A `loop` node aborts the entire flow run when one iteration's node fails — a single bad row kills a whole scheduled sweep, and there is no per-iteration containment to opt into

[os-trump]

Platform ask from objectstack-ai/hotcrm, the reference CRM app. Measured on @objectstack/runtime 17.1.0. Nothing is mis-implemented against a stated contract — there is no contract here to state, which is the ask.

The failure, measured end to end

case_sla_monitor is a scheduled sweep: select every breached case, then for each one flag the breach and notify the owner. On a fresh boot it died terminally:

ERROR Trigger-fired run of flow 'case_sla_monitor' failed (trigger 'schedule')
 Node 'notify_team' failed: notify: at least one recipient is required,
 but every recipient template resolved to nothing: {currentCase.owner_id}

crm_case.owner_id is nullable and an ownerless case is an ordinary state. The path is:

builtin notify returns success: false → executeNode throws → runRegion rethrows → the loop node awaits it with no try/catch → the run dies.

Reproduced deterministically in the app's own harness against the real AutomationEngine (five breached cases, the ownerless one third in line):

	run status	summary	flagged	notified
before	failed	{selected: 5, acted: 0}	2 of 5	1

The two cases after the ownerless one were never processed at all. One row with a null lookup cost the other 60% of the sweep, and nothing retried it.

Why this is the platform's to answer, not the app's

The app has fixed its instance by inserting a decision gateway so notify is never reached with an empty audience. That works and it ships. But it is a per-call-site guard, and the general shape it patches is not specific to notify:

• any node that can fail on one row takes down a sweep over all rows;
• the blast radius is invisible at author time — nothing in objectstack validate, build or the flow lint family says "this loop has no containment";
• the damage is silent in the only way that matters: the other rows produce no error of their own. They simply never run.

An app can only defend by hand-writing a predicate in front of every fallible node inside every loop body, for every failure mode that node has. That is not a contract, it is a memory test — and the app's own first draft of exactly such a predicate was wrong (a CEL != '' test is true for ' ', while notify trims before dropping), which is a small demonstration of the point.

The ask

A declared, opt-in per-iteration failure containment on the loop node — continue to the next iteration, record the failure against that iteration, and report it in the run summary rather than aborting the run.

Shape suggestion only; the naming is yours:

{ id: 'loop_cases', type: 'loop', config: { onIterationError: 'continue' | 'abort' } }

with 'abort' the default so nothing changes for existing flows. The run summary already carries selected / acted / skipped (#4354), so failed-iteration counts have a natural home beside them, and a run that partially succeeded stops being indistinguishable from one that died at row 1.

Whether the default should eventually flip is a separate question — for a scheduled sweep "process the rest and tell me what failed" is almost always the intended semantics, and "abort" is the one an author is least likely to have chosen deliberately.

Prior art checked before filing

Searched the flow/loop neighbourhood: #5633, #5383 and #4347 are all about lint and conversion passes failing to descend into loop bodies; #4354 surfaced run summaries; #3712 and #3427 are unrelated trigger/context issues. None covers runtime failure containment inside the loop. If this is a duplicate of something I could not surface, close it against that card.

Downstream reference

objectstack-ai/hotcrm#1405 carries the full reproduction and the per-site workaround the app shipped. A sibling ask covering the narrower half — notify treating an empty audience as a hard failure rather than a recorded skip — is filed separately; this card is the general one and would retire the need for the guard at every call site, not just notify's.

Triage: needs-user-decision + domain:spec + type Feature. 人工地板两条同时命中(功能新增类 · 协议/公开契约变化类)⇒ 恒交维护者,⛔ 分诊不代裁。

⭐ 分诊实测:卡的机制诊断成立,但中心断言很可能不成立

对 origin/main(75b3bdc)读码:

卡上的断言	读数
loop 的 body 无 try/catch,一次迭代抛出即整轮死	✅ 成立。loop-node.ts:128 await engine.runRegion(body, …, {regionKind:'loop-body'}) 裸在 for 里,catch 零命中
"there is no per-iteration containment to opt into"	⚠️ 很可能不成立

平台已有一个声明过的容错构造:try_catch 内建节点(builtin/try-catch-node.ts,ADR-0031 §Decision 3)。它自己的文档写明:

"try exhausts retries, a catch is present and succeeds → the node succeeds (the error was handled)."

