First half of #2494: package the execution supervisor as an executable component (execution 0.0.1, protocol 1.0), with a strict manifest, bounded length-prefixed protocol, packaging script, and live protocol tests. Core host client, parity, and removal of the linked dependency follow in the Core PR. Linux x86_64 tarball is built and smoke-tested; per-target matrix follows #2491.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an installable execution component that communicates over standard input and output, supporting job creation, monitoring, termination, and output retrieval.
    • Added Linux x86_64 packaging with component verification and checksums.
    • Added optional streaming notifications for captured job output.
    • Added commands to display the component version and validate a component manifest.
    • Added protocol v2 support; v1-only handshakes are not supported.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded project documentation with component setup, protocol, packaging, output-streaming, and shutdown details.

…t (#2494)

Add the executable `execution` component boundary on top of the landed
supervisor:

- `bitty-component.toml` (`execution`, 0.0.1, protocol [1, 1],
  `bitty-execution`) plus a closed fail-closed descriptor parser and
  `--check-manifest` validation.
- Versioned stdio protocol v1: framed handshake, bounded Spawn/Terminate/
  ReadOutput/Shutdown requests, Spawned/Started/Output/Exit/Canceled/
  OutputView/Error replies, typed enums, 256 KiB frame cap, no file or
  argv surface outside an explicit Spawn.
- `bitty-execution` server wrapping `JobRegistry`: serialized writer,
  Spawned-first ordering, synchronous output backpressure, typed cancel
  and deadline outcomes, bounded shutdown, PTY refused as host-owned.
- `JobRegistry::with_output_observer` streaming seam (store totals
  unchanged) with an integration probe.
- `scripts/package-component.sh` per-target tarball, sidecar, and
  SHA256SUMS with descriptor/version/digest validation; shape test; CI
  Linux x86_64 build/package/smoke job. No tag and no R2 publication.
- Live tests over the real binary: command lifecycle and exit status,
  typed cancellation, hard timeout, retained output, failed spawn,
  unknown/stale ids, oversized-frame rejection, and a SIGKILLed component
  whose host and already-spawned job survive.

Set persist-credentials: false on the checkout step.

The component-package job does not push to the repository. The checkout step still writes the GITHUB_TOKEN into .git/config. The later steps run cargo build and cargo test, which execute build scripts and test code from the repository and its dependencies. Those steps can read the token.

The artifact upload only covers dist/, so the token does not leak through the artifact today. Removing the persisted credential still follows least privilege and clears the zizmor artipacked warning.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Register the job gate before the supervisor thread can produce output or events.

registry.spawn(spec) starts the supervisor thread immediately. gates.insert(record.get(), job) runs only after a later registry.get call. During this window, JobGates::resolve finds no gate. At line 980, state.jobs.get(&record)? then returns None at once; the wait for publication never happens.

The two callers have different consequences:

  • ComponentOutputObserver::on_output (line 1015) silently drops the first Output chunks of a fast child.
  • monitor_events drops Started, CancelResolved, or Stopped frames. A missed Stopped frame is the worst case. The cursor advances past the event, so the host never receives Exit for that job. active.mark_exited never runs, so wait_until_idle spends the full SHUTDOWN_WAIT at shutdown.

The trigger is a fast spawn failure (missing program) or an immediate write by the child. The window is short, but it is real under load. The README ordering guarantee (output and Exit gated on Spawned) does not hold in this window.

The fix is to take the gate lock before registry.spawn and insert the gate before releasing it. A resolve caller then waits on the mutex until the gate exists. No deadlock is possible. registry.spawn never calls into JobGates. on_output runs outside the registry lock and outside the store lock. The monitor calls resolve only after events_since releases the registry lock.

Core half of #2494: the host client speaks execution component protocol v1, enforces the component bounds, maps Exit to the existing execution-job model, and keeps the linked bitty-execution registry as the default. A Preferred/Required gate and safe-mode denial are injectable through SpawnService; Preferred falls back only before a Spawn is submitted.

Depends on bitty-terminal/bitty-execution#19 (pin 0e6b68f). Parity tests cover spawn, stdout/stderr, exit status, timeout/cancel, crash, malformed and oversized frames, and shutdown.

VERDICT: NEEDS-FIX — independent security/protocol review (head 0e6b68f)

Scope: bitty-component.toml + descriptor parser, protocol v1 codec/server, packaging scripts, capability boundary, packed-binary behavior. No files modified; reviewed in the existing worktree.

Evidence run locally:

  • cargo test --workspace --locked, just check, just product, actionlint, cargo audit, gitleaks — green.
  • Built --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, ran scripts/package-component.sh / scripts/test-package-component.sh, then the live component_server suite with BITTY_EXECUTION_COMPONENT_BIN pointing at the extracted packed binary: 14/14 pass.
  • Packed digest matches the staged descriptor (96a2c665…), archive members are exactly bitty-component.toml + bitty-execution.
  • Hostile-descriptor matrix against the packed binary (placeholder, unknown key, duplicate key, ../ executable, inverted protocol, extra table, wrong version, missing key, 4097 bytes, non-UTF-8): 11/11 rejected; packaged record accepted.

