fix(desktop): make the startup surface unable to wait forever - #5451
Conversation
On Linux the bootstrap window drew its six phase rows and then never changed again: the headline stayed on the markup's default and every row stayed pending, pixel-identical at 26s and 46s. The page's own handshake deadline is 5s and it never fired, so all three invokes answered — `apply` had been handed a falsy progress and returned at its first line. Three things made that reachable. `startup_snapshot` could answer `None`. The page returns early on a falsy progress, so the one case it cannot render, a shell with no startup state, arrived as silence instead of as a diagnostic. It now always answers with a state, and a missing startup state is reported as a failure the user can read and copy. `run` looked up `AppState` before publishing anything, so the sequence could return having said nothing at all. The first report now happens before any lookup that can fail. Nothing enforced the 30-second ceiling. Several returns inside `run` report no terminal state, and a step that outlives the deadline reports none either, so the surface kept whatever it was last told for as long as the process lived. A guard bound to the run now reports a terminal state when the run does not. It is idempotent and generation-scoped, so it cannot overwrite a result the run reported and one left over from an earlier run cannot fail the retry that replaced it, and it waits a short grace past the ceiling so the run's own failure — which names the endpoint, the home and how the child ended — is the diagnostic on screen rather than the guard's thinner one. `Phase::NotStarted` is new and deliberately absent from the checklist the page draws. The state used to be seeded with `registering`, so a shell that never began rendered exactly like one that had just begun, on the surface whose whole job is to tell those apart.

When a startup operation actually outlives the ceiling, this guard only publishes Failed; Startup::running remains true until run returns at lines 409–410. The failure enables the Retry button, but retry_startup immediately encounters the still-true flag in begin and returns, so the exact indefinitely hung case this guard targets still cannot be retried. Abort or supersede the timed-out task and release the running state before advertising retry.

When run reports Ready or Failed concurrently with the 32-second guard, settled() releases the live mutex before latest() and emit() reacquire it, allowing the genuine terminal result to land after this check and then be overwritten by the guard's generic failure; the reverse ordering can also let the continuing run overwrite the timeout. Commit the generation check, terminal check, and terminal progress atomically, and prevent subsequent reports from that generation.

`desktop-cli-contracts` sliced the sequence at the literal `async fn run(app: &AppHandle)`. Giving `run` its start instant changed that string, `indexOf` answered -1, and `slice(-1)` returns the last character rather than failing — so every index the case computes became -1 and the four ordering assertions compared -1 against -1. It did not go quietly only because the first one is `toBeGreaterThan(-1)`; the rest would have passed on an empty string. Both run oracles now anchor on the function name, which is what they are about, and assert the anchor was found before slicing. A parameter added to the sequence is not a change to the order these cases pin.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not advertise a retry that cannot run.
Progress::new(Phase::Failed, 0) sets can_retry to true. This function only runs when Startup state is absent. In that state, retry_startup calls begin(), and begin() immediately returns because try_state::<Startup>() fails.
The retry control therefore performs no action. Set can_retry to false, or add a recovery path that registers the missing state before it starts a run.
Proposed fix when the missing state is not recoverable in-process
let mut progress = Progress::new(Phase::Failed, 0);
+ progress.can_retry = false;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Make terminal settlement an atomic state transition.
settle() checks generation and settled() before it calls emit(). These operations do not use one lock or one compare-and-set transition.
At the deadline boundary, run() can publish Ready after the check on Line 423 and before the failure publication on Line 443. The guard then replaces a successful result with Failed. The reverse order is also possible. After the guard publishes Failed, the still-running task can publish another phase or Ready and replace the terminal state.
The task also keeps running set to true until run() returns. If the operation remains blocked, the displayed retry cannot start a new generation.
Check the generation, check the terminal state, and write the terminal progress while holding one state lock. Require each publication from run() to carry its generation and reject it after that generation is terminal or superseded. Alternatively, abort the timed-out run before clearing running.

