Problem

The ACP terminal exit watcher joined the stdout and stderr pumps before reporting the exit status, and terminal/release waited on that report uninterruptibly. A daemonized grandchild — a dev server, ssh -f, anything an agent backgrounds — inherits the pipe write-ends and keeps them open past the direct child's exit, so the pumps never see EOF: both waitForExit and release wedge forever, and the session-scope finalizer wedges with them.

Real-environment reproduction on Windows: a terminal whose command spawns a detached holder inheriting the terminal pipes — the holder confirmed alive, and waitForExit/release never returned within 10 seconds on main (standalone run against makeAcpClientTerminals with real processes; transcript captured). This is the same shape as saphid's #18383 (force-kill on SIGTERM-ignoring commands), but that PR addressed command kill escalation; this wedge is in the pump-drain path that runs even after a clean exit.

Change

Bound the pump-drain wait in the exit watcher with a 1-second grace (TERMINAL_OUTPUT_DRAIN_GRACE): the direct child's exit status is reported and release proceeds while the detached holder keeps running. Normal exits drain in milliseconds, so the grace only bites when something outside the session holds the pipes. Both output pumps belong to the terminal scope: output continues after the grace until release, which interrupts the pumps before pruning snapshots. Waiting for pump completion does not propagate their interruption into exit notification.

Scope and approval

No linked issue; filed under the small focused fix for an obvious bug. One pipe-drain bound in one file plus a regression test, no API or caller changes.

Verification

The real-process regression runs a script that spawns a detached pipe holder, then checks exit 0, pumps remaining active after the grace, completed stdout/stderr pump finalizers after release, retained output, and the holder remaining alive before cleanup. It also covers release without first calling waitForExit.
The corrected regression reproduced surviving pumps before cleanup was added. The final terminal suite passed 15/15 in Blacksmith, including both release paths.
Blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, both knip passes, typechecks for 14 affected packages, and 16 tests on the final source in e6f7fbbbfe.
The fixture now executes the script file rather than passing its path to node -e, provides NodeServices in scope, and uses the project test ceiling.
A real external ACP provider and browser client were not exercised in this takeover; the regression uses the production terminal service with real subprocesses.

Fix, tests, and PR description by GLM-5.3 in ZCode, directed and verified by rishabhx29.

Takeover fixes and verification by gpt-6.1-sol in the Codex harness on behalf of Maria.

Walkthrough

Terminal exit handling now runs stdout and stderr pumps within the terminal scope and waits up to one second for them after the child exits. A test covers release when a daemonized grandchild keeps the output pipes open.

Changes: Terminal exit handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bound output-pump draining `packages/provider-acp/src/server/clientTerminals.ts`, `packages/provider-acp/src/server/clientTerminals.test.ts`	The output pumps now run within the terminal scope. After child exit, their completion wait is bounded to one second. The test covers release both before and after `waitForExit`, and checks that output is retained while the daemon remains running.

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Possibly related issues

pingdotgg/t3code#28067: The issue describes exit status waiting on output-pump EOF while a grandchild holds the pipes open. This change bounds the pump wait, but does not add the issue's broader pending-RPC watchdog.

Possibly related PRs

pingdotgg/t3code#28078: This PR also bounds output-pump waiting before publishing the direct child’s exit status. The current change retains that grace period and scopes the pumps to address release and orphan-pump handling.

🟡 Medium server/clientTerminals.ts:303

After TERMINAL_OUTPUT_DRAIN_GRACE, release can prune a terminal while its detached stdout/stderr pumps still retain and append to record.buffer; repeated releases can therefore leave unbounded orphan buffers outside enforceTotalOutputLimit, exhausting server memory. The timeout only bounds the joins, not the pumps or their buffers; explicitly stop the pumps or clear and detach the buffer when pruning the record.

e6f7fbbbfe binds both pumps to terminalScope, so release stops them before snapshot pruning. Output continues after the drain grace until release. The real-process regression covers wait-then-release and direct release, and asserts both stream finalizers complete. Blacksmith check:changed passes.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The timeout prevents terminal exit and release from hanging on inherited pipes. The unresolved finding raises a server-memory exhaustion risk from surviving output pumps; bounded cleanup needs resolution.

