Follow-up to merged PR #2541 (#1872). Fixes #2573 threads 1-4; thread 5 (CI-only internal/hooks failure observability) is addressed by printing failing-test output in the mcpx workflow log.

  1. P1 descendant processes (runner.go:187): hooks now run in their own process group (Setpgid); timeout kills the group (Cancel SIGKILL + 1s WaitDelay). sh -c "sleep 2 & wait" with a 100ms timeout is cut at ~100ms (new test asserts <1.5s) instead of wedging the serial worker / Stop.
  2. P2 bus-level drops (runner.go:86): the fanout loop folds the shared subscription Dropped delta into every matching hooks Stats.Dropped, so the gap marker covers this stage.
  3. P2 unbounded output (runner.go:185): per-execution output retained via cappedWriter bounded at defaults.ExecStderrLimit (65536 fallback); excess is drained and discarded.
  4. P2 interpreter readiness (cli/hook.go:93): new hooks.Ready (shared by hook ls and doctor) resolves module runtimes through ArgvFor — an existing module file without python3/uv or deno/bun/node on PATH now reports unready instead of yes.

Tests: TestDescendantHookCutAtTimeout, TestSlowHookDropsAreCounted, TestCappedWriterRetainsBoundedHead, TestReadyReportsMissingInterpreter. Verified: go build ./..., go vet, hooks 5x race, cli + events green. Pre-existing internal/defaults guard red (execsvc/hooks.go, progspec.go offenders, untouched by this PR) and settings/doc-drift reds (#2552) are out of scope.

Closes #2573.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Hooks can now run Python and JavaScript modules using available runtimes, with clearer readiness status when a required runtime or module is unavailable.
    • Hook output is capped, and dropped events are tracked per hook.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Timed-out hooks now stop descendant processes, while an early-exiting parent no longer ends the hook’s configured time budget.
  • Chores
    • Workflow logs now include package output and details for failed tests.

…2541 (#2573)

1. P1 descendant processes: run each hook in its own process group
   (Setpgid) and kill the group on timeout (Cancel SIGKILL +
   WaitDelay), so sh -c "sleep 2 & wait" is cut at the hook timeout
   instead of wedging the serial worker; Stop can no longer hang.
2. P2 bus-level drops: fold the shared subscription Dropped delta
   into every matching hooks Stats.Dropped at fanout, so the gap
   marker covers this delivery stage too.
3. P2 unbounded output: retain at most ExecStderrLimit bytes per
   execution (cappedWriter drains and discards the rest).
4. P2 interpreter readiness: hooks.Ready (shared by hook ls and
   doctor) now resolves module runtimes via ArgvFor, so a module
   file without python3/uv or deno/bun/node on PATH reports unready.
   argvFor stays as a thin alias.

Tests: descendant cut at timeout, slow-hook drop counting, capped
writer bound, readiness with empty PATH. Workflow: failing Go test
output now prints in the CI log (was package-level only, which hid
the internal/hooks failure behind #2573s fifth thread).

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime resolution and readiness
pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/hooks.go, pkgs/mcpx/internal/cli/hook.go, pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/findings_test.go
ArgvFor resolves available Python and JavaScript runtimes. Ready checks command availability and module files, and the CLI delegates readiness checks to it. Tests cover missing runtimes, modules, and commands.
Per-hook subscriptions and drop counts
pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/runner.go, pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/findings_test.go
The runner creates a filtered bus subscription for each hook and tracks drops from that subscription. Tests check drop counts for slow hooks and separate filters.
Process timeout and bounded output
pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/runner.go, pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/findings_test.go, pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/capped_test.go
Hook execution kills the process group when its context ends. Stdout and stderr share a capped writer. Tests cover descendant processes and output bounds.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

For #2573, the reviewed changes implement the four requested fixes. runner.go uses per-hook subscriptions and records subscription drops. It kills the hook process group on cancellation. cappedWriter bounds retained output and drains excess bytes. hooks.Ready checks module files and interpreter availability. The workflow now prints output for failed tests, which satisfies the diagnostic alternative for the CI-only failure. Regression tests cover these behaviors, including mixed filters and early parent exit. The evidence does not establish that go test ./internal/hooks/... passed in CI on this pull request.

Resolution

Provide CI evidence that go test ./internal/hooks/... passes on this pull request, or identify a remaining failure with its test and mechanism.

Reject module paths that are not regular files in Ready.

Ready checks a module path only with os.Stat and an error check. A directory passes that check. A directory whose name ends in .py, .ts, .js, .mjs, or .mts can therefore report "yes" when an interpreter is on PATH, and hook ls and doctor then show the hook as ready. The hook's own conversion error describes module as a file, so the readiness check should require a regular file.

