🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial
Note the remaining synchronous darwin request path.
Line 810 routes every non-win32 platform to collectCodexAppServerCatalogState. On macOS that collector runs execFileSync("/bin/ps", ...) with a 3_000 ms timeout (lines 599-603) on the request thread. A cold v2 turn after the 5 s sync cache expires can therefore still block Bun's event loop for up to 3 seconds on macOS, which is the same failure class as issue #1852.
The Windows scope of this PR is correct and the darwin call is pre-existing. Consider a follow-up that reuses execFileTextAsync for the darwin ps batch so the request path is non-blocking on every platform.

Requesting changes on exact head d5acd74142f36c2337544c25beceb06f34e92507.
Two blockers remain:
-
Top-level CIM enumeration can fail open as
not_running.windowsSnapshotPowerShellCommand()sets$ErrorActionPreference='SilentlyContinue', whileGet-CimInstance Win32_Processis outside the per-processtry/catch. A non-terminating top-level CIM failure can therefore produce no output,parseWindowsSnapshots()returns[], and the request collector reportsnot_runninginstead ofunknown. That can incorrectly allow positive disk-derived v2 guidance when process state is actually unknown. Please make the top-level query fail closed, for example with-ErrorAction Stopplus an outer catch/sentinel or by allowing the async child-process call to reject, and add a regression specifically covering this top-level CIM failure. -
The full Windows test suite has not run on this exact head. Normal PR CI is green, but
platform-windowsisworkflow_dispatch-only and is accepted as skipped by the aggregate CI. Since this PR changes Windows PowerShell/CIM request-path behaviour, please run the full Windows suite on the resulting exact head after the fix.
The async request-path boundary, single-flight cache, generation invalidation, negative-cache contract, collaboration integration, and documentation otherwise look solid. The older CodeRabbit complaint about caching unknown is no longer a blocker because the latest head intentionally documents and tests that five-second negative cache.

Bun node:child_process execFile timeout maxBuffer windowsHide support
💡 Result:
Bun supports the timeout, maxBuffer, and windowsHide options within the node:child_process module's execFile function [1][2][3]. Bun provides a compatibility layer for the Node.js child_process module, which includes support for the standard options available in Node.js [4][5][6]. Specifically, the execFile function accepts an options object that supports the following properties: timeout: Specifies the maximum time (in milliseconds) the child process is allowed to run before being killed by the parent using the specified killSignal [1][4]. maxBuffer: Defines the maximum amount of data (in bytes) allowed on stdout or stderr. If this limit is exceeded, the child process is killed [1][4]. windowsHide: When set to true, it hides the subprocess console window that would otherwise be created on Windows systems [1][2]. The Bun implementation of child_process.execFile explicitly handles these options by passing them to the underlying spawn call [7][8]. The source code shows that Bun validates the timeout and maxBuffer values and passes windowsHide directly to the spawn process [7][8]. For developers who require more performance or advanced features, Bun also provides its own native API via Bun.spawn and Bun.spawnSync, which are separate from the node:child_process compatibility layer [9][10].

Node.js child_process.execFile default maxBuffer stdout stderr combined ENOBUFS timeout semantics
💡 Result:
In Node.js, the child_process.execFile function includes specific behaviors for managing output buffering and process execution duration [1][2]. MaxBuffer and Buffering The maxBuffer option defines the largest amount of data (in bytes) allowed on stdout or stderr [1][3]. - Combined Limit: The documentation states maxBuffer applies to stdout or stderr [1][2]. In practice, this is a shared limit for the combined output volume of these streams; if the total output across both streams exceeds this value, the child process is terminated [4]. - Default Value: The default is 1024 * 1024 bytes (1 MiB) [1][3]. - Behavior on Exceedance: When the limit is reached, the child process is terminated (by default using SIGTERM), and any remaining output is truncated [1][4]. The callback will be invoked with an error object, which typically has the code ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER and is an instance of RangeError [4]. ENOBUFS The ENOBUFS error in the context of child processes often arises when internal OS buffers or Node.js internal stream buffers are overwhelmed [5]. While maxBuffer is a Node.js-level safeguard to prevent memory exhaustion, ENOBUFS is a system-level error that can occur if the process attempts to write to a stream that cannot accept more data, often occurring during rapid, high-volume I/O operations where Node.js cannot drain the pipe fast enough [5]. Timeout Semantics The timeout option specifies a duration in milliseconds [6]. - Functionality: If the child process runs longer than the specified timeout value, the parent process sends the signal identified by the killSignal property (defaulting to SIGTERM) to the child process [7]. - Default: The default value is 0 (no timeout) [1][2]. - Termination: Once the timeout is reached and the kill signal is sent, the child process is expected to terminate [7]. It is important to note that the callback will still be invoked after the process exits [1][7]. If you require fine-grained control over long-running processes or need to avoid these buffer limitations, the child_process.spawn method is recommended, as it does not impose a maxBuffer limit and allows for stream-based handling of stdout and stderr [8][4].

