Summary

Wave C of the PR #491 program-continuity reconstruction ("S2 process lifecycle"), extracted from h1-d-intel-qualification's current tip.

  • scripts/hooks/shared.mjs gains runBounded(): an async, spawn-based subprocess runner with a timeout watchdog, SIGTERM→SIGKILL escalation, process-group termination, and parent-signal forwarding (SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP) — so a hung child (stuck tsgo, lint-staged, etc.) can no longer block a git hook indefinitely, and the outer hook process can't outlive its children.
  • runNodeScript/runLocalBinary become async wrappers over runBounded(), preserving their existing exit-code contract; 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 → 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). pre-push.mjs keeps its existing --prepush-evidence-file temp-file evidence contract fully unchanged — only the two runNodeScript call sites gained the required await.

Out of scope (deferred to a dedicated later wave): 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), which also requires reworking ci-prepush-lowend.mjs's evidence resolution. That's a separate, larger architectural change and is intentionally not folded into this PR.

README test-count badges resynced via pnpm run sync:readme (578 files / 6987+ tests) for the added test file.

Test plan

  • pnpm exec vitest run tests/unit/hooks/shared.test.ts — 3/3 pass (timeout, foreground-child, and repeated-signal force-cleanup cases)
  • pnpm run ci:prepush — full local admission gate passes end-to-end, confirming the async orchestration in ci-prepush-lowend.mjs is correct
  • pnpm run lint — clean (0 warnings; 6 pre-existing infos in an unrelated file, untouched by this diff)
  • pnpm run typecheck (4-checker, CI-equivalent) — clean
  • CI: full pipeline (Build, Quality Gate ×2, E2E, E2E Deep, Lighthouse, Storybook, Visual Regression, CodeQL, Security Audit, Verified Signatures)

Summary by Sourcery

Bound Git hook subprocess lifecycles so stalled or interrupted checks terminate cleanly and cannot pass silently.

New Features:

  • Bound Git hook subprocesses with timeouts, signal forwarding, process-group cleanup, and SIGTERM-to-SIGKILL escalation.
  • Expose detailed subprocess outcomes for callers that need timeout, signal, and interruption state.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent stalled or interrupted hook checks from blocking indefinitely or being reported as successful.
  • Ensure pre-commit and pre-push orchestration preserves subprocess failure and cancellation statuses.

Enhancements:

  • Migrate hook runners and low-end pre-push checks to asynchronous subprocess execution while preserving existing evidence handling and exit-code contracts.

Documentation:

  • Synchronize README test metrics to reflect the additional hook coverage.

Tests:

  • Add unit coverage for timeout handling, foreground-child cleanup, repeated interruption, and separate script-root and working-directory handling.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Bound Git hook subprocesses so stalled or interrupted checks cannot block indefinitely

What Changed

  • Pre-commit and pre-push checks now wait for subprocess results asynchronously and preserve failure statuses.
  • Hook subprocesses stop after a timeout, clean up descendant processes, and escalate termination when they ignore the initial stop request.
  • Interrupting a hook now cancels the check without treating it as successful; repeated interrupts force cleanup.
  • Added coverage for timeout handling, foreground children, and interrupted subprocesses.
  • Updated documented test totals to include the new coverage.

Impact

✅ Fewer indefinitely hanging Git hooks
✅ Cleaner termination of stalled checks
✅ Interrupted checks no longer pass silently

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated project test metrics throughout the README to reflect the latest test count and coverage.
  • Reliability Improvements

    • Improved pre-commit and pre-push verification with more reliable asynchronous execution.
    • Added bounded command handling to prevent stalled checks and ensure timed-out processes are cleaned up properly.
    • Enhanced reporting for failed, interrupted, or unavailable verification commands.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for timeout handling, child-process termination, cancellation, and forced cleanup scenarios.

…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.

Reviewer's Guide

Refactors hook subprocess execution to an async, bounded lifecycle model: children now have timeout and process-tree cleanup guarantees, parent signals are forwarded, detailed termination results are available, and all existing hook callers are migrated to await the new API while preserving pre-push evidence behavior.

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

  1. Race condition in process group termination when child.pid is undefined
  2. Error handling bug in cleanup completion check (missing EPERM case)
  3. Infinite loop risk in finishAfterCleanup without retry limits
  4. Resource leak if signal handler cleanup throws
  5. Logic error in stdin error checking (ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED check)

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.

+    const cleanupComplete = () => {
+      if (!child.pid || process.platform === 'win32') return true;
+      try {
+        process.kill(-child.pid, 0);
</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_to_address>

<issue_to_address>
**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.

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.
