From 827b84d27ac1fbfefaa0d577d5d531387ea380d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jinwoo Hong <73622457+Jinwoo-H@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 23:05:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(runtime): add single-instance lock + owned-metadata clear (#1312) (#1326) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * fix(runtime): add single-instance lock + owned-metadata clear to prevent orca-runtime.json corruption Closes #1312. Every AppImage/.app relaunch was booting a fresh Electron main that clobbered `/orca-runtime.json` and `agent-hooks/endpoint.env`. When the newest instance quit, metadata pointed at a dead pid and `orca status` reported `stale_bootstrap` even though the original Orca was still running. SIGKILL'd predecessors also left orphaned `o--*.sock` files in userData. Three surgical changes: 1. `app.requestSingleInstanceLock()` in a new `src/main/startup/single-instance-lock.ts` helper, wired into `src/main/index.ts` after `configureDevUserDataPath(is.dev)` so dev and packaged runs lock in separate namespaces. Losing instances focus the primary's window via `second-instance` and quit without touching userData. 2. `clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned(userData, pid, runtimeId)` in `runtime-metadata.ts` — compares both pid AND runtimeId against the current file before clearing, so the auto-updater handoff window never erases the replacement process's fresh bootstrap. Called from a rewritten `will-quit` handler that folds `runtimeRpc.stop()` + owned-clear into the same `Promise.allSettled([disconnectDaemon, …]).then(app.quit)` chain (inside the `!daemonDisconnectDone` guard so the second-pass re-entry can't re-invoke stop+clear). 3. `sweepOrphanedRuntimeSockets()` in `runtime-rpc.ts` runs at the top of `start()` on POSIX, using `process.kill(pid, 0)` to probe liveness and remove `o--*.sock` orphans left by SIGKILL/OOM-kill. Tests (37 new/updated): - `single-instance-lock.test.ts` (3): lock-failed does not register listener; lock-acquired registers exactly one; callback dispatches correctly. - `runtime-metadata.test.ts` (+4): clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned matched / pid-mismatch / runtimeId-mismatch / no-file branches. - `runtime-socket-sweep.test.ts` (4): own-pid-skip / alive-retain / dead-sweep / regex-miss separated via synthetic ownPid=1; two regex-invariant tests assert the sweep regex matches the real `createRuntimeTransportMetadata` output (including the 'rt' fallback). Design doc: `docs/fix-missing-single-instance-lock.md`. Co-authored-by: Orca * fix(runtime): focus hidden windows on second-instance event focus() alone is a silent no-op when the primary window is hidden (close-to-tray on macOS via Cmd+W, or on a different macOS Space) or behind other apps on Windows. Call show() before focus() so a second launch attempt reliably surfaces the existing window regardless of state.

When the most-recent instance quits, the socket is `rmSync`'d in `OrcaRuntimeRpcServer.stop()` but the metadata file is left pointing at the dead pid. `orca status` then returns `runtime.state = 'stale_bootstrap'` even though earlier Orca instances are still running healthily. + +### Root cause + +Three distinct gaps in the main-process lifecycle: + +1. **No single-instance lock.** `grep -rn requestSingleInstanceLock src/` returns zero matches. Every launch boots a full second Electron process instead of focusing the existing window. +2. **No metadata clear on clean exit.** `src/main/runtime/runtime-metadata.ts:29` exports `clearRuntimeMetadata()` but it is never called. The `will-quit` handler in `src/main/index.ts:516` stops the RPC server (removes the socket) but leaves `orca-runtime.json` on disk pointing at a dead pid + missing socket. The safety comment in `src/main/runtime/runtime-rpc.ts:132-136` explicitly declines to clear metadata, citing the risk of erasing another live runtime's bootstrap during restarts / updates / dev overlap — that concern is real but is the *symptom* of missing single-instance, not a principled design. +3. **No startup sweep of orphaned sockets.** A process killed by SIGKILL / OOM-kill skips `OrcaRuntimeRpcServer.stop()` entirely, leaving `o--*.sock` files in `/` with no cleanup path.

