fix(daemon/remote): a failed or interrupted bundle extract no longer destroys the work tree - #993
Conversation
…hen-rename extractBundle removed the live extraction and only then renamed the new clone into place, so anything that went wrong in between left the link holding neither tree: the deferred staging cleanup deleted the replacement on the way out. The doc comment claimed the opposite, that staging plus rename kept dest intact on error, which is true only of a clone failure. Two reachable ways to hit it, both reproduced. A removal that fails partway (a subdirectory the daemon cannot delete) reports an error with the prior tree already gutted. And every upload is handled in its own goroutine, so two uploads of one link id interleaved their removal and rename, failing with "directory not empty" and letting one call's removal wipe a tree another had just published. Move the live tree aside into staging instead of deleting it, rename the clone into place, and put the old tree back if that fails. If the restore fails too, keep staging so the only remaining copy survives and name it in the error. A refcounted per-destination lock serializes extracts. Swapping a directory is two renames and cannot be made atomic, so the comment now says what the code actually guarantees: on every error return dest holds one of the two trees, but a crash between the renames leaves it in staging with nothing to reap it on restart. The clone's deadline now starts once the lock is held, and bundle verify gets its own. Sharing one gitTimeout meant an upload queued behind a slow clone spent its budget waiting and then failed on the clone. A staging cleanup that fails is logged rather than dropped, since staging now holds a whole copy of the prior tree.
Extracts stage into .staging-* directories created beside dest, in the bundle dir itself, but sanitizeLinkID accepted .staging-123, .git and ..foo. Link ids come from the client's --id flag and travel over the wire, so an id could name another extract's in-flight staging dir, whose removal then deletes that clone mid-flight. Refuse a leading '.' outright rather than only the two traversal names. That keeps the staging namespace out of reach by construction and drops the hidden-directory ids along with it. The check runs on the upload path too, so a bad id fails before the client dials. This rejects ids that used to be accepted. Nothing documents the charset and a dot-prefixed id was never useful, but an existing link named that way stops working and needs renaming.
Two holes were left after the swap fix. Swapping a directory is two renames, so a crash between them leaves the link's only tree sitting in a staging dir with nothing to put it back. And the lock that serializes extracts is in-process, so a second daemon pointed at the same --bundle-dir does not see it. Take a per-link advisory file lock (lockutil, the same kernel-held locks cron and swarm use) alongside the in-process one, under the lock dir .extract-locks, which link ids cannot name. The wait is bounded and respects the caller's context. Record the link id in the staging dir before moving its tree, then have NewBridge repair the dir once before it serves. A backup whose link has no live tree is put back, one whose link already has a tree is dropped, and a staging dir with no backup is only reaped once it is older than any clone could be, so a running extract is never swept out from under itself. A marker that does not name a valid link inside the bundle dir is refused and the tree left where it is, so a corrupt marker cannot steer a rename. Verified end to end against a real bridge over TLS: a daemon started on a bundle dir left mid-swap restores the link and logs it, where the previous build leaves it gone for good.
downloadVerifyExtract removed destDir and only then renamed the freshly extracted stage over it, the same shape just fixed in the remote bundle extractor. A rename that fails after the removal (or a crash in that window) leaves the user with no engine at all, and the deferred stage cleanup takes the replacement with it. Pull the promotion into promoteStagedDir, which sets the previous install aside instead of deleting it and puts it back if the rename fails. If that restore fails too, the set-aside copy is kept rather than cleaned up, and the error names it.
… tree A crashed extract and a running one leave the same thing on disk: the backup set aside in staging and dest briefly absent between the two renames. Recovery could not tell them apart, so a second daemon starting in that window restored the backup out from under the running extract. The upload then failed with a rename error and an apology naming a backup path that no longer existed. Only the per-link lock separates the two cases. Recovery now tries that lock without waiting and skips any link something still owns, which is also the right answer for a link another daemon is actively serving.
…restore Two ways the new startup recovery lost data, both found by an adversarial review on a second model and both reproduced before fixing. A link can have more than one staged backup: a staging cleanup that could not finish leaves one behind, and a later crash adds another. Recovery walked them in directory order, so an older leftover could be restored first and the newer backup then deleted as superseded. Order staged dirs newest backup first, and only drop a backup that is provably older than the live tree; a backup that is not may be the newer copy no restart has published yet. Link ids starting with '.' were legal until the previous commit, so a work tree may already be published under a name that now matches the staging prefix. The age reaper treated it as an abandoned extract and deleted it on the first start after upgrading. A directory with a .git at its root is not a staged extract, so leave it alone and say so.
