+# Queue Resilience Configuration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+HMAC File Server 3.2 Ultimate Fixed includes advanced queue resilience features designed to handle timeout scenarios gracefully and maintain service availability under various network conditions.
+
+## Enhanced Configuration Sections
+
+### 1. Server-Level Timeout Resilience
+
+```toml
+[server]
+# Enhanced timeout resilience settings
+graceful_shutdown_timeout = "300s"    # Time to wait for active uploads during shutdown
+request_timeout = "7200s"             # Maximum time for any single request (2 hours)
+keep_alive_timeout = "300s"           # HTTP keep-alive timeout
+connection_drain_timeout = "180s"     # Time to drain connections during shutdown
+upload_stall_timeout = "600s"         # Timeout if upload stalls (no data received)
+download_stall_timeout = "300s"       # Timeout if download stalls
+retry_after_timeout = "60s"           # Retry-After header when rejecting due to overload
+max_concurrent_uploads = 100          # Maximum concurrent upload operations
+upload_rate_limit = "10MB/s"          # Per-connection upload rate limit
+connection_pool_size = 200            # Maximum connection pool size
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Server doesn't abruptly terminate active uploads during shutdown
+- **Stall Detection**: Automatically detects and handles stalled uploads/downloads
+- **Connection Management**: Limits concurrent operations to prevent resource exhaustion
+- **Rate Limiting**: Prevents individual connections from overwhelming the server
+
+### 2. Enhanced Worker Configuration
+
+```toml
+[workers]
+# Enhanced queue robustness settings
+queue_timeout = "300s"               # Maximum time a job can wait in queue
+queue_drain_timeout = "120s"         # Time to wait for queue drain during shutdown
+worker_health_check = "30s"          # How often to check worker health
+max_queue_retries = 3                # Max retries for failed queue operations
+priority_queue_enabled = true        # Enable priority queuing for different file sizes
+large_file_queue_size = 20           # Separate queue for files > 100MB
+small_file_queue_size = 100          # Queue for files < 10MB
+queue_backpressure_threshold = 0.8   # Queue usage % to start backpressure
+circuit_breaker_enabled = true       # Enable circuit breaker for queue failures
+circuit_breaker_threshold = 10       # Failures before opening circuit
+circuit_breaker_timeout = "60s"      # Time before retrying after circuit opens
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- **Priority Queuing**: Large files don't block small file uploads
+- **Health Monitoring**: Workers are continuously monitored for failures
+- **Circuit Breaking**: Automatic failure detection and recovery
+- **Backpressure Control**: Gradual slowdown instead of hard failures
+
+### 3. Advanced Queue Resilience
+
+```toml
+[queue_resilience]
+enabled = true
+# Timeout handling
+queue_operation_timeout = "30s"      # Max time for queue operations
+queue_full_behavior = "reject_oldest" # How to handle full queues
+spillover_to_disk = true             # Use disk when memory queue is full
+spillover_directory = "/tmp/hmac-queue-spillover"
+spillover_max_size = "1GB"           # Max disk spillover size
+
+# Queue persistence and recovery
+persistent_queue = true              # Persist queue state
+queue_recovery_enabled = true        # Recover queue state on restart
+max_recovery_age = "24h"             # Max age of items to recover
+
+# Health monitoring
+queue_health_check_interval = "15s"  # Queue health check frequency
+dead_letter_queue_enabled = true     # Failed items queue
+dead_letter_max_retries = 5          # Max retries before dead letter
+dead_letter_retention = "7d"         # Dead letter retention time
+
+# Load balancing and prioritization  
+priority_levels = 3                  # Number of priority levels
+priority_aging_enabled = true        # Age items to higher priority
+priority_aging_threshold = "300s"    # Time before aging up
+load_balancing_strategy = "least_connections"
+
+# Memory management
+queue_memory_limit = "500MB"         # Max memory for queues
+queue_gc_interval = "60s"            # Garbage collection interval
+emergency_mode_threshold = 0.95      # Emergency mode trigger
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- **Disk Spillover**: Never lose uploads due to memory constraints
+- **Queue Recovery**: Resume operations after server restarts
+- **Dead Letter Queuing**: Handle persistently failing uploads
+- **Priority Aging**: Prevent starvation of lower-priority items
+
+### 4. Comprehensive Timeout Configuration
+
+```toml
+[timeouts]
+# Basic timeouts (existing)
+readtimeout = "4800s"
+writetimeout = "4800s" 
+idletimeout = "4800s"
+
+# Enhanced timeout resilience
+handshake_timeout = "30s"           # TLS handshake timeout
+header_timeout = "60s"              # HTTP header read timeout
+body_timeout = "7200s"              # HTTP body read timeout
+dial_timeout = "30s"                # Connection dial timeout
+keep_alive_probe_interval = "30s"   # TCP keep-alive probe interval
+keep_alive_probe_count = 9          # Keep-alive probes before giving up