Without it, Ordering Y would erase the new +process's just-written metadata. +``` + +## Proposed fix + +Three surgical changes, in decreasing order of importance: + +### 1. Single-instance lock (primary — kills ~90% of the bug surface) + +In `src/main/index.ts`, immediately **after** `configureDevUserDataPath(is.dev)` (line 89) and **before** any handler registration or `app.whenReady(...)`, gate the rest of the module on a new helper `acquireSingleInstanceLock()` (see "Helper extraction" in the testing section): + +```ts +function focusExistingWindow(): void { + // Why: focus the existing window instead of spawning a parallel Electron + // process that would clobber orca-runtime.json and endpoint.env. + if (mainWindow) { + if (mainWindow.isMinimized()) mainWindow.restore() + mainWindow.focus() + } + // Pre-window case: the active instance is still booting and will call + // openMainWindow() from whenReady(). No action needed here. +} + +if (!acquireSingleInstanceLock(app, focusExistingWindow)) { + if (is.dev) { + console.log( + 'Another Orca instance is already running against this userData path — focusing existing window.' + ) + } + app.quit() + // Why: early-return is what prevents the service constructors and handler + // registrations below (whenReady, before-quit, will-quit, etc.) from + // running in a process that is already losing the lock race. + return +} +// All existing app lifecycle setup below. +``` + +**Placement rationale (from codex review):** the lock must come *after* `configureDevUserDataPath(is.dev)` so dev (`orca-dev` userData) and packaged (`orca` userData) instances lock in separate namespaces — Electron derives the lock identity from the `userData` path. Placing it before would force dev and packaged builds to serialize against each other, which is the opposite of the current dev/prod isolation contract. + +**Dev-mode behavior:** kept unconditional. `configureDevUserDataPath` already isolates `pnpm dev` from packaged runs, so devs who want two instances already get the answer by running both a packaged build and a dev build. Allowing multi-instance against the same userData reopens the exact corruption this fix targets. + +**Dev-mode ergonomics:** when the lock fails in dev mode, write a single `console.log('Another Orca instance is already running against this userData path — focusing existing window.')` immediately before `app.quit()`. This makes the behavior discoverable in the `pnpm dev` console so internal devs don't mistake a silent exit for a broken launcher. Packaged runs skip the log — there's no attached console. + +### 2. Clear owned metadata on clean exit (secondary — hardens `stale_bootstrap` reporting) + +Add a guarded clear in `src/main/runtime/runtime-metadata.ts`: + +```ts +/** + * Why: clearing metadata unconditionally would race with a sibling Orca + * process during auto-updater handoff or dev/prod overlap — see the comment + * in runtime-rpc.ts:132-136. The ownership guard preserves the original + * safety invariant while still letting us report 'not_running' (not + * 'stale_bootstrap') after a clean exit. + */ +export function clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned( + userDataPath: string, + ownedPid: number, + ownedRuntimeId: string +): void { + const current = readRuntimeMetadata(userDataPath) + if (!current) return + if (current.pid !== ownedPid) return + if (current.runtimeId !== ownedRuntimeId) return + clearRuntimeMetadata(userDataPath) +} +``` + +In `src/main/index.ts` `will-quit` handler (line 516-548), the clear must be **awaited before Electron exits**, not fire-and-forget. The existing handler uses a two-pass `preventDefault()` pattern with `disconnectDaemon().finally(app.quit())`. The existing `void runtimeRpc.stop().catch(...)` at line 530-534 currently fires independently of that chain; Electron may exit before `runtimeRpc.stop()` resolves, and a `.then(clear)` appended to it would race the second-pass `app.quit()`. Fold both into the awaited chain instead — and do the work **inside** the `!daemonDisconnectDone` guard so `runtimeRpc.stop()` fires exactly once, on the first pass: + +```ts +if (!daemonDisconnectDone) { + e.preventDefault() + // Why: capture ownership synchronously (before any await) so the guard + // still has the right pid/runtimeId to compare against if shutdown + // partially clears global state. Evaluating these inside .then() would + // let a later teardown path null them out mid-chain. + const ownedPid = process.pid + const ownedRuntimeId = runtime?.getRuntimeId() + // Why: the construction AND the allSettled() must both live inside the + // `!daemonDisconnectDone` guard. The will-quit handler re-fires after + // app.quit() below; without this guard, the second pass would re-invoke + // runtimeRpc.stop() (redundant rmSync on an already-removed