fix: make SSH auth cleanup fork resilient

[lawrencecchen]

Summary

The SSH foreground-auth cleanup could leave descendants alive on a fork-starved macOS runner. Its recursive ps/pgrep/external-signal walk silently lost signals when the runner returned EAGAIN.

This change snapshots the process table, builds a linear parent-child index, journals only successful SIGSTOP operations, and validates PID, process group, and start time before SIGKILL. It re-discovers descendants and exclusive groups after SIGTERM, and resumes confirmed identities when a snapshot cannot be trusted.

The regression test lowers the helper shell process limit after creating a 25-process chain. The test fails on the pre-fix commit and passes on the fix.

Verification

• swift test --package-path Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation on the shared macOS 15 builder
• Focused process-tree test repeated 12 times
• Replacement-handler test repeated 8 times
• Terminal-mode test repeated 8 times
• Pre-fix regression run fails with live descendants

---

Summary by cubic

Fixes macOS SSH foreground-auth cleanup so fork-starved runners no longer leave descendants alive. The old recursive ps/pgrep walk could lose signals on EAGAIN; cleanup now fails closed when process or marker identity cannot be verified, avoiding unrelated-process kills.

• Journals successful SIGSTOPs and already-stopped roots, revalidates the root before each fallback signal, and resumes only verified identities when snapshots fail.
• Keeps the authentication wrapper alive through TERM, waits on a per-attempt event FIFO keyed to a generated token (retrying setup on cancellation), and finds delayed or detached setsid replacements.
• Reserves a force pass after the grace budget, tracks new process groups, and treats zombies as terminated.
• Uses derived Darwin audit-token offsets, legacy process-info sizes, exact Linux /proc start counters, and a portable token fallback (uuidgen or /dev/urandom); Darwin recovery no longer needs Ruby or Perl, and hosts without procfs stop before unverified kills.
• Force-terminates the root and removes state files when setup fails before the tree is frozen.
• Tests cover fork pressure, pre-stopped roots, delayed replacements, detached replacements, terminal restoration, and zombie-aware liveness.

^{Written for commit 4526b72. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved cleanup of SSH foreground authentication processes, including deeply nested process chains.
  • Processes are now terminated in a safer, verified order, with retries for unsuccessful termination attempts.
  • Cleanup stops without issuing unverified kills when process information cannot be validated.
  • Improved handling of already-terminated, replacement, and zombie processes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The process-tree cleanup routine now uses validated snapshots, identity checks, bounded freeze passes, descendant reconstruction, and guarded signals. Authentication retries publish TERM completion through a FIFO. Tests add process-limit setup and zombie-aware liveness checks.

Process cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Snapshot and identity tracking Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicy.swift	The routine validates process identifiers, captures snapshots, indexes descendants, identifies exclusive process groups, and journals process identities.
Freeze, terminate, and rebuild ownership Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicy.swift	The routine freezes and confirms processes, sends SIGTERM to leaves, rebuilds ownership after replacements, and sends SIGKILL only to confirmed identities.
Authentication termination completion Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicy.swift, Sources/SSHPTYAttachStartupCommandBuilder.swift	The retry shell exports CMUX_SSH_AUTH_ROOT_PID, derives per-attempt FIFO paths, publishes TERM completion, and passes the TERM-event flag to the cleanup helper.
Process cleanup test validation Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Tests/CmuxFoundationTests/SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicyTests.swift	The tests set the process limit after fixture creation, remove elapsed-time assertions, delay replacement spawning, pass the TERM-event flag, and use BSD process state to treat zombies as terminated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6a562

The PR improves SSH cleanup under process pressure, but the current implementation can still misroute completion events, signal unrelated same-user processes, or resume a reused process identifier during recovery; some regression checks can also pass without proving the intended behavior. These bounded correctness and security risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly explains what changed, why it changed, and how it was tested. It provides detailed verification results, but it omits the template's Demo Video, Review Trigger, and Checklist sections.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS. The production diff changes shell-string generation only. SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicy remains a Sendable value struct with immutable stored properties and has no @MainActor annotation. SSHPTYAttachStartupCommandBuilder only changes a generated shell argument. No new actor, service protocol, shared mutable Sendable reference type, UI-bound store, or background access to UI state was introduced. The affected package uses Swift 6 but does not enable a default MainActor isolation setting. Test-only changes are allowed by the check.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The PR adds blocking and timing-based synchronization to shipped production Swift-generated shell code. SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicy.swift adds read -r -t 1 while waiting for the TERM FIFO and read -r -t 2 while the authentication wrapper waits for an acknowledgement. It also adds SECONDS deadlines and repeated snapshot/STOP retry loops (four freeze attempts and up to 32 force attempts). These are new runtime waits and polling loops, not test scaffolding. The test-only sleeps are allowed, and the existing wait calls were not materially changed.

