feat(cli): gflow cancel <id> - local abort, honest about server-side cancel (#1198) - #1214
Stacked on #1208: merge that first; until then this diff includes #1208's commits. The commits from #1208 here are b002648a through 49445c33, which add the charged, next_action and operation_id members this PR uses.
gflow cancel <id> [--json] aborts a job locally. It uses two verbs on purpose: abort is local (gflow drops a queued job or stops waiting for it), and cancel is server-side, which gflow cannot do. The output never claims Flow stopped anything.

status: fail + RFC 9457 problem details
One shared function.worker.queue.abort_task(repo, task_id) is the abort, used by both gflow cancel and MCP tasks/cancel. It reads and writes in one BEGIN IMMEDIATE. A worker re-reads its row in the same kind of transaction at its submit_attempted checkpoint (checkpoint_before_submit), so the two cannot interleave: cancelled means nothing was submitted. cancelled/abandoned are sticky. A worker that finishes later records its catalog entry and flow_media_id, but cannot flip the row, so tasks/get keeps answering cancelled (SEP-2663). tasks/cancel additionally stops a job running in its own server, after the abort.
Behaviour change in tasks/cancel (CHANGELOG ### Changed): a not-yet-submitted task is stored cancelled (it used to be failed with reason: cancelled), and a submitted one is stored abandoned (it used to be indeterminate, or left as it was when another process ran it).
Schema change: migration 0010
The queue had pending | processing | completed | failed | indeterminate, with no cancelled or abandoned. 0010_queue_abort_states.sql rebuilds generation_queue the way 0009 did (create, copy, drop, rename), because SQLite cannot alter a CHECK. Unlike 0009 it copies all 12 columns. A new test builds a DB at 0009 with a claimed, checkpointed row, upgrades it, and asserts the row comes back identical and that abandoned is accepted. doctor counts only processing rows as stuck, so an abandoned row is no longer reported as stuck.
Predict: the five-persona /gflow:predict was not run as a parallel council. I reviewed it inline with an independent reviewer, and the verdict is CAUTION. The risks it raised are each addressed above: the table rebuild on user DBs (all columns copied, tested), worker overwrite (decided and pinned), the MCP semantics change (documented under Changed), and the pending-row race in tasks/cancel (found and fixed in a follow-up commit, test watched red).
Exit code: 22, and why
The issue asks for "the capability-unavailable code"; #1202 is redesigning exit codes, so I did not invent one. In EXIT_CODE_MAP:
22 UpscaleUnavailableError: "this capability is not available here; MUST NOT auto-retry". It is the oldest generic "unavailable" code, non-retryable, and nothing catches it. Chosen.
35 ExtendUnavailableError: the same meaning, but extend-specific and a tier gate.
36 FlowHostMigratedError: means "this host's frontend is not ported". It is caught in api/client.py and drivers/factory.py for host fallback, so reusing it would be untrue and risky.
39 FlowAccessUnavailableError: no Flow entitlement; a different meaning.
28 UiModeUnavailableError: retryable, so resolved_next_action would rewrite reconcile.
I added ServerCancelUnavailableError, a direct GFlowError subclass with its own type URI (https://gflow-cli.dev/errors/server-cancel-unavailable), charged = "maybe" and next_action = "reconcile", mapped to the existing 22. Its type URI stays truthful, it does not falsely satisfy isinstance(..., UpscaleUnavailableError), and it follows the DataStoreError family's precedent of several classes sharing one code. Listed in docs/ERRORS.md. Owner call: if you would rather have 35, 36 or 39, it is a one-line map change.
MCP parity
cancel is recorded in _MCP_EXEMPT as "twin is the MCP protocol method tasks/cancel (same abort_task, #1198)". That is the same convention #1206 uses for capabilities ↔ capabilities://self. The mapping is held by test, not by prose: tests/worker/test_abort.py covers the function, and tests/mcp/test_wait_false_runs.py::test_cancel_of_a_row_nobody_runs_here_uses_the_shared_abort plus test_a_pending_job_this_server_holds_is_stored_cancelled cover the MCP side. The wait parameter description in mcp/tools.py now names abandoned and the CLI twin.
Overlaps: what each open PR needs once both land
feat: gflow capabilities and MCP capabilities://self (#1197) #1206 (capabilities). In cli_capabilities.py, the abort.local note says "No cancel <id> yet (CLI: gflow cancel <id> (local abort; honest about server-side cancel) #1198)": drop that clause and add gflow cancel <id> to the note. The value can move from partial to yes only if Ctrl-C, tasks/cancel and cancel together are judged complete; I'd keep partial, because a wait in another process cannot be stopped. cancel.server stays no. Its guard test ("fails when status, wait, cancel … are added without a capability entry") will want cancel mapped to abort.local. Also update the CAPABILITIES.md row for abort.local.
feat(cli): --help --json machine-readable command tree (#1203) #1210 (--help --json). Decorate cancel with @spends_credits(False), since it sends nothing to Flow. Add "cancel": False to EXPECTED_TREE in tests/cli/test_help_json.py. test_every_command_appears_in_docs is already satisfied by the new ## gflow cancel section in docs/USAGE.md.
Docs
USAGE (new gflow cancel section), MCP.md (tasks/cancel semantics), ERRORS.md (new row), KNOWN_ISSUES.md (the killed-server paragraph now names gflow cancel and abandoned), AGENTS.md (command surface + module list), skills/gflow-cli/SKILL.md → plugin copy regenerated, llms.txt, CHANGELOG [Unreleased] (Added + Changed), and the website/docs/ mirror regenerated.
Tests watched red → green
tests/worker/test_abort.py: red on collection (ImportError: abort_task), then green. Covers the three states, an unknown id, and a late worker write.
tests/mcp/test_tasks_extension.py::test_tasks_extension_cancel_task and test_wait_false_runs.py::test_cancel_of_a_row_nobody_runs_here_uses_the_shared_abort: red on assertion ('failed' != 'cancelled'), then green after the refactor.

