Part of #1483 — AI-3775

What & why

Testing #1483 on Windows found two gaps after kcap update on a script install. Every superseded versions/<v> and .replaced-* directory stays forever (72 MB each on win-x64). And a Windows daemon never notices an update, because self-detection was off there. An update now deletes versions older than the one it replaced, skipping any directory with a file that cannot be opened for exclusive write; a running binary fails that open on Windows and Linux. On Windows a script-install daemon now watches its binary through current, as macOS and Linux already did.

Where to look

  • A daemon started on an earlier release still needs kcap daemon restart, so the Windows hint kcap update prints is unchanged.
  • macOS allows writing to a running binary, so pruning there can delete a directory a process still runs from; the process keeps its open file.

Verification

  • Linux (WSL) full unit suites, 0 failed: Core 4586 passed, CLI 6600, Daemon 4116. ScriptUpdaterTests 16/16, including the symlink-only tests.
  • Windows: this branch's AOT build in a real script install, updated from a local feed. Output: Removed 2 unused kcap versions. The held-open and replaced versions were kept. The daemon logged Restart-after-update queued (self-detected) and respawned on the new version.
  • dotnet publish -c Release of kcap and kcap-daemon: no IL warnings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Script-installed daemons on Windows now detect when their installed version changes and restart on the new version once idle.
    • After an update, unused older versions are pruned. The newly installed and previously active versions, along with any versions still in use, are retained.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the update guidance to explain daemon restarts and version retention across platforms.

Lougarou and others added 2 commits October 15, 2026 18:50
The version just replaced is kept: a daemon started before the switch
still runs it. A directory holding a file that cannot be opened for
exclusive write is in use, as a running binary is on Windows and Linux.

An update switches the `current` junction instead of replacing the running
file, so the binary reached through it changes on Windows too.

📝 Walkthrough

Script-installed daemons are monitored for binary changes on Windows. After an update, the updater removes eligible unused version directories while retaining the new version, the previous version, and directories in use. The README and update help describe the updated behavior.

Changes: Script-installed update lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows binary monitoring
src/Capacitor.Cli.Daemon/Services/RestartCoordinator.cs, test/Capacitor.Cli.Daemon.Tests.Unit/Services/RestartCoordinatorTests.cs, README.md
Windows script installs are monitored through the process path, so changes reached through current are detected. Windows binaries outside script installs are not statted. Tests cover these cases. The README states that script-installed daemons restart on the new version once idle on Windows.
Version-directory pruning
src/Capacitor.Cli/Commands/ScriptUpdater.cs, test/Capacitor.Cli.Tests.Unit/Commands/ScriptUpdaterTests.cs, src/Capacitor.Cli.Core/Resources/help-update.txt
After activation, the updater keeps the new and previous versions and prunes eligible unused version directories. It preserves directories reported in use and leaves directories in place when probing or deletion fails. Tests cover pruning and file-use detection. The update help describes version cleanup and restart behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: alexeyzimarev, inok

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to afc9f

Older Windows daemons still need a manual restart, despite what the updated guidance says. Clarify both help surfaces; the macOS pruning limitation also remains open.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to afc9f

Concurrent updates can cause the new cleanup step to delete the version another update has just activated, breaking subsequent launches and recovery. Windows monitoring otherwise retains the existing restart controls. The identified exposure is limited to the affected script installation; no remote attack path or privilege gain was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Pruning can delete another concurrent update's active version. Two invocations can snapshot the same previous version, then activate different destinations. Cleanup from the first invocation protects only its own destination and snapshot, so it can delete the second invocation's destination before any process opens it. This leaves current pointing at a missing directory and compromises launch, update adoption, and recovery. Unlike the base behavior, the PR introduces recursive deletion into this unsynchronized transition.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified concurrency failure affects versions sharing one script-install root and consumers launching through its current path. It requires overlapping authorized update activity; the inspected path does not establish unauthenticated remote reachability, cross-tenant exposure, or privilege gain.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Windows self-detection feeds the existing restart coordinator rather than directly launching a process. The coordinator preserves its busy gate, explicit force handling, single-fire lock, and retry behavior. Detached restart uses the stabilized existing executable path and preserves the configured server expectation and consent directive.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — A detached spawn failure leaves the old daemon running and requests retry. Supervised restart delegates relaunch to the supervisor, while foreground mode requires manual restart. These existing terminal behaviors remain in use after Windows monitoring is enabled.

