Fixes #919.

Problem

The worker pool could finish draining while a launcher was still in progress, allowing a late worker to escape shutdown cleanup.

Fix

  • Track in-progress launches so Drain cannot mistake them for an idle pool.
  • Keep Drain bounded while it waits for a late-launch cleanup path.
  • Kill and reap a worker that finishes launching after draining begins.
  • Treat draining as terminal: it interrupts retry and tempfail delays rather than retrying or returning ErrPermanent.
  • Add deterministic regressions for launch-versus-drain and retry-delay shutdown races.

Verification

  • go test -race ./internal/daemon -run '^TestPool' -count=20
  • make fmt-check
  • go vet ./...
  • go run ./cmd/zero-release build
  • go run ./cmd/zero-release smoke
  • make vulncheck
  • git diff HEAD --check

The prior PDF parser work was removed from this PR following review and is retained separately for a future maintainer decision.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved worker pool shutdown behavior when draining begins during worker startup.
    • Ensured newly launched workers are terminated and awaited during shutdown.
    • Interrupted retry delays promptly when draining starts.
    • Prevented additional retries and launches after shutdown begins.
    • Ensured running operations return the appropriate draining status.
    • Improved server shutdown for sessions waiting during retry or temporary-failure delays.

Walkthrough

The pool tracks in-progress launches during draining. It interrupts retry delays, cleans up workers created after draining starts, and bounds waits for stuck launchers. Server shutdown publishes drain state before cancelling sessions. Tests cover these flows.

Changes

Pool drain coordination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Run and launch lifecycle
internal/daemon/pool.go, internal/daemon/server.go
Run returns ErrPoolDraining without retries or permanent-error wrapping. Worker launches are tracked, and late-created workers are killed and awaited. Server.Shutdown begins draining before cancelling session contexts.
Drain completion and late-launch cleanup
internal/daemon/pool.go
Drain includes pending launches, wakes retry sleeps, and waits for late launchers for a bounded period.
Drain synchronization tests
internal/daemon/pool_test.go, internal/daemon/server_test.go
Tests verify tracked-worker synchronization, late-launch cleanup, bounded blocked-launch waits, retry interruption, and server shutdown behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 42aed

The shutdown change can report an already successful request as failed when draining starts at the completion boundary, potentially causing callers to retry completed work. The related regression tests also retain timing-sensitive behavior and do not fully cover a blocked late-launch path, so these issues should be addressed before merging.

The daemon half is good and I want it. The PDF half rests on an advisory that has since been withdrawn, so I would like to see the two separated.

The pool fix is real

I checked it the way I check my own: reverted pool.go to main, kept your new test, and it fails naming the exact thing.

--- FAIL: TestPoolDrainKillsWorkerLaunchedAfterDrainStarts
    pool_test.go:266: Drain returned while a launcher was still in progress

With the fix restored it is green, including under -race repeated. The launching counter closes a genuine window: Drain could see an empty active map while a launcher was mid-flight and return as though the pool were quiet. Terminating on ErrPoolDraining rather than backing off and then wrapping it as permanent is right too.

One thing I could not confirm, so I am not claiming it: I have a TestPoolDrainKillsStraggler failure on another branch's Windows run, and I could not reproduce it either on main or on this branch. I would not describe this as fixing that flake without better evidence.

GO-2026-6115 was withdrawn

The description gives the PDF swap this reason:

PDF ingestion also depended on github.com/ledongthuc/pdf, which is affected by GO-2026-6115 and has no fixed upstream release.

That was true when you opened this. It stopped being true about an hour later:

summary:   WITHDRAWN: Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in rsc.io/pdf and forks
withdrawn: 2026-08-18T20:22:32Z

And against the checker itself, on current main, still on ledongthuc/pdf:

No vulnerabilities found.   (exit 0)

So there is nothing left to remediate. Not a bad call on your part, the ground moved under it.

What I would want before swapping the parser regardless

github.com/Detective-XH/gopdf is two months old, zero stars, zero forks, one maintainer, last pushed six weeks ago, and not a fork of an established parser. That is a thin trust anchor for the component that parses untrusted files a user hands the agent. The withdrawn advisory was about denial of service in PDF parsing, which is exactly the risk profile of an unaudited new parser.

It also pulls golang.org/x/text into the graph. Fine in itself, though the comment being replaced specifically claimed no transitive deps as part of the static binary posture.