tests/data/test_store_migrations.py: the migration list now pins 0010, and the new row-survival test was written after the migration.
Gates (Impeccable Routine, PYTHONUTF8=1, on the final tree rebased onto 49445c33)
All ten pass: the six scripts/ci checks, ruff check, ruff format --check, pyright src (0 errors), and pytest -m "not live and not e2e and not smoke" -n 8 --dist worksteal --cov=gflow_cli, with 6454 passed, 30 skipped, 0 failed, coverage 93%. The cancel/queue/MCP suites also pass under pytest --sharpit (sharpit 0.4.0, the CI pin). I did the step 1b sweep across all six axes.
E2E
No Flow surface is involved.cancel reads and writes only the local queue and sends nothing to Flow. Two $0 runs exercise the real surfaces, and both now run in CI:
tests/test_cli_cancel_subprocess.py: the real python -m gflow_cli cancel <id> --json against a temporary GFLOW_CLI_HOME, with one seeded row per state, including a second cancel;
tests/mcp/test_tasks_extension.py::test_tasks_cancel_then_get_on_the_wire_per_state: the MCP twin through a real in-memory client, in both protocol eras.
The submit gate is covered by a real FlowWorker with a fake client (tests/worker/test_daemon.py).
Rebase note:#1208's 55c299cc changed the cancel-before-run record to carry outcome_members("no", "none"). That conflicted with this refactor, so both abort envelopes in worker/queue.py now use outcome_members (adding retryable), and the #1208 assertion (charged/next_action/retryable = no/none/False) is kept in test_tasks_extension_cancel_task against the new cancelled status.
sharpit flagged an N+1 on the first push (4 cancel tests: abort_task re-read a row the handler had just read). It is fixed in fix(cancel): read each queue row once…, and the 4 tests now pass locally under pytest --sharpit (sharpit 0.4.0, the CI pin).
All fixed in feat(cli): gflow cancel <id>…. I squashed the branch to one commit so the conflict with #1208's bf242f7e (it added CANCELLED_ERROR and changed the same tasks/cancel lines) could be resolved once, against the final code. The pre-squash history is kept on the local branch backup/1198-pre-squash.
Fixed
Race (must fix).abort_task now reads and writes in one BEGIN IMMEDIATE, with exactly one SELECT. test_a_claim_racing_the_abort_is_not_missed[submit=False|True] fires a claim from a second connection just as the abort's transaction starts. The old code left the row processing there (reproduced first in a script); the new code gives cancelled / abandoned.
Second cancel of abandoned. The CLI branches on outcome.state == "abandoned" and passes outcome.previous. A second cancel exits 22 again with charged: maybe / next_action: reconcile. USAGE (and its mirror) now puts abandoned with the submitted row, not "finished".
SEP-2663 sticky cancelled. In update_task_status, cancelled/abandoned keep their status and record (a CASE in the UPDATE); a late flow_media_id still lands (COALESCE). So tasks/get stays cancelled, and no completed row carries a stale abort error (it never becomes completed). The real outcome is still recorded where CLI: gflow reconcile <id> settles one unknown outcome #1199 can find it: the daemon records assets/operations in the catalog before its final queue write, independently of the row. test_a_job_abandoned_after_submit_still_records_its_media_for_reconcile runs a real FlowWorker with a fake client, aborts after submit, and asserts the row stays abandoned with flow_media_id, and the asset is found by get_asset_by_flow_media_id.
Stop the claimed-but-not-submitted case (root fix).QueueRepository.checkpoint_before_submit writes the submit_attempted checkpoint in one BEGIN IMMEDIATE, unless the row is cancelled/abandoned. The worker's observer, which fires just before the credit gesture on every worker generation path (generate_image, generate_images_batch, generate_video), raises the new TaskCancelledError when the gate refuses. Because the abort and the gate share the lock, abort_task decides from the checkpoint:
not submitted: cancelled, charged: no, exit 0;
submitted: abandoned, maybe, exit 22.
Tested both ways in test_daemon.py (the fake records whether the gesture happened). The wording in cli_cancel.py, errors.py, queue.py, mcp/tools.py (wait description), tasks_extension.py, USAGE, MCP.md, KNOWN_ISSUES, CHANGELOG, llms.txt, AGENTS.md and SKILL.md now says "a gflow worker had already submitted it; Flow cannot cancel it", never "Flow accepted".
Recovery paths. With (3) the decision comes out the other way from the review's suggestion. abandoned/cancelled are terminal and sticky, and their charged is exact, because the gate and the abort share one lock. So mark_interrupted, recover_processing and _settle_unfinished leave them as they are (test_recovery_after_a_crash_leaves_an_aborted_row_as_it_is). Not done: a doctor finding. Doctor does not flag indeterminate rows either. A "rows that need reconcile" finding belongs with CLI: gflow reconcile <id> settles one unknown outcome #1199, which gives it an action.
