From fdbd1d5650c33c91af4b3703fd89e7a6d2ea43c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Wang <2571039+zachgenius@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 18:49:40 +1000 Subject: [PATCH 01/27] xref: lift MOV-source classifier into testable parser helper (phase 4 item 5) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Move MovSrcKind + classify_mov_source from lldb_backend.cpp's anonymous namespace to xref_arm64_parsers so unit tests can pin the alias-name- first match order without a live LLDB target. The prior implementation worked by accident — `lr` / `xzr` / `wzr` happened to land in the right switch arm via fall-through, but a future refactor that touched the prefix-check could silently regress. Phase 4 item 5 from docs/35-field-report-followups.md §3: token-compare against the alias spellings BEFORE any prefix heuristic. New unit tests pin classify_mov_source's behaviour for the zero (xzr/wzr/#0), stack pointer (sp/wsp), link register (lr), xN/wN width-distinguishing, and malformed-input arms. No behaviour change against existing fixtures — the lifted function is byte-identical to the previous in-place implementation.

That is race-free only because phase 1 is strictly one connection at a time — no other sink is alive to receive a notification belonging to a different connection. Phase 2 needs to accept multiple concurrent connections, which breaks the single-sink design: connection A's stop event would either route to connection B's OutputChannel (after B's accept re-pointed the sink), or vanish (after A's disconnect cleared it but before B's accept). Either outcome corrupts the JSON-RPC stream that every client sees. NonStopRuntime now owns a subscriber SET, guarded by `sinks_mu_`. Each connection that wants notifications calls `add_notification_sink` on accept and `remove_notification_sink` on disconnect. emit_stopped_ snapshots the subscriber list under a shared lock, drops the lock, then fans the notification out — so a slow sink (one whose OutputChannel's mutex is contended) doesn't stall the other subscribers' deliveries. `set_notification_sink(sink)` is kept as a back-compat shim with new "replace the entire subscriber set with this one" semantics. Stdio mode (main.cpp) still calls it once at startup and gets the same behaviour as before. Phase-2 socket_loop.cpp migrates to add/remove so multiple connections coexist without disturbing one another. The runtime's single emit funnel point (set_stopped → emit_stopped_) is the only call site for thread.event notifications in the daemon today; the NonStopListener forwards parsed RSP stop replies through runtime.set_stopped, and probe / breakpoint events use no separate emission path. The subscriber set therefore covers every async notification the dispatcher fires. Tests: - New unit cases in `tests/unit/test_nonstop_runtime.cpp` pin the fan-out, the remove behaviour, and the set/clear back-compat semantics. All four failed-as-expected before the implementation and pass after. - The existing `set_notification_sink` callers in test_nonstop_listener and test_dispatcher_nonstop still work — the new "replace all" semantics match what those tests assume (one sink, no others).

An agent script wanting to fire two `ldb` invocations in parallel against the same daemon had to serialise them externally, or each call paid the spawn cost. This commit accepts a connection, spawns a std::thread per connection that owns its fd for its entire lifetime, and the main thread goes straight back to accept(). The Dispatcher is shared; concurrent RPC service is serialised through its new `dispatch_mu_` outer lock. Concurrency audit (recorded for the next reviewer): - `LldbBackend::Impl::mu` already guards every public method's SBAPI access. Every public LldbBackend method acquires it; nothing changed in this commit. The phase-3 chained-fixups branch's drop-mu-during-file-IO pattern still holds. - `ProbeOrchestrator` has its own `mu_`. Every public method takes it; callback paths re-acquire when re-entering the orchestrator. - `SessionStore` and `ArtifactStore` each have their own internal mutex around sqlite access (single-writer assumption preserved by WAL). - `NonStopRuntime` has its own per-instance shared_mutex (state map) and the subscriber set lock added in the prereq commit. - `Dispatcher`'s OWN mutable state — target_main_module_, diff_cache_ + diff_cache_index_, cost_samples_, python_unwinders_, rsp_channels_, active_session_writer_, active_session_id_ — was NOT thread-safe. `dispatch_mu_` covers all of it under one outer lock for the duration of every dispatch() call. Strategy: serialise via dispatch_mu_ around the entire dispatch lifetime. Correct, dumb, and low-throughput in the multi-client case (one RPC at a time across all connections). Per-target sharding is the natural phase-3 refinement; the dispatcher's mutable state would have to migrate to a per-target map first. Documented in `dispatcher.h`. Shutdown sequence: signal handler sets g_shutdown; accept() returns EINTR; the main loop notices the flag and exits the accept loop. On the way out we join every outstanding worker thread. In-flight RPCs run to completion (LldbBackend's SBAPI calls aren't interruptible from outside); a separate item in §2 phase-2 plans a self-pipe + poll() refinement for finer-grained cancellation. Tests: - New `tests/smoke/test_socket_multiclient.py`: two Python threads each open a socket, run `target.open` (with its module list as a side effect — see handle_target_open), sync on a barrier, then run `module.list`. The barrier times out at 10s; phase-1 serial service would deadlock there because the second connection's accept() blocks until the first disconnects. - Failed against the pre-fix daemon (barrier timeout, observed in the RED ctest run). Passes after the thread-per-connection refactor. - All existing socket tests (lifecycle, collision, perms) still pass.

Conditional branches (b.cond / cbz / cbnz / tbz / tbnz) whose target sits in a different function are tail-call-like handoffs; on the symbolized side, gate 1's function_name_at check catches the leak when the scanner steps into the target function, but on the stripped side gate 1 silently misses it (both adjacent functions return "" from function_name_at). Implement option (b) from docs/35-field-report-followups.md §3 phase 4: parse the conditional's target operand inline (LLDB renders it as `0xNNNNNNN`), resolve to a function name, and reset adrp_regs when that name differs from the current function. Skip the parse when adrp_regs is empty (the function_name_at call dominates cost; mirrors gate 1's same optimisation). Bump a new provenance.adrp_pair_cond_branch_reset counter so callers can see when the heuristic conservatively dropped tracking — in stripped binaries this is the only signal. Provenance schema additions (forward-compatible): - adrp_pair_cond_branch_reset (item 1) - adrp_pair_function_start_reset (item 3 — wired in a subsequent commit) - adrp_pair_unresolvable_load (item 4 — wired in a subsequent commit) The two not-yet-populated counters are exposed on the wire now so the dispatcher's serialisation path doesn't need a second pass when later commits populate them. TDD: tests/fixtures/asm/xref_condbranch.s + test_xref_condbranch.py. The fixture is symbolized so gate 1 also covers the leak, but the test pins provenance.adrp_pair_cond_branch_reset > 0 to prove the new path fired — a future refactor that silently deletes the path would flip the assertion red. ctest: 10/10 xref smoke tests pass.

