Summary

When Flow reports a video done (and bills it) but the signed-media download then fails, the catalog left the asset pending forever and the operation read as a failed generation. Nothing could tell "never generated" from "generated, transfer lost".

Closes #896. Refs #898: items 1 and 3 are done here; items 2 and 4 remain.

Not in this PR: gflow data media still prints no status, because that needs an AssetLookup change. gflow data download does not yet reconcile the asset row after a successful recovery. Both are follow-ups.

Test plan

  • New tests in tests/data/test_failure_recording.py: a failed download marks the asset generated with error_type=media-download, and a failed generation still leaves the asset pending. The download test fails without the recorder change.
  • New tests/test_data_queries.py::test_list_videos_carries_asset_status, covering both the aggregated and the --all-copies SQL. It failed before the change.
  • Affected suites (tests/data, cli, api, worker, mcp, queries): 2968 passed.
  • Impeccable Routine: hygiene, doc links, website PII, website docs --check, council memory, ruff, format and pyright are all green.
  • E2E, $0: pytest -m "e2e and e2e_data" tests/e2e/test_data_download_e2e.py on a live profile gave 2 passed in 22.5 s. Generation itself is unchanged, and the only transport change is the class of error the download helper raises.
  • SonarCloud gate green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • When a video download fails after generation completes, the video retains its successful status while the download failure is recorded separately.
  • New Features
    • Video listings now include each video’s status in both table and JSON output.

… asset status (#896, #898)

Flow reports DONE and bills before the signed-media GET; when that GET fails the
asset stayed 'pending' forever and the operation read as a failed generation.
get_signed_media now raises MediaDownloadError (a NetworkError, exit 6, slug
media-download), and record_failed_operation - the chokepoint every video caller
and the MCP worker already route through - marks that media id
MEDIA_GENERATION_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL via the previously dead update_asset_status.

VideoRow carries status, so gflow data list videos (table and --json) can show it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Signed-media download failures now use a distinct error and mark the associated asset successful while recording the operation as failed. Video-list results include asset status, which the table and JSON output expose.

Changes

Video media status

Layer / File(s) Summary
Classify and record media download failures
src/gflow_cli/errors.py, src/gflow_cli/api/transports/_common.py, src/gflow_cli/data/recorder.py, tests/data/test_failure_recording.py, tests/api/transports/test_signed_media_retry.py, CHANGELOG.md, docs/DATA_LAYER.md, website/docs/DATA_LAYER.md
get_signed_media raises MediaDownloadError when retryable failures persist. When the error has a media ID, failure recording marks the asset successful and records the operation as failed. Tests cover this behavior and distinguish it from generation failure. Documentation describes the error classification and the HTTP-error case, which leaves the asset pending.
Return and display video status
src/gflow_cli/data/queries.py, src/gflow_cli/cli_data.py, tests/test_data_queries.py, tests/test_cli_data.py, docs/DATA_LAYER.md, website/docs/DATA_LAYER.md
Video queries return each asset’s status in both query modes. The video table and JSON output include the status. Tests verify status in query results and JSON output.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 95ddd

Exhausted connection retries now leave completed assets marked successful while recording the operation failure, and video listings expose status. The known HTTP-response case remains a documented follow-up; no new merge-blocking risk is established.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 95ddd

A failed download can now mark a clip as generated, which addresses a real catalog gap. The status change does not verify that the asset belongs to the failed operation, and separate database writes can leave incomplete history if recording fails. The identified exposure is within a profile's catalog; no cross-profile access or signed-link disclosure was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: A download error can mark any asset with the same profile and media ID successful without proving that it is the output of the failed operation. If startup recording failed on a same-profile collision, the new write could misstate an older asset's generation status.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The new asset transition is not atomic with failure recording. In particular, an asset-write failure before fallback operation insertion can leave the failed download without its terminal operation record; a later fallback-insert failure can leave a successful asset without that failure record.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new write is bounded by profile name and media ID in the local asset catalog. Its plausible integrity impact is a status misstatement within that profile, visible to video-list consumers; the examined write does not reach another profile's rows.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If an upstream video identity collides with an existing pending asset in the same profile and startup persistence fails, a subsequent retry-exhausted download can cause the new branch to mark that existing asset generated. No evidence establishes that Flow actually reuses IDs or that this path has been exploited.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The classic video caller checks the final download-response host before reading bytes; the migrated caller checks signed-URL hosts and disables redirects. HTTP and disallowed-host responses do not use the new transport-retry exception branch.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Separate terminal-state transactions and a best-effort recording wrapper protect the user's original error but cannot guarantee a complete, consistent catalog account of that failure after storage faults.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Require the failed operation to own the video asset before changing its status, and make the operation and asset terminal transition atomic or durably reconcilable, including the fallback path.

Classify failed signed-media responses as MediaDownloadError.

The generation download paths raise WireFormatError for failed HTTP responses. The failure recorder marks the operation failed, but it marks the generated asset successful only for MediaDownloadError with a media ID. The asset can therefore remain pending.

Raise MediaDownloadError with the media ID in the signed-media HTTP-status branches. Keep WireFormatError for response-shape and content-validation failures.

- Narrow the CHANGELOG to what the code covers (a dropped connection); an HTTP
  error answer on the signed URL still leaves the asset pending. Note the
  Problem Details type change under Changed.
- docs/DATA_LAYER.md: media-download in the error_type list, the failure-recording
  rule, and the new STATUS column; website mirror regenerated.
- Write the asset status after the operation status, so a busy store loses the
  less important write.
- Pin the transport raising MediaDownloadError with its media_id, and the status

Council review: 🟡 YELLOW → addressed in a4b42482

Dim Verdict Headline
D0 CI 🟢 Everything green except pip-audit, which is a develop-wide CVE fixed in #917
D1 Correctness 🟡 The CHANGELOG over-claimed: only a dropped connection is covered, and an HTTP error answer still leaves pending
D2+D14 Quality/YAGNI 🟢 The subclass is the smallest discriminator, because error_type derives from problem_type
D3 Security 🟢 The signed URL never reaches detail, the DB, --json or MCP; the STATUS column is escaped
D4 Tests 🟡 The transport raise type and the CLI status field were unasserted
D5 Memory/docs 🟡 docs/DATA_LAYER.md did not document media-download or the new column
D7/D8/D15 🟡 Write order under a busy store; Problem Details type change not noted

Fixed:

  • The CHANGELOG is narrowed to what the code covers and notes the type change under Changed.
  • DATA_LAYER.md gets three sections, and the website mirror is regenerated.
  • The asset status is now written after the operation status.
  • New tests pin MediaDownloadError with its media_id from the transport, and the status field in data list videos --json.

…a repeated start (ffroliva#898)

Items 1 and 3 of ffroliva#898 shipped in ffroliva#912. Item 2: both video recorders wrote
flow_workflow_id=None; the migrated composer now carries the generation record's slot-0
workflow id on VideoStarted/VideoResult and the recorder persists it without clobbering it.
Item 4: record_started_video reuses a known media id's asset row instead of minting one
that violates UNIQUE(profile_name, flow_media_id). upsert_asset's conflict target is kept on
purpose (callers link by the id they pass; image collisions must raise) and documented.
