Closes #6529

Why this change

image-dimension-limit.regression.ts passes every assertion, prints its success line, and then never exits, so the runner kills it at 30 seconds and the lane fails. It hit roughly one full lane in three.

The issue guessed at a keep-alive socket. It is not one. With a diagnostic dump at hang time, the only live handle is a MessagePort: the worker thread that pino-pretty runs in outside production. The worker stays referenced until a READY handshake sees its read index reach a write index it recorded earlier. thread-stream 4.2.0 checks that with ===. This spec logs retry warnings while the worker is still starting, so the read index can jump past the recorded value, or be reset under it, and the handshake never finishes. Every hung run showed the same state: ready: false, read index equal to write index.

Upstream fixed exactly this in pinojs/thread-stream#246 and #251 (issues #245 and #250), but no release carries it yet: npm's latest is still 4.2.0.

The spec is not the root cause, so the spec is unchanged. The same race can keep any non-production process open: pnpm dev, scripts, other regressions. User installs are not affected, because start.sh and start.bat set NODE_ENV=production, which skips the pretty worker.

What changed

  • patches/thread-stream@4.2.0.patch applies upstream's two commits (index.js +1 line, lib/wait.js), registered in pnpm-workspace.yaml next to the existing onnxruntime patch, with a note to drop it once a release after 4.2.0 ships the fix. The Dockerfiles already copy patches/.
  • log-worker-ready.regression.ts drives a real ThreadStream, the copy pino loads, through a scripted worker swapped in with thread-stream's own worker-path hook, as upstream's tests do. One scenario reads past the handshake's recorded value; the other overfills a 4-byte buffer so thread-stream's own flushSync and resetIndexes run twice while the handshake is pending. Both fail on unpatched 4.2.0 (no ready within 5 s) and pass with the patch.
  • The regression runner prints each file that did not pass, with its status, before the summary. Before this, a timeout showed up only as 1 failed with no failing file named in the summary.

Validation

  • pnpm check passes locally
  • Container (Docker / Podman) built and ran without issue
  • Ran the app, clicked through the changes manually
  • Checked edge cases (light + dark mode, mobile viewport, empty states, error paths)
  • Above manual verification completed (describe below)
  • Read and followed CONTRIBUTING.md

Manual verification notes

What the agent ran:

  • image-dimension-limit.regression.ts alone, same machine, same loop: 11 of 30 runs hung after printing success on unpatched staging, 0 of 40 with the patch.
  • log-worker-ready.regression.ts against the unpatched and patched copies of thread-stream: both scenarios fail on the first and pass on the second, 25 of 25 runs.
  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile with the patch; pnpm check; the full pnpm regression:node lane (358/358, after rebasing onto staging with feat(agents): install and manage a purpose-built decision model #6556). A local CodeRabbit review reported 0 findings.
  • podman build -f Dockerfile: both installs (full and --prod) applied the patch, the image contains only the patched thread-stream, and the container answered /api/health with 200.

Still to verify by hand:

  • Run pnpm regression a few times and confirm image-dimension-limit.regression.ts no longer times out.

Docs and release impact

  • No docs changes needed
  • Updated docs (README / CONTRIBUTING / android/README / CHANGELOG) as needed
  • Translated docs on the docs-i18n branch updated to match, or a [docs-i18n] follow-up issue opened (see CONTRIBUTING.md § Translated documentation)
  • Version/release files updated (only if this PR includes a version bump)

CHANGELOG entry added under [Unreleased]. No docs under docs/ change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Development servers, scripts, and regression checks now exit reliably when logging occurs while the logging worker is starting.
    • Worker readiness is handled more reliably, preventing intermittent startup hangs.
  • Tests
    • Regression summaries now identify each check that did not pass and show its status.

Outside production the server logs through pino-pretty in a thread-stream
worker, which stays referenced until its READY handshake sees the read
index reach a write index it snapshotted earlier. thread-stream 4.2.0
compares with ===, so when logging continues during startup the read index
can jump past the snapshot, or be reset under it, and the handshake never
completes. The worker then holds the event loop open forever.

That is the image-dimension regression's hang (Pasta-Devs#6529): its retry warnings
land while the worker boots, it prints its success line, and then sits
until the runner kills it at 30 seconds. It was never a keep-alive socket;
the only live handle at hang time is the worker's MessagePort, with the
stream stuck at ready=false and read == write.

Apply upstream's fix (pinojs/thread-stream#246 and Pasta-Devs#251) as a pnpm patch
until a release after 4.2.0 ships it. Measured on this machine, the spec
alone: 11/30 runs hung unpatched, 0/40 patched.

The regression runner also names every file that did not pass, so a
timeout no longer shows up only as "1 failed".

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR patches thread-stream@4.2.0 wait handling and index-reset notifications. It adds regression coverage for READY-handshake races and updates regression summaries to identify each failed file.

Wait handling and READY-handshake regression
patches/thread-stream@4.2.0.patch, pnpm-workspace.yaml, scripts/regressions/log-worker-ready.regression.ts, scripts/regressions/fixtures/thread-stream-ready-worker.cjs
The patch updates wait-result checks and notifies waiters when indexes reset. The workspace applies the patch. The fixture-backed regression checks handshake completion when the read index advances past the snapshot or resets below it.
Regression failure reporting
scripts/run-regressions.mjs, CHANGELOG.md
The runner reports each failed regression’s status and file while retaining result counts and the failure exit code. The changelog records the shutdown fix and summary update.

- Around line 1-45: Update the regression around `reset` and `waitFor` to
exercise the patched `resetIndexes` path rather than notifying the fixture’s
`SharedArrayBuffer` directly. Drive the reset through the real thread-stream
lifecycle or use a narrow test hook, and assert that the reset wakes the waiter
and returns control for a fresh snapshot.

Comment thread scripts/regressions/log-worker-ready.regression.ts
The spec called thread-stream's wait() on a hand-made buffer and faked the
index reset, so it never ran the patched reset path. It now builds a real
ThreadStream and swaps in a scripted worker through thread-stream's own
worker-path hook, as upstream's tests do. One scenario reads past the READY
snapshot; the other overfills a 4-byte buffer so writeSync runs flushSync
and resetIndexes twice while the handshake is pending. Both fail on
unpatched 4.2.0 and pass with the patch.
