# Remediation System Bug Fix - Connection Detection Logic
|
|
|
|
## Problem Summary
|
|
|
|
The remediation system had a critical logic inversion bug that prevented it from detecting stable connections during the `waiting_for_stability` state, causing unnecessary timeouts.
|
|
|
|
### Symptoms
|
|
- Connection showed as "connected (DHT: 357 nodes)" in logs but system treated it as unstable
|
|
- Remediation timed out after 1+ hours despite connection being stable
|
|
- System accumulated failures even when connection was working
|
|
|
|
### Root Cause
|
|
**File**: [`monitoring/connection_monitor.py`](monitoring/connection_monitor.py)
|
|
**Lines**: 96-100 (before fix)
|
|
|
|
The bug was in the `_determine_connection_state` method:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# BUGGY CODE (before fix):
|
|
if self.state_manager.remediation_state != 'waiting_for_stability':
|
|
return 'stable'
|
|
else:
|
|
# In remediation, maintain current state until 1-hour requirement is met
|
|
return self.state_manager.connection_state # ❌ WRONG
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This logic returned the **previous connection state** instead of the actual current state when in remediation, creating a feedback loop where the system could never detect stability.
|
|
|
|
## The Fix
|
|
|
|
**Changed to**:
|
|
```python
|
|
# FIXED CODE:
|
|
if is_connected:
|
|
self.state_manager.consecutive_stable_checks += 1
|
|
# Always return 'stable' when connection is good, regardless of remediation state
|
|
# The 1-hour stability requirement is handled in the stability tracking logic, not here
|
|
return 'stable'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Impact
|
|
|
|
### Before Fix
|
|
- System could not detect stable connections during remediation
|
|
- Remediation always timed out after 62 minutes (3720 seconds)
|
|
- Connection quality metrics were inaccurate
|
|
|
|
### After Fix
|
|
- System correctly detects stable connections immediately
|
|
- Remediation can complete successfully when connection stabilizes
|
|
- Stability timer starts properly when connection becomes stable
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
A verification test was created ([`test_fix_verification.py`](test_fix_verification.py)) that simulates the exact problematic scenario:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python test_fix_verification.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The test confirms that:
|
|
1. Good connections return 'stable' during remediation
|
|
2. Bad connections return 'unstable'
|
|
3. Error conditions are handled properly
|
|
4. The specific log scenario now works correctly
|
|
|
|
## Files Modified
|
|
|
|
1. **`monitoring/connection_monitor.py`** - Fixed logic inversion bug in `_determine_connection_state`
|
|
2. **`test_fix_verification.py`** - Added verification test for the fix
|
|
|
|
## Future Enhancements
|
|
|
|
While this fixes the critical bug, additional improvements could be made:
|
|
|
|
1. **Sliding window detection** - Track connection quality over multiple checks
|
|
2. **Graceful transitions** - Require multiple consecutive state changes
|
|
3. **Enhanced logging** - Better connection quality metrics
|
|
|
|
These can be implemented as separate enhancements now that the core detection logic is fixed. |
