Summary

Ctrl-C now reports what the CLI was doing when it arrived. Interrupting anything in progress — an in-flight request, a poll interval or retry backoff, a project generator run by clerk init, or clerk webhooks listen once it has drained — exits 130, and the interrupted run is reported to telemetry instead of going unrecorded. Only waiting on a human is a clean exit: cancelling a prompt, abandoning browser sign-in, or quitting $EDITOR all exit 0.

The 130 is emitted by dying from the signal rather than calling process.exit(130). Both make the shell print 130, but only a real signal death sets WIFSIGNALED, which is what a wrapping script inspects; with exit(130) a script keeps running after the user pressed Ctrl-C.

A timer is deliberately not a human wait. clerk deploy status --wait spends roughly 93 seconds of a 95-second run asleep between polls, so treating a sleep as idle meant Ctrl-C almost always exited 0 — which is exactly what that command's exit code means to a script, "the deploy is complete". clerk deploy and its resumable pause report 130 for the same reason: a production instance exists but DNS or OAuth does not, so clerk deploy && ./cutover.sh must stop either way. Because runProgram hands rendering to the signal handler once an interrupt is latched, both commands now print their resume hint and partial status from their own catch blocks rather than through a thrown error's message.

The bookkeeping tail is not a wait either. Interrupting the update check or the closing animation exits 130, which costs about two seconds per successful command where Ctrl-C halts a wrapping script even though the command itself finished. That is the intended trade: a Ctrl-C is a Ctrl-C, and the exit code says so.

An interrupt also has to be classified the same way everywhere it surfaces. Ctrl-C aborts the in-flight request, so it arrives as an AbortError rather than a UserAbortError, and callers that recognised only the latter treated a cancellation as a failure: the command wrappers closed their gutter with "Failed", and clerk init --keyless blamed the network for a fifteen-second timeout and carried on with the rest of setup. Both now share the predicate withSpinner already used. The telemetry bypass is narrowed for the same reason — only the shutdown flush reports the very interrupt that triggered it, so only it may outlive one; applying that bypass to every send let a Ctrl-C mid-POST record the run's success event, with the context already cleared so the handler could not replace it with the abort.

Finally, an interrupted clerk deploy status --wait now reports what the last completed poll established rather than the snapshot taken before the wait began, so a component that verified moments before the Ctrl-C is no longer listed as pending.

Test plan

  • bun run format:check, bun run lint, bun run typecheck
  • bun run test — 2641 pass, 0 fail
  • Unit coverage for the human-wait counter, the latch, sleep's classification, and every exitInterrupted guard
  • Subprocess test asserting the shell-visible contract: WIFSIGNALED / WTERMSIG=2 for work, WEXITSTATUS=0 for a human wait
  • Verified a poll-loop-shaped interrupt dies from SIGINT and stops a && chain, and that a human wait still exits 0 and continues it
  • E2E (bun run test:e2e) — left to CI

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI centralizes SIGINT state, abort signals, wait classification, telemetry flushing, and exit handling. Active operations use SIGINT semantics and exit code 130. Browser-login, prompt, and editor waits exit cleanly. Requests and timers propagate interruption. Deploy and webhook commands preserve cleanup and reporting behavior. Prompt-exit classification now uses UserAbortError only. Tests cover signal state, subprocess exits, requests, telemetry, deployment, and webhook shutdown.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2853d

Interrupting a command during its final telemetry flush can lose the abort event that should record the interrupted run, so telemetry may be incomplete. The PR is not fully merge-ready until this race is addressed or explicitly accepted; separate documentation and signal-handler follow-ups also remain open.

- Treat `UserAbortError` as a successful prompt cancellation
- Make interrupted deploys exit with status 0
- Restore SIGINT listeners when the Clerk Bird game exits
- Exit interrupted operations via SIGINT with status 130
- Treat auth and timer waits as clean exits
- Abort in-flight requests and flush interrupt telemetry
The wait/work split classified a timer as idle, but every sleep in the
CLI is a step inside an operation. `clerk deploy status --wait` spends
~93s of a ~95s run asleep between polls, so Ctrl-C almost always landed
in that window and exited 0 — which is exactly what that command's exit
code means to a script: "the deploy is complete". In a non-TTY run, where
clack is not there to absorb the interrupt, `clerk deploy status --wait
&& ./promote.sh` promoted a deploy the user had just interrupted, and it
printed nothing on the way out.

