* fix(startup): stop a duplicate headless serve from crash-looping and leaking AppImage mounts A second Orca launch that loses the single-instance lock called app.quit() before `ready`. That quit is deferred, so the doomed process kept booting into Chromium's Linux display initialization, failed with "Missing X server or $DISPLAY", and died with SIGSEGV. systemd read that as a crash and restarted it forever; each restart re-mounted the AppImage and left the squashfuse mount behind, until the host hit the 1000-mount FUSE ceiling and every later launch failed. The lock-losing launch now calls app.exit(3), which terminates synchronously before any display init. Exit code 3 is a stable "another process already owns this userData profile" contract, and the documented systemd unit uses RestartPreventExitStatus=3 plus a real StartLimitIntervalSec/StartLimitBurst window so a permanently failing launch can no longer retry unbounded. Second-instance argv is now forwarded to the owner, and a duplicate `orca serve` no longer asks the live headless server to open a desktop window. Desktop activation for ordinary launches and macOS dock re-activation is unchanged. Closes #11935 * docs(headless): clear the start limit before the scripted service starts StartLimitIntervalSec=300/StartLimitBurst=5 rate-limits operator starts too, so after a crash-loop trips the burst systemd refuses a plain `systemctl start` for the rest of the window. The Upgrade and Roll back scripts run under `set -euo pipefail`, so that refusal aborted the rollback mid-flight and left the server down on the exact recovery path the doc prescribes. Both scripts (and their EXIT-trap recoveries) now run `systemctl reset-failed` first, the unit reference explains the interaction, and the crash-loop bullet points at it for manual starts. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * test(startup): reproduce the #11935 duplicate-serve crash loop under real Electron The committed coverage for #11935 was source-text greps, so nothing gated the mechanism the fix rests on: pre-`ready` `app.quit()` is deferred, which is why the lock-losing headless `orca serve` kept booting into Linux display init. This runs two real Electron processes against one disposable profile. The duplicate executes the lock-loss gate's own `app.*` statement, lifted out of `src/main/index.ts`, so reverting to `app.quit()` fails the test. It also feeds the owner's real forwarded argv through `shouldActivateDesktopForSecondInstance`. Also record why the activation predicate matches `--serve` and not the `serve` subcommand: an AppImage launched as `orca serve` exits at the CLI redirect before requesting the lock. * test(startup): wait for the owner process to exit before removing its profile Windows holds the profile's handles for a beat after SIGKILL, so an immediate rmSync can fail with EBUSY/EPERM. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * test(startup): pass the fixture marker path by env, not argv Chromium reorders argv and the duplicate's argv is itself under test, so a trailing positional was the wrong channel for it. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * test(startup): only the activation case waits on the owner notification The exit-contract cases assert on the duplicate's own already-terminated process, so they should not block on cross-process delivery. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * test(startup): drop the staged lock race, keep the real-Electron gate contract CI proved the two-process form cannot work on a display-less Linux runner: Chromium's ProcessSingleton needs the browser IO thread, which needs `ready`, which needs a display. The pre-`ready` owner looked stale and the duplicate took the lock (`expected [ 'DUPLICATE_WON_LOCK' ] to include 'DUPLICATE_LOST_LOCK'`). Lock acquisition and argv forwarding are already covered in single-instance-lock.test.ts. What only a real process can settle is what the loser does next, so that is all this file now runs -- display-independent.
