Why

The worker tunnel eviction log line reports which side tore a tunnel down, but
not what the transport reported while doing it. That leaves the interesting
cases indistinguishable from one another:

  • a peer sending a deliberate close carrying an application error code
  • an idle timer expiring somewhere on the path
  • a stream reset, where the connection itself survives
  • a flow being dropped silently

Telling those apart currently means capturing packets on a worker while a
failure reproduces, which is expensive and only works while someone is
watching. When a tunnel repeatedly closes at a suspiciously consistent
duration, that is exactly the question being asked.

The information already exists at close time and was being thrown away.
quicconn string-matched one error text and swallowed it, and
CloseFuncConn.onClose was func() with no error parameter, so nothing
downstream could see a cause.

What changed

The first transport error is captured on Read and Write rather than in
Close, because by the time Close runs the underlying cause has usually been
discarded. First writer wins, so the original fault survives the cascade that
follows it.

It is then classified and reported on the existing eviction log line, the
existing span, and one new counter:

Field Meaning
close_code Bounded classification. Safe as a metric label
close_detail Peer-supplied reason plus numeric code. Unbounded, so logs and spans only
closed_by_peer Present only for QUIC, which states it explicitly. Absence means unknown, not local
opened_at Explicit, because the eviction callback can lag the actual close
closed_at Likewise, so the line can be correlated against other components
local_timeout Which of this service's own timers fired, where one did

New metric nvcf_grpc_proxy_worker_connection_close_code_total{code}.
It complements worker_connection_closed_total{reason}: that one reports which
side, this one reports what the transport said.

Classifier ordering is load-bearing. A QUIC application error also satisfies
net.Error, so the specific types are checked first; otherwise the code and
reason this exists to capture collapse into a bare timeout.

local_timeout is deliberately conservative. It names the worker connection
cache TTL, the transport idle timers, and the QUIC idle timer, and returns
empty for everything else. Timers owned by other components cannot be
identified from here, and naming one wrongly would send whoever reads the line
into the wrong codebase. close_code still characterises those cases.

Not addressed

The proxy cannot attribute a close to a specific hop on the worker leg. A
reverse proxy sits in that path, so when a tunnel dies this service observes
its own connection to that hop going away and has no visibility into which side
originated the close. Attributing that requires correlating the reverse proxy's
access logs by request id. Called out in the issue so it is not expected from
these fields.

Customer Release Notes

Not customer visible.

Plan Summary

Not applicable.

Usage

The new fields appear on the existing log line, so existing searches keep
working:

"worker connection cache eviction triggered" | json | close_code != "none"

Testing

bazel test //src/invocation-plane-services/grpc-proxy/proxy/worker:worker_test
passes. go build ./... and go vet ./proxy/... are clean.

New tests cover classification of QUIC application, transport, stream reset,
idle timeout, handshake timeout and stateless reset errors; HTTP/2 GOAWAY,
stream and connection errors; EOF, ECONNRESET, EPIPE, closed connection,
context cancellation and net timeout; wrapped errors, including that a wrapped
QUIC error keeps its code rather than degrading to timeout. Two further tests
assert that first-writer-wins error capture holds, and that the classifier and
the pre-initialised metric label list cannot drift apart in either direction.

localTimeoutFor has its own table test asserting it names only this service's
timers and stays silent otherwise.

Pre-existing failures in proxy/ratelimit and TestUnauthenticatedError are
loopback networking restrictions in this sandbox. Both reproduce identically on
a clean tree with the change stashed.

Notes

Close codes are pre-initialised so the metric appears on the first scrape
rather than only once each case first occurs, per the observability guidance in
AGENTS.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added detailed worker connection closure tracking, including close reasons, timing, transport codes, error details, and peer-origin information.
    • Added metrics for worker tunnel closures by transport close code.
    • Added support for classifying QUIC, HTTP/2, network, context, timeout, and connection errors.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved timeout identification and connection duration reporting using actual transport close times.
    • Improved handling of connection errors by preserving the first reported transport error and closure timestamp.
    • Sanitized and bounded peer-provided error details for safer diagnostics.

