Summary

  • carry a bounded executor lifetime on every encrypted Remote Workspace RPC request
  • send an authenticated cancel frame when the coordinator stops waiting
  • abort queued work at the executor endpoint so an expired write cannot run after dequeue
  • raise the default RPC window from 30 seconds to 65 seconds, above the supported 60-second exec ceiling, and cap custom windows at 120 seconds
  • describe timeout as cancellation requested rather than falsely claiming confirmed cancellation
  • document the deadline/cancellation decision in ADR-0108

Verification

  • queued mutation timeout regression: 1 passed, 0 failed; the target stayed absent after the predecessor released
  • encrypted session binding suite: 2 passed, 0 failed
  • structure SSOT gate: passed
  • privacy scan: passed
  • checks ran one at a time with CPUQuota at 75% or lower, MemoryMax at 1536 MiB or lower, no swap, low I/O weight, and bounded task counts
  • full local suite and build were intentionally not run under the conservative host ceiling; exact-head CI remains required

Security and compatibility

  • this changes authenticated Remote Workspace control semantics and requires explicit security review
  • relative lifetimes avoid trusting clocks across devices; cancellation frames are additive and authenticated by the existing directional cipher
  • a mixed implementation fails closed on the required lifetime or unknown cancel frame rather than accepting an unbounded mutation
  • an already-running non-cooperative command still depends on its sandbox runner honoring AbortSignal; queued mutations are independently stopped before execution
  • no Go counterpart was identified for this TypeScript Remote Workspace path; reviewer confirmation is requested before merge

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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Remote Workspace requests now use execution grants: requests are prepared first and run only after granted.
    • Requests have bounded deadlines, with a default window of 65 seconds and a maximum of 120 seconds. Requests that expire before execution begins are discarded; timeouts also request cancellation of work underway but do not guarantee it has stopped.
  • Compatibility
    • Remote Workspace connections require RPC v2. Older RPC v1 peers are rejected and must be upgraded.
  • Documentation
    • Updated Remote Workspace documentation to explain execution grants, deadlines, cancellation behavior, and compatibility.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The remote-workspace RPC protocol advances to version 2. Coordinators prepare requests with bounded deadlines, grant execution only while requests remain pending, and send cancellation on timeout. Endpoints retain prepared requests until grant, cancellation, timeout, or closure. Tests and documentation cover these protocol changes.

Changes

Remote workspace RPC

Layer / File(s) Summary
RPC contract and coordinator sequencing
src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts, structure/decisions/ADR-0108-remote-workspace-rpc-deadlines.md
RPC v2 defines bounded prepare, grant, and cancel messages. The coordinator sends prepare before grant, skips the grant if the request is no longer pending, and sends cancellation on timeout. The default timeout is 65 seconds, with a 120-second maximum.
Endpoint execution state and regression coverage
src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts, tests/clients/remote-workspace-session-binding.test.ts, tests/clients/remote-workspace.test.ts, structure/decisions/ADR-0121-remote-workspace-execution-grants.md, structure/remote-workspace.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-workspace.md
The endpoint stores prepared requests without executing them, then runs them after a grant. It removes or aborts requests on cancellation, timeout, or endpoint closure. Tests cover missing grants, RPC v1 rejection, and timed-out queued writes. The ADRs and documentation describe the protocol and deadline behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f19ef

The English guide explains the v2 upgrade requirement and timeout behavior, but four translated guides omit it. Readers of those locales may miss compatibility and cancellation limits; this is a bounded documentation issue, so merge risk is low.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — structure (service) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — tests (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — docs-site (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — src (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts: The RPC protocol changes from version 1 request messages to version 2 prepare, cancel, and grant messages alongside responses. Prepare carries a timeout; the default increases from 30,000 to 65,000 ms, and a 120,000 ms maximum is added.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts: Parsing now accepts prepare only when timeoutMs is a safe integer from 1 through the maximum, then parses its request. The former immediate request message is no longer accepted.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts: Message parsing now accepts bounded request IDs for cancel and grant messages.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts: Transport options now reject timeouts above the 120,000 ms maximum, in addition to the existing identifier, integer, and minimum checks.

