**This is a re-issue of an older pull request 4524 to restart the CI pipeline which was broken on the older version of main.

Proto mirror sync (rest-api/proto/flow/):

Add DecommissionRack RPC and DecommissionRackRequest message to the source proto (src/v1/flow.proto) so external consumers (REST API, site-workflow) can call the endpoint once it is ungated.
Manually patch the generated client and server stubs in gen/v1/ with a TODO to replace via buf generate from rest-api/proto/flow/.
Poll loop robustness (executeWaitDecommissionedAction):

Add a consecutive-failure budget (5 failures) so a permanent GetDecommissionStatus error aborts within a few poll intervals rather than spinning until the 4-hour deadline.
Treat a component absent from Core's response (state "") as already decommissioned: Core removes the resource record as the terminal step, so an absent ID is the expected success condition, not an error. Improve the error message for genuinely unexpected states.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for submitting rack decommission operations through the Flow API.
    • Requests can include target specifications, descriptions, queue options, and operation-rule overrides.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Decommission requests now reject component-level targets; only rack targets are accepted.
    • Improved status handling so transient errors recover correctly and missing component records are treated as successfully decommissioned.
    • Operations now stop with a clear failure after repeated status-check errors or unexpected states.

Walkthrough

The PR adds the DecommissionRack RPC, restricts decommission requests to rack targets, and updates status polling with bounded retries, failure counting, and terminal handling for missing component records.

Changes

Rack decommission flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
DecommissionRack API contract
rest-api/proto/flow/src/v1/flow.proto
The Flow service now exposes DecommissionRack. DecommissionRackRequest includes target specifications, descriptions, queue options, and operation-rule overrides.
Rack-only target validation
rest-api/flow/internal/service/server_impl.go
The service returns codes.InvalidArgument when a decommission request contains component targets.
Bounded decommission status polling
rest-api/flow/internal/task/executor/temporalworkflow/workflow/actions.go
Status retrieval uses a 30-second, single-attempt activity. Five consecutive failures abort the workflow. Successful calls reset the counter. Missing component records are treated as decommissioned, while unexpected states still fail the workflow.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f4465

The PR adds rack decommission support, but the public RPC still rejects every call and status polling can remain pending indefinitely if work is not picked up. These integration and availability issues should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Wire DecommissionRack to decommissionRackImpl.

FlowServerImpl.DecommissionRack at lines 809-816 always returns codes.Unimplemented and discards the request. External RPC calls cannot reach this new rack-only validation or the task submission path.

Replace the public handler with a call to decommissionRackImpl, or remove this API addition until the operation is available.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

For go.temporal.io/sdk v1.39.0, does workflow.ActivityOptions.StartToCloseTimeout include time while an activity waits for a worker? Which ActivityOptions timeout bounds the full schedule-to-completion interval?

💡 Result:

For go.temporal.io/sdk v1.39.0, the workflow.ActivityOptions.StartToCloseTimeout does not include the time an activity spends waiting for a worker [1][2]. The clock for this timeout begins when a worker picks up the activity task and stops when the task completes, fails, or is cancelled [2]. Consequently, it measures the duration of a single execution attempt of the activity body [3][2]. The ActivityOptions timeout that bounds the full schedule-to-completion interval is ScheduleToCloseTimeout [1][4]. This timeout covers the entire duration of an activity execution, including all retries, starting from the moment the activity is first scheduled by the workflow until the final activity task reaches a closed status [1][2].

Bound activity scheduling as well as activity execution.

StartToCloseTimeout starts only after a worker starts GetDecommissionStatus. If no worker polls the task queue, .Get() can remain pending indefinitely. Add ScheduleToCloseTimeout: 30 * time.Second to bound the full activity lifetime.