WalkthroughBundle extraction and dictation installation promotion now use staged directory swaps, locking, rollback, and recovery. Bridge startup repairs interrupted bundle swaps, and dot-prefixed link IDs are reserved for internal staging paths. ChangesAtomic promotion and recovery
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves failed-extract recovery, but a retained backup can still be deleted after a later restart, potentially removing the only surviving work tree.

…tion promoteStagedDir sets the previous install aside before renaming the new one into place. A process stop between those two renames leaves destDir absent and the only usable install inside the .previous-* holder, and nothing looked at that holder: EnsureLocalEngine gates on fileExists and would download a fresh engine instead, so a host that cannot reach the network stayed without dictation while holding a working copy. Put the holder back before the idempotency check. Anything already at destDir wins, and that check is explicit rather than leaning on os.Rename refusing an existing directory.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Findings
-
[P2] Restore interrupted model promotion before checking model availability
internal/dictation/download.go:521
The root cause is thatpromoteStagedDiris shared by engine and model updates, while the new recovery wiring is specific toengineDir. If a process stops after the model directory is renamed to<modelDir>.previous-*/installbut before the staged directory is published,modelDiris absent. The next startup callsdirHasModel(modelDir)directly, falls intoresolveAsset/download, and never examines the holder containing the already verified model. Offline or restricted-network users therefore lose usable dictation until a download succeeds.Apply recovery at every consumer of the shared promotion transaction: restore
modelDirimmediately after it is derived and beforedirHasModel(modelDir), mirroring the engine path. Add a regression that plants an interrupted model holder, makes network resolution unavailable, and provesEnsureLocalEnginerestores and uses the local model rather than downloading. Keep the existing model digest and presence validation intact after restoration. -
[P3] Recover the newest retained installation, not the first glob match
internal/dictation/download.go:769
A cleanup failure can leave an old.previous-*holder. If a later promotion is interrupted, there are then two validinstalldirectories: the older leftover and the most recent live copy that was just moved aside. The root cause is that recovery takes the firstfilepath.Globmatch and returns; Glob's lexical ordering is unrelated toMkdirTempcreation order or install recency. Depending on the random suffixes, startup can silently restore the older engine/model and leave the most recent retained copy stranded.Establish an explicit recency rule for recoverable holders—e.g. persist sequence/timestamp metadata as part of the promotion transaction, or select the newest valid holder by verified metadata—and restore only that candidate. Cover the two-holder sequence (old cleanup survivor followed by a newer interrupted promotion) so recovery cannot regress to arbitrary lexical selection. Do not replace a live destination or discard a holder whose ordering cannot be established safely.
-
[P2] Make stale-backup cleanup independent of equal directory mtimes
internal/daemon/remote/bundle.go:371
The root cause is thatrestoreStagedBackupuses a strict directory-mtime comparison as its only proof that a backup is stale. A normal backup-and-publish sequence can assign equal directory mtimes on filesystems with coarse resolution, makingbackupInfo.ModTime().Before(destInfo.ModTime())false. Recovery then retains the supposedly superseded hidden work tree; the newTestRecoverBundleDirDropsBackupWhenTheLinkAlreadyHasATreealready fails on the current PR head in this state.Make both the recovery ordering and its test deterministic. Record or derive ordering from transaction-specific state rather than incidental directory timestamp precision, or explicitly control distinct mtimes in the fixture when the production contract intentionally treats ties as ambiguous. Preserve the fail-safe rule: a backup whose recency is genuinely unknown must remain intact rather than being deleted.
…t one promoteStagedDir is shared by the engine and the model, but only the engine path called restoreInterruptedPromotion. A stop after the model directory was renamed into its holder left modelDir absent, so the next start went straight to dirHasModel, missed the verified model sitting in the holder, and fell into resolveAsset. Offline that is not a slow path, it is no dictation at all. Recovery also took the first Glob match, whose lexical order says nothing about which install is more recent. A cleanup that could not finish leaves an older holder behind, and a later interrupted promotion then gives recovery two valid installs to choose between. The promotion now records its creation time in the holder name and recovery restores the newest, leaving any holder it cannot order intact rather than deleting it on a guess.
restoreStagedBackup proved a backup stale by comparing directory mtimes, which two directories can tie on: a filesystem with coarse timestamps gives the backup and the tree published over it the same value, and recovery then keeps a superseded work tree forever. The proof does not need a timestamp. A backup is filled by renaming dest aside, so it only ever holds the tree that was live before dest, and dest holding anything at all means a later extract published over it. That leaves one case where the ordering is genuinely unknown: a tree recovery itself just put back was not published over anything. Extracts now stamp their staging name with a creation time, so recovery restores the newest backup and drops the older ones it can order against it. A backup carrying no comparable order is kept and reported. The two tests that pinned the mtime contract move to this one. A backup newer than the live tree was reachable only by setting mtimes by hand, never by the transaction, so that case is replaced by the fail-safe that does hold.
