Fixes #482.

Summary

Addresses the runaway detached-session problem: live PTY sessions keep running tools after the client leaves, with no visibility into per-session resource cost and no reliable way to terminate the full worker tree.

Per-session resource sampling (aish-pty/resource.rs, new)

  • Samples CPU ticks + RSS for each live session's whole worker tree (daemon → REPL → bash → running tools) via a single /proc pass.
  • Aggregates by parent-pid closure: immune to the setsid() each aish layer performs, so a process-group kill can never miss workers and the sample can never miss them either.
  • kill_process_tree() collects the descendant set before any signalling (so orphans reparented to init stay discoverable), then sweeps SIGTERM → 200ms → SIGKILL.

Targeted termination

  • daemon.rs KillSession paths now call kill_process_tree instead of signalling only the direct child — previously bash-exec'd tool workers survived /kill_live_sessions as orphaned CPU burners.

Threshold alerts in the REPL (aish-shell/resource_monitor.rs, new)

  • Periodic check (default 30s) warns when another detached session exceeds CPU/RSS thresholds. Configurable: pty_resource_check_interval_secs (0 disables), pty_resource_cpu_percent (default 80), pty_resource_rss_mb (default 1024).
  • CPU% is derived from the tick delta against the previous check — zero sampling sleep, the REPL is never blocked. 5-minute per-session alert cooldown, state resets on recovery.
  • /live_sessions picker rows now show live CPU % and RSS so runaway sessions are visible directly in the panel.

glob tool hardening (long-running tool from the repro steps)

  • Pruned DFS traversal: target/node_modules/.git/... are cut at traversal level, not post-filtered.
  • 60s wall-clock budget guarantees return on pathological trees / stalled NFS.
  • Ctrl+C cancels the walk via the session token (checked per directory and every 256 entries); the blocking traversal runs on spawn_blocking off the async runtime.
  • Cancellation returns partial results as a success with a note — an error result would make the agent retry into another cancelled walk.

Issue acceptance criteria coverage

Criterion Status
detach/reattach preserved ✅ untouched
/live_sessions shows runtime + resource usage ✅ CPU/RSS/age/PID/cwd (tool summary & binary-version status out of scope here)
Warn when session exceeds configurable resource threshold
Targeted termination stops daemon + owned worker tree, no kill-all fallback kill_process_tree
Update-flow detection of stale executables ❌ not in this PR

Testing

  • cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -D warnings clean.
  • New unit tests: /proc stat parsing (parens in comm), tree sampling, descendant discovery, monitor state machine (cooldown, recovery, first-check has no CPU baseline), glob prune/timeout/cancel/limit/symlink behaviour.
  • Full cargo test -p aish-pty -p aish-shell -p aish-tools -p aish-config green.

Resource overhead

Steady state: zero (no threads, no timers; the throttled check early-returns on an Instant compare). Due check: one /proc pass (~1–3 ms on a 3k-process box) with hash-map keyed BFS. No new dependencies.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Live sessions now display CPU and memory usage.
    • Receive alerts when a session exceeds configured resource thresholds, with guidance to switch or terminate it.
    • Resource monitoring messages are available in multiple languages.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Terminating a live session now also stops related worker processes.
  • Improvements

    • File searches are faster and more responsive, with improved cancellation, timeout handling, directory exclusions, and partial results.

… kill

Fixes the observability and termination gaps from AI-Shell-Team#482:

- aish-pty/resource.rs: /proc-based sampling of each live session's full
  worker tree (REPL -> bash -> tools) by parent-pid closure, immune to
  the setsid() done by each layer; kill_process_tree() collects the
  descendant set BEFORE signalling, then sweeps SIGTERM + SIGKILL so
  kill_live_sessions no longer leaves orphaned CPU burners behind
- daemon.rs: KillSession now terminates the whole worker tree via
  kill_process_tree instead of only the direct child
- resource_monitor: periodic REPL check (default 30s, configurable via
  pty_resource_check_interval_secs / _cpu_percent / _rss_mb) alerts when
  another detached session exceeds CPU/RSS thresholds; CPU is derived
  from the tick delta against the previous check so no sampling sleep
  ever blocks the REPL; 5-min per-session alert cooldown
- /live_sessions picker shows live CPU% and RSS per session
- glob tool: pruned DFS traversal (excludes target/node_modules/... at
  traversal level), 60s wall-clock budget, Ctrl+C cancellation via the
  session token, spawn_blocking off the async runtime; cancellation
  returns partial results as success so the agent does not retry into
  another cancelled walk

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds configurable PTY resource monitoring, Linux process-tree sampling and termination, localized live-session alerts, and resource details in /live_sessions. It also rewrites GlobTool traversal with pruning, cancellation, result limits, timeouts, and asynchronous session execution.

