Termination queue (platform admin)

Everything the platform has scheduled to tear down unattended, in one place: a grace-period teardown from a suspended sole owner or exhausted credit, and a stray container nobody's Application claims. Both fire on the same 15-minute tick unless an operator intervenes here first. It lives under Admin → Termination Queue and requires the platform-admin role.

The termination queue with nothing pending

Scheduled teardowns

A row here means an organization's sole owner was suspended, or its credit ran out, and the grace period before its running deployments come down is still ticking. Each row shows the application, its organization, why, and when it fires. Cancel calls it off by hand — the same effect as the underlying condition clearing on its own (the owner re-enabled, the balance topped up).

Stray containers

A row here is a container a swarm reported that matches no live Application — an orphan left over from a deleted or suspended tenant, or one this platform never created. Each row shows the stack, which swarm it's on, and when it was first and last seen. Two actions:

  • Resolve — the same outcome the platform reaches on its own when a stray stops being observed (self-healed, or cleaned up by hand): the row is marked resolved and drops off the active list.
  • Mark known — for a stray that's still there but intentional. Unlike Resolve, the container isn't gone: detection keeps tracking it (its "last seen" keeps moving), but it's excluded from the 7-day auto-terminate and shows a Known badge instead of the countdown.

The nav badge

The Termination Queue item in the Admin section carries a count when there's something to look at: the number of active strays, in amber, whenever there is at least one — a stray is undiagnosed by construction, nobody scheduled it — falling back to the number of pending teardowns, in a neutral tone, only when there are none. No badge at all means both queues are empty.