Shared error handler.gflow cancel runs through run_with_handlers. An unknown id raises the new TaskNotFoundError (exit 1, status: fail, full problem details), and a store failure is JSON with exit 16 (tested). The hand-built 404 is gone.
Envelopes.
abandoned stores ServerCancelUnavailableError's problem details.
TaskCancelledError and TaskNotFoundError have rows in the class table.
MCP twin.tasks/cancel now aborts first and then stops its own job, so it stores the same state as the CLI whichever server runs the job (in-process post-submit now reads abandoned, not indeterminate). tasks/get reports the charge in statusMessage ("nothing was charged" / "may still run and be charged"). The parity exemption is reworded to say exactly that: the CLI --json carries the charged/next_action members and tasks/get does not. I didn't add them to the SEP-2663 reply, to keep it spec-shaped. The $0 twin run is test_tasks_cancel_then_get_on_the_wire_per_state[legacy|2026-07-28]: a real in-memory MCP client, seeded rows, tasks/cancel + tasks/get for queued, claimed-not-submitted, submitted (including its worker finishing afterwards) and finished.
CI-visible subprocess test. It moved from tests/e2e/test_cancel_e2e.py (tagged e2e_auth, which CI never runs) to tests/test_cli_cancel_subprocess.py, offline, with no markers.
Cleanup.
The tasks_extension.py comment now says shutdown drains still write failed + reason cancelled.
The errors.pyUpscaleUnavailableError docstring now says 22 is shared.
ServerCancelUnavailableError no longer cites gflow capabilities.
The 0010 migration test uses monkeypatch.context() instead of undo().
The USAGE jq example quotes ."cancel.server".
Not changed (kept by instruction): the dotted "cancel.server" key, exit 22 and the new class.
CodeRabbit: 3 inline comments, all on #1208's bf242f7e (ui_automation_video.py, chain.py, storage.py). I replied on each thread and handed them to #1208, which fixed them in 49445c33; this PR is rebased onto that. No comments on #1214's own diff.
Sonar: S7503 (an async wrapper with no await in cli_cancel.py) is fixed by running the queue abort through asyncio.to_thread.
CodeRabbit, second pass (4520363800, Major, on cli_cancel.py): "stop the local worker wait after abandonment".
Wording: fixed in b43da657. "gflow stopped waiting" was false for a worker in another process. The output, remediation, help, USAGE and CHANGELOG now say the row is marked abandoned and that a worker still running the job keeps polling to record the result. The new test failed first on the old text.
Cross-process stop: declined. That worker is what records the media id and catalog asset for reconcile (CLI: gflow reconcile <id> settles one unknown outcome #1199), which test_a_job_abandoned_after_submit_still_records_its_media_for_reconcile pins. A job not yet submitted is stopped at the submit gate.
…m details
Every error envelope (CLI --json, MCP results, worker queue) now says whether
Flow may have billed the failed operation and what a caller should do next.
Each class in EXIT_CODE_MAP declares its own defaults; raise sites may
override them. next_action is reconciled with is_retryable at emit time, so
the two never disagree, including after a post-construction retryable flip.
A non-retryable MediaDownloadError (a billed clip, #941) reads charged: yes,
next_action: reconcile, with its media id as operation_id.
docs/ERRORS.md lists every type URI, its exit code and these defaults; a
test keeps the table in step with the code.
Closes#1201
…e members
Review follow-up for #1201:
- Billed paths no longer read charged: no. A failed asset write, any chain
error after a completed link, and an extend render failure after billed
segments read reconcile; ChainPartialError reads yes only with completed
links; MediaAttributionError defaults to maybe.
- Sites that provably submitted nothing read no (the extend editor guard,
the /about landing as reauth, both balance reads); the labs poll timeout
after submit reads reconcile with the media id.
- Every GFlowError subclass declares its own defaults (ProfileLockedError
is wait, the batch errors reconcile), and class defaults must agree with
RETRYABLE_ERRORS.
- Hand-built MCP and worker envelopes, the task fallback and the
cancel-before-run record carry charged, next_action and retryable through
one helper; result-shaped --json failures carry charged and next_action.
- RateLimitError emits retry_after; docs/ERRORS.md lists the hand-built
URIs and tests compare its rows to what the code emits; the MCP.md
paragraph no longer splits a sentence.
This pull request adds gflow cancel and updates MCP cancellation to use shared queue-abort logic. It distinguishes cancellation before Flow submission from abandonment after submission. It also adds charge and next-action fields to error reporting and reconciliation details to video and chain failures.

