Overview

Enhance the graceful shutdown mechanism to intelligently drain the worker queue instead of immediately rejecting pending tasks.

Current Behavior

During shutdown, queued tasks are immediately rejected and workers are terminated.

Proposed Enhancement

Instead of rejecting tasks, queue all pending Telegram updates and process them before shutting down.

Technical Requirements

Core Features

Queue all pending Telegram updates during shutdown (don't reject them)
Scale up workers temporarily past normal limit to drain queue faster
Process all queued tasks and send replies/edits before exiting
Complete shutdown within Docker's 10-second grace period
- OR document requirement for longer drains

Configuration

Add configuration option for graceful drain vs immediate shutdown
- or similar
- Default to immediate shutdown for safety

Implementation Considerations

Ensure SIGTERM/SIGINT still work correctly
Need to handle case where queue is too large to drain in time
Consider maximum drain timeout (e.g., 8-9 seconds to fit in Docker's 10s)
Test with Docker compose stop/restart scenarios

Use Case

This would be useful in production deployments where you don't want to lose pending regex operations during a deployment or restart.

Notes

More complex than current simple shutdown
Need to balance between completing work and exiting in time
Consider as optional feature, not default behavior

Priority: Low-Medium
Estimated Effort: Medium
Depends on: Worker Pool v2 (issue #14) for dynamic scaling

✅ Implementation Complete

All graceful shutdown enhancement features have been implemented:

Configuration Options Added

GRACEFUL_DRAIN (default: false) - Enable graceful draining during shutdown
GRACEFUL_DRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS (default: 8000, max: 9500) - Max time to drain queue

Implementation Details

Shutdown handler checks CONFIG.GRACEFUL_DRAIN
When enabled: Uses workerPool.shutdown({ drainTasks: true, drainTimeoutMs })
When disabled: Uses immediate shutdown (preserves original behavior)
Timeout defaults to 8s to fit within Docker's 10s grace period
Already integrates with WorkerPoolV2's shutdown scaling (spawns extra workers during drain)

Docker Compatibility

Default timeout (8000ms) fits within Docker's default 10s grace period
Maximum allowed: 9500ms (500ms buffer before SIGKILL)
Can be adjusted via GRACEFUL_DRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS env var

Safety

Defaults to false (immediate shutdown) for safety
Must explicitly enable in production after testing
Graceful drain only triggers during SIGTERM/SIGINT

Tests

All 77 tests passing ✅
Includes existing WorkerPoolV2 drain tests

All requirements implemented. Graceful drain is now available via configuration. Default behavior remains safe (immediate shutdown). Docker-compatible timeout settings included.
