feat: Add coordinator log viewer to cluster UI

- Created /api/cluster/logs endpoint to read coordinator.log
- Added real-time log display in cluster UI (updates every 3s)
- Shows last 100 lines of coordinator.log in terminal-style display
- Includes manual refresh button
- Improves debugging experience - no need to SSH for logs

User feedback: 'why dont we add the output of the log at the bottom of the page so i know whats going on'

This addresses poor visibility into coordinator errors and failures.
Next step: Fix SSH timeout issue blocking worker execution.

# Cluster Stop Button Fix - COMPLETE ✅
**Date:** December 1, 2025
**Status:** ✅ DEPLOYED AND VERIFIED
**Commit:** db33af9
---
## Executive Summary
Successfully fixed two critical cluster management issues:
1. **Stop button database reset** - Now works even when coordinator crashed
2. **Stale metrics display** - UI now shows accurate 4-state system
**Key Achievement:** Database-first architecture ensures clean cluster state regardless of process crashes.
---
## Issues Resolved
### Issue #1: Stop Button Appears Broken
**Original Problem:**
- User clicks Stop button
- Button appears to fail (shows error in UI)
- Database still shows chunks as "running"
- Can't restart cluster cleanly
**Root Cause:**
- Database already in stale state BEFORE Stop clicked
- Old logic: pkill processes → wait → reset database
- If coordinator crashed earlier, database never got reset
- Stop button tried to reset but stale data made it look failed
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// NEW ORDER: Database reset FIRST, then pkill
if (action === 'stop') {
// 1. Reset database state FIRST (even if coordinator already gone)
const db = await open({ filename: dbPath, driver: sqlite3.Database })
await db.run(`UPDATE chunks SET status='pending', assigned_worker=NULL, started_at=NULL WHERE status='running'`)
const pendingCount = await db.get(`SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM chunks WHERE status='pending'`)
await db.close()
// 2. THEN try to stop any running processes
const stopCmd = 'pkill -9 -f distributed_coordinator; pkill -9 -f distributed_worker'
try {
await execAsync(stopCmd)
} catch (err) {
console.log('📝 No processes to kill (already stopped)')
}
}
```
**Verification:**
```bash
# Before fix:
curl POST /api/cluster/control '{"action":"stop"}'
# → {"success": false, "error": "sqlite3: not found"}
# After fix:
curl POST /api/cluster/control '{"action":"stop"}'
# → {"success": true, "message": "Cluster stopped and database reset to pending"}
# Database state:
sqlite3 exploration.db "SELECT status, COUNT(*) FROM chunks GROUP BY status;"
# Before: running|3
# After: pending|3 ✅
```
---
### Issue #2: Stale Metrics Display
**Original Problem:**
- UI shows "ACTIVE" status with 3 running chunks
- Progress bar shows 0.00% (no actual work happening)
- Confusing state: looks active but nothing running
- Missing "Idle" state when no work queued
**Root Cause:**
- Coordinator crashed without updating database
- Status API trusts database without verification
- UI only showed 3 states (Processing/Pending/Complete)
- No visual indicator for "no work at all" state
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// UI Enhancement - 4-state display system
{status.exploration.chunks.running > 0 ? (
<span className="text-yellow-400"> Processing</span>
) : status.exploration.chunks.pending > 0 ? (
<span className="text-blue-400"> Pending</span>
) : status.exploration.chunks.completed === status.exploration.chunks.total ? (
<span className="text-green-400"> Complete</span>
) : (
<span className="text-gray-400"> Idle</span> // NEW STATE
)}
// Show pending chunk count
{status.exploration.chunks.pending > 0 && (
<span className="text-gray-400">({status.exploration.chunks.pending} pending)</span>
)}
```
**Verification:**
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3001/api/cluster/status | jq '.exploration'
# After Stop button:
{
"totalCombinations": 4096,
"testedCombinations": 0,
"progress": 0,
"chunks": {
"total": 3,
"completed": 0,