Summary
Queue abort states and submit gate src/gflow_cli/data/migrations/*, src/gflow_cli/worker/queue.py, src/gflow_cli/worker/daemon.py, tests/worker/*, tests/data/test_store_migrations.py
Migration 0010 adds cancelled and abandoned queue states. The shared abort operation and worker pre-submit checkpoint distinguish cancellation before submission from abandonment after submission. Later worker writes preserve the abort state while recording media information.
The new CLI command and MCP tasks/cancel use the shared abort path. The CLI reports state, charge status, and exit codes. MCP maps cancelled and abandoned queue states to cancelled task status and stops a locally detached job when present. Documentation describes these outcomes.
Error classes and envelopes include charge status and next action, with optional operation IDs and retry delays. Tests check these fields and their consistency with retryability. The error reference documents class defaults and envelope forms.
Video and chain reconciliation details src/gflow_cli/api/*, src/gflow_cli/chain.py, src/gflow_cli/cli_video.py, src/gflow_cli/storage.py, tests/api/*, tests/cli/test_cli_video_extend.py, tests/test_charged_surfaces.py
Video polling and chain failures include reconciliation details and operation IDs where available. Extend failures report charge status and can print a scene rerender command. Tests cover partial completion, polling timeouts, and rendering failures.

Explanation
#1198 requires a local abort command with distinct outcomes before and after submission, terminal-state no-ops, and shared CLI/MCP semantics. The PR adds gflow cancel, uses the shared abort_task path, coordinates aborts with the submit checkpoint, and preserves cancelled and abandoned states. Its tests cover queue states, races, later worker writes, and MCP parity. The command reports possible charges and reconciliation for submitted work.

… every queue record
Defects found reviewing the stacked #1214, all in #1201 code:
- video extend: a run that spent credits reads charged: yes even when no
segment finished, and carries the submitted segment's media id as
operation_id (run_extend_chain stamps it on a failed poll).
- video extend --output: the whole render step after billed segments is
covered (scene read-back, concat inputs, render), and its hint is a
runnable `gflow scene create --project <id> <clip refs> --output <path>`.
- worker: a video Flow reports failed reads maybe/reconcile with its media
id, the same as CLI video_result.
- labs t2v/i2v poll: the post-submit deadline raises TransportTimeoutError
(maybe/reconcile, media id) instead of a builtin TimeoutError that
surfaced as an unclassified error.
- video chain: an untyped error after billed links is wrapped in
ChainPartialError, which lists completed_media_ids; a typed one carries
the last completed link as operation_id.
- queue: a cancel before submit reads `none` at any pre-submit phase; the
cancelled, indeterminate and daemon-recovery records carry a type URI and
no invented HTTP status.

