Takes the local WebServer off its serial accept loop and makes the database handle safe to share, which is the prerequisite half of ADFA-5175.

Stacked on #1688 (ADFA-5172), whose instrumentation commit is the first commit here. Review the second commit onward, or merge #1688 first.

What changes

The accept loop now hands each socket to a small on-demand pool — at most ServerConfig.maxWorkerThreads (16), with a SynchronousQueue so a burst grows the pool instead of lining up behind a busy worker — and goes straight back to accept(). A connection that is slow, or later one that stays open, can no longer stop the server from taking the next one.

That makes the shared database reachable from several threads at once, so:

  • Swapping it, which closes the old handle, is serialized against readers with a ReentrantReadWriteLock: a request holds the read lock across the query and the blob reads, the swap takes the write lock. Without this, one thread closes a handle another is querying — a process crash, not a slow path.
  • The swap opens the replacement before closing the old handle, so a failed open leaves the server serving the database it already had.
  • Shutdown drains the pool before closing the database, and closes live client sockets to do it: a worker parked in a socket read ignores shutdownNow()'s interrupt, and closing the database under it would crash the process.

The per-request stat of the sdcard debug database is now rate-limited to once a second (ServerConfig.debugDatabaseCheckIntervalMs). It measured 0–1 ms so it was never the ADFA-5172 stall, but it is a syscall per request against FUSE-backed emulated storage, for a developer-only override.

ADFA-5172's instrumentation is retargeted to match: the accept thread still reports a long park in accept(), while time spent serving moves to the worker, where it now belongs.

What is deliberately not here

HTTP keep-alive, which is what the ticket was originally filed for. Investigating the transport (see the ticket's comment thread) showed that WebViewClient.shouldInterceptRequest removes the socket entirely for the traffic that matters — no handshake to lose, no port, no ADFA-5035 class of bug — and that work is ADFA-5176. With documentation served in-process, the socket server is left with the /pr/ developer endpoints and any WebView not wired up, nowhere near the ~60 conn/s where this device starts dropping handshake packets. Keep-alive would have been a state machine added to a server that had become dev-only.

The concurrency half, on the other hand, is needed either way: shouldInterceptRequest is called on WebView's own threads and needs exactly this database safety.

Testing

:app:assembleV8Debug, spotlessCheck and WebServerTest (including ADFA-5035's bind/stop lifecycle tests) pass. Exercised on a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra across ~15,000 requests while measuring ADFA-5172, including a live debug-database swap.

Rovo Dev code review: Rovo Dev not activated in your linked Atlassian organization
An Atlassian organization admin needs to activate Rovo Dev.

The local WebServer stalls ~1.02 s about every 2 s under sustained load, and a
client-side measurement cannot say whether the loop was waiting in accept() or
busy elsewhere -- the ticket's first diagnostic.

Time each accept-loop iteration in two parts, parked in accept() versus busy
outside it, and time the per-request stat of the sdcard debug database, which is
FUSE-backed emulated storage and is the leading suspect for a slow iteration
delaying the next accept. One warn line is logged per iteration that crosses
ServerConfig.stallThresholdMs (200 ms by default), carrying the previous
iteration's split so a stall can be attributed to the loop or exonerated.

Kept independent of the webserver.debug sentinel on purpose: its ~10 log lines
per request perturb the timing being measured, and the ticket's next step is to
re-run with the sentinel removed.

A long park in accept() is normal on an idle server, so it is reported only when
the previous park was short -- i.e. during the sustained load where the stall
lives, not when a user simply stopped browsing.

📝 Walkthrough
  • Added an on-demand worker pool with up to ServerConfig.maxWorkerThreads (16) workers.
  • Protected shared database access with a ReentrantReadWriteLock.
  • Opened replacement databases before closing existing database handles.
  • Added graceful shutdown for workers and client sockets before database closure.
  • Rate-limited debug-database checks with ServerConfig.debugDatabaseCheckIntervalMs.
  • Updated ADFA-5172 instrumentation to measure accept() separately from request processing.
  • Added configurable accept-loop stall logging with ServerConfig.stallThresholdMs.
  • Added tests for accept-loop stall reporting.
  • Updated database documentation for worker-pool handling and rate-limited checks.
  • Risk: Worker-pool saturation can reject requests or increase request latency.
  • Risk: HTTP keep-alive remains unsupported and is deferred to ADFA-5176.
  • Risk: Rate-limited database checks can delay detection of a debug-database replacement.

Walkthrough

WebServer now serves connections through a bounded worker pool, tracks active sockets during shutdown, reports stalls, and coordinates debug-database replacement with read/write locking and rate-limited timestamp checks.

