refactor(hooks): bound subprocess lifecycle in pre-commit/pre-push runners - #500
Conversation
…nners scripts/hooks/shared.mjs's runNodeScript/runLocalBinary used spawnSync with no timeout and no process-group cleanup: a hung child (e.g. a stuck tsgo or lint-staged process) blocked the hook indefinitely, and parent-signal delivery (Ctrl-C, SIGTERM) did not reliably terminate detached descendants. Add runBounded(): an async, spawn-based runner with a timeout watchdog, SIGTERM-then-SIGKILL escalation, process-group termination (falls back to direct child.kill when a group is unavailable, e.g. Windows), and signal forwarding for SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP so the outer hook process can't outlive its children. runNodeScript/runLocalBinary become thin async wrappers over it, preserving their existing exit-code contract for callers; runNodeScriptDetailed/runLocalBinaryDetailed expose the full result (status, signal, timedOut, interrupted) for callers that need it. This is a breaking change to shared.mjs's calling convention (sync to async), so every current caller is updated in the same commit: pre-commit.mjs and scripts/ci-prepush-lowend.mjs (runCheck/main made async, every call site awaited) now correctly await results instead of treating a Promise as a synchronous exit code. pre-push.mjs keeps its existing --prepush-evidence-file temp-file evidence contract unchanged -- only the two runNodeScript call sites gained the required await. Out of scope: a further branch has reworked pre-push.mjs, verify- outgoing.mjs, and check-git-diff.mjs onto a new env-var/exact-tree evidence contract (WORLD_SCRIPT_PREPUSH_UPDATES/_EXACT_TREE/_EXACT_FILES). That is a separate, larger architectural change coupling ci-prepush- lowend.mjs's evidence resolution to a new design and is deferred to its own dedicated wave rather than folded in here. README test-count badges resynced via `pnpm run sync:readme` for the added test file (578 files / 6987+ tests). Validated: full `pnpm run ci:prepush`, `pnpm run lint`, `pnpm run typecheck` (4-checker), and the new tests/unit/hooks/shared.test.ts all pass.

Review Summary
This PR introduces robust subprocess lifecycle management for git hooks, replacing synchronous spawnSync calls with an async spawn-based approach that includes timeout watchdogs, signal forwarding, and process group termination. The architectural improvement is sound, but there are 5 blocking issues that must be addressed before merge:
Critical Issues Found
- Race condition in process group termination when
child.pidis undefined - Error handling bug in cleanup completion check (missing EPERM case)
- Infinite loop risk in
finishAfterCleanupwithout retry limits - Resource leak if signal handler cleanup throws
- Logic error in stdin error checking (
ERR_STREAM_DESTROYEDcheck)
Positives
✅ Well-tested timeout and signal handling behavior
✅ Proper async/await migration across all callers
✅ Comprehensive Windows platform support
✅ Clear documentation of breaking changes
Action Required: Address the 5 critical findings before merging to prevent runtime failures in edge cases.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** On Windows, `cleanupComplete()` always returns true without checking whether `taskkill /t` actually terminated the child tree, so `runBounded()` resolves immediately after issuing `taskkill /f` while descendants can still be alive. The hook can therefore outlive subprocess descendants on the platform where process-group signaling is unavailable.
**Triggers:** When a Windows child process has spawned descendants that do not exit synchronously with the leader.
**Suggested fix:** Track the child-tree termination to completion on Windows, or wait for the leader and poll the process tree before resolving after `taskkill /f`.

**issue (bug_risk):** The declaration file exports only `BoundedResult` and `runBounded`, while the runtime module also exports `ensureDependencyState`, `runNodeScript`, `runNodeScriptDetailed`, `runLocalBinary`, and `runLocalBinaryDetailed`. TypeScript consumers importing any of those runtime exports receive an incomplete module contract and cannot use the newly advertised detailed wrappers without type errors.
**Triggers:** When a TypeScript consumer imports the hook helpers through `shared.mjs`.
**Suggested fix:** Declare every runtime export, including the detailed and exit-code wrapper signatures, in `shared.d.mts`.

