Conversation
Implements issue #649. Two independent parts behind feature flags: Part A (default ON, OPENCHROME_IDLE_ADAPTIVE=0 disables): - New src/utils/idle-state.ts tracks last-active timestamp (RPC + CDP). - Each of 8 monitors (EventLoop, ChromeProcessWatchdog, TabHealth, ChromeProcessMonitor, Disk, BrowserStateManager, SessionStatePersistence) migrated from setInterval to setTimeout chain, re-scheduling at end of each tick with active-rate or idle-rate delay per issue #649 §3.1. - After 5 min of silence, timers drop to configured idle rates (≤10x slower); next RPC or CDP event restores active rate within one tick. Part B (opt-in via --idle-timeout=<duration> or OPENCHROME_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS): - New src/utils/idle-timeout.ts. On tick, if idle AND sessionCount=0, invokes enhancedShutdown('idle-timeout') -> process.exit(0). - Duration parser rejects bare numbers; requires ms/s/m/h suffix. In-scope prerequisite per issue §2: - enhancedShutdown now carries a shuttingDown reentrancy guard so the PPID watcher (PR #645) and idle-timeout cannot double-invoke shutdown. Tests: - tests/utils/idle-state.test.ts (new, all §5.2 cases). - tests/utils/idle-timeout.test.ts (new, all §5.3 cases). - tests/watchdog/idle-adaptive-monitors.test.ts (new, per-monitor rate and ratio checks). - tests/integration/idle-adaptive-monitoring.test.ts (new). - tests/integration/idle-timeout.test.ts (new). - tests/integration/shutdown-reentrancy.test.ts (new, double-trigger test). - scripts/bench-idle.mjs (new, CPU + heapUsed growth bench). Known test migration pending: - 22 pre-existing monitor tests across 6 suites assert setInterval-specific semantics (e.g. "start() schedules via setInterval"). The monitors still fire at identical active-mode cadence, but these tests need migration to setTimeout-chain-aware assertions. PR is opened as DRAFT while that migration is completed. New tests (39 passing) already cover the new behaviour end-to-end.
The draft idle-adaptive branch relaxed monitors immediately on process start, which broke the intended quiet-window semantics and left legacy timing tests asserting the wrong observable behavior. This change treats process startup as the initial active edge and updates the timer-focused suites to validate the timeout-chain scheduler against that contract. The result keeps the adaptive feature intact while restoring a releasable test baseline. Constraint: Adaptive monitors must not regress into immediate idle cadence on startup Rejected: Disable idle-adaptive mode in tests globally | would hide the startup-semantics bug instead of fixing it Confidence: high Scope-risk: moderate Reversibility: clean Directive: Keep idle-state semantics and timer tests aligned; if startup behavior changes again, update both together Tested: npx jest tests/utils/idle-state.test.ts tests/browser-state/snapshot.test.ts tests/watchdog/chrome-monitor.test.ts tests/utils/idle-timeout.test.ts tests/watchdog/idle-adaptive-monitors.test.ts --runInBand Not-tested: Cross-platform CI rerun after pushing the branch

Closes #649.
Opened as DRAFT because 22 pre-existing monitor tests assert
`setInterval`-specific semantics and need migration to `setTimeout`-chain-aware
assertions. The production code is complete and all new tests pass (39 tests
across 3 new unit suites). See Known Limitations below.
Summary
Two independent parts behind feature flags:
no MCP RPC and no CDP event for 5 minutes, all 8 long-lived monitors switch
to relaxed tick rates (≤10× slower). Restored to active rates within one
tick on the next RPC or CDP event. Disable with `OPENCHROME_IDLE_ADAPTIVE=0`.
When set, the server cleanly `process.exit(0)` after the specified window
of no RPCs AND no active sessions. Default OFF (zero change from today).
In-scope prerequisite: `enhancedShutdown` reentrancy guard
Verified absent on `develop`: `grep -rn 'shuttingDown' src/` returned zero hits.
Without it, PR #645's PPID watcher and this PR's idle-timeout could double-invoke
shutdown if they fire in the same tick. Added a `shuttingDown` boolean guard at
the top of `enhancedShutdown` (commit part of this PR) so the second entrant
returns immediately. Test `tests/integration/shutdown-reentrancy.test.ts` exercises
the double-trigger path.
Acceptance criteria (from issue #649 §4)
Part A
Part B
Pre-merge checklist
5.1 Static / hygiene
5.2–5.4 New test suites (all green)
5.5–5.7 Integration tests (added; to be re-verified after test-migration fix)
5.8 HTTP / daemon-mode regression
5.9 Memory / benchmark gate
5.10 Cross-platform CI
Known Limitations (why this is DRAFT)
6 pre-existing monitor test suites assert `setInterval`-specific behaviour that
no longer holds after the `setTimeout`-chain migration (which is itself required
by issue §3.1 to actually reduce CPU, per the critic pass on the issue):
Example: `ChromeProcessMonitor.start() schedules periodic sampling via setInterval`
uses `jest.advanceTimersByTime(1000)` twice and expects 2 sequential execFile
calls. With `setTimeout`-chain the first tick's async body hasn't resolved
`scheduleNext()` before the second `advanceTimersByTime` fires, so the
counter stays at 2. Fix: insert `await Promise.resolve()` (or
`jest.runAllTimersAsync()`) between time advances so microtasks flush
and the next `setTimeout` is registered.
The monitors still fire at byte-for-byte identical cadence in active mode
(acceptance criterion 3); only the internal mechanism changed. Migrating
these 22 cases is mechanical but spans 6 files. Tracked as a follow-up
commit on this branch before removing DRAFT status.
Trade-off decision (for reviewer)
The alternative to `setTimeout`-chain is `setInterval` + early-return on
idle. That would preserve the existing tests but keeps the timer wake rate
at the active cadence on idle (e.g. 5 wakes/sec for EventLoopMonitor even
while idle). The critic pass on issue #649 explicitly rejected the no-op
approach because it doesn't meet criterion 5 (≥30% CPU reduction). If the
maintainer prefers the less-invasive early-return approach, the existing tests
stay green and the only change is the idle CPU number.
