Summary

  • Cap concurrent vsock use and harden the public docker.sock proxy so parallel CLI/Compose no longer hit EOF.
  • Encode empty API resource lists as [] instead of null.
  • Clean up calf-guestcmd-* leftovers and corrupt empty-name engine entries on macOS.
  • Restore docker run / docker exec stdout through docker.sock.
  • Make verify-docker-cli compose-plugin aware.
  • Bump version to 1.0.7.

Test plan

  • CI green (backend + ui)
  • After merge: Release workflow publishes draft v1.0.7 with calf-1.0.7.dmg
  • Homebrew cask update

Close both proxy sides when either direction ends so vsock half-closes
cannot leak FDs, and share a modest engine-connection gate between the
public socket proxy and guest docker/nerdctl calls.

Nil Go slices were serialized as null on list endpoints; WriteJSON now
normalizes them to [] so the UI always receives an array.

Retry force-remove after guest root scripts, label helpers for prune,
drop them from container lists, and sweep stale ones when the engine
starts so interrupted setup cannot leave ghost containers behind.

Prefer docker compose, fall back to docker-compose, and run compose
steps outside a subshell so failures count toward the summary.

Keep hijacked attach streams open after the CLI half-closes, and force
Connection: close on plain API calls so keep-alive cannot wedge vsock.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR improves Docker socket proxying, limits macOS guest connections, cleans up helper containers, normalizes empty API lists, filters guest commands, and adds Compose CLI fallback support.

Changes

Docker reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Socket proxy connection flow
backend/internal/daemon/docker_socket_proxy.go, backend/internal/daemon/core.go, backend/test/daemon/docker_socket_proxy_test.go
The proxy uses shared connection gating, bounded dial timeouts, HTTP-aware forwarding, preserved upgraded streams, and Connection: close for plain requests. Tests cover load, EOF handling, and connection closure.
macOS guest connection and helper lifecycle
backend/internal/runtime/guest_darwin.go, backend/internal/runtime/krunkit_darwin.go, backend/internal/runtime/container_ghosts.go, backend/test/runtime/container_ghosts_test.go, .cursor/rules/calf.mdc, CLAUDE.md
The Darwin guest limits concurrent Docker connections, labels and removes helper containers, prunes stale helpers, and cleans corrupt empty-name entries.
Container response and listing normalization
backend/internal/httpkit/response.go, backend/test/api/api_test.go, backend/internal/runtime/nerdctl.go, backend/test/runtime/nerdctl_test.go
Nil slices encode as []. Guest helper containers are excluded from parsed container listings. Tests cover both behaviors.
Compose command resolution and execution
scripts/verify-docker-cli.sh, CHANGELOG.md
The verification script supports docker compose and docker-compose, and routes Compose operations through helper functions. The changelog records these and related fixes.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 54184

The runtime can report Docker ready while a restart is still pending, causing connection failures, and cleanup may remove another container’s metadata when IDs share a prefix. Additional open proxy and verification issues can cause hangs, truncated responses, starvation, or false-positive checks. Merge should be blocked until the runtime cleanup/readiness and proxy correctness issues are fixed.

Replace the fixed sleep with a deterministic signal.

time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond) assumes the proxy observed the client CloseWrite within that window. On a loaded CI machine the test still passes, because the engine write happens after the sleep in either order. The sleep only weakens the assertion it is meant to protect. Poll for the proxy state or drop the sleep and keep the read deadline as the bound.

Report the client error instead of discarding it.

The goroutine returns silently when client.Get fails. The final assertion then reports only a count, so a failure gives no cause. Record the error and include it in the failure message.

180-180: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider running the prune off the startup critical path.

pruneStaleGuestCmds runs two docker ps calls plus one docker rm -f per leftover container. Each call takes a vsock slot and runs synchronously inside Start. With many leftovers, startup latency grows and the user waits. The other non-critical setup steps already run in goroutines on lifeCtx. Move the prune to the same pattern if startup time matters.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-	k.pruneStaleGuestCmds(ctx)
+	go func() {
+		pruneCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(lifeCtx, constants.DefaultActionTimeout)
+		defer cancel()
+		k.pruneStaleGuestCmds(pruneCtx)
+	}()

Note: if the prune must complete before ensureHostMountSymlink and the other guest scripts run, keep it synchronous.

429-456: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Header-size guard allows one extra read past the limit.

The check runs at the top of the loop, so buf can reach dockerProxyMaxHTTPHeader + 2048 before the function rejects the request. The overshoot is small and bounded, so behavior is safe. Check the size after the append if you want an exact bound.

The EOF branch at Line 450 returns a partial header as head. The proxy then forwards an incomplete request to dockerd. Returning an error for a truncated header would fail faster and produce a clearer log.

459-461: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Upgrade detection matches any Upgrade: header, including inside a request body prefix.

httpRequestHeadIsUpgrade searches the whole buffered head for \r\nupgrade:. The head ends at the first \r\n\r\n, so body bytes are excluded. The check is therefore correct for well-formed requests.

One gap: a request that arrives with Connection: Upgrade but a differently spelled upgrade token still matches, and a hijack request with the header on the first line after the request line also matches. Behavior is acceptable. Consider parsing with net/http.ReadRequest on a bufio.Reader to remove the string matching, and reuse the same reader for the remaining bytes.