Consolidated E1 remediation for PR #500's first review epoch, covering every current-material finding from Sourcery, CodeRabbit, and CodeAnt (Amazon Q's 5 findings were evaluated and classified as false positives with evidence -- see PR thread replies): - runNodeScriptDetailed/runLocalBinaryDetailed spread options before forcing cwd to root, silently discarding any caller-provided cwd. shared.d.mts now advertises cwd as a valid option on these wrappers, which would have made the mismatch worse for TypeScript callers. Preserve options.cwd when given; root remains only the default and still resolves the script/binary file path itself. (CodeAnt) - shared.d.mts declared only BoundedResult/runBounded; the other five runtime exports (ensureDependencyState, runNodeScript(Detailed), runLocalBinary(Detailed)) had no type declarations at all. Declared all of them against a shared RunOptions type. (Sourcery) - cleanupComplete() unconditionally returned true on Windows without verifying taskkill actually terminated the child tree, so runBounded could resolve while descendants were still alive. Poll tasklist for the leader PID instead of assuming taskkill's exit implies cleanup. (Sourcery) - shared.test.ts asserted the whole spawn+timeout+cleanup cycle finishes under a fixed 900ms wall-clock bound -- flaky on slow or cold CI/Windows runners. Removed it; result.timedOut already proves the behavior under test. CodeRabbit's suggested replacement (asserting status !== 0) was verified incorrect for this specific scenario -- the child intentionally exits 0 on SIGTERM to prove timedOut is tracked independently of a clean exit status -- so a correct replacement was written instead. (CodeRabbit) - cleanupComplete()'s ESRCH-only check treated an EPERM kill(pid, 0) result (group still exists, signal merely not permitted) the same as ESRCH (group is gone), which would under-report incomplete cleanup. Low-reachability for self-spawned children but a harmless, more-correct guard. Amazon Q's 5 findings on the same commit were investigated and rejected as false positives, each with concrete evidence: (1) the "race condition" on child.pid predates an already-present guard and Node's synchronous error-handler registration before any possible async error emission; (2) the "infinite loop" claim ignores that cleanupDeadline is a fixed value, bounding the poll to ~1s under any normal clock; (3) the "resource leak" claim has handler removal already completing before resolveResult is called in the actual code order, and Promise resolution cannot synchronously throw into the calling frame; (4) partially addressed by the EPERM guard above, though the underlying "polls indefinitely" premise is false per (2); (5) empirically disproven by spawning a real destroyed-stream write in Node -- ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED is the actual `.code`, not `.name`, confirming the existing check was already correct. Validated: full `pnpm run ci:prepush`, `pnpm run lint`, `pnpm run typecheck` (4-checker), and tests/unit/hooks/shared.test.ts all pass.

…n types, fail closed on live stdin errors Second review-loop epoch for PR #500, combining a genuinely new, independently-identified logic error with a real (if narrower) issue this PR's own prior fix round had left unaddressed: - cleanupComplete()'s EPERM handling from the previous commit had the polarity backwards: the QNBS-v3 comment correctly stated "EPERM means the group still exists," but the code returned true (cleanup COMPLETE) for that exact case, contradicting its own comment and potentially reporting a still-alive process group as cleaned up. The original pre-fix code (implicit false via `=== 'ESRCH'`) already handled EPERM correctly; reverted to that, since only ESRCH is positive proof the group is gone and the bounded ~1s deadline already covers every other outcome safely. (Graphite) - shared.d.mts's single RunOptions type included `root` on runBounded itself, but runBounded's runtime destructuring never consumes that key -- split into BoundedOptions (runBounded's real surface) and RunOptions extends BoundedOptions with root (the wrapper functions' surface), matching what each function actually reads. - The stdin 'error' handler treated EPIPE/ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED as always benign, even while the child was still running. That masks a genuine partial-input-delivery failure as success whenever the child's own exit code doesn't happen to reflect it -- a fail-open gap in exactly the evidence-delivery path this file exists to make observable. Track child exit via a dedicated 'exit' listener; only treat those error codes as benign once the child has already exited, otherwise still request termination as an unexpected resource error. Added a regression test for the wrapper cwd-vs-root separation (runNodeScriptDetailed with distinct root/cwd, verified via a marker file written to the actual working directory). A dedicated regression test for the "child still alive, stdin errors" branch was evaluated and dropped: empirical probing showed process.stdin.destroy() in a child kept alive by a timer does not reliably surface an EPIPE to the parent within any practical test window (a Node-internal timing behavior, confirmed by two contrasting probes -- ~150ms without a keep-alive timer in the child, no error at all within 3s with one) -- forcing a test to wait out a multi-second timeout to observe it would reintroduce the exact wall-clock flakiness already removed from this file's tests in the prior commit. The fix's own logic remains correct independent of how promptly Node happens to surface the underlying error. README test-count badges resynced via `pnpm run sync:readme` for the added test (578 files / 6988+ tests). Validated: full `pnpm run ci:prepush`, `pnpm run lint`, `pnpm run typecheck` (4-checker), and tests/unit/hooks/shared.test.ts all pass.