Blocking findings

  1. Gate-registration race can drop Exit (and Started/Output/Canceled)
    src/component/server.rs:335-373 inserts the gate only after registry.spawn returns, but the supervisor thread is started inside spawn. JobGates::resolve (:973-995) returns None when the entry is absent instead of waiting, and monitor_events consumes the event without retry (:667-675). If the monitor polls between spawn and insert, a fast job's Stopped is consumed with no Exit frame, no active.mark_exited, no gates.remove — the host can wait forever. I could not reproduce it in 4,000 fast jobs under CPU contention, but there is no synchronization that excludes it; it is the same race as CodeRabbit's actionable comment. Fix: register the gate before the supervisor can emit, or make resolve wait for registration within GATE_WAIT; add a deterministic test (resolve before insert).

  2. Error.request is ambiguous between job ids and request ids
    handle_spawn / handle_terminate use the host job id as Error.request (src/component/server.rs:314, :330-340, :385-418), while ReadOutput uses its own request id (:435, :464). The schema (protocol.rs:45-53) says request ids are a separate non-zero namespace, so a host cannot tell whether request = 5 is a rejected Spawn job 5 or a rejected ReadOutput request 5. unknown_job_and_stale_generation_are_typed_errors bakes the ambiguity in. Fix before v1 is frozen: add request ids to Spawn/Terminate (preferred) or a distinct job field on Error, and update README/tests.

  3. README tells hosts to restart on ordinary request errors
    README.md:126-132: "Treat Error/EOF/exit-3 as component_lost, fail in-flight work, restart". Only request == 0, EOF, or exit 3 indicates connection loss; an unknown_job/invalid_request must fail only that request. As written, a conforming host restarts the component on every bad request. This is CodeRabbit's actionable comment and remains unaddressed.

  4. Packed-binary malformed-input coverage is thinner than claimed
    The live suite has only oversize (tests/component_server.rs:549) and pre-handshake (:673). Zero-length, truncated, trailing-byte and unknown-tag cases exist only as codec unit tests (protocol.rs:1934-1955). Add them to the live suite so the artifact the release ships is exercised, as storage/a11y already do.

  5. job_slots_are_bounded_by_the_shared_ceiling asserts nothing
    tests/component_server.rs:664-670 only starts and shuts down the component. I confirmed the ceiling is real in a probe (65th concurrent spawn → Error{kind: Budget, "job capacity reached"}), but the named test does not cover it. Add the real 65th-spawn assertion or remove the test and the claim.

  6. CI token persists during build/test
    The checkout steps (including component-package:61-62) lack persist-credentials: false; later cargo build/cargo test execute repository/dependency build scripts while GITHUB_TOKEN sits in .git/config. The workflow token is read-only, but this is a trivial hardening (CodeRabbit nit).

Non-blocking

  • WriterState.failed is never set (only checked), so post-EPIPE writes are retried; dead state (server.rs:1042-1103).
  • PR metadata lacks the v0.1.0 milestone and the standard Priority: … | Area: … | Milestone: … | RFC: … | Task: … line used by the sibling component PRs.
  • Host process-group cleanup after component loss remains Core work; the crash test deliberately proves children survive a component SIGKILL, which is consistent with the split but must stay tracked in the Core host-client task.

Verified sound

  • Descriptor parser is closed/fail-closed: identity, strict X.Y.Z, protocol [1,1], bitty-<name>, duplicate/unknown/trailing tables, oversize, non-UTF-8, placeholder digest. --check-manifest refuses the sentinel and accepts the packaged record.
  • Length prefix is validated from the 4-byte header before allocation; zero/oversize/truncated frames rejected; per-field and collection bounds enforced on encode and decode. No allocation bomb found.
  • Once the gate exists, Spawned precedes every job frame; Exit closes the writer and late output is rejected.
  • No file/argv/env/network surface beyond an explicit Spawn; PTY/interactive refused; no installer/download; capability grant, consent and safe mode are explicitly host-owned per AGENTS.md.
  • Packaging: exactly two archive members, real digest rendered, zero-digest sentinel enforced, stale/mixed archive rejected, SHA256SUMS/sidecars verified.

Review blockers addressed in fix commit b0ccb99 (head b0ccb99a20892d083e345dae073edd61162d8291).

  • Registered JobGates before supervisor thread start with cleanup on start failure; added deterministic pre-start and repeated fast-output/fast-failure coverage.
  • Kept protocol v1 framing/version unchanged and defined Error.request: 0 = connection-level, bit 63 set = job-correlated error carrying the job id, bit 63 clear/non-zero = ReadOutput request. Core #2533 must decode this namespace before pin compatibility.
  • Distinguished request-level errors from component loss in README.
  • Added packed-binary malformed-frame coverage, real 65th-spawn Budget coverage, and persist-credentials: false to all CI checkouts.

