Summary

  • Adds a 30s periodic reconciler (reconcileRTCDSessions) that compares calls_sessions DB rows against RTCD's GetSessions for each active call and deletes any row RTCD no longer knows about
  • If all sessions for a call are orphaned (RTCD reports 0), also cleans up call state so the channel is not permanently blocked for new calls
  • Starts automatically when rtcdManager is initialized; exits via the existing stopCh in OnDeactivate

Root cause

RTCD binds each session's close callback to the connID of the app-node WebSocket connection that sent the join. If that node dies, RTCD can no longer deliver ClientMessageClose for those sessions. The calls_sessions row survives indefinitely, and because cleanCallState (in cleanUpState) counts DB sessions to determine whether a call has ended, the call stays active even after all real participants have left.

The reconciler is the only fix that doesn't require RTCD changes: by the time a session is missing from GetSessions, RTCD has already cleaned up its own connMap entry, so the plugin-side DB row is the only thing left to remove.

Test plan

  • TestReconcileRTCDSessions covers: no-op with no calls, non-RTCD calls skipped, unreachable RTCD host skipped, all sessions live (nothing deleted), one orphaned among live sessions (orphan deleted, call active), all sessions orphaned (orphans deleted, call state cleaned)
  • make check-style passes

When the app node that owns a session's RTCD WebSocket connection dies,
RTCD can no longer deliver ClientMessageClose for that session. The
calls_sessions row stays indefinitely, blocking the call from ending
even after all real participants have left.

Add a 30s ticker on the plugin side that compares calls_sessions DB
rows against GetSessions on RTCD and removes any row RTCD no longer
knows about. If all sessions for a call are orphaned, also clean up
the call state so the channel is unblocked for new calls.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RTCD activation now starts an asynchronous session reconciler. The reconciler runs periodically, compares RTCD and database sessions, removes orphaned sessions, and cleans up calls with no remaining sessions. Tests cover active, missing, live, orphaned, and ended sessions.

Changes

RTCD session reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reconciler loop and session cleanup
server/rtcd_reconciler.go
The reconciler runs every 30 seconds until shutdown. It retrieves active calls, checks RTCD compatibility, compares sessions, deletes orphaned database sessions, and cleans up call state when no sessions remain.
Activation wiring and reconciliation tests
server/activate.go, server/rtcd_reconciler_test.go
RTCD activation starts the reconciler after state cleanup. Tests cover calls without hosts, live sessions, orphaned sessions, ended calls, and no active calls.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f40dd

The new cleanup path can leave a call permanently blocked if its final state update fails after orphan rows are deleted, and the accompanying tests currently have a mock-argument mismatch that must be corrected before merge.

Match the LogInfo variadic argument count.

MockAPI.LogInfo forwards all arguments to mock.Called. The expectation declares 11 arguments, but the reconciler calls LogInfo with five arguments on orphan-session paths. Maybe() does not accept a different argument count. Define the expectation with five arguments.

Make terminal call cleanup retryable.

At Line 101, cleanup depends on orphaned > 0 from the current pass. If lockCallReturnState or cleanCallState fails after DeleteCallSession succeeds, the next pass finds no database sessions and sets orphaned to zero. It then never retries cleanup.

Persist a retryable terminal-cleanup state, or evaluate the zero-session condition under the call lock without depending on rows deleted in the same pass. Add a test for a failed lock or failed cleanCallState followed by a successful reconciliation pass.
