Summary

  • Retry synchronous Antigravity (agy) dispatch exactly once after exit 139 (SIGSEGV).
  • Keep both attempts inside the caller's original wall-clock timeout, with a conservative whole-second precision margin.
  • Preserve signal stderr as mode-0600 diagnostic artifacts and link them from agent status, including recovered calls.
  • Use unique temporary files so concurrent synchronous dispatches do not collide.
  • Preserve existing degraded-classification reasons when a retry recovers.

Verification

  • tests/unit/test-agent-sync-signal-retry.sh: 6/6
  • tests/unit/test-agent-timeout-budget.sh: 7/7
  • tests/unit/test-consultative-agent-dispatch.sh: 8/8
  • tests/unit/test-agent-output-cap.sh: 14/14
  • tests/unit/test-agy-provider.sh: 50/50
  • CI=true GITHUB_ACTIONS=true make ci-changed: full local matrix passed on the implementation commit before the docs-only main update; rerun on the reconciled exact head is recorded below before push.

Independent review

  • Antigravity review returned no findings.
  • Codex and Claude independently identified missing no-timeout-extension coverage and a fractional-second overrun risk; both were reproduced, fixed, and covered by regression tests.
  • Retaining the private crash artifacts is intentional: they are durable diagnostic evidence, not temporary transport files.

Closes #943

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Synchronous Antigravity runs now retry once after intermittent segmentation faults without extending the original timeout.
    • Repeated crashes stop after one retry, while other provider failures remain non-retriable.
    • Error output and diagnostic links are preserved for signal-terminated runs, including successful retries.
    • Recovered runs are reported as degraded when applicable, with clearer status details when output is truncated or unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Synchronous agent execution now retries Antigravity once after exit 139 within the original timeout. Signal stderr is saved as restricted artifacts and included in status records. Recovered crashes are reported as degraded. Bash tests cover retry, timeout, artifact, and classification behavior.

Changes

Antigravity signal retry handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deadline-bounded retry execution
scripts/lib/agent-sync.sh, tests/unit/test-agent-sync-signal-retry.sh
Synchronous dispatch tracks an absolute deadline and calculates bounded attempt timeouts. Antigravity retries once after exit 139. Temporary output and error files use unique identifiers. Tests validate timeout calculations, retry limits, deadline enforcement, and caller shell-option behavior.
Signal artifacts and outcome status
scripts/lib/agent-sync.sh, tests/unit/test-agent-sync-signal-retry.sh, CHANGELOG.md, AI_AGENT_HANDOFF.md
Signal stderr artifacts propagate through failure, skipped, degraded, and completed status records. Recovered crashes are marked degraded, including classification failures, while existing classifier reasons remain. Tests validate artifact retention and status metadata. Changelog and handoff records describe the behavior and audit state.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 78cfb

The change retries synchronous SIGSEGV exits within the original timeout and preserves diagnostics; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Hosted CI on d79af5b3 exposed a Linux-only false failure in the new regression fixture. Root cause was verified from both failing job logs: GNU stat -f reports filesystem metadata rather than a file mode, although the artifact itself was correctly 0600.

Fixed in 78cfb826 by probing GNU stat -c '%a' first and falling back to BSD stat -f '%Lp'. Fresh verification on exact head 78cfb826a56e465db99fff8ce47f61855819f399:

  • signal-retry regression: 8/8
  • fail-closed make ci-changed: 281/281 unit suites and 7/7 integration suites, ending with ALL TESTS PASSED
  • git diff --check: clean
  • mode summary: only the expected new executable regression fixture

No production behavior changed in this follow-up commit.

Found 2 issue(s):

[NORMAL] SIGSEGV retry/artifact fix (#943) does not apply when persistence is disabled
scripts/lib/agent-sync.sh:373
When OCTOPUS_PERSISTENCE_AVAILABLE=false, run_agent_sync returns early via octopus_run_provider_without_persistence (scripts/lib/state-root.sh:45) before reaching the new retry loop added at lines 437-486. That fallback makes a single run_with_timeout call with no signal-code check and no retry, so an AGY dispatch that hits the intermittent exit-139 SIGSEGV described in issue #943 still fails on the first occurrence in this mode, and no crash stderr artifact is preserved. The fix is silently incomplete for a documented, still-supported degraded mode.

[NIT] Every signal-terminated exit, including ordinary SIGTERM timeouts, permanently persists a crash artifact
scripts/lib/agent-sync.sh:467
The artifact-capture check exit_code -ge 128 && exit_code -le 192 also matches exit 143 (SIGTERM), the normal outcome of run_with_timeout enforcing an ordinary timeout (separately classified at line 559 as "Timed out before completion"). So every plain timeout across every provider now also writes a permanent 0600 sync-failure-*.stderr.log file that is never cleaned up. In an environment with frequent timeouts this accumulates indefinitely in RESULTS_DIR with no retention/rotation policy, conflating routine timeouts with the crash-diagnostic mechanism intended for SIGSEGV-style failures.