Bun node:child_process execFile maxBuffer timeout windowsHide documentation current supported runtime
💡 Result:
Bun provides full support for the node:child_process.execFile function as part of its Node.js compatibility layer [1][2]. Regarding the specific options in execFile, Bun implements these by passing them to its internal spawn implementation [3][4]. The following options are supported: 1. maxBuffer: Supported [3]. This option defines the maximum number of bytes the process may output; if exceeded, the process is killed using the specified killSignal [5][6]. 2. timeout: Supported [3]. This specifies the maximum time in milliseconds the process is allowed to run before being killed [5][6]. 3. windowsHide: Supported [3]. When set to true, this option instructs the subprocess to have a hidden window on Windows systems [5][7]. The implementation of execFile in Bun generally follows Node.js behavior, spawning the specified executable directly as a new process without a shell by default [8][1]. Source code confirms that execFile explicitly accepts and applies these options during the spawning process [3][4].

Node.js execFile maxBuffer stdout stderr separate counters ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER official documentation
💡 Result:
In Node.js, the maxBuffer option in child_process.execFile (and exec) defines the maximum allowed size in bytes for the combined output of stdout and stderr [1][2][3]. The official documentation states that maxBuffer is the "largest amount of data in bytes allowed on stdout or stderr" [1][4]. Key technical points regarding maxBuffer and ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER: 1. Combined Limit: The maxBuffer setting applies to the sum of data received from both stdout and stderr [5][6]. Node.js does not maintain separate counters for these streams; if the total accumulated data across both pipes exceeds the maxBuffer limit, the child process is terminated, and the error ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER is thrown [5][7][8]. 2. Default Behavior: The default value for maxBuffer is 1024 * 1024 bytes (1 MB) [1][2][3]. 3. Error Mechanism: When the limit is reached, the child process is killed, and any further output is truncated [1][3][6]. The resulting error is a RangeError with the code ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER [7][6][8]. 4. Recommended Approach for Large Data: Because execFile and exec buffer the entire output in memory before calling the completion callback, they are unsuitable for processes that produce large amounts of data [5][6]. For such cases, the official Node.js documentation and standard practice recommend using child_process.spawn, which provides streaming access to stdout and stderr, allowing you to handle data in chunks without imposing an artificial memory-based buffer limit on the entire process output [5][6][8]. For applications where the total output volume is known and manageable, you can increase the maxBuffer limit in the options object provided to execFile: execFile(file, args, { maxBuffer: 1024 * 1024 * 10 }, (error, stdout, stderr) => { // handle result }); [7][6]

When execFile is called, the implementation normalizes the provided arguments and validates the maxBuffer value [1]. If the output from stdout or stderr exceeds the specified maxBuffer limit, the process is designed to handle this, typically by terminating the child process and returning an error, consistent with Node.js behavior [5][6]. Key details of the implementation include: 1. Validation: The internal implementation uses a validateMaxBuffer function to ensure the provided maxBuffer value is appropriate [1]. 2. Default Behavior: If not specified, it defaults to a pre-defined MAX_BUFFER value [1]. 3. Error Handling: When the buffer limit is reached, the implementation includes mechanisms to destroy the streams and report an error, often citing "maxBuffer length exceeded" [5][6]. 4. Evolution: Support for maxBuffer in Bun's node:child_process has been an area of active development, with recent improvements added to ensure that non-sync executions correctly handle buffer limits and memory usage [5]. For developers, maxBuffer is documented as an optional property in ExecFileOptions, allowing you to specify the maximum amount of data (in bytes) allowed on stdout or stderr before the process is killed [7][4].

