shadowdaoandClaude Opus 5.5 0ce144d2fb fix(api): stop silent clients from wedging the gunicorn thread pool
On 2026-10-09 (sdbees) both :8000 API workers had 7 of 8 gthread pool
threads blocked in tcp_recvmsg -> sk_wait_data; /health and
/api/blocked-ips hung 40s+ while the container reported healthy.

The app makes no in-process outbound socket reads (every ACME/HAProxy
interaction is an already-bounded subprocess). The blocked reads were
gunicorn gthread reading the CLIENT socket: TConn.init() calls
setblocking(True), i.e. timeout None, before parsing the request. Any
peer that sends a few bytes and goes quiet (a TLS ClientHello on this
plain-HTTP port, scanners; :8000 is published on 0.0.0.0) pins a pool
thread forever. gunicorn --timeout does not catch it (gthread only
watches the main thread's heartbeat), --max-requests never triggers on
a worker that finishes nothing, and socket.setdefaulttimeout() is reset
by setblocking(True).

- haproxy_gunicorn_worker.TimeoutThreadWorker (used for :8000 and :8080):
  * per-connection socket timeout HAPROXY_MGR_CLIENT_TIMEOUT (20s),
    re-applied on keep-alive reuse; bounds socket I/O, not handling time
  * watchdog: if every pool thread has been in the same request for more
    than HAPROXY_MGR_WEDGE_SECONDS (1200s, > certbot renew's 900s), dump
    all thread stacks and exit so the master respawns the worker
  * client timeouts logged as one INFO line, not a traceback
- haproxy_manager: socket.setdefaulttimeout (HAPROXY_MGR_SOCKET_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT,
  60s) as defence in depth for any future in-process client; /health now
  reports the answering worker's busy/total threads and oldest request age
- scripts/healthcheck.sh: probes :8000/health (4s) AND :80; image
  HEALTHCHECK uses it (WHP's --health-cmd override must too)
- scripts/test-gunicorn-socket-timeouts.py (12 tests, real gunicorn),
  added to the Docker build gate

# Container entrypoint. Two-phase startup:
# 1. One-shot init (init.py): DB schema, certbot register, config gen, start HAProxy.
# Runs synchronously and to completion so haproxy is up before the API binds.
# 2. WSGI serving via gunicorn (replacing the Flask dev server). Two gunicorn
# instances:
# - port 8080 -> default_app (default page + blocked-ip page; HAProxy
# proxies unmatched / blocked traffic here)
# - port 8000 -> app (management API)
#
# Why gunicorn:
# Flask's built-in werkzeug "development server" is single-threaded and leaks
# workers under sustained load. It carried haproxy-manager for a long time but
# stalled out around 24-48h uptime ("healthy" health-check, but every request
# queued behind a stuck worker). Gunicorn with --max-requests cycles workers
# periodically, which prevents the slow-leak failure mode entirely.

# never overwrite an existing one.
#
# All branches fall back to an empty file if the baked default is somehow
# absent, because "acl ... -f <missing file>" is a fatal HAProxy config
# error -- the list files must exist unconditionally by the time HAProxy starts.
