fix(run): bail out of run --wait on a wall clock so system sleep can't hang it - #877
mattmillerai wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…n't hang it The local `--wait` watch loop bounded `ws.recv()` with a socket timeout enforced against a monotonic clock. That clock stops advancing while the machine sleeps (a laptop lid closed mid-run), so on wake the connection is often dead yet the timeout has under-counted the sleep and never fires — the CLI hangs indefinitely instead of reporting a timeout. Enforce the `--timeout` silence budget against the wall clock (`time.time()`), which does advance across sleep, and cap each `recv` at a short poll interval so the loop regains control regularly regardless of how large `--timeout` is. This mirrors the resilient waiters already in the codebase (the cloud `wait_for_completion` and `jobs watch`). On timeout the server-side job is still resumable, so the `ws_timeout` guidance now points users at `comfy jobs status <id>` and recommends `caffeinate` for long local batches.

Restrict caffeinate guidance to macOS.
The pretty timeout message is printed on every supported platform. The shared ws_timeout registry hint is also exposed through comfy discover. Neither site adds platform-specific rendering, so Linux and Windows users may receive guidance for an unavailable command.
Append (macOS) to both messages, matching the existing convention in comfy_cli/cmdline.py.

🟡 Medium — Basing the silence budget solely on time.time() makes it sensitive to every wall-clock discontinuity, not just suspend: a backward step (NTP correction — commonly right after a wake — VM resync, manual change) keeps time.time() - last_activity under the budget so the loop can block far past --timeout, reintroducing the very hang this change removes, while a forward step aborts a healthy in-flight run with a bogus ws_timeout. Track both clocks and bail when either elapsed value passes the budget (e.g. max(time.time() - wall_start, time.monotonic() - mono_start)) so a skewed wall clock can neither extend nor shorten the wait.

🟡 Medium — The comment above is wrong for control frames: WebSocket.recv() calls recv_data_frame(control_frame=False), which answers a PING with a PONG (and records a PONG) inside its own loop without ever returning, so ping/pong traffic never reaches this line and no longer resets last_activity. Under the old per-recv socket timeout each keepalive did refresh the idle timer, so a connection kept alive only by server- or proxy-injected pings during a long silent node (model load, VAE decode) now aborts at --timeout where it previously did not; use recv_data(control_frame=True) (or otherwise refresh on control frames) and fix the comment.

🟡 Medium — Charging suspend time against the silence budget also kills runs whose connection is fine: for the primary local/loopback case both processes freeze and resume together, so the TCP connection survives the sleep, and if the job happens to be in a quiet phase on wake the first poll expiry sees time.time() - last_activity well past the budget and raises — a run that previously resumed seamlessly is now aborted. Detect the suspend instead (wall-clock delta far exceeding the monotonic delta) and either re-baseline last_activity or probe liveness with a ping, so dead connections abort without taking live ones with them.

🟢 Low — Because the budget is only evaluated when a poll expires, the effective silence timeout is rounded up to the next multiple of 30s: --timeout 45 checks at 30s (under budget, continue) and again at 60s, so it aborts ~15s late while the caller still reports "timed out after 45s" (--timeout 100 waits ~120s). Recompute the socket timeout each iteration as min(remaining_budget, _RECV_POLL_SECONDS) so the abort lands on the requested deadline.

🟢 Low — The 30s cap bounds each underlying socket read, not the recv() call: websocket-client performs several reads while assembling a frame/message, so a peer that trickles bytes or fragments more often than every 30 seconds keeps this call blocked indefinitely and the wall-clock backstop below is never reached. That limitation predates this change, but it is worth noting since the poll interval is now advertised as the mechanism that regularly returns control — enforcing the deadline outside the blocking frame parser (e.g. select on the socket before reading) would make the bound real.

🟢 Low — This handler also catches the timeout raised by execution.connect(), where nothing was ever queued: _submitted_prompt_id(execution) a few lines below returns None and details carries no prompt_id, yet the new text (and the hint in the envelope) tells the user to check a job that does not exist. Gate both strings on the already-computed prompt_id is not None, which would also let them interpolate the real id instead of the literal <id> placeholder.

⚪ Nit — caffeinate is macOS-only, and unlike the --timeout help text in cmdline.py neither this message nor the ws_timeout hint in error_codes.py says so, leaving Linux/Windows users with a command that does not exist. Add the platform qualifier in both places. Raised by 1 of 6 reviewers (kimi-k3-high edge-case).

If you start
comfy run --waitand then close your laptop lid, the computerfreezes time. The old code measured its "the server has gone quiet, give up"
timeout with a stopwatch that also freezes while the laptop sleeps. So when
you woke the laptop back up and the connection was dead, the stopwatch had
barely moved and the timeout never went off — the command just hung (a reporter
saw a 40+ minute stall). This change measures that timeout against the real
wall clock instead, which keeps ticking through sleep, so on wake the command
gives up promptly and tells you the job may still be running server-side.
What changed
The local
--waitwatch loop (WorkflowExecution.watch_execution) boundedeach
ws.recv()with a socket timeout. A socket timeout is enforced against amonotonic clock, which stops advancing while the machine is asleep, so a
mid-run sleep could leave the loop blocked with a dead connection and no
timeout ever firing.
--timeout"server went silent" budget isnow enforced against
time.time()(wall clock), which advances across sleep.Any received frame resets it, exactly as the socket timeout used to, so a job
that keeps streaming progress still runs indefinitely.
recvis now capped at a 30 s poll(
_RECV_POLL_SECONDS) independent of--timeout, so the loop regains controlregularly and re-checks the wall clock even when
--timeoutis large.the
ws_timeoutmessage/hint (and the--timeouthelp text) now point usersat
comfy jobs status <id>and recommendcaffeinatefor long local batches.This mirrors the resilient waiters already in this codebase — the cloud
ComfyClient.wait_for_completionandcomfy jobs watchboth already use awall-clock deadline; the local
run --waitpath was the outlier.Suggested-solution coverage
The report suggested three things. Two are done here; the third is scoped out
(see Residual):
caffeinatefor long local batches — added to the--timeouthelp, thews_timeouthint, and the pretty-mode message.implemented here; see Residual.
Testing
ruff check .— all checks passed.ruff format --check .— clean (906 files).pytest tests/comfy_cli/command/test_run.py— 149 passed, including 3 newtests: wall-clock backstop aborts after a simulated sleep, a poll-interval

changes
git stashed away (environment-sensitive: umask, installed packageversions, port fallback). They touch none of the code this PR changes.
Residual
Not fixed here, and worth a follow-up:
run --waitbail cleanly on wake and directs the user tocomfy jobs status <id>; it does not automatically reconcile the jobstatus and resume/complete on the user's behalf. The pattern already exists in
this repo —
comfy jobs watch(seecomfy_cli/command/jobs.py) does astatus-snapshot reconcile GET on each
recvtimeout and finalizes if the jobcompleted while disconnected — so a follow-up could give
run --waitthe samereconcile-on-timeout behavior. It was kept out of this PR because
run --waitis deliberately the "no background watcher, this process is the watcher"
path with carefully-ordered state-file finalization, so adding a reconcile
step there is a larger, separately-reviewable change.
end-to-end: the sandbox is Linux with no macOS host, no running ComfyUI
server, and no way to trigger a real lid-close/sleep, so the fix is verified
by unit tests that simulate the frozen-monotonic-clock condition rather than
by a live sleep repro. The report's linked internal Slack thread is also not
reachable from the sandbox, so any additional detail it carries was not
incorporated.
