Summary

  • Replace the desktop ownership source-string oracle with parser behavior so cli and desktop remain accepted while unknown owners fail closed after the parser moved behind a facade.
  • Close the four runtime ownership mutation races across direct start, updater stop/replacement, and post-stop recovery.

Lock-boundary evidence

  1. Start authority covers bind and both records. src/cli/start-ownership-publication.ts acquires one lease, awaits bind, writes PID, writes the runtime address, and releases only after both publications. Publication failure stops the bound server and performs PID-scoped cleanup first. src/server/index/spend-ledger-lifecycle.ts exposes failed-start listener settlement; uncertain listener shutdown retains both the runtime mutation lease and spend-ledger ownership until process exit.
  2. Replacement uses the current runtime record. bin/ocx.mjs re-reads runtime-port.json while the updater lease is held. inspectPackageRuntimeLiveness in src/update/runtime-ownership.mjs probes the fresh current endpoint before the captured recovery endpoint, keeps absent distinct from unreadable/invalid, and fails closed on unknown.
  3. Stop permission is decided under the replacement lease. bin/ocx.mjs acquires the mutation lease before the final ownership plan and passes its token only to the ocx stop and recovery children. src/cli/index.ts wraps the complete stop body in the same lease, so the child joins delegated authority while ordinary stops acquire their own. npm/pnpm children receive an environment with the token removed.
  4. Post-stop refusal uses owner-aware recovery. planStoppedRuntimeRecovery requires the same readable CLI owner identity, all candidate endpoints proven dead, and a verified launcher. The same owner restores through service repair or a verified direct launcher; transferred ownership is left alone; unknown ownership or liveness reports manual recovery and preserves evidence.

Verification

  • Local checks: NOT RUN (this lane explicitly prohibits local tests, focused tests, typecheck, build, install, runtime imports, and ocx execution).
  • Static review: git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD
  • Hosted exact-head CI: PASS at 7a8462456c4473bdfe0ff5507704a9196cddce56, including aggregate ci.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds lease-protected CLI start and stop operations, tracks failed-start rollback settlement, and reworks package updates around ownership and runtime-liveness revalidation. It also adds recovery planning, scoped child environments, and tests for the new lifecycle behavior.

Changes

Ownership lease and runtime recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared lease and recovery primitives
src/service/ownership-mutation-lease.*, src/update/runtime-ownership.*, tests/service/*, tests/update/update-desktop-owner.test.ts, tests/clients/desktop-install-identity.test.ts
Child environments can carry or remove the mutation-lease token. Runtime recovery now returns explicit actions and reasons, and liveness inspection distinguishes current, captured, absent, and unknown states.
Server failed-start rollback and shutdown ownership
src/server/index.ts, src/server/index/spend-ledger-lifecycle.ts, src/server/lifecycle.ts, tests/server/*
Failed-start listener rollback returns a settlement promise and records it by error. Listener shutdown reports whether all stops succeeded, and spend-ledger ownership remains held when shutdown is uncertain.
CLI start publication transaction and stop lease
src/cli/index.ts, src/cli/start-ownership-publication.ts, tests/cli/*, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Start binds and publishes PID and runtime state through a lease-backed transaction with rollback handling. Controlled start exits use StartCommandExit, and stop acquires the mutation lease around its existing logic.
Updater lease-held stop, replacement, and recovery
bin/ocx.mjs, structure/runtime.md, tests/update/update-stop-first.test.ts
The updater revalidates stop authority and runtime liveness under one lease, uses scoped environments for child processes, blocks unsafe replacement, and selects service, direct, manual, or no recovery based on current ownership and liveness.

P1 Badge Keep ownership identity behind the shared state contract

This direct reference to consentGeneration breaks the existing source-contract test: bun test tests/update/update-desktop-owner.test.ts fails at line 205 because the launcher is required not to duplicate ownership-record schema fields. Derive the recovery identity through a helper exported by install-state-contract.mjs instead; otherwise this commit cannot pass the focused test and the launcher will drift when the record schema changes.