5. New tests manually create temp state 📘 Rule violation ▣ Testability
Description
On_Windows_a_script_install_is_watched_through_current and the new pruning tests allocate
temporary directories with using var tmp = new TempDir() inside TUnit test methods instead of
declaring an injected [TempDir] property. Each test therefore manages its own temporary-directory
instance rather than using the framework-injected lifecycle, so later setup or parallelization
changes can bypass the intended ownership model.
Code

test/Capacitor.Cli.Daemon.Tests.Unit/Services/RestartCoordinatorTests.cs[R127-129]

+    public async Task On_Windows_a_script_install_is_watched_through_current() {

official .NET documentation DirectoryInfo.Delete recursive symbolic links junctions EnumerateFiles SearchOption.AllDirectories symbolic links .NET 8

💡 Result:

- **`DirectoryInfo.Delete(true)`**: The docs say `true` deletes the directory, its subdirectories, and files, but don’t specify symbolic-link or junction behavior. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.directoryinfo.delete?view=netframework-4.8))
- **`EnumerateFiles(..., SearchOption.AllDirectories)`**: The docs explicitly say this includes reparse points such as symbolic links and mounted drives; a link that creates a loop can cause an infinite search. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/api/System.IO.SearchOption))
- **Junction caveat in .NET 8**: The runtime issue reports recursive deletion failing on Windows when a directory contains a junction, while symbolic links worked in the reported case. It was filed against .NET 8-era behavior, but does not establish behavior on every OS or later runtime. (GitHub issue 86249 in dotnet/runtime (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

**Bottom line:** Don’t treat `SearchOption.AllDirectories` as a safe way to enumerate without traversing links. The official API docs don’t settle `Delete(true)`’s link behavior; the junction failure report is a specific Windows case, not a universal guarantee.

Skip reparse points in AnyFileInUse.

PruneVersions excludes only a reparse point at the candidate root. AnyFileInUse uses SearchOption.AllDirectories, which can enumerate nested symlinks, junctions, and mounted drives. A nested link can make an unrelated open file cause the candidate to remain in use.

.NET FileStream FileAccess.ReadWrite FileShare.None Unix macOS file open mtime running executable official documentation

💡 Result:

If you’re asking whether opening a running executable this way can update its modification time: **opening it alone does not establish that its mtime changes.** Mtime tracks file-content modification; merely opening a file is not a content write.

`FileAccess.ReadWrite` requests permission to read and write. `FileShare.None` asks .NET to deny sharing while the stream is open; Microsoft documents that meaning, but the documentation does not promise that it prevents every kind of filesystem operation on Unix/macOS. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.fileshare?view=net-7.0&utm_source=openai))

So, on macOS, if you actually write to the executable through the stream, its mtime may change. If you only open and close it without writing, this API combination alone is not a reason to expect an mtime change. **Whether writes to that particular running executable succeed, and the exact timestamp behavior, depends on the filesystem/runtime circumstances; the sources here don’t establish that specific case.** The .NET runtime source also notes a macOS-specific need to create a new inode when updating a signed file, but that is a code-signing update scenario—not proof of general behavior for a running executable.

Disable pruning on macOS when using the default probe.

On macOS, a running executable can pass AnyFileInUse. PruneVersions can then delete its version directory while the process still has the binary open. Keep all candidates on macOS because this probe cannot detect that state.

Permission failures should remain conservative and retain the directory. Opening and closing the file does not establish an mtime change, and the inspected source does not establish a lazy-load failure.
