fix(desktop): retry the staging rename while Windows holds the folder - #2161
Merged

Conversation
Each stage script runs its new binary from the stage folder, then renames the folder into place. On Windows another process can still have a file in it open for a moment (on my machine, the DiagTrack service reading opencode.exe), so the rename failed with EPERM every time. The swap now retries that rename on EPERM, EACCES or EBUSY for up to 60 s, the same window graceful-fs uses.

Retry the backup rename too.
During a restage, a Windows lock can make the direct renameSync(OUT, backup) fail before renameWhenUnlocked runs. Use the retry helper for the backup move as well.

Brings in #2137, #2146, #2154, #2156, #2157, #2158, #2161, #2168 and the rest of dev since 0847e12. No Alembic revisions or dependency changes. Conflicts and how each was resolved: - docs/architecture/chat.md, the stream's steps 1-2: kept dev_mod's server-side source scope in step 1 and dev's images-overflow 409 in step 2. Known gaps: kept dev_mod's three source-scope bullets and added dev's gap for projectors dearer than 256. - docs/architecture/studio.md, the routes table: dev's formats row with unavailable_code, dev_mod's jobs row with source_scope. - modules/artifacts/service.py, regenerate_artifact: dev_mod's flow (a document script runs as stored, a refine needs none of its sources back, a draft replays its scope) with dev's _require_available in place of _availability, so a refused regenerate carries {message, code}. - modules/chat/router.py, imports: dev_mod's remove_thread_folder beside dev's image_room. The images-past-window refusal sits after the agent hand-off and the scope grounding, so agent threads are unaffected. - modules/llm/router.py, imports: dev's ModelFileHeldError beside dev_mod's capability imports and router. - frontend chat/message.tsx: dev's ReplyAnnouncer keyed by message beside ReplyThinking, which keeps dev_mod's preparing prop. - frontend chat/use-chat-runtime.ts: dev_mod's agent `preparing` flag and dev's inFlightReply, both set before the try. - frontend studio/use-studio.ts, imports: dev_mod's canRetry and dev's translatedStudioError. The Refine box reads refusals through messageFrom, so it gets the translated Studio codes too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Each stage script runs its new binary from the stage folder, then renames the folder into place. On Windows another process can still have a file in it open for a moment (on my machine, the DiagTrack service reading opencode.exe), so the rename failed with EPERM every time. The swap now retries that rename on EPERM, EACCES or EBUSY for up to 60 s, the same window graceful-fs uses.
What
The four stage scripts now swap their stage folder into place with
renameWhenUnlocked, a new module insurfsense_local/electron/scripts/windows-locks/. On EPERM, EACCES or EBUSY it retries the rename with a short delay that grows to 100 ms, for up to 60 s, then rethrows. Any other error is rethrown at once. The other two renames in the swap (output to backup, and the rollback) are unchanged, so a running app still fails fast.Why
On Windows,
pnpm build:opencodefailed every time for me at the swap:Each script runs its new binary from the stage folder and renames the folder milliseconds later. Process Monitor showed the Connected User Experiences and Telemetry service (DiagTrack, in svchost) had
opencode.exeopen from 16.166 to 17.183 s; the rename was refused at 16.810 and the retry succeeded about 500 ms later. With DiagTrack stopped, the original script staged fine.pnpm build:opencode, originalbuild:opencode/build:llamacppgraceful-fs, which npm uses, retries
renameon Windows for up to 60 s for the same kind of lock: https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs/blob/v4.2.11/polyfills.js#L87-L117. Node'sfs.rmhasmaxRetriesfor EBUSY and EPERM too: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v24.x/api/fs.html#fsrmsyncpath-optionsFixes #: none, I found this while running
pnpm devon Windows.How to test
cd surfsense_local/electron && pnpm testruns the three new tests inscripts/windows-locks/rename-when-unlocked.test.mjs.surfsense_local/electron/opencodeand runpnpm build:opencode. If the lock happens, it prints one "retrying" line and then stages.Two side notes, not changed here: the module sits one folder down because under the Linux runner's shell the unquoted
scripts/**/*.test.mjsonly reaches one level, soscripts/deb-control.test.mjsdoesn't run in CI (its tests are missing from the Electron job log). And on Windows,pnpm testhas two unrelated failures, insecret.test.tsandopencode-leftovers.test.ts. Happy to look at either separately.I'm happy to take a different approach if you'd prefer, for example verifying the binaries somewhere other than the folder being renamed.
High-level PR Summary
This PR fixes a Windows-specific issue where staging scripts fail to rename folders because Windows services (like DiagTrack) briefly hold executables open after the script runs them. The solution introduces a retry mechanism that waits up to 60 seconds for the file lock to release, mirroring the approach used by graceful-fs. The change affects four staging scripts (
opencode,llamacpp,sdcpp, andaudiocpp) and adds a newrenameWhenUnlockedutility module with comprehensive tests.⏱️ Estimated Review Time: 5-15 minutes