리뷰 · 우선순위 72 / 80

이 PR은 원격 작업실에서, 기다리는 시간이 끝난 파일 쓰기가 나중에 실행되지 않게 하려는 수정이에요.

명령을 보내는 쪽은 암호화된 요청마다 기다릴 시간을 같이 보냅니다. 기본은 30초에서 65초로 늘고, 직접 정해도 120초를 넘기지 못합니다. 65초는 명령 한도 60초보다 조금 깁니다. 시간이 끝나면 "취소했다"가 아니라 "취소를 요청했다"고만 말합니다.

파일을 쓰는 쪽은 요청을 받은 순간부터 그 시간만큼 타이머를 켭니다. 앞에서 다른 작업이 도는 동안 줄 서 있던 쓰기는, 자기 차례에 이미 취소됐으면 파일을 만들지 않습니다. 보내는 쪽이 기다림을 멈추면 암호화된 취소 편지도 보냅니다. 이 결정은 ADR-0108에 적혀 있습니다. 기준 브랜치는 dev입니다. 같은 내용으로 닫을 다른 PR은 없습니다.

줄 뒤에 있던 쓰기가 시간 초과 뒤에 파일을 안 만드는 것은 테스트로 확인됩니다. 그 테스트의 앞 명령은 취소를 일부러 무시합니다.

src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts:169 - 보내는 쪽 타이머는 요청을 다 보내기 전에 시작합니다. 전송이 막혀 그 시간보다 오래 걸리면, 사용자에게는 이미 시간 초과라고 답합니다. 요청 자체는 그 다음에 나갑니다.
src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts:171 - 취소 편지는 그 요청을 보낸 뒤에 붙습니다. 받는 쪽은 편지를 보기 전에 요청을 먼저 처리합니다.
src/remote-control/workspace-rpc.ts:298 - 받는 쪽은 도착한 순간 기다릴 시간을 처음부터 다시 줍니다. 보내는 쪽이 이미 포기했는지는 모릅니다. 이 타이머는 나중에 울리므로, 도착하자마자 도는 쓰기는 멈추지 못합니다.
src/remote-control/workspace-executor.ts:287 - 취소됐는지는 줄에서 나온 직후 한 번만 봅니다. 줄이 비어 있으면 바로 write_file이 이어지고, 이 함수는 취소 신호를 보지 않습니다. 파일은 그 자리에서 써집니다.
tests/clients/remote-workspace.test.ts:506 - 새 테스트는 명령 뒤에 줄 선 쓰기만 봅니다. 시간이 이미 지난 뒤에 도착해서 바로 실행되는 쓰기는 없습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

도착한 뒤 기다릴 시간을 다시 주는 방식을 유지할지 정해 주세요. ADR-0108은 컴퓨터마다 시계가 달라서, 요청에 끝나는 시각을 적지 않기로 했습니다. 그 선택이면, 보내는 쪽이 이미 포기한 요청도 줄이 비어 있을 때 파일을 쓸 수 있습니다. 작성자가 물은 대로, 이 TypeScript 경로와 짝인 Go 코드가 있는지도 확인해 주세요.

너의 추천

보내는 쪽 시간이 이미 끝난 요청이 빈 줄로 도착하면 파일을 만들지 않는 테스트를 먼저 넣으세요. 그 테스트가 실패하는 동안은 머지하지 마세요. 고칠 때는 도착한 뒤에 기다릴 시간을 다시 주지 말고, 이미 포기된 요청은 쓰기 전에 거절하세요. 줄에 쌓인 작업을 취소하는 지금 동작은 그 테스트와 같이 남기세요.

Remote Workspace uses encrypted RPC v2. The Hub and every Executor must support v2; RPC v1 peers
fail closed instead of falling back to immediate execution, so upgrade the Hub and Executors
together.

A timeout requests executor cancellation but does not confirm it. A grant may already be in transit,
or its operation may already be running. The default RPC timeout is 65 seconds, and `timeoutMs`
accepts inclusive values from 1 through 120,000 milliseconds.

Keep the translated Remote Workspace guides in sync.

The Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese guides omit the new RPC compatibility and timeout behavior. Add equivalent content covering the RPC v2 requirement, v1 fail-closed behavior, cancellation semantics, and timeout bounds.
