Windows ConPTY resources currently belong to one server process. This adds the native ownership and IO pause/transfer primitives needed to retain a running pane across server replacement. The public Windows live-handoff capability stays disabled until #3715 connects these primitives to server replacement.

The bundled ConPTY backend transfers six owned handles, including the actual pane child-process handle. Accepted input drains before export; imported actors remain paused until activation; rollback resumes the source; commit releases its ownership. Failed adoption cleans up transferred handles, and dropping the writer still delivers EOF while the master remains alive.

This PR targets master independently of #3687 and #3713. It preserves the five reviewed foundation/fix commits and adapts their existing prerequisite allowances to master's test-target linting. Unix actor/backend code, installer and desktop-start behavior are outside this diff. The shared pane handoff wrappers remain shared where their behavior is the same.

Validation:

  • Full just check: 2,947 Rust tests passed, 5 skipped, plus 106 maintenance checks, architecture and Bun/docs checks.
  • Explicit native bundled-ConPTY transfer test passed (8.50s): partial/unsupported adoption cleanup, writer EOF, rollback, commit, unchanged child PID, Unicode IO, resize and exit status.
  • One deslop pass completed: replaced two unsafe Child-handle conversions with standard-library AsHandle. Final dual FAST signoff clean.
  • Reproduced and fixed pause completion overwriting concurrent shutdown; both successful and failed pause completion now preserve the terminal state. All 11 Windows actor tests pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Windows bundled ConPTY process handoff support. The change loads ConptyPackPseudoConsole, transfers and reconstructs PTY and child-process handles, and adds Windows handle cancellation and duplication helpers. The PTY actor now uses lifecycle states for quiescing, draining, rollback, activation, release, and shutdown. Pane runtime methods expose Windows handoff operations. Tests cover handoff ordering, cleanup, rollback, resizing, Unicode I/O, and child exit status. CI runs the bundled ConPTY handoff test.

Suggested reviewers: ogulcancelik

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to befec

A writable ConPTY bundle can be replaced after verification, allowing unverified code to load. This should be addressed before merge.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The reviewed changes appear safe to merge, with the shutdown race now preserving terminal actor states and no accepted new defects.

Summary

  • Adds a Windows PTY actor lifecycle for quiescing input and output, duplicating transferable resources, rolling back, activating, and committing ownership.
  • Extends the bundled ConPTY backend to transfer six owned handles, including the pane child-process handle, with adoption-failure cleanup.
  • Adds Windows handle duplication, remote-process cleanup, and synchronous reader cancellation primitives.
  • Adds focused actor and native bundled-ConPTY transfer coverage, including shutdown races and resource cleanup.
  • The latest fix prevents an in-flight pause completion from resurrecting an actor after concurrent shutdown.

876-882: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the admission spin with a short sleep.

When the 1024-entry data_tx queue is full, run_input_forwarder can remain in std::thread::sleep(delay) while begin_handoff waits up to one second. On Windows, yield_now() can return without blocking, so this loop can consume substantial CPU. Use a 1 ms sleep for bounded polling.

- Around line 164-166: The ConPtyMasterPty::from_handoff path must preserve
ownership of handles in slots 2–4 when ConptyPackPseudoConsole is unavailable.
Ensure the handles are wrapped in OwnedHandle before the capability lookup can
fail, or explicitly close them on that error path, and document that
from_raw_handles sets close_on_drop while duplicate_for_handoff does not because
it creates handles in the target process.

@greptileai

Please review the ownership follow-up at befecff. All four prior findings are fixed and answered inline. Focused actor regressions and the expanded native six-handle tests failed before the fixes and pass afterward; full just check passed 2,849 Rust tests and all repository gates. The admission-spin nit is deferred because no CPU regression was demonstrated.

@Pimpmuckl Reviewed commit befecffef90bcc2123b464f4a451e4bf6d8f8a98.

I found no new correctness issues.

The follow-up retains the input handle until ConPtyWriter drops. This preserves the source handle for transfer while the actor writer is active. The release path then closes source input after commit.

The handoff cleanup paths now cover partial duplication and unsupported adoption. The actor also blocks new input, terminal responses, and resize work after it enters Quiescing.

The added tests cover the changed ownership and cancellation paths. I could not independently run the Windows test suite in this sandbox.

@coderabbitai Disposition for the outside-diff bundle-loader comment in review 5133431402: the hash verification and pathname-loading sequence is unchanged from this PR's desktop base 1a53b82c. The foundation adds the bundled Pack symbol and handle-transfer operations; befecffe only moves handle ownership before the Pack capability lookup. No installer ACL or privilege boundary is changed here.

The reported attacker already needs write access to the app-local installation, which also permits replacing the executable. No new trust boundary or new reachable risk is demonstrated by this change. The task owner has explicitly kept this existing loader-policy hardening outside the foundation's scope. No source change is needed for this finding.

@Pimpmuckl Thanks for the disposition.

I verified the follow-up diff. It only moves raw-handle adoption before the ConptyPackPseudoConsole capability lookup in PsuedoCon::from_handoff.

The hash verification, bundle layout checks, and LoadLibraryExW pathname-loading sequence are unchanged by that commit. This PR does not add the reported installation-directory trust boundary.

I withdraw the outside-diff bundle-loader finding. No source change is required for this PR.

@Pimpmuckl Reviewed pull request #3714.

I found no new correctness issues.

The ownership follow-up retains the input handle until ConPtyWriter drops. It closes the source input handle after commit. The failure paths close transferred handles after partial adoption and unsupported adoption.

The Windows actor handles delayed ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED after rollback. The CI workflow now runs the bundled six-handle transfer test.

I also applied the existing loader-policy scope guidance. This review does not treat the unchanged app-local loader policy as part of this handoff change.

I could not run the Windows tests in this sandbox.

Learning: In the Windows bundled ConPTY implementation, the hash-verification and app-local pathname-loading policy pre-dates the Windows handoff foundation. The handoff changes add `ConptyPackPseudoConsole` support and handle-transfer operations, but do not change the app-local installation trust boundary. Treat installer ACL and loader-policy hardening as separate work unless a change modifies that boundary.

Please review standalone head e6cb032 against master. #3714 no longer depends on installer #3687 or desktop hosting #3713; #3715 remains draft above it.

The original five foundation/ownership commits are preserved. Follow-ups adapt prerequisite allowances to master's test-target linting, replace two unsafe Child-handle conversions with AsHandle, and fix a reproduced race where pause completion overwrote concurrent Shutdown. Terminal-state transitions now reject that overwrite under the shared lock, including rollback/activation/release.

Full just check passed 2,947 Rust tests plus maintenance/architecture/docs checks; all 11 Windows actor tests and the explicit native six-handle transfer test passed. The native test covers partial/unsupported adoption cleanup, writer EOF, rollback/commit, unchanged child PID, Unicode, resize and exit status. Dual local FAST signoff is clean and one deslop pass is complete. Public Windows live handoff remains disabled until #3715.

@Pimpmuckl Reviewed standalone head e6cb032d against master (d184b41).

I found no new correctness issues.

The final follow-up uses AsHandle for the two Child handle conversions. The actor state lock now rejects transitions from Released and Shutdown. This prevents an in-flight pause completion, rollback, activation, or release from overwriting terminal state.

The ownership flow retains the input source until ConPtyWriter drops. The cleanup paths cover partial duplication and failed or unsupported adoption. The Windows actor blocks new input, terminal responses, and resize work while it quiesces.

git diff --check reports no whitespace errors.

I could not run the Windows test suite or just check in this sandbox.