Narrow the clean exit to waiting on a human — browser sign-in and the
$EDITOR round-trip — and rename the seam to `whileAwaitingUser` so the
next poll loop does not reach for it. Everything else is work: requests,
timers, poll intervals, the decorative shine, and the bookkeeping tail.

Dropping `markCommandComplete` means Ctrl-C during the tail now exits
130 too. That is deliberate: a Ctrl-C is a Ctrl-C and the exit code says
so. The cost is a ~2s window per successful command (1500ms update check
plus ~450ms of animation) where interrupting halts a wrapping script even
though the command itself finished.

`deploy`'s resumable pause goes back to 130 for the same reason — a
production instance exists but DNS or OAuth does not, so `clerk deploy &&
cutover` must stop either way. That removes the only zero-exit CliError,
so the special cases it needed in `reportError` and
`telemetryResultForError` go with it.

Because `runProgram` returns early once an interrupt is latched, a thrown
error's message never reaches the terminal on this path. `deploy` now
prints its resume hint, and `deploy status` its partial report, as side
effects from their own catch blocks.

Also route `webhooks listen`'s drain through a shared
`reportAndExitInterrupted`. It handles its own Ctrl-C so it can drain
in-flight forwards, and it was exiting without telling telemetry
anything — leaving the command most likely to actually receive a SIGINT
as the one that never reported it.

This guard calls exitInterrupted without return, which is the exact pattern the new interrupts.md rule warns about ("Call it as return exitInterrupted(...) at call sites too"). Under a no-op process.exit stub, the same stub listen.test.ts installs, a second Ctrl-C falls through into beginInterrupt(), the raw-mode and cursor writes, and a second reportAndExitInterrupted, so telemetry flushes twice. The existing test only passes because its stub throws instead of no-op'ing.

The drain is a fire-and-forget void (async () => ...)() with no .catch. If anything in it rejects (the dynamic telemetry import inside reportAndExitInterrupted, or client?.stop() throwing), the rejection is unobserved and the process never reaches the signal-death exit this PR exists to guarantee. A .catch that falls back to exitInterrupted keeps the contract even on an unexpected error.

    (async () => {
      beginInterrupt();
      shuttingDown = true;
      resolveSetupGate();
      client?.stop();

AbortSignal.any([own, interruptSignal()]) registers an abort listener on the shared process-lifetime signal for every request that brings its own signal, and the listener is only released when the derived signal is garbage collected. webhooks/forward.ts passes AbortSignal.timeout(30_000) per delivery and deliveries run concurrently, so a burst can pile enough listeners on the shared signal to trip the default max-listeners warning. Raising the ceiling on the shared signal documents that it is intentionally observed by unbounded concurrent requests.

// in signals.ts
import { setMaxListeners } from "node:events";

let controller = new AbortController();
setMaxListeners(0, controller.signal);

export function _resetInterruptState(): void {
  controller = new AbortController();
  setMaxListeners(0, controller.signal);
  waits = 0;
  interrupted = null;
}

// nothing below this frame runs and the command would otherwise print

The comment says this emits "what the last completed poll established", but state here is the snapshot resolved before runWait started, and waitForDeployStatus never writes its polled status back into it. If DNS turned valid on the last poll before Ctrl-C, the report still shows the pre-wait pending status. Either thread the latest polled status out of the wait loop, or reword the comment to say the report reflects the pre-wait state.

let lastKnownStatus: DeployComponentStatus | undefined;
try {
  outcome = await runWait(state, {
    triggerCheck: !preflightTriggered,
    onProgress: (status) => { lastKnownStatus = status; },
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (interruptedExitCode() === null) throw error;
  const partialState = lastKnownStatus
    ? { ...state, snapshot: { ...state.snapshot, componentStatus: lastKnownStatus } }
    : state;
  emitReport(buildDeployStatusReport(partialState, null));

Took the first option — threading the polled status out — since the comment was describing the behavior that was intended rather than the one that shipped, and the report genuinely could list a component as pending after it had verified.

