Fixes #3009.

ocx service repair reported a terminal failure at its 20s health deadline for a service that bound a few seconds later and then stayed healthy. This follows the review on the issue, which asked for a longer Windows budget, a final probe at the deadline, and a message that prints the real wait.

What changed

Windows gets a 45s budget; nothing else changes. The cold start does NTFS ACL hardening and previous-session journal recovery before the listener is announced, so the 20s that is plenty elsewhere is not always enough there. serviceInstallHealthMs(platform) keeps the other platforms on SERVICE_INSTALL_HEALTH_MS, so a healthy Linux or macOS install cannot be slowed down by this.

One more knock after the deadline. The loop's last probe starts before the deadline, so a service that binds while that probe is in flight was reported as dead. It now waits a short grace and knocks once more before calling it a failure.

A caller that passed a zero budget still gets exactly the single probe it asked for — waited is only set once a sleep has actually happened, so "do not wait" keeps meaning that.

The message prints the time actually waited. It printed SERVICE_INSTALL_HEALTH_MS whatever timeoutMs the caller passed, so a caller with its own budget was told it had waited 20 seconds regardless.

process.exitCode = 1 on a genuine failure is unchanged. As the comment there says, the GUI update worker reads the child's exit status, and a registered-but-silent service must not look like a successful update.

Tests

bun test tests/service.test.ts137 pass, 3 skip, 0 fail. bun x tsc --noEmit clean.

Added, matching the two cases the review asked to pin:

  • accepts a service that binds during the grace after the deadline — the probe answers only once the clock is past the deadline, which is the shape the report describes
  • still fails a service that never binds — the budget is still a bound, not a suggestion
  • gives Windows a longer cold-start budget than the other platforms — asserts the relationship and that the others are untouched, rather than hard-coding 45s

Mutation-checked. Removing the grace probe:

(fail) confirmServiceServing > accepts a service that binds during the grace after the deadline
136 pass, 1 fail

One existing test changed

probes at least once even with a zero budget asserted toBe(1). The grace probe adds one when the caller did give the wait some time, so the exact count is no longer the contract — it is now toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1), which is what the test's own name asks and still catches a version that returns without knocking at all. Flagging it explicitly since changing an existing assertion deserves a look.

Not in this PR

#3008 came out of the same recovery session but is a different file and a different failure point, and the review asked to keep them apart. Same for the ACL hardening itself (#3011), which is assigned.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The service health check now uses a 45-second Windows budget and a 20-second budget on other platforms. It performs one 500 ms grace probe after the deadline and reports the measured wait duration on failure.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform-aware health wait and validation
src/service.ts, tests/service.test.ts
serviceInstallHealthMs() returns 45 seconds for Windows and 20 seconds for Linux and macOS. confirmServiceServing performs a final probe after a 500 ms grace period. reportServiceServing reports measured elapsed time. Tests cover successful grace-period binding, continued failure, zero-budget probing, and platform-specific budgets.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b9c83

The change extends Windows service readiness to 45 seconds and adds a final grace-period probe while preserving fail-closed exits. Merge readiness is currently reduced because the regression tests do not yet pin the required Windows budget or prove that zero-budget callers perform exactly one probe; this is a bounded test-assurance issue rather than evidence of a production logic failure.

리뷰 · 우선순위 68 / 80

이 PR은 Windows에서 ocx service repair/install/start가 이미 뜨고 있는 프록시를 죽은 것처럼 보고하는 문제를 고친다. 이슈는 #3009다. 지금 dev HEAD 4180067b4src/service.ts confirmServiceServing은 기본 예산 SERVICE_INSTALL_HEALTH_MS = 20_000으로 500ms 간격 프로브만 돌리고, 데드라인에 닿으면 바로 { ok: false }를 반환한다. Windows 콜드 스타트는 NTFS ACL 강화와 이전 세션 저널 복구가 리스너보다 먼저 돌아가서, 보고대로 20초를 조금 넘겨 바인딩한 뒤에도 정상 서비스인 경우가 있다. 그때 repair가 실패(exit 1)로 끝나면 호출 쪽 폴백이 곧 잡힐 포트에 두 번째 프록시를 또 띄우려 한다. 등록은 됐는데 serving은 아닌 상태를 “완전 실패”로 취급하는 비용이 크다.

고침은 세 갈래다. 첫째, SERVICE_INSTALL_HEALTH_WINDOWS_MS = 45_000serviceInstallHealthMs(platform)을 추가해 win32만 긴 예산을 쓰고 linux/darwin은 기존 20초를 유지한다. 기본 데드라인만 serviceInstallHealthMs()로 바꾸고, 호출자가 timeoutMs를 넘기면 예전처럼 그 값이 이긴다. 둘째, 루프가 데드라인에서 바로 실패하지 않고 break한 뒤, 한 번이라도 sleep을 돌렸으면( waited ) 짧은 grace 후 프로브를 한 번 더 한다. 마지막 프로브가 데드라인 전에 시작돼 그 사이에 바인딩된 경우를 #3009 형태로 받는다. 예산 0은 waited === false라 grace를 건너뛰어 “기다리지 마” 계약을 지킨다. 셋째, reportServiceServing 경고 문구가 상수 20초가 아니라 실제로 기다린 초를 찍는다. 호출자가 다른 timeoutMs를 준 경우에도 메시지가 거짓말하지 않는다. process.exitCode = 1은 그대로다. GUI 업데이트 워커가 자식 exit를 보기 때문이다.