The eviction log line says which side tore a tunnel down but not what the
transport reported while doing it. That leaves the interesting cases
indistinguishable: a peer sending a deliberate close with an error code, an
idle timer expiring somewhere on the path, a stream reset, and a flow being
dropped all look identical. Answering that has meant capturing packets on a
worker while a failure reproduces, which only works while someone is watching.

The information was already there and being discarded. quicconn string-matched
one error text and swallowed it, and CloseFuncConn.onClose took no error, so
nothing downstream could see a cause.

Captures the first transport error on Read and Write rather than in Close,
because by the time Close runs the cause has usually gone, and reports it on
the existing eviction log line, span and a new metric:

  close_code      bounded classification, safe as a metric label
  close_detail    peer-supplied reason and numeric code, logs and spans only
  closed_by_peer  present only for QUIC, which states it explicitly
  opened_at       explicit, since the eviction callback can lag the close
  closed_at       likewise, so the line can be correlated across components
  local_timeout   which of this service's own timers fired, where one did

Ordering in the classifier matters: a QUIC application error also satisfies
net.Error, so specific types are checked first, otherwise the code and reason
this exists to capture collapse into a bare "timeout".

local_timeout is deliberately conservative. It names the worker connection
cache TTL, the transport idle timers and the QUIC idle timer, and returns empty
for anything else. Timers owned by other components cannot be identified from
here, and naming one wrongly would send a reader into the wrong codebase;
close_code still characterises those cases.

Close codes are bounded and pre-initialised so the metric appears on the first
scrape, and a test asserts the classifier and the pre-initialised list cannot
drift apart in either direction.

Not addressed, and recorded in the issue: the proxy cannot attribute a close to
a specific hop on the worker leg. A reverse proxy sits in that path, so when a
tunnel dies this service sees its own connection to that hop go away and has no
visibility into which side originated it. That needs the reverse proxy's access
logs correlated by request id.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba9cf

The change adds transport-close diagnostics to worker eviction logs, spans, and metrics, but the current implementation can still report missing, inaccurate, or misleading close causes and tunnel lifetimes, with some detail paths not enforcing the intended bounds. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance because this could impair production troubleshooting.

Add opened_at and conditional closed_by_peer to the eviction span.

The log includes both fields, but the span records only closed_at. This makes trace data incomplete for the new close-observability contract.

Add opened_at. Append closed_by_peer only when closeInfo.Remote is not nil.

…adowed conn

Self-review found one functional gap and one readability trap.

The client-close path recorded the origin but never stamped the close time.
client_closed is the common case by a wide margin, so the accurate closed_at
would have been absent from most evictions and held_for would have fallen back
to whenever the cache callback ran. That is the case the new fields exist to
serve, so it was the one place that most needed the stamp.

SetConnection shadowed conn with the wrapper immediately after constructing it.
The behaviour was correct, since the wrapper captured the original before the
shadow, but a reader could reasonably conclude the raw conn was still being
handed to the transport. Uses the wrapper by name instead.

Adds first-writer-wins tests for MarkClosed and SetCloseError, including that a
nil error must not occupy the slot and lose the real cause that follows.

Also documents that held_for is now measured to the close rather than to the
eviction callback. The callback can lag the close, so the previous value was
the tunnel lifetime plus an unknown amount of cache latency, which is exactly
the error that makes correlation across components hard. Where no close is
stamped the fallback reproduces the old behaviour exactly.

Self-review turned up two things, both now fixed in dd46c00.

One functional gap. The client-close path recorded the origin but never
stamped the close time. client_closed is the common case by a wide margin, so
the accurate closed_at would have been missing from most evictions and
held_for would have fallen back to whenever the cache callback ran. The case
these fields exist to serve was the one case not served.

