From 06d0d6220f13fa6a921cd0f37eae244caec69852 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Whitestone Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 21:11:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: resolve SSE stream registry race condition at completion boundary MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes #16 1. stream-registry: Don't delete stream from map in end() — let the "close" event handle cleanup after consumers drain buffered data. This prevents the race where a late-attaching SSE client calls get() after end() but before reading buffered tokens. 2. stream-registry: Add hasEnded() method to check if a stream's writable side has ended (used for diagnostics). 3. jobs SSE endpoint: When job is "executing" but stream slot is gone (ended before client attached), poll DB every 2s (max 120s) until the job completes, then replay the full result. Previously this case returned "Stream timed out" error. 4. Timeout was already 90s (updated in prior work); fixed the docstring comment from 60s to 90s. 5. Added unit test covering the race: simulates instant stub completion (write + end before consumer attaches) and verifies buffered data is still readable by a late consumer.

Previously this fell through to a generic timeout error even though the job succeeded. Changes: - Add DB polling fallback (2s interval, 120s max) when stream is null but job state is "executing" — waits for terminal state then replays the result via token+done SSE events - Add unit tests covering the race condition: instant completion before client attach, normal live streaming, and the DB replay fallback path The 90s bus-wait timeout and post-wait DB re-check were already in place.
