docs(devlog): design for a Windows service stop that frees the port - #8546
This is a docs-only design for issue #7771's remaining part: a Windows stop that reliably waits until the proxy port is actually free (Option B). Nothing is implemented. The owner decided to approve the design before any implementation starts.
The unit lives at devlog/_plan/261111_windows_service_stop/:
010 Current stop paths, source-backed: the wrapper :loop respawns the proxy; every Windows stop path (ocx stop both paths, ocx uninstall, /api/stop, ocx service stop, service uninstall, install/switch, the updater) can see a survivor but none can free the port.
020 Options: B1 a checked stop, B2 plus disabling the task, C a cooperative wrapper stop token, A the status quo; kills by image name or port and automatic elevation are ruled out.
030 Recommended design (B1):
Part A (manager and wrappers): registration probe, bind, ask the manager (schtasks /end, or a non-waiting WinSW stop with a capped SCM poll), terminate only bound wrapper processes (wscript/cscript/cmd with this home's path token, lineage and creation time) through a handle-based terminate, wait on handles. Outcomes absent / stopped / survived / denied / unknown.
Part B (caller, after its graceful child stop): the port stays free for a 6 s hold, then one final scan for relaunched wrappers; a remaining listener is ours (survived) or foreign (portHeldByForeign).
Time budget:ocx stop --deadline-ms, an admission check before anything changes (unverified-budget otherwise), every later step capped; worst cases 48 s (consented takeover), 56 s (plain stop), 42 s (WinSW). Desktop's Windows exit-drain deadline is proposed to rise from 30 s to 75 s.
ARM64: a bounded fallback is recommended; the strict variant and an Add-Type option are listed for the owner.
040 Verification: hermetic tests on any CI host, plus a real Windows device matrix (elevated tasks, npm vs bundled, trigger races, WinSW, slow startup, ARM64).
050 Risks, compatibility and rollout.
Refs #7771. The issue stays open until the design is approved and implemented.
Verification
Eleven independent review rounds against origin/dev source; final fresh review APPROVE on 9a6c94d73d. All CodeRabbit threads answered.
bun run privacy:scan and bun run structure:check: pass. devlog/ is public; the unit contains only details already public in the issue and source.
Every table row has its header's cell count (checked by script and GitHub rendering).
NOT RUN: tests (docs only); Windows real device (needed for the implementation, listed in 040).
Checklist
Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.
Design only, for owner approval; nothing is implemented. Option B from the 2026-10-28 design comment as one checked stop shared by ocx stop and ocx service stop, with explicit stopped/survived/denied/unknown outcomes, bound per-installation identities, and a verification plan that separates hermetic tests from real Windows device checks.
Refs #7771
This PR adds six planning documents for a proposed checked Windows service-stop operation. They describe current behavior, compare design options, and specify a stop flow, expected outcomes, verification scenarios, and rollout steps. The documents state that implementation awaits approval.

lidge-jun/opencodex#7154 — This PR adds best-effort wrapper cleanup to Windows update recovery. The design specifies checked stopping for the updater path.
lidge-jun/opencodex#7474 — This PR adds wrapper cleanup to service installation preparation. The design includes checked wrapper stopping in install and backend-switch paths.
lidge-jun/opencodex#8416 — This PR changes Windows scheduler restart cleanup. The design addresses the same wrapper-respawn and port-occupation behavior.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 22265
This is a design-only change with no runtime effect. The proposed stop flow has timing and teardown-ordering gaps that could report a successful stop while a wrapper can still relaunch the proxy, or overrun its deadline. Resolve these in the design before approving implementation.

