Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved process startup by resolving executables from absolute paths, the server working directory, or the system PATH.
    • Prevented executables in the daemon’s current directory and relative PATH entries from incorrectly taking precedence.
    • Improved compatibility for systemd, Shawl, and WinSW services, including legacy relative paths and unresolved Windows commands.
    • Added clearer diagnostics when programs are missing or exit immediately.
  • Documentation

    • Documented executable resolution, service registration behavior, Shawl diagnostics, and Docker/Podman home-directory configuration.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Startup commands now resolve against the process working directory and PATH. Systemd, Shawl, and WinSW use the shared resolver. Windows services preserve unresolved commands for runtime lookup and report missing executables.

Changes

Executable resolution and supervisor startup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Executable resolution and cross-platform coverage
internal/processmanager/executable.go, internal/processmanager/executable_test.go
The resolver rejects daemon-directory executables, searches absolute PATH entries, and checks the process working directory. Tests cover relative paths, absolute paths, PATH fallback, precedence, daemon-directory exclusion, and missing commands.
Supervisor startup integration
internal/processmanager/systemd.go, internal/processmanager/shawl_windows.go, internal/processmanager/winsw_windows.go, internal/processmanager/systemd_internal_test.go
Systemd, Shawl, and WinSW use executable resolution when building startup configurations. Shawl preserves unresolved commands and reports missing executables after immediate service termination. Systemd tests reflect updated lookup errors.
Resolution and container path documentation
internal/processmanager/README.md
The documentation describes supervisor lookup, legacy service re-registration, Shawl diagnostics, and Docker and Podman home_dir behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2648e

The executable-resolution behavior is documented incompletely and inaccurately for unresolved Windows commands, which could mislead operators configuring services. Correct the two documentation statements before merge.

- Line 58: Update the executable lookup around exec.LookPath to reject
exec.ErrDot rather than treating it as a successful result, ensuring a relative
executable in the daemon’s current directory cannot override a valid PATH
executable. Use an explicit PATH-only lookup where needed, and add a Windows
regression test covering same-named executables in the daemon directory and
PATH.

In `@internal/processmanager/README.md`:
- Around line 50-51: Update the README description of command resolution to say
paths are resolved relative to the process working directory, and state that the
server root is used when no process work directory is configured. Keep the Linux
and Windows executable examples unchanged.

Qualify the absolute-path claim for unresolved Windows commands.

This paragraph says that all three supervisors register an absolute path. Shawl.buildServicePlan only replaces the command when resolution succeeds; Windows managers retain the original command when resolution fails. State this exception here as well.
