fix(cli): report an unclean prior proxy exit instead of a silent outage - #2861
Conversation
A proxy killed by a native trap or SIGKILL never runs the exit cleanup that removes ocx.pid and runtime-port.json, so both records outlive it. That makes a crash distinguishable from a proxy that was never started, and status threw the distinction away: readPid() returns null for a dead pid and the report collapsed to "not running". In #1419 that was the whole user-visible outcome. An unsupervised `ocx gui` proxy died, the dashboard died with it because the same process served it, and nothing ever said a previous process had exited or that installing the service would have restarted it. Adds proxy.staleProcessState, threaded into both `ocx status` and `ocx doctor` through one shared decision helper so the two diagnostics cannot drift. The wording is cause-neutral on purpose: RuntimePortState records only pid, port, hostname and attestation, so the launch mode is unrecoverable and SIGKILL, power loss and a native trap leave identical evidence. Two false positives are excluded, because telling a user their healthy start crashed is worse than staying quiet. A start that publishes records mid-probe is caught by comparing raw records before and after the probes, the same snapshot discipline removePidIfValueIs uses for deletion. A start that has bound the port but not yet published leaves both snapshots identical, so that one is excluded on the port instead: only an unreachable health failure counts, meaning nothing accepted the connection. No watchdog. launchd KeepAlive, systemd Restart=on-failure and the Windows wrapper loop already supervise; a fourth in the CLI would duplicate them and add restart and port-ownership risk. Status and doctor stay read-only. Verification: tests/cli-status-json.test.ts 18 pass, tests/doctor.test.ts 52 pass, typecheck clean. Each guard clause was driven red by mutation, including reverting only the doctor caller while keeping the helper change, which fails the end-to-end test while every helper test stays green.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When stale records remain long enough for the OS to reuse their PID for any unrelated process, isProcessAlive(ownerPid) sets this flag and permanently suppresses the unclean-exit diagnosis even though no proxy owns the records. Both status and doctor construct ownerPidAlive this way; use the existing process-identity verification rather than treating every live process with the recycled PID as an in-progress proxy.

When only runtime-port.json survives and its recorded port differs from config.port—for example after an explicitly pinned start—this conditional discards the runtime record because there is no PID file, so doctor probes the unrelated configured port. A listener or timeout there suppresses a real stale-state report, while a refusal can misclassify a replacement already binding the recorded port; select the raw runtime record as the probe target even when ocx.pid is absent.

With stale records and a foreign TCP listener that accepts and immediately resets the connection or returns malformed HTTP, directLocalHttpFetch throws and proxyHealthFailureReason maps every non-timeout exception to "unreachable"; this predicate therefore treats the failure as proof that nothing accepted the connection and reports an unclean exit. Preserve a distinct connection-refused classification, or perform an explicit port-availability probe, before using this value as the false-positive guard.

This adds the required public proxy.staleProcessState field and new human status/doctor behavior, but the lifecycle CLI reference and its translated JSON examples still describe the old proxy shape and never explain the unclean-exit diagnosis. Update the user-facing reference and translations so operators and JSON consumers can discover and interpret the new field.

Make the stale-state branch reachable for stale PID records.
Lines 873 and 878 conflict. staleProcessState is true only when persisted ownership state remains, but a remaining ocx.pid makes status.json.proxy.pid truthy. The enclosing branch then skips the unclean-exit message and the recovery guidance for the primary stale-PID case.
Include status.json.proxy.staleProcessState in the proxy-down condition, or render these stale-state diagnostics outside that condition. Add a CLI regression test with a dead PID record and an unreachable port.

Independent review found the first cut claimed more than it could prove and tested less than it appeared to. The tests were vacuous where it mattered most: replacing the returned staleProcessState with a constant false left all 70 assertions green, because every case exercised the predicate in isolation and none drove the CLI. Adds command-level tests through `ocx status --json` and human output. That mutation now fails. `unreachable` was too broad for the question being asked. It covers every non-abort failure including a socket that is accepted and then reset, which is exactly what an in-flight bind looks like — review reproduced a stale verdict against a listener that accepted and reset. Only a connect-phase ECONNREFUSED now counts, read from the errno chain rather than a message substring. Status and doctor could reach opposite verdicts about the same disk state. After a fallback-port crash or a config port change, status probed the configured port while doctor probed the recorded one. Both now go through one gatherer that probes the port named by the stale record, since that is the only port that can answer whether the process which wrote the record is gone. The wording overclaimed. Shutdown cleanup ignores unlink failures and the records carry no session provenance, so a clean exit whose unlink failed is indistinguishable from a crash. "did not shut down cleanly" became "stale process records remain, so the previous run may have exited unexpectedly", and the duplicated service-install line is gone. Verification: tests/cli-status-json.test.ts 23 pass, tests/doctor.test.ts 52 pass, typecheck clean. Three mutations driven red — constant false, probing the configured port, and accepting any non-abort failure. The fallback-port test needed an occupied configured port to discriminate at all; with both ports free it passed against the wrong implementation, which is the same vacuity again one layer down.

Render the stale-state diagnostic for stale PID records.
staleProcessState requires a remaining PID or runtime record. A stale ocx.pid keeps status.json.proxy.pid truthy, so the enclosing conditional at Line 873 skips this new block. The end-to-end test in tests/cli-status-json.test.ts seeds ocx.pid and expects this text, but human ocx status cannot print it.
Include status.json.proxy.staleProcessState in the proxy-down condition, or render this diagnostic outside that condition.

Use isolated dead-PID and refused-port fixtures.
Lines 434 and 512 use PIDs 4242/4243. An unrelated live process can own either PID. isProcessAlive() then suppresses staleProcessState, so these tests fail.
Line 442 assumes port 9 is unbound. A listener on that port prevents ECONNREFUSED and also suppresses the expected result.
Create a terminated child process for the PID fixture. Allocate a loopback ephemeral port for the refused-port fixture, then release it before the CLI probe.

Port 9 is conventionally unused but not guaranteed. If anything answers on it the probe is accepted rather than refused, which silently inverts every fixture that depends on a refusal. Bind an ephemeral port, read it, release it. Raised as a non-blocking finding during review of #2861. tests/cli-status-json.test.ts 23 pass.

Reviewed exact head 978688d. The stale-record evidence path, refusal-only guard, recorded-port probe, and shared status/doctor decision are coherent; the focused CLI/doctor regressions pass 75/75 in an isolated HOME. One merge blocker remains: this adds required public proxy.staleProcessState output and new human status/doctor behavior, but docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md and its translated lifecycle references still show and describe the old JSON shape. Please document the field, its conservative meaning (records remained; the prior run may have exited unexpectedly), and the recovery guidance, then keep the locale examples consistent. The current CodeRabbit claim that a stale PID keeps the human branch unreachable is not reproducible: proxy.pid comes from identity/liveness-checked readPid(), so a dead raw pidfile produces null and the command-level regression passes.