None of that says the library is bad. It says the decision now needs a reason of its own rather than an advisory that no longer exists, and choosing a new trust anchor for untrusted input is kevin's call rather than mine.

Ask

Split it. The pool fix I will approve on sight as its own PR. If you still want the parser change, make the case on merit and let it be judged as a dependency decision.

Worth keeping either way: resolvePageCount falling back to pdfinfo is a real improvement over deriving the count from the in-process reader alone.

344-358: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the bounded-wait assertion timing-independent.

This negative assertion still races the wall clock. Drain returns about 200 ms after it starts (two 100 ms windows). The 150 ms window starts only after waitFor(t, pool.isDraining) returns, and waitFor polls with a 1 ms sleep that can take about 15 ms on Windows. A few polls consume the 50 ms margin, and Line 350 then fails on correct code.

Measure elapsed time from the Drain start instead.

💚 Proposed fix
 	drained := make(chan struct{})
+	start := time.Now()
 	go func() { pool.Drain(); close(drained) }()
-	waitFor(t, pool.isDraining)
 	// The first timeout accounts for the launch in progress. The second, separate
 	// timeout is what keeps Drain bounded once no handle exists to kill yet.
 	select {
 	case <-drained:
-		t.Fatal("Drain returned before the separately bounded late-launch wait")
-	case <-time.After(150 * time.Millisecond):
-	}
-	select {
-	case <-drained:
+		if elapsed := time.Since(start); elapsed < 200*time.Millisecond {
+			t.Fatalf("Drain returned after %s, want at least both bounded waits (200ms)", elapsed)
+		}
 	case <-time.After(2 * time.Second):
 		t.Fatal("Drain did not return after the bounded blocked-launch wait")
 	}

As per coding guidelines, "Code and tests must pass on Linux, macOS, and Windows."

You split it, so this is the on-sight approval I promised. Four files, no go.mod, no parser change.

Re-checked the pool fix on the current head rather than standing on what I looked at in August. Reverting the launching term out of the drain wait fails two tests naming the exact thing:

--- FAIL: TestPoolDrainKillsWorkerLaunchedAfterDrainStarts
    Drain returned while a launcher was still in progress
--- FAIL: TestPoolDrainBoundsBlockedLauncher
    Drain returned before the separately bounded late-launch wait

Green with it restored, including -race -count=3. The second bounded wait for the late-launch path is a good addition since I last looked, and bounding it rather than waiting forever is the right call for a Launcher that ignores ctx.

One observation, not a blocker. The beginDrain() before s.cancel() in Shutdown is new since my review and I could not get any test to notice its removal: deleting that line leaves the daemon package green, and nothing in the tree names beginDrain. The reasoning in your comment is right and the ordering is what I would want, so I am not holding the PR for it, but it is currently four lines of load-bearing ordering with nothing pinning them. Worth a test whenever you are next in there.

Branch is twelve commits behind main. CI is green and GitHub says mergeable, so that is your call.

The test waited on pool.QueueDepth() == 1, which reflects slot-channel
occupancy set immediately after Run acquires a slot. Drain(), however,
reads len(p.active), and the worker handle is only added to p.active in
runOnce after Launcher returns. On loaded CI runners the test goroutine
could call Drain() in the window between slot acquisition and worker
tracking, causing Drain() to take the early 'all workers drained' return
and never force-kill the straggler.

Synchronize on the state Drain() actually reads by waiting for the
worker to appear in WorkerStats() (which is built from p.active). Also
add a comment explaining why WorkerStats is the right signal here.

Fixes Gitlawb#919.
Replace the GO-2026-6115 parser with Detective-XH/gopdf so text extraction
and page counts still work without Poppler, keep page counting independent
of pdftotext, and stop Run from retrying ErrPoolDraining so late-launch
drain cleanup cannot hang or wrap as ErrPermanent.
A panic or early return from Launcher left launching elevated, so Drain
could wait forever after the grace window. Decrement via defer unless
the worker was already moved into the active set.
… counts

Cap the post-kill launching wait to KillTimeout so a stuck Launcher cannot
wedge shutdown, surface in-flight launch errors as ErrPoolDraining, and
keep successful pdftotext page counts on the in-process reader.
Page counting was still tied to which text extractor won, so a successful
pdftotext path never asked pdfinfo. Count independently, and document that
Poppler is preferred when present.