When LLDB loaded the arm64 slice of a FAT binary that ALSO had an arm64e slice, the picker still returned the arm64e map — different image_base, zero matches in xref_address. Phase 4 item 2 closes the loop: extract_chained_fixups_from_macho() gains an optional std::string_view triple parameter. The dispatcher calls SBTarget::GetTriple() and passes it through; the FAT picker classifies the triple ("arm64e-" / "arm64-" / "x86_64-") into the preferred (cpu_type, cpu_subtype) pair and tries the matching slice first. Falls back to the phase-3 preference order when: - triple is empty (existing callers haven't been migrated yet) - triple names an unknown arch - the matching slice exists but has no chained fixups This keeps the existing behaviour for any caller that doesn't yet plumb the triple through; new callers see exact-match selection. ARM64_ALL (subtype 0) match also accepts ARM64_V8 (subtype 1) — the LLDB triple "arm64-" can map to either subtype depending on the slice the linker tagged. Skip when the triple demanded arm64e (V8 is not arm64e). TDD: 4 new unit tests under [chained_fixups][macho][fat][triple] in tests/unit/test_chained_fixups.cpp pin: arm64 triple picks arm64 slice (image_base proves it), arm64e triple picks arm64e slice, empty triple falls back to phase-3 default, missing-matching-slice falls back too. 15/15 [chained_fixups] tests pass; 10/10 xref smoke tests still green.

For shell scripts that want the persistent-state property without the ceremony of managing the daemon lifecycle by hand, the obvious ergonomic ask is "just start one if it isn't running." `_SocketProc` now detects the ECONNREFUSED / ENOENT / ENXIO subset of connect() failures, fork+execs `ldbd --listen unix:PATH` with `start_new_session=True` (setsid), waits up to ~3s for the socket to start accepting, and retries the connect. The auto-spawned daemon outlives the client process so the next CLI invocation reuses it without re-spawning. The ldbd binary is resolved through a three-step search: 1. $LDB_LDBD_SPAWN — explicit override; tests use this to pin the build's ldbd binary without depending on $PATH discovery. 2. shutil.which("ldbd") — global install. 3. _find_ldbd_sibling() — the in-tree heuristic that the §1 sibling-lookup commit established for `--ldbd`. stdin/stdout/stderr are ALL redirected to /dev/null in the daemon. The earlier sketch (which inherited the client's stderr to preserve diagnostics) caused a subtle test-runner hang: when a caller wrapped `ldb --socket ...` with subprocess.run capture_output=True, the daemon inherited the captured stderr pipe and held it open across the client's exit — the wrapper never saw EOF and blocked indefinitely. Operators who want the diagnostics now set $LDB_LDBD_LOG_FILE; the spawn redirects stderr to that path instead. Help text updated to document the auto-spawn flow. Tests: - New `tests/smoke/test_socket_autospawn.py`: * Picks a fresh tempdir socket path; no daemon running. * Invokes `ldb --socket $path target.open ...`. Asserts rc=0 and a valid target_id. * Invokes a second `ldb --socket $path module.list target_id=$N`. Asserts rc=0 — proves the daemon persisted. * Kills the daemon by pid recovered from $sock.lock; asserts socket inode unlinked. - Failed RED before the implementation (the daemon never spawned; the test's `expect(rc == 0)` tripped immediately). Passes after. - The four existing socket tests still pass.

On a stripped Mach-O without LC_SYMTAB local symbols, function_name_at would return "" for adjacent functions and gate 1 silently treats them as one — adrp_regs leaks across. (On macOS / Apple-silicon, LLDB synthesises ___lldb_unnamed_symbol_ per-address names so gate 1 still works; the leak fires on platforms where LLDB doesn't synthesise OR when the bytes between two functions look like raw code with no function-context lookup hit. Real WeChat-class iOS binaries have hit this pattern in the field.) Phase 4 item 3 records every B / BL / conditional-branch target inside the current code section as a function-start hint. The check fires BEFORE gate 1: when the scanner reaches an instruction whose address is in the function_starts set, adrp_regs is reset and the new provenance.adrp_pair_function_start_reset counter bumps. The two paths are complementary — either is sufficient, the union is the discriminating signal. Lift the hex-token parser used by the cbz-target check (item 1) into a shared lambda parse_last_hex_in_operands so both paths use the same logic. Single-pass / forward-only: a branch at file_addr X to target Y only takes effect for Y > X (the common case in compiler-emitted code; backward-only-reached functions still miss). TDD fixture: tests/fixtures/asm/xref_stripped_fnleak.s — two adjacent non-globl functions linked through `bl`, with `strip -x` applied post-link to remove the local function symbols. x19 (callee-saved per AAPCS64) holds an ADRP page across the BL so phase 3's caller-saved clear can't mask the leak. The smoke test asserts zero false-positive matches; documents that on macOS gate 1's synthesised names also cover the boundary, so the test doesn't strictly require the function_start_reset path to fire (correctness is what matters). Bumps the worktree's smoke-test count from 82 to 83. ctest 100% green.

SIGTERM mid-accept must wake the listener within milliseconds. Phase-1 polled g_shutdown only between connections; a daemon idle in accept() saw EINTR on signal and exited, but only by accident — bare accept() returned EINTR and the loop's flag check fired on the next iteration. Adding poll() with non-blocking accept() makes that explicit and gives us a second wakeable fd for #6 below. 6. `daemon.shutdown` RPC: a connected client can ask the daemon to exit cleanly. The handler returns `{ok:true}` and triggers the same wake mechanism that SIGTERM uses, so an orchestrator can drain the daemon without spawning a "kill by pid" step. The shared mechanism is a self-pipe. Both ends are CLOEXEC and non-blocking. The signal handler writes a byte (write(2) is async-signal-safe per POSIX); the daemon.shutdown callback writes the same byte from the worker thread. The main accept loop's poll() monitors srv + pipe[0]; on POLLIN of pipe[0] it drains the pipe (non-blocking read, so the drain terminates with EAGAIN once empty — the prior blocking-read attempt deadlocked here, only discovered by tracing the daemon.shutdown test failure) and checks g_shutdown. Bug found while writing this: the read-end of the self-pipe must also be O_NONBLOCK, not just the write end. The drain loop reads in a loop until read() returns ≤ 0; with a blocking read end, the SECOND iteration (pipe empty after consuming the wake byte) blocks forever. The non-blocking flag makes it return EAGAIN instead. Scope clarification (per docs §2 "in-flight RPC interruption"): this commit only stops accepting new RPCs immediately and lets the currently-executing dispatch run to completion. Cancelling an in-flight LldbBackend SBAPI call from outside is genuinely impossible against the LLDB ABI; the test `test_socket_interruption.py` documents that scope by closing the client socket so the worker sees EOF cleanly. The shutdown callback is wired only in listen mode; stdio mode's `daemon.shutdown` returns -32002 with a "use stdin EOF or SIGTERM" message. describe.endpoints catalog grew one entry for `daemon.shutdown`. Schema is trivial (no params; returns `{ok: bool}`). Tests: - New `tests/smoke/test_daemon_shutdown_rpc.py`: connects, sends daemon.shutdown, verifies ok=true reply, closes client, asserts daemon exits within 10s with rc=0 and the socket/lockfile gone. - New `tests/smoke/test_socket_interruption.py`: connects, completes one describe.endpoints call, sends SIGTERM to the daemon, closes the client, asserts daemon exits within 5s with rc=0. Pre-fix daemon hung in the accept loop until the signal arrived AND a new connection event happened (or the bare accept's EINTR fired) — the poll-based path makes it deterministic. - All five prior socket tests still pass.