destDir is a path, not a pattern, and filepath.Glob reads it as one. A '[' anywhere in the install root opens a character class, the pattern then matches nothing, and recovery quietly leaves the interrupted install stranded: the same outcome as having no recovery at all, for a user whose config directory happens to contain a bracket. Scanning the parent for the name prefix has no such reading, and is what the bundle side already does. The end-to-end test covers both consumers by driving the real promotion into the state a killed process leaves, then recovering it with no network to fall back on. It also asserts the holder name promoteStagedDir wrote is one holderStamp can read: restoring a lone holder works either way, so nothing else would notice the two halves drifting apart until a second holder appeared.
The recovery tests all planted their fixtures by hand, so none of them ran a name extractBundle actually writes. The new end-to-end test uploads over a real bridge, interrupts the swap the way a killed daemon interrupts it, and starts a fresh bridge over the same directory, asserting on the way through that the staging name recovery has to order by is the one the extract wrote. Also covers what recovery must not do: decide one link by another link's outcome, change anything on a second pass, or tell two backups stamped in the same instant apart. The reap path now runs against both name shapes.
|
All three are fixed, in 23da589, 1179915 and 46d12d8. [P2] Restore interrupted model promotion. Confirmed before touching anything: with a model holder planted and release resolution pointed at a closed listener, [P3] Recover the newest retained installation. Fixed by recording the order rather than inferring it. [P2] Stale-backup cleanup. One correction on the premise: I took the first option you offered rather than controlling mtimes in the fixture, because the comparison was not the right proof to start with. That leaves one case the argument does not cover: a tree recovery itself just restored was not published over anything. So extracts stamp their staging name as well, recovery restores the newest backup and drops only the older ones it can order against it, and one it cannot order is kept and logged. Two backups stamped in the same instant count as unorderable. Two things beyond what you flagged, both surfaced while covering the above. The sort feeding recovery was mtime-based too, so fixing only the drop side would have let recovery restore an older backup and then delete the newer one as superseded. It orders by the stamp now. Two tests that pinned the old contract moved with it, and the one asserting a backup newer than the live tree was reachable only by setting mtimes by hand, never by the transaction, so it is replaced by the fail-safe that does hold.
Recovery is now covered end to end on both sides through names the production code generates rather than fixtures, which is what caught the glob bug and a case where the holder writer and reader could have drifted apart with the suite still green. The PR body is updated: it still described the mtime rule, and its residual about the dictation promotion having no repair pass was stale. |

The kept-backup fail-safe does not survive a restart.
restored lives only for one recoverBundleDir call. On the next start the restored tree is at dest, restored is empty, so ours is false at Line 408 and the backup that this pass deliberately kept is deleted as superseded.
The justification for deleting is "a later extract published over it". That is not true for a tree a previous recovery pass restored, so the second copy is lost on the next daemon start. TestRecoverBundleDirKeepsAnUnorderableBackupAgainstATreeItRestored only covers the first pass, so it does not catch this.
One low-cost option: move a retained staging dir out of the stagingPrefix namespace, so later passes ignore it instead of reaping it.

