Summary

  • keep stdio workers connected while the Registry interface-collection process is running
  • forward termination signals to the child process for deterministic cleanup
  • add a workflow regression check for the wrapper

Validation

  • python3 -m pytest -q .github/scripts/tests/test_release_workflows.py
  • workflow YAML parse
  • extracted interface-collection shell bash -n
  • git diff --check

Refs MOT-4299

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved registry publishing reliability by keeping interface-collection workers running correctly during the workflow.
    • Added graceful shutdown handling for worker processes, with forced termination as a fallback.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage to verify workers remain active and handle termination signals properly.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The registry publishing workflow now starts binary, bundle, and Cargo workers with open stdin through a signal-aware subprocess wrapper. A regression test verifies the required stdin and termination handling.

Changes

Registry worker lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Worker process wrapper
.github/workflows/_publish-registry.yml
The workflow adds start_worker_with_open_stdin, which keeps stdin open, forwards signals, waits for graceful exit, force-kills after 10 seconds, and propagates the child status.
Worker startup integration and regression coverage
.github/workflows/_publish-registry.yml, .github/scripts/tests/test_release_workflows.py
Binary, bundle, and Cargo workers use the wrapper. The regression test checks open-stdin startup and signal handling.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1a282

The release workflow may leave worker descendants running after termination because cleanup signals only the direct child process. This can cause lingering processes and nondeterministic cleanup, so the PR should be updated before merge; the regression test should also verify every worker path and signal-forwarding behavior.

Poem

A rabbit guards the worker’s stream,
With stdin open through every dream.
Signals hop from shell to child,
Graceful exits stay neat and mild.
If time runs out, the process is gone—
The registry carries on.

Assert the required startup integrations and signal forwarding.

The assertions pass if start_worker_with_open_stdin is defined but unused by the binary, bundle, and Cargo branches. They also pass if the SIGTERM handler stops signaling the child process group.

Assert the three wrapper call sites and the forwarding operation. Update the forwarding assertion to match the process-group implementation.

Terminate the complete worker process group.

The cleanup step signals only worker.pid, and the wrapper forwards that signal only to the direct child. Use start_new_session=True, then call os.killpg(child.pid, signum) and os.killpg(child.pid, signal.SIGKILL) in the shutdown paths. Apply this to the binary, bundle, and Cargo workers.
