Summary

Repairs the independently confirmed PR #10 P2 finding where a poisoned EventEmitter.prototype.emit could fabricate, suppress, or reorder transport-owned process lifecycle events.

The repair:

  • captures EventEmitter.prototype.emit at module load;
  • installs the captured intrinsic as an immutable own data property on transport-owned child-process and stdio emitters;
  • applies the same protection to the internally spawned Windows taskkill helper;
  • adds adversarial regression coverage for fabricated and suppressed lifecycle events.

Scope

This stacked PR repairs this finding only.

It does not modify the protected PR #10 branch directly and does not address unrelated findings.

Validation

  • Claude independent validation: PASS
  • typecheck: PASS
  • lint: PASS
  • test suite: 1,007 passed, 8 platform-specific skipped
  • build: PASS
  • git diff --check: PASS

Parent PR:
#10

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability when starting and stopping child processes.
    • Ensured cleanup continues correctly when process lifecycle events behave unexpectedly.
    • Prevented invalid lifecycle signals from affecting process completion or failure handling.
    • Preserved process-group termination behavior across supported platforms.
    • Improved handling of child-process output and stream errors.
    • Enhanced cleanup after process termination, reducing the risk of lingering processes or resources.
    • Preserved the original failure reason when cleanup encounters additional errors.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The transport protects spawned child processes and stdio streams from altered EventEmitter.prototype.emit implementations. It adds cleanup for hardening failures and tests asynchronous errors, lifecycle settlement, termination, output limits, and stream errors.

Changes

Event dispatch protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protect spawned process emitters
src/adapters/process-transport.ts
The transport captures the intrinsic emit method and installs protected own methods on the Windows helper, primary child, and available stdio streams before lifecycle handling.
Clean up hardening failures
src/adapters/process-transport.ts
The transport absorbs temporary spawn errors, reaps failed helpers, terminates the primary child, removes listeners, closes streams, and rejects with the original or fallback error.
Validate protected lifecycle handling
tests/adapters/process-transport.test.ts
Tests isolate transport imports and verify asynchronous errors, prototype-poisoned lifecycle events, cleanup, inherited-stream handling, termination, output limits, and stream-error behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to a0661

The PR hardens process lifecycle event dispatch and passes the listed checks, but probe spawn failures can still terminate the test worker instead of reporting a controlled failure; this is a bounded test-reliability risk requiring owner follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit guards each child process,

And seals each stream in place.
False events cannot settle work,
True exits still set the state.
Cleanup follows every failure.

P2 Badge Contain asynchronous spawn errors during failed hardening

When protectChildDispatch throws for a child whose spawn later reports an asynchronous failure (for example, an invalid executable yielding ENOENT), no child error listener has been installed yet. terminate returns immediately because child.pid is undefined, and this callback then removes all listeners; the subsequent native error event is therefore unhandled and can crash the host process instead of merely rejecting the returned promise. Install and retain an error listener while this cleanup path reaps the child; the analogous reapUnprotectedHelper path needs the same containment.

Reject the probe promise on a spawn error.

The promise settles only on close. If the probe spawn fails, probe emits error with no listener attached. Node then throws the unhandled error event and ends the vitest worker, and the promise never settles.