[P2] Do not report a replacement upload as successful when its old tree could not be cleaned up
internal/daemon/remote/bundle.go:465
The swap moves the live checkout tostaging/backupbefore publishingstaging/repo. Once that publish succeeds, the deferred cleanup is the only step that removes the full previous checkout. Ifos.RemoveAll(staging)fails—for example due to a permission problem or a Windows process holding a file—the deferred function only logs and returns toreceiveBundle, which sendsOK: true; with no bridge logger, the stranded tree is entirely invisible. Repeated replacement uploads can consume the bundle volume with hidden.staging-*checkouts. The root cause is treating transactional cleanup as best-effort after declaring the operation successful. Make the cleanup outcome part of the operation result, or persist durable retryable cleanup state that startup can report and retry; preserve the intentional retained-backup behavior when publish or rollback itself fails. -
[P2] Surface failed cleanup of a previous dictation install
internal/dictation/download.go:850
promoteStagedDirfirst renames the prior engine/model intoholder/install, then publishes the staged install. On a successful publish, the deferred cleanup discards everyRemoveAll(holder)error even though that holder contains the complete old installation. This is not recovered on the next startup:restoreInterruptedPromotionreturns immediately wheneverdestDirexists, so old holders remain invisible and each future replacement can add another full engine/model. The root cause is the same post-commit cleanup blind spot, compounded by a recovery routine that only handles an absent destination. Propagate cleanup failure or persist/retry cleanup for holders after a successful commit; keep the current behavior that retains and names the holder when publishing or rollback fails. -
[P2] Do not use wall-clock time as proof of transaction order during recovery
internal/daemon/remote/bundle.go:458
The recovery sort treats thetime.Now().UnixNano()embedded in a staging name as a durable ordering key, but that value is wall-clock time—the monotonic component is not persisted—and can move backward after a VM resume, clock correction, or manual change. Consider an old staging backup left by a failed cleanup, followed by a later successful publish, then a newer interrupted publish after the clock moves backward. Recovery sorts the old backup first, restores it, and then classifies the newer backup as superseded and removes it; the link has been rolled back and its newest recoverable tree destroyed. The identical holder ordering ininternal/dictation/download.go:859can restore an old engine/model for the same reason. The root cause is using a non-monotonic timestamp as evidence of transaction order. Use an ordering that remains valid across wall-clock regressions, or treat candidates whose order cannot be established as unordered and retain them; preserve the current equal/unknown-order fail-safe.

Fixes #992.
The bundle extractor deleted a link's live work tree before it had anything to publish, so a failure or a crash in that window left the link holding neither the old tree nor the new one.
internal/dictation/download.gopromoted a downloaded engine the same way.Eleven commits, each with its own regression tests.
Publish by swap, not destroy-then-rename. The live tree moves aside into staging, the clone is renamed into place, and the old tree goes back if that fails. If the restore fails too, staging is kept so the only remaining copy survives and the error names it.
Serialize extracts per link id. In-process, plus a
lockutiladvisory file lock so a second daemon over the same--bundle-diris excluded too. The lock dir is dot-prefixed and link ids can no longer start with., which also keeps ids out of the.staging-namespace they could previously collide with.Repair on start. Swapping a directory is two renames and cannot be made atomic, so a crash between them still leaves the tree in staging.
NewBridgenow repairs the bundle dir once before serving: a backup whose link has no live tree is restored, one whose link already has a tree is dropped, and a staging dir with no backup is only reaped once it is older than any clone could be. Recovery takes the per-link lock first, so it never touches a link a live extract owns.Dropping rests on the shape of the transaction rather than on timestamps. A backup is filled by renaming the live tree aside, so it only ever holds the tree that was live beforehand, and the link having a tree at all means a later extract published over it. The one case that reasoning does not cover is a tree recovery itself just put back, since nothing was published over that. Extracts stamp their staging name with a creation time so recovery can restore the newest backup and drop only the older ones it can order against it; a backup it cannot order is kept and logged.
Dictation. The promotion is now
promoteStagedDir, which sets the previous install aside rather than deleting it and restores it if the rename fails. A stop between its two renames leaves the install in the holder with nothing at the destination, so both consumers of that transaction, the engine and the model, put it back before deciding anything needs downloading. The model is the one that matters offline: there is no download to fall back on. Holders carry the same creation stamp as staging dirs, so a holder left by a cleanup that could not finish cannot shadow a more recent one.Behavior change
sanitizeLinkIDnow rejects any id starting with., where it previously rejected only.and... Nothing documents the charset and a dot-prefixed id was never useful, but an existing link named that way stops working and needs renaming. A work tree already published under such a name is left alone by the repair pass rather than reaped, so upgrading does not delete it.Verification
Every claim here was run, not argued. Each defect was reproduced first with passing controls, then each guard was ablated individually and confirmed to fail without it, repeated 5 or 10 times where timing mattered.
End to end against a real bridge over TLS via
zero daemon serve-remoteandzero daemon link: upload, replace, a refused dot-prefixed id, four concurrent uploads of one link id, and two daemons sharing a bundle dir. For crash recovery there is a real control: on a bundle dir left mid-swap, a binary built frommainstarts and leaves the link gone, while this branch restores it, logs it, and the link accepts a fresh upload afterwards.Recovery is also covered end to end on both sides, through names the production code generates rather than fixtures: a real upload over the bridge, interrupted the way a killed daemon interrupts it, then repaired by a fresh bridge over the same directory; and a real engine and model install, interrupted mid-promotion, then recovered with release resolution pointed at a closed listener. Each fix was ablated again afterwards, including the two that only a second holder or a second backup would ever have exposed.
