Summary

Abandoned responses-state.json.ocx.<pid>.<seq>.tmp files could accumulate without bound — a field report described ~19.6 GB on one machine, growing per reboot.

recoverStaleResponseStateTemps was already correct. The defect was when it runs and what it skips:

  1. It runs once per process, at load, before that process writes anything. Every schedulePersist site (:897, :929, :956, :971, :1214) is downstream of ensureLoaded, so a process that abandons a temp has already had its only look. The 15-minute grace then hides the temp its predecessor's crash just produced, and maxCleanups caps one pass below a large backlog. A restart loop accumulates monotonically.
  2. A reused pid makes the skip permanent. The liveness check skips a temp whose pid is alive, and the 15-minute grace is a lower bound that never expires that skip. After a reboot the original writer's pid is routinely reused, so the file is skipped forever — which matches the reported per-reboot growth.

This PR fixes both:

  • Registers the reclaim on the state-store sweeper's liveness tick, so it repeats without depending on serving traffic. Not the TTL tick: sweepExpiredOnWrite puts sweepExpired on hot write paths, where a directory scan does not belong.
  • Adds a boot floor: a temp older than the current boot cannot be owned by the pid being probed, so the probe is retired. This does not claim the file is provably dead — the unconditional 15-minute grace stays ahead of it and remains the safety floor, which is what keeps it sound under shared-volume containers, suspend-excluding uptime, and network mtime skew. An anomalous (future/non-finite) boot time disables the floor rather than being clamped.
  • Treats ENOENT as reclaimed, not failed, so two proxies sharing a config dir stop reporting "in use or locked" for a file nobody holds.
  • Adds a wall-clock scan deadline for the periodic path. An entry cap bounds syscalls, not time: 512 synchronous lstats is 2-5 ms on APFS but seconds on an NFS-mounted config dir, which would stall in-flight streams.

Existing safety gates are unchanged: exact basename, regular-file check, 15-minute grace, unlink-only removal, and never touching this process's own temps.

Verification

Full suite run on a separate machine (macmini-cf) at 48b0c2a70:

  • bun run test13296 pass, 8 fail, 850 files. All 8 failures are pre-existing and environmental: 1 update-npm-cache-preflight (proven identical at the unmodified base 59964ad77: 10 pass / 1 fail) and 7 GUI react module loads from an uninstalled gui/node_modules.
  • bun test tests/responses-state.test.ts tests/state-store-sweeper.test.ts125 pass, 0 fail, 349 assertions.
  • bun run typecheck → clean.
  • bun test tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts → 13 pass (the registration sits on a Lab-protected import path, so this was re-verified rather than assumed).
  • bun run privacy:scan → passed.

New regression tests cover: reclaim with no continuation access at all (the defect), pid-reuse across boot, the grace outranking the boot floor, this process's own temps, anomalous boot times, ENOENT-as-reclaimed, and the scan deadline.

One test caught a real bug during development: the first draft clamped an anomalous boot time to now, which would have made the floor maximally aggressive instead of disabling it.

Checklist

  • Focused regression tests added next to the existing tests for this subsystem
  • bun run typecheck clean
  • Full suite run; every failure attributed and proven pre-existing
  • bun run privacy:scan green
  • No user-facing behavior change requiring docs-site/ updates (operator-facing surface lands in layer 2)
  • Targets dev

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds boot-aware, bounded reclamation for abandoned response-state temporary files. It runs during the existing liveness sweep, handles PID reuse and symlinked directories, updates regression tests, and documents a planned ocx doctor reporting and reclaim workflow.