Suggested fix
 	case ExecModulePython:
-		if _, err := os.Stat(h.Module); err != nil {
+		if fi, err := os.Stat(h.Module); err != nil || !fi.Mode().IsRegular() {
 			return "no: module file missing"
 		}

pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/runner.go:205-212
Minor · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Bound the output-pipe wait at the hook deadline.

On timeout, the watcher kills only the hook's process group. A descendant that calls setsid leaves that group and can keep the stdout or stderr pipe open. Both streams write to a *cappedWriter, which is not an *os.File, so cmd.Wait at pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/runner.go:212 also waits for the copy goroutines. WaitDelay is not set, so nothing closes the pipes at the deadline. execute can then block past h.Timeout. The hook worker stays busy, which delays later events for that hook. Runner.Stop can also wait in r.wg.Wait() for that worker.

Do not fix this with a fixed cmd.WaitDelay. Its timer starts when Wait observes the parent exit, not at the deadline. A short value closes the pipes early when a background descendant finishes inside the hook's budget.

Close the output pipes at the deadline instead:

  • Create stdout and stderr with os.Pipe, and assign the write ends to cmd.Stdout and cmd.Stderr. Wait then does not copy from them.
  • Close the parent's copy of each write end after cmd.Start returns.
  • Run one reader goroutine per stream that copies into the capped buffer.
  • When ctx.Done() fires, close both read ends, and wait for the readers to finish before reading the captured output.

Pipes then close only at the deadline. An early parent exit keeps the full timeoutMs budget.

Note: this behaviour predates this PR (already present at merge base a8ea41aef747); the change keeps it reachable.

Add a positive readiness test for a module hook.

Assert the retained buffer length in TestCappedWriterRetainsBoundedHead.

The test checks only the String() output. A cappedWriter that stores all 1,000 bytes and truncates in String() would pass both assertions. That regression would let hook output grow daemon memory without a test failure. Checking w.buf.Len() makes the test fail when excess bytes are retained. The check is safe here because the test runs synchronously in the same package.

Suggested test assertion
 	if got := w.String(); got != strings.Repeat("x", 16) {

Assert the daemon bound value in TestLimitedHookOutputUsesDaemonBound.

The test accepts any positive max. A fallback-only implementation passes because hookOutputLimit is also 65536, which equals the default ExecStderrLimit. Comparing against the default alone does not detect that regression. Set a distinct configured value, then check the nonpositive fallback separately. Restore the package variable in cleanup. Do not mark this test t.Parallel, because it mutates the shared defaults.ExecStderrLimit.

reader goroutine. On ctx.Done, close both read ends and wait for both readers
before accessing captured output; do not use a fixed cmd.WaitDelay.

Nitpick comments:
Review comments at @pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/capped_test.go:
- Around line 17-18: Update TestCappedWriterRetainsBoundedHead to assert that
w.buf.Len() is 16 after writing, so the test verifies the cappedWriter retains
only the bounded buffer, not merely that String() returns truncated output.
- Around line 30-32: Update TestLimitedHookOutputUsesDaemonBound to set
defaults.ExecStderrLimit to a distinct positive value and assert
limitedHookOutput uses it; then set the daemon bound to a nonpositive value and
assert the hookOutputLimit fallback. Restore the shared default in test cleanup,
and keep this test non-parallel because it mutates shared state.

Review comments at @pkgs/mcpx/internal/hooks/findings_test.go:
- Around line 164-169: Add a positive readiness assertion in the test alongside
the existing empty-PATH checks: create a temporary executable named python3, put
its directory on PATH, parse a module hook with hooks.Parse, and verify
hooks.Ready returns "yes". Use the existing module path variable if available.

…) (#5004)

fix(mcpx): keep hook stderr out of the capped stdout, stream the CI log formatter (#2880)

Two CodeRabbit minors deferred from PR #2840, both still live on main.

hooks: execute() pointed cmd.Stdout and cmd.Stderr at one cappedWriter, so
a hook that filled the bound with stdout before writing its diagnostic had
truncated stdout recorded as the failure text. Each stream now has its own
capped writer and the failure text is stderr's first line, falling back to
stdout's when stderr is empty (a hook that exits nonzero silently). Two
tests: a hook that writes 70KB of stdout without a newline and then one
stderr line reports the diagnostic, never the stdout; a quiet hook still
reports its first stdout line.

CI log formatter: the readable-output step appended every parsed go test
-json event to a list and printed from it in two passes, retaining memory
proportional to the whole stream. It now re-reads the file per pass through
a generator. Output is byte-identical (checked against a fixture with a
passing package, a failing test, and a non-JSON line).