Changes

WebServer concurrency and database coordination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and concurrency state
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/WebServer.kt
ServerConfig adds worker, stall, and database polling settings. WebServer adds worker lifecycle, socket tracking, timing, and locking state.
Worker-based connection lifecycle
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/WebServer.kt, app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/AcceptWaitReportingTest.kt
The accept loop submits connections to bounded workers. Workers handle sockets, report slow requests, and handle rejected connections. Shutdown closes live sockets and awaits worker termination. Tests cover accept-wait reporting thresholds and retransmission intervals.
Database polling and lock coordination
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/WebServer.kt, docs/documentation-database.md
Debug-database checks are rate-limited. Database replacement uses the write lock, while requests use the read lock. Documentation describes the updated behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1570e

The worker-pool change is broadly mergeable, but shutdown can skip worker draining and database cleanup if closing the server socket throws; this needs a small fix or explicit owner acceptance. A separate lint-only cleanup remains.

Review found two false positives in the accept-wait half of the report, and both
were real: the carried previous-wait started at zero, which reads as an iteration
that was served instantly, so the first request after startup was always reported
-- on the device it logged "74552 ms parked in accept()" for exactly that reason
-- and a long wait after any genuine pause looked the same.

The wait now has to look like what ADFA-5172 is about: at least the threshold, no
more than 10 s (Linux retransmits a SYN at 1 s, 3 s and 7 s, so past that it is
nobody browsing), and preceded by an iteration that was served promptly. A
sentinel distinguishes "no iteration has finished yet" from one that waited 0 ms.

The decision moved into shouldReportAcceptWait() so it is testable, and it now
has tests: the stall itself, each false positive that prompted this, the
retransmission ladder, an ordinary wait, and the degenerate threshold.

A negative stallThresholdMs is clamped to zero rather than reported as an error --
it is a diagnostic knob, and a nonsense value should not throw. Zero has a quirk
worth knowing, so it is documented and tested rather than engineered around: it
reports every iteration's serving time, but silences the accept-wait half, whose
"the last iteration was served promptly" test cannot hold when the threshold is
zero.

Guard serverSocket.close() so shutdown always drains workers and closes the database.

Line 293 calls close() without a local handler. If it throws IOException, the exception leaves the finally block. The worker drain at lines 299-309 and the database close at lines 320-326 are then skipped, so worker threads keep running against a still-open handle. stop() at lines 201-205 already wraps the same call in a try/catch.

Code review (medium effort) -- 5 findings, all in WebServer.kt. The two worth acting on before merge are the lock scope in handleRequest and the missing soTimeout on accepted sockets: together they can wedge the whole thread pool, which is the failure mode the pool was meant to eliminate.

Checked and found sound: templateCache/bookshelfTemplateId sharing (ConcurrentHashMap, -1 reset only under the write lock), the double-checked @Volatile databaseTimestamp guard, the CAS stat rate limiter (now - last is wraparound-safe), liveSockets registration ordering, and AcceptWaitReportingTest not touching Android APIs.

medium — read lock held across the socket write can wedge every worker

databaseLock.read { serveRequest(...) } wraps the whole response, including output.write(dbContent) / output.flush() at line 695, not just the query and blob reads. Accepted sockets have no soTimeout or write deadline, so a client that stops draining (backgrounded WebView, half-dead TCP peer) parks a worker inside databaseLock.read indefinitely.

If a debug database then shows up, maybeSwapDebugDatabase queues for the write lock, and ReentrantReadWriteLock stops admitting new readers once a writer is queued -> every other worker blocks in databaseLock.read and connection 17 onward is dropped. One stalled client plus one debug swap freezes the server, which is the failure mode the pool was added to remove.

dbContent is already fully materialized, so: do the DB reads under the lock, release it, then write the bytes.

medium — idle clients permanently exhaust the queueless pool, and rejection sends no response

Accepted sockets never get a soTimeout, and the pool has no queue (SynchronousQueue, max 16). readLineFromStream blocks forever on a client that connects and sends nothing, so 16 such connections hold all workers permanently. From then on every real request hits RejectedExecutionException and the socket is closed with no status line at all -- the WebView sees an empty response rather than a 503 or a delay.

Before this change a stalled connection was still a bug, but it recovered as soon as that one client went away; now it is terminal for the whole server.

Suggest socket.soTimeout = <a few seconds> on accept, plus writing a 503 before closeQuietly in the reject path.

low/medium — shutdown-versus-swap race can reopen the database after it was closed

A worker parked waiting for the write lock here holds no socket read, so shutdownNow() cannot interrupt it and awaitTermination can time out. start()'s finally then takes the write lock and closes database (line 322). The parked worker next acquires the write lock, opens the replacement, assigns database, and calls previous.close() on the already-closed handle -- IllegalStateException on double close, plus a leaked open SQLite handle/fd on a server that has already stopped.

A @Volatile stopping flag checked inside this databaseLock.write block would close it.

low — the slow-request warning loses the peer address it exists to record

reportSlowRequest(...) runs after closeQuietly(clientSocket) in the same finally. Socket.toString() on a closed socket goes through getImpl(), which throws SocketException, and the caught result is Socket[unconnected] -- so every ADFA-5172 "Took N ms to serve {}" warning drops the address.