Phase 4 item 4 extends the family: PC-relative literal loads (`ldr xN, #imm` / `ldr xN, 0xNNNN`) bypass the ADRP+pair pattern entirely — they load the slot's value via PC-relative addressing, not through a register the scanner tracked. The literal-pool slot might hold a pointer to a string or constant in __TEXT/__cstring or __DATA_CONST. The scanner can't statically dereference it (would need to re-read the segment data at file_addr + pcrel_imm). Phase 4 bumps the new adrp_pair_unresolvable_load counter so callers see this happened, instead of the load silently disappearing. Detection shape: in the "memop didn't match resolve_adrp_consumer" fallback, after the existing `[xN, ...]` register-offset branch, check for an immediate-shaped operand (`#imm` / `0xNNN` / `-imm`). Only `ldr` / `ldrsw` produce literal-pool loads on arm64 — stores and short loads use different addressing modes. The new counter (and the matching adrp_pair_function_start_reset for item 3) is exposed on the wire by the dispatcher path that already serialises the other adrp_pair_* fields. TDD: tests/fixtures/asm/xref_pcrel_literal.s — `ldr x0, _pcrel_const` where _pcrel_const is a quad inside __TEXT/__text. The smoke test asserts provenance.adrp_pair_unresolvable_load >= 1. xref.addr against `_pcrel_data` returns 0 matches today (the heuristic gives up on the literal); the counter is the contract that surfaces this to the caller. 12/12 xref smoke tests pass.

The parse / walk itself spans: - dyld_chained_fixups_header::imports_offset / imports_count / imports_format (three formats: DYLD_CHAINED_IMPORT, _IMPORT_ADDEND, _IMPORT_ADDEND64) - Indexing into the imports table by the bind's ordinal field (24-bit or wider depending on format) - String-table lookup via name_offset into the symbols region - Optional SBTarget::FindSymbols(name) for resolved_addr when a process is loaded That's ~150 LOC of byte-level parsing across three import formats. To keep this branch tight, ship only the schema additions: - new BindInfo struct: name, addend, ordinal, resolved_addr (opt). - new ChainedFixupMap::binds map: rva → BindInfo, populated by the phase-5 walk; today's parser leaves it empty for every fixture. Three new unit tests pin the schema: - BindInfo default-constructible with empty fields - ChainedFixupMap.binds empty by default - parse_chained_fixups leaves binds empty on a rebase-only payload The phase-5 commit that wires the walk in will populate binds for test vectors that carry imports_count > 0 and flip the third assertion. Today's 18/18 [chained_fixups] tests pass.

Otherwise every interactive session leaves a lingering ldbd, and the operator has to clean it up by hand. `--listen-idle-timeout N` gates the daemon's shutdown on the accept-loop's poll() returning 0 (timeout elapsed) AND a "no live workers" check. Both conditions are necessary: a long-lived agent session might idle on a connected socket for >N seconds while the user thinks; pulling the daemon down would surface as a mysterious disconnect. Implementation: - New static atomic `g_live_workers` tracks the count of running per-connection worker threads. The accept loop increments BEFORE std::thread construction (so a poll wake-up that races with this spawn can't observe zero workers); the worker decrements on exit. - `poll()` takes `idle_timeout_sec * 1000ms` as its timeout argument when `idle_timeout > 0 && live_workers == 0`, otherwise -1 (block forever). On `poll()` returning 0 the loop rechecks live_workers (catching the case where a worker emerged during the gap) and, if still zero, sets g_shutdown and breaks. The existing teardown path (close listener, unlink socket + lockfile, join workers) runs unchanged. - Workers write a wake byte to the self-pipe when they exit so the accept loop re-evaluates the timeout. Linux's poll resets the timeout per-call but macOS's preserves it across spurious returns; the explicit wake makes the behaviour uniform without depending on the platform's poll semantics. Tests: - New `tests/smoke/test_socket_idle_timeout.py`: starts `ldbd --listen-idle-timeout 2 --listen ...`, waits 8s with no clients, asserts the daemon exited rc=0 and the socket/lockfile are gone. Pre-fix daemon (no idle timeout) hangs in poll() forever; the test would time out at 30s. - All six prior socket tests still pass. `ldbd --help` text grew a paragraph documenting the flag.

Add tests/fixtures/c/real_world_xref.c: 1. static const char *const k_string_table[3]: selref-style ADRP+LDR through a __DATA_CONST chained-fixup slot. 2. Multiple functions in one TU exercising function-boundary reset (RET-clear + name-based + function_starts). 3. Conditional-branch tail-call (`if (which == 0) return real_xref_pick(0); return k_string_table[which];`) — proves phase 4 item 1's cross-function reset doesn't eat the legitimate same-function fall-through xref. 4. extern malloc / free imports — exercises the chained-fixup binds path (BindInfo schema; resolution is phase 5). Build: -arch arm64 -O1 -Wl,-fixup_chains so the linker emits LC_DYLD_CHAINED_FIXUPS with __DATA_CONST rebases for the string table. Apple-silicon-arm64 only. Smoke test asserts: - Every entry in k_string_table[] surfaces at least one xref instruction via string.xref (slot-indirection path live). - A non-pointer literal (0x1122334455667788) surfaces zero matches (false-positive density on a 4-function TU is the noise-floor metric). Spot-check against /usr/bin/uname (host-dependent, not automated): triple = arm64e-apple-macosx26.3.0; FAT slice picker (item 2) selected arm64e correctly. 8 sampled strings each returned 1 xref with empty provenance — no skips, no warnings, no false positives. Documented as a manual probe; not a CI assertion because the binary changes across macOS versions. ctest: 84/84 (was 83) all green.

The smoke asserts zero false-positive matches — + correctness is what matters, not whether the new path or gate 1 + fired first.

Lifted into a shared lambda `parse_last_hex_in_operands` + inside `xref_address`'s code-section visit closure rather than + a free helper, because it captures `i.operands` semantics that + are tightly coupled to LLDB's renderer; a unit-test-level shim + would have a different surface anyway. + +**Surprises / blockers:** + +- **Worktree path confusion.** Initial commits landed on the + main repo's `phase4-xref-improvements` branch instead of the + worktree's `worktree-agent-aafdfeffce7bd4058` branch.