…e is fixable
CodeRabbit follow-ups on bf242f7:
- chain: a later link's error keeps its own operation_id (an in-flight
poll timeout names the link being generated); only an error with none
gets the last completed link's id.
- storage: write_asset_async takes charged/next_action (default
maybe/reconcile for an asset Flow made); concatenate_scene passes
no/fix_input, since a scene render spends nothing.
- labs poll docstring names the TransportTimeoutError it now raises.
…er-side cancel
One local abort, worker.queue.abort_task, behind gflow cancel and MCP
tasks/cancel. It reads and writes the row in one BEGIN IMMEDIATE:
pending, or claimed but not submitted -> cancelled (nothing charged; a
worker re-reads its row at the submit gate and stops); submitted ->
abandoned (Flow cannot cancel it, charged: maybe, exit 22,
ServerCancelUnavailableError, next_action: reconcile). Finished jobs
are left as they are. cancelled/abandoned are sticky, so tasks/get
keeps answering cancelled while a late worker still records its media.
Migration 0010 adds the two states. Unknown ids are TaskNotFoundError;
the command runs through run_with_handlers. Docs, CHANGELOG, a
subprocess test CI runs, and a wire test of the MCP twin.

Stop submission when the submit gate fails.
If cancellation marks the row cancelled before the gate or its fallback write, a datastore exception can bypass the status check. The worker can then submit to Flow even though cancellation reports charged: no. Propagate the gate failure instead.
Suggested fix
- # Same observer policy as save_checkpoint: a DB fault never blocks a submit.+ # A failed gate must stop submission because cancellation may have won.

checkpoint_before_submit so a gate exception is logged and then propagated,
preventing execution from continuing to submit the task to Flow. Keep the
existing cancellation handling when the gate returns false.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Move the independent video-chain, video polling, transport, and storage behavior
changes and their tests to the PR that owns those objectives, or remove them.
Retain shared error-envelope changes that the cancellation command requires.
- Docstring Coverage:
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage
threshold.

Stop the local worker wait after abandonment
When gflow cancel abandons a submitted wait=false job, the worker can continue polling while holding the profile lock. Other jobs on that profile in the same server must wait. Both text output and the JSON remediation say waiting stopped.
Add cross-process coordination so the worker stops its local wait and releases the lock. Preserve identifiers for reconciliation; Flow may still run and charge for the generation.

Review comment at @src/gflow_cli/cli_cancel.py around lines 49 - 57:
Update the cancellation flow around _abort and _report so abandoning a submitted
wait=false job signals its local worker across processes to stop polling and
release the profile lock. Preserve the job’s identifiers for reconciliation, and
do not imply that the underlying Flow execution has stopped or cannot incur
charges.

Partly fixed in b43da657; the rest is declined on purpose.
Fixed: the wording. "gflow stopped waiting" was false for a worker in another process. The plain output, the ServerCancelUnavailableError remediation and docstring, the help text, USAGE and the CHANGELOG now say the row is marked abandoned and that a worker still running the job keeps polling to record the result. test_an_abandoned_job_is_not_described_as_no_longer_waited_for failed first on the old text, then passed.
Declined: stopping that worker across processes. The polling worker is what records the media id and the catalog asset that reconcile (#1199) needs. tests/worker/test_daemon.py::test_a_job_abandoned_after_submit_still_records_its_media_for_reconcile pins that behaviour. Stopping it would throw that outcome away while Flow may still charge for it. It holds the profile lease only until the generation ends, which is the same cost as any running job. A job that had not been submitted yet is stopped: it hits the submit gate (checkpoint_before_submit) and becomes cancelled. An in-process MCP job is also stopped by tasks/cancel.

@ffroliva Thanks for correcting the wording and explaining the trade-off. Keeping the worker running lets it record the result for reconciliation, while it continues to hold the profile lock.
I accept the decision not to add cross-process cancellation.
If you found this review helpful, would you consider giving us a shout-out on X?
A worker in another process keeps polling a job it already submitted, so
its result is still recorded for reconcile; the output, the remediation
and the docs said the opposite (CodeRabbit on #1214).

