Indexer search request cancel procedure

  • Status: Accepted
  • Date: 2026-01-26
  • Context:
    • Search requests must be cancelable with proper authorization and clean terminal state transitions.
    • Runs in queued or running state must be marked canceled without violating status timestamp constraints.
  • Decision:
    • Add search_request_cancel_v1 to enforce actor authorization, mark the search as canceled, and cancel in-flight runs.
    • Keep the procedure idempotent when the request is already terminal.
  • Consequences:
    • Cancel operations consistently update finished_at/canceled_at and avoid invalid run states.
    • Unauthorized callers cannot cancel Torznab-owned searches.
  • Follow-up:
    • Implement search_request_create_v1 and search run state procedures to complete the search lifecycle.