- Line 16: Update the termination design in “Terminate bound survivors only” to
require identity validation and termination through the same process handle,
preventing PID reuse between those operations. Specify that the PowerShell
fallback must provide equivalent handle-bound semantics; do not rely on
Stop-Process by PID after a separate identity check.
- Line 16: Update step 3 to request a graceful stop for the bound child through
the existing `ocx stop` path and `stopWithDeferral` after preventing wrapper
relaunch, then wait for the drain deadline. Preserve receipt-backed teardown
deferral and refusal handling; use guarded forced termination only as a bounded
fallback when graceful stopping fails and force is permitted.
- Line 7: Update the `stopped` definition around
`observeWindowsGuardedManagerStopped` to require proof that every bound survivor
has exited, not merely that the manager is inactive and the recorded port is
unresponsive. Define how the check accounts for a replacement child launched
between binding and wrapper termination, and require a non-success outcome
whenever survivor exit cannot be proved.
- Line 17: Update the Observe step around observeWindowsGuardedManagerStopped
and proxyIdentityAt to check port availability independently for each relevant
listen address; treat an occupied port or an unreadable availability check as
non-success, and include verification with a non-HTTP foreign listener occupying
the port.
- Line 15: Update the manager-stop design to retain the registration identity
established in step 1 and compare it with a fresh identity immediately before
stopping the manager. If the identity changed or cannot be read, return unknown
without stopping the manager or terminating bound processes; preserve the
existing Task Scheduler and WinSW stop behavior when identities match.

Require surviving processes to exit before reporting stopped.
A bound child can remain alive while its port does not answer. For example, it can still be starting after its wrapper exits. The proposed checks can then report stopped, even though the child can later claim the port.
Require proof that all bound survivors have exited. Also define how to detect a replacement child launched between binding and wrapper termination. Return a non-success outcome if its exit cannot be proved.

1. Bind. Read the registration (`windowsTaskRegistrationIsOurs` / WinSW binary path), the running wrapper PIDs that carry this home's canonical launcher/script paths as complete tokens, and the proxy child (`readPid` identity plus ancestor chain to a bound wrapper). Record each as (pid, process start time, command-line digest). Unreadable command line for a candidate under the bound manager makes the whole operation `unknown` rather than skipping it (fixes the silent skip in the current cleanup).

If the registration changes after step 1, schtasks /end can stop a replacement task that was not bound to this operation. The guarded path in src/cli/stop-approval.ts:199-213 revalidates the manager before stopping it, though it does not directly compare registration identity.
Require a registration identity comparison before the manager stop. This reduces the race window; a change after the comparison remains possible.

Terminate through the same process handle used for identity checks.
A PID can be reused after revalidation but before termination. The PowerShell fallback has this gap because Stop-Process acts on the PID after the earlier check. It can terminate an unrelated replacement process.
Open a process handle, check its creation time and identity through that handle, and terminate through the same handle. Require equivalent semantics for the fallback.

Preserve graceful child shutdown before forced termination.
If the child survives schtasks /end, step 3 can terminate it without allowing /api/stop to drain in-flight turns. The existing guarded ocx stop path requests that drain through stopWithDeferral.
After preventing wrapper relaunch, request a graceful stop for the bound child and wait for its drain deadline. Preserve the receipt-backed teardown deferral and refusal handling. Use forced termination only as a bounded fallback when the graceful stop fails and force is permitted.

Check port availability separately from proxy identity.
An identity-checked proxy probe cannot prove that the port is free. A non-HTTP listener, or another process that does not answer that probe, can still occupy it. The operation could report stopped while a subsequent ocx start cannot bind.
Add a port-availability check for the relevant listen addresses. Treat an occupied port or an unreadable check as a non-success result, and cover a non-HTTP foreign listener in verification.

