feat: support live server handoff on windows - #3715
Conversation
|
@coderabbitai review |
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds experimental Windows live handoff support. It transfers listeners and PTY resources, adopts runtimes in the replacement server, and manages commit and rollback transactions. It enables related runtime, terminal, persistence, and API paths on Windows. It adds Windows integration tests for successful handoff, failures, rollback, listener behavior, and system ConPTY refusal. Remote attachment now supports Windows platform detection, PowerShell execution, desktop requirements, installation, and bridging. Documentation now describes the bundled ConPTY requirement. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Windows remote setup can fail for supported custom-binary and space-containing-path configurations, while test cleanup may terminate an unrelated process. These issues should be resolved before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Greptile SummaryThis PR adds opt-in Windows live server handoff using the bundled ConPTY runtime while preserving pane processes, pane identities, terminal state, and public API/client listeners.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge, with no outstanding correctness, security, or repository-rule violations identified. The previous smoke-test finding is resolved: validation now requires the specific invalid app-local ConPTY diagnostic rather than accepting any early nonzero exit, and server stderr is included when lazy bundle loading fails during workspace creation. Review of the subsequent SCP and test-fixture adjustments found no concrete regression.

| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| src/server/headless/lifecycle.rs | Coordinates Windows replacement spawning, handle transfer, commit, rollback, and post-commit ownership. |
| src/platform/windows.rs | Adds bounded private handoff I/O and transferable named-pipe listener primitives. |
| src/server/handoff.rs | Extends the handoff manifest and transaction protocol for Windows resources. |
| src/pane.rs | Imports transferred Windows ConPTY runtimes and delays process waiting and I/O activation until ownership is committed. |
| src/api/server.rs | Makes Windows API listeners pausable, duplicable, releasable, and adoptable by the replacement. |
| src/server/headless/tests/windows_handoff.rs | Exercises successful, degraded, delayed, and rollback Windows handoff scenarios. |
| .github/workflows/ci.yml | Requires the precise invalid app-local ConPTY diagnostic in the package smoke test. |
| scripts/windows_smoke_conpty_path.ps1 | Captures server stderr so startup and lazy bundle-loading failures expose their diagnostic. |

In `@src/server/headless/tests/windows_handoff.rs`:
- Around line 155-157: Update the wait condition in the Windows handoff test to
wait until the file contains the expected terminating Unicode text, rather than
only checking path.exists(). Keep the subsequent read and assertion unchanged,
using the same terminator required by the assertion.
- Around line 184-186: Update the Drop implementation to read and parse the PID
marker once using fallible handling instead of calling pid() multiple times;
skip the handoff when the marker cannot be read or parsed, while preserving the
existing self-PID check and using the single validated PID for OpenProcess.
- Around line 163-164: Update the Windows handoff test flow around
WindowsHandoffStream::new and the subsequent tui() handshake so the retained TUI
stream deadline is reset after the handshake, before observe_child waits and the
test writes Detach. Preserve the existing 10-second timeout duration and
handshake behavior.
- Around line 197-204: Update Session::drop and the Windows handoff cleanup to
track every PID returned by Command::spawn, then validate the marker PID against
that owned PID set before calling OpenProcess or TerminateProcess. Include
replacement servers created by the listener-rebinding test, while preserving the
existing timeout and cleanup behavior for validated PIDs.

1141-1146: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winReject raw
HERDR_REMOTE_BINARYvalues for Windows targets.
resolve_install_sourceaccepts every override path without checking its format. The documented contract requires a bare executable for Linux or macOS and a completeherdr-windows-x86_64.zippackage for Windows. The Windows flow copies the override toherdr-windows-x86_64.zipand invokesExpand-Archive, so a raw executable causes installation to fail. Validate that a Windows override is a complete ZIP package and return a clear error otherwise. Add a test for this rejection.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Windows servers can now use opt-in live handoff with the bundled ConPTY runtime. The replacement retains existing pane processes and public pane IDs while taking over both API and TUI listeners, including the initiating request's final response. Explicit Windows remote setup also identifies remote/server support as experimental and links to GitHub issues.
Both source listeners and pane IO pause before transfer. The replacement stays inactive until COMMIT; a precommit failure terminates the replacement before the original server resumes. A missing ownership acknowledgement after COMMIT does not roll back. System ConPTY remains unsupported. Terminal-state fidelity matches the existing Unix handoff.
Validation:
just check: 2,850 Rust tests passed, plus maintenance, UI architecture, integration assets, plugin marketplace, docs, lint, and build checks.Stacked on #3714; this PR contains the final server handoff layer.
