Summary

给项目负责人的白话摘要

  • 原来的问题:服务绑在 Tailscale 地址上时,ocx update 停掉代理后,会拨一下代理地址确认它真的停了。Tailscale 地址上没人监听时,系统是把包直接丢掉而不是回"连接被拒",更新器拿不到明确答案,就按"说不准"中止更新,提示 could not confirm the proxy ... is stopped,用户只能手动 npm i -g 绕过。
  • 合并后:拨不通时多做一步检查——试着占用这个端口。能占上说明没有任何进程在监听,判为已停,更新继续;占不上(有服务在监听、或地址不属于本机)仍然是"说不准",照旧中止。
  • 对使用者的影响:把服务绑在 Tailscale 地址(Remote Hub 推荐做法)的用户,ocx update 不再误中止。有服务在跑时的保护不变。

Technical details

probeProxyLiveness only treated ECONNREFUSED as proof that nothing listens. A listener bound to a tailnet address that has gone away gives a dropped SYN instead, so the dial times out and the result was unknown, which aborts the update (#3008 made unknown abort on purpose). The child probe now falls back to a single net.createServer().listen({ host, port, exclusive: true }): success means the port is free (dead); EADDRINUSE or EADDRNOTAVAIL stays unknown. A listener that accepts and withholds /healthz still holds the port, so that case is unchanged. All result writes go through one settle() so the timeout/error double-fire cannot print two answers.

Verification

At head 8a9d95a76 (based on dev 4b7466833). All runs on Windows 11; no Linux or macOS run.

  • Bun 1.4.0 (as the test runner and as the child runtime when launched from Bun): bun test tests/update/update-stop-classification.test.ts — 15 pass, 0 fail. New fixture test a silent dial to a port nobody holds any more is dead, not unknown: a child accepts the probe's connection, closes its listener and stays silent, so the dial times out and the port is bindable; it fails against the previous probe (unknown) and passes now. A second test keeps a non-local address (TEST-NET-1) at unknown. A third test addresses the same silent fixture by hostname (localhost, with a dual-stack listener so the result does not depend on address order) and expects unknown: it fails without the literal-IP guard and passes with it.
  • Node v24.16.0 (the plain-Node launcher lane, process.execPath child): imported the probe directly and probed the real Tailscale address of the hub. An unused port returned dead (previously unknown); the running proxy's port returned live.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check — pass.
  • CodeRabbit finding on hostnames addressed: the bind fallback now runs only when the host is a literal IP address (net.isIP), because a name can resolve to different addresses for the dial and the bind and a free bind on another address would wrongly read as a stopped proxy. Docs updated accordingly.
  • CodeRabbit findings addressed (socket destruction in the bind window; local fixture instead of a routing-dependent assertion). Reviewer feedback addressed: the probe JSDoc, structure/runtime.md (the ocx resolve tri-state probe) and structure/ops/service-and-sidecars.md (post-stop update liveness) now describe the bind fallback, its ceiling and the failed-bind unknown result. The earlier statement that no docs describe these internals was wrong.
  • A successful bind is an observation at that instant: it briefly occupies the port, so a proxy starting in the same moment can lose that bind, and it does not claim the endpoint can never restart.
  • Not run: the full bun run test suite, and any real ocx update through the fixed probe (the installed 2.76.0 predates the change).

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (structure/runtime.md and structure/ops/service-and-sidecars.md updated; no user-facing docs describe the probe internals.)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (No credentials involved; the probe binds and immediately closes a socket and never serves traffic.)

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

  • I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Proxy liveness checks report a proxy as dead when a connection is refused or a timed-out check confirms that a literal IP address and port can be bound.
    • Checks report an unknown status when health responses are unsuccessful or invalid, a bind check fails, the host is a hostname, or the check exceeds its time limit.
    • Each check reports at most one result.
  • Documentation

    • Updated guidance on proxy status checks during updates and endpoint resolution, including the limits and potential race conditions of bind checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The probe emits at most one result. After a timeout or request error other than ECONNREFUSED, it attempts an exclusive bind only for literal IP addresses. The tests and documentation cover the resulting classifications and limits.