而 loop 的 body 是一个经 runRegion 执行的普通区域,try_catch 是可以住在区域里的普通节点。

⇒ loop { body: [ try_catch { try: [...], catch: [...] } ] } 在今天似乎就能达成本卡要的 per-iteration 容错 —— body 区域正常返回、for 继续下一轮。

⚠️ 这是 PM 的机制假设,不是裁决 —— 未实跑,鼓励证伪。 判定它只需一个测试:在 loop 体内放一个必失败节点、用 try_catch 包住,断言 iterations == collection.length 且后续行确实被处理。这个测试的结果决定本卡是哪一张卡,⇒ 应在决策前跑,而不是决策后。

⇒ 决策因此被重新提出(选项变了)

• A. 加新键 loop.config.onIterationError: 'continue' | 'abort'(卡的原提案)—— 契约变化,走条款②契约复审档位;
• B. 不加键:把已有的 loop + try_catch 组合文档化 + lint 化(卡自己已点出缺的是可见性:"nothing in objectstack validate, build or the flow lint family says 'this loop has no containment'")—— 零契约变化;
• C. 先跑上面那个测试,若组合达不成 per-iteration 语义 ⇒ 回到 A,且届时 A 有了实测依据。

四棱分析

棱	读数
实际业务需求	⭐ 拉动是实的、可测的:hotcrm 参考 CRM 的 case_sla_monitor 定时扫描,一行 null owner 让 5 行里的后 2 行从未被处理({selected:5, acted:0},flagged 2/5),且其它行不产生任何错误 —— 静默丢工作。⚠️ 但拉动指向的是容错能力,不是某个新键;若 B 成立,拉动已被现有构造满足。
项目长远合理性	⚠️ 倾向 B。ADR-0031 已经选定 try_catch 作为「low-code 原生错误模型」,并明确是*"surfaced as a construct rather than BPMN boundary events"*。在 loop 上再加一个 onIterationError 键 = 同一件事的第二种表达方式,正是 contract-first 要避免的分叉;两种机制并存后,「这个 loop 到底怎么容错」有两个答案。
防 AI 写错	⚖️ 本棱不同向,是本卡最值得读的一棱。表面上新键对 AI 更友好(一个 token vs 一层嵌套结构)⇒ 轻微偏 A。但真正的防错点不在哪种写法:今天的失败模式是静默的(其余行无错、无痕)。无论 A 还是 B,能防住 AI 的是一道响亮的 lint —— 「loop 体内含可失败节点且无容错 ⇒ 编写期拒绝」。⇒ 该 lint 是两个选项共同的必需件,而它恰恰只在 B 里被当成主体。按「契约收紧优于消费端宽容」「声明即强制」,B + lint 强于 A 无 lint。
创业阶段不扩散需求	⭐ 明确指向 B。对「容错」有实测拉动,对「新键」零拉动 —— 没有任何外部用户具名要求 onIterationError 这个拼写。已有构造能覆盖的情况下新增公开契约面,是标准的能力扩张。

推荐:C → B。 先跑那一个测试(成本极低,结论二值);若组合成立 ⇒ 走 B(文档 + lint,零契约变化,domain:devx 落点);若不成立 ⇒ A 有了实测依据再进契约面。

⚠️ 四棱不同向(防错棱有一个可报点)⇒ ⛔ 不适用代裁,恒交维护者 —— 这也与人工地板的两条独立成立。

domain:spec 按「凡触 packages/spec 一律归 spec 席(唯一所有者)」:A 的落点是 packages/spec/src/automation/control-flow.zod.ts + builtin-node-config.zod.ts。⚠️ 若裁定走 B,落点变成 lint/docs ⇒ 本卡须重路由到 domain:devx —— 路由跟着裁决走,届时由分诊席改标。

#13682(notify 空受众硬失败)是同一根因的窄半边,卡上双方互相点名。若本卡按 B/A 任一方向落地,#13682 的「每个调用点手写 CEL 守卫」需求即消失 —— 两卡的裁决应一并做,⛔ 不要只裁一张。

Measurement: loop + try_catch containment — hypothesis TESTED

Triage's mechanism hypothesis (comment above) is CONFIRMED, with two caveats that are themselves the interesting part of the reading.

Verdict: HOLDS — with caveats. loop { body: [ try_catch { try: [failing], catch: [handler] } ] } gives real per-iteration failure containment on origin/main today. All 5 rows are processed, the run completes, and the contained failure is recorded. What it does not give is run-level visibility or per-row attribution of the failure.

Measured in a throwaway worktree off origin/main @ 43e18f51, against the real AutomationEngine in packages/services/service-automation, with a 5-element collection whose third element fails — the card's own shape (flag always succeeds, notify_owner fails when the owner is null). Command: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-automation exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 src/builtin/zz-measure-13681.test.ts — Test Files 1 passed (1) · Tests 4 passed (4). Nothing was committed or pushed; the source is inline at the bottom.