"running": 0, # ✅ Was 3 before fix
"pending": 3 # ✅ Correctly reset
}
}
```
---
## Technical Implementation
### Database Operations Refactor
**Problem:** Original code used sqlite3 CLI commands
```typescript
// ❌ DOESN'T WORK IN DOCKER
const resetCmd = `sqlite3 ${dbPath} "UPDATE chunks SET status='pending'..."`
await execAsync(resetCmd)
// Error: /bin/sh: sqlite3: not found
```
**Solution:** Use Node.js sqlite library
```typescript
// ✅ WORKS IN DOCKER
const db = await open({
filename: dbPath,
driver: sqlite3.Database
})
await db.run(`UPDATE chunks SET status=?, assigned_worker=NULL WHERE status=?`,
['pending', 'running'])
const result = await db.get(`SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM chunks WHERE status=?`,
['pending'])
await db.close()
```
**Why This Matters:**
- Docker container uses node:20-alpine (minimal Linux)
- Alpine doesn't include sqlite3 CLI by default
- Node.js sqlite3 library already installed (used in status API)
- Cleaner code, better error handling, no shell dependencies
---
### File Permissions Fix
**Problem:** Database readonly in container
```
SQLITE_READONLY: attempt to write a readonly database
```
**Root Cause:**
- Database file owned by root (UID 0)
- Container runs as nextjs user (UID 1001)
- SQLite needs write access + directory write for lock files
**Solution:**
```bash
# Fix database file ownership
chown 1001:1001 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster/exploration.db
chmod 664 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster/exploration.db
# Fix directory permissions (for lock files)
chown 1001:1001 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster
chmod 775 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster
# Verification:
ls -la /home/icke/traderv4/cluster/
drwxrwxr-x 4 1001 1001 30 Dec 1 10:02 .
-rw-rw-r-- 1 1001 1001 40960 Dec 1 10:02 exploration.db
```
---
## Deployment Process
### Build & Deploy Steps
1. **Code Changes:**
- Updated control/route.ts with database-first logic
- Enhanced page.tsx with 4-state display
- Replaced sqlite3 CLI with Node.js API
2. **Docker Build:**
```bash
docker compose build trading-bot
# Build time: ~73 seconds
# Image: sha256:7b830abb...
```
3. **Container Restart:**
```bash
docker compose up -d --force-recreate trading-bot
# Container: trading-bot-v4 started successfully
```
4. **Permission Fix:**
```bash
chown 1001:1001 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster/exploration.db
chmod 664 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster/exploration.db
chown 1001:1001 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster
chmod 775 /home/icke/traderv4/cluster
```
5. **Testing:**
```bash
# Test Stop button
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/cluster/control \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"action":"stop"}' | jq .
# Result: {"success": true, "message": "Cluster stopped..."}
```
6. **Verification:**
```bash
# Check database state
sqlite3 exploration.db "SELECT status, COUNT(*) FROM chunks GROUP BY status;"
# Result: pending|3 ✅
# Check status API
curl -s http://localhost:3001/api/cluster/status | jq .exploration
# Result: running=0, pending=3, progress=0% ✅
```
---
## Container Logs
**Stop Button Operation (Successful):**
```
🛑 Stopping cluster...
🔧 Resetting database chunks to pending...
✅ Database cleanup complete - 3 chunks reset to pending (total pending: 3)
📝 No processes to kill (already stopped)
```
**Key Log Messages:**
- `🔧 Resetting database chunks to pending...` - Database operation started
- `✅ Database cleanup complete - 3 chunks reset` - Success confirmation
- Shows count of chunks reset and total pending
- Gracefully handles "no processes to kill" (already crashed scenario)
---
## Testing Results
### Test Case: Stale Database from Coordinator Crash
**Initial State:**
```sql
SELECT status, COUNT(*) FROM chunks GROUP BY status;
-- Result: running|3
```
**Stop Button Action:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/cluster/control \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"action":"stop"}' | jq .