Resolution

Replace the timed FIFO reads, SECONDS deadlines, and repeated snapshot polling with an asynchronous actor-owned or cancellation-aware event mechanism. Use the FIFO completion as a callback or explicit async state transition instead of synchronously blocking the shell process. Use process-exit notifications or another real completion event for cleanup retries, and remove fixed-count polling passes. Keep timing calls confined to test-only scaffolding.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff from origin/main changes only SSH foreground-auth cleanup source/tests and SSH startup command construction. Sources/TerminalController.swift, ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift, and browser policy test paths are unchanged. Therefore, the pull request introduces no browser socket automation routing, WebKit/AppKit worker-lane, or policy-test failure covered by this check.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only SSH process-tree cleanup shell generation, SSH attach signal handling, and related tests. The added code uses process-table snapshots, awk, FIFOs, and signal operations; it does not add or move RestorableAgentSessionIndex.load(), agent stores, transcript/trajectory/workstream JSON or JSONL parsing, directory scans, or per-record agent-history syscalls. No changed production path contains @MainActor, SharedLiveAgentIndex, or an agent-history loader. Therefore the explicit expensive synchronous agent-history load condition is not introduced.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The diff changes SSH process-tree cleanup and FIFO signaling only. It does not replace an authoritative persistence, history, undo, or snapshot read with a cache. The new process snapshot is freshly collected from /bin/ps at each required phase, and no cache-backed value is introduced.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

No prohibited hacky sleep was introduced. The production helper removes the prior /bin/sleep 0.02 polling delays. Its new read -r -t waits consume PID-scoped FIFO completion and acknowledgement events, with bounded SECONDS deadlines and focused tests. The only new fixed sleep, /bin/sleep 0.25, is in a test-only TERM-trap fixture and is deterministic scaffolding. The existing builder retry sleep was not changed.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The changed production path uses a ps snapshot and awk associative indexes. Its parent-child traversal uses a queue and seen set, so it does not scan the full process collection for each process target (SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicy.swift:157-245, 609-675). Signal loops consume indexed candidate files. The repeated freeze and force passes have explicit limits of 4 and 32 and a two-second deadline. No new sorting, filtering, or nested full-collection scan appears in a UI, socket, search, or sampling path. The contains(where:) change is test-only.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes synchronous Swift string builders and shell-script text. The changed production files add no DispatchQueue, DispatchGroup, Task, Combine, completion-handler API, or async/await usage. The tests retain existing Thread.sleep polling, which is test-only and allowed by the rule. The new proc_pidinfo call is an OS API boundary in a test helper. The aggregate diff against origin/main confirms these are the changed Swift files and shows no listed legacy async pattern introduced or materially expanded.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds no async, await, @concurrent, nonisolated, @MainActor, Task, or actor-isolation markers in added Swift lines. The changed policy methods and test helper are synchronous. The changed call sites only build or execute shell strings, so this check has no async helper or UI-isolation violation to report.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS. The changed process-tree and SSH authentication logic remains in the CmuxFoundation SwiftPM target at Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicy.swift, with package tests in its test target. The source imports only Foundation and exposes a testable public policy API. The only app-target change is a one-argument update in Sources/SSHPTYAttachStartupCommandBuilder.swift, which is app-lifecycle command composition glue and is allowed by the boundary rule.

512-518: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use isLiveProcess for the replacement liveness assertion.

isLiveProcess explicitly treats zombies as terminated. This test still polls Darwin.kill(replacementPID, 0) and asserts that it fails. A correctly killed replacement can remain a zombie briefly and fail this test.

Use isLiveProcess for both the polling loop and the final assertion, as in processTreeTerminationUsesOneOverallDeadline.

Proposed fix

-        while Darwin.kill(replacementPID, 0) == 0, Date.now < exitDeadline {
+        while isLiveProcess(replacementPID), Date.now < exitDeadline {
             Thread.sleep(forTimeInterval: 0.01)
         }

287-289: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Do not resume an unconfirmed PID after snapshot failure.

When cmux_ssh_auth_take_snapshot fails, this branch calls cmux_ssh_auth_resume_journal_directly, which sends SIGCONT using only the journal PID. A reused PID can identify an unrelated stopped process. Fail closed when the current PID, process group, and start time cannot be confirmed.

As per path instructions, SSH cleanup must use validated structured identity data and fail closed when validation fails.

Fail the test when process metadata is unavailable.

isLiveProcess returns false when proc_pidinfo does not return the expected size. The final assertions then interpret an observation failure as proof that the process terminated. Cleanup can fail while the test still passes.

Return a distinct unknown result and fail the test for it. Return false only when the process is confirmed absent or is confirmed to be a zombie.