The multi- client commit's std::mutex deadlocked there; the ctest smoke_session_replay run pinned this within seconds. std::recursive_mutex restores correctness without losing the cross-thread serialisation property. Same-thread re-entry is now free; cross-thread overlap still queues at the lock. The overhead per-acquisition vs std::mutex is negligible compared to the work inside any real RPC. Also folds in: - `docs/35-field-report-followups.md §2`: "Phase 2 — what shipped" subsection records the six items that landed (multi-subscriber sinks, multi-client listener, auto-spawn, signal-driven wakeup, daemon.shutdown, idle timeout) with the concurrency audit notes. "Phase 3 — carried forward" enumerates the deferred items (token auth, per-target dispatcher sharding, true in-flight cancellation, worker reaping mid-flight, TLS, single-client RPC multiplexing). - `docs/WORKLOG.md`: new dated entry summarising the goals, per-commit deliverables, key decisions, surprises (the capture_output / stderr-inheritance hang; both-ends-non-blocking for the self-pipe; phase4-xref-improvements worktree contamination), and verification.

Each connection registers its own + `NotificationSink` via `add_notification_sink` and drops it on + disconnect via `remove_notification_sink`. The pre-phase-2 + single-atomic-sink-pointer design was race-free only because + phase-1 allowed at most one connection alive at a time; the + subscriber set lets every live connection's `OutputChannel` + receive every async notification without cross-talk. The + legacy `set_notification_sink(sink)` API survives as a + clear-then-add shim for stdio mode. + +2. **Multi-client socket listener.** `socket_loop.cpp`'s accept + loop now spawns a `std::thread` per accepted connection. The + shared `Dispatcher` serialises overlapping RPC service through + a new `dispatch_mu_` outer mutex (acquired for the entire + `dispatch()` lifetime). Documented concurrency audit: + - `LldbBackend::Impl::mu` (existing): every public method + takes it; phase-3 chained-fixups branch's mu-drop-during- + file-IO pattern stays intact. + - `ProbeOrchestrator::mu_` (existing): every public method + takes it; callback paths re-acquire on re-entry. + - `SessionStore`, `ArtifactStore`: each has its own internal + mutex around sqlite. Single-writer assumption preserved + by WAL. + - `NonStopRuntime`: state-map shared_mutex + the new + subscriber-set shared_mutex. + - `Dispatcher`'s own mutable state (target_main_module_, + diff_cache_, cost_samples_, python_unwinders_, + rsp_channels_, active_session_writer_) — NOT thread-safe, + now covered by `dispatch_mu_`. Phase-3 refinement could + shard by target_id; not done here because the dispatcher + state would need to migrate to a per-target map first. + +3. **Client-side auto-spawn.** `tools/ldb/ldb` detects + ECONNREFUSED / ENOENT / ENXIO on the unix-socket connect() + and `fork+exec`s `ldbd --listen unix:PATH` detached + (`start_new_session=True` ⇒ setsid; stdin/stdout/stderr all + redirected to /dev/null to avoid pipe-inheritance hangs in + wrappers that capture_output the CLI; `LDB_LDBD_LOG_FILE` + redirects stderr instead for operators who want diagnostics). + Spawned daemon outlives the client. Resolution order for the + ldbd binary: `$LDB_LDBD_SPAWN` → `shutil.which("ldbd")` → + sibling-of-`ldb` heuristic. + +4. **Signal-driven accept-loop wakeup.** A self-pipe + (`g_shutdown_pipe`) replaces the bare `accept()` with + `poll(srv, pipe)`. The signal handler writes a byte (write(2) + is async-signal-safe); the accept loop wakes on POLLIN, + drains the pipe (both ends are `O_NONBLOCK` so the drain + loop terminates with EAGAIN), and checks `g_shutdown`. + Documented scope: shutdown stops accepting new RPCs + immediately but lets the currently-executing dispatch run to + completion — interrupting an in-flight LldbBackend SBAPI + call from outside is genuinely impossible against the LLDB + ABI. + +5. **`--listen-idle-timeout N`.** Opt-in shutdown when no + workers are alive and no new connection arrives within N + seconds. The accept loop's `poll()` timeout becomes + `N * 1000ms` when `live_workers == 0`; on `poll() == 0`, the + loop rechecks live_workers (closing the race where a worker + raced in during the gap) and, if still zero, exits cleanly. + A new atomic `g_live_workers` is bumped before + `std::thread` construction and decremented on worker exit; + workers write a wake byte to the self-pipe on exit so the + accept loop re-evaluates the timeout on platforms where + `poll`'s deadline survives spurious wakes. + +6. **`daemon.shutdown` RPC.** Dispatcher endpoint that invokes + a callback wired by `socket_loop.cpp` (sets `g_shutdown` + + writes to self-pipe). Returns -32002 with a "not supported + in this mode" message when run under `--stdio` (no + callback). Listed in `describe.endpoints`. The reply + (`{ok:true}`) is sent first; the accept loop's poll wakes + on the next byte from the self-pipe. + +### Phase 3 — carried forward + +Items deferred from the phase-2 work, in roughly priority order: + +- **Token auth for shared-uid environments.** Phase-1's trust + model (above) excludes shared-uid hosts. Phase-3 sketch: + daemon writes a one-shot bearer to `${PATH}.token` (mode + 0600) at startup; the client reads it and presents it on the + first frame; daemon rejects connections that don't present + it. The token rotates on restart. +- **Per-target dispatcher sharding.** Phase-2 serialises all + dispatch through `dispatch_mu_`. The dispatcher's per-target + mutable state (target_main_module_, the diff cache keyed by + snapshot, the cost-samples ring) would migrate to a per-target + map under a per-target mutex; the truly-global pieces + (active_session_writer_, recipe loader bookkeeping) stay + under the outer mutex. Phase-3 problem, not phase-2: today's + workloads don't appear to spend significant time contended on + `dispatch_mu_`. +- **True in-flight RPC cancellation.** Phase-2 stops accepting + new RPCs on shutdown but waits for in-flight workers to + finish their current dispatch. LLDB SBAPI calls aren't + externally interruptible against the binary ABI; a real + cancellation story would require an `SBHostInterrupt`-style + shim plus dispatcher-side cooperation. Out of scope for + socket-daemon work; tracked separately. +- **Worker reaping mid-flight.** Today the worker thread list + grows for the daemon's lifetime; phase-2 only joins on + shutdown. A long-lived daemon servicing many short-lived + connections accumulates `std::thread` state until exit. + Negligible at realistic session counts (~24 bytes per + entry) but a 20-line refactor away if it ever matters: each + worker posts its `thread::id` into a `done_ids` deque under + `done_mu` before returning; the main loop's idle paths join + + erase any threads in that list. Sketch left in + `socket_loop.cpp`'s `reap_finished_workers` lambda. +- **TLS / cross-host transports.** Out of scope for socket- + daemon; the existing `--ssh` knob plus the socket path + inside the SSH tunnel covers the practical cross-host + story. +- **Connection multiplexing within a single client.** One + client opening N parallel RPCs over one socket is a phase-3 + story that requires both ID-tagged request/response routing + and a per-channel dispatcher state model.

The shared `Dispatcher` serialises + overlapping RPC service through a new outer `dispatch_mu_` + acquired for the entire `dispatch()` lifetime.

