* fix(relay): serve readiness from last-known-good during auth or SQL blips
The load balancer health check hits /ready, which re-probed the auth JWKS
endpoint and Postgres on every poll and reported not-ready on the first
failure. On 2026-09-16 an auth outage therefore took every cell out of the
load balancer within ~30s and dropped every connected host, even though the
token verifier caches keys in process and kept verifying tokens.
/ready now remembers when each dependency last answered and keeps reporting
ready while the failed one stays inside a grace window
(ORCA_RELAY_READINESS_GRACE_MS, default 15 minutes, 0 disables). A process
that has never succeeded still gates on the real dependencies, so cold boot
is unchanged. Grace answers carry degraded plus the failure reason on the
existing readiness observation, and entering or leaving grace logs once.
MIG autohealing still uses the dependency-free /health endpoint.
* fix(relay): split readiness grace per dependency and probe both every poll
Review follow-ups on the last-known-good readiness window.
An unset environment variable arrives as an empty string, which z.coerce
reads as 0, so the single ORCA_RELAY_READINESS_GRACE_MS would have switched
the window off instead of falling back to its default. The two replacement
variables preprocess '' to undefined.
JWKS and SQL now get separate windows and separate clocks:
ORCA_RELAY_READINESS_JWKS_GRACE_MS defaults to 15 minutes, and
ORCA_RELAY_READINESS_SQL_GRACE_MS to 3 minutes. Each cell is its own load
balancer backend, so failing readiness never re-routes a host, it only makes
that hostname unreachable, and a host that lands on a SQL-dead cell gets
WRONG_CELL and is re-placed by the director. Three minutes rides a Cloud SQL
failover without hiding a per-cell fault for a quarter of an hour.
Both dependencies are probed on every poll. A JWKS failure used to
short-circuit the SQL probe, which let the SQL clock age with no evidence
behind it. Grace transitions are emitted per dependency, so JWKS recovering
while SQL fails logs both sides instead of nothing.
/ready keeps its 200 and its {ok:true} body when healthy, and adds
degraded plus the dependency list when the answer comes from a window.
