Problem

Four tests passed in today's serial order but failed as soon as the file grouping changed (--shard, --parallel), because they read state an earlier file left behind:

  • removeRuntimeFiles (both cases, shutdown.test.ts): wrote rt.pid into $HOME/.mattstack/rt/, a directory only an earlier file happened to create. Alone or in an isolated worker it threw ENOENT. The not-ours case also left rt.pid/rt.sock behind.
  • lazyChildLogger queue test (daemon-logger.test.ts): waited a fixed 20 event-loop turns for the getDaemonLogger() singleton to init. With a cold singleton, pino-roll's async stat/readdir can take longer, and a singleton warmed by an earlier file under another HOME writes to a log dir the test never reads. The warm-path test relied on the previous test having warmed it.
  • installCrashHandlers boot-gating test (daemon-logger.test.ts): process.emit("unhandledRejection") reaches every listener, and cli-logger.test.ts leaves installCliLogging's crash handler installed, which calls process.exit(1). Exits came out [1, 1] whenever cli-logger ran first in the same process (shard 1/6).

Fix

  • shutdown.test.ts: the removeRuntimeFiles cases create the rt dir and clear rt.pid/rt.sock before and after each case.
  • daemon-logger.test.ts: the lazyChildLogger block resets the singleton before and after each case and awaits its init instead of counting turns; the queue test also asserts both calls really queued. The crash-handler block detaches existing crash listeners before each case and restores them, plus process.exit and process.stderr.write, after.
  • cli-logger.test.ts: removes the exit/crash listeners installCliLogging adds, so a later file's stray rejection can't process.exit(1) the run.

Test-only; no production code changed.

Verification

Each failure was reproduced deterministically before the fix: shutdown alone (ENOENT), daemon-logger under a preload that warms the singleton under another HOME or slows its init, and daemon-logger after installCliLogging (exits [1, 1]). All of those pass now.

  • Each touched file alone: daemon-logger 15/15, shutdown 7/7, cli-logger 5/5
  • --parallel=8 over the three files plus the other cli-logger and daemon-logger files: 57/57
  • --randomize --seed=1..8 over the three files: 8/8 green (5 seeds failed before)
  • --shard=i/4 and --shard=i/6 with timings: no failures in these files in any shard
  • Full serial bun test lib commands packages scripts rt-tray/vm/run/helpers: 9865 pass, 0 fail
  • bunx tsc --noEmit: clean

Not fixed here: shards 1/4 and 1/6 still exit 1 with 0 failures. commands/__tests__/worktree.test.ts leaves process.exitCode = 1 behind ("a running-run dispose refusal prints the run id and abandon pointer"). It exits 1 even when run alone, and the serial run only passes because a later file resets it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Improved reliability of CLI and daemon logging tests by isolating process state between test runs.
    • Strengthened shutdown test cleanup and coverage for preserving or removing runtime files based on process ownership. These updates help ensure automated checks produce consistent results without changing end-user behavior.

…h case

The removeRuntimeFiles tests wrote rt.pid into a directory only an earlier
file happened to create, so they failed with ENOENT when run alone or in an
isolated worker, and the not-ours case left rt.pid/rt.sock behind.

…t on

lazyChildLogger's tests now reset the getDaemonLogger singleton around each
case and await its init instead of counting event-loop turns, so a slow cold
init or a singleton warmed under another HOME no longer empties the log they
read. The warm-path test warms the singleton itself.

The installCrashHandlers test detaches any crash listeners already on the
process before it emits, and restores them after, so a leftover handler that
calls process.exit no longer doubles the recorded exits.

The R052 test left installCliLogging's exit and crash listeners on the
process, so any later file in the same process that emitted an unhandled
rejection hit a handler that calls process.exit(1). That is the listener the
daemon-logger boot-gating test was tripping over in a sharded run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The test suites now isolate process listeners, logger singleton state, and daemon runtime files. Logger queue tests await initialization and flushing instead of polling. Shutdown assertions remain unchanged.

Changes

Test isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logger test isolation
lib/__tests__/cli-logger.test.ts, lib/__tests__/daemon-logger.test.ts
The tests remove listeners added during execution and restore process handlers and stderr. The daemon logger tests reset singleton state, check queued calls before initialization, and await initialization and flushing.
Shutdown runtime-file cleanup
lib/daemon/__tests__/shutdown.test.ts
The tests clear daemon PID and socket files before and after checking whether files are retained or removed based on the PID.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 27c45

The test-isolation changes are otherwise mergeable, but the shutdown test can fail if its fixed PID matches the test process. Derive a different PID to remove that risk.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a PID value that cannot match this test process.

If process.pid is 999999, removeRuntimeFiles() treats the file as belonging to this process and removes both runtime files. Use a different value, such as process.pid + 1.

Proposed fix
-    writeFileSync(DAEMON_PID_PATH, "999999");
+    writeFileSync(DAEMON_PID_PATH, String(process.pid + 1));

…ogging

The lazyChildLogger block rebuilds the singleton per case, which re-reads
the level from RT_LOG_LEVEL and rt.logLevel, so an earlier file leaving
RT_LOG_LEVEL=warn filtered out the info lines both cases read. Pin it to
info for the block and restore it after.

Both lazy cases now assert the pending queue is empty, and the cli-logger
test calls installCliLogging inside the try so its listener cleanup always
runs.