Changes

Proxy liveness probe

Layer / File(s) Summary
Probe result classification
src/update/proxy-liveness-probe.mjs, tests/update/update-stop-classification.test.ts, structure/ops/service-and-sidecars.md, structure/runtime.md
The probe uses a settlement guard and an exclusive bind after timeouts and request errors other than ECONNREFUSED. A successful bind yields "dead"; a bind error or hostname yields "unknown". Tests cover bind success and failure. The documentation describes the timeout ceiling and the bind check’s limits.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8a9d9

The probe behavior and its documented limits are covered, but the remote-address test may fail in environments that refuse the connection. This is a bounded test-suite risk rather than an established production failure.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — structure (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — src (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — tests (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in src/update/proxy-liveness-probe.mjs: The documentation now includes the exclusive-bind fallback for unanswered or unrefused dials, restricts that fallback to literal IP addresses, and states that bind failures remain "unknown". It retains the child timeout plus 1500 ms spawn ceiling and notes that a successful bind only describes that moment.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/update/proxy-liveness-probe.mjs: The child adds a settlement guard so only the first outcome is written to stdout.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/update/proxy-liveness-probe.mjs: Health responses now use the settlement guard: non-200 status and JSON parse failure yield "UNKNOWN"; a 200 response yields "LIVE" for an OpenCodex response and "DEAD" otherwise.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/update/proxy-liveness-probe.mjs: Timeouts previously yielded "UNKNOWN" directly, and request errors other than ECONNREFUSED did likewise. They now attempt an exclusive bind for literal IP hosts: successful binding yields "DEAD" and a bind error yields "UNKNOWN". Non-IP hosts yield "UNKNOWN" without binding; ECONNREFUSED still yields "DEAD". The guard prevents later events from emitting another result.

Scoped intake at b823eaf: the patch includes the single-settlement guard, accepted-socket destruction and a controlled timeout-then-bind fixture. Please update the owning liveness contract before review completion. The JSDoc in src/update/proxy-liveness-probe.mjs still says only a refused connection or definitive non-OpenCodex response earns dead; that is no longer true after this patch. structure/runtime.md describes the tri-state probe as part of read-only ocx resolve, and structure/ops/service-and-sidecars.md owns post-stop update/recovery liveness: both need to explain the temporary bind fallback, finite ceiling, and failed-bind unknown result where applicable. The Verification statement that no docs describe these internals misses those owning contracts. Please also retain distinct Bun/Node and actual Windows evidence; successful binding is an observation at that instant, not a claim that the endpoint can never restart. I have not run an updater, changed a service, or approved the whole update boundary.

Follow-up: I checked the documentation/JSDoc delta at ed45962. The two owning structure contracts now describe the temporary bind and failed-bind unknown result, and the JSDoc no longer says the only dead proofs are refusal/non-OpenCodex health. The runtime doc explicitly records the concurrent-start bind window. This addresses my documentation request; it is not execution evidence or final approval of the liveness change. Please re-attest and validate the new head as required.

🟠 Major · Restrict the bind fallback to literal IP addresses. · proxy-liveness-probe.mjs:82-90

src/update/proxy-liveness-probe.mjs:82-90
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict the bind fallback to literal IP addresses.

capturedListen.hostname may contain any configured hostname, including a multi-address name. The child resolves that hostname independently for http.get(...) and server.listen(...). If the dial reaches a live but silent proxy on one address and the bind resolves to another unused address, the bind succeeds and returns "DEAD". decidePostStopUpdate then permits package replacement while the proxy is still running.

Suggested fix
-    "  const server = require('node:net').createServer();",
+    "  if (require('node:net').isIP(host) === 0) { settle('UNKNOWN'); return; }",
+    "  const server = require('node:net').createServer();",

Superseded by the integration in #6487, with reviewed follow-up fixes in #6490 and Windows validation repairs in #6494/#6495, all merged into dev.

The updater-only bind fallback for inconclusive liveness dials was carried. #6490 adds portable real-bind regression controls; this does not broaden the general resolve probe contract.

Original carry commit: 00c69c38fc43636a6cb7bcd159ccff13886afed4. Attribution to @andrew05060414 is preserved in the integration history and merge trailers. The final integrated candidate passed the complete cross-platform CI run.

Closing this PR as superseded, not claiming that its original head was merged. Thank you for the contribution.