socket) and + // re-run the ownership-guarded clear against a metadata file that may + // now belong to the auto-updater's replacement process. + const rpcStopAndClear = runtimeRpc + ? runtimeRpc + .stop() + .then(() => { + if (ownedRuntimeId) { + clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned(app.getPath('userData'), ownedPid, ownedRuntimeId) + } + }) + .catch((error) => { + console.error('[runtime] Failed to stop local RPC transport:', error) + }) + : Promise.resolve() + // Why: Promise.allSettled — we need BOTH the daemon disconnect and the RPC + // stop + owned-metadata clear to complete before Electron exits. Using + // allSettled (not all) preserves the existing fail-open posture: if + // disconnectDaemon rejects, we still quit instead of hanging the app. + Promise.allSettled([disconnectDaemon(), rpcStopAndClear]).then(() => { + daemonDisconnectDone = true + app.quit() + }) +} +``` + +Remove the standalone `void runtimeRpc.stop().catch(...)` at line 530-534 — it is folded into `rpcStopAndClear` above. + +**Why compare-before-clear is not over-engineering:** `autoUpdater.quitAndInstall()` quits the old process immediately and relaunches. The new process may already be starting (writing its own metadata) while the old `will-quit` is running. An unconditional clear would delete the new process's fresh metadata. Codex confirmed this is the correct posture. + +### 3. Orphaned-socket sweep on startup (tertiary — hygiene) + +In `OrcaRuntimeRpcServer.start()` (`src/main/runtime/runtime-rpc.ts:51`), before creating the new listener, enumerate `/o-*.sock` and remove any whose pid component is dead: + +```ts +// Why: processes killed by SIGKILL / OOM-kill skip stop() and leave behind +// o--*.sock files. Sweep dead-pid sockets on startup so the userData +// directory does not accumulate orphans over the app's lifetime. +function sweepOrphanedRuntimeSockets(userDataPath: string, ownPid: number): void { + let entries: string[] + try { + entries = readdirSync(userDataPath) + } catch { + return + } + for (const entry of entries) { + const match = /^o-(\d+)-[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.sock$/.exec(entry) + if (!match) continue + const pid = Number(match[1]) + if (!Number.isFinite(pid) || pid === ownPid) continue + try { + process.kill(pid, 0) + // Pid is alive — leave its socket alone. Another Orca instance owns it. + } catch (error) { + if ((error as NodeJS.ErrnoException).code === 'ESRCH') { + try { + rmSync(join(userDataPath, entry), { force: true }) + } catch { + // Best-effort sweep; a permission error is fine to ignore. + } + } + } + } +} +``` + +**Constraints:** only sweep sockets with the exact `o--.sock` shape; skip anything else. Never touch the current process's own pid even though the stricter `start()` flow already rmSync's it. + +**Windows note:** this sweep is POSIX-only by construction — on Windows the transport is a named pipe (`\\.\pipe\orca--`) and named pipes don't leave filesystem entries in `userData`. No sweep needed. + +**Socket-name invariant:** the sweep regex `^o-(\d+)-[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.sock$` must stay in lockstep with `createRuntimeTransportMetadata()` in `runtime-rpc.ts`, which emits `o-${pid}-${endpointSuffix}.sock`. The cheap guard — and what this doc recommends — is a unit test that constructs a transport name via `createRuntimeTransportMetadata()` and asserts the sweep regex matches it; any future change to the socket-name shape trips the test. Longer-term, if the transport name grows more fields, the preferred answer is to export a shared constant or factory from `runtime-rpc.ts` that both the creator and the sweep regex consume, so the two can never drift by construction. Deferred here to keep the diff surgical. + +## Deliberately not in scope + +- **No CLI-side reader fallback.** Scanning for any live `o-*.sock` in `getCliStatus()` would require a per-socket sidecar metadata file (authToken, runtimeId) since today only one shared `orca-runtime.json` exists. That is a multi-instance-by-design change, not a bug fix. The fix above assumes the intended model is one Orca per userData. +- **No per-instance userData.** The env-var override `ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH` at `src/cli/runtime/metadata.js` already exists for power users who genuinely want parallel runtimes. No change. +- **No unlink of `endpoint.env` on stop.