reloadp.sh: exclude only this build's own bundle from the stable check

[teamleaderleo]

Follow-up to #14831, from CodeRabbit's review there. reloadp.sh refuses to launch its Release build while another cmux with the stable bundle id is running. It exempted every DerivedData/.../Release/cmux.app, so a Release build running from another checkout went unnoticed and would have been replaced.

Now only the exact bundle this script builds is exempt. The script checks once before xcodebuild, against the newest existing Release bundle, so it still fails fast. It checks again after the build, against the fresh path.

Testing

• bash -n scripts/reloadp.sh.
• running_stable_other_than against a stubbed pgrep that lists /Applications/cmux.app, another checkout's Release build, and this build: with its own path it reports the first two; with no path it reports all three.

Summary by cubic

Fixes reloadp.sh so only its own Release build is exempt from the stable bundle id check. Previously every DerivedData Release build was skipped, so a Release build running from another checkout went unnoticed and would have been replaced.

• Resolves this checkout's Release bundle path from xcodebuild -showBuildSettings instead of the newest DerivedData Release bundle, which could belong to another checkout.
• Reports a failing -showBuildSettings and reads only the cmux target's block, requiring a .app path so dependency or test targets can't be picked; skips package updates to keep the lookup fast.
• Runs the check before building and again against the built path, failing fast on other stable-id cmux processes.
• Follow-up to Stop other bundles and scripts from killing the running cmux #14831 from its CodeRabbit review.

^{Written for commit 8898ad0. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • The app reload workflow verifies that the selected Release app is available and checks for other running app instances before and after building. It stops rather than replacing another running instance unless an override is configured. The app being rebuilt is excluded from the check, and the workflow exits if the selected app cannot be located.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The reload script resolves this checkout’s Release app path from build settings. It checks for other running stable-bundle processes before and after the build. It refuses to proceed if another process is running, unless CMUX_ALLOW_REPLACING_RUNNING_CMUX=1.

Changes

Release App Process Checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve app path and guard build scripts/reloadp.sh	The script resolves this checkout’s Release app path from build settings and checks for other running stable-bundle processes before building and before launch. It excludes only a process whose executable path matches this app path. The override variable allows the script to proceed when another such process is running.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7bc54

The Release app path resolves to the intended build target. No issue identified here requires a change before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7bc54

The change narrows the exception to this checkout’s build and checks again before launch. No new security exposure was established, although the existing process checks remain best-effort.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The relevant exposure is a running app sharing the stable bundle identity, including one from another checkout; replacing it can interrupt that user’s live sessions. The reviewed script shows a local build-and-launch path, not a new remote entry point.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — No introduced or worsened attack path was established. Process identification still relies on command-line matching, and another process can start after the final check; both limitations are present in the base behavior rather than introduced by this diff.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The guard excludes process lines containing this build’s resolved executable path, detects other matching lines, and permits an explicit caller-controlled override. It does not independently verify the executable represented by a process command line.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — A build failure or missing output prevents launch, but the final check and subsequent termination and launch are not atomic. The latter limitation remains relevant to concurrent invocations without establishing a regression in this PR.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If concurrent reloads or untrusted local process command lines are in scope, consider serialization and executable-identity verification rather than treating either existing check as an atomic guarantee.
