From 863ecf7c2264dd64c0d879d686b496c6ee28b510 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "brynary-fabro[bot]" <265161896+brynary-fabro[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 09:31:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Emit `StageStarted` on retry attempts (#113) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This change fixes a bug where the CLI progress UI would freeze during stage retry attempts. When a stage fails with a transient error and the engine retries it, the UI was never notified that a new attempt had begun — `StageStarted` was only emitted once before the retry loop, so subsequent attempts had no corresponding entry in `active_stages` and all their progress events were silently dropped. The fix moves `StageStarted` emission inside the retry loop for attempts after the first. The first attempt's emission stays in its original location (before the `StageStart` lifecycle hook) so that skipped nodes still receive the event and hooks continue to fire only once. Each retry now emits `StageStarted` with the correct `attempt` and `max_attempts` values, which the existing `on_stage_started` handler in the progress UI already handles correctly by inserting a fresh `ActiveStage` entry and creating a new spinner. A regression test is included that wires up a `FailOnceThenSucceedHandler` — a handler that returns a retryable error on its first call and succeeds on the second — and asserts that exactly two `StageStarted` events are emitted for the retried node, one per attempt. This directly encodes the invariant that every attempt, including retries, produces a visible `StageStarted` event. ### Fabro Details