Changes

Response-state reclamation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reclamation scope and safeguards
devlog/_plan/260819_response_state_temp_reclaim/*
The plans and audits define periodic cleanup, boot-time PID-reuse handling, grace-period protection, scan budgets, symlink coverage, and verification criteria.
Boot-aware bounded recovery
src/responses/state.ts, devlog/_plan/260819_response_state_temp_reclaim/010_phase1_periodic_sweeper.md
Recovery validates boot time, applies scan and cleanup limits, resolves literal and symlinked directories, handles concurrent ENOENT, and exposes periodic reclaim functions.
Liveness wiring and regression coverage
src/lib/state-store-registrations.ts, tests/responses-state.test.ts, tests/state-store-sweeper.test.ts
The existing responses-continuation liveness sweep invokes response-state reclamation. Tests cover PID reuse, safety guards, deadlines, races, environment isolation, iterator closure, and sweep ordering.
Operator reclaim workflow
devlog/_plan/260819_response_state_temp_reclaim/020_phase2_doctor_reclaim.md
The Phase 2 plan defines read-only ocx doctor reporting and optional removal with --reclaim-response-temps, using shared dry-run accounting.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1fbac

The PR adds periodic temp reclamation and a boot-age shortcut, but that shortcut can delete a still-live writer's temp file on shared configuration volumes, risking response-state loss; the ENOENT path also reports zero reclaimed bytes. Merge should be blocked until writer ownership is proven safely.

**Amendment (phase 1, additive):** add a boot-time floor. A temp whose `mtimeMs`
predates system boot cannot belong to any currently-live pid, so the liveness check is
provably vacuous for it. Reclaim when `file.mtimeMs < bootMs - skew` in ADDITION to the
existing gates; every original guard stays intact. `bootMs` derives from
`os.uptime()` and becomes an injectable IO member for testability.

Mark the round-1 safety claim as superseded.

This text says that a pre-boot temp cannot belong to a live PID. devlog/_plan/260819_response_state_temp_reclaim/011_audit_round2.md later identifies this claim as false for shared volumes, suspend behavior, and network filesystem timestamps.

Keep this audit history, but label the paragraph as superseded or replace the claim with the corrected safety argument.

Align the phase-1 documentation with the corrected implementation. The boot-time pseudocode must disable the floor for non-finite or future boot times rather than clamp them to the current time, because clamping can make the floor maximally aggressive. The crash-path explanation should also state that a process which produced a temp has already performed the one-shot reclaim; the defect is that the pass runs only once, grace hides predecessor temps, and per-pass limits restrict progress.

- Default `ocx doctor`: REPORT matched temps and their total bytes. Read-only.
- `ocx doctor --reclaim-response-temps`: perform the reclaim and print what was freed.

