Ruben FiszelandClaude Opus 4.8 fa3644281f fix(monitor): diagnose zombie-flow OOM on the transition worker, not q.worker (#10286)
handle_zombie_flows() joined worker_ping on the flow's queue-row worker
(q.worker) only. In nested/subflow/forloop cases that worker is frequently
NOT the one that performed the flow's final state transition, so all OOM
detection ran against a healthy bystander and the diagnostic wrongly told
on-call to chase a deadlock / SIGQUIT.

Change 1: when q.worker itself looks healthy, additionally search worker_ping
for a plausible culprit — a different worker on the same pod (worker_instance)
or worker group whose last ping clusters around the flow's last_ping and has
since gone silent (the signature of a worker OOM-killed mid state-transition),
picking the one closest in time to the transition. If found, the message names
that worker and routes to the OOM explanation. The extra query runs only on the
rare zombie path and fails soft (warn + fall back) so it never blocks the cancel.

Change 2: reorder the healthy-q.worker hint to lead with "check whether a
different worker on the same pod/group was OOM-killed around {last_ping}",
keeping deadlock/SIGQUIT as the secondary possibility.

Windmill Backend

This folder holds all backend components, the src/ folder only contains files used to build the "root" binary.

Components

name description
windmill-api The API server, exposing functionality to other components and the frontend
windmill-audit Contains audit functionality, allowing different components to record important actions
windmill-common Common code shared by all crates
windmill-queue Contains job & flow queuing functionality, commonly written to by the API server and read from by workers
windmill-worker The worker. Used to process and execute flows & jobs.
parsers Contains code to parse signatures in different langauges.