** The deferred-cleanup rationale at `src/main/agent-hooks/server.ts:1230-1237` (TOCTOU with a concurrent writer) is still correct under the single-instance lock: auto-update handoff still briefly has two processes sharing the file. Leaving the file unchanged on quit matches the existing fail-open policy and no user symptom motivates changing it. + +## Testing strategy + +### Unit tests (`src/main/runtime/runtime-metadata.test.ts`, extend) + +- `clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned` with matching `{pid, runtimeId}` → file removed. +- `clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned` with mismatched pid → file retained. +- `clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned` with mismatched runtimeId → file retained (simulates another instance having overwritten while we were still alive). +- `clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned` with no file → no-op, no throw. + +### Unit tests (new `src/main/runtime/runtime-socket-sweep.test.ts`) + +Seed a temp userData directory with four entries so the three retention branches are distinct: + +- `o-1-aaaa.sock` → own-pid-skipped branch (test passes `ownPid: 1`, so this is skipped via the `pid === ownPid` early-exit). +- `o--bbbb.sock` → alive-but-not-own branch (`process.kill(pid, 0)` succeeds without `ESRCH` → retained). +- `o-99999999-cccc.sock` → dead-pid branch (`process.kill(pid, 0)` throws `ESRCH` → swept). +- `foo.sock` → non-matching-shape branch (regex miss → retained untouched). + +Run sweep with `ownPid = 1` and assert: the `o-99999999-*.sock` file is gone; the other three remain. Using a synthetic `ownPid` (init pid `1`, effectively always alive on POSIX and never the test runner's own pid) means each of the three retained-entries covers a *distinct* code path, instead of collapsing "own-pid-skipped" and "alive-non-own-pid-retained" into the same observation. + +### Helper extraction for the single-instance lock + +Extract the lock acquisition into `src/main/startup/single-instance-lock.ts`: + +```ts +export function acquireSingleInstanceLock( + app: Electron.App, + onSecondInstance: () => void +): boolean { + if (!app.requestSingleInstanceLock()) { + return false + } + app.on('second-instance', onSecondInstance) + return true +} +``` + +`src/main/index.ts` wires it up inline after `configureDevUserDataPath(is.dev)`. Because the module's top-level cannot `return`, gate the file-writing init (`initDataPath` / `initStatsPath` / `initClaudeUsagePath` / `initCodexUsagePath` / `enableMainProcessGpuFeatures` / `installDevParentWatchdog` / `installDevParentDisconnectQuit`) behind an `if (hasSingleInstanceLock)` block and let the lifecycle handler registrations fire unconditionally — `app.quit()` prevents `whenReady` from ever dispatching, so `runtime` / `runtimeRpc` / `store` / `stats` stay `null` and every shutdown handler short-circuits via optional chaining: + +```ts +const hasSingleInstanceLock = acquireSingleInstanceLock(app, focusExistingWindow) +if (!hasSingleInstanceLock) { + if (is.dev) { + console.log( + '[single-instance] Another Orca instance is already running against this userData path — focusing existing window.' + ) + } + app.quit() +} + +if (hasSingleInstanceLock) { + installDevParentDisconnectQuit(is.dev) + installDevParentWatchdog(is.dev) + initDataPath() + initStatsPath() + initClaudeUsagePath() + initCodexUsagePath() + enableMainProcessGpuFeatures() +} +``` + +### Unit test of the helper (`src/main/startup/single-instance-lock.test.ts`) + +With a fake `app` (stub `requestSingleInstanceLock()` + `on()`): + +- When `requestSingleInstanceLock()` returns `false` → helper returns `false` and does NOT register `'second-instance'`. +- When it returns `true` → helper returns `true` and registers exactly one `'second-instance'` listener that invokes the callback. + +### Integration assertion (narrow) + +Do NOT try to assert "downstream service constructors were not invoked" by re-importing `src/main/index.ts`. Module-level side effects at lines 67-101 (dev watchdog, shell path hydration, userData path configuration) run before the lock check and would fire regardless, either failing the test or requiring heavy mocking. + +Instead, the integration surface the fix cares about is already covered by: (a) the helper unit test above, and (b) the manual repro below. If deeper coverage is wanted later, the right move is to refactor `src/main/index.ts` so the `whenReady`-guarded setup is exported as a testable function — that is a separate refactor and deliberately out of scope for this fix. + +### Manual repro (matches the issue's steps) + +1. Launch packaged Orca. `cp ~/.config/orca/orca-runtime.json /tmp/before.json`. +2. Launch the AppImage / `.app` a second time. Verify the existing window receives focus (no new window appears) and `stat` shows `orca-runtime.json` mtime is unchanged. +3. Quit Orca. Verify `~/.config/orca/orca-runtime.json` is gone and `orca status --json` reports `runtime.state = 'not_running'` (not `'stale_bootstrap'`). +4. Kill a running Orca with `SIGKILL`. Verify that the next Orca launch removes the orphaned `o--*.sock` during `OrcaRuntimeRpcServer.start()`. + +### Regression watch — auto-updater + +`autoUpdater.quitAndInstall()` in `src/main/updater.ts:194` triggers the relaunch flow. The handoff is short (~1s) but non-atomic, so the design relies on the ownership guard to keep both interleavings safe: + +- **Socket is removed before the new process binds.