Description

Game removal no longer blocks on deleting files. The removal RPC commits the library change, claims the game folder by renaming it to a hidden .ogi-removing-* sibling (on the per-game queue so a launch can't interleave), and returns a deletionTaskId. A background task then deletes the isolated folder file by file, streaming throttled game:removal-progress events to the renderer and keeping the latest snapshot in the main process.

The renderer shows the deletion as a progress bar in the game configuration modal and as a task in the Tasks tab. On load it pulls the main-process snapshots through app.getRemovalTasks, so a reload mid-deletion keeps the task visible, and dismissing finished tasks clears them on the main side via app.clearRemovalTasks. The main process sends the completion or failure notification itself so it fires exactly once. will-quit re-checks for running deletions on every attempt and defers exit until they settle.

Example

// removal RPC result
{ status: 'success', deletionTaskId: 'removal-620-1' }

// streamed to the renderer while the isolated folder is deleted
{ id: 'removal-620-1', appID: 620, gameName: 'Portal 2',
  status: 'running', progress: 42.5, deleted: 17, total: 40 }

Next Steps

  • Consider a startup sweep for orphaned .ogi-removing-* directories left by a crash mid-deletion.
  • Confirm the rename-aside behaves on Windows when a file inside the game folder is held open.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Game file removal now runs safely in the background with visible progress tracking.
    • Added removal tasks to the Tasks view, including status, completion, and error handling.
    • Removal progress is restored after restarting the application.
    • The app now waits for pending file removals to finish before closing.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented stale removal tasks from affecting a new removal.
    • Improved cleanup for completed and cancelled removal tasks.

- Delete removed game files in the background
- Stream progress to the renderer and tasks view

Greptile Summary

The PR moves game-file deletion into main-process background tasks while preserving progress across renderer reloads and waiting for active deletion during shutdown.

  • Isolates a game directory before asynchronously deleting its contents.
  • Streams removal progress into the configuration modal and Tasks view.
  • Retains task snapshots for renderer reloads and emits terminal notifications from the main process.
  • Tracks deletion promises so Electron defers shutdown until active removals settle.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge because no blocking failure remains from the previously reported removal-lifecycle issues.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
application/src/electron/handlers/handler.library.ts Implements isolated background deletion, task snapshots, progress events, unique task IDs, and shutdown-visible promise tracking.
application/src/electron/main.ts Defers each quit attempt while any registered game-file deletion remains active.
application/src/frontend/managers/GameManager.svelte Hydrates retained removal snapshots and upserts live progress without duplicating terminal notifications.
application/src/frontend/components/GameConfiguration.svelte Binds removal progress to the exact returned task ID and disables conflicting actions during deletion.
application/src/frontend/components/NotificationSideView.svelte Integrates removal tasks into the shared Tasks view and clears terminal snapshots on both sides.
application/src/lib/electron-rpc.ts Adds aligned removal-progress and task-management RPC contracts.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Game removal now isolates the directory, deletes files in the background, reports progress through IPC, and returns a deletion task ID. The renderer tracks exact tasks, displays progress in the game view and task center, and delays application quit until pending deletions finish.

Changes

Background game removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Removal contract and renderer state
application/src/lib/electron-rpc.ts, application/src/frontend/store.svelte.ts
Adds GameRemovalProgress, GameRemovalTask, task identifiers, and RPCs for querying and clearing removal tasks.
Background deletion lifecycle
application/src/electron/handlers/handler.library.ts, application/src/electron/main.ts
Renames removed directories to hidden sibling paths, deletes them asynchronously with progress tracking, exposes task procedures, and waits for pending deletions before quitting.
Progress transport and game removal view
application/src/electron/preload.mts, application/src/frontend/managers/GameManager.svelte, application/src/frontend/components/GameConfiguration.svelte
Forwards removal progress events, restores task state, matches the active task by ID, and displays deletion progress while disabling removal-related controls.
Task center integration and cleanup
application/src/frontend/components/NotificationSideView.svelte
Merges removal tasks with deferred tasks and clears only completed or errored removal records.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4bbb5

Asynchronous game removal can leave a removed game’s files hidden and untracked if the application exits during the directory handoff, and concurrent launch/removal requests may use stale state. The PR should not merge until removal ownership and per-game operation ordering are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Poem

A rabbit watched the folders hide,
While tidy tasks ran deep inside.
Progress hopped from file to file,
The task list grew a careful smile.
“Quit when done,” the moonlight said,
And every little byte was shed.
