If you trigger a run with an idempotency key but that run fails it won’t be returned as a cached run in v4.

It’s hard to come up with a situation where you would want the old behaviour. If you did want to cache a failure, you should return a Result type instead of throwing an error. Failures should only be used when something has gone wrong, not to indicate a known false case.

Walkthrough

The changes introduce new logic for handling idempotency keys and error event tracking in a web application. In the idempotency key handling, the system now checks if an idempotency key should be cleared based on the run status, using a new function, and clears it when appropriate, altering the control flow for cached runs. The event repository logic for determining error states was updated to allow explicit error marking in addition to error detection from failures. A new exported function was added to encapsulate the logic for when idempotency keys should be cleared, based on run status.

63-66: Bug: Incorrect FATAL_RUN_STATUSES type alias

The alias references FAILED_RUN_STATUSES instead of FATAL_RUN_STATUSES, which is a type correctness issue.

Apply this fix:

 export const FATAL_RUN_STATUSES = ["SYSTEM_FAILURE", "CRASHED"] satisfies TaskRunStatus[];
 
-export type FATAL_RUN_STATUSES = (typeof FAILED_RUN_STATUSES)[number];
+export type FATAL_RUN_STATUSES = (typeof FATAL_RUN_STATUSES)[number];
🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
apps/webapp/app/runEngine/concerns/idempotencyKeys.server.ts (2)

63-67: Nit: Log the computed idempotencyKey variable

The log currently uses request.options?.idempotencyKey, which misses keys coming from the body. Use the computed idempotencyKey variable for accurate logging.

-        logger.debug("[TriggerTaskService][call] Idempotency key should be cleared", {
-          idempotencyKey: request.options?.idempotencyKey,
+        logger.debug("[TriggerTaskService][call] Idempotency key should be cleared", {
+          idempotencyKey,
           runStatus: existingRun.status,
           runId: existingRun.id,
         });

1-18: Confirm target engine (legacy vs RE 2.0) and parity

Org guidance is to avoid adding code to the legacy run engine. If this file is part of the legacy engine, ensure equivalent logic exists in Run Engine 2.0 (internal/run-engine), or track a follow-up to port this behavior.

Want me to open an issue to track parity in RE 2.0 and propose a minimal patch?

apps/webapp/app/v3/eventRepository.server.ts (1)

1100-1107: Check consistency: isError may be true while status stays "OK"

You now allow explicit isError regardless of failedWithError, but status is still derived only from failedWithError. That can yield isError: true with status: "OK". If intentional (styling/logging only), fine. If not, derive status from isError too.

-      status: failedWithError ? "ERROR" : "OK",
+      status: (options.isError === true || !!failedWithError) ? "ERROR" : "OK",

If you keep the current behavior, consider a brief comment explaining why status can be "OK" when isError is true to avoid confusion later.

🔇 Additional comments (6)
apps/webapp/app/v3/taskStatus.ts (1)

132-134: Idempotency: clear keys on failed and expired runs — aligns with PR objective

Logic matches the desired behavior (don’t cache failures, also clear on EXPIRED).

Do we also want to clear idempotency for CANCELED runs? If you intend reruns for cancellations, consider including "CANCELED" here. I can send a tiny patch if confirmed.

apps/webapp/app/runEngine/concerns/idempotencyKeys.server.ts (5)

6-6: Import of status helper is correct

Import path and usage are appropriate for centralizing status logic.


45-59: Expiration handling remains sound

Clearing expired idempotency keys and returning non-cached is correct and preserves prior behavior.


61-76: Clear key on failed/expired statuses — correct behavior for idempotency in v4

This ensures failed/expired runs aren’t returned from cache and a new run can trigger.


70-76: Concurrency note: two concurrent clears may both proceed to create a new run

Using updateMany avoids throwing when another request clears first, which is good. However, two concurrent requests could both attempt to create a new run with the same idempotency key. Ensure the downstream creation path handles a potential unique constraint race (e.g., retry-on-unique-violation then fetch existing).

Would you like a patch to add a small “create-or-fetch on unique violation” guard where runs are created?


78-112: Cached-run handling with waitpoint is preserved

Returning the existing run and blocking the parent when appropriate remains intact and correct after the new clearing branch.