Rebase validation note

The branch was rebased onto current main (27b319ca88a3180bed5183f0c599e9307f3ece12) and pushed as b3faaa13fe39f096f69b41e56c84e76c2f109536.

Two required broad commands expose one unrelated pre-existing TUI test failure:

  • go test ./...
  • make test (go test ./... -race -count=1)

Both fail only internal/tui.TestAltScreenTranscriptScrollKeepsFooterFixed at internal/tui/scroll_test.go:131. The test sets m.gitBranch = "feat/pinned-header", renders at width 90, and expects both that branch string and gpt-4.1 in the pinned title bar. In this isolated checkout the rendered title bar contains the long checkout path plus openai/gpt-4.1, but not feat/pinned-header:

/home/pi/pr-review/rebase-Gitlawb-zero-927-LNAV6Axb/checkout/internal/tui   openai/gpt-4.1
...
bottom view should keep title bar fixed

The detailed cause is width-sensitive fallback in model.titleBar: the full workspace candidate includes branch plus cwd, does not fit at width 90 under this long checkout path, and startupHeaderLine falls back to the cwd-only candidate. The assertion therefore depends on checkout-path length even though it is testing pinned-header behavior.

I ran the exact go test ./... command on all three trees with the same environment:

  • current main: 27b319ca88a3180bed5183f0c599e9307f3ece12 — same failure
  • pre-rebase PR head: 42aedd763941f8ccdcfc327abf8e70759df958b0 — same failure
  • rebased PR head: b3faaa13fe39f096f69b41e56c84e76c2f109536 — same failure

make test on the rebased head fails on that same assertion. All daemon validation is green, including go test -race ./internal/daemon -run "^TestPool" -count=20 and go test -race ./internal/daemon -count=3. Formatting, vet, build, smoke, static lint, performance smoke, and govulncheck also pass. The broad-test failures were explicitly waived for this rebase because they reproduce unchanged on main and the old head.

Approving at a0c32457. The commit since my last review answers what I asked for.

The race is real on the parent commit and closed here: running the parent's pool_test.go and this one against a byte-identical pool.go, interleaved in one saturating-load window at GOMAXPROCS=1, the parent failed 23 of 300 on "Drain returned before the separately bounded late-launch wait" and this head failed 0 of 300. A real flake removed, none added.

Every load-bearing piece dies under a surgical revert, each on a property assertion rather than a setup guard: dropping launching from the drain count fails on "Drain returned while a launcher was still in progress", deleting the second bounded wait fails on the 200ms floor, removing case <-p.drained from Pool.sleep fails on "Run remained in retry delay after Drain" in every one of 50 iterations, and removing the post-launch drain kill fails on "Drain did not kill the worker launched after draining began". Launch accounting decrements exactly once on all four exit paths including a panicking launcher, the launching to active handoff happens under one lock so Drain cannot observe zero in between, and three concurrent Drain() calls give one kill and one wait with no leaked goroutine.

Three non-blocking notes, none worth holding this for.

The drain re-check at pool.go:202 sits between runOnce and the result switch, so a worker that streamed everything and exited zero inside the grace window returns ErrPoolDraining instead of (0, nil). It does not reach anyone: with the production launcher, Shutdown cancels before draining and os/exec turns a post-cancel clean exit into ctx.Err() anyway, streamToClient takes case <-s.done and writes CtrlEnd first, and Session.exitCode has no reader in the package. If you do move it, move it below case code == 0: return 0, nil rather than into the error arm, since the error-arm variant regresses a force-killed worker back to "worker failed permanently", which is the outcome this PR exists to remove.

TestServerShutdownMakesRetryDelaysDrainTerminal pins the pool half deterministically, but it only samples the server.go ordering: delete s.opts.Pool.beginDrain() from Shutdown and it still passes 25 of 25 at -count=1. It took -count=2000 to catch, and CI runs plain go test ./.... A deterministic pin looks reachable without touching production code, since Shutdown closes tracked connections between s.cancel() and Drain(), so a fake connection with a blocking Close parks it in exactly the racing window.

The D10 comment went with track(). Behaviour is unchanged and the contract still reads at pool.go:97, but nothing guards it: re-keying active and untrack to handle.Pid() leaves the whole daemon suite green while a two-live-workers-same-pid probe drops a handle. Worth a line back.