Node.js official child_process.js execFile stdoutLen stderrLen maxBuffer source
💡 Result:
In Node.js, the maxBuffer option in child_process.execFile and child_process.exec specifies the maximum allowed size in bytes for the stdout and stderr buffers [1][2]. If the data received on either stream exceeds this threshold, the child process is terminated, and any output is truncated [1][3]. Regarding the implementation details mentioned: 1. maxBuffer Default: As of recent Node.js versions, the default value for maxBuffer is 1024 * 1024 bytes (1 MiB) [1][2][3]. 2. stdoutLen and stderrLen: These variables are used internally within the child_process.js source code to track the cumulative byte length of the data chunks received from stdout and stderr, respectively [4][5]. When data is received via the 'data' event on these streams, Node.js calculates the byte length of the incoming chunk [4][5]. If the encoding is set, it uses Buffer.byteLength(chunk, encoding); otherwise, it uses the chunk's length directly [4][5]. 3. Logic: This calculated length is added to stdoutLen (or stderrLen), and the result is compared against the maxBuffer limit [4][5]. If maxBuffer is set to Infinity, Node.js bypasses this length tracking logic to improve performance [5]. If the limit is exceeded, the process is killed, and a RangeError with the code ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER is typically emitted [4][5][6]. This mechanism ensures that Node.js does not consume excessive memory when executing commands that produce large amounts of output, by enforcing a hard limit on the total data buffered in memory before the callback is invoked [1][7].

oven-sh bun 1.3.14 child_process.ts execFile maxBuffer source tag
💡 Result:
In Bun's implementation of the Node.js child_process.execFile function (located in src/js/node/child_process.ts), the maxBuffer option is initialized to a default constant (MAX_BUFFER) and is explicitly validated using a validateMaxBuffer function [1][2]. This implementation mirrors Node.js behavior, where maxBuffer specifies the maximum amount of data (in bytes) allowed on stdout or stderr. If the child process exceeds this limit, the process is terminated. Bun's internal execFile function handles this by accepting maxBuffer as an optional parameter, which is then passed into the options object used to configure the process execution [1][3]. While the exact value of MAX_BUFFER is typically defined within the internal scope of the child_process module in Bun's codebase, the mechanism ensures consistency with standard Node.js expectations. For general Bun-native child process management, Bun also supports a maxBuffer option in Bun.spawn and Bun.spawnSync to similarly limit output and prevent memory exhaustion [4].

Make the asynchronous output limit explicit.
execFileTextAsync currently relies on Bun 1.3.14's default 1 MiB maxBuffer. Add maxBuffer: 1024 * 1024 to document the existing bound and match the synchronous paths. maxBuffer applies separately to stdout and stderr; overflow reports ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER, not ENOBUFS. Bun 1.3.14 supports and enforces timeout, windowsHide, and maxBuffer, so no compatibility change is required.

Document that identity matching uses reference equality, so per-request closures defeat the cache.
sameRequestCatalogStateIdentity at Line 745 compares the seam fields with ===. Any caller that constructs a new arrow function per request, for example now: () => Date.now(), produces a new identity on every call. That caller never hits requestCatalogStateCache and never joins requestCatalogStateFlight, so it spawns one PowerShell process per request. That is the exact failure mode issue #1852 fixes.
Production is safe today: defaultCollectCatalogState in src/server/responses/collaboration.ts Lines 204-213 calls collectCodexAppServerCatalogStateForRequest() with no argument, so every seam is undefined and the identity is stable across requests.
Add a short note on the identity interface so a future caller does not pass fresh closures.

Remove the deferred flight initialization; assign the flight record before you build the promise chain.
The flight binding at Line 901 stays in the temporal dead zone until Line 917, and the .then callback at Line 905 and the .finally callback at Line 915 both read it. The code is correct today: pending.then(...) only schedules its callback as a microtask, and the synchronous run reaches Line 917 before any microtask executes. So flight is always assigned before either callback dereferences it.
The correctness depends entirely on microtask ordering, which is fragile. If a future change makes the chain start from an already-settled value that is awaited earlier, or moves the assignment below an await, the callbacks throw ReferenceError: Cannot access 'flight' before initialization. A mutable token object removes the ordering dependency without changing behavior.
♻️ Proposed refactor
- let flight: RequestCatalogStateFlight;
- const promise = pending.then(status => {
+ const flight = { generation, identity } as RequestCatalogStateFlight;
+ flight.promise = pending.then(status => {
// A catalog write can invalidate while slow CIM is still running. Never
// let that pre-write result repopulate the post-write cache.
if (requestCatalogStateGeneration === generation && requestCatalogStateFlight === flight) {
requestCatalogStateCache = {

identity,
atMs: (io.now ?? Date.now)(),

};
}
return status;
}).finally(() => {
if (requestCatalogStateFlight === flight) requestCatalogStateFlight = null;
});
- flight = { generation, identity, promise };
requestCatalogStateFlight = flight;
return flight.promise;This requires promise on RequestCatalogStateFlight to be assignable, so drop readonly if you add it later. If you prefer to keep the field non-optional and strictly typed, hoist the identity object into a small factory instead of using an assertion.