P2 Badge Release or transfer the lease before service recovery

When an npm/pnpm update fails after stopping an installed service, this calls service repair while updateLease remains held until the finally at line 796. The repair child can join the delegated lease, but the actual launchd/systemd/Task Scheduler process it starts does not inherit that token from the fixed service definition, so ocx start times out acquiring the mutation lease while the parent synchronously waits for the service health check. Recovery therefore waits through its deadline and falls back to an unsupervised direct process instead of restoring the background service; transfer authority to the managed start or release it at a safe handoff before waiting for health.

이 PR은 런타임 소유권(누가 백그라운드 프록시를 소유하는지)을 바꿀 때 생기는 경쟁 조건을 막는 작업이다. 예전에는 “소유자가 누구인지”를 문자열로만 가늠하거나, 업데이트가 멈춤·교체·복구를 나누어 보면서 중간에 다른 프로세스가 끼어들 여지가 있었다. 지금은 cli/desktop만 인정하는 파서 동작으로 바꾸고, 시작은 리스닝 바인드와 PID·런타임 주소 기록을 한 임대(lease) 안에서 끝낸다. npm/pnpm 쪽 bin/ocx.mjs 업데이트는 멈춤 권한 확인부터 패키지 교체까지 한 임대를 잡고, stop·복구 자식에만 토큰을 넘기며, 실패 뒤 복구는 같은 CLI 소유자일 때만 자동으로 다시 올린다. 시작 실패 시 리스너가 정말 닫혔는지 증명되지 않으면 임대를 풀어 주지 않는 쪽도 같이 손봤다. base는 dev이고, 소유권 오라클 테스트도 문자열 검색에서 파서 호출로 바뀌어 방향은 맞다.

라인 - src/update/index.ts: Bun 업데이트 경로가 이 PR에서 손대지 않았다. 여전히 교체 직전 짧은 replacementLease와 캡처한 주소 프로브 중심이다. planStoppedRuntimeRecovery / inspectPackageRuntimeLiveness / stop 자식 토큰 위임이 없다. 공유 모듈 주석과 structure/runtime.md는 “양쪽 업데이터가 같이” 이 경계를 쓴다고 읽히는데, 실제 배선은 bin/ocx.mjs뿐이라 예전에 문서가 경고하던 “한쪽만 고침” 패턴이 다시 생긴다.
라인 - bin/ocx.mjs (decidePostStopUpdate의 liveness): 교체 직전은 currentPackageRuntimeLiveness()로 현재 runtime-port.json을 다시 읽는데, stop 직후 진행 여부는 예전처럼 bakePort/bakeHostname만 본다. stop과 교체 사이에 새 주소가 올라오면 stop 판정과 교체 판정이 어긋날 수 있다.
라인 - bin/ocx.mjs (업데이트 임대 수명): mutation lease를 npm/pnpm 설치(타임아웃 최대 약 180초) 내내 잡고 있다. 협력하는 ocx start/stop은 약 2초 기다린 뒤 임대 충돌로 실패한다. 경계로는 맞지만, 업데이트 한 번이 다른 CLI 작업을 길게 막을 수 있다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

이번 레인 목표가 npm/pnpm 런처만인지, 아니면 Bun src/update/index.ts까지 같은 lock 경계를 이 PR에 넣어야 하는지. 문서·테스트가 “양쪽”을 말하는 상태면 Bun을 빼 둔 채 merge하면 운영 경로에 따라 레이스가 다시 열린다. 또 패키지 설치 전 구간만 짧게 잠글지, 설치 전체 동안 잠그는 현재 선택을 받아들일지.