…ization Consolidated remediation for the #503 review epoch. Reconstructs the isolated-worktree dependency environment via a real `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --offline` instead of symlinking the live checkout's node_modules. Root cluster A -- exact-tree dependency-resolution soundness: The original design symlinked the real checkout's node_modules into the isolated worktree, reasoning a full reinstall was the unbounded cost this program had repeatedly avoided. Review, and the empirical investigation it prompted, found this unsound: pnpm workspace-package symlinks (node_modules/@domain/<pkg>) are relative, so a whole-directory symlink transitively resolves them back into the live, possibly- uncommitted packages/* -- confirmed directly (readlink -f resolved into the live checkout, not the isolated tree). A second, deeper leak was found nested at node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules/@domain/desktop-contracts, proving a hand-patched subset of the link graph could never be trusted exhaustive; package-local packages/*/node_modules directories would also simply be absent from a fresh worktree under that approach. Fixed by running a real, frozen-lockfile, offline pnpm install from inside the isolated worktree -- pnpm's own algorithm, not a reconstruction, so it is structurally correct for every link class (top-level, nested .pnpm, package-local, transitive), not just the ones this round happened to find. --offline never touches the network; a package missing from the local store fails the install, mapped to UNKNOWN, never a silently-wrong PASS. Verified end-to-end against this actual repository (real commit, real isolated worktree, real install, real tsgo): PASS, with the install completing in ~1m22s-2m20s on this hardware using the warm local store -- fully acceptable given Part 2b is opt-in. The now-unnecessary dependencyState precondition (it only ever guarded the symlink design's soundness) is removed rather than kept as inert logic; #502's dependencyState remains the sole authority for its own distinct question, unchanged. Root cluster B -- bounded process/result semantics: - resolveRef used a raw, timeout-less spawnSync, conflicting with the #500 bounded-subprocess authority, and the real CLI path crashed outright (resolveRef(ref) called without its dependencies argument, which the function then dereferenced unconditionally). Fixed by reusing signing-core's already-bounded (5s timeout), output-capturing runGit -- a distinct, pre-existing (#494) wrapper for exactly this job, since runBounded's own contract is inherit-stdio-only and structurally cannot capture stdout. main() now threads a real dependencies parameter through to resolveRef and the verification path, closing the exact gap that let the crash ship uncaught by helper-only tests. - Split the single bounded-result check into two correctly-scoped predicates: boundedCommandFailed (worktree/install lifecycle -- any non-zero or unreadable exit fails the step outright) and tsgoResultUnknown (only the tsgo result -- a genuine numeric non-zero status is a real FAIL; error/timeout/interrupt/signal/non-numeric- status mean UNKNOWN, so a signal, including an external OOM kill, can never read as a false FAIL). The prior single conflated helper broke lifecycle-failure detection for numeric non-zero exits. - verify-exact-tree.d.mts now reuses shared.d.mts's real BoundedResult type instead of an inaccurate GitResult-shaped declaration. - repoRoot is canonicalized to an absolute path before any git/install call, so a relative caller-supplied root can't produce an ambiguous cwd. - Worktree cleanup now unconditionally sweeps the mkdtemp-created directory after a successful git worktree remove, not only on failure -- git deregisters and clears the worktree's own content but leaves the pre-existing (now-empty) directory in place, which was accumulating empty leftovers under os.tmpdir() across runs. Root cluster C -- routine regression admission: .mjs node:test tooling suites (dependency-state.test.mjs, verify-exact-tree.test.mjs) fall outside Vitest's .ts/.tsx-only include glob and were never run in CI at all. Added a `test:node` script and a dedicated CI step in the quality matrix job -- the one authoritative place these run routinely, not ad-hoc local-only invocation. This retroactively covers Part 2a's dependency-state.test.mjs too, with zero touch to that file. Tests: three deliberate tiers. Fast DI-based unit coverage (bounded- result semantics, fail-closed cleanup including the leftover-directory fix, aggregation, ref resolution, and the real main() CLI entry point with realistic injected dependencies -- specifically because the resolveRef bug was invisible to helper-only tests). A real git worktree + real, zero-external-dependency pnpm workspace fixture (root -> demo-pkg -> inner-pkg) proving root, package-local, and transitive workspace-link resolution lands inside the isolated tree via direct file-content comparison against a deliberately live-mutated checkout -- the load-bearing regression proof, strong by construction (a leak would read the live, wrong value). A manual, one-time, real-repository smoke proof against this actual repo and a real commit, documented as evidence rather than run routinely (the real install alone measures over a minute on this hardware). False-positive note: CodeRabbit's "duplicate `shared` declaration" claim on the earlier #502 epoch did not match its exact-HEAD code (verified via grep + a clean typecheck/test run) and was resolved with that evidence at the time; unrelated to this remediation.
