PR 010 F1: Settle post-hardening failures safely - #25
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe process transport now performs total cleanup after post-spawn hardening failures. It absorbs cleanup errors, preserves the original rejection, and adds isolated adversarial tests for streams, termination, leaked processes, and unhandled rejections. ChangesProcess hardening cleanup
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR safely normalizes post-hardening failure settlement, but one adversarial test probe can mishandle an asynchronous child-process error and crash instead of reporting a test result. This is a bounded test-reliability risk that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Add an error listener to the probe child.
The promise settles only on close. If spawn reports an asynchronous failure, the ChildProcess emits error with no listener, and Node throws that error inside the test process. That failure mode hides the test result. Handle error and resolve with a non-zero code.
🛡️ Proposed fix
probe.on('close', (code: number | null) => {
resolve({ code, stdout, stderr });
});
+ probe.on('error', (error: Error) => {
+ resolve({ code: null, stdout, stderr: `${stderr}${String(error)}` });
+ });📝 Committable suggestion

When termination throws before sending a signal—as the added terminate-fault scenario does when hasEnded() reads the hostile accessors—this catch proceeds directly to cleanup and rejection, leaving the long-running agent process alive. The probe hides this because it subsequently sends SIGKILL to every spawned child itself before reporting LEAKED, so that assertion only verifies the probe's cleanup. Attempt a direct-child kill through the captured intrinsic here before allowing the invocation to settle.

Purpose
Stacked validation PR for
PR010-HARDENING-FAILURE-SETTLEMENTon protected parent PR #10.This PR is intentionally narrow and quarantined.
It targets:
pr-010/commander-claude-bridgeIt does NOT target
main.It is a sibling of PR #22, not a child of PR #22.
Finding
PR010-HARDENING-FAILURE-SETTLEMENTClassification:
CURRENT P3After mandatory post-spawn dispatch hardening failed, asynchronous termination/cleanup could itself throw before the outer
invokeAgentProcessrejection executed.Under hostile runtime conditions this could leave the caller-facing Promise pending and create a discarded rejected internal Promise.
Repair
The bounded repair normalizes the hardening-failure settlement paths so that termination and cleanup failures cannot prevent settlement with the original hardening failure.
The repair also adds adversarial regression coverage for the relevant hostile-runtime paths.
Changed files exactly:
src/adapters/process-transport.tstests/adapters/process-transport.test.tsNo unrelated files changed.