너의 추천

merge 전에 Bun 업데이트 경로에 같은 헬퍼·임대·복구 규칙을 맞추거나, 이번 PR 범위를 npm/pnpm으로 명시하고 문서/테스트를 그에 맞게 줄여라. 같이 decidePostStopUpdate의 liveness도 currentPackageRuntimeLiveness()로 통일하는 편이 안전하다. CI 핵심 테스트는 대체로 통과 중이니, 레인 비대칭만 정리되면 방향은 유지해도 된다.

Check for an immediate spawn failure before polling.

node:child_process.spawn reports an immediate failure through the asynchronous error event. The synchronous Atomics.wait loop prevents that handler from running while recovery polls. When the child cannot be spawned, child.pid is undefined, so recovery can wait up to 30 seconds and report only the generic deadline error. Check child.pid before entering the polling loop and return the spawn-specific failure immediately.

🛠️ Proposed fix
     child.unref();
+    if (child.pid === undefined) {
+      console.error("opencodex: direct proxy restart could not be spawned; reinstall opencodex manually.");

Handle a failed lease acquisition with an actionable error.

acquireOwnershipMutationLease runs outside the function's error boundary. If it throws, the error can escape runPackageManagerSelfUpdate and produce an unhandled Node stack trace. The top-level update dispatch calls the npm and pnpm wrappers without another catch. Catch this failure and report an actionable message before exiting with status 1.

🛠️ Proposed fix
-  const updateLease = acquireOwnershipMutationLease(serviceStatePaths);
+  let updateLease;
+  try {
+    updateLease = acquireOwnershipMutationLease(serviceStatePaths);
+  } catch (error) {

Report the liveness verdict when replacement is refused.

Keep replacementLiveness !== "dead" unconditional. The replacement contract fails closed because an unknown probe result does not prove that the package runtime is stopped. A persistent unknown result can block repeated updates, but allowing it when stopNeeded is false could replace files while a listener remains active.

When no stop was attempted, recovery returns reason: "not-stopped" without printing a diagnostic, and replacementPlan.notice is null for the normal CLI owner. The fallback message therefore hides the unknown verdict and the probed endpoint. Include both values in that message.

🛠️ Proposed fix
      console.error(replacementPlan.notice
-        ?? "opencodex: update stopped because runtime ownership or liveness changed after the stop decision; rerun from the beginning.");
+        ?? `opencodex: update stopped because runtime ownership or liveness changed after the stop decision; runtime liveness on ${bakeHostname}:${bakePort} is ${replacementLiveness}. Rerun from the beginning.`);

Require readable CLI ownership before automatic recovery.

Line 90 accepts ownership === null when sameOwner is true. planUpdateRuntimeHandling permits a stop when ownership is null. Therefore, the updater can capture a null identity and later compare it equal to another null identity.

If liveness is "dead" and the launcher is usable, Lines 95-96 then restart the service or direct runtime without readable CLI ownership. This conflicts with the owner-aware recovery requirement and can revive a runtime after its ownership evidence disappears.

Treat absent ownership as manual recovery. Update the test base to use an actual CLI ownership record. Add a separate null-ownership refusal case.

Proposed fix
-  if (ownershipUnknown) return { action: "manual", reason: "ownership-unknown" };
-  if (!sameOwner || (ownership && ownership.owner !== "cli")) {
+  if (ownershipUnknown || !ownership) {
+    return { action: "manual", reason: "ownership-unknown" };
+  }
+  if (!sameOwner || ownership.owner !== "cli") {
     return { action: "none", reason: "ownership-transferred" };
   }

In `@src/update/runtime-ownership.mjs` at line 90, Update
planUpdateRuntimeHandling so absent ownership is treated as manual recovery:
return { action: "manual", reason: "ownership-unknown" } when ownershipUnknown
or ownership is null before checking sameOwner or the owner value. Then require
ownership.owner to equal "cli" for automatic recovery, and update the tests to
use a concrete CLI ownership record in the base case plus a separate
null-ownership refusal case.