Concurrency audit committed inline in + `dispatcher.h` and the docs file. + +- Commit `3fc62e1` (auto-spawn): `tools/ldb/ldb`'s `_SocketProc` + detects ECONNREFUSED / ENOENT / ENXIO and fork+execs + `ldbd --listen unix:PATH` detached (`start_new_session=True` = + setsid). stdin/stdout/stderr ALL go to /dev/null; + `$LDB_LDBD_LOG_FILE` opts the operator into stderr capture. + Resolution order for the binary: `$LDB_LDBD_SPAWN`, + `shutil.which("ldbd")`, in-tree sibling. New + `tests/smoke/test_socket_autospawn.py` covers the + no-daemon-pre-test path and the daemon-reuse path. Help text + updated. + +- Commit `72785ff` (daemon.shutdown + signal wake-up): self-pipe + pattern. Signal handler writes a byte (async-signal-safe); + daemon.shutdown's callback (wired by the listener via + `Dispatcher::set_shutdown_callback`) writes the same byte from + the worker thread. The accept loop's poll() monitors srv + the + self-pipe read end; on POLLIN of the pipe we drain (non-blocking + reads, so the loop terminates with EAGAIN once empty) and check + `g_shutdown`. New describe.endpoints entry for daemon.shutdown. + Two new smoke tests: `test_daemon_shutdown_rpc.py` and + `test_socket_interruption.py`. + +- Commit `ac655ec` (idle timeout): `--listen-idle-timeout N`. Atomic + `g_live_workers` counter bumped before std::thread construction + and decremented on worker exit. poll() takes N*1000ms when + `live_workers == 0`; on timeout the loop rechecks the counter + (closing the race where a worker raced in during the gap) and + exits cleanly. Workers write a wake byte on exit so the loop + re-evaluates the timeout (Linux poll resets the deadline per + call, macOS preserves it; the explicit wake makes the + behaviour uniform). New `tests/smoke/test_socket_idle_timeout.py`. + +- This commit: `docs/35-field-report-followups.md §2` "Phase 2 — + what shipped" subsection records what landed; a "Phase 3 — + carried forward" subsection records the deferred items (token + auth, per-target dispatcher sharding, true in-flight RPC + cancellation, worker reaping mid-flight, TLS, single-client + RPC multiplexing). + +**Decisions:** + +- **Subscriber set, not target-id routing.** The brief proposed + routing by target_id; the simpler equivalent is "every live + connection subscribes to every notification." That covers all + the documented use cases (`thread.event`, probe callbacks, + breakpoint hits) without a routing-key plumbing layer between + the runtime and the connection. Per-target routing can land on + top of the subscriber set later if a future caller wants + narrower scope — at that point it's a notification-router layer + over the runtime, not inside it. + +- **Single outer dispatch mutex.** Per-target sharding would be + more parallel but requires the dispatcher's own mutable state + (target_main_module_, diff_cache_, cost_samples_, + python_unwinders_, rsp_channels_, active_session_writer_) to + migrate to per-target maps first. The brief explicitly called + this out as a phase-3 refinement and pre-described the + "serialise via the dispatcher's outer mutex" approach as + acceptable phase-2 scope. Concurrency audit recorded in + dispatcher.h and the docs. + +- **Auto-spawn stderr to /dev/null, not inherited.** The original + sketch inherited the client's stderr "for operator diagnostics" + but broke any caller that wrapped `ldb` in `subprocess.run + capture_output=True` — the daemon kept the captured pipe alive + past the CLI's exit and the wrapper hung forever on a read + that never saw EOF. The smoke test caught this immediately. + `$LDB_LDBD_LOG_FILE` is the opt-in for diagnostics. + +- **Non-blocking BOTH ends of the self-pipe.** Write end so the + signal handler can't deadlock (multiple coalesced signals); read + end so the drain loop terminates with EAGAIN instead of blocking + on the empty pipe after consuming the single wake-up byte. This + one bit me: the daemon.shutdown test failed for a frustrating + 20 minutes before I realised the read end was still blocking. + +- **Phase-2 scope on RPC interruption.** Stops accepting new RPCs + immediately, lets the currently-executing dispatch run to + completion. LLDB SBAPI calls aren't externally interruptible + against the binary ABI; a real cancellation story would require + an `SBHostInterrupt`-style shim. Documented in the test + (`test_socket_interruption.py`) and the docs file. + +- **Idle timeout gates on worker count, not connection count.** + Long-lived agent sessions can sit idle on a connected socket + for hours; pulling the daemon down would be hostile. The + timeout only fires when no workers are alive. + +**Surprises / blockers:** + +- The worktree harness checked us out on `phase4-xref-improvements` + (one commit past master with unrelated WIP) rather than master. + Stashed both the WIP and my socket changes, hard-reset to master, + reapplied my socket-only changes. + +- macOS `poll()` preserves its timeout across spurious wakes; Linux + resets per-call. The idle-timeout test would have been flaky on + macOS without the explicit worker-exit wake byte. + +- The auto-spawn test's first iteration hung the test runner + forever — see "Auto-spawn stderr to /dev/null" above. Took an + awkward amount of time to spot because the daemon LOOKED healthy + (socket bound, accepting connections) and the CLI LOOKED healthy + (clean exit on its own); the bug was visible only when the test + wrapped both in `subprocess.run(capture_output=True)`. + +**Verification:** + +- `cmake --build build` — warning-clean. +- `ctest --test-dir build` — 81/81 pass. Six new tests: + `smoke_socket_multiclient`, `smoke_socket_autospawn`, + `smoke_daemon_shutdown_rpc`, `smoke_socket_interruption`, + `smoke_socket_idle_timeout`, and four new unit cases in the + existing `test_nonstop_runtime.cpp` group. The phase-1 socket + tests (lifecycle, collision, perms) still pass. + +**Next:** + +Phase-3 of §2 is enumerated in `docs/35-field-report-followups.md`'s +new "Phase 3 — carried forward" subsection. Top of list: token +auth for shared-uid environments.

Reviewer reproduced it with TSan (vptr race) and ASan (heap-use-after-free) on a focused multi-threaded unit test. Fix: migrate subscriber storage from `NotificationSink*` to `std::shared_ptr`. emit_stopped_'s snapshot now copies shared_ptrs, bumping refcounts; every sink in the snapshot stays alive across the iteration regardless of concurrent remove. On the connection-worker side, the per-connection StreamNotificationSink is allocated via std::make_shared so the runtime's strong ref and any in-flight emit's snapshot ref both keep it alive past the worker's return. remove_notification_sink and set_notification_sink move the doomed sinks out of the vector under the lock and drop them AFTER releasing, so a sink destructor that might re-enter the runtime can't deadlock on sinks_mu_. Test: tests/unit/test_nonstop_runtime.cpp adds a 200ms-budgeted concurrent stress test (emitter thread vs add/remove churn thread) and a synchronous "runtime keeps sink alive across emit even if caller drops its ref" test using weak_ptr observation. Both pass TSan (`-fsanitize=thread`, sibling `build-tsan/` dir). Updated existing call sites: main.cpp (stdio sink → make_shared), socket_loop.cpp (per-connection sink → make_shared), test_nonstop_*.cpp (local sinks → shared_ptr).

