Add coordination hardening and task monitoring documentation for 4.6.0

[malakaganga]

Purpose

Bring the coordination documentation on the 4.6.0 branch up to what the 4.6.0 product actually ships.

The coordination hardening for at-most-once coordinated task execution is not in the 4.6.0 GA distribution. It arrives through the update stream: the GA org.wso2.micro.integrator.ntask.core_4.6.0.jar carries none of the feature, while a 4.6.0 pack at LIVE update level 11 ships it in the stock plugins at bundle level 4.6.0.17, together with the six dialect *_cluster_coordination_hardening.sql scripts and the task_monitoring scripts. Right now none of that is documented on this branch. The feature releases from U2 update level 12.

This is the 4.6.0 port of #2445, plus the coordinated task monitoring page it depends on.

Changes

File	Change
install-and-setup/setup/feature-configs/configuring-coordination-hardening.md	New page. What the feature does, the four setup steps, monitoring and triage, behavior notes, how to disable.
install-and-setup/setup/feature-configs/configuring-task-monitoring.md	New page. Ported from main, because the hardening page builds on it and links to it.
observe-and-manage/working-with-management-api.md	New sections for GET TASK STATUS, GET COORDINATION READINESS, RECONFIGURE TASK and RETIRE TASK.
install-and-setup/setup/deployment/deploying-wso2-mi.md	Points the cluster coordination section at the new page.
install-and-setup/setup/feature-configs/configuring-task-delete-barrier.md	Notes that the hardening builds on the barrier.
mkdocs.yml	Nav entries for the two new pages.

One difference from the main version

The availability statement is branch specific. On main the page says the feature is available from MI 4.7.0 onwards. Here it reads:

It is available in WSO2 Integrator: MI 4.6.0 from update level 12 onwards

The feature is confirmed absent from 4.6.0 GA, so on this line it is update stream only.

Verification

Built locally with mkdocs serve on this branch: 0 errors, and the only 3 warnings are pre-existing ones about the Kafka connector nav entry and two file connector redirects, none of them on these pages.

Rendering checked with Playwright:

• both new pages and all four new management API sections render, with no raw {{ base_path }} and no unrendered Markdown;
• every internal link resolves and every anchor exists: #cluster-coordination, #get-coordination-readiness, #getting-a-jwt-token, #get-task-status, #reconfigure-task, #retire-task, plus the barrier, monitoring and RDBMS coordination pages;
• both new nav entries appear in the sidebar.

The documented behavior is the behavior of the shipped 4.6.0 bundles. The four MI coordination bundles in a LIVE level 11 pack are byte-identical class for class to the 4.6.0 back-port build, 218 of 218 classes.

📝 Summary

Summary

• Added documentation for coordinated task monitoring and coordination hardening in MI 4.6.0 update level 12 and later.
• Documented setup, activation, readiness checks, monitoring, recovery, disabling, and task-entry cleanup.
• Added Management API documentation for task status, coordination readiness, task reconfiguration, and task retirement.
• Updated deployment and task delete barrier guidance.
• Added navigation entries for the new feature pages.

Walkthrough

The documentation adds configuration and operational guidance for coordination hardening and coordinated task monitoring. It describes database setup, rolling activation, readiness, liveness, monitoring, recovery, and feature disabling. It documents task status, coordination readiness, task reconfiguration, and task retirement APIs. It also updates delete-barrier verification, deployment guidance, and site navigation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 72800

The guidance could cause incorrect operational decisions during node failures or transient duplicate episodes, but the impact is bounded to documented procedures.

On the Description check, I am not filling in that template here.

The template at the repo root is the generic WSO2 product-code template. It asks for FindSecurityBugs output, unit test code coverage, integration test coverage, certification questions to be sent to certification@wso2.com, marketing drafts and a link to a training PR. This change is documentation only, on a mkdocs site. There is no code, no build, no test suite and no attack surface for any of that to apply to, so those sections would be fifteen lines of N/A that tell a reviewer nothing they did not already know from the diff.

It is also not the convention in this repository. Of the five most recently merged PRs here, two have the body $subject, one is empty, one is fifty characters and one is prose with no template sections at all. Holding this PR to a standard that nothing else merged here meets is not a merge risk.

The description already carries what a reviewer of a docs PR needs: why the change exists, a file by file table of what changed, the single branch-specific difference from the main version, and the verification that was actually run, which is a local mkdocs build with zero errors and three pre-existing warnings none of which are on these pages, plus a Playwright pass over the rendered pages confirming every internal link resolves and every anchor exists.

If one specific section would add something a reviewer cannot get from the diff, name that section and I will add it.

🟡 Minor · Make terminal-node continuity conditional on quorum.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make terminal-node continuity conditional on quorum.

If task_server_count is configured and the terminal node leaves fewer live nodes than that count, coordinated tasks remain paused until quorum is restored. Without task_server_count, the remaining nodes continue running the tasks.

Proposed wording

- The other nodes keep running every task in the meantime.
+ The other nodes keep running every task in the meantime unless `task_server_count` is configured and the remaining live nodes no longer satisfy it. In that case, coordinated tasks remain paused until quorum is restored.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply duplicate severity and age thresholds before escalation. The live ?view=duplicates response reports only that a task is duplicated now. The monitoring rules require a SUSTAINED episode or an OPEN episode older than 2 x W; transient episodes and younger open episodes are normal.

-3. `?view=duplicates` reports `"healthy": false`, or a `SUSTAINED` line: collect the logs of both nodes and the duplicates history, and contact WSO2 Support.
