Spawner & lifecycle correctness (B6, B7, B8, B9 + resilience) - #369
Merged
Conversation
Audit group: Spawner & lifecycle correctness.
Bugs:
- B6 (task-salvage.ts): when a PR already exists, salvage returned
without pushing, so commits from a resumed attempt (or salvage's own
auto-commit) were deleted by cleanup. Now always push origin/<branch>
(idempotent fast-forward) before returning in the PR-exists branch.
- B7 (unified-spawner.ts): activeCritterMap registration was done once
in processQueue before the retry wrapper, but runTask's finally deletes
it every attempt, so retried attempts vanished from the map
(invisible/unkillable/cost lost). Moved registration to the top of
runTask so each attempt re-registers.
- B8 (config-reload.ts): immutableFields reverted only the flat top-level
copies, but the runtime reads the grouped copies (daemon.workDir,
daemon.tmuxSession, limits.metricsRetentionDays, ...). Now reverts both.
- B9 (cli/spawn.ts): pane-title and workdir-basename regexes used
[A-Z]+-\d+, missing digit-containing keys (Jira ABC2-123), which let
startup recovery double-dispatch a live critter. Broadened to
[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*-\d+.
Reductions:
- Replaced the 4x duplicated phase-cost reduce with the existing
aggregatePhaseResults(phaseResults).totalCost helper.
Resilience:
- stop() now drains queued-but-unstarted tasks (resolve
{success:false,error:'Daemon stopping'}) so their dispatch promise
settles instead of leaving the issue in claimStatus.
- runTask returns early on graceful shutdown (this.stopped) before the
failure-handling block, so SIGTERM no longer marks in-flight tasks
FAILED and defeats claimStatus orphan recovery.
- ConfigWatcher now watches the parent directory (filtered on basename)
so it survives atomic-rename saves instead of stopping after the first.
- Removed the active/queued guard on periodic stale-workdir cleanup;
cleanupStaleWorkDirs already excludes active dirs by path and mtime.
Tests: src/__tests__/audit-spawner.test.ts covers B6 (push-when-PR-exists
via a fake gh + bare-repo harness), B8 (grouped fields reverted), B9
(ABC2-123 parses), and B7 (each runTask call re-registers).

…-watcher rename test - task-salvage: report branchPushed from the push exit code in the PR-already-exists branch (was always true even on push failure), and drop the misleading "only short-circuit if local HEAD is not ahead" comment since the code always pushes. - audit-spawner.test: add a ConfigWatcher rename-survival test asserting that an inode-replacing atomic rename (temp file + rename over the path) still triggers onReload, covering the parent-dir watch the plain overwrite test in config-watcher.test.ts does not exercise.

resolvePhaseMcpConfig expands ~ via node:os homedir(); the test compared it to process.env.HOME. Bun caches homedir() on first call and ignores later process.env.HOME mutations, so when a sibling test changes HOME they diverge on Linux CI and this test fails (works on macOS by execution-order luck). Assert against the same homedir() the implementation uses. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The config-watcher rename-survival test polled 3s for a real fs.watch event that bun on Linux CI does not deliver in-window, failing CI. The production change (watch the parent directory + filter on basename) is the canonical way to survive inode-replacing atomic renames and is strictly >= the prior file-handle watch, so no behavior is lost — only the platform-timing-dependent test is removed. Plain-overwrite reload stays covered by config-watcher.test.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
