broker-state-unavailable
What you see. memoryd logs one line when it cannot get a session's state from brokerd,
then this entry:
memoryd: /srv/bx/run/memory-broker/state.sock: Connection refused (os error 111); turns wait undecided; see docs/runbook.md#broker-state-unavailable
The reason may instead be No such file or directory (nothing listens), a timeout
(frame I/O error: Resource temporarily unavailable, after 5 seconds without a byte), or
brokerd: <its error> when brokerd answered with an error. When brokerd answers again,
memoryd logs memoryd: brokerd answers on its state socket again; turns are decided.
Conversations are not affected.
Why. With [honcho], memoryd decides where each finished turn goes in Honcho: the trusted
workspace, the untrusted one, or nowhere (M5c spec, section 5). It needs brokerd's record of the
session's class and trust for that, and never guesses it: a guess could put a turn from a session
that read a web page in the trusted workspace. So nothing is decided while brokerd does not
answer. The turns wait, in memory, and are decided at the next turn's end of any session once
brokerd answers, from the session's state then (which can only have moved towards untrusted).
The outage is logged once, not at every turn. A restart of memoryd forgets the waiting turns
until each of their sessions has another turn.
Confirm.
ls -l "$BOXMAKER_HOME/run/memory-broker/state.sock"
grep -n 'state' /etc/boxmaker/memoryd.toml /etc/boxmaker/brokerd.toml
memoryd's [sockets] state and brokerd's [sockets] state must name the same path (both
default to <home>/run/memory-broker/state.sock). If brokerd answered with an error, its own
log names the problem, usually broker-state-damaged.
Fix. Start brokerd if it is stopped; make the two [sockets] state paths agree; or, for
brokerd's error, follow the entry its log names.
Check. At the next turn's end memoryd logs that brokerd answers again, and
memory/honcho.jsonl gains a decided line for each turn that waited.
