Direzione di ricerca

Start at create_stage12_engine, which sets SQLAlchemy's QueuePool with pool_size=5 and max_overflow=5, and at runtime_store(), which builds a new engine per coordinator and worker call. Pull request #789 is already open against this work, so read it and its diff before starting anything. Done means a connection is held only for each short operation, refused connections are retried with bounded backoff, and a failed failure-record write no longer replaces the original error.

Descrizione

Problem

Stage 12 coordinators and workers run out of database sessions. From 6 to 13 October 2026, 106 of the 153 production Stage 12 failures recorded:

FATAL: (EMAXCONNSESSION) max clients reached in session mode - max clients are limited to pool_size: 15

These were 100 US nationwide, 5 UK nationwide and 1 US state report. In 66 of them the coordinator failed at its initial claim, before any simulation started.

When the database is full, the failure handler's own write can also fail. The original error is then lost, and the comparison or simulation record stays running.

Cause

  • create_stage12_engine used SQLAlchemy's default QueuePool with pool_size=5 and max_overflow=5.
  • runtime_store() builds a new engine for every coordinator and worker invocation.
  • A connection returned to QueuePool keeps its physical session open. Each process therefore holds a pooler session while it calculates or waits, for up to 50 minutes.
  • pool_recycle=300 doesn't help, because recycling is only checked when a connection is checked out.
  • The coordinator and both country workers each allow 10 containers. Up to 30 processes can therefore each hold a session against a limit of 15.

Expected

  • A database session is held only for each short operation.
  • A connection refused before any statement is sent is retried, with a bounded backoff.
  • A failure to write the failure record never replaces the original error.

Follow-ups (not in scope)

  • Mark comparison and simulation rows that stay running past the coordinator's 4,500 s timeout as failed. This needs a scheduled function. It would read STAGE12_DATABASE_URL, which comes from Google Secret Manager and reaches Modal through the stage12-evaluation-runtime secret. No workflow currently runs .github/scripts/stage12-sync-modal-secrets.sh, so how that Modal secret is populated is unconfirmed.
  • Consider the transaction-mode pooler if concurrent database operations still approach 15 after this change.