…ne database
Ubuntu 24.04's tzdata 2026e moves backward links (Atlantic/Faeroe, Portugal,
Eire, Iceland, Poland) into tzdata-legacy, which the CI runners do not install.
ZoneInfo then refuses the alias, consent_region() fails closed, and the
Atlantic/Faeroe row (expected False) went red on every PR, develop included;
the three legacy rows expecting True passed for the wrong reason.
The mapping test now stubs the zone lookup, so every row checks the
name-to-region mapping on any machine. A separate test pins the fail-closed
behaviour for an alias the installed zone database cannot load.
(cherry picked from commit 9f356c9)
CI note: this branch now carries a cherry-pick (-x) of #1215's test-only commit 9f356c9d. CI on every PR, develop included, was failing on test_consent_region_from_iana_timezone[Atlantic/Faeroe-False], because Ubuntu 24.04's tzdata 2026e moved legacy zone links into tzdata-legacy. That failure also left SonarCloud's new-code coverage at 0%. The commit is identical to #1215's, so git drops it as a duplicate when #1215 merges first.

Summary
gflow cancel <id> [--json]aborts a job locally. It uses two verbs on purpose: abort is local (gflow drops a queued job or stops waiting for it), and cancel is server-side, which gflow cannot do. The output never claims Flow stopped anything.--jsonpending, orprocessingnot yet submittedcancelled; a worker that claimed it stops at its submit gate; nothing chargedstate: cancelled,charged: noprocessingpast its submit checkpoint, or alreadyabandonedabandoned; Flow cannot cancel it, so it may keep running and be chargedstate: abandoned,"cancel.server": "no",charged: maybe,next_action: reconcile, plus the full problem details undererror(operation_id= task id)cancelledstate: <state>TaskNotFoundErrorstatus: fail+ RFC 9457 problem detailsOne shared function.
worker.queue.abort_task(repo, task_id)is the abort, used by bothgflow canceland MCPtasks/cancel. It reads and writes in oneBEGIN IMMEDIATE. A worker re-reads its row in the same kind of transaction at itssubmit_attemptedcheckpoint (checkpoint_before_submit), so the two cannot interleave:cancelledmeans nothing was submitted.cancelled/abandonedare sticky. A worker that finishes later records its catalog entry andflow_media_id, but cannot flip the row, sotasks/getkeeps answeringcancelled(SEP-2663).tasks/canceladditionally stops a job running in its own server, after the abort.Behaviour change in

/gflow:predictwas not run as a parallel council. I reviewed it inline with an independent reviewer, and the verdict is CAUTION. The risks it raised are each addressed above: the table rebuild on user DBs (all columns copied, tested), worker overwrite (decided and pinned), the MCP semantics change (documented under Changed), and the pending-row race intasks/cancel(found and fixed in a follow-up commit, test watched red).Exit code: 22, and why
The issue asks for "the capability-unavailable code"; #1202 is redesigning exit codes, so I did not invent one. In
EXIT_CODE_MAP:UpscaleUnavailableError: "this capability is not available here; MUST NOT auto-retry". It is the oldest generic "unavailable" code, non-retryable, and nothing catches it. Chosen.ExtendUnavailableError: the same meaning, but extend-specific and a tier gate.FlowHostMigratedError: means "this host's frontend is not ported". It is caught inapi/client.pyanddrivers/factory.pyfor host fallback, so reusing it would be untrue and risky.FlowAccessUnavailableError: no Flow entitlement; a different meaning.UiModeUnavailableError: retryable, soresolved_next_actionwould rewritereconcile.I added
ServerCancelUnavailableError, a directGFlowErrorsubclass with its owntypeURI (https://gflow-cli.dev/errors/server-cancel-unavailable),charged = "maybe"andnext_action = "reconcile", mapped to the existing 22. Its type URI stays truthful, it does not falsely satisfyisinstance(..., UpscaleUnavailableError), and it follows theDataStoreErrorfamily's precedent of several classes sharing one code. Listed indocs/ERRORS.md. Owner call: if you would rather have 35, 36 or 39, it is a one-line map change.MCP parity
cancelis recorded in_MCP_EXEMPTas "twin is the MCP protocol method tasks/cancel (same abort_task, #1198)". That is the same convention #1206 uses forcapabilities↔capabilities://self. The mapping is held by test, not by prose:tests/worker/test_abort.pycovers the function, andtests/mcp/test_wait_false_runs.py::test_cancel_of_a_row_nobody_runs_here_uses_the_shared_abortplustest_a_pending_job_this_server_holds_is_stored_cancelledcover the MCP side.