+
+# Adaptive timeouts based on file size
+small_file_timeout = "60s"          # Files < 10MB
+medium_file_timeout = "600s"        # Files 10MB-100MB
+large_file_timeout = "3600s"        # Files 100MB-1GB
+huge_file_timeout = "7200s"         # Files > 1GB
+
+# Retry and backoff settings
+retry_base_delay = "1s"             # Base delay between retries
+retry_max_delay = "60s"             # Maximum delay between retries
+retry_multiplier = 2.0              # Exponential backoff multiplier
+max_retry_attempts = 5              # Maximum retry attempts
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- **Adaptive Timeouts**: Different timeouts based on file size
+- **Connection Resilience**: TCP keep-alive prevents silent failures
+- **Exponential Backoff**: Intelligent retry timing reduces server load
+- **Granular Control**: Fine-tuned timeouts for different operations
+
+## Timeout Scenario Handling
+
+### 1. Network Interruption Scenarios
+
+**Mobile Network Switching:**
+- Keep-alive probes detect network changes
+- Chunked uploads can resume after network restoration
+- Upload sessions persist through network interruptions
+
+**Slow Network Conditions:**
+- Adaptive timeouts prevent premature termination
+- Rate limiting prevents network saturation
+- Progress monitoring detects actual stalls vs. slow transfers
+
+### 2. Server Overload Scenarios
+
+**High Load Conditions:**
+- Circuit breaker prevents cascade failures
+- Backpressure slows down new requests gracefully
+- Priority queuing ensures critical uploads continue
+
+**Memory Pressure:**
+- Disk spillover prevents memory exhaustion
+- Queue garbage collection manages memory usage
+- Emergency mode provides last-resort protection
+
+### 3. Application Restart Scenarios
+
+**Graceful Shutdown:**
+- Active uploads get time to complete
+- Queue state is persisted before shutdown
+- Connections are drained properly
+
+**Recovery After Restart:**
+- Queue state is restored from persistence
+- Upload sessions are recovered
+- Dead letter items are reprocessed
+
+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+### Queue Health Metrics
+
+The enhanced configuration provides comprehensive metrics:
+
+- **Queue Length**: Current items in each queue
+- **Queue Processing Time**: Time items spend in queue
+- **Worker Health**: Individual worker status and performance
+- **Circuit Breaker State**: Open/closed status and failure counts
+- **Spillover Usage**: Disk spillover utilization
+- **Dead Letter Queue**: Failed item counts and reasons
+
+### Log Messages
+
+Enhanced logging provides visibility into queue operations:
+
+```
+INFO: Queue backpressure activated (80% full)
+WARN: Circuit breaker opened for upload queue (10 consecutive failures)
+INFO: Spillover activated: 50MB written to disk
+ERROR: Dead letter queue: Upload failed after 5 retries
+INFO: Queue recovery: Restored 23 items from persistence
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Configuration Tuning
+
+**For High-Volume Servers:**
+```toml
+uploadqueuesize = 200
+large_file_queue_size = 50
+small_file_queue_size = 500
+max_concurrent_uploads = 200
+queue_memory_limit = "1GB"
+```
+
+**For Memory-Constrained Environments:**
+```toml
+uploadqueuesize = 50
+spillover_to_disk = true
+queue_memory_limit = "200MB"
+emergency_mode_threshold = 0.85
+```
+
+**For Mobile/Unreliable Networks:**
+```toml
+keep_alive_probe_interval = "15s"
+upload_stall_timeout = "300s"
+max_retry_attempts = 8
+retry_max_delay = "120s"
+```
+
+### 2. Monitoring Setup
+
+**Essential Metrics to Monitor:**
+- Queue length trends
+- Worker health status
+- Circuit breaker activations
+- Spillover usage
+- Dead letter queue growth
+
+**Alert Thresholds:**
+- Queue length > 80% capacity
+- Circuit breaker open for > 5 minutes
+- Dead letter queue growth > 10 items/hour
+- Spillover usage > 50% of limit
+
+### 3. Troubleshooting
+
+**Common Issues and Solutions:**
+
+**Frequent Timeouts:**
+- Check network stability
+- Increase adaptive timeouts for file size
+- Enable more aggressive keep-alive settings
+
+**Queue Backlogs:**
+- Monitor worker health
+- Check for resource constraints
+- Consider increasing worker count
+
+**Memory Issues:**
+- Enable disk spillover
+- Reduce queue memory limit
+- Increase garbage collection frequency
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The enhanced queue resilience features are designed to be:
+
+1. **Backward Compatible**: Existing configurations continue to work
+2. **Opt-in**: Features can be enabled individually
+3. **Performance Conscious**: Minimal overhead when not actively needed
+4. **Configurable**: All aspects can be tuned for specific environments
+
+These enhancements make HMAC File Server significantly more robust in handling timeout scenarios while maintaining high performance and reliability.

+# HMAC File Server Queue Resilience Enhancement Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+I've reviewed and enhanced the queuing system in HMAC File Server 3.2 Ultimate Fixed to make it significantly more robust in handling timeout scenarios. The improvements span multiple layers: configuration, queue management, worker health, and failure recovery.
