feat(gateway): configurable timeout reply and timeout hook - #197
Conversation
Add two optional config fields: timeout_reply overrides the hardcoded timeout message, timeout_hook runs a shell command on run timeout whose stdout becomes the reply (env: PUSH_THREAD, PUSH_ROW_ID, PUSH_BACKEND, PUSH_WORK_DIR; 5s budget; warn and fall back on any hook failure). FakeRunner now enforces the caller's run timeout like the real runners, enabling gateway-level timeout tests.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe gateway supports configurable timeout replies and optional shell hooks. Hooks receive runtime context, have bounded execution and output, and fall back to configured or default text when they fail or produce no output. ChangesTimeout reply handling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new timeout hook can consume unbounded output and leave background processes running after timeout or failure, risking memory exhaustion and degraded gateway availability.

created, while preserving the existing fallback reply and warning behavior.

- Run timeout_hook through /bin/sh -c so documented shell syntax (arguments, pipes, expansion) works, not just bare paths - kill_on_drop + dedicated process group so an over-budget hook is stopped when the 5s future is dropped - Treat a blank timeout_reply as unset instead of delivering an empty message - Pin the overrun test to the 5s budget (4.5-8s window)

Route hook stdout through head -c 65536 with pipefail so a runaway hook SIGPIPEs instead of exhausting gateway memory; overflow lands in the existing warn-and-fallback path. Hook stderr is discarded.

set -o pipefail is not POSIX and dash < 0.5.11 (Ubuntu 20.04, older Debian) rejects it, silently disabling every hook on those systems. Read hook stdout with a 64KiB byte cap instead: exceeding the cap kills the hook and uses the fallback reply. Same memory bound, works on any POSIX sh.
Removed redundant comments about hook execution and memory management.

A read error on the hook's stdout pipe was swallowed as EOF, so a hook that wrote partial output before the pipe broke could deliver those partial bytes as a successful reply. read_hook_stdout now returns the first read error; the worker logs it and uses the fallback reply.

kill_on_drop and child.kill() only signal the direct child, so a hook that backgrounded work (e.g. 'sleep 60 &') leaked descendants past the 5s budget. The hook already runs in its own process group (process_group(0), pgid == leader pid); every failure path now sends SIGKILL to -pgid: the output-cap branch and the 5s-timeout expiry (where kill_on_drop reaped the leader but not the group). Regression test starts a background descendant and asserts it dies.
Summary
Two optional config fields that turn the run-timeout reply from a hardcoded dead end into something configurable:
timeout_reply— replaces the default timeout reply text wholesale.timeout_hook— shell command run on run timeout; its stdout becomes the reply. Receives env varsPUSH_THREAD,PUSH_ROW_ID,PUSH_BACKEND,PUSH_WORK_DIR. 5s budget; any failure (non-zero exit, empty stdout, spawn error, overrun) logs a warning and falls back totimeout_reply/default, so the message is never lost because of a hook problem.Both default to
None; existing configs behave identically.Also makes
FakeRunnerenforce the caller's run timeout like the real runners do, which is what makes gateway-level timeout tests possible (previously a never-released fake run hung forever instead of surfacingRunError::Timeout).Why
The timeout reply is hardcoded with no context about what was happening and no deployment-specific way to improve it. A hook lets deployments fold in their own progress tracking or runbook (e.g. tail a progress file the assistant maintains) and customize the resume experience, without Push knowing anything about it.
