[CTX-1327] test(runtime): lock input-to-VM boundary (#2213) - #2215
Conversation
📝 Walkthrough
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to
|
Prove through the real application callback (`AppHandler::handle_event`) that the accepted input hot path performs zero owning-plugin-VM entries and that delivery is deferred to a distinct cold pump that runs exactly once. Adds an opt-in headless `EventContext` recording backend (bitty-platform), a read-only owning-VM entry counter and a `for_input_vm_regression()` constructor (bitty-runtime), and the finite regression (bitty-terminal). The app now drains Core-routed band clicks/scrolls on the cold tick (`deliver_band_input`, called from `drive_tick`) instead of inside the input callback, honoring P0-AC-015 / overview invariant 4. The new tests assert zero VM entries during input, exactly-once later delivery, a valid-command positive control, a fall-through control, and unchanged consumed-release semantics. Related #2213 - advances the issue's stated smallest next slice; the release-owner/security disposition the issue requires remains open, so this does not close it.

Independent review (separate agent, ctx1327-reviewer) — verdict on head c9b72ac (identical tree 47b12358; commit message amended since, tree unchanged):
VERDICT: NEEDS-FIX — the only finding was the Closes #2213 directive (commit trailer + PR body), which would auto-close issue #2213 on merge even though #2213 explicitly requires a release-owner/security disposition before P0-AC-015 may be called passed. Fixed before merge: the commit trailer and this PR body now say Related #2213; the issue stays open for owner disposition.
Everything else: PASS.
- Mechanism correct —
deliver_band_input(terminal_app.rs:1975-1980) drains both bounded queues once and routes each item through the pre-existingdispatch_band_click/dispatch_band_scrollfail-closed paths. - Input path is VM-free — the only app-side drain calls are inside
deliver_band_input; no drain/dispatch remains insidehandle_event(terminal_app.rs:2863 comment), confirmed by repo-wide grep. - Cold-pump wiring correct —
deliver_band_input()is called fromdrive_tick(terminal_app.rs:1282). - Tests assert exactly what the PR claims — tests.rs:345-379 covers zero VM entry during input, exactly-once later delivery (second pump replays nothing), valid-command positive control, fall-through control, unchanged consumed-release semantics.
- Regression risk: LOW. No caller/test other than the new cold pump consumes the band queues from the application input path; runtime-level tests call the drain methods directly and are unaffected. Added latency is at most one cold tick, and band input is now batched in queue order (clicks before scrolls).

Deliver band input before plugin request drains.
deliver_band_input runs after the workspace, pin, FX, theme, and submit drains. A band command can enqueue one of those deferred requests, but the current tick has already drained that queue. AboutToWait does not wake on these queues, so the request can remain pending until unrelated activity wakes another tick.
Restore the previous ordering while keeping VM dispatch off the input path:

Independent review verdict — APPROVE
Reviewer: guard re-review subagent (separate agent, dispatched from the blitz guard tick).
Reviewed head: 0aeb00e4d1609d55b4b81c0c2c3a9224c2ef1161 (supersedes the earlier NEEDS-FIX verdict on c9b72ac4).
Prior NEEDS-FIX finding — resolved:
- The
Closes #2213trailer is gone. Commit trailer now reads: "Related #2213 - advances the issue's stated smallest next slice; the release-owner/security disposition the issue requires remains open, so this does not close it." PR body mirrors this. Issue #2213 therefore stays open for the owner disposition.

CI at review time: all checks pass except Linux Wayland = pending (rerun of the flaky soak_headless_1000_ticks_bounded_and_deterministic, 121.5s vs 120s budget — timing flake, not a regression). mergeable=true.
Verdict: APPROVE (code + tests correct; only outstanding item was the pending flake rerun).
What the regression proves
A finite, opt-in regression drives the real application input callback
(
<TerminalApp as AppHandler>::handle_event) with an in-memory, headlessEventContextand a read-only owning-VM entry counter, pinning theP0-AC-015 / overview invariant 4 boundary that issue #2213 flags:
release and an accepted bound band wheel route into the runtime's bounded
queues without entering the owning plugin VM.
(
TerminalApp::deliver_band_input, now called fromdrive_tick) entersthe VM exactly once; a second pump replays nothing.
dispatch_commandstill enters theVM once and returns its bounded result.
reach terminal input/viewport with zero VM entries and queue nothing.
on press, clears on release, routes once, and leaves PTY/selection/focus/
IME state unchanged.
Change
handle_eventpreviously draineddrain_band_clicks()/drain_band_scrolls()and dispatched to the owning VM synchronously (
terminal_app.rs:2832/:2840).It now only enqueues; the deferred dispatch runs on the cold tick
(
deliver_band_inputfromdrive_tick), matching the other cold-pathdeliveries that already honor P0-AC-015 (timers, overlay events, runtime
events, submit requests).
Infrastructure added, all default-off behind
input-vm-test-support:an in-memory
EventContextrecording backend (bitty-platform), a read-onlyowning-VM entry counter +
for_input_vm_regression()constructor(bitty-runtime), and the finite regression (bitty-terminal). Release builds
are unaffected.