The four readings

	reading	measured value
(a)	run status	success: true, RunRecord.status = "completed". ⚠️ There is no partial status in the model at all — RunRecord.status is declared `'completed'
(b)	iterations executed	5 of 5. Three independent reads agree: the flow variable each.iterations is 5; the try_catch container node folds to runs: 5; the step log carries five regionKind: 'loop-body' steps tagged iteration: 0,1,2,3,4.
(c)	were elements 4 and 5 processed	Yes. flagged = [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5], notified = [c1,c2,c4,c5] — only the ownerless c3 is missing from the notify list, and it is missing because that is the row that failed, not because the sweep stopped.
(d)	is the contained failure visible in the run summary	Split — and this is the caveat. Run-level: invisible. Per-node: loud.

Reading (d) in full. The run-level counters and the one greppable line say nothing about the failure:

summary = { selected: 5, acted: 9, skipped: 0, unmeasured: 0 }
[automation] run flow=sweep run=run_f53fa3af status=completed durationMs=4 selected=5 acted=9 skipped=0

That is by construction, not by accident: FlowRunSummarySchema (packages/spec/src/automation/execution.zod.ts:198-222) declares selected / acted / skipped / unmeasured / nodes / gates and no run-level failure counter, and formatRunSummaryLine (run-summary.ts:150) has no field to print one. So the #4354 line the card points at as "a natural home beside them" does not currently have that home.

The per-node fold does carry it, precisely — this is the #7546 machinery doing its job:

{ nodeId: 'notify', nodeType: 'notify_owner', status: 'failure', runs: 5, failures: 1, acted: 4 }
{ nodeId: 'flag', nodeType: 'flag', status: 'success', runs: 5, failures: 0, acted: 5 }
{ nodeId: 'onfail', nodeType: 'record_failure', status: 'success', runs: 1, failures: 0 }
{ nodeId: 'guard', nodeType: 'try_catch', status: 'success', runs: 5, failures: 0 }

and the step log keeps the failed attempt with its real error, tagged regionKind: 'try', followed by the catch step. An operator who opens the per-node breakdown sees "notify ran 5 times, failed once". An operator who greps the run line sees a clean green sweep.

Two further gaps inside (d), both small and both real:

• The failing step does not carry the iteration index. loop tags its body region with iteration: i (loop-node.ts:129-132), but try_catch calls runRegion with parentNodeId + regionKind only (try-catch-node.ts:140-147), so the nested try / catch steps inherit no index. Measured step trace: the guard steps carry it: 0..4; the failed notify step carries none. You can infer the row by position relative to the preceding loop-body step, but nothing states it.
• The caught error binds no row identity: $error measured as { nodeId: 'guard', message: "Node 'notify' failed: notify: at least one recipient is required, but every recipient template resolved to nothing: {currentCase.owner}" }. Which case failed is recoverable here only because the message happens to echo the template.

So against the card's ask — "continue to the next iteration, record the failure against that iteration, and report it in the run summary" — today's combination delivers the first clause fully, the second partially (recorded against the node, not the iteration), and the third not at all at run level.

Control run (no try_catch) — the card's claim reproduced

success = false
error = Node 'notify' failed: notify: at least one recipient is required,
 but every recipient template resolved to nothing: {currentCase.owner}
run.status= failed
flagged = ["c1","c2","c3"] notified = ["c1","c2"]
summary = { selected: 5, acted: 0, skipped: 0, unmeasured: 0 }
summary.nodes = [start, query, each] (loop = status 'failure', runs 1, failures 1)
[automation] run flow=sweep ... status=failed selected=5 acted=0 skipped=0

Exactly the card's {selected: 5, acted: 0} with rows 4 and 5 never touched. Worth noting the extra detail the control surfaces: three flags and two notifies really did happen and the summary reports acted: 0 — childSteps are spliced into the run log only after a successful node result (engine.ts:6103-6118, past the throw at :6095), so when the loop node dies its body steps are discarded wholesale. The per-node breakdown does not even list flag or notify. On the failing path the summary under-reports work that was genuinely done.

The near miss: try_catch with no catch does NOT contain

NO-CATCH success = false
NO-CATCH error = Node 'guard' failed: try_catch 'guard': try region failed — Node 'notify' failed: ...
NO-CATCH flagged = ["c1","c2","c3"] notified = ["c1","c2"]

Identical to the control. catch is optional (control-flow.zod.ts:315) and omitting it makes the container fail (try-catch-node.ts:190), which propagates straight back into the loop's bare await. An author who writes try_catch around the fallible node and stops there gets zero containment and no diagnostic saying so. That is a lint target if the decision goes toward option B.

Secondary reading: can the catch region be empty?

