Summary

A valid large response can disconnect a remote viewer when a small notification is already in flight. Shared notifications also used a promise queue outside the transport's queue budget.

Use one Writable queue and send-completion callbacks throughout the Host output path. A viewer can have one large response queued or in flight plus an 8 MiB ordinary waiting queue. Overflow disconnects only that viewer; the execution owner and other viewers continue. Viewer loss releases pending sends, while normal completion flushes output before closing.

This change preserves native Harness behavior and does not replay requests. It contains only the Host transport changes; Web history loading is reviewed separately.

Writes accepted without backpressure let Host state updates proceed immediately. Backpressured writes and shared notifications release their completion callbacks per write, so a continuously nonempty viewer queue does not retain a drain waiter for every previously sent notification.

Web history companion: #870.

Test plan

  • Follow-up validation after the first CI run: all 9 reported failing cases reproduced locally and now pass. Nine focused Host test files pass in full (168 tests), including a steady-backlog test that completes 300 sends without accumulating output listeners. The old drain-listener assertion now checks actual buffered backpressure. Build/typecheck, changed-file lint and the commit hook pass.

  • An additional Windows run of the complete Host Vitest directory passed 2,084 tests with 56 skips and 10 failures. Those additional failures comprise Unix-path expectations, unavailable Windows file-symlink privilege, and inherited task-environment effects; all 22 client-channel tests passed with a clean test environment. This broader local run is not claimed green. The updated PR CI is the full cross-platform validation.

  • Windows / Node 24.19.0: npx vitest run --config tests/vitest.config.js packages/host-runtime/test/remote-app-server-backpressure.test.ts — 10 passed, including a large response behind a queued notification, subsequent frame ordering, viewer overflow isolation, disconnect, and final draining. Rechecked in the final combined validation run.

  • Earlier revision validation (before the follow-up above): Windows shared owner, output failure, native passthrough, listener and shared Thread suites passed with their platform skips; Linux / Node 22.23.2 backpressure (9), shared owner (4), listener (18), and shared Thread (14) tests passed.

  • npm run build:typescript, npm run typecheck, changed-file ESLint, node tools/check-boundaries.mjs, and the pre-commit formatting hook passed.

  • No Rust sources changed; full repository suites and a new macOS runtime check were not run.

The queue budget intentionally disconnects a viewer that accumulates two large responses before the first finishes. It is a bounded transport queue, not a total process-memory limit.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 改进
    • 优化远程输出传输:慢速查看端超过队列限制时,仅关闭该连接,不影响其他查看端或正在运行的任务。
    • 输出按序发送;任务正常结束时会等待待发送内容完成,查看端断开后剩余输出仍会继续排空。
    • 完善不完整消息、传输错误及连接关闭时的处理。
  • 文档
    • 补充查看端输出缓冲区限制、背压及结束处理说明。

新增 WebSocket 输出 Writable,按帧模式发送数据并限制排队量。会话结束时等待输出流完成。共享查看器超出队列限制时,仅断开对应连接。新增测试和架构文档说明相关行为。

Changes: WebSocket 输出处理

Layer / File(s) Summary
输出流与帧发送
packages/host-runtime/src/remote-app-server-output.ts
新增 RemoteAppServerOutput,支持 messages 和 ndjson 两种帧模式。发送回调推进写入。队列超限或已有大帧未完成时,终止对应 WebSocket。
会话与 Host 写入集成
packages/host-runtime/src/remote-app-server-session.ts, packages/host-runtime/src/app-server-host.ts, packages/host-runtime/src/shared-thread-owner.ts
会话改用 RemoteAppServerOutput,并在标记完成前等待输出结束。OrderedWriter 调整为直接写入流。共享查看器写入失败时关闭 peer 并销毁输入流。
背压验证与行为说明
packages/host-runtime/test/remote-app-server-backpressure.test.ts, packages/host-runtime/test/app-server-host.projection-1.test.ts, packages/host-runtime/test/app-server-host.output-failure.test.ts, packages/adapters/antigravity/test/acp-transport.test.ts, docs/architecture/host-client-channel.md
新增测试覆盖帧模式、队列限制、慢速查看器、连接断开、监听器停止及 Desktop 输出失败。ACP 测试改为等待迟到权限请求的取消答复。架构文档说明写入推进、背压等待和查看端缓冲限制。

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: bytepioneer-ai

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 0b948

Large ordered responses now go through a single bounded output queue, and only an overflowing viewer is disconnected. The previously flagged listener growth under a steady backlog no longer applies to the current code. No merge-blocking risk remains in the reviewed changes.

Pre-merge checks: Passed 4

不要为每条通知单独等待整个输出流的 drain。

新输出流会等待 WebSocket 发送回调。若查看端持续保留约 1 MiB 积压,并在每发送一条 1 KiB 通知后补入一条,队列不会超过 8 MiB,但 write() 会持续返回 false。队列未清空时,Node 不会触发 drain。(raw.githubusercontent.com)

此处每次调用 writeJsonFrame 都会新增一组 drain、error、close 监听器。即使对应通知已经发送,这组监听器仍然保留。因此,监听器和 Promise 会随累计通知数增长,而不是随当前排队字节数受限。(raw.githubusercontent.com)

最终排空或关闭时,逐个移除这些监听器还会产生二次方级清理开销,影响共享事件循环及其他查看端。请改用单次 write 的完成回调处理错误,或复用一个 drain 等待器,不要为每条通知创建独立等待器。(raw.githubusercontent.com)