One readability trap. SetConnection shadowed conn with the wrapper right
after constructing it. The behaviour was correct, because the wrapper captured
the original before the shadow, but a reviewer could reasonably read it as the
raw conn still being handed to the transport. Now uses the wrapper by name.

Behaviour change worth calling out explicitly, since it affects a field
people are actively querying: held_for is now measured to the close rather
than to the eviction callback. The callback can lag the close, so the previous
value was the tunnel lifetime plus an unknown amount of cache latency. That
lag is a plausible contributor to discrepancies seen when comparing this
service's numbers against a peer's for the same event. Where no close is
stamped, the fallback reproduces the old behaviour exactly, so this only
changes values where better data now exists.

Also added first-writer-wins tests for MarkClosed and SetCloseError,
including that a nil error must not occupy the slot and lose the real cause
that follows it.

Verified: bazel test passes, and go test -race ./proxy/worker is clean,
which matters because the error capture sits on the Read and Write path and is
written from whichever goroutine faults first.

Addresses review feedback on peer-provided text reaching logs and spans.

QUIC reason phrases and HTTP/2 debug data are written by the remote end and
neither protocol bounds them. They now pass through sanitizePeerText before
reaching Detail: truncated to 256 bytes and stripped of control characters, so
a peer cannot push unbounded text into the log stream or use newlines to forge
a log line. Structured encoding already escapes these, so this is defence in
depth rather than the only guard.

The reason phrase is kept rather than dropped. It is where a peer states why it
closed, which is the question these fields exist to answer; removing it would
leave the numeric code with no explanation and defeat the change. Bounding it
addresses the exposure without that cost.

Truncation happens on a byte offset, which can split a multi-byte rune, so the
sanitizer drops decoding failures and a test asserts the output stays valid
UTF-8.

Also adds the missing Write-error coverage: first-error capture was tested for
Read but not Write, and there was no test that first-writer-wins holds across
both directions.

Both review comments addressed in e33eed0.

Write-error test coverage — valid, and a real gap. First-error capture was
tested for Read but not Write. Added both the missing Write case and a test
that first-writer-wins holds across the two directions, since that ordering is
the property that matters and neither single-direction test covered it.

Peer-supplied text in logs — the exposure is real, but I have not taken the
suggested fix of removing the text, because that would defeat the change.

The reason phrase is where a peer states why it closed. It is the single most
useful field here and the reason the PR exists; a numeric code with no
explanation does not answer the question being asked. Dropping it trades the
entire benefit for a small reduction in exposure.

Instead the text is bounded. sanitizePeerText truncates to 256 bytes and
strips control characters, so a peer cannot push unbounded text into the log
stream or use newlines to forge a log line. Structured encoding already escapes
these, so this is defence in depth rather than the only guard. The protocol
codes stay exactly as they were, unbounded text does not.

Worth noting on threat model: the peer on this path is an NVCF worker, not an
arbitrary internet client, and the guideline being cited concerns logging our
users'
secrets and request bodies. That is a different risk from recording
what a peer sent us, which is ordinary diagnostic practice. Bounding it is the
proportionate response.

One thing the review did not raise that the fix needed: truncation happens at a
byte offset and can split a multi-byte rune, which would emit invalid UTF-8 into
the log pipeline. The sanitizer drops decode failures and there is a test
asserting the output stays valid UTF-8.

Verified: bazel test passes, go test -race ./proxy/worker clean, go vet
clean.

257-300: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Capture the transport error before publishing closure.

CloseFuncConn.Close calls onClose before Conn.Close. A concurrent Read or Write can therefore record its transport error after WorkerConnection.CloseError() is sampled, causing eviction to report CloseCodeNone. Publish the error from Read and Write, or wait for in-flight I/O before sampling FirstError(). Add a concurrent close test. Update the relevant sequence diagram if the close sequence changes.

190-197: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bound generic error details before they reach logs and spans.

CloseCodeTimeout and CloseCodeUnknown copy raw err.Error() into CloseInfo.Detail. A custom net.Error or unknown error can carry control characters, secrets, or an unbounded message. Apply one bounded sanitization helper to error-derived details. Omit arbitrary text for unknown errors when the source is not a known protocol field. Add tests for long and control-containing errors.

