PR 033 P1: Handle non-extensible internal promises - #34
Conversation
A promise is not private between the allocation that makes it and the next statement: an ordinary `async_hooks` init hook receives each newly allocated promise as its own resource and can seal it there, so the own `constructor` this module installs to keep an `await` on its fast path may throw before it can land. Combined with a persistently replaced `Promise.prototype.constructor` and `Promise.prototype.then`, every internal `await` in the termination chain is then pushed into thenable assimilation and left with no continuation, so an ordinary timeout — and the mandatory hardening rejection — never settle. Internal promises are now allocated from an `InternalPromise` whose prototype is created and frozen at module load with `constructor` fixed to the captured intrinsic, so the recognition test is answered one link before `Promise.prototype` and needs no own property on the instance. The platform termination steps report through that capability instead of through the promise the runtime makes for an `async` function, which cannot be protected at all. `protectPromiseResolution` stays as a secondary layer whose failure is now survivable rather than silent.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe process transport now uses hardened internal promises and explicit callbacks for termination, taskkill, child-exit, and close-wait operations. Adversarial tests cover sealed promises, hostile intrinsic mutations, cleanup, restoration, and process settlement. ChangesProcess termination hardening
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change hardens settlement-critical internal promises and preserves the existing transport contract. Merge readiness remains low risk but requires follow-up because regression tests may report success without proving the transport exercised the failure path, one invariant check can miss absent boundaries, and POSIX-specific sealed-mode behavior is not directly validated.

An async_hooks init callback receives each InternalPromise after its prototype is installed but before construction returns, so it can call Object.setPrototypeOf(resource, Promise.prototype) and then make the resource non-extensible. In that scenario protectPromiseResolution cannot add the own constructor, and later mutations of Promise.prototype.constructor and .then again send the internal awaits through the hostile thenable path, leaving timeout and hardening-release exchanges pending. Freezing InternalPromise.prototype does not prevent changing an individual promise's prototype; the mechanism needs to survive an observed instance being reparented as well as sealed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Counters can be satisfied by the probe's own controls, not only by the transport.
countedDefineProperty matches any definition of constructor whose value is REAL_PROMISE. Two of those definitions belong to the probe itself: protectLikeRepair (Line 1475) and the OwnedPromise prototype setup (Line 1487).
OwnedPromise runs before the baseline capture, so PROTECTION_FAILURES_BEFORE_CALL=0 still holds. But protectLikeRepair runs after settlement while the seal hook is still enabled. Its failed definition increments protectionFailures. So PROTECTION_FAILURES=[1-9] in expectSealedProtectionFailed can pass even if the transport never reached a failed protection.
Record the counters at settlement time to attribute them to the exchange only.

let settlement = null; settlement = result;

+ console.log('PROTECTION_FAILURES_AT_SETTLEMENT=' + protectionFailuresAtSettlement);
console.log('PROTECTION_ATTEMPTS=' + protectionAttempts);Then assert the settlement-time counters in expectSealedProtectionFailed.

Assert the boundary markers
Add non-negative assertions for each start and end index before calling slice. A missing end marker can leave the inner markers present, so the invariant test can pass silently.

CURRENT P1Exact affected parent HEAD:
5aa85827c41931f67053190c79bfa628a034f680The prior PR #33 repair relied on adding an own
constructorproperty to internally awaited Promise instances.A fresh independent review proved that Node
async_hookscan observe a newly allocated Promise during allocation and make it non-extensible before the following AgentBridge statement runs.Under the combined condition:
Promise.prototype.constructoris persistently replaced;Promise.prototype.thenis persistently replaced;the protection definition fails and the internal lifecycle can fall back into hostile Promise assimilation.
The defect was independently reproduced on exact PR #33 HEAD.
Observed consequences included:
thenbeing reached by AgentBridge's own internal lifecycle.This is not merely external caller consumption of an already-settled public Promise.