```
**Response:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"message": "Cluster stopped and database reset to pending",
"isRunning": false,
"note": "All processes stopped, chunks reset"
}
```
**Final State:**
```sql
SELECT status, COUNT(*) FROM chunks GROUP BY status;
-- Result: pending|3 ✅
```
**Status API After Stop:**
```json
{
"totalCombinations": 4096,
"testedCombinations": 0,
"progress": 0,
"chunks": {
"total": 3,
"completed": 0,
"running": 0, // Was 3 before
"pending": 3 // Correctly reset
}
}
```
---
## Architecture Decision: Database-First
### Why Database Reset Comes First
**Old Approach (WRONG):**
```
Stop Button → pkill processes → wait → reset database
Problem: If processes already crashed, database never resets
```
**New Approach (CORRECT):**
```
Stop Button → reset database → pkill processes → verify
Benefit: Database always clean regardless of process state
```
**Rationale:**
1. **Idempotency:** Database reset safe to run multiple times
2. **Crash Recovery:** Works even when coordinator already dead
3. **User Intent:** "Stop" means "clean up everything" not just "kill processes"
4. **Restart Readiness:** Fresh database state enables immediate restart
5. **Error Isolation:** Process kill failure doesn't block database cleanup
**Real-World Scenario:**
- Coordinator crashes at 2 AM (out of memory, network issue, etc.)
- Database left with 3 chunks in "running" state
- User wakes up at 9 AM, sees stale "ACTIVE" status
- Clicks Stop button
- OLD: Would fail because processes already gone
- NEW: Succeeds because database reset happens first ✅
---
## Files Changed
### app/api/cluster/control/route.ts (Major Refactor)
**Before:**
```typescript
// Start action - shell command (doesn't work in Docker)
const resetCmd = `sqlite3 ${dbPath} "UPDATE chunks..."`
await execAsync(resetCmd)
// Stop action - pkill first, database second
const stopCmd = 'pkill -9 -f distributed_coordinator'
await execAsync(stopCmd)
// ... then reset database
```
**After:**
```typescript
// Imports added:
import sqlite3 from 'sqlite3'
import { open } from 'sqlite'
// Start action - Node.js API
const db = await open({ filename: dbPath, driver: sqlite3.Database })
await db.run(`UPDATE chunks SET status='pending', assigned_worker=NULL, started_at=NULL WHERE status='running'`)
await db.close()
// Stop action - DATABASE FIRST
// 1. Reset database state
const db = await open({ filename: dbPath, driver: sqlite3.Database })
const result = await db.run(`UPDATE chunks SET status='pending'...`)
const pendingCount = await db.get(`SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM chunks WHERE status='pending'`)
await db.close()
// 2. THEN kill processes
const stopCmd = 'pkill -9 -f distributed_coordinator; pkill -9 -f distributed_worker'
try {
await execAsync(stopCmd)
} catch (err) {
console.log('📝 No processes to kill (already stopped)')
}
```
**Changes:**
- Added sqlite3/sqlite imports (lines 5-6)
- Replaced 3 sqlite3 CLI calls with Node.js API
- Reordered stop logic (database first, pkill second)
- Enhanced error handling and logging
- Added count verification for reset chunks
---
### app/cluster/page.tsx (UI Enhancement)
**Before:**
```typescript
// Only 3 states
{status.exploration.chunks.running > 0 ? (
<span>⚡ Processing</span>
) : status.exploration.chunks.pending > 0 ? (
<span>⏳ Pending</span>
) : (
<span>✅ Complete</span>
)}
```
**After:**
```typescript
// 4 states + pending count display
{status.exploration.chunks.running > 0 ? (
<span className="text-yellow-400">⚡ Processing</span>
) : status.exploration.chunks.pending > 0 ? (
<span className="text-blue-400">⏳ Pending</span>
) : status.exploration.chunks.completed === status.exploration.chunks.total &&
status.exploration.chunks.total > 0 ? (