Local evidence: just product, just check, just component-package-test, packed-binary component_server (17/17), gitleaks, and cargo audit --no-yanked pass. just workflows actionlint passes; act -n reached job planning but external action clones hit transient unexpected EOF. No merge performed.

Correction to the validation summary: gitleaks detect --source . passed. cargo audit --no-yanked was attempted, but the advisory database refresh is currently blocked by a transient GitHub HTTPS unexpected-EOF/network failure; it is not claimed as locally verified in this environment. The code and lockfile were not changed.

src/component/server.rs:998-1017
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep publication gates pending until the Spawned frame is written.

When the host stops draining stdout, the Spawned write can stall before gates.publish. After five seconds, resolve returns None. The monitor then advances past Stopped without writing Exit, and the output observer drops output. A later write completion cannot recover either result.

Wait for publication instead of using GATE_WAIT. Keep the existing gates.stop() call after the bounded shutdown wait so teardown still wakes gate waiters and remains bounded by SHUTDOWN_WAIT and MONITOR_JOIN_WAIT.

Make the gate-order test deterministic.

The current test does not detect moving before_start after supervisor startup. The hook publishes the gate, and resolve runs only after spawn_with_hooks returns, so both orderings pass.

Moving publication after spawn_with_hooks matches handle_spawn, but event_head_seq() == 0 inside the hook is not sufficient. A reordered implementation can start the supervisor thread while the hook runs first, before the thread pushes Queued.

Use a test-only supervisor launcher or synchronization seam that makes the reordered path run the supervisor before the hook. Then assert that the event head is still zero in before_start. Publish the gate after spawn_with_hooks returns.

Follow-up for the latest CodeRabbit findings, fixed in a03bad27b22f1bb637b8892e826e881f80cbfb98:

  • Removed the GATE_WAIT expiry. Gate resolution now waits for publication or teardown; teardown wakes waiters, and an already-removed record returns without leaving a drain blocked.
  • Replaced the ineffective ordering test with a test-only synchronous launcher that executes the supervisor before the hook in the reordered scenario, then verifies the event head is already non-zero. Production retains registration before launcher invocation.

Validation after this follow-up: just product, just check, just component-package-test, and packed-binary component-server tests (17/17) pass. just workflows/act -n and cargo audit remain blocked on external GitHub network timeouts; actionlint and gitleaks pass. No merge performed.

Compatibility blocker addressed in 36404ab and pushed. Decision: protocol v2 only (descriptor [2,2], handshake negotiates v2); high-bit Error.request job correlation is intentionally incompatible with v1, and a v1-only handshake receives a connection-level protocol error and exits before accepting work. Added a live refusal test plus v2 descriptor, negotiation, and packed-artifact coverage. Core #2533 must negotiate v2 before pinning this component; no Core changes were made here.

Teardown P2 disposition: preserved bounded behavior and documented the unresolved resource lifetime precisely. After the 5 s job wait, a monitor blocked in an embedder writer may detach after the 2 s join bound with registry/gate/writer references until the write returns or peer closes. Registry drains may detach after their 5 s bound, retaining a bounded output-store reference until inherited pipes reach EOF; descendants retaining pipes can keep drains alive after leader exit. This remains a blocking risk for embedders, not claimed as solved.

Scoped checkout hardening added only to the review-named CodeQL and snapshot-source workflows; CI checkout was already hardened. Local product/workspace tests, just check, actionlint, package-shape, packed Linux live suite (18/18), and gitleaks pass. cargo audit advisory refresh was network-blocked. Not merging.

- Negotiate protocol v2 before sending work. Treat a v1-only refusal as an
incompatible component, not as a successful v1 connection.

Exclude v1-only refusals from automatic restart.

A v1-only Hello receives Error { request: 0, kind: protocol } and exit code 3. The restart rule at Lines 147-149 also matches that response. A host that follows the restart rule will retry an incompatible component without changing its offered protocol range. State that the host must stop retrying and report incompatibility for this handshake failure.

Core half of #2494: the host client speaks execution component protocol v1, enforces the component bounds, maps Exit to the existing execution-job model, and keeps the linked bitty-execution registry as the default. A Preferred/Required gate and safe-mode denial are injectable through SpawnService; Preferred falls back only before a Spawn is submitted.

Depends on bitty-terminal/bitty-execution#19 (pin 0e6b68f). Parity tests cover spawn, stdout/stderr, exit status, timeout/cancel, crash, malformed and oversized frames, and shutdown.

Guard tick verification: 12/12 checks pass, 0 fail on head 36404ab9; green since 04:37 UTC and stalled behind main. Core PR bitty-terminal/bitty#2533 pins exactly this revision (rev = "36404ab"), and its Extension pin drift gate fails because the pin is not reachable from upstream main. Merging with a merge commit (not squash) so 36404ab becomes an ancestor of main and the pin stays valid.