Capture clientSocket.toString() (or the remote address) before closing, or call reportSlowRequest before closeQuietly.

// ADFA-5172: accept-loop iterations slower than this get one diagnostic log line. Zero reports
// every iteration's serving time (and silences the accept-wait half, whose "the last iteration

low — doc drift: these comments still describe the pre-pool accept loop

stallThresholdMs says "accept-loop iterations slower than this", and shouldReportAcceptWait's KDoc (line 419) says the wait must be "preceded by an iteration that was served promptly". After this PR the accept loop no longer serves anything, and previousAcceptWaitNanos is the previous accept wait, not serving time.

The predicate itself is correct -- only its stated meaning is stale. The test name a one second wait between promptly served requests inherits the same wording. CLAUDE.md asks for docs to move with the code in the same change.

Review asked for both.

The loop was a try inside a try inside a while, with two catch blocks each
nesting conditionals two deep, and a finally doing three unrelated jobs. It is
now eight lines: accept, serve, close. The pieces became functions that each do
one thing -- acceptNextClient() returns null only when the listening socket
closed and retries any other accept failure, serveClient() serves one connection
and answers a 500 if handling fails partway, sendInternalServerError(),
closeQuietly(), and isSocketClosed() for the string test that a closed socket
forces on us.

Two side effects worth noting. The socket can no longer be null inside the loop,
so the old comment defending a log line that could print "null" is gone with the
line it defended; the replacement logs the socket it actually served. And the
timings the loop carried in locals are now fields, which is honest about what
they always were: state belonging to the single accept thread, not to one
iteration.

The report's filtering contract now has boundary tests, both ends inclusive: one
millisecond under the threshold, exactly on it, one over; 9,999 / 10,000 / 10,001
ms against the ceiling; and the previous wait counting as steady load right up to
the threshold. Round values well inside each range said nothing about whether the
comparisons were inclusive, which is exactly what a later edit flips silently.
Prerequisite for keep-alive: a connection that stays open must not stop the
server from accepting the next one. The accept loop now hands each socket to a
small on-demand pool (at most ServerConfig.maxWorkerThreads, SynchronousQueue so
a burst grows the pool rather than queueing behind a busy worker) and goes
straight back to accept().

That makes the shared database handle reachable from several threads at once, so
swapping it -- which closes the old handle -- is now serialized against readers
with a ReentrantReadWriteLock: requests hold the read lock across the query and
the blob reads, the swap takes the write lock. The swap also opens the
replacement before closing the old handle, so a failed open leaves the server
serving the database it already had instead of a closed one.

Shutdown drains the pool before closing the database, and closes live client
sockets to do it: a worker parked in a socket read ignores shutdownNow()'s
interrupt, and closing the database under it would crash the process.

The per-request stat of the sdcard debug database is now rate-limited to once a
second. It sits on FUSE-backed emulated storage and it is a developer-only
override, so a stat per request bought nothing.

ADFA-5172's instrumentation is retargeted to match: the accept thread still
reports a long park in accept(), while time spent serving moves to the worker,
where it now belongs.
Three real findings from review, all in code this PR added or moved.

Shutdown could close the database under a live worker. The socket was registered
from inside the worker task, so the sweep that closes sockets to unblock workers
could run in the window before that registration and miss one; awaitTermination
can also simply time out, and the code continued regardless. Sockets are now
registered in the accept loop before the task starts, and the close takes the
write lock, so a worker still holding the read lock finishes its query instead of
having the handle pulled out from under it.

A debug database that will not open failed the request that noticed it. The open
sat in the write block with no handler, so a missing or truncated sdcard database
turned into a 500 -- and contradicted the KDoc promising the previous database
keeps serving. It is caught and logged now, and the rate limiter means a fixed
file is picked up on its own an interval later.

The swap left templateCache full of templates compiled from the previous
database, keyed by an id the replacement can define differently. It is cleared
with the rest of the per-database state. Pre-existing on stage, but this PR is
where the swap became concurrent, so it belongs here.

Rebased onto the ADFA-5172 branch to pick up its accept-wait fix, which this
branch's rewritten reporter now calls.

Rebased onto #1688, which has moved twice: your stage merge (bringing in #1682 and #1690), and jatezzz's request there to flatten the accept loop.

That flattening changes what this PR looks like, for the better. #1688 now provides acceptNextClient(), sendInternalServerError(), closeQuietly() and isSocketClosed(), so the pool change here is just:

while (true) {
    val clientSocket = acceptNextClient() ?: break

    liveSockets.add(clientSocket)
    try {
        pool.execute { handleConnection(clientSocket) }
    } catch (e: RejectedExecutionException) { ... }
}

Two things merged rather than collided:

Verified after the rebase: :app:assembleV8Debug, spotlessCheck, and the localWebServer tests all pass.