Changes

PTY Resource Monitoring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resource monitoring configuration
crates/aish-config/src/model.rs
ConfigModel adds interval, CPU, and RSS settings with serde defaults of 30 seconds, 80%, and 1024 MiB. Zero values disable checks.
PTY resource primitives and termination
crates/aish-pty/src/resource.rs, crates/aish-pty/src/daemon.rs, crates/aish-pty/src/lib.rs
The PTY crate samples Linux process trees, calculates CPU and RSS usage, discovers descendants, and terminates complete worker trees. Daemon kill handling uses tree termination with pidfd-based signaling and PID validation fallback.
Shell monitoring and localized session display
crates/aish-shell/src/resource_monitor.rs, crates/aish-shell/src/app.rs, crates/aish-shell/src/lib.rs, crates/aish-i18n/locales/*
The shell checks other live sessions, throttles alerts, displays CPU/RSS details in /live_sessions, and formats localized warnings. Tests cover sampling, cooldowns, recovery, dead daemons, and formatting.

Glob Traversal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pruned bounded traversal
crates/aish-tools/src/glob_tool/glob_tool.rs
GlobTool uses custom depth-first traversal with excluded-directory pruning, no symlink following, result limits, cancellation checks, and a 60-second deadline.
Execution wiring and validation
crates/aish-tools/src/glob_tool/glob_tool.rs
Synchronous and session-aware asynchronous execution share run_glob. Cancellation and timeout return partial results with notes. Tests cover matching, roots, limits, exclusions, symlinks, cancellation, and timeout.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5254a

Session termination can send SIGTERM to an unrelated process if a worker PID is reused before the kill sweep runs, potentially disrupting other work. This bounded safety risk should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Poem

A rabbit checked the session tree,
And watched the CPU hop free.
RSS was measured, alerts were bright,
Worker trees could end outright.
Glob paths now stop when time is tight,
While carrots compile cleanly tonight.

Explanation

The PR implements resource sampling, resource alerts, live-session resource display, and targeted process-tree termination for issue #482. It does not implement several linked issue requirements, including stale executable detection, update-flow handling, full session state and tool metadata, unknown-tool representation, metadata security requirements, and the remaining acceptance tests.

Resolution

Implement or explicitly defer the missing issue #482 requirements: complete /live_sessions state, tool, activity, runtime, PID relationship, and executable-version reporting; stale executable detection; update handling with explicit session choices; unknown active-tool handling; least-privilege runtime metadata; and the remaining lifecycle and update tests. Preserve detach/reattach behavior and targeted termination semantics.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are within the stated PR scope. The Glob traversal safeguards are explicitly listed in the PR objectives, and the configuration, localization, resource monitoring, and process-tree termination changes support those objectives.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Confirm the supported target platforms for this module.

The module doc states "Linux only", but the module has no #[cfg(target_os = "linux")] gate and crates/aish-pty/src/lib.rs re-exports it unconditionally. The code still compiles on macOS because libc::sysconf and libc::kill exist there, but /proc does not. On macOS samples_own_process_tree fails at the r.rss_bytes > 0 assertion (Line 331) and descendant_pids_finds_direct_child fails at the kids.contains(&child.id()) assertion (Line 363). Runtime sampling also degrades silently to zeroed metrics on non-Linux hosts.

If the workspace targets Linux only, no change is needed. If it also targets macOS, gate the module and the tests, and provide a non-Linux fallback for the exported functions.

PID-only membership cannot detect recycling: if the root (or any
victim) exits during the SIGTERM grace window and its pid is reassigned,
the SIGKILL sweep hits an unrelated process. Capture each victim's
/proc/<pid>/stat start time before signalling and revalidate it after
the grace window; a mismatch (or vanished pid) skips the SIGKILL.

Use stable process handles for both signals.

libc::kill(pid, SIGTERM) uses the PID from the initial victims snapshot without checking its stored start time. If that process exits and the PID is reused before the sweep reaches it, SIGTERM can reach an unrelated process. The later SIGKILL check cannot prevent this.

Use pidfds for both signals. If a supported target lacks pidfds, revalidate immediately before SIGTERM and document the remaining TOCTOU risk.

…d pid

PID start-time checks only guarded the SIGKILL sweep; the SIGTERM sweep
still signalled raw pids from the initial /proc snapshot. Pin every
victim with pidfd_open BEFORE any signal and send both SIGTERM and
SIGKILL via pidfd_send_signal — a pidfd references the exact process
instance, so recycling is structurally impossible.

Fallback for pre-5.1 kernels (or seccomp-blocked syscalls): kill() only
when the pidfd's fdinfo Pid still matches the pid's /proc stat pid,
which proves the pid was not recycled between pin and signal.

