Release Notes
Fixed
- No more stale
.git/index.lock from Aura's source-control poll —
the 2 s git status poll could exceed the worker's 8 s wall-clock
timeout on slow filesystems, at which point the worker SIGKILLed
git mid-write and orphaned .git/index.lock. The next git add
in any terminal would then fail with Unable to create '.git/index.lock': File exists until the user removed it manually.
Multiple changes harden this end-to-end:
REFRESH_TIMEOUT raised 8 s → 30 s so a slow git status no
longer trips the kill path on a normal workload.- On timeout, the worker now sends
SIGTERM and waits up to 500 ms
for git to release its lock cleanly before escalating to
SIGKILL (Unix only — Command::kill is the fallback elsewhere).
- After a forced kill, the worker sweeps
.git/index.lock if it
appeared during the killed run, so an orphan can't survive past
the operation that created it. Pre-existing locks (from another
process) are left alone.
- The 2 s auto-refresh tick now skips firing while
.git/index.lock is present, so an external git add running
in a terminal can't race Aura's poll.
Internal
- New process-wide
git_cli_lock() mutex serializes every git
subprocess that originates from Aura — both the async worker and
the synchronous GitRepo write paths (stage_file, unstage_file,
commit, checkout_branch, all stash ops, …) take the same lock,
so internal git ops can't race each other either.
- New
GitRepo::is_locked() uses gix's authoritative git_dir(),
so the lock check works in worktrees and submodules where .git
is a file rather than a directory.
- New
libc dep (cfg(unix)-gated on the tui crate) for raw
SIGTERM delivery.