+
+## Key Problems Addressed
+
+### 1. **Timeout-Related Queue Failures**
+- **Problem**: Queued uploads timing out during network interruptions
+- **Solution**: Adaptive timeouts based on file size, keep-alive monitoring, and resumable uploads
+
+### 2. **Queue Overflow During High Load**
+- **Problem**: Memory queues filling up and rejecting new uploads
+- **Solution**: Disk spillover, priority queuing, and backpressure control
+
+### 3. **Worker Health and Failure Detection**
+- **Problem**: Failed workers blocking queue processing
+- **Solution**: Continuous health monitoring, circuit breakers, and automatic recovery
+
+### 4. **Network Interruption Recovery**
+- **Problem**: Lost uploads during network switching or disconnections
+- **Solution**: Persistent queue state, upload session recovery, and graceful degradation
+

+```
+
+### Comprehensive Timeout Configuration (`[timeouts]` section)
+```toml
+# NEW: Adaptive timeouts by file size
+small_file_timeout = "60s"          # < 10MB files
+medium_file_timeout = "600s"        # 10MB-100MB files  
+large_file_timeout = "3600s"        # 100MB-1GB files
+huge_file_timeout = "7200s"         # > 1GB files
+
+# NEW: Connection resilience

+retry_max_delay = "60s"             # Maximum backoff delay
+max_retry_attempts = 5              # Retry limit
+```
+
+## Core Resilience Features
+
+### 1. **Multi-Tier Queue Architecture**
+- **High Priority Queue**: Small files, urgent uploads
+- **Medium Priority Queue**: Regular uploads  
+- **Low Priority Queue**: Large files, background uploads
+- **Disk Spillover**: Unlimited capacity fallback
+- **Dead Letter Queue**: Failed uploads for manual intervention
+
+### 2. **Intelligent Timeout Management**
+- **Adaptive Timeouts**: Different limits based on file size
+- **Progress Monitoring**: Distinguish between slow and stalled transfers
+- **Keep-Alive Probing**: Early detection of network issues
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Slow down rather than fail hard
+
+### 3. **Circuit Breaker Pattern**
+- **Failure Detection**: Automatic detection of systemic issues
+- **Fail-Fast**: Prevent cascade failures during outages
+- **Auto-Recovery**: Intelligent retry after issues resolve
+- **Metrics Integration**: Observable failure patterns
+
+### 4. **Worker Health Monitoring**
+- **Continuous Monitoring**: Regular health checks for all workers
+- **Performance Tracking**: Average processing time and error rates
+- **Automatic Recovery**: Restart failed workers automatically
+- **Load Balancing**: Route work to healthiest workers
+
+### 5. **Queue Persistence and Recovery**
+- **State Persistence**: Queue contents survive server restarts
+- **Session Recovery**: Resume interrupted uploads automatically
+- **Redis Integration**: Distributed queue state for clustering
+- **Disk Fallback**: Local persistence when Redis unavailable
+
+## Timeout Scenario Handling
+
+### Network Interruption Recovery
+```
+User uploads 1GB file → Network switches from WiFi to 4G
+├── Upload session persisted to Redis/disk
+├── Keep-alive probes detect network change
+├── Upload pauses gracefully (no data loss)
+├── Network restored after 30 seconds
+├── Upload session recovered from persistence
+└── Upload resumes from last completed chunk
+```
+
+### Server Overload Protection
+```
+100 concurrent uploads overwhelm server
+├── Queue reaches 80% capacity (backpressure threshold)
+├── New uploads get delayed (not rejected)
+├── Circuit breaker monitors failure rate
+├── Large files moved to disk spillover
+├── Priority queue ensures small files continue
+└── System degrades gracefully under load
+```
+
+### Application Restart Robustness
+```
+Server restart during active uploads
+├── Graceful shutdown waits 300s for completion
+├── Active upload sessions persisted to disk
+├── Queue state saved to Redis/disk
+├── Server restarts with new configuration
+├── Queue state restored from persistence
+├── Upload sessions recovered automatically
+└── Clients resume uploads seamlessly
+```
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Memory Usage
+- **Queue Memory Limit**: Configurable cap on queue memory usage
+- **Spillover Efficiency**: Only activates when memory queues full
+- **Garbage Collection**: Regular cleanup of expired items
+
+### CPU Overhead
+- **Health Monitoring**: Lightweight checks every 15-30 seconds
+- **Circuit Breaker**: O(1) operations with atomic counters
+- **Priority Aging**: Batched operations to minimize impact
+
+### Disk I/O
+- **Spillover Optimization**: Sequential writes, batch operations
+- **Persistence Strategy**: Asynchronous writes, configurable intervals
+- **Recovery Efficiency**: Parallel restoration of queue state
+
+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+### Key Metrics Exposed
+```
+# Queue health metrics
+hmac_queue_length{priority="high|medium|low"}
+hmac_queue_processing_time_seconds
+hmac_spillover_items_total

+WARN: Circuit breaker opened after 10 consecutive failures  
+INFO: Spillover activated: 156 items moved to disk
+ERROR: Upload failed after 5 retries, moved to dead letter queue
+INFO: Worker 3 marked as unhealthy (error rate 67%)
+INFO: Queue recovery completed: 23 items restored from persistence
+```
+
+## Implementation Benefits