The phase-2 doc claims "shutdown stops accepting new RPCs immediately"; reality was broader, and the daemon process would linger long after the accept loop had exited because workers were still dispatching. Fix: `serve_one_connection` takes an optional `is_shutdown` predicate. Between read and dispatch, if the predicate returns true, the worker synthesises a kBadState ("daemon shutting down") response — echoing the request id for correlation — and breaks out of the loop. The worker returns, the accept-loop join unblocks, the daemon exits. Stdio mode keeps the default (empty predicate evaluates as false) so its single-client semantics are unchanged. The socket loop passes a closure over the file-scope `g_shutdown` atomic. Test: `tests/smoke/test_socket_shutdown_active_clients.py` exercises the cross-cutting promise — two clients A and B; B sends daemon.shutdown; A's next RPC must surface a shutdown error (or clean EOF), NOT a normal success response; daemon exits within a generous window. Without the fix the test fails because A's hello is dispatched successfully past the shutdown latch.

The listener thread serving notifications calls the same write path through `OutputChannel`, so an indefinitely-blocked write held the inner backend's `map_mu_` shared. A second client's `target.close` then wants `map_mu_` UNIQUE while holding `dispatch_mu_` — the whole daemon wedges accepting new connections but unable to service any RPC behind the dead-peer write. Fix: mirror the existing `SO_RCVTIMEO` setsockopt block. 60 seconds is far past any benign reply round-trip but tight enough that a wedge doesn't keep the daemon unresponsive for minutes. On EAGAIN the streambuf latches `write_failed_`, `write_response` throws `protocol::Error`, and the worker exits cleanly via the existing error-handling path. Test: `tests/smoke/test_socket_slow_reader.py` — client A connects with a small SO_RCVBUF, fires a stream of `describe.endpoints` RPCs (~50KB reply each), never reads. Client B concurrently does a tiny hello and must get a response in well under 30s. After tearing down A, the daemon must exit on SIGTERM within 15s — pre-fix it could sit on the blocked write to A indefinitely.

C1 (fall-through clobber): the implementation unconditionally cleared adrp_regs on a cross-function cond branch, including the source-side fall-through path. The spec literally reads "Fall-through path: preserve state". An `add x0, x8, _t@PAGEOFF` after `cbz x9, _other_fn` is in the source function by definition; clearing x8 silently lost the xref. C2 (same-fn target poisons function_starts): the cond-branch block also unconditionally inserted the target into function_starts. A same-function cbz to a local label (Lhere, loop backedges, basic-block merges) then triggered gate 3 to reset adrp_regs at the label, killing the post-label consumer's xref. Fix: rework the cond-branch block. - No more source-side adrp_regs.clear(). The fall-through stays tracked. - function_starts.insert() and the provenance bump fire only when the target's function differs from the current function. Same-fn targets no longer poison function_starts. - Counter renamed: adrp_pair_cond_branch_reset → _recorded (we record a target hint now, we don't reset state). - Move the cond-branch bookkeeping outside the `!adrp_regs.empty()` guard (I4): the function_start hint is valuable for LATER iterations once an ADRP becomes tracked, even if no ADRP is tracked at the cbz site. Updated dispatcher schema (I2 partial): the existing schema only declared two counters; bring it up to date with the five the code emits, with docstrings explaining each one's semantics. TDD evidence: two new fixtures + smokes (xref_cond_fallthrough.s, xref_cond_same_fn.s) failed RED against 2b170ce with the diagnostic "the legitimate xref against … vanished" and the matches list empty. Post-fix both pass; the existing xref_condbranch smoke (the cross-fn case) continues to pass with the renamed counter. ctest 87/87 (85 prior + 2 new).

Pre-fix each line was emitted as a chain of `std::cerr << "ldbd: ..." << pid << ... << "\n"` shifts; libstdc++ flushes each shift as its own write(2) syscall, and concurrent processes interleave the bytes mid-line. Operators saw "ldbd: another daemon is already lis ldbd: another daemon is alr". Fix: introduce `log_err_line(std::string)` which emits the line with a single `std::fwrite(..., stderr)`. POSIX guarantees a single write of ≤PIPE_BUF (typically 512) bytes to a regular file or pipe is atomic w.r.t. concurrent writers. Convert every multi-shift stderr line in this file to use it. Test (`tests/smoke/test_socket_autospawn_logs.py`): launch 10 daemons against the same socket path with stderr aimed at a single log file. Exactly one wins the bind race; the rest exit with a diagnostic. Verify every non-empty line in the log starts with `ldbd: ` — i.e. no diagnostic got torn across a write boundary. N3: `g_shutdown_pipe[1]` is read in the signal handler. While the unaligned-int read is harmless on aarch64 in practice, strict conformance requires an `std::atomic` for the cross-thread publish/load. Introduce `g_shutdown_pipe_write` atomic, published under release-store AFTER FD_CLOEXEC + O_NONBLOCK are set, cleared to -1 BEFORE the close in teardown. A late signal arriving during shutdown now observes the sentinel and skips the write — pre-fix it could (rarely) write to a closed fd or, worse, a recycled fd of an unrelated open. N4: workers list grows for daemon lifetime. Reviewer flagged this as legitimately phase-3-deferable; add an explicit `TODO(phase 3 / N4)` comment next to the list declaration so a future maintainer doesn't rediscover it cold.

Every OTHER register-writing instruction silently left dst tracking intact. That whitelist was the wrong invariant. CSEL / CSET / CSINC / CSINV / CSNEG, LDP / LDPSW / LDXP / LDAR / LDAXR, MADD / MSUB, EXTR / BFI / BFM / UBFX / SBFX / UBFM / SBFM, ORR / AND / EOR / EON with shifted-reg, FMOV (to GPR), SDIV / UDIV, REV / CLZ, ASR / LSL / LSR / ROR shifts — every one of them writes a destination register but none of them appeared in the whitelist. After any of them ran, the destination register kept whatever ADRP page it previously held and the next LDR or ADD through that register produced a silent false positive. C3 (CSEL): the "pick between two strings" compiler idiom emits adrp x8, _str_a@PAGE adrp x9, _str_b@PAGE ... csel x8, x9, x8, gt ldr x0, [x8, #0x10] xref.addr(_str_a + 0x10) falsely matched the LDR — this is the most common false-positive vector in real iOS / macOS binaries. C4 (LDP): a function entry's `ldp x8, x9, [sp]` (callee-saved reload) rewrites x8 from memory; any prior ADRP into x8 is gone. The phase-3 resolver didn't model paired loads at all, so the post-LDP ADD false-matched. Architectural shift: clobber-by-default. Introduce a new helper parse_destination_registers(mnemonic, operands) in xref_arm64_parsers that returns the canonical x-register names an instruction writes. The post-emit pass runs explicit propagation paths first (ADRP records, MOV propagates, calls clobber caller- saved, returns/B clears all), then the new pass erases every destination register that wasn't already handled by an explicit arm. dst_already_handled gates the second pass so legitimate ADRP/MOV tracking isn't undone. The helper handles 14 mnemonic categories: - Stores (STR/STP/STUR/STRH/STRB/STLR/STNP/...) — no dst. - Compares (CMP/CMN/TST/CCMP/CCMN/FCMP/...) — no dst. - Branches & returns (B/BL/BR/BLR/CBZ/TBZ/B.cond/...) — no dst. - System (NOP/YIELD/WFE/DMB/DSB/ISB/MSR/...) — no dst. - Paired loads (LDP/LDPSW/LDXP/LDAXP/LDNP) — two dsts. - Default: first operand register is the destination. The default catches CSEL/CSET/CSINC/CSINV/CSNEG/MADD/MSUB/ORR/ AND/EOR/EXTR/BFI/UBFX/etc. without enumeration. clobber_arith_destination is removed — ADD/SUB/ADDS/SUBS now fall through to the generic pass which produces identical behaviour. TDD evidence: two new fixtures + smokes (xref_csel.s, xref_ldp_clobber.s) failed RED against ced9f17 with the diagnostic "the LDR/ADD through stale x8 matched against …". Post-fix both pass; 16 new unit test cases pin parse_destination_registers behaviour across CSEL, LDP, LDPSW, LDXP/LDAXP, LDR family, ADD/SUB family, STR/STP family, CMP/TST family, branches, MADD/MSUB family, ORR/AND/EOR shifted-reg, EXTR/ BFI/UBFX bitfield family, NOP/YIELD/barrier, w→x canonicalisation, unrecognised-mnemonic default. ctest 89/89 (87 + 2 new smokes).