Bracket this test with resetCodexAppServerCatalogStateCache() like the other three.
The tests at Lines 101, 135, and 165 each call resetCodexAppServerCatalogStateCache() at entry and exit. This test does not. It also omits now, so the successful result is stored in the module-level requestCatalogStateCache with a real Date.now() timestamp and a 5 s TTL, and that entry survives the test.
Cross-test contamination is unlikely, because sameRequestCatalogStateIdentity compares listSnapshotsAsync by reference and this test's seam is a local closure. So no current test can read the leaked entry. Add the reset anyway: it keeps the four collector tests uniform and it stops the leaked entry from mattering if a later test reuses a shared seam object.

Add coverage for a rejecting readStartMsBatchAsync.
This test exercises the inner catch in refresh at src/codex/app-server-processes.ts Lines 874-876, because listSnapshotsAsync throws before any start-time read. The TTL math is precise: atMs is 1_000, the second call at 1_010 is inside the 250 ms unknown window, and the third call at 1_251 is outside it. That correctly pins the upstream 250 ms policy.
One new failure path stays uncovered. The outer pending.catch at Lines 896-900 is the only handler for a rejection from io.readStartMsBatchAsync at Line 889. That branch produces { state: "unknown", processes: [], catalogMtimeMs: null }, which differs from the real readWindowsProcessStartMsBatchAsync failure shape, because the real helper catches internally and returns all-null starts so the process list survives. A focused test pins both the fail-closed state and the caching behavior of that branch.

In `@tests/codex-app-server-processes.test.ts` around lines 164 - 195, Add a
focused test alongside the existing Windows request-collection tests that makes
listSnapshotsAsync return one app-server snapshot while readStartMsBatchAsync
rejects, then verify collectCodexAppServerCatalogStateForRequest resolves with
state "unknown" and caches the failure within the 250 ms window so the reader is
called once. Reset the catalog cache before and after the test.

Campaign validation status (260818 bug-PR resolution): head 125156c is rebased onto current dev (all four fail-closed snapshot commits are ancestors), and the earlier CHANGES_REQUESTED blocker 1 (top-level CIM fail-open) is resolved by dev itself — the async collector maps a rejected enumeration to unknown, never not_running. Per the review's exact-head Windows-suite condition, the platform-windows leg has been dispatched on the landed candidate (codex/land-1876, merge of this head onto dev): https://github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/actions/runs/32145700019. TTL note for the record: both numbers coexist by design — 250ms is the unknown-state negative cache (CATALOG_STATE_UNKNOWN_TTL_MS, #1947 policy), 5s the positive advisory cache. @Wibias when the Windows leg is green, could you re-review or dismiss the stale review so this can land? |

Windows-leg result on the landed candidate (codex/land-1876, run 32145700019): FAILURE — but a control dispatch on dev itself (e446607, run 32147924436) fails the same way: the failing suites are the Codex Log Guard / CodeRabbit-protection / WS-relay families on windows-latest, unrelated to this PR's files (zero failures in app-server-processes / catalog-discovery suites on either run; each run also had one cancelled shard, so per-suite diffs across runs are shard-assignment artifacts). The push-event Cross-platform CI on the current dev head is green (run 32147799485, success). Conclusion: the exact-head Windows-suite condition cannot currently be greener than dev's own baseline — the Windows dispatch leg is red on dev independently of this PR. Holding the merge for your re-review/dismissal per the standing CHANGES_REQUESTED; from the campaign's side this candidate is validated (rebased on dev, fail-closed API ancestors verified, both TTL constants honored). |

Summary
Closes #1852
Why this boundary
The stale-catalog observation is advisory on the v2 request path, but the same process evidence is also used by explicit lifecycle operations. Replacing the synchronous API globally would widen a process-control boundary. This PR therefore adds a Windows-only asynchronous request collector while preserving the existing matching, owner verification, trusted System32 PowerShell resolution, and synchronous lifecycle behavior.

No Go counterpart exists for this change: Codex app-server process discovery and v2 guidance assembly remain in the TypeScript control plane on the Go transition line. This PR does not change the Go native data path.
Review notes
This is self-authored maintainer work, so I will not approve or merge it myself. Exact-head cross-platform CI and another maintainer review are required.