<span className="text-green-400">✅ Complete</span>
) : (
<span className="text-gray-400">⏸️ Idle</span> // NEW
)}
// Show pending count when present
{status.exploration.chunks.pending > 0 && status.exploration.chunks.running === 0 && (
<span className="text-gray-400 ml-2">({status.exploration.chunks.pending} pending)</span>
)}
```
**Changes:**
- Added 4th state: "⏸️ Idle" (no work queued)
- Shows pending chunk count when work queued but not running
- Better color coding (yellow/blue/green/gray)
- More precise state logic (checks total > 0 for Complete)
---
## Lessons Learned
### 1. Docker Environment Constraints
**Discovery:** Shell commands that work on host may not exist in Docker container
**Example:**
- Host: sqlite3 CLI installed system-wide
- Container: node:20-alpine minimal image (no sqlite3)
- Solution: Use native libraries already in node_modules
**Takeaway:** Always test in target environment (container), not just on host
---
### 2. Database-First Architecture
**Principle:** Critical state cleanup should happen BEFORE process management
**Example:**
- OLD: Kill processes → reset database (fails if processes already dead)
- NEW: Reset database → kill processes (always works)
**Takeaway:** State cleanup operations should be idempotent and order matters
---
### 3. Container User Permissions
**Discovery:** Container runs as UID 1001 (nextjs), not root
**Impact:**
- Files created by root (UID 0) are readonly to container
- SQLite needs write access to both file AND directory (for lock files)
- Permission 644 not enough, need 664 (group write)
**Solution:**
```bash
chown 1001:1001 cluster/exploration.db # Match container user
chmod 664 cluster/exploration.db # Group write
chown 1001:1001 cluster/ # Directory ownership
chmod 775 cluster/ # Directory write for locks
```
**Takeaway:** Always match host file permissions to container user UID
---
### 4. Comprehensive Logging
**Before:** Simple success/failure messages
**After:** Detailed operation flow with counts
```typescript
console.log('🔧 Resetting database chunks to pending...')
console.log(`✅ Database cleanup complete - ${result.changes} chunks reset to pending (total pending: ${pendingCount?.count})`)
console.log('📝 No processes to kill (already stopped)')
```
**Benefits:**
- User sees exactly what happened
- Debugging issues easier (know which step failed)
- Confirms operation success with verification counts
- Distinguishes between "no processes found" vs "kill failed"
**Takeaway:** Verbose logging in infrastructure operations pays off during troubleshooting
---
## Future Enhancements
### 1. Automatic Permission Handling
**Current:** Manual chown/chmod required for database
**Proposed:** Docker entrypoint script that fixes permissions on startup
```bash
#!/bin/sh
# Fix cluster directory permissions
chown -R nextjs:nodejs /app/cluster
chmod -R u+rw,g+rw /app/cluster
exec "$@"
```
---
### 2. Database Lock File Cleanup
**Current:** SQLite may leave lock files on crash
**Proposed:** Check for stale lock files on Stop
```typescript
// In stop action:
const lockFiles = fs.readdirSync(clusterDir).filter(f => f.includes('.db-'))
if (lockFiles.length > 0) {
console.log(`🗑️ Removing ${lockFiles.length} stale lock files`)
lockFiles.forEach(f => fs.unlinkSync(path.join(clusterDir, f)))
}
```
---
### 3. Status API Health Checks
**Current:** Status API trusts database without verification
**Proposed:** Cross-check process existence
```typescript
// In status API:
if (runningChunks > 0) {
const psOutput = await execAsync('ps aux | grep -c "[d]istributed_coordinator"')
const processCount = parseInt(psOutput.stdout)
if (processCount === 0) {
console.warn('⚠️ Database shows running chunks but no coordinator process!')
// Auto-fix: Reset database to pending
}
}
```
---
