Explanation
Issue
#4969requires migration when the smallest-ID replica is failed.clusterHandleReplicaMigration()now excludes replicas withnodeFailed()ornodeTimedOut()before comparing node IDs. The regression test pauses the smallest-ID replica and the orphan primary's replica, then verifies that another live replica migrates within 15 seconds.

stall_run is only ever called as stall_run 1 15 (line 593), so the !$kill_lowest branch never runs. Nothing in this file covers "pause a non-lowest replica". Either add a second test that calls stall_run 0 ... and checks the old path still migrates, or drop the parameter and the branch:
| proc stall_run {kill_lowest seconds} { | |
| set lowest [stall_lowest_id {3 4 5}] | |
| set victim $lowest | |
| if {!$kill_lowest} { | |
| foreach i {3 4 5} { | |
| if {$i != $lowest} { | |
| set victim $i | |
| break | |
| } | |
| } | |
| } | |
| proc stall_run {seconds} { | |
| set victim [stall_lowest_id {3 4 5}] |
The call site would then become stall_run 15. The stall_* helpers are also defined as global procs in a file that other suites share a Tcl interpreter with. A file-specific prefix that matches the feature (for example repl_mig_*) would make collisions less likely.
Review stateReady for human review. Risk: Low. The change only narrows which replica counts as the migration candidate. If it is wrong, an orphaned primary gets an extra replica migration or misses one. Data and slot ownership are not affected. Open findings: none. Resolved (1)

repl_mig_runenables migration before pausing the victim and replica 7, then polls without waiting for either node to reachFAIL. The test can therefore pass while the victim is onlyPFAIL, covering the newPFAILskip instead of the intendedFAILpath.Primary 2 is orphaned only when the observing candidate sees replica 7 as
FAIL. Disable migration before pausing the processes, wait until every live candidate sees both nodes asFAIL, then enable migration only on those candidates. Read both node IDs before pausing them.

Wait for replica membership propagation before pausing replica 7.
wait_for_cluster_propagation checks slot configuration and node health. It does not check replica-to-primary membership. The ROLE checks query primaries 0 and 2, so they do not prove that candidates 3–5 have learned that replica 7 belongs to primary 2. Without that local view, clusterHandleReplicaMigration may not identify primary 2 as an orphaned migration target.
Add a wait that checks the surviving candidates’ parsed CLUSTER NODES entries before pausing replica 7.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winExclude PFAIL replicas from
clusterCountNonFailingReplicas().
clusterCountNonFailingReplicas()counts PFAIL replicas, butclusterHandleReplicaMigration()excludes them from both the migration barrier and candidate selection. A primary with one healthy replica and three PFAIL replicas therefore reports four replicas and can become the onlymax_replicassource. The barrier then sees only one healthy replica and can reject migration, while a source with three healthy replicas is not considered.🐛 Suggested fix

Problem Description
In
clusterHandleReplicaMigration()(src/cluster_legacy.c), the candidate replica for migration is selected as the replica with the smallest node ID among the primaries that currently have the most working replicas (max_replicas).However, the candidate selection loop did not skip replicas flagged with
FAIL:If the replica with the smallest node ID has permanently failed (e.g., lost host or replaced pod), it is still selected as the migration candidate. Because this failed node is offline, it cannot execute
clusterHandleReplicaMigration()or initiate migration. Moreover, becausecandidatepoints to the failed replica, none of the surviving live replicas evaluatecandidate == myselfas true. Consequently, replica migration stalls indefinitely and the orphaned primary never receives a replica even though another primary has spare replicas available.Solution
Skip replicas flagged with
nodeFailed(node->replicas[j])during candidate selection inclusterHandleReplicaMigration():candidateis initialized tomyself(which is guaranteed to be a live, non-failed replica belonging to a primary withmax_replicasworking replicas), and only non-failed replicas are compared and assigned.Also added a regression test in
tests/unit/cluster/replica-migration.tclverifying that when a primary's smallest-ID replica is failed/paused, another live replica successfully migrates to an orphaned primary.Fixes #4969.
