Summary

Carries the tested reconnect repair into our maintained fork.

Upstream issue: munimtechnologies#16.
Upstream PR: munimtechnologies#17.

Scope: merge source only. This PR does not change the installed backend, extension or registration.

Terminate the Windows native-host relay when its server-to-Chrome reader finishes. Chrome keeps the host's stdin open while its native port exists; returning from the backend reader alone leaves the process blocked in the opposite direction. Chrome never sees native-port disconnect and the extension keeps a stale port.

This adds a Windows-only std::process::exit(0) at the end of that reader. It covers backend EOF/read failure and Chrome-output failure. Linux and macOS behavior, extension reconnect scheduling, MCP schemas, approval policy and dependencies remain unchanged.

Regression and CI

Add scripts/test-native-host-restart.py, a Python standard-library-only Windows harness using random isolated Win32 named pipes, explicit HANDLE signatures, bounded reads/writes and cleanup. No Chrome, registry or live backend is touched.

The four scenarios cover:

• Bidirectional UTF-8 native framing, fragmented and consecutive frames.
• Backend EOF while Chrome-side stdin remains open: relay must exit within three seconds.
• Normal Chrome-side stdin EOF while the backend remains open.
• Replacement relay and replacement backend reusing the same pipe after simulated restart.

The Windows CI job now builds the executable and runs the harness with Python 3.11.

Executed validation

Based on current main, deb4c7a:

• cargo test --locked --manifest-path windows-linux/Cargo.toml: 93 passed on Windows.
• cargo build --locked --manifest-path windows-linux/Cargo.toml: passes.
• Harness with the fix: 4/4 pass.
• Restore original run_native_host, rebuild, rerun: 2/4 pass, backend EOF and restart fail because the host stays alive after three seconds.
• Restore fix, rebuild, rerun: 4/4 pass, backend EOF exits in 0.157 seconds in that run.
• git diff --check: passes.

Earlier validation of the same five-line repair on release v0.6.0: Windows source tests 92/92; Linux source tests baseline and patched 94/94 each; initialization, all 32 MCP schemas and disconnected response comparison unchanged. Those release-base checks are distinct from the current-main Windows results above. Fork CI and reviewer results must be inspected before merging.

A local native-host-only deployment restored live Chrome list/open/read/close after a one-time retirement of verified stale relays. Chrome automatically launched replacements. No live gateway restart or OS reboot was used as a test. The isolated regression verifies process/transport restart, not the Chrome reconnect scheduler itself.

Risk and scope

Process exit skips destructors and can interrupt an in-flight browser action when the backend disappears. That is preferable to retaining a dead native port. Completed outbound frames are flushed by the existing loop before EOF is observed. Exit is confined to the Windows native-host subprocess; it cannot terminate the MCP/backend process.

No changes to site approvals, desktop fallback, Chrome profiles, or the separate child-tab ownership defect (munimtechnologies#14).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • On Windows, the browser now detects when its native-host connection closes, even if the browser’s input stream is still open. This prevents the connection from appearing active after the host has disconnected and allows the browser to respond to the disconnection. Other platforms are unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Windows native-host relay now exits when its backend reader reaches EOF. A new Windows-only regression script tests framing, EOF handling, and backend restart. Windows CI builds the native host and runs the script.

Changes

Windows Native-Host Relay and Regression Tests

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Exit relay on backend EOF windows-linux/src/browser.rs	On Windows, the relay process exits when its backend reader reaches EOF.
Exercise native-host framing, EOF, and restart scripts/test-native-host-restart.py	The script tests bidirectional UTF-8 JSON framing, backend EOF, Chrome stdin EOF, and a replacement backend using the same pipe name. It bounds I/O and process waits, and reports each test result.
Run regression tests in Windows CI .github/workflows/ci.yml	The Windows job installs Python 3.11, builds the locked Cargo manifest, and runs the regression script against the debug executable.

Note

🤖 gpt-6.1-sol responding on behalf of Elliot

Reviewed both bots. Corrected the valid usage-path finding in d515731 and reran --help plus all four native-host checks. The generic 80% docstring-coverage warning is not an upstream CI gate; no runtime change is needed for it. CodeRabbit could not run Clippy, so that is not a passing lint result. The first macOS run built Swift and passed bridge tests, but failed the existing sign-in-cancel E2E with no live DevTools target answered, then ENOTEMPTY in Chrome-profile cleanup. The new commit reruns CI; I will not report that failure as green or merge while the latest checks are unresolved.
