what

  • Rewrote the Atmos Pro cast-download polling flow (CastProArtifact/useCastArtifact.ts) to poll the render-status endpoint with Accept: application/json instead of the raw artifact URL, and to treat only a genuine 200 response as "ready" — never response.ok on any 2xx.
  • Extracted the polling state machine into a new framework-agnostic module, CastProArtifact/polling.mjs, with a companion polling.test.mjs covering the queued→rendering→ready path, an immediate-ready response, terminal errors, the slowdown threshold, the wait ceiling, a hung fetch, and cancellation.
  • Raised the total wait budget from a hard 60s to 30 minutes, polling every 3s and slowing to every 10s past 13 minutes elapsed, with a "still rendering, try again later" message instead of a false failure at the ceiling.
  • Updated CastProDownload to show "Queued…"/"Rendering… m:ss" (with a "taking longer than usual" hint) and an optional progress bar, and updated CastProArtifact/README.md to document the render service's actual JSON/200/202/500 contract and the new polling cadence.

why

  • Downloading a cast that hadn't finished rendering yet redirected the reader to a blank page reading "Cast artifact is not ready yet." instead of keeping them on the page.
  • The old polling logic asked for the raw artifact and accepted any 2xx as "ready," so a still-rendering response could be misread as done; separately, its 60s wait cap was far below real render times (casts can take several minutes, with queueing up to ~30 minutes worst case), so even correctly-detected renders gave up too early.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added clearer rendering status updates with queued and processing phases, elapsed time, progress stages, and visual progress indicators.
    • Added immediate readiness detection and automatic navigation to artifact downloads.
    • Rendering checks poll every 3 seconds, slow after 13 minutes, and stop after 30 minutes.
    • Added support for legacy artifact responses and clearer network, rendering, and terminal error messages.
    • Improved progress-bar accessibility with status announcements and percentage information.
  • Documentation

    • Updated service documentation covering polling responses, artifact metadata, errors, and download behavior.

…n a false-ready 2xx

Downloading an unrendered cast landed on a blank "Cast artifact is not
ready yet." page: the poll fetched the artifact URL without asking for
JSON, so a still-rendering response could be misread as ready, and the
60s wait ceiling was far below real render times (up to ~30 min with
queueing). Polling now asks for JSON, treats only a real 200 as ready
(aborting before any bytes transfer), and waits up to 30 minutes,
slowing its cadence past 13, while showing queued/rendering status and
elapsed time inline.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds JSON artifact polling with wall-clock timeout enforcement. It integrates the poller with the React hook, adds queued and processing progress display, preserves cancellation and stale-request protection, and updates protocol documentation and tests.

Changes

Artifact polling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Polling contract and engine
website/src/components/CastProArtifact/polling.mjs, website/src/components/CastProArtifact/README.md
The poller uses an injectable clock, keeps the abort deadline active through JSON body reads, reports wall-clock elapsed time, and documents JSON and legacy response handling.
Polling behavior validation
website/src/components/CastProArtifact/polling.test.mjs
Tests cover response classification, cadence thresholds, readiness, terminal errors, wall-clock deadlines, hanging body reads, network failures, and cancellation.
React poller integration
website/src/components/CastProArtifact/useCastArtifact.ts
The hook exposes phase, progress, elapsed time, and slow-state data. It cancels stale pollers, resets state on URL changes, and navigates to download=1 when ready.
Download progress display
website/src/components/CastProDownload/index.tsx, website/src/components/CastProDownload/styles.module.css
The component displays status text and an accessible progress bar with matching styles.

Inline comments:
In `@website/src/components/CastProArtifact/polling.mjs`:
- Line 124: Update the polling flow around the deadline timer and elapsedMs to
enforce the 30-minute limit using one monotonic start time rather than adding
poll intervals. Keep the remaining-budget abort active through response.json()
handling, including delayed 202 responses and hanging JSON bodies, and return
STILL_RENDERING_MESSAGE when the deadline expires. Add tests covering both
scenarios.

In `@website/src/components/CastProArtifact/useCastArtifact.ts`:
- Line 88: Update the URL-change effect in useCastArtifact so it resets the
polling state when starting a new URL, after cancelling the existing poller via
pollerRef. Preserve the existing initial polling behavior while ensuring stale
checking or rendering status cannot leave the new download button disabled.
- Line 106: Update the state merge in the useCastArtifact updater so terminal
updates clear the transient phase, progress, and slow fields when those values
are omitted, while preserving them for non-terminal updates. Use the existing
terminal-status indicator or update shape to distinguish terminal updates and
retain the current fields for ongoing polling.