Collaborator Author

Addressed in 8db8bf1: both signals now go through pidfd_send_signal on pidfds opened before the SIGTERM sweep, so a recycled pid can never receive either signal. For pre-5.1 kernels / blocked syscalls there is a kill() fallback that first cross-checks the pidfd's fdinfo Pid against the pid's /proc stat pid. Verified the syscall pair (434/424) behaviorally: fdinfo Pid matches the target and SIGTERM terminates it.

261-294: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use the target-specific libc syscall constants.

libc::syscall receives the literal 424/434 values on every target. On MIPS, libc defines these syscalls as 4000 + 424/4000 + 434, so the current calls may invoke the wrong syscall. Replace both literals with libc::SYS_pidfd_send_signal and libc::SYS_pidfd_open, and pass scalar variadic arguments as libc::c_long.

filter_map discarded every pid whose pidfd_open failed (kernel < 5.3,
seccomp/container policy, EPERM), silently turning kill_process_tree
into a no-op — the exact runaway-session failure this PR targets.

Victims now carry Option<PidFd>: pinned fds use pidfd_send_signal with
an fdinfo identity cross-check on fallback; unpinned pids fall back to
plain kill, accepting the documented TOCTOU of a recycled pid between
scan and signal on such systems.

Addressed in this commit: victims now carry Option<PidFd> — pidfd_open failure no longer drops the pid. Pinned fds keep the exact-instance signal path; unpinned pids fall back to plain kill with the TOCTOU caveat documented on kill_process_tree, so termination cannot silently degrade to a no-op on kernels < 5.3 or under seccomp.

… kill (AI-Shell-Team#487)

* feat(pty): live-session resource monitoring and targeted process-tree kill

Fixes the observability and termination gaps from AI-Shell-Team#482:

- aish-pty/resource.rs: /proc-based sampling of each live session's full
  worker tree (REPL -> bash -> tools) by parent-pid closure, immune to
  the setsid() done by each layer; kill_process_tree() collects the
  descendant set BEFORE signalling, then sweeps SIGTERM + SIGKILL so
  kill_live_sessions no longer leaves orphaned CPU burners behind
- daemon.rs: KillSession now terminates the whole worker tree via
  kill_process_tree instead of only the direct child
- resource_monitor: periodic REPL check (default 30s, configurable via
  pty_resource_check_interval_secs / _cpu_percent / _rss_mb) alerts when
  another detached session exceeds CPU/RSS thresholds; CPU is derived
  from the tick delta against the previous check so no sampling sleep
  ever blocks the REPL; 5-min per-session alert cooldown
- /live_sessions picker shows live CPU% and RSS per session
- glob tool: pruned DFS traversal (excludes target/node_modules/... at
  traversal level), 60s wall-clock budget, Ctrl+C cancellation via the
  session token, spawn_blocking off the async runtime; cancellation
  returns partial results as success so the agent does not retry into
  another cancelled walk

* fix(review): address CodeRabbit findings on PR AI-Shell-Team#487

- glob: absolute patterns now start the walk at the longest
  wildcard-free literal prefix instead of traversing the whole
  filesystem from / (restores old glob::glob behaviour); a missing
  literal prefix fails fast instead of scanning /
- glob: a timed-out walk with zero matches reports the timeout note
  instead of a definitive 'No files found.'
- kill_process_tree: re-derive the surviving descendant tree after the
  SIGTERM grace window so a recycled pid is never SIGKILLed

* fix(pty): validate process identity via start time before SIGKILL

PID-only membership cannot detect recycling: if the root (or any
victim) exits during the SIGTERM grace window and its pid is reassigned,
the SIGKILL sweep hits an unrelated process. Capture each victim's
/proc/<pid>/stat start time before signalling and revalidate it after
the grace window; a mismatch (or vanished pid) skips the SIGKILL.

* fix(pty): pin victims with pidfds so neither signal can hit a recycled pid

PID start-time checks only guarded the SIGKILL sweep; the SIGTERM sweep
still signalled raw pids from the initial /proc snapshot. Pin every
victim with pidfd_open BEFORE any signal and send both SIGTERM and
SIGKILL via pidfd_send_signal — a pidfd references the exact process
instance, so recycling is structurally impossible.

Fallback for pre-5.1 kernels (or seccomp-blocked syscalls): kill() only
when the pidfd's fdinfo Pid still matches the pid's /proc stat pid,
which proves the pid was not recycled between pin and signal.

* fix(pty): never drop a victim when pidfd_open is unavailable

filter_map discarded every pid whose pidfd_open failed (kernel < 5.3,
seccomp/container policy, EPERM), silently turning kill_process_tree
into a no-op — the exact runaway-session failure this PR targets.

Victims now carry Option<PidFd>: pinned fds use pidfd_send_signal with
an fdinfo identity cross-check on fallback; unpinned pids fall back to
plain kill, accepting the documented TOCTOU of a recycled pid between
scan and signal on such systems.