No — it must contain at least one node, but edges may be omitted. FlowRegionSchema.nodes is z.array(FlowNodeSchema).min(1) (control-flow.zod.ts:142); edges defaults to [] (:144). Measured against the shipped TryCatchConfigSchema:

spelling	result
catch omitted entirely	parses — but gives no containment (see above)
catch: {}	rejected — catch.nodes: "Invalid input: expected array, received undefined"
catch: { nodes: [] }	rejected — catch.nodes: "Too small: expected array to have >=1 items"
catch: { nodes: [ one node ] }	parses

Minimal catch spelling, verified end to end (not just schema — this exact config ran the full 5-row sweep to success with all 5 flagged):

{
 "id": "guard",
 "type": "try_catch",
 "label": "Guarded",
 "config": {
 "try": { "nodes": [ ... ], "edges": [ ... ] },
 "catch": { "nodes": [ { "id": "handled", "type": "assignment", "label": "Handled" } ] }
 }
}

One bare assignment node with no config at all is the shortest working handler — its descriptor declares no required keys and its executor with no assignments and no config keys sets nothing and returns success. edges omitted, errorVariable omitted (defaults to $error). Three tokens of ceremony: an id, a type, a label (label is required on every node inside a region).

Mechanism, exact cites

• packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/loop-node.ts:123-135 — for (let i = 0; ...) with await engine.runRegion(body, ..., {regionKind:'loop-body'}) at :128, no try/catch anywhere in the file. The card's diagnosis is correct.
• packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/try-catch-node.ts:162-177 — catch region runs, container returns success: true. This is what makes the body region return normally, which is why the bare for loop continues. ADR-0031 §Decision 3, restated at :21-26.
• try-catch-node.ts:190 — no catch (or a catch that itself throws, :178-181) → container fails.
• try-catch-node.ts:109-124, 157 — failed attempts' steps accumulate and ride out on childSteps ([Decision] A failed try_catch try-region produces no step at all — after a caught failure an operator cannot tell what failed, how many attempts ran, or which node threw #7546); this is the whole reason the contained failure is visible per-node at all.
• packages/services/service-automation/src/engine.ts:6103-6118 — childSteps spliced only after a successful node result.
• packages/services/service-automation/src/run-summary.ts:50 (summarizeRun, "worst outcome wins") and :150 (formatRunSummaryLine).
• packages/spec/src/automation/control-flow.zod.ts:142 (region .min(1)), :315 (catch optional).
• packages/spec/src/automation/execution.zod.ts:198-222 (FlowRunSummarySchema — no run-level failure counter).

What this means for the decision (not a ruling)

The central assertion "there is no per-iteration containment to opt into" is falsified: there is one, it works, and it is one nested node. Option A's justification therefore cannot rest on capability. What survives of the card, measured, is a narrower and sharper ask: (1) the containment spelling is undiscoverable and its near-miss form fails silently — a lint/docs problem; (2) a contained failure is invisible at run level and unattributed to a row — a run-summary problem that exists independently of which option is chosen, since option A would need somewhere to report its failed-iteration counts too, and that somewhere does not exist yet.

⚖️ 分支选择 — 测量证实组合成立 ⇒ B 支生效(文档 + lint,⛔ 不加 onIterationError 键)

Director seat, session session_01KGtaLpkW1mycWgkbSb3H6t, executing the conditional ruling above on its named machine input (measurement comment 5478851960: hypothesis HOLDS — 5/5 iterations, elements 4–5 processed, run completes).

B 支的工作范围(由测量结果具体化)

1. 文档:把 loop { try_catch { … } } 作为逐迭代容错的正字拼写写进 flow 教材,含实测出的最小 catch 拼写(catch 不可空 — region nodes 是 .min(1);最短可用 = 一个裸 assignment 节点)。
2. Lint(防错主体,两条):① loop 体内含可失败节点且无容错 ⇒ 编写期响亮警告;② 近失效形必拦 —— try_catch 省略 catch 时容错为零、与无包裹完全同死(实测),这个形状必须在编写期被点名。
3. 可见性半边(附带裁定绑定本卡,⛔ 不另立卡):实测确认被 catch 的失败在运行级摘要中不可见(FlowRunSummarySchema 无失败计数;失败步不带迭代序号;$error 不绑行身份)。此半触及 packages/spec 的摘要契约 ⇒ 实施时按三面三制度拆 PR,spec 半先行,条款②照常在入队闸门判。

状态转移(同笔)

needs-user-decision → pm:queue;同笔挂 pm:retriage —— 分诊在定级评论中已预登记:「若裁定走 B,落点变成 lint/docs ⇒ 本卡须重路由到 domain:devx,由分诊席改标」。⛔ 本席不产 domain:*,改标归分诊,改标前不派发。

顺带观察(另行立卡)

控制组测出一个独立缺陷:loop 中途死亡时 childSteps 只在节点成功后拼接 ⇒ 摘要报 acted: 0,而实际已发生 3 次 flag + 2 次 notify —— 摘要对已发生的工作撒谎。与本卡无依赖,单独立 finding。