Remove the test-specific deadline.

it.live permits wall-clock behavior for this subprocess fixture, but the testing rules still prohibit per-test timeouts. Remove Effect.timeoutOption("10 seconds") and its Option mapping. The existing nested cleanup already runs before disposeAll if the project test ceiling interrupts the test.

Keep the output pumps running after the drain grace expires.

After one second, the exit watcher interrupts both output pumps. It does this even when a grandchild still holds the pipes. The pumps then stop calling appendOutput, so output that the holder writes later is dropped. The PR objective says the pumps should continue until the holder exits.

Bound only the exit watcher's wait. Stop the pumps when the terminal is disposed. Fork them into terminalScope, which dispose already closes.

Suggested fix

diff

1	- const stdoutPump = yield* Effect.forkDetach(pump(child.stdout));
2	- const stderrPump = yield* Effect.forkDetach(pump(child.stderr));
3	+ const stdoutPump = yield* pump(child.stdout).pipe(Effect.forkIn(terminalScope));
4	+ const stderrPump = yield* pump(child.stderr).pipe(Effect.forkIn(terminalScope));

3	- Effect.all([Fiber.interrupt(stdoutPump), Fiber.interrupt(stderrPump)], {

The new test also needs an updated assertion. Once the watcher stops interrupting the pumps, they keep running until the holder exits. The test should check that they are still running after exit, and that they stop after release.

e6f7fbbbfe keeps pumps running after the grace and scopes them to terminalScope, stopping them at release. Fiber.await prevents pump interruption from cancelling exit notification. Both release paths pass in the real-process regression, along with check:changed.

CcoderabbitaiBot7d ago

@maria-rcks Thanks. The supplied code addresses this finding: the drain timeout leaves both pumps running, and terminal disposal stops them. Fiber.await also prevents pump interruption from cancelling exit notification.

fix(acp): retain terminal output pumps until releasee6f7fbb

Mmariareviewed7d ago

Mmaria7d ago

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Kept the one-second drain grace and moved output pumps into the terminal scope, so output continues until release and released terminals cannot retain orphan pumps. Fixed the regression fixture's script invocation and service scope, removed its test deadline, and covered both release orderings.

Blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, 14 package typechecks, and 16 tests. The terminal cases use real subprocesses and check pump cleanup, retained output, and holder liveness. Both independent code reviews approve e6f7fbbbfe; all three bot threads are addressed and resolved. The diff remains two files (+102/-3).

A real external ACP provider and browser client were not exercised. The PR body records that verification limit.

Final GitCafe snapshot: 28/28 successful checks, no pending or failing checks, no conflicts, and no unresolved review threads on e6f7fbbbfe703da055cecc15859bf332dd6ee2f6. Left open for Maria to merge.

Assert output emitted after waitForExit returns.
The holder emits the same PID before and after the drain grace. A Deferred triggered by a PID chunk can therefore complete before waitForExit returns. The current snapshot assertion can pass without proving post-grace capture.
In the waitBeforeRelease branch, trigger a distinct marker only after waitForExit returns. Await the stdout stream completion after that marker, then assert the marker before release. Use an event-driven control file and Deferred; do not use a sleep or polling loop.

Thanks for the takeover and for catching the orphan-pump retention, that is a real flaw in my version: bounded drains are not enough if the pumps keep buffering forever. Moving them into the terminal scope is the right shape, and keeping the drain grace while fixing the fixture is exactly the split I hoped for. Ready when you are.

Evidence

Run identical scripted ACP terminal requests in the real web app: spawn detached grandchildren retaining output pipes, wait for one direct child, release the other without waiting, observe live grandchildren and growing output, then clean up recorded PIDs. Linux Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic state on both sides. A temporary harness enables client terminals for the scripted replay agent on both commits; terminal implementation remains unchanged.

Not shown:

Native Devin-agent interaction: its executable is unavailable in this environment; the proof uses a scripted ACP agent exercising the real server terminal requests.
Session-wide disposeAll and internal pump termination were not separately observed; the captures demonstrate wait and both release paths completing while detached grandchildren remain alive.