In `@website/src/components/CastProDownload/index.tsx`:
- Around line 75-78: Add accessible progress semantics to the progress rendering
guarded by progressPercent, exposing both progress.stage and progressPercent
through a progress indicator or live status text. Do not rely on the title or
CSS width alone, and place the announcement outside the disabled button when
needed so assistive technology receives updates.

…rom HTTP status

The render service now answers a ready poll with JSON
(data.artifacts[0].status === "ready") instead of the raw artifact
bytes, and exposes CORS headers on error responses so 400/404/500
bodies are readable cross-origin. Update the 200 handling to branch on
Content-Type and check the real readiness field (falling back to the
old abort-without-reading behavior for any non-JSON 200), keeping the
poller correct against the documented contract instead of an
inference. No code change was needed for the error-readability part —
interpretPollResponse already reads body.error — so this only adds
test coverage for the 404 case.
…k button and stale progress

Addresses CodeRabbit review on PR #3115:
- The poller tracked elapsed time as a nominal poll-interval counter
  rather than real wall-clock time, so a slow round trip (or a hanging
  JSON body read) could let the next poll start with an almost-fresh
  30-minute budget instead of being bounded by the real one. Elapsed
  time is now derived from an injectable monotonic clock, and the
  per-poll abort deadline now spans the JSON body read too.
- Switching to a different cast mid-render (e.g. browsing to another
  file without unmounting CastProDownload) left the download button
  permanently disabled: the old poller was cancelled but its
  checking/rendering status was never reset for the new URL.
- A terminal ready/error update no longer leaves a stale progress bar
  showing from the last rendering update.
- The progress bar now exposes role=progressbar and aria-value* to
  assistive technology instead of relying on a title attribute alone.

…tration (cloudposse#3116)

* fix(ci): cap concurrent subprocess launches in acceptance test orchestration

This package's own test suite runs ~90 t.Parallel() subtests, many of
which shell out to `go build`/`go test -c`/`go test`/precompiled test
binaries via commandRunner. On a wide CI runner that lets dozens of
real `go` toolchain subprocesses launch fully concurrently, which has
triggered a Windows-only Go runtime GC/allocator crash ("fatal error:
found pointer to free object" / "marked free object in span") during
a concurrent os/exec process launch -- a long-standing, still-recurring
class of Go runtime race under heavy concurrent allocation+syscall
pressure on Windows (golang/go#44900, #45364, #47415, #54247), not
anything specific to the command being run.

Cap actual subprocess launches (not the surrounding parallel test
logic) at a small constant via a package-level semaphore in
commandRunner.run/output, and route testfixture_test.go's
buildFixtureTestBinary through the same runner instead of a bare
exec.Command so it shares the cap.

Seen bouncing PR cloudposse#3115 from the merge queue twice for unrelated
reasons; this specific crash was on the first attempt
(windows, shard 3/10, run 34558935380).

* fix(ci): scope the subprocess concurrency cap to Windows only

The GC/allocator race this guards against (golang/go#44900, #45364,
#47415, #54247) has only ever been reported on Windows -- capping
subprocess launches on Linux/macOS too just serializes work on
platforms that don't exhibit it, for no benefit. acquireSubprocessSlot
is now a no-op unless runtime.GOOS == "windows", so Linux/macOS keep
their full, uncapped concurrency (confirmed locally: this package's
test suite dropped from ~15s to ~11.7s on macOS with the cap scoped
out).

* refactor(ci): move the Windows subprocess cap into a build-tagged file

Splits the semaphore that caps concurrent subprocess launches on Windows
(added in 66e50d4, scoped to Windows in 7231935) out of command.go's
shared runtime.GOOS check into subprocess_cap_windows.go / subprocess_cap_other.go,
matching this codebase's established *_windows.go/*_other.go build-tag
convention (e.g. pkg/terraform/cache/trust_install_windows.go) instead of
a runtime branch in shared code.

Also adds the docs/fixes/ record for the whole fix (both prior commits plus
this refactor), which was missing.

* test(ci): cover run/output's subprocess-slot error branches

acquireSubprocessSlot's error path is only reachable on Windows (ctx done
before a slot frees up); subprocess_cap_other.go's no-op always returns nil
elsewhere, so run/output's `if err != nil` branches around it were
structurally unreachable in a non-Windows test run. Codecov flagged this PR's
patch coverage at 69.23% for exactly these two lines.

Adds an acquireSubprocessSlotFunc seam (defaults to acquireSubprocessSlot)
that command_test.go's two new tests override to force the error path on any
platform, asserting run/output actually propagate it.
