From eefe4f05777e53860e3109caf4c83cd4da981a44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dimitris Marlagkoutsos Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:38:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] test(ocap-kernel): reproduce issue #944 peer-incarnation restart bug MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds an e2e regression test under Incarnation Detection that exercises the case where a receiver's in-memory PeerStateManager has lost the peer's last-seen incarnationId (here via receiver restart) while the RemoteHandle's persisted #highestReceivedSeq survives. With the same peerId but a fresh incarnationId on the sender, the handshake mis-classifies the reconnect as a first connection, no handlePeerRestart fires, and the sender's seq=1 messages are silently dropped — matching the symptom in issue #944. The test currently fails with a URL redemption timeout and will pass once the dedup-vs-incarnation state lifetimes are aligned.

When a remote peer restarted with the same peerId but a fresh incarnation (e.g. plugin kernel reload), the receiving kernel could silently drop the peer's seq=1 messages because its in-memory PeerStateManager had no record of the prior incarnation to compare against — but its persisted RemoteHandle still held a non-zero #highestReceivedSeq from before. The dedup state outlived the restart-detection state, so the handshake mis-classified a real restart as a first connection. Changes: - Persist the peer's last-observed incarnationId in a new `peerIncarnation.{peerId}` KV namespace. Aligns its lifetime with the seq dedup state it gates. - OnIncarnationChange now fires on every successful handshake, carrying the observed incarnation, and returns a boolean telling the transport whether the kernel detected a real restart. The receiver's PSM check is no longer the authority — the persisted comparison is. - RemoteManager#handleIncarnationChange compares observed against the persisted value inside a savepoint: on mismatch with a defined prior value it calls handlePeerRestart, rejects promises the peer was deciding, and persists the new incarnation atomically. - handlePeerRestart additionally clears the peer's "+"-direction c-list entries (the peer's exports — dead after restart) via the new `forgetEndpointImports` helper. Without this, fresh incarnations' reused eref labels would resolve to already-resolved kernel promises from the prior incarnation. - Transport closes (rather than registers) the freshly-dialed channel on outbound restart detection, so concurrent in-flight retransmits can't reuse it to write pre-restart payloads. - RemoteHandle#retransmitPending is sequential so a peer-restart detection during the first send short-circuits the rest before any stale message hits the wire. - Browser RPC plumbing forwards the observed incarnation across the platform-services boundary and surfaces the kernel's restart verdict back to the transport. The regression test added in the prior commit now passes end-to-end.

The first cut of forgetEndpointImports lived in clist.ts and only invalidated c-list lookups: deleteCListEntry's recognizable-only decrement leaves object-export refcounts and owner entries intact, so kernel objects exported by the peer could never be GC'd, and promise deciders weren't released. Move the helper to vat.ts (next to cleanupTerminatedVat, where the analogous bookkeeping for terminated vats lives) and mirror its export/promise legs: - Object exports: clear the owner key (peer was owning the object), decrement the baseline refcount, queue for GC, then tear down the c-list pair. - Promise exports: tear down the c-list pair, then drop the decider refcount if the peer was still recorded as decider. Imports stay scoped to the peer's "+"-direction entries so our exports to the peer (alice's root, etc.) keep working when a fresh incarnation reconnects with the same peer ID. Caller contract is unchanged: handlePeerRestart already rejects promises the peer was deciding before invoking this; this function takes care of the bookkeeping that termination would otherwise leak.

Make RemoteManager.#handleIncarnationChange async to match. - transport.ts: introduce PeerRestartedError sentinel and skip handleConnectionLoss for it on the outbound throw path. The peer is reachable (handshake just succeeded) and handleConnectionLoss would clobber an inbound channel a concurrent handshake just registered. - RemoteManager.ts: drop the production-source "See issue #944." reference; the issue link belongs in commit history, not the source. Tests: - transport.test.ts: cover the close-then-throw-without-register path on outbound restart-detected, plus the OR-with-PSM case. - RemoteHandle.test.ts: spy-based fake-timer harness (vi.useFakeTimers is incompatible with SES) for #retransmitPending — sequential await, terminal-error abort + giveUp, transient continue. - RemoteManager.test.ts: savepoint rollback when handlePeerRestart throws, plus updated verdict semantics (true even when no remote handle exists — it's the persisted-state comparison, not the reset outcome, that the transport cares about). - PlatformServicesServer.test.ts and PlatformServicesClient.test.ts: cover the new remoteIncarnationChange RPC plumbing — forwards args, returns kernel verdict, fails closed on RPC error, coerces non-boolean / throwing handlers to true.

