📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change prevents stale terminal statuses from marking reassigned or removed spans absent. It adds ownership-aware span-controller APIs and regression coverage for span reassignment, node removal, and MySQL integration-test execution. ChangesSpan absence guard
Integration test stability
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The CI change causes MySQL shards to run only the new regression test, skipping their previously configured tests and reducing required validation coverage; this should be corrected before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve each shard’s configured tests.
Line [199] replaces the test list selected from mysql_groups, so every MySQL shard runs only ddl_for_split_tables_with_random_merge_and_split. This skips the other configured tests and conflicts with the objective to run all tests. Append the regression case with a membership check, or run it as a separate CI job.

Issue Number: close #6072
What is changed and how it works?
This PR prevents a stale SpanReplication from being reintroduced into the scheduler’s Absent set after it has already been removed, replaced, or rebound to another node.
Previously, terminal dispatcher status handling performed the following operations separately:
A concurrent split could call ReplaceReplicaSet between these operations. The split removed the old span and created its replacement spans, but the terminal-status handler still held a pointer to the old span. Because MarkSpanAbsent did not verify that the span was still part of the controller’s desired state, it inserted the obsolete span into the scheduler’s Absent set.
This created a ghost Absent span: the scheduler repeatedly tried to create an Add operator for a dispatcher that no longer existed in the span controller, resulting in continuous add operator failed, span not found errors and a stalled checkpoint.
This PR makes the transition safe in two ways:
MarkSpanAbsent now checks, while holding the span controller mutex, that the dispatcher ID is still registered in allTasks and that the registered value is the exact same SpanReplication instance. If the span has already been removed or replaced, the operation returns without changing scheduler or checkpoint-tracker state.
The terminal-status fallback uses MarkSpanAbsentIfCurrent, which additionally verifies under the same lock that the span is still bound to the node that reported the terminal status. This prevents a delayed Stopped status from an old owner from marking a span Absent after it has already been moved to another node.
ReplaceReplicaSet and the new validation use the same span controller mutex. Therefore, removal/replacement and the Absent transition now have a deterministic order:
ReplaceReplicaSet first
-> old span is no longer the current task
-> MarkSpanAbsent is skipped
MarkSpanAbsent first
-> the span is still current and owned by the reporting node
-> the valid Absent transition completes
The terminal-status warning is now emitted only when the span is actually transitioned to Absent. Stale terminal statuses that lose the atomic validation are ignored without producing a misleading state-change log.