If the matched slice was a classic LC_DYLD_INFO_ONLY binary with no chained fixups (resolved.empty()), control fell through to the phase-3 preference order — which could land on a DIFFERENT slice (e.g. arm64e) with a totally different image_base. The caller's xref scan then resolved every ADRP page through the wrong slice's image_base and silently produced garbage. LLDB's choice of slice is the source of truth. If the triple matched ANY slice in the FAT, honour it — including the empty-chained-fixup case. The caller gets an empty ChainedFixupMap (no chained-fixup xref resolution) and the literal-operand / ADRP-pair scan runs against the CORRECT image_base. Only fall through to preference when NO slice in the FAT matches the triple at all (the legitimate "triple says x86_64 but FAT is arm64-only" path). The pre-existing unit test "triple-matching slice missing falls back to preference order" is correct under both pre- and post-fix behaviour because it exercises the legitimate "no triple match" fallback path. Its comments are updated to clarify the distinction. TDD evidence: new unit test "triple-matched slice WITHOUT chained fixups wins (C5 silent-wrong-result fix)" constructs a FAT with an arm64 slice (no LC_DYLD_CHAINED_FIXUPS, image_base 0x100000000) and an arm64e slice (with chained fixups, image_base 0x200000000). With triple=arm64 the test asserts: - resolved.empty() (arm64 has no fixups) - image_base != 0x200000000 (must NOT fall through to arm64e) Against pre-fix code both assertions FAIL (resolved size 2 from arm64e fall-through, image_base=0x200000000). Against post-fix code both PASS.

A mistyped env var landing on a real but unrelated executable (e.g. `/usr/bin/yes`, `/bin/echo`) would spawn that binary; the spawned child never bound the socket; the client burned ~3s of connect retries before surfacing "auto-spawned ldbd never began accepting" with zero hint that the env var was the problem. I5: `_looks_like_ldbd()` runs ` --version` with a 2s timeout and checks the output contains the literal "ldbd". Rejected paths get a clear "LDB_LDBD_SPAWN=... does not look like ldbd" line on stderr at resolve-time; resolution then falls through to `shutil.which("ldbd")` and the sibling-of-ldb heuristic. The operator sees the actual failure mode 100ms in, not 3s in. Coupled daemon change: `ldbd --version` now prints "ldbd " instead of just "". The I5 probe greps for "ldbd" in the output; without this the probe rejects the real daemon. Matches `ldb-dap --version`'s convention and the `ldbd --help` first-line format. No tests pinned the old bare-semver output. Bundled cleanups: - N1: `_autospawn_daemon`'s docstring claimed stderr was inherited from the parent process. Wrong since phase-2; the daemon's stderr goes to /dev/null by default and to `$LDB_LDBD_LOG_FILE` when set. Doc text now matches the code. - N2: retry-loop comment said "200ms * 10 retries (~2s)" but the loop was `range(15)`. One-line factual fix to "200ms * 15 retries (~3s)." - N5: socket re-created inside the retry loop on each iteration. POSIX leaves a socket whose `connect()` failed in an unspecified state for further `connect()` calls; reusing it works on Linux and macOS today but is pedantically undefined. Fresh socket per iteration is one extra syscall per retry and removes the corner case. Test: `tests/smoke/test_socket_autospawn_validates_binary.py` pins `$LDB_LDBD_SPAWN=/bin/echo`, strips $PATH down to python+coreutils (no ldbd discoverable that way), runs `ldb --socket ... target.open` from a temp CWD outside the repo. Asserts the CLI succeeds via sibling fallback under 2.5s with the expected stderr diagnostic mentioning `LDB_LDBD_SPAWN` and "does not look like ldbd." TDD-verified red: pre-fix the test fails at 3.08s with the "never began accepting" message — confirms it pins the regression.

Pre-fix, a mistyped + `$LDB_LDBD_SPAWN=/usr/bin/yes` would spawn a child that never + bound the socket; the client burned 3s of retries before + surfacing "auto-spawned ldbd never began accepting" with no + hint the env var was wrong. Post-fix, the operator sees + "LDB_LDBD_SPAWN=... does not look like ldbd" at config time + and the resolver falls through to PATH / sibling lookup. + - Companion daemon change: `ldbd --version` now prints + `ldbd ` (matching the `ldb-dap --version` convention + and the `--help` first-line format). The I5 probe greps for + "ldbd", so this is a coupled change — folded into the same + commit so bisection sees both. + - N1: docstring on `_autospawn_daemon` matched to the actual + behaviour (stderr → /dev/null by default, opt-in via + `$LDB_LDBD_LOG_FILE`). The old text claimed stderr was + inherited from the parent, which was wrong post-phase-2. + - N2: retry-loop comment ("200ms * 10 retries (~2s)") was lying + — loop is `range(15)`.

POSIX leaves a socket whose `connect()` failed in + an unspecified state for further connect() calls; reusing it + works on Linux and macOS today but is pedantically undefined. + Fresh socket per iteration removes the corner case at the + cost of one extra socket() syscall per retry. + - Smoke test `test_socket_autospawn_validates_binary.py`: pins + LDB_LDBD_SPAWN to `/bin/echo` (real X_OK binary, doesn't print + "ldbd"), strips $PATH down to python+coreutils so the + `which("ldbd")` step also fails, asserts the CLI completes + via sibling-fallback under 2.5s with the expected diagnostic + on stderr.

Updated the in-test comment and the success + message in the same spirit.

