fix(transforms): fence and drain background JSX cache prune passes - #4511
Conversation
A scheduled prune runs from a timer callback, so no caller owns its promise
and nothing could wait for it. cancelScheduledJsxCachePrunes() cleared the
timers it could see, but a pass already suspended on its filesystem scan
resumed afterwards and armed the follow-up work its own bookkeeping asked
for. The new timer then fired inside whichever test happened to be running,
which the leak sanitizer reported against that unrelated test:
A timer was started before the test, but completed during the test.
at scheduleJsxCachePruneRetry (jsx-cache.ts:1771)
at promotePersistedJsxCachePruneRequest (jsx-cache.ts:1537)
That is the intermittent "scheduled prune bound" failure: the step named in
CI is only the one unlucky enough to be running when a prior test's timer
landed, which is why it moved between shards and passed on rerun.
- Cancellation is now a fence. Each pass captures a generation counter when
it starts and re-arms only while that generation is current, so a pass
that resumes after a cancellation declines to schedule the follow-up
timer or promotion instead of racing teardown for it.
- In-flight passes are retained as promises rather than bare keys, so
waitForJsxCacheMaintenance can settle them. Cancelling cannot unwind
filesystem work already issued, so teardown has to await it.
- waitForJsxCacheMaintenanceForTests is renamed waitForJsxCacheMaintenance:
draining the module's background work is the module's own contract, not a
test-only affordance.
Verified by running the affected file 40 times with no failures; the same
loop reproduced the flake once in 30 runs beforehand.

…ding Addresses Codex review on #4511. The generation fence was applied too broadly in the promotion pump. When a cancellation retired an active promotion and new work asked for the same request directory before that promise settled, requestPersistedJsxCachePrunePromotion only set activeJsxCachePrunePromotionRequestedAgain. The settle handler then put the directory back in the pending set but returned on the generation mismatch without pumping it, and every later request for that directory short-circuited on "already pending", so the work sat stranded until an unrelated directory happened to start the pump. The flag is already generation-scoped -- cancellation clears it -- so a set flag means the request arrived after the cancellation and is still live: - The fulfilled handler no longer checks the generation at all. It re-queues only what someone asked for again, and arming a timer is fenced inside the promotion itself. - The rejected handler keeps the fence for its own retry, which does belong to the retired generation, but now pumps a request that arrived after the cancellation instead of leaving it pending and unowned.

Addresses Codex review on #4511. Two passes for one cache directory can overlap. A firing pass keeps its map entry as a reserved slot with no timer, which is exactly what lets a follow-up arm the next timer for the same key before the first pass settles. Keying the in-flight map by prune key therefore let the second pass overwrite the first's promise, so whichever settled first deleted the shared entry and made the other invisible to waitForJsxCacheMaintenance(). The same settle could also delete a newer pass's reserved scheduled entry. - In-flight passes are keyed by a per-pass id, so each pass retires only its own promise and teardown sees every pass that is still running. - The persisted-request scan needs to know whether a key is covered at all, not by whom, so a small reference count replaces the membership check. - The reserved scheduled entry is retired only when it is still the settling pass's own entry and still has no timer.

Addresses Codex and CodeRabbit review on #4511, which both flagged this. The generation fence covered a pass's own follow-up but not the retries the scan arms on its way through. collectExcessJsxArtifacts schedules a retry when the directory scan fails and again when an artifact removal asks to be revisited, so a pass that resumed after a cancellation re-armed exactly the timers teardown had just retired, and waitForJsxCacheMaintenance() could settle the pass while maintenance was armed again. collectExcessJsxArtifacts and revisitJsxCacheDirectory now take the prune generation and check it before arming either retry. The parameter is optional: callers outside a scheduled pass, including the direct callers in the suites, pass nothing and are never fenced, so ordinary maintenance is unchanged. This covers the prune-owned retries. The lease-recovery retries in recoverStaleFilesystemLease are reached from withJsxArtifactLock on the serve, refresh and write paths as well, where the retry is wanted, so fencing those needs the generation carried rather than passed and is tracked separately in veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#1474. Regression test "should leave no armed timer when cancellation lands mid-scan" fails without the fence and passes with it. Refs veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#1466

