Percentage and equal phase planning can round a configured phase down to zero targets when the selected rack set is small. The planner previously preserved that empty phase index, while the dispatcher treated a phase with no targets as unfinished. Runs then stayed Running forever before later targets were submitted.

This change:

  • compacts newly materialized phase indexes so only non-empty phases consume an index;
  • skips legacy empty phase gaps independently of automatic or manual advance, jumping directly to the next materialized phase so consecutive gaps do not add dispatcher polling delays; and
  • derives REST totalPhases from the materialized target phase indexes for detail, list, and locked control reads, keeping reported progress on the same coordinate as the dispatcher without adding application-level N+1 queries;
  • uses the next materialized phase as the single source of truth for terminal and advance decisions, with explicit validation that every advance decision carries a destination phase; and
  • documents zero-target phase omission in OpenAPI and regenerates the SDK and published API reference.

Together, these changes let new runs complete with contiguous phase indexes and allow already-persisted runs with sparse indexes to recover.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Empty execution phases are now skipped automatically instead of blocking progress.
    • Runs remain active while advancing to the next populated phase, with a clear skip status.
    • Manual and automatic phase advancement now handle gaps and empty phases correctly.
    • Targets in later phases are dispatched correctly after empty phases.
    • Phase planning preserves all selected targets and maintains consistent ordering.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified that phases with no selected targets may be omitted.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for empty phases across automatic, manual, percentage-based, and equal-distribution policies.

Walkthrough

The change omits zero-sized planned phases, derives materialized phase metadata, supports legacy phase-index gaps, and makes automatic and manual dispatch skip non-terminal empty phases.

Changes

Empty Phase Handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Phase compaction
rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/manager/planner/planner.go, rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/manager/planner/planner_test.go
Planning omits zero-sized phases and assigns contiguous indexes. Tests cover percentage rounding and excessive equal-phase counts.
Materialized phase metadata
rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/operationrun.go, rest-api/flow/internal/db/model/operation_run.go, rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/manager/store/..., rest-api/flow/internal/converter/dao/converter.go, rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/manager/store/store_test.go
The operation run exposes a derived total phase count. Store queries derive this count and the nearest later materialized phase index.
Summary and conversion updates
rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/progress.go, rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/progress_test.go, rest-api/flow/internal/converter/protobuf/...
Phase summaries expose NextPhaseIndex and CurrentPhaseEmpty. Summary conversion uses the materialized phase count without parsing options.
Dispatch skip behavior
rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/manager/dispatcher/..., rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/manager/manual_controls.go, rest-api/flow/internal/operationrun/manager/manager_test.go
Dispatch resolves explicit next indexes and skips non-terminal empty phases. Tests cover automatic and manual policies, deferred submission, and legacy phase-index gaps.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f5298

REST list pagination can return duplicate or missing operation runs when multiple records share the same creation timestamp, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to add a unique ordering tie-breaker.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add a unique secondary sort key before pagination.

Line 190 orders only by orun.created_at. Runs with equal timestamps have an undefined relative order. Offset pagination can then skip or repeat runs. Order by orun.created_at DESC, orun.id DESC before Offset and Limit.

Proposed fix
-		OrderExpr("orun.created_at DESC")
+		OrderExpr("orun.created_at DESC, orun.id DESC")

As per coding guidelines, “Paginated operations must implement deterministic ordering before pagination”.
