fix: apply ack deadline to pre-existing GCP subscription - #54
Conversation
A worker connecting to a subscription created by the dispatcher never applied its requested visibility timeout: the constructor's existence check made _create_subscription return early, and the AlreadyExists fallback called SubscriberClient.modify_subscription, which does not exist (the real API is update_subscription). The subscription therefore kept the default 60s ack deadline while the renewal loop waited max_visibility/2 = 300s before its first renewal, so every task longer than 60s was redelivered and re-executed, and its completion ack used a stale ack_id and silently failed - completed tasks cycled through the queue indefinitely. - Update a pre-existing subscription's ack deadline (at most once) via update_subscription with an ack_deadline_seconds field mask. - Schedule visibility renewals against the effective deadline min(max_runtime + 10, provider max), not the provider max alone.

WalkthroughThe change synchronizes acknowledgment deadlines for existing Pub/Sub subscriptions and calculates worker renewal intervals from the effective visibility timeout. ChangesVisibility timeout handling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change updates acknowledgment deadlines for existing subscriptions and adjusts renewal timing, but subscription recreation can still skip the required deadline update and concurrent setup calls can issue duplicate updates. These bounded correctness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Possibly related PRs

Clear deadline state when the subscription is deleted.
After _delete_subscription sets _subscription_exists to False, it does not reset
_ack_deadline_applied. If another process creates the subscription before this instance
recreates it, the AlreadyExists path at Line 311 skips the required update. The new
subscription can then retain the default 60-second deadline. Reset
_ack_deadline_applied whenever this instance establishes that the subscription is absent.

Serialize acknowledgment-deadline updates.
Concurrent callers can both read _ack_deadline_applied as False before either
update_subscription call completes. This causes repeated external updates and breaks the
intended once-per-instance behavior. Protect the check, update, and state assignment with one
instance asyncio.Lock.

Replace hard-coded renewal policy values.
Define named constants for the visibility grace period and the minimum renewal check interval.
Reuse the grace-period constant at Line 1146 and Line 1687. Keep the minimum check interval as a
separate constant.
As per coding guidelines, “NEVER hardcode magic constants.”

Problem
A worker connecting to a subscription created by the dispatcher never applied its requested visibility timeout, so the subscription kept the default 60s ack deadline while tasks ran for many minutes. Every task longer than 60s was redelivered and re-executed (duplicate work), and the original execution's completion ack used a stale ack_id and silently failed — completed tasks cycled through the queue indefinitely. Observed in production on
metadata-index-jobruns (rms-metadata project): tasks taking 615–633s were redelivered and restarted the moment worker slots freed.Two defects combined to cause this:
GCPPubSubQueue.__init__pre-checksget_subscriptionand sets_subscription_exists = True, so_create_subscriptionreturned early and never touched the deadline of a pre-existing subscription (the dispatcher creates it with the 60s default; there is no config knob for it).AlreadyExistsfallback that was supposed to update the deadline calledSubscriberClient.modify_subscription, which does not exist on the Pub/Sub client (the real API isupdate_subscriptionwith a field mask). Only reachable in a create race, and the test suite's plainMagicMocksubscriber happily accepted the nonexistent method, so it was never caught.Additionally, the visibility renewal loop scheduled its first renewal at
provider_max // 2(300s) — far too late for any deadline shorter than the provider maximum.Fix
_update_ack_deadline()appliesself._visibility_timeoutto a pre-existing subscription (at most once per queue instance) viaupdate_subscriptionwith anack_deadline_secondsupdate mask. Called from both the early-return path and theAlreadyExistsrace branch; a freshly created subscription marks the deadline as already applied.min(max_runtime + 10, provider_max)instead of the provider maximum alone.Tests
update_subscriptioncalled exactly once with the clipped (600s) value; nevermodify_subscription; idempotent across repeatedensure_queue_ready()calls.AlreadyExistscreate race → deadline still applied.Full suite: 553 passed, 1 skipped. ruff + mypy clean.
