Run import and cleanup jobs as Fedify tasks

[dahlia]

Use a separate PostgreSQL task queue with four concurrent handlers so large imports and cleanups cannot occupy the federation delivery queue. Job and item records are committed before dispatch. Row locks and persisted retry state let workers recover missed messages without counting an item twice.

Import relationships and saved activities are committed together before enqueueing. Retries reuse activity IDs and skip superseded relationships; cancellation still drains committed deliveries. Cleanup enumeration stores deduplicated batches, while a dispatch window bounds the number of queued items.

Fixes #637.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Import and cleanup jobs now use a dedicated task queue with bounded concurrency and recovery for interrupted or delayed work.
  • Temporary failures are retried, and jobs can be cancelled; cancellation stops new work without undoing completed actions.
  • Import-related activity deliveries are saved and can resume after interruptions.
  • Proxy-cache cleanup processes items in batches and avoids duplicates when resuming.
• Documentation
  • Added upgrade guidance, including stopping older nodes and deploying compatible versions across all nodes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Import and cleanup jobs now run through a dedicated Fedify task queue. The change adds bounded execution, durable retries and recovery, leased item processing, resumable import deliveries, and batched proxy-cache enumeration. Job submission, server shutdown, deployment guidance, and tests are updated.

Changes

Import and cleanup task processing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Job records and migration src/schema.ts, src/relations.ts, drizzle/*/migration.sql, src/background/jobs.test.ts	Job and item records gain dispatch and attempt fields, indexes, and import effect records. Migrations update counters and mark incomplete legacy batches as failed.
Task execution, leases, and recovery src/background/*, src/federation/federation.ts, src/db.ts	A dedicated task queue and job handlers provide bounded processing, item leases, retries, cancellation, dispatch limits, and periodic recovery.
Import processing and durable delivery src/import/*, src/federation/account.ts, src/background/jobs.test.ts	Import payloads are validated and database effects are prepared transactionally. Captured deliveries are stored and resumed under leases; tests cover retries, changed relationships, and cancellation.
Cleanup processing and enumeration src/cleanup/*, src/background/jobs.test.ts	Cleanup items are validated and cancellation-aware. Proxy-cache enumeration inserts deduplicated batches, updates totals from inserted rows, and dispatches each batch.
Server, job submission, and deployment guidance bin/server.ts, src/pages/accounts*, src/pages/thumbnail_cleanup*, src/api/v1/statuses.test.ts, docs/src/content/docs/*/install/*, CHANGES.md	The server starts recovery and drains the task queue during shutdown. Import and cleanup jobs are created transactionally before enqueueing. Deployment docs and changelog describe queue operation and upgrade requirements.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b6d4a

The cleanup change reduces status queries while retaining batch-boundary cancellation checks. No actionable merge-blocking risk is established.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 65491

The reviewed changes preserve account authority and add controls for interrupted work, duplicate execution, and stale relationship deliveries. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Coordinated upgrades and potentially repeated external deliveries remain important operational constraints.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The reviewed authority scope is the single-user instance: imports can change the selected local account's relationships and enqueue activities under its identity, while cleanup can delete matching instance storage objects. Separate queues improve execution containment but do not create separate database or storage security boundaries.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — Uploaded actor handles reach remote actor lookup and relationship processing. Durable execution reconstructs its principal from the persisted job accountOwnerId; the dispatched item must match both job ID and item ID. The task handoff does not directly accept an arbitrary signing principal from the request.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — The documented single-user model and account-list behavior support instance-administrative access rather than tenant-specific login ownership. Account routes retain signed-session authentication, configured second-factor checks, and CSRF middleware. Path-selected account ownership therefore does not establish a new cross-tenant authorization defect in this PR.
• observed — Cleanup validates item data before routing. Proxy-cache deletion accepts only generated hash-shaped keys under proxy/, and thumbnail deletion checks the stored URL against the configured storage URL before deleting.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Lease connection loss invalidates ownership and prevents successful acknowledgement through a reconnected client. External enqueue and database acknowledgement are not atomic, so interruption can repeat delivery using saved activity IDs; recipient-side deduplication is not established by local evidence.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Document and validate a rollback procedure that accounts for saved undelivered import effects and compatible task definitions, and verify repeated-delivery behavior with representative federation peers. These are operational hardening proposals, not observed vulnerabilities.

replacing “清理” with “クリーンアップ” so it matches the terminology used elsewhere.

Review comments at @src/cleanup/processors.ts:
- Line 190: Remove the per-key check() call from the proxy-cache key enumeration
loop in executeCleanupItem. Keep the existing flush checks so cancellation and
lease status are still checked before writes and at each batch boundary.
