failed to get jobs: %w

Error message

failed to get jobs: %w

What it means

GetAllJobManagerStatus retrieves every waveobj.Job via wstore.DBGetAllObjsByType and maps them to JobManagerStatusUpdate entries. This error wraps a failure of the underlying type-scoped DB enumeration, before any per-job processing begins.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped error for the wstore root cause
2. Retry with a live context
3. Repair/restore the wave DB if corruption is indicated
4. Return an empty list instead of failing if statuses are best-effort

Example fix

// before
statuses, err := jobcontroller.GetAllJobManagerStatus(ctx)
if err != nil {
	return err
}
// after
statuses, err := jobcontroller.GetAllJobManagerStatus(ctx)
if err != nil {
	log.Printf("failed to enumerate job statuses: %v", err)
	statuses = nil
}

if ctx.Err() != nil {
	return errors.New("context canceled; skip enumeration")
}

statuses, err := jobcontroller.GetAllJobManagerStatus(ctx)
if err != nil {
	log.Printf("using empty job status list: %v", err)
	statuses = []*wshrpc.JobManagerStatusUpdate{}
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling GetAllJobManagerStatus when wstore.DBGetAllObjsByType[*waveobj.Job](ctx, OType_Job) fails — DB I/O error, corrupted job records, or canceled context.

Common situations: DB corruption affecting the job table; context cancellation during app shutdown; disk full preventing reads.
