Server can push work hints over SSE so the runner picks up jobs faster

The runner can hold a live server connection and wake instantly on work, but it defaults off.

What probably matters to youSection of the release

Server-pushed work_available hints over SSE sit behind CCR_SHR_SSE_HINTS, off by default, and nothing else in the build enables it.

What

Set CCR_SHR_SSE_HINTS and the runner holds an event-stream connection to the server and wakes its poll loop as soon as a work_available event arrives, instead of waiting out the full poll interval. It defaults to off, and nothing else in the build turns it on.

Details
  • Wakes are jittered by up to 200ms to spread out a fleet reacting to the same event, and the wake source is reported back to the server.
  • The stream times out after 45 seconds without a read and reconnects with exponential backoff capped at 30 seconds.
  • Wakes are suppressed while the runner is already at capacity.