** The old process's `runtimeRpc.stop()` `rmSync`'s `o--*.sock` as part of teardown. The new process then binds its own `o--*.sock`. The brief window of inconsistency is "metadata absent" + "no socket", never "metadata points at a live-but-wrong pid with a still-mounted old socket." +- **New writes before old clears (Ordering Y).** If the new process calls `writeRuntimeMetadata()` before the old process's `clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned()` runs, the guard sees `current.pid !== ownedPid` (and `current.runtimeId !== ownedRuntimeId`) and suppresses the clear. The new metadata survives. +- **Old clears before new writes (Ordering X).** The old process finds its own pid + runtimeId in the file, clears it, and exits. The new process then writes its fresh metadata onto an empty slot. Same end state. +- **CLI behavior during the ~1s window.** `orca status` transitions `ready` → `not_running` (clean, not `stale_bootstrap`) → `starting` → `ready`. It never reports a wrong-pid reading, because the only two observable file states are "file for old pid" (pre-teardown) and "file for new pid" (post-write); the guard prevents a mixed state. + +A future regression report that catches the transient `not_running` during an auto-update should be recognized as intended behavior. + +### Cross-platform coverage + +- **macOS / Linux / Windows:** single-instance lock path is identical (Electron handles the OS-level plumbing). +- **Windows:** named-pipe transport means no socket-sweep work; assert the sweep early-returns on `platform === 'win32'` (or simply does nothing because no matching entries exist). +- **Dev mode:** lock acquired against `orca-dev` userData; asserted by running `pnpm dev` twice and seeing the second exit immediately. + +## Confidence + +High. The diagnosis matches the reported symptom and filesystem evidence one-for-one; the fix adds only calls that Electron and the existing metadata module already expose. Second opinion from codex flagged the `configureDevUserDataPath` ordering constraint and the `clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned` ownership guard, both incorporated above. + +Concretely, the fix closes the reported data-integrity scenarios: double-click relaunch, `gtk-launch` relaunch, clean-quit of a second instance while the first stays open, and orphaned `o--*.sock` files left by SIGKILL / OOM-kill. It deliberately leaves two narrow scenarios open: (1) the auto-updater handoff, where `orca status` may transiently report `not_running` for ~1s between the old process's clear and the new process's write — covered in the regression-watch section above; and (2) deliberate multi-instance launches via `ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH` / `ORCA_DEV_USER_DATA_PATH`, which remain an explicit power-user escape hatch with isolated userData per instance and are not in scope for this fix. diff --git a/src/main/index.ts b/src/main/index.ts index c5c121769..618f2f505 100644 --- a/src/main/index.ts +++ b/src/main/index.ts @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ import { registerCoreHandlers } from './ipc/register-core-handlers' import { triggerStartupNotificationRegistration } from './ipc/notifications' import { OrcaRuntimeService } from './runtime/orca-runtime' import { OrcaRuntimeRpcServer } from './runtime/runtime-rpc' +import { clearRuntimeMetadataIfOwned } from './runtime/runtime-metadata' import { registerAppMenu, rebuildAppMenu } from './menu/register-app-menu' import { checkForUpdatesFromMenu, isQuittingForUpdate } from './updater' import { @@ -29,6 +30,7 @@ import { patchPackagedProcessPath } from './startup/configure-process' import { hydrateShellPath, mergePathSegments } from './startup/hydrate-shell-path' +import { acquireSingleInstanceLock } from './startup/single-instance-lock' import { RateLimitService } from './rate-limits/service' import { attachMainWindowServices } from './window/attach-main-window-services' import { createMainWindow } from './window/createMainWindow' @@ -87,18 +89,67 @@ if (app.isPackaged && process.platform !== 'win32') { }) } configureDevUserDataPath(is.dev) -installDevParentDisconnectQuit(is.dev) -installDevParentWatchdog(is.dev) -// Why: must run after configureDevUserDataPath (which redirects userData to -// orca-dev in dev mode) but before app.setName('Orca') inside whenReady -// (which would change the resolved path on case-sensitive filesystems). -initDataPath() -// Why: same timing constraint as initDataPath — capture the userData path -// before app.setName changes it.