Summary
On Linux the bootstrap window drew its six phase rows and then never changed again. The headline
stayed on the markup's default and every row stayed pending; captures at 26s and 46s were
pixel-identical. The page's own handshake deadline is 5s and it never fired, so all three invokes
answered —
applyhad been handed a falsy progress and returned at its first line, and nostartup-phaseevent ever arrived. Reported in #5416's follow-up; the machine had a user-accountnpm runtime holding the port with the app not yet attached.
Three separate holes made that screen reachable, and each is closed here.
startup_snapshotcould answerNone.app.try_state::<Startup>()returns anOptionandthe command mapped it straight through. The page returns early on a falsy progress, so the one
case it cannot render — a shell with no startup state — arrived as silence rather than as a
diagnostic. The command now always answers with a state, and a missing startup state is reported
as a failure with a copyable diagnostic instead of as nothing at all.
The sequence could return before it had published anything.
runlooked upAppStatebeforeits first
report, so that early return said nothing. The first report now happens before anylookup that can fail.
Nothing enforced the 30-second ceiling. Several returns inside
runpublish no terminal state— the missing
AppState, and the spawn declined because an exit is already in flight — and a stepthat outlives the deadline publishes none either. The surface then kept whatever it was last told
for as long as the process lived. A guard bound to the run now reports a terminal state when the
run does not. It is idempotent and generation-scoped, so it cannot overwrite a result the run
reported and one left over from an earlier run cannot fail the retry that replaced it. It waits a
short grace past the ceiling so the run's own failure, which names the endpoint, the home and how
the child ended, is the diagnostic on screen rather than the guard's thinner one.
Phase::NotStartedis new and deliberately absent from the phase list the page draws itschecklist from. The state used to be seeded with
registering, so a shell that never beganrendered exactly like one that had just begun, on the surface whose whole job is to tell those
apart. A checklist row for it would be a step that never completes; it renders as a headline with
every row still pending, which is the honest picture.
What this does not change
The page still reads the snapshot once on load and then follows the event stream. If the event
stream itself delivers nothing, the surface now freezes on a state it was actually told rather
than on its own markup — an improvement and a diagnostic, but not a cure. Making the page re-read
the snapshot until the run is terminal would close that too, and it is left out here because it
edits
desktop/ui/index.html, which #5445 is currently rewriting. It is worth doing on top ofthat PR.
Verification
Local checks: NOT RUN. The suite,
test:changed, typecheck, builds,cargoin any form,dependency installs and any live runtime were not run for this change. Hosted CI at the exact head
is the evidence, read per step rather than per job conclusion.
Static verification performed instead:
The 5s page deadline is what rules out a hung command:
HANDSHAKE_DEADLINE_MSbounds all threeinvokes, and a rejection routes to
reportPageFailure, which rewrites the headline. A headlinestill on its default at 46s therefore means the invokes answered and the value was falsy.
present, with the extraction asserted non-empty first so a silently failing scan cannot read as
a pass. The three pre-existing ordering oracles in this file — registering before resolving
before starting, the deadline line, and the diagnostic slice between
pub fn diagnostic(andfn report(— were re-checked against the movedreportcall and still hold.the two Rust files are pre-existing prose comments.
Regression coverage, written and registered but not executed here:
tests/clients/desktop-startup-surface.test.tsgains four cases: the snapshot command answerswith a state rather than an
Option;not-startedexists and is not inPHASES; the runpublishes before the lookup that can fail; and the run is followed by a settle, with a deadline
guard past the ceiling that is both idempotent and generation-scoped.
startup.rsgains four unit tests in its own#[cfg(test)]module:NotStartedis absent fromthe checklist and unresolvable from a published id while every checklist phase round-trips; a
fresh sequence reports not-started and is unsettled; the no-state snapshot is a retryable
failure carrying a reason; and only a terminal state settles a run.
structure/desktop-shell.mdrecords the terminal-state guarantee and the not-started state, sincedesktop/src-tauri/srcis an area that document owns.A neighbouring oracle that was passing vacuously
Pushing the fix turned
test 4/4red on a case indesktop-cli-contractsthat had nothing to dowith the change in behaviour. It sliced the sequence at the literal
async fn run(app: &AppHandle); givingrunits start instant changed that string,indexOfanswered -1, and
slice(-1)returns the last character rather than failing. Every index the casecomputes then became -1, and its four ordering assertions were comparing -1 against -1. It failed
loudly only because the first of them is
toBeGreaterThan(-1); the other three would have passedagainst an empty string.
The second commit anchors both run oracles on the function name, which is what they are actually
about, and asserts the anchor was found before slicing. Every
indexOfandtoContainliteralin all seven
desktop-*oracles was then re-extracted and checked against the shell sources —335 anchors, no misses beyond the three files that read
app/Package.swiftand their ownfixtures, which are known and unrelated.

Checklist
Scope is the startup sequence, its command surface, the structure document that owns it and the
matching tests. No credential, token, workflow or network path is touched, and the new diagnostic
text carries the version, the OS, the phase and the reason — nothing about the user or the host.
