fix(daemon): make daemon stop follow the process, not the endpoint - #1379
Merged
Conversation
`fbuild daemon stop` knew two states: the endpoint answers, or there is no daemon. #1360 reported the third — a daemon grown to ~3.9 GB that had stopped answering `/health` while its process kept running and kept owning the port. `stop` read that as "not running", deleted the pid/port/claim records, printed a success line and exited 0. The wedged process survived every `stop` the user typed, and clearing the records made it harder to find afterwards. `StopPlan` now names all three cases and is decided apart from the I/O, so the contract is testable without a live daemon and without killing a real process: - healthy endpoint -> ask it to leave (graceful exit releases serial ports and flushes the log) - silent + live PID -> terminate, then confirm the process is gone - silent + no live PID -> nothing to stop; clear the stale records The graceful path no longer trusts a silent endpoint to mean a dead process either: when the PID is known it waits for the process itself and escalates if it outlives its budget. Identity is fail-closed — a recorded PID is only ever signalled when the image at that PID really is an fbuild-daemon, so a stale pid file plus a recycled PID cannot make `stop` terminate an unrelated process. The same report's second half: a wedged daemon surfaced as `Compilation failed for board teensy40`, sending people to read their own sketch. The spawn-failure error now says up front that no compilation was attempted, and — only when a live daemon PID backs the claim — names the wedged case and its recovery. `daemon_stop.rs` is a split of `daemon_cmd.rs`, which the additions would otherwise push over the 1000-LOC gate. No behavior moved with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Do not infer an unresponsive daemon from health() == false.
health() returns false for both transport failures and non-2xx responses. The new helper receives only a live PID, then states that the daemon is not answering and recommends stopping it. A reachable daemon that returns 503 can therefore produce a false wedged-daemon diagnosis and lead users to stop a usable daemon.
Preserve the health-probe outcome. Emit this hint only for connection or timeout failures. Use a neutral unhealthy-daemon message for HTTP failures.

Completes the remaining half of #1360. The profiling half (mimalloc-pprof heap
profiling in
fbuild-daemon) landed in #1365; what was left was the report'sother two findings.

/healthwhile its process kept running and kept owning the port.stopreadthat as "not running", deleted the pid/port/claim records, printed a success
line and exited 0. The wedged process survived every
stopthe user typed, andclearing the records made it harder to find afterwards; the reporter fell back
to
taskkill /F /IM fbuild-daemon.exe.StopPlannow names all three cases, decided apart from the I/O so the contractis testable without a live daemon and without killing a real process:
The graceful path no longer trusts a silent endpoint to mean a dead process
either: when the PID is known it waits on the process itself and escalates if it
outlives its budget.
Identity is fail-closed. A recorded PID is only ever signalled when the image at
that PID really is an
fbuild-daemon, so a stale pid file plus a recycled PIDcannot make
stopterminate an unrelated process. Unverifiable identity countsas "not our daemon".
Scope is deliberately this endpoint's daemon. Daemons are keyed per backend
version + cache identity (#1009), so another checkout's daemon is a legitimate
neighbour, not debris —
kill-allstays the global hammer.The failure read as a compile error
The spawn-failure error now says up front that no compilation was attempted,
and — only when a live daemon PID actually backs the claim — names the wedged
case and points at the recovery. Without that evidence it says nothing rather
than guessing: the existing version-mismatch explanation is usually the right
one, and a speculative second diagnosis would talk over it.
Tests
7 unit tests, all pure over the decision boundary:
plan_stopcases, including the one fbuild-daemon grows to ~3.9GB while idle then fails health check; heap-profile entry points not wired #1360 reportedfbuild-daemon → must be rejected)
wait_for_process_exitreturns immediately for a dead PID rather than burningthe budget
fbuild daemon stopNot in scope
daemon_stop.rsis a split ofdaemon_cmd.rs, which the additions wouldotherwise push over the 1000-LOC gate. No behavior moved with it.
#1360 also suggests wiring tokio-console for off-CPU profiling. That needs
--cfg tokio_unstableacross the build, which is a different change with adifferent blast radius; it is not folded in here.