테스트는 tests/service.test.ts에 grace 성공, 끝까지 실패, Windows>다른 플랫폼 예산 관계 세 개를 추가했다. 기존 “zero budget은 최소 한 번 프로브” 단언은 toBe(1)에서 toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1)로 풀렸다. zero budget 경로 자체는 grace를 안 타므로 여전히 1에 가깝지만, 이름 기준 계약은 “최소 한 번”이 맞다. 본문은 grace를 빼면 해당 테스트만 깨진다고 mutation 확인까지 적었다. 로컬 bun test tests/service.test.ts 137 pass / tsc clean. types.ts/config.ts 분할과 무관하고 미리보기 배포도 없다. #3008·#3011은 의도적으로 이 PR 밖이다.

다만 리뷰 준비 체크리스트 4칸이 아직 비어 있고 review-ready 라벨도 없다. 게이트 봇 기준으로는 아직 draft 계약이다. CI 쪽 enforce-target/hygiene/label/resolve-pr은 통과로 보인다.

src/service.ts SERVICE_INSTALL_HEALTH_WINDOWS_MS 45000 - Windows만 늘린다. 보고(#3009) 대비 여유는 있으나 매직 넘버라 근거 코멘트가 이미 붙어 있는 점은 좋다.
src/service.ts serviceInstallHealthMs - 기본 예산만 플랫폼 분기. 명시 timeoutMs 호출(예: 짧은 tray/status 프로브)은 안 건드린다.
src/service.ts confirmServiceServing grace - waited 가드가 zero-budget 계약을 지킨다. 방향 맞다.
src/service.ts reportServiceServing 경과 초 - 상수 대신 실측. 호출자 커스텀 예산과 메시지가 일치한다.
경로 체크리스트 / review-ready - 4칸 미체크. 본문 검증은 적혀 있어도 게이트상 아직 ready가 아니다.
tests/service.test.ts toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1) - zero-budget 정확 횟수 단언을 느슨하게 바꿈. 의도는 이해되나, zero 경로만 따로 toBe(1)로 남기면 회귀가 더 빡빡하다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천

방향은 맞고 #3009를 닫는 올바른 크기의 수정이다. 체크리스트를 채우고 review-ready가 붙으면 머지하세요. 여유 있으면 zero-budget 케이스는 toBe(1)로 다시 고정하는 편이 낫다. 라벨은 바꾸지 않습니다. types.ts/config.ts 분할로 닫을 대상이 아니고 미리보기 배포도 없습니다.

On Windows, `ocx service repair` reported failure at its fixed 20s health
deadline for a service that bound a few seconds later and then stayed
healthy. The cold start does NTFS ACL hardening and previous-session journal
recovery before the listener is announced, so 20s is not always enough, and
the caller's fallback to a terminal failure is to start a second proxy
against a port that is about to be taken.

Windows now gets a 45s budget; the other platforms keep 20s. The wait also
knocks once more after a short grace when the deadline passes, because the
probe that ran last started before the deadline and a service binding during
it was reported as dead. A caller that passed a zero budget still gets the
single probe it asked for.

The failure message prints the time actually waited. It printed the 20s
constant whatever timeoutMs the caller passed.

Restore the exact zero-budget assertion.

At Line 3148, toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1) also passes if confirmServiceServing({ timeoutMs: 0 }) incorrectly performs a grace sleep and a second probe. The zero-budget contract requires only the immediate probe. Use toBe(1) here, and keep the greater-than-one assertion in the positive-timeout grace test.

Proposed test fix
-      expect(probes).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1);
+      expect(probes).toBe(1);

Requesting changes on exact head b9c837c9c4d0f31c716ef2c5e37a522202c839a5.

The platform-specific budget and one final post-deadline probe are reasonable for #3009, but the current regression contract is weakened in two places already identified by the unresolved inline review:

  1. Restore toBe(1) for the zero-budget case. With toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1), a future implementation can incorrectly sleep and perform grace probes even when the caller explicitly requested no wait, and the test still passes. The positive-timeout test is the correct place to require multiple probes.
  2. Pin the selected Windows budget exactly (SERVICE_INSTALL_HEALTH_WINDOWS_MS / 45_000), while continuing to assert Linux and macOS remain on SERVICE_INSTALL_HEALTH_MS. A merely-relative assertion does not protect the product decision this PR introduces.

This head is behind current dev and has only hygiene/target checks. Please resolve those focused test gaps, rebase, and run exact-head Windows/service CI before another review.

Superseded by #3104, which keeps your production logic exactly as written — the Windows budget, the waited guard, and the grace probe.

Two test changes. The zero-budget assertion is restored to expect(probes).toBe(1): toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1) passes against a version that sleeps when the caller asked not to wait, which is the one thing that test exists to forbid. Your waited guard already preserves the contract, so nothing needed relaxing. And the Windows budget is pinned to 45_000 absolutely rather than > linux, since the reported service bound past 20s and a relational assertion accepts 21s.

#3104 also carries the #3064 fix, because both are in src/service.ts. Mutation evidence is in its description.

Triaged in the 2026-08-31 non-priority-70 bug round.
