Summary

Four related fixes in the task runner and Vis's affected selection:

  • External task inputs. File-set inputs can resolve outside the workspace root. file:// and glob:// patterns are resolved through one shared helper, and external files are keyed workspace-relative so cache keys stay portable. Changes to those files now count toward the task hash.
  • Affected detection. vis affected and vis run --affected use the same external-input ownership map as the hasher. Changes are detected by comparing content hashes with a snapshot stored beside the cache entries. A first run with no snapshot treats the owning projects as affected rather than assuming they are clean.
  • Remote cache resilience. A 502, connection error, timeout, or other transport failure now degrades to a cache miss instead of failing the task. Both the HTTP and REAPI backends are wrapped at the factory boundary. One console-facing warning is emitted per run; the caller's onUploadError hook still observes every failure for debug logging.
  • Local cache setup. Cache.ensureReady() creates the cache directory once. If that fails (EACCES, EROFS, ENOSPC, ENOTDIR), the cache disables itself for the run and reports the directory and error, and tasks continue without caching.

Tests

  • @visulima/task-runner: full suite 1031 passed, 16 skipped; tsc --noEmit passed; ESLint on changed files passed.
  • @visulima/vis: relevant affected/run/cache suites 533 passed; tsc --noEmit passed.

Notes

  • The full Vis suite was not run end-to-end; the affected, run, and cache suites were.
  • Vis ESLint could not complete in the local environment because the process hung or was cancelled under machine load. No lint errors were reported before cancellation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Affected-project detection now includes changes to external files used by projects and their dependents.
    • External-input state is tracked between runs, with configurable storage and reporting of changed inputs.
    • Run cache directories now consistently respect configured, shared-worktree, and branch-scoped settings.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Remote-cache read and write failures now degrade gracefully to cache misses while reporting diagnostics.
    • Local cache setup failures no longer prevent tasks from completing; caching is disabled for the affected run.
    • Remote-cache upload errors are forwarded to configured hooks and logged for troubleshooting.

Walkthrough

The task runner now handles local and remote cache failures without stopping task execution. It also detects external fileset changes, uses them in affected-project selection, and stores hash snapshots in the Vis cache directory.

Changes

Cache resilience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote cache failure handling
packages/tooling/task-runner/src/backends/*, packages/tooling/task-runner/src/default-task-runner.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/src/task-orchestrator.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/__tests__/unit/backends/*, packages/tooling/task-runner/__tests__/integration/e2e-runner.test.ts, packages/tooling/vis/src/commands/run/run-remote-cache.ts
Remote read and write failures are reported and converted to cache misses or unsuccessful cache operations. The runner invokes error callbacks for each failure and emits at most one remote-cache diagnostic per run.
Local cache setup and disabled behavior
packages/tooling/task-runner/src/cache.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/src/default-task-runner.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/__tests__/unit/cache.test.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/__tests__/unit/default-task-runner.test.ts
Cache setup now occurs through ensureReady(). If directory creation fails, the cache is disabled, setup errors are reported, and cache reads and writes become misses or no-ops.

External inputs in affected-project selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
External input collection and hashing
packages/tooling/task-runner/src/external-inputs.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/src/task-hasher.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/src/index.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/__tests__/unit/external-inputs.test.ts, packages/tooling/task-runner/__tests__/unit/affected-external-inputs.test.ts
External fileset patterns are collected and content-hashed. Task hashes use workspace-relative keys, and tests cover input collection, hash changes, and snapshot comparisons.
Affected-project comparison and state persistence
packages/tooling/task-runner/src/affected.ts, packages/tooling/vis/src/task/affected-selection.ts, packages/tooling/vis/src/cache/cache-directory.ts, packages/tooling/vis/src/commands/affected/handler.ts, packages/tooling/vis/src/commands/run/*, packages/tooling/vis/__tests__/task/affected-selection.test.ts
Affected-project selection attributes changed external inputs to owning projects, saves current hashes, and reports changed patterns. Run and affected commands pass the resolved cache directory and workspace input configuration to selection.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2e09b

A failed persistent task can leave its project out of a later affected run. Fix that baseline handling before merging; also address the Windows filtering and snapshot-write gaps.

