Extends the existing CheckIn RPC with a one-shot AgentCommand (restart only -- stop/uninstall need real per-platform OS service-manager integration and stay deliberately out of scope), delivered at-most-once: cleared the instant it's handed to the agent in a response, since a restarting agent's process is gone before it could ever confirm receipt. On restart, the agent flushes whatever's buffered, aborts its source task, and exits cleanly, relying entirely on the host's own service manager to bring it back up. Issuing a command is gated at RoleAdmin (stricter than config editing's RoleEditor) and logged into the same audit_log table Phase 7's AI interactions use, via a new agent_command event type. A real bug was found and fixed during live verification: the first implementation tried to atomically read-and-clear pending_command in a single INSERT...ON CONFLICT statement using a sibling CTE referenced only from RETURNING, on the assumption that Postgres evaluates every part of a WITH query against one pre-statement snapshot. That's wrong specifically for FOR UPDATE, which always reads the latest row version including one written earlier in the same statement -- confirmed empirically (a restart command was always coming back empty even when genuinely pending, so the agent never received it). Fixed by splitting into two real, ordered statements inside one explicit transaction. See /docs/agent-management-design.md's "Lifecycle commands" section.
proto
Shared .proto contracts. Source of truth for the agent↔ingest gRPC
service; each language generates its own bindings from these files rather
than sharing generated code across languages.
sentry/logs/v1/logs.proto—LogIngest.PushBatch, the data-plane RPC an agent calls to ship log records.sentry/agent/v1/agent_control.proto—AgentControl.CheckIn, the control-plane RPC an agent calls (on its own heartbeat ticker, same push-not-pull posture) to report its config and fetch any remote override -- see /docs/agent-management-design.md. Same mTLS connection/listener asLogIngest, a second service on it rather than a second protocol.
Go bindings
Go is the one language here with pre-generated, checked-in bindings
(sentry/logs/v1/logs.pb.go, logs_grpc.pb.go), living in this directory
as its own module (github.com/sentry/sentry/proto) that /ingest and
/api depend on via a local replace directive in their go.mod. Rust
(/agent) instead generates its bindings at build time via tonic-build
(see agent/sentry-agent/build.rs) — no checked-in Rust output.
To regenerate the Go bindings after changing either .proto file:
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest
cd proto
