Why

Stopping a Talos cluster on Hetzner now fails after five minutes, because the servers no longer finish their graceful shutdown. The weekly Hetzner system test has been red since the newest Talos releases, and a user is left with a cluster that is neither running nor stopped.

What

KSail still asks every server to shut down gracefully, and waits up to three minutes. Any server that is still on after that is powered off, so the stop finishes. A failed API call or a stop the user cancels is reported as before, without forcing anything.

Part of #7858

`ksail cluster stop` on Hetzner sent an ACPI shutdown and waited five
minutes for every server to be off, then failed. Since Talos v1.14.3 the
scheduled Hetzner system test's Talos nodes no longer finish that
shutdown, so every stop timed out.

Wait up to three minutes for the graceful shutdown, then power off the
servers that are still on and wait for them to be off. API failures and
a cancelled stop are returned unchanged, without forcing anything.

📝 Walkthrough

Hetzner StopNodes now waits for servers to stop within a configurable graceful-shutdown window, which defaults to three minutes. If the wait times out and the caller context remains active, it powers off servers that are still running and waits for them to stop. Status polling accepts a timeout and wraps timeout errors with ErrServerStatusTimeout. Tests cover graceful completion and fallback poweroff.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3f9be

Stopping Hetzner clusters may power off servers after an independent status API deadline error, even though the caller context is still active. Resolve or explicitly accept this before merging. The test race is a small cleanup.

Comment thread pkg/svc/provider/hetzner/provider.go
…indow deadline

The provider cannot tell a status read its own graceful-window deadline
interrupted from one that failed with a matching error at that moment;
in both cases the window has run out. StopNodes powers off the servers
still running, after listing them again, so it acts on their current
state and fails if the API is down.

Comment thread pkg/svc/provider/hetzner/stop_nodes_test.go Outdated
A stalled status handler can still be running after the client gave up,
so the StopNodes tests now read shutdowns, power-offs and the stall flag
through one locked snapshot instead of the raw fields.

Blocker: next available autonomous real-cluster trial slot, no earlier than 2026-10-21 Europe/Copenhagen, after the 2026-10-20 slot taken by #7854 and verified teardown of that trial | outcome | last-verified 2026-10-19: The change is reviewed green at 3f4d578 (Codex: no major issues; every review thread resolved) and its unit tests, race-detector run and lint pass. What is still missing is the user check: a real Hetzner Talos cluster stop where a server ignores the graceful shutdown, showing the stop now finishes after the three-minute window with only that server powered off, and the system test's cluster update stop no longer timing out. That needs one real Hetzner trial, and the portfolio allows one autonomous real-cluster trial per day. Before dispatching it, recheck daily-slot ownership and verify every resource of the preceding trial is gone; an unknown cleanup blocks the trial. Required CI on this head is still running and is checked every run while parked.
