refactor(standalone): dispatch internal work in-process instead of over HTTP - #5963
Conversation
withTenant, withRootTenant and withEachTenant put the previous tenant back through setTenant, which dereferences it. Work outside an HTTP request starts with no tenant: a background task, a scheduled action, an EventBridge event. For those the restore threw a TypeError after the callback had already done its work, so the invocation failed even though it succeeded. The helpers now restore through a private restoreTenant that accepts null and skips the disabled-tenant check, which only matters when switching.

…er HTTP The standalone server reached its per-request stack from outside a request by POSTing to itself: /background-task, /scheduled-action-run, /scheduled-action-recover and /empty-trash-bins, each guarded by a per-process token and assuming localhost:PORT was reachable. Background tasks also spawned a worker thread per task just to drive that POST loop. Now everything goes through an EventDispatcher that createServerHandler registers on the root container. It hands an event to the handler app, which builds a fresh request container for it, the way Lambda invocations work on AWS. Dispatch runs in an AsyncLocalStorage snapshot taken at boot, so identity and authorization overrides active in the caller don't leak in. - Background tasks: a root TaskLoop dispatches one BackgroundTaskEvent per iteration and waits as the runner asks. No worker thread. - Scheduler: Bree fires a ScheduledActionEvent, handled by the same handler AWS uses. Boot recovery is a ScheduledActionRecoverEvent, run in the background without waiting for listen(). - Empty trash: the timer dispatches an EmptyTrashBinsEvent. BackgroundTaskEventType and ScheduledActionEventType, with their handler abstractions, move from event-handler-aws to event-handler-core so both hosting types share them. api-scheduler no longer depends on event-handler-aws. The four routes, three internal tokens, the worker and the localhost self-callback helpers are gone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🚓 Slop Cop The PR is a coherent, well-scoped refactor matching its stated intent (HTTP self-calls replaced by in-process event dispatch); no integrity red flags found, only a pre-acknowledged console-logging style issue. 📏 Code-style rule checks 🟡 Low — Multiple named imports collapsed onto one line, then split in later edits inconsistently In packages/api-event-handler-standalone/src/scheduler/RecoverScheduledActionsHandler.ts, 🟡 Low — console.error/console.log used in new root-level (non per-request) code New code such as packages/api-event-handler-standalone/src/bulkActions/bulkActionsServer.ts, src/scheduler/schedulerServer.ts, and packages/background-tasks-standalone/src/loop/DispatchingTaskLoop.ts use console.error/console.log instead of the DI Logger. The PR description explicitly calls this out ('Root singletons have no DI Logger; that's #5446'), so this is a known, intentionally deferred issue rather than an oversight, but per no-console-in-backend.md this is technically still a rule violation for api-* adjacent backend code worth flagging for visibility. Automated, non-blocking heads-up from an LLM. It can be wrong — use your judgment. Regenerates on every push. |

It is now a peer dependency, like the other packages that create DI abstractions, so the app keeps one copy. - Schedule recovery collected every page before re-arming any of them, so a lookup that failed on a later page left the earlier pages unarmed.

Summary
The standalone server reached its own per-request stack by sending HTTP requests to itself. Background tasks, scheduled actions, scheduler boot recovery and the empty-trash timer each POSTed to a route on
localhost:PORT. Each route was guarded by a token generated per process, and background tasks started a worker thread per task just to run that POST loop.This PR replaces all of that with in-process dispatch, the same shape AWS already uses for non-HTTP Lambda invocations.
How it works
EventDispatcher. A new abstraction inevent-handler-core.createServerHandlerregisters it on the root container.dispatch(event)callsHandlerApp.handle(event), which builds a fresh request container, matches the event type and runs its handler.AsyncLocalStorage.snapshot()taken at boot. Without this, a task triggered insidewithoutAuthorization(...)orwithIdentity(...)would carry that override into its own request. The HTTP hop gave this isolation by accident; now it's deliberate, and there's a test for it.InProcessTaskServicehands the task to a rootTaskLoop. The loop dispatches oneBackgroundTaskEventper iteration and waits as long as the runner asks. There is no worker thread any more.ScheduledActionEvent. The handler is the existing AWS one,ScheduledActionLambdaHandler, unchanged. Boot recovery is aScheduledActionRecoverEvent. It runs in the background, so it no longer needssetTimeout(1000)to wait forlisten().EmptyTrashBinsEvent.BackgroundTaskEventTypeandScheduledActionEventType, with their handler abstractions, moved fromevent-handler-awstoevent-handler-core. That leavesapi-schedulerwith no dependency onevent-handler-aws.Removed

triggerTasksaves the task, hands it toInProcessTaskService, and returns. From then on a rootDispatchingTaskLoopdrives it: each iteration is oneBackgroundTaskEventsent throughEventDispatcher, and the app handles it in a fresh request container, the way a new HTTP request or a Lambda invocation would be.

TenantContextrestore (separate commit,api-core).withTenant,withRootTenantandwithEachTenantput the previous tenant back throughsetTenant, which dereferences it. Work outside an HTTP request starts with no tenant, so the restore threw aTypeErrorafter the callback had already done its work. I found it running a second API process with its console visible: the empty-trash trigger failed every time. This affects AWS too. EventBridge (empty trash) and EventBridge Scheduler (scheduled publish) invocations have no tenant loader either, so they most likely do their work and then fail the invocation.Tests
New:
DispatchingTaskLoop: loop until done, the delay hand-off,wait, aborted, error, a throwing iteration.InProcessTaskService.EventDispatcheron the Node server: a dispatched event reaches its handler, async context doesn't leak, an unknown event is rejected.TenantContextwith no tenant set (3 cases; all fail without the fix).Passing:
Live, against this branch on a local standalone server (SQLite):
triggerTask(testingRun)started 13 ms after it was created.delay: 10, it started 10.01 s after it was created.re-armed N, and the empty-trash trigger no longer fails.Notes for review
console.error. Root singletons have no DILogger; that's Self-hosted scheduler: revisit the boot-time consoleLogger shim #5446.RequestContainerin the task handler.InProcessBackgroundTaskHandlertakesRequestContainerto buildTaskRunner's legacy context object, the same asBackgroundTaskLambdaHandleron AWS.ScheduledActionLambdaHandlereven though it now also runs on standalone, to keep the AWS diff small.streaming.test.ts"stalled client" failed once in 16 runs, on the first run after a new test file was added. That looks like cold-start transform time eating its 3 s window. It's unrelated to this change, but I'm noting it in case CI hits it.Workspace: wby-next9 · audit standalone handlers