DeployProgressHandlers gained an optional onStatus, fired in waitForDeployStatus after each poll resolves a fresh status (both the initial read and each retry iteration). deployStatus captures the latest into lastPolledStatus and passes it on the interrupt path:

const partial = lastPolledStatus ? { verified: false, status: lastPolledStatus } : null;
emitReport(buildDeployStatusReport(state, partial));

buildDeployStatusReport already prefers outcome?.status ?? snapshot.componentStatus, so the fresh status flows into pendingDnsRecords via cnameTargetPending and a record that verified on the last poll is no longer reported as pending. verified: false is always correct on this path — had a poll returned complete, waitForDeployStatus would have returned normally and never reached the catch. When no poll completed, it passes null and falls back to the pre-wait snapshot exactly as before.

This exact ternary now appears verbatim in five files this PR edits (here, apps/create.ts, apps/list.ts, config/push.ts, users/list.ts). Since every call site was already open in the diff, a shared helper next to UserAbortError would keep the classification in one place.

// errors.ts
export function closeStatusForError(error: unknown): "paused" | "failed" {
  return error instanceof UserAbortError ? "paused" : "failed";
}

// each call site

Extracted, with two deviations from the suggestion.

It could not live in errors.ts: the predicate needs interruptedExitCode(), and signals.ts already imports EXIT_CODE from errors.ts, so that direction is an import cycle. It also could not live in spinner.ts next to the existing private isCancelled — 17 test files stub that module with mock.module, and adding an export there failed 49 tests with SyntaxError: Export named 'closeStatusForError' not found in module. It ended up in lib/signals.ts, which owns the interrupt state and is mocked by no test file.

The second deviation is the predicate itself. UserAbortError alone is not the right test here: Ctrl-C aborts the in-flight request, so it surfaces as an AbortError and these wrappers were closing their gutter with "Failed" on a plain interrupt. The helper reuses the same condition withSpinner already applied (spinner.ts:90), so the wrappers and the spinner now agree on what counts as a cancellation:

export function closeStatusForError(error: unknown): "paused" | "failed" {
  return isCancelled(error) ? "paused" : "failed";
}

All five call sites now use it.

// the moment an interrupt is latched — so nothing below would ever print.
// A half-finished deploy is exactly when the resume hint matters, so emit it
// here as a side effect rather than relying on the thrown error's message.

This catch calls isInsideGutter() three times and pausedOutro(pausedOperationNotice()) twice across three sequential ifs, which reads as three independent conditions when there are really two outcomes. Hoisting the gutter check and collapsing the duplicate paused call makes the branching visible.

} catch (error) {
  const insideGutter = isInsideGutter();
  if (interruptedExitCode() !== null) {
    if (insideGutter) pausedOutro(pausedOperationNotice());
    throw error;
  }
  if (error instanceof DeployPausedError) {
    if (insideGutter) outro("Paused");
  } else if (error instanceof UserAbortError) {
    if (insideGutter) pausedOutro(pausedOperationNotice());
    throw new UserAbortError();
  }

isInsideGutter() isn't a pure read. outro and pausedOutro both call popPrefix() (lib/spinner.ts:54 and :76), and runDeploy closes its own gutter on several paths — outro("Cancelled") at :157 and :364, outro("Success") at :642 — so by the time this catch runs the prefix may already be popped. The finally at :105 re-reads it for exactly that reason: it's what stops a second outro("Failed") printing after an inner outro("Cancelled") already closed the block. Hoisting to a single const insideGutter is safe inside the catch today, since DeployPausedError and UserAbortError are mutually exclusive and only one branch runs — but it puts a stale value one edit away from the finally, where it would double-print on every cancelled deploy.