These were previously ad-hoc plain Error throws scattered across the transport, with the predicate bound to brittle string matching on the error message. Centralizing them removes a class of drift hazards: the TERMINAL_NAMES set is derived from the class statics, so adding a new terminal class without registering it is a one-line obvious omission rather than a needle-in-a-haystack drift. Detection still uses the `name` field rather than `instanceof` because errors lose class identity when serialized via the platform-services JSON-RPC boundary; the `name` is preserved. Tests: 38 new tests across the three error classes (8 each) and the predicate (14) — covering canonical message/code, name preservation, cause/stack options, valid unmarshal, and three failure cases per class plus full coverage of the predicate's positive and negative matches including non-Error values.

RemoteHandle.#sendRemoteCommand swallowed PeerRestartedError and NetworkStoppedError. Only `intentional close` triggered the cleanup path; the other two terminal verdicts fell through to logger.error with the message persisted to remotePending and #nextSendSeq advanced, leaving it pending until ACK timeout × MAX_RETRIES. The catch now routes all terminal errors through the shared isTerminalSendError predicate. 2. RemoteManager.#handleIncarnationChange enqueued kernelQueue notifications and ran in-memory mutations inside the savepoint window. A kv rollback would not undo either, leaving the kernel with run-queue entries against promises the persisted store still considers unresolved. Split RemoteHandle.handlePeerRestart into `persistPeerRestart` (kv-only, savepoint-safe) and `finalizePeerRestart` (in-memory + redemption rejections); the manager now snapshots `getPromisesByDecider` before any kv mutation, runs `persistPeerRestart` inside the savepoint, and defers `finalizePeerRestart` and `resolvePromises` to after release. 3. doInboundHandshake silently ignored kernelDetectedRestart. The outbound path closes the freshly-dialed channel and throws PeerRestartedError on detected restart; the inbound path only logged. A concurrent in-flight outbound send could then write a pre-restart payload over a fresh-incarnation channel. Inbound now returns false when the kernel detects a restart, and the caller closes the channel without registering it — symmetric with the outbound guard. 4. deleteRemoteInfo left peerIncarnation.{peerId} stranded. A re-established remote with the same peerId would mis-classify its first handshake as a restart against the leftover incarnation. Now reads the info before deletion and clears the peerIncarnation row; corrupt JSON is logged and swallowed so the rest of the cleanup still runs. Other tightening: - #rejectAllPending is a no-op when nothing is pending, so the catch path is safe even when the kernel-side restart cleanup ran upstream. - #handleIncarnationChange logs a warning when the restart verdict fires but no live RemoteHandle exists (boot race / peer teardown scoping issue), instead of silently advancing the persisted incarnation. - Sentinel error matching uses the centralized `isTerminalSendError` imported from @metamask/kernel-errors (this commit's prerequisite), removing the brittle string-match in the predicate. - Outbound PeerRestartedError now logs at info severity, not error — it is an expected, recoverable event. Tests: - New: PeerRestartedError/IntentionalCloseError/NetworkStoppedError from initial #sendRemoteCommand reject pending and fire onGiveUp. - New: handlePeerRestart actually clears c-list state (seeds an exportFromEndpoint pair, asserts both halves gone after restart). - New: PeerRestartedError does not trigger reconnection from the outbound catch path. - New: inbound handshake closes the channel without registration when the kernel detects a restart. - New: deleteRemoteInfo clears the peer-incarnation row. - Updated: RemoteManager savepoint-rollback test now spies on persistPeerRestart and asserts finalizePeerRestart is NOT called when the persisted phase throws. - Updated: #handleIncarnationChange verdict tests assert false on first observation and stable incarnation (not just true on restart).

That serialization deadlocked any request handler that fired an outbound RPC back to the other side and awaited its response — the response could not be processed by the drain until the request handler returned, but the request handler was waiting for the response. This bit the new `onIncarnationChange` callback the transport invokes during the handshake: kernel-worker sends `sendRemoteMessage` → offscreen runs the handler → handshake calls `onIncarnationChange` RPC back to kernel-worker → kernel-worker returns a verdict → response arrives at offscreen but its drain is still awaiting the original request handler. Hung until the 40s URL redemption timeout. Fix: dispatch request handlers in the background (no await inside the drain). Responses still process synchronously. Apply on both sides since either drain can hit the same shape. The new `onIncarnationChange` round-trip during every handshake makes this latent issue actually surface in the e2e — the original asymmetry (kernel-worker drain rarely blocked, offscreen drain frequently blocked while sendRemoteMessage was in flight) is what made it hide for so long.

A throw from the callback (e.g. `persistPeerRestart` hits corrupt c-list data) would propagate past `do*Handshake`'s contract: the inbound caller relies on a `false` return to close the channel before registering it, so an unhandled throw would escape to the outer `onInboundConnection` catch and only close the channel incidentally. Treat callback throws as handshake failures instead — return false / `success: false` and log via `outputError`. In production the platform-services layer already coerces callback errors to a `true` verdict, so this is defense in depth for unit tests, startup races, and any future callback wiring that doesn't catch internally.
