor/error.rs`:
- Around line 63-67: Update the documentation comment for PoisonedIntentError to
describe poisoning as caused by a terminal ancestor failure, without implying
that multiple retries occurred. Preserve the existing distinction that this
error does not itself indicate permanent failure.

Update committor_poisoned_keys_count when admission poisoning occurs.

schedule() adds keys via self.poisoned_keys.extend(pubkeys) and then drops the scheduler without notifying the execution engine, while set_committor_poisoned_keys_count() is only called after failed(). Add an update in this branch or return a state-change signal to the scheduling caller.

Distinguish poisoned rejections from ordinary queueing.

IntentScheduler::schedule returns None for both queued and poisoned intents, so callers cannot tell whether a bundle is waiting for an available key or rejected because it touches poisoned keys. Use an explicit scheduling result or return an error/removed bundle for poisoned intents so this case is handled instead of treated as ordinary queueing.

Preserve the public API or document the breaking change.

This change removes the public BankPrecheckOutcome, BankPrecheckReason, and inc_chainlink_bank_precheck_accounts_with_context entry points. The types module remains private, so callers have no equivalent public path. This is a breaking API change, although the PR declares no breaking changes. Restore the exports and helper, or document and version the API removal.

As per path instructions, this is a concrete Rust API-contract correctness issue.

🔴 Critical · Do not retry a commit failure after a Base-layer signature exists.

magicblock-committor-service/src/intent_executor/error.rs:140
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Do not retry a commit failure after a Base-layer signature exists.

IntentExecutorError::is_transient() retries FailedToCommitError based only on err.is_transient(), including errors with signature: Some(_). The outer retry loop creates a fresh executor and rebuilds the commit with the next commit nonce. That nonce does not identify the intent or prevent the commit from being applied again.

Apply the same signature guard used for FailedToFinalizeError.

-            Self::FailedToCommitError { err, .. } => err.is_transient(),