Pruning by name filter can remove a helper container that is in use.

pruneStaleGuestCmds force-removes every container that matches label=calf.guestcmd=1 or name=calf-guestcmd-. It does not check age or state. Krunkit.Start calls it on the reuse path, where a guest command from another daemon operation can still be running. Filter on status=exited,created,dead, or compare the name timestamp against a cutoff, so a live helper survives.

Bound the connection-slot wait with an explicit timeout.

acquireConn(parent) blocks on the shared gate. parent is p.lifecycle or context.Background(), so neither carries a deadline. If the guest holds all 8 slots (for example during a long docker logs -f or AttachExec), each new client connection parks a goroutine until the daemon shuts down, and the CLI sees a hang instead of an error.

Create the bounded context first, then acquire with it. This also matches the guideline to thread an explicit timeout into blocking runtime calls.

🔧 Proposed fix
-	if err := p.acquireConn(parent); err != nil {
-		return
-	}
-	defer p.releaseConn()
-
 	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(parent, constants.GuestDiskFetchTimeout+3*time.Minute)
 	defer cancel()
+
+	acquireCtx, acquireCancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, dockerProxyAcquireTimeout)
+	defer acquireCancel()
+	if err := p.acquireConn(acquireCtx); err != nil {
+		p.logger.Warn("docker socket proxy could not reserve engine connection slot", "error", err)
+		return
+	}
+	defer p.releaseConn()

Add the constant next to the other proxy timeouts:

dockerProxyAcquireTimeout = 60 * time.Second
As per coding guidelines: "Thread a `context.Context` with an explicit timeout or cancellation through every call from an HTTP handler down into the runtime layer — never call a long-running or blocking runtime operation with a bare `context.Background()`".

Wait for the plain HTTP response before closing the proxy.

When the client half-closes, the client-to-server copy can finish first. The current code then closes both connections and truncates dockerd’s response. Track each copy direction separately, wait for server-to-client completion, and use a bounded grace period. Add a TCP test that calls CloseWrite on the plain path and checks the complete response body.

Log the cleanup failure and trim id before the comparison.

The retry loop discards every docker rm -f error. After three attempts the function returns without any record, so a leftover calf-guestcmd-* container is invisible in the logs. The guideline requires that a reader can tell which operation failed.

name != id at Line 278 compares the trimmed name against the untrimmed id. If id carries whitespace, the function appends a duplicate target. The extra docker rm -f is harmless but wasteful.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

dockerAPIReady now reports "not ready" when the local gate is saturated.

The function returns false if AcquireEngineConn does not get a slot inside 400 ms. That result describes host-side contention, not engine state. Krunkit.Start treats a false result as a dead stack and runs stopKrunkitStack() (see backend/internal/runtime/krunkit_darwin.go lines 179 and 211). Eight concurrent slot holders — for example several docker logs -f streams plus proxied CLI traffic — can therefore cause a restart of a healthy VM and drop live connections.

Distinguish the two outcomes. One option is to bypass the gate for the _ping probe, because it is a single short request. Another option is to return the acquisition error separately so callers do not read it as "engine down".

Long-lived sessions and short requests share the same 8-slot gate. engineConnGate holds 8 slots. streamLogsFollow and AttachExec each keep one slot for the whole session lifetime, while runLocal and the public docker.sock proxy need slots for short requests. Eight open log-follow or exec sessions therefore block every UI action and every proxied CLI command. Give long-lived sessions a separate budget, or reserve a minimum number of slots for short requests.

Use the resolved Compose command in the step labels.

When the fallback selects docker-compose, these labels still say docker compose. Logs and failure messages can therefore name the wrong executable. Build the labels from COMPOSE.

+compose_label="${COMPOSE[*]}"
+log "using compose: $compose_label"

Docker CLI docker psdefault container ID truncation and--no-trunc full ID behavior

💡 Result:

The Docker CLI command docker ps truncates container IDs by default to a 12-character hexadecimal prefix [1]. This truncation is applied to improve readability and provide a concise overview of container status [1]. To display the full 64-character container ID, you can use the --no-trunc flag with the command [1][2]: docker ps --no-trunc Key details regarding this behavior include: Default Truncation: Without the --no-trunc flag, the container ID column is limited to a short prefix [1]. While this is usually sufficient for human-readable output and basic identification, these short IDs may be ambiguous in environments with many containers [1]. Full ID Output: The --no-trunc flag ensures that the entire 64-character unique identifier is displayed [1]. This is particularly useful for automation, scripting, or when unique identification is required across a large set of containers [1]. Scripting and Automation: To extract only the full container IDs for use in other scripts or commands, you can combine --no-trunc with other flags such as -q (quiet) or use the --format option [1][3]: # To list only full IDs docker ps -q --no-trunc # To format specific output (e.g., just the ID) docker ps --no-trunc --format "{{.ID}}" The --no-trunc flag also affects other columns in the output, such as preventing truncation of the COMMAND or other details that might otherwise be cut off to fit the terminal width [4][1][2].

Do not delete container metadata by a truncated ID prefix.

docker ps returns 12-character IDs by default, and this code accepts them. Use --no-trunc, require 64-character IDs, and remove the /var/lib/docker/containers/<id>* operand. The wildcard can delete metadata for another container sharing the prefix.

Wait for the scheduled restart before reporting Docker readiness.

CorruptContainerWipeScript schedules its restart one second later. The first docker info call can succeed before that restart begins. Krunkit.Start then continues and marks the runtime ready while the scheduled restart can still drop Docker connections.

Make the cleanup report completion only after the restart has run. Then poll Docker readiness after that completion signal.