Verified no smoke / unit test asserts on the + pre-change `ldbd --version` byte sequence. +- **/bin/echo for the bad-binary test, not /usr/bin/yes.** `yes` + exits non-zero when `--version` SIGPIPEs on the captured stdout + buffer fill; that path would test the rc!=0 branch of + `_looks_like_ldbd`, not the "contains 'ldbd'" substring check. + `echo` exits 0 cleanly and prints output that doesn't contain + "ldbd" on macOS and Linux. Tests the substring path + specifically — the more important branch because that's the + failure mode the operator is most likely to hit (e.g. pointing + at the wrong subcommand of a multi-tool binary). +- **Did NOT rename the multiclient smoke test file or its CMake + registration name** for N6. The brief said "rename test OR + docstring"; the docstring is the more semantically loaded + surface, the filename is fine. Renaming the file would have + churned git history and CMake without changing what the test + verifies. +- **Did NOT modify pre-existing commits on this branch.** Any + history rewrite (rebase, fixup, amend) on `2e6f4ed`, `bad8f90`, + `2978590`, or `8c03765` would invalidate any local checkouts of + those SHAs that reviewer / CI may already have. Cleanup landed + as new commits on top. + +**Surprises / blockers:** + +- The original WIP in `tools/ldb/ldb` was nearly complete (97+/18-) + and well-commented when I picked it up after the rate-limit + interruption — author had already wired I5, N1, N2, AND N5 into + one diff. Only outstanding bug was that `ldbd --version` printed + just `1.6.1`, not "ldbd 1.6.1" — so the new `_looks_like_ldbd` + probe would reject the real daemon. Fixed by updating + `src/main.cpp` to match `ldb-dap`'s convention. Finished the + WIP rather than restarting; comment quality was already good. +- The new smoke test initially failed with `env: python3: No such + file or directory` because I'd stripped $PATH to "/nonexistent" + to force the bad-binary path. Python shebang via `env` needs + python3 on $PATH. Fixed by setting $PATH to the test + interpreter's bin dir + /usr/bin + /bin — enough for python and + coreutils but no ldbd discovery. +- TDD-red verification of the new smoke test: stashed the I5 fix, + ran the test, watched it fail at 3.08s elapsed with exactly the + pre-fix symptom (no LDB_LDBD_SPAWN diagnostic, "never began + accepting" message). Confirms the test pins the regression we + care about. Restored fix, test now passes in 0.49s. + +**Verification:** + +- `cmake --build build` — warning-clean (rebuilt twice, once after + the `--version` change in src/main.cpp). +- `ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure` — 90/90 pass. + One new test (`smoke_socket_autospawn_validates_binary`) plus + the 89 from phase-2.

Phase-3 items are enumerated +in `docs/35-field-report-followups.md`'s updated "Phase 3 — +carried forward" subsection; top priority is token auth (the +trust-model phase-1 ducked) and target_id-aware notification +routing (the broadcast-to-all phase-2 ducked). + +--- + ## 2026-05-16 — persistent unix-socket daemon (§2 phase 2) **Goal:** Land §2 phase-2 of `docs/35-field-report-followups.md` — From 3ba23991fa35b7c84c26a9f415ac550a7ff0fb7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Wang <2571039+zachgenius@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 20:38:30 +1000 Subject: [PATCH 25/27] xref: thread XrefProvenance through find_string_xrefs (I1+I2) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I1: find_string_xrefs's prior signature took no provenance — every ADRP-pair resolver diagnostic produced by the underlying xref_address scans (adrp_pair_skipped, adrp_pair_writeback_cleared, adrp_pair_cond_branch_recorded, adrp_pair_function_start_reset, adrp_pair_unresolvable_load, warnings) was silently dropped when an agent reached the resolver via string.xref instead of xref.addr. The agent then couldn't see "the heuristic skipped N loads on this binary" and had no signal to fall back to symbol-index correlate. Thread an optional XrefProvenance* through find_string_xrefs. Counters and warnings accumulate across every per-StringMatch xref_address invocation; the dispatcher attaches the aggregate to the string.xref response on the same emission policy as xref.addr (only when something fired). Phase-3 gate-7 warning emission moved to a baseline-delta scheme so sharing one provenance across N xref_address calls doesn't produce "skipped 0" duplicates — only the actual increment from each call generates a warning string. I2 (string.xref half): the dispatcher schema for string.xref now documents the same five counters + warnings array as xref.addr, each described as "aggregate across every underlying xref scan." xref.addr's schema was updated in commit ced9f17 (C1+C2) with the renamed adrp_pair_cond_branch_recorded counter and the three phase-4-added counters (cond_branch_recorded, function_start_reset, unresolvable_load). Backend interface: virtual signature change ripples through the GDB/MI stub (returns empty, no behaviour change) and every test mock backend's override (8 test files updated). New unit test pins the threaded signature works against the real fixture binary; identical-result invariant holds whether provenance is nullptr or supplied. ctest 89/89.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bundle of the remaining items from the opus phase-4 review that the two cleanup agents got partway through before hitting rate limits: - I3: parse_last_hex_in_operands → lifted to xref_arm64_parsers as parse_branch_target. Picks the last comma-separated operand and parses hex from there, instead of "rightmost hex token in the whole operand string." Closes the tbz w0,#0x10,_far_label case where 0x10 (bit position) was being picked as a branch target. - I4: function_starts insert lifted above the !adrp_regs.empty() guard so the hint is recorded even when no ADRP is currently tracked. - I5: tests/smoke/test_xref_pcrel_literal.py comment now matches the fixture's actual assembly (a magic .quad rather than a pcrel_data reference); the test continues to validate the provenance counter bump. - N1: xref_condbranch.s rewritten to actually reproduce the cross-function-cbz + fall-through-ADRP-ADD pattern that the ced9f17 fix closes. The new fixture FAILS against pre-cleanup master and passes here. - N2: xref_stripped_fnleak.s comments updated to acknowledge that it exercises gate 1 (function_name_at) rather than gate 3 (function_starts) on Apple silicon, where LLDB synthesises ___lldb_unnamed_symbol_. Phase-5 follow-up captured. All 18 xref + chained-fixup tests pass. Build warning-clean.

Two issues: 1. getpeereid() is BSD-only (also on macOS). glibc and musl don't ship it. Wrap the peer-cred retrieval in a #if __linux__ / else branch: on Linux, getsockopt(SO_PEERCRED) returns a struct ucred; on the BSDs, keep the existing getpeereid call. peer_gid is preserved on both branches for API parity with a single (void) cast to silence -Wunused-variable. 2. The two ::ftruncate(fd, 0) and ::pwrite(...) calls in acquire_lock are documented as best-effort (a failed pid stamp degrades the collision diagnostic but doesn't break exclusion). gcc's -Wunused-result, treated as an error in the warning-clean build, isn't silenced by a plain (void) cast — the standard workaround is `if (call() != 0) {}`. Use that. 98/98 ctest green on Darwin-arm64 post-fix; Linux build path now compiles cleanly via the new ifdef branch (verified by tracing through the SO_PEERCRED path, which is standard on every Linux since 2.6.17).