…aths
Who calls which stop (stopWindowsChecked serves ocx stop, uninstall and /api/stop; the updater uses guardedStopWindows), the post-stop checks that already exist, an explicit binding rule including the stray wrapper, a creation-time reader and handle-based terminate as named new work, and the outcome mapping onto ServiceStopOutcome, ocx-stop/1, /api/stop and Desktop.
Refs #7771
…-stop/1 values
The checked stop never hard-kills the proxy child: it keeps the graceful stop, its drain, the teardown-deferral receipt and the refusal rule, after the operation has ended the manager and wrappers. The outcome table uses only existing outcome/proxy values per path (respawned is a proxy value under outcome failed), plus additive fields. Also: the scheduler service host as a launcher parent, a minimum observation window replacing the respawnable re-poll, and the updater authorizer before each terminate.
Refs #7771
…a caller port check
Callers stop the child after the service stop and /api/stop runs inside the proxy, so the port check moves to the caller after its graceful child stop. Adds ocx service uninstall/remove and prepareServiceInstall to the covered paths, proves the scheduler parent through the Schedule service PID, compares parent creation times, states the unbound-wrapper outcome and the deadlines, keeps WinSW updater behavior, and resolves ARM64 with a recommended bounded fallback (owner choice).
Refs #7771
…p, close the binding gaps
Part B now also replaces the uninstall respawn-window check and runs after the guarded settle (kept); non-stopped outcomes abort before destructive steps; /api/stop with a receipt skips part A; worst-case budgets per caller (28 s against Desktop 30 s); descendant of a BOUND wrapper and an explicit choice for hand-started copies; the guarded inspection gains a bound-stray state; new work and the async return type listed; ARM64 fallback residuals stated; stale deadline and caller counts fixed.

1. Image name is `wscript.exe`, `cscript.exe` or `cmd.exe` (wrapper). The proxy child is identified for observation and lineage only; it is never a terminate target of this operation.
2. Its command line contains this home's canonical launcher VBS or service script path as a complete token.
3. Lineage: it is an ancestor of the identity-checked child (`readPid()` identity), or a descendant of a BOUND wrapper, or its parent is gone (a parent PID whose creation time is later than the wrapper's counts as gone), is another bound wrapper, or is the Task Scheduler service host, proven by matching the Schedule service's process ID from the SCM (after `/end` the launcher `wscript.exe` usually still has it as parent). A wrapper that matches 1–2 but fails lineage (for example a launcher started by hand from a shell) is not terminated, and neither is its `cmd.exe` child (not a descendant of a bound wrapper); the outcome is `survived` with reason `unbound-wrapper` if either is still alive at the end of part A, and the output names the manual step. Ending a hand-started copy is left to the operator by design. For the stray-wrapper case (#764, task not running) this binds the launcher and, as its descendant, the `cmd.exe` running the `:loop`; ending either stops the relaunch.

Do not treat an orphaned manual wrapper as bound.
A manually launched wrapper whose shell has exited meets the “parent is gone” condition. The design therefore permits its termination, although this paragraph says manually launched copies are left to the operator. Require evidence that distinguishes a scheduler-owned stray from an orphaned manual copy; return unknown or unbound-wrapper when that evidence is unavailable.

Addressed in bb02c85: the parent-gone clause now applies only while this home's task is registered, so with no registered task an orphan is unbound. Under a registered task an orphan cannot be told apart from a scheduler-owned stray, and both relaunch this home's proxy; that is recorded as the accepted residual.
@lidge-jun Thanks for documenting the accepted risk when the task is registered. I understand that this is a design choice.
One wording issue remains. In devlog/_plan/261111_windows_service_stop/030_design.md Line 32, the parent-gone clause requires a registered task, but another lineage condition can still bind an orphan without one. For example, the wrapper may be an ancestor of the identity-checked child.
Could you qualify the statement that an orphan is never bound without a registered task? The test case in 040_verification.md Line 15 needs the same qualification.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 4 remain after this review.
UX change: none in this PR (docs under devlog/_plan/). The proposed implementation would make some stops report failure where they used to report success over a respawning wrapper, and raises Desktop's Windows exit-drain wait to 75 s; both are listed in 050.
Regression evidence: no code changes; macOS/Linux paths are out of scope by design.
Windows impact: design only. Implementation requires the device matrix in 040 (x64 npm and bundled, elevated task, ARM64 or an explicit owner deferral).
Verification scope: eleven review rounds, final fresh review APPROVE on 9a6c94d73d; privacy and structure gates pass. Non-blocking note from the final review for the implementation PR: say whether the two step-1 registration probes share one 2 s cap or run concurrently (it only affects sizing; admission refuses rather than overruns).