Report-by-default is deliberate. `doctor` is a diagnostic an operator runs to
understand a machine; deleting files as a side effect of asking a question is the
wrong default, even for cache files.

```ts
const reclaim = args.includes("--reclaim-response-temps");
const result = reclaim
? reclaimAbandonedResponseStateTemps()
: inspectAbandonedResponseStateTemps();
if (result.matched === 0) {
console.log("Response-state temps: none abandoned.");
} else if (reclaim) {
console.log(`Response-state temps: reclaimed ${result.removed} file(s), ${formatBytes(result.bytesRemoved)} freed.`);
if (result.failed > 0) console.log(` ${result.failed} file(s) could not be removed (in use or locked).`);
} else {
console.log(`Response-state temps: ${result.matched} abandoned file(s), ${formatBytes(result.bytes)} reclaimable.`);

Define one truthful result contract for report and reclaim modes.

result.matched cannot support the text on Line 45. In src/responses/state.ts:565-642, matched increments after the filename match and before the regular-file, age, boot-floor, current-process, and liveness checks. A live-PID file, young file, current-process file, directory, or invalid match can therefore make the report say that abandoned files exist.

The sample also reads result.bytes, but the supplied result has bytesRemoved, not bytes. Line 70 through Line 71 introduce wouldRemove and bytesReclaimable, but the plan does not add or aggregate those fields in ResponseStateTempRecoveryResult and reclaimAbandonedResponseStateTemps at src/responses/state.ts:978-997. This can cause a type error or an incorrect report.

Define and initialize the dry-run fields, aggregate them across both directories, and use them in the report. Make inspectAbandonedResponseStateTemps() call the same wrapper with dryRun: true; do not create a second selection implementation.

Also applies to: 64-77

Align reclaim output with recovery accounting.

In src/responses/state.ts:565-642, an ENOENT race increments removed but does not increment bytesRemoved. Line 42 can therefore report reclaimed 1 file(s), 0 B freed. This is valid only if bytesRemoved means bytes unlinked by this invocation, not bytes freed globally. State that meaning or add separate accounting for files that were already absent.

The same code increments failed for every non-ENOENT unlink error. The text on Line 43 is too narrow for permission or I/O failures. Use “could not be removed” unless the result records error categories. Add doctor output tests for ENOENT and a non-ENOENT failure.

Report scan truncation instead of claiming a complete inventory.

The dry-run branch does not increment removed or failed, so it can bypass maxCleanups. The existing loop in src/responses/state.ts:565-642 still stops at maxEntries and at deadlineMs when configured. Unless inspectAbandonedResponseStateTemps() explicitly overrides those limits, the doctor can undercount files or report “none abandoned” after an incomplete scan.

Add truncated metadata with a reason such as maxEntries or deadline, and print a partial-scan warning. Alternatively, define a separate operator scan budget with an explicit completeness guarantee. Add tests for both limits.

Do not treat pre-boot mtime as proof of process ownership.

The implementation and the round-1 audit rely on the same incomplete identity model. A PID can be reused across or within a boot, and shared-volume writers are not represented by the local boot clock.

  • src/responses/state.ts#L612-L622: use a writer identity that survives PID reuse for self-protection and stale ownership checks.
  • devlog/_plan/260819_response_state_temp_reclaim/001_audit_round1.md#L43-L47: mark the “provably vacuous” safety argument as superseded by the round-2 correction.

Account for reclaimed bytes in ENOENT races.

bytesRemoved is reported as bytes freed, but the ENOENT branch increments only removed. Add file.size to result.bytesRemoved and assert this value in tests/responses-state.test.ts:1707-1725.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make periodic scans progressive and enforce one tick budget.

Each reclaim call starts directory iteration from the beginning and stops at maxEntries. If a directory contains more than 512 non-matching entries before a stale temp, stable directory ordering can prevent that temp from ever being inspected. The plan says the next tick resumes, but this implementation has no cursor or continuation state.

The wrapper also resets maxEntries, maxCleanups, and deadlineMs for every directory. Two directories can therefore consume 1,024 entries, 128 cleanup attempts, and two 25 ms windows in one liveness tick.

Carry scan progress between ticks and carry the remaining entry, cleanup, and deadline budgets across directories. Add a regression test with more than 512 leading entries and a stale temp after the boundary.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the grace-period test enter the boot-floor path.

Lines 1667-1673 create a file at the current time and set bootTime to 24 hours earlier. The file does not predate boot. recoverStaleResponseStateTemps therefore calls isProcessAlive instead of bypassing liveness through predatesBoot.

The test passes even if the grace check is removed. Set the fixture mtime so that predatesBoot is true while the file age remains below the 15-minute grace period. Use the injected clock or inspection seam if needed.

…cates

An early break abandons the enumeration generator instead of resuming it, so
the finally that closes the directory handle never runs. The periodic reclaim
truncates by design -- entry cap, cleanup cap, wall-clock deadline -- which
turned that into one leaked handle per truncated tick.

Route every early exit through a stopScan() helper that calls iterator.return()
before returning, and add a regression that fails when the fix is reverted.

Also repairs the deadline test's oracle. Its fake clock started at 0 while the
fixtures carried real epoch mtimes, making every computed age negative, so the
files survived the 15-minute grace whether or not a deadline check existed --
the test passed against its own ablation. Anchor the clock to real time and add
an explicit unbounded-run assertion so the deadline is the only reason nothing
is removed.
