Description
What happened
Since #1603 (log retention, in #1627), a job's ending runs the whole log-folder retention sweep before the job's status leaves running. Under load, a stopped job reads as running for 47–130 ms, against about 2 ms before. TestStopWorkDoesNotWakeAndOnlyFreshSubmissionRestarts fails 5 of 20 runs under load on #1627's head 6cc872c8e, and 0 of 20 on dev 837b2b06a.
The obvious fix, publishing the final status first and then sweeping, was tried on #1627 (8b0edfd6d) and reverted (2e007e33b). Anything that watches running() then removes the job's folder while the sweep is still writing in it. CI:
--- FAIL: TestAParkedWorkerIsHandedBackWithARecordBeforeItsWholeAllowance (1.05s)
testing.go:1464: TempDir RemoveAll cleanup: unlinkat …/003/.codeaf/jobs: directory not empty
waitSettled in internal/session/task_job_park_test.go polls !one.running(). Giving a task's copy back after its jobs end has the same shape in the product.
Replication
Deterministic (no model). On #1627's head, loaded (run beside another package's tests, or with GOMAXPROCS=2):
go test -run '^TestStopWorkDoesNotWakeAndOnlyFreshSubmissionRestarts$' -count=20 ./internal/sessionA few runs fail. With 8b0edfd6d applied instead, run
-run '^TestAParkedWorkerIsHandedBackWithARecordBeforeItsWholeAllowance$' -count=50 under the same load. It fails on the TempDir cleanup.

The fix
A job's stop is not slowed by retention, and no observer of a job's end can race the sweep. One way to get both: the sweep stops being part of any single job's ending. It runs as one registry-owned pass, which shutdown and the registry's close join, and which tolerates its directory disappearing. Test helpers that wait for a job's end wait on done, not on running().
Acceptance
- Unit:
TestStopWorkDoesNotWakeAndOnlyFreshSubmissionRestartspasses 50/50 underGOMAXPROCS=2with another package's tests running beside it. - Unit:
TestAParkedWorkerIsHandedBackWithARecordBeforeItsWholeAllowancepasses 50/50 under the same load. - Unit: a new test ends a job and immediately removes its jobs folder, as a copy's give-back does, and nothing is written into it afterwards.
- Unit: a new test proves retention still bounds the folder (the Job logs grow without bound: recursive search of runtime logs consumed 152 GiB and filled disk #1599 law) and that shutdown still joins a sweep in progress.