The restructure also isn't behavior-preserving. Line :90 currently requires both interruptedExitCode() !== null and isInsideGutter(). When an interrupt is latched but the gutter is already closed, it falls through to :97 and rethrows a fresh UserAbortError() rather than the original error. Moving the gutter check into an inner if makes the interrupt branch throw unconditionally, changing what escapes on that path.

I've left the duplication for now. If you think the fall-through at :90 is itself the bug — that a latched interrupt should always throw error regardless of gutter state — I'd agree that's worth fixing, but as a deliberate behavioral change rather than a side effect of a readability pass. Is that what you were after?

…tatus, and command wrappers

- signals: return exitInterrupted so a second Ctrl-C cannot fall through and
  flush telemetry twice
- signals: share closeStatusForError/isCancelled so command wrappers agree with
  withSpinner on what a cancel is
- signals: raise the max-listener ceiling on the shared interrupt signal, which
  unbounded concurrent requests observe
- telemetry: scope the ignoreInterrupt bypass to the shutdown flush instead of
  every send
- deploy status: report the last polled status on interrupt rather than the
  pre-wait snapshot
- init: stop misreporting an interrupted keyless setup as a 15s network timeout
- webhooks listen: exit by signal even if the drain rejects
- clerk-bird: use rawListeners so restored SIGINT handlers keep once semantics

Preserve telemetry context for an interrupted final flush.

If SIGINT arrives during a normal final telemetry POST, Line 244 aborts that request. finalizeAndSendTelemetry() already cleared context before the POST starts. reportAndExitInterrupted() then finds no context and cannot send the required outcome: "abort" event.

Keep the context claimable until the normal flush completes, or transfer it atomically to the interrupt path. Add a race test for SIGINT during final telemetry delivery.

Aborting that request is the intended half of this change. Previously ignoreInterrupt: true was passed on every send, so a Ctrl-C mid-POST let the normal outcome: "success" event complete and be recorded for a run the user had just interrupted. .claude/rules/interrupts.md scopes that bypass to the shutdown flush only ("exists solely for the shutdown telemetry flush — do not add other callers"), which is what this now implements.

The second half — the shutdown flush finding no context — is real, but it predates this PR rather than being introduced by it. finalizeAndSendTelemetry clears context unconditionally at entry, and those lines are untouched here:

const current = context;
context = null;
if (!current) return;   // the shutdown flush no-ops here

So the abort event was never being sent in this window. What changed is that the incorrect success event no longer masks the gap: it went from recording the wrong outcome to recording nothing. That is a strict improvement for data integrity, but it is not yet the behavior the rule describes.

Fixing it properly means holding context until a send actually lands, so an aborted normal flush leaves it for the shutdown flush to re-send as "abort". That needs a de-dupe latch, because both flushes can be in flight simultaneously (1500ms normal deadline vs. the 250ms interrupt budget) and the handler's dynamic import("./telemetry.ts") makes the ordering racy. Getting that wrong double-sends events, which is worse than the current gap. Tracking it as a follow-up rather than expanding this PR's scope.

@wyattjoh, agreed. ignoreInterrupt: outlivesInterrupt correctly prevents a normal final flush from recording outcome: "success" after SIGINT.

The missing abort event is a pre-existing telemetry-context ownership gap. My finding incorrectly presented it as introduced by this diff. The required fix needs explicit context ownership and de-duplication between the normal flush and the shutdown flush. That work is not safe to add as a small change here.

Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for the telemetry context handoff and race coverage?

Learning: In `packages/cli-core/src/lib/telemetry.ts`, `finalizeAndSendTelemetry()` clears the module-level telemetry `context` before starting its send. If SIGINT interrupts a normal final telemetry flush, the shutdown flush cannot currently emit an `outcome: "abort"` event. This gap predates PR `#420`. `ignoreInterrupt` must remain limited to the shutdown telemetry flush so a normal success event cannot complete after SIGINT. A future fix requires context ownership transfer or retention plus de-duplication for concurrent normal and shutdown flushes.
