await app.RunTraxAsync(args);What changed:
MigrateAsync()in place ofEnsureSchemaCreatedAsync, before the hub serves. The hub is the one process that migrates the shop's schema; the workers start after it. Trax's own migrations run in every process, one after another, under a lock.UseBroadcaster(b => b.UseRabbitMq(rabbitMq)). Until now the hub's subscriptions heard only about runs the hub executed itself.runProgressfor a queued run, and the console's live views of the worker's runs, need the worker to tell the hub, and RabbitMQ carries it. A machine's changes do not need it: they travel through Postgres. A hub that cannot reach the broker still starts, and tries again until it can.- Two health checks.
AddTraxSchedulerLivenessfails when the scheduler has stopped dispatching, which is what a restart fixes: that is liveness.AddTraxHealthCheckreads the database and reportsDegradedwhen dead letters wait for someone or runs keep failing: that is readiness, and what an alert watches. Both are anonymous, and say nothing a caller could use.