246-258: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Concurrent ensureReady() calls can invoke onSetupError more than once.

#ready and #disabled are set only after mkdir settles. Two concurrent calls both pass the guard at Line 247. If mkdir fails, both call onSetupError. The current runner calls ensureReady() once, so this does not trigger today. The doc comment says "Calling it more than once is safe", which concurrent calls do not fully satisfy.

Memoize the setup promise to make the guarantee hold.

Proposed fix
-    public async ensureReady(): Promise<void> {
-        if (this.#ready || this.#disabled) {
-            return;
-        }
-
-        try {
-            await mkdir(this.#cacheDirectory, { recursive: true });
-            this.#ready = true;
-        } catch (error) {
-            this.#disabled = true;
-            this.#onSetupError?.(this.#cacheDirectory, error);
-        }
-    }
+    public ensureReady(): Promise<void> {
+        this.#readyPromise ??= (async () => {
+            try {
+                await mkdir(this.#cacheDirectory, { recursive: true });
+                this.#ready = true;
+            } catch (error) {
+                this.#disabled = true;
+                this.#onSetupError?.(this.#cacheDirectory, error);
+            }
+        })();
+
+        return this.#readyPromise;
+    }

Add #readyPromise: Promise<void> | undefined; as a class field.

Preserve the read/write operation when forwarding cache errors.

HttpRemoteCache.retrieveAction invokes onUploadError for read failures. The factory always forwards those errors to report(error, "write"). Consumers of onError can therefore misclassify read failures.

Document that this label is best-effort, or separate the read and write reporting hooks.

186-216: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Warn on unusually broad external filesets.

External filesets intentionally support paths outside the workspace, so file:/// is valid configuration rather than a containment violation. However, it resolves to /, and the current code traverses and hashes every readable file below that root on each invocation. collectFiles skips ignored child directory names but has no file-count or size bound.

Add a diagnostic for unusually broad external patterns. Do not silently truncate the fileset, because all declared files must remain part of the hash. If a bound is added, fail with a clear configuration error when it is exceeded.

File-set inputs could name files outside the workspace, but their
resulting cache keys embedded the absolute checkout path, so the same
input produced a different key on every machine and an external change
was not comparable across runs.

Resolve file:// and glob:// patterns through one shared resolver, walk
the external directory, and key the files relative to the workspace.
External and in-workspace inputs now share a deterministic spelling.
Changed files are derived from git, so edits under a directory outside
the workspace never reached the project mapping. External file-set
inputs now carry their owning projects alongside the cache key, and
affected detection compares their content hashes with the previous run
to decide which projects changed.

The snapshot is stored under the workspace data directory. A first run
with no snapshot treats the owning projects as affected rather than
assuming their external state is unchanged.
A 502, a dropped connection, a timeout, or any other transport error
from the remote cache surfaced as a failed task even though the task
itself never ran. Remote caching is an optimisation, so a failed read
or write now degrades to a miss and the task runs normally.

The backend factory wraps both the HTTP and REAPI backends, converting
every thrown operation into a miss and reporting through one shared
sink. The reporter fires once per run, so a flapping cache produces a
single warning instead of one per task. Errors raised by the task
command do not pass through this boundary.
Creating the cache directory can fail with EACCES (or EROFS, ENOSPC,
ENOTDIR) and previously either crashed setup or surfaced later as a
per-task write failure. The Cache constructor now creates the directory
once; on failure it disables the instance for the process, reports the
directory and the error through onSetupError, and leaves every read a
miss and every write a no-op.

Because all local cache callers construct Cache, the fallback applies
in one place rather than being patched per operation. Tasks continue to
run normally without caching.