As per coding guidelines: "Do not log secrets, tokens, credentials, or full request bodies containing user data. Redact or omit them."

As per PR objectives: "Include sanitized peer-supplied transport details where available."

…eer fields

Second round of review feedback.

sanitizePeerText advertised a 256-byte bound but could return 267, because the
truncation marker was appended after the cut rather than reserved out of it.
The marker's length now comes out of the budget, and the test asserts the
advertised bound directly instead of asserting the pre-marker length.

Detail strings emitted reason="" and debug="" when the peer sent no such field,
which reads as though the peer said nothing when in fact it sent nothing.
Optional peer-supplied fields are now appended only when the sanitized text is
non-empty, which also means a reason consisting entirely of control characters
is dropped rather than surfacing as an empty field.

Corrects the documentation on closedAt. It said "when the transport actually
went away", which is accurate for the worker path but not the client path,
where the stamp is taken when the client connection is observed to go away. The
field is now described as what it is: when the proxy observed the tunnel stop
carrying traffic, recorded by whichever side noticed first. Teardown completion
is deliberately not used, because teardown is our own cleanup and can lag
arbitrarily, and folding that lag into held_for is the measurement error this
field exists to remove.

Adds a test asserting held_for reflects the session rather than the session
plus teardown latency, and tests covering empty and non-empty peer fields.

Second round addressed in ba9cfec. Three of the four, plus one I am pushing
back on.

Sanitized detail exceeding maxDetailLen — valid, and my own test was
written to accept it. The marker was appended after the cut rather than
reserved out of it, so a 256-byte bound returned 267 bytes. The marker's length
now comes out of the budget and the test asserts the advertised bound directly
rather than the pre-marker length.

Empty optional diagnostics — valid, and it contradicted the PR's own stated
goal of omitting unavailable information cleanly. reason="" reads as though
the peer said nothing when in fact it sent no field at all. Optional peer
fields are now appended only when the sanitized text is non-empty, which also
means a reason consisting entirely of control characters is dropped rather than
surfacing as an empty field.

Write-error test — already added in e33eed0, before this round. The comment
is pointing at the pre-fix revision. Both
TestCloseFuncConnRecordsFirstWriteError and
TestCloseFuncConnFirstErrorSpansReadAndWrite are present.

closedAt at transport closure — the criticism of the documentation is
right and I have fixed it. The proposed behaviour change is not, and I have not
made it.

The doc said "when the transport actually went away". That is true on the
worker path and false on the client path, where the stamp is taken when the
client connection is observed to go away. That inconsistency was mine and it is
now described accurately: when the proxy observed the tunnel stop carrying
traffic, recorded by whichever side noticed first.

On the behaviour, the finding says a delayed eviction makes held_for
under-report. It is the other way around. Stamping at teardown completion would
make held_for the tunnel lifetime plus our own cleanup latency, which
over-reports, and removing exactly that error is why this field exists. The
previous revision measured to the eviction callback and that is the bug this
change fixes. Stamping when the session ends is the accurate reading.

Added TestClosedAtExcludesTeardownLatency to pin that down: a close stamped
at the session end followed by teardown stamps 30s and 90s later must still
yield the session lifetime.

Happy to be overruled by a human reviewer if the intended semantic is
"teardown finished" rather than "session ended", but that would be a different
and less useful field.

bazel test passes, go test -race ./proxy/worker clean.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not append a truncation marker after sanitization removes all text.

If a peer sends more than 256 control bytes, sanitization removes the truncated prefix and Line 96 returns "[truncated]". appendPeerText then emits reason="[truncated]" or debug="[truncated]" although no usable peer field remains. Append the marker only when the sanitized text is nonempty. Add long control-only cases for both field types.

Proposed fix
-	if truncated {
+	if truncated && s != "" {
 		s += truncationMarker
 	}
