OutputCollector.spillAll ran openSync/writeSync inside the stream 'data'
listener with no containment. When the private per-process spill directory
had been removed by a temporary-file cleaner, the first overflowing chunk
threw ENOENT from Pipe.onStreamRead, became an uncaught exception in the
Desktop Host, and the Electron shell reported it as a fatal failure.
Spilling is best-effort by contract (spillPath is optional; a failed final
close already withholds it). Every filesystem failure while opening or
appending the spill file now discards the spill, reports once through the
owner's logger, and leaves in-memory collection untouched. Spill inputs move
into one SpillOptions object with the reporter, so tail-only collectors no
longer pass an empty directory; prepareManagedProcessBinding is the explicit
resolve step for the directory and reporter defaults, and the runtime and
SSH helper supply their plugin loggers.
Tests cover ENOENT on open (removed directory), ENOTDIR on open, and ENOSPC
on append after the file exists, asserting the tail stays byte-exact, the
spill file is withdrawn, and the reporter fires once.
Second review round (ds-review-bot v4p/v5/v6): the exit cleanup claim that
collectors unlink their spill files on dispose was wrong — completed spill
files are retained (seal() only closes, discardSpill() is the only unlink),
so the exit removal only ever applies to directories that never spilled.
Reword the JSDoc, README, and Agent Note accordingly, drop the redundant
readdirSync precheck (rmdirSync ENOTEMPTY is caught anyway), and recount the
v8-ignore window. The spawn.spec default-spill test now records the default
per-process directory it created and removes it in afterAll, so a completed
spill file is never left behind by the unit suite.
The Agent Note now links the 2026-07-17 local-spill-startup-cleanup note it
builds on, and the privateSpillDir JSDoc documents the empty-dir exit
removal alongside the directory's creation contract.
Review (ds-review-bot) found the exit-time deletion of per-process spill
roots conflicts with the documented retention decision: spill artifacts are
model-visible locators that resumed or forked sessions may still reference
(2026-07-17-local-spill-startup-cleanup), and an exception thrown from an
'exit' listener can change the process exit code.
- dsh-spill-local: revert the exit handler entirely; its default root is
already owned by the package's 30-day startup sweep.
- dsh-subprocess-local/spawn: remove the per-process spill dir at a
JavaScript-observable exit only while it is EMPTY (collectors unlink
their spill files on dispose), best-effort with a named swallow so a
Windows-held handle never changes the exit code; dirs holding spill
files keep them for external cleanup.
- Document the empty-dir exit removal in the package README and the Agent
Note, and re-record both bilingual pairs.
The exit listener runs after the coverage dump, so its body can never be
measured by the unit coverage lane; mark it v8-ignore with the reason, as
with other process-exit-only code paths.
Spec files that create /tmp/dsh-* directories via mkdtemp now track and
delete them in afterEach/afterAll; module-scope fixture dirs (executor
spill dirs) are removed in afterAll. The file list came from the
observed-residue inventory on the self-hosted CI host: only specs whose
dirs actually accumulated were leak sources (issue #3134), superseding
the kept-but-unmerged CI sweep branch per the #3233 review decision.
Product per-process spill roots (dsh-subprocess-local spawn,
dsh-spill-local store) register a process-exit handler that removes the
memoized dir, so processes that used the spawn/spill path clean up on
normal exit. A SIGKILLed process cannot run in-process teardown; the
machine-side timer remains the backstop for that path.

The linear replay carried each commit's own lineage, so this checkpoint
restores the master-owned surfaces the conflicted regions clobbered and
migrates branch-owned code to master's post-rebase APIs:
- rebuild subprocess-local spawn.ts on master's tree-exit-observer
machinery, keeping the branch's win32 childEnv key semantics and the
Linux zombie-quiescence probe; the zombie test reaps its survivor
directly since a confirmed-absent verdict is a permanent
no-more-signals boundary
- migrate pty-local test stubs to the Inbox-model Agent interface,
Session.create, runnerFailureRules, and the new turn/start payload
- implement the seam's resolveExecutable/spawnTerminal abstracts in the
new pwsh-local and tool-fs-search test fakes
- restore code-runtime, atomic-write, pwsh-local, and app-boot to
master's exact content (the net-zero code-runtime churn is pruned
from this history) and drop rename-detection graft debris
- re-apply the PR's architecture rows and execution-world paragraph,
re-record bilingual pairings, regenerate catalogs, and reconcile the
lockfile