No Flow surface is involved.

tests/test_telemetry_notice.py::test_consent_region_from_iana_timezone[Atlantic/Faeroe-False]: known, fixed by the separate tz PR (test(telemetry): tz region test no longer depends on the runner's zone database #1215). Ubuntu 24.04's tzdata 2026e moved legacy links intotzdata-legacy, and the same failure reproduces on a develop-identical docs PR (docs(roadmap): replace the v0.9–v0.11 roadmap with current themes #1207).

feat(cli): gflow cancel <id>…. I squashed the branch to one commit so the conflict with #1208'sbf242f7e(it addedCANCELLED_ERRORand changed the sametasks/cancellines) could be resolved once, against the final code. The pre-squash history is kept on the local branchbackup/1198-pre-squash.Fixed
Race (must fix).
abort_tasknow reads and writes in oneBEGIN IMMEDIATE, with exactly one SELECT.test_a_claim_racing_the_abort_is_not_missed[submit=False|True]fires a claim from a second connection just as the abort's transaction starts. The old code left the rowprocessingthere (reproduced first in a script); the new code givescancelled/abandoned.Second cancel of
abandoned. The CLI branches onoutcome.state == "abandoned"and passesoutcome.previous. A second cancel exits 22 again withcharged: maybe/next_action: reconcile. USAGE (and its mirror) now putsabandonedwith the submitted row, not "finished".SEP-2663 sticky
cancelled. Inupdate_task_status,cancelled/abandonedkeep their status and record (aCASEin the UPDATE); a lateflow_media_idstill lands (COALESCE). Sotasks/getstayscancelled, and no completed row carries a stale abort error (it never becomescompleted). The real outcome is still recorded where CLI: gflow reconcile <id> settles one unknown outcome #1199 can find it: the daemon records assets/operations in the catalog before its final queue write, independently of the row.test_a_job_abandoned_after_submit_still_records_its_media_for_reconcileruns a realFlowWorkerwith a fake client, aborts after submit, and asserts the row staysabandonedwithflow_media_id, and the asset is found byget_asset_by_flow_media_id.Stop the claimed-but-not-submitted case (root fix).
QueueRepository.checkpoint_before_submitwrites thesubmit_attemptedcheckpoint in oneBEGIN IMMEDIATE, unless the row iscancelled/abandoned. The worker's observer, which fires just before the credit gesture on every worker generation path (generate_image,generate_images_batch,generate_video), raises the newTaskCancelledErrorwhen the gate refuses. Because the abort and the gate share the lock,abort_taskdecides from the checkpoint:cancelled,charged: no, exit 0;abandoned,maybe, exit 22.Tested both ways in
test_daemon.py(the fake records whether the gesture happened). The wording incli_cancel.py,errors.py,queue.py,mcp/tools.py(waitdescription),tasks_extension.py, USAGE, MCP.md, KNOWN_ISSUES, CHANGELOG, llms.txt, AGENTS.md and SKILL.md now says "a gflow worker had already submitted it; Flow cannot cancel it", never "Flow accepted".Recovery paths. With (3) the decision comes out the other way from the review's suggestion.
abandoned/cancelledare terminal and sticky, and theirchargedis exact, because the gate and the abort share one lock. Somark_interrupted,recover_processingand_settle_unfinishedleave them as they are (test_recovery_after_a_crash_leaves_an_aborted_row_as_it_is). Not done: a doctor finding. Doctor does not flagindeterminaterows either. A "rows that need reconcile" finding belongs with CLI: gflow reconcile <id> settles one unknown outcome #1199, which gives it an action.Shared error handler.
gflow cancelruns throughrun_with_handlers. An unknown id raises the newTaskNotFoundError(exit 1,status: fail, full problem details), and a store failure is JSON with exit 16 (tested). The hand-built 404 is gone.Envelopes.

tasks/cancelnow aborts first and then stops its own job, so it stores the same state as the CLI whichever server runs the job (in-process post-submit now readsabandoned, notindeterminate).tasks/getreports the charge instatusMessage("nothing was charged" / "may still run and be charged").