Addresses Codex review on #4511. The generation-mismatch branch pumped only when the request was for the same directory the fenced pass had been promoting. A request for a *different* directory that arrived while that pass still owned the promotion slot was added to the pending set and then left there: it did not set activeJsxCachePrunePromotionRequestedAgain, so this branch returned without pumping, and every later request for it short-circuited on "already pending". It stayed stranded until some unrelated directory happened to start the pump. The slot is free once the fenced pass rejects, so this branch now always pumps, and re-queues its own directory only when someone asked for it again. Refs veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#1466

Addresses Codex review on #4511. Threading the generation into the scan fenced the two retries collectExcessJsxArtifacts arms itself, but not the one revisitJsxCacheDirectory arms when the scan rejects outright. The scan's own catch only covers the directory walk, so a failure in a later awaited operation -- dating or removing an artifact -- propagates out and re-armed the directory unconditionally, leaving waitForJsxCacheMaintenance() able to finish with a timer armed. That catch now consults mayArmJsxCachePruneRetry as well, so all three retries a scheduled pass can arm are fenced by the generation it started in. Refs veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#1466

Problem
Coverage shards fail intermittently on PRs that do not touch the code involved, ejecting PRs from the merge queue. Refs veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#1466.
The named flake is
src/transforms/mdx/esm-module-loader/jsx-cache.test.ts, step "scheduled prune bound ... sweeps a stale persisted-request lock whose request was never written" — seen failing then passing on rerun on #4505 (shard 1/4) and #4504 (shard 4/4).Root cause (a real defect, proven)
A scheduled prune runs from a timer callback, so no caller owns its promise and nothing could wait for it (
jsx-cache.ts:1778,void (async () => {...})()).inFlightJsxCachePrunestracked only key strings, never the promises, sowaitForJsxCacheMaintenanceForTestscould not settle them.cancelScheduledJsxCachePrunes()cleared the timers it could see, but a pass already suspended on its filesystem scan resumed afterwards and armed the follow-up work its own bookkeeping asked for. The new timer then fired inside whichever test happened to be running:Because the timer lands on whichever test is running, the step named in CI is a symptom, not the location of the bug — which is consistent with the flake moving between shards and passing on rerun.
Fix
waitForJsxCacheMaintenancecan settle them. Cancelling cannot unwind filesystem work already issued, so teardown has to await it.waitForJsxCacheMaintenanceForTests→waitForJsxCacheMaintenance: draining the module's background work is the module's own contract, not a test-only affordance.recoverStaleFilesystemLeaseare shared with the serve/refresh/write paths, where the retry is wanted, so fencing them needs the generation carried rather than passed. Tracked as veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#1474.Sanitizers were already enabled for this file and stay enabled; no
sanitize*: falseis added.Verification — and an important caveat
What is proven:
should leave no armed timer when cancellation lands mid-promotionis deterministic (it cancels synchronously while the promotion is suspended; no wall-clock dependency) and was checked red/green: it fails with the generation fence removed and passes with it.deno fmt,deno lint,deno checkclean.lint:check-awaits,lint:sanitizer-baseline(340/340),lint:testing-front-door,lint:test-semantic-dispositionsall pass.940b3d5, including all four coverage shards.What is not proven, stated plainly:
UNIT_DENO_TEST_ENVfromscripts/test/suites.ts:DENO_TESTING=1,VF_DISABLE_LRU_INTERVAL=1,VERYFRONT_TEST_OFFLINE_REACT=1, …). Re-running the pre-fix code 30 times under the CI-exact env produced 0 failures, so that reproduction does not establish what I thought it did.Correction on the separate "pending promise" symptom
An earlier revision of this description claimed the
Promise resolution is still pending but the event loop has already resolvedshard failure bisects tosrc/platform/adapters/fs/veryfront/adapter.test.ts. That claim was wrong and has been removed. It was an artifact of the same missing-env mistake: withoutDENO_TESTING=1the env overlay insrc/testing/bdd.tsis not consulted (src/platform/compat/process/env.ts:22-31), a feature flag the test sets never takes effect, and the step hangs onawait started(adapter.test.ts:600), which is what produced the leak I bisected to. Under the correct env that file passes, and 8/8 CI-exact local runs of the 278-file batch showed no leak. That symptom remains unexplained and is not addressed here.Summary by CodeRabbit
