dagger-node-deadline-below-bridge-stall-regime
Done. I diagnosed the issue, built and tested a surgical fix, and wrote the deliverables.
The private repo github.com/Hermes-DAGger/<project> isn't present in this sandbox, but the shipped ~/.local/bin/dagger binary contains the engine contract. Extracting it confirmed:
timeout?: string (e.g. "120s"), implemented in src/runner/runner.go; unset defaults to 600s.node deadline exceeded: POST /api/v1/execute was still in flight… raise this node's declared timeout (unset nodes default to 600s)…retry/retryDelay are separate options, and retry-on-timeout self-collides with the still-running server-side attempt.Root cause: the duckbrain-sync lane overrode the safe 600s default with 120–180s on bridge-mediated (tool()/llm()) nodes. Those calls stall >300s under scheduler load, so the runner's client-side deadline fired at exactly the declared budget (180001ms) while the gateway request was still alive — node failed, downstream skipped, 0 keys written. The 13ms off-bridge timing proves the budget was consumed by bridge latency, not node work.
/workspace/solution.md — title, root-cause analysis, exact fix (canonical timeout: "600s", discovery commands, full surgical patcher for both .d5s YAML/JSON and dag.node(...) TypeScript DSL, minimal sed fallback, explicit do-not-change list), and verification (static greps + REAL_MODE=0 dry-run assertions + CI guard)./workspace/raise_bridge_timeouts.py — the patcher; edits only timeout, detects bridge nodes by body/flag/type, preserves comments and quoting./workspace/evidence.md — engine contract extraction, reproduction input, patch diff, and exit-code checks.Verified on a reproduction (YAML and TS forms): scan_sources 180s → 600s, summarize 120s → 600s, retry/retryDelay byte-for-byte unchanged, non-bridge normalize untouched, and --check returns exit 0 after patch / exit 1 before.
