PR 3 of #1562 (after #1662, #1670 and #1674): the gaps left after the first two.

GeoLibre steps of models and scripts run in the background. The copy a model or script runs
ahead on stopped at any external tool, so a GeoLibre step, and every step after it, ran holding the
window. GeoLibre's program writes the outputs it declares to a scratch folder of its own and hands
them back, so its step now runs ahead and is taken as a built-in tool's is. Plugin tools still stop
the copy (a plugin's program may do more than hand back its layers, so it runs once), and so do
tools that write files.

Cancel stops a GeoLibre program. The runner used to wait for the program to end and then drop
its result. It now polls the program and kills it when the run is cancelled or its project is
closed (output_until in crates/geolibre/src/runner.rs).

raster.spectral with a zone counts its rows and looks at Cancel between them. Nothing in the
app runs that command under a control yet (the Image Analysis pane asks only for points); its doc
comment says so. The means are summed in order on one thread, so they stay the same on every
machine.

Docs: the Tools pane's Cancel for GeoLibre, and the model and script paragraphs on what runs in the
background, in docs/user-guide/analysis.md.

Tests:

  • a_program_asked_to_stop_is_killed (runner, Unix): a sleep 30 is killed at once.
  • a_models_geolibre_step_runs_ahead_and_is_taken (engine, with the geolibre feature; skips without
    a runner): the step is taken from the copy, not run again.
  • zonal_means tests, plus one that cancels a zone's means.

No visible UI change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • GeoLibre tools can run in the background alongside built-in tools during model runs, with results reused in the live session. Outputs are staged separately until added to the project.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Canceling an analysis now stops GeoLibre tools promptly and interrupts zonal calculations in progress.
    • Zone analysis reports when no pixels fall within the selected zone.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the analysis guide with details on background execution, cancellation, staged outputs, and cases that still run synchronously.

…und; Cancel stops a GeoLibre program (opengeos#1562 PR 3)

The known gaps from opengeos#1562:

- GeoLibre steps: the copy a model or script runs ahead on stopped at any external tool, so a
  GeoLibre step, and every step after it, ran holding the window. GeoLibre's program writes the
  outputs it declares to a scratch folder of its own and hands them back, so its step now runs
  ahead and is taken as a built-in tool's is. Plugin tools still stop the copy: a plugin's
  program may do more than hand back its layers, so it runs once, where the user ran it. Tools
  that write files still stop it, so nothing is written twice.
- Cancel: a GeoLibre run's program is killed when the run is cancelled or its project is
  closed, instead of running to the end with its result dropped.
- raster.spectral with a zone: the zone's means count their rows and look at Cancel between
  rows. Nothing in the app runs the command under a control yet, and its doc comment says so.
  The rows are summed in order on one thread, so the means stay the same on every machine.

Walkthrough

Zonal means now track raster-row progress and return cancellation errors. GeoLibre subprocesses can stop on cancellation or when a run is no longer live. GeoLibre tools can run ahead in models, and live model runs can take their recorded results.

Changes: Zonal means cancellation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Make zonal row scanning cancellable
crates/analysis/src/rasterops.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/imagery.rs
zonal_means tracks raster-row progress and returns cancellation errors. Its tests cover successful results, empty zones, and cancellation. The imagery command propagates errors and reports no pixels fall in the zone when no means are available. Its documentation describes spectral-read limits and cancellation checks.

GeoLibre execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stop GeoLibre subprocesses on request
crates/geolibre/src/runner.rs
The shared subprocess helper checks stop reasons and collects output. run_pinned stops the process on cancellation or when the live predicate fails. Unix tests cover stopping a process and collecting output after normal completion.
Enable GeoLibre read-ahead and take its results
crates/engine/src/cmd/gp.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, docs/user-guide/analysis.md
The recording guard permits GeoLibre tools to run ahead. A test checks that the model takes the slope result once. The guide describes background execution, staged outputs, and cancellation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Code review

No prior review threads existed on this PR, so nothing was skipped as already raised. I did not run the tests: this session has no build or shell access.

Bugs

  • The gate that stops tools from running ahead now only checks SaveFile parameters. GeoLibre path-valued options are not SaveFile, so a program that writes a user-named file could write it on the copy and again on the real run. Confidence: medium (about 40–50%). Inline comment on crates/engine/src/cmd/gp.rs:2232.
  • Cancel kills only the direct child process. If the installed runner is a launcher, the real program can keep running. Confidence: low (about 25–30%). Inline comment on crates/geolibre/src/runner.rs:88.
  • live() is now polled every 20 ms during a GeoLibre run, and a failure kills the program. Checked: the predicate covers project replacement, storage identity, and the account, and geolibre_status() is cheap. Behaviour change to be aware of, not a defect. Confidence: low.

Security

  • None found. The changed paths keep the existing trust model, and the doc comment states that the runner is trusted.

Performance

  • None significant. The 20 ms poll is cheap, and the zonal progress totals add up to r.height.

Quality

  • The new engine test returns early without a runner, and CI never sets RUSTGIS_GEOLIBRE. So the PR's main claim has no coverage in CI, and no test runs a GeoLibre step under a cancelled control end to end. Confidence: high. Inline comment on crates/engine/src/tests.rs:38235.
  • Nits, grouped: the NOT_AHEAD doc paragraph has an overlong line (crates/engine/src/cmd/gp.rs around lines 625–627). The zonal_means doc comment repeats the progress wording. These can wait for the release quality pass.

AGENTS.md

  • The long-command cancel test (long_commands_stop_when_cancelled_while_they_run) does not list GeoLibre tools, although they now run in the background. Confidence: low (about 30%). The test needs a runner, which is the same gap noted above.
  • Otherwise the change follows the rules: no unwrap in non-test code, the new doc comments name the background path, and the docs match the new behaviour.

Checked and found correct

  • The zonal_means signature change has no other callers in the repo (only imagery.rs).
  • class_means progress totals are consistent with zonal_means.
  • Only the plugin and GeoLibre suites publish external tools, so narrowing the gate to plugin() is safe.
  • The new tests' helpers (read_ahead, read_land, with_raster, tools_taken) all exist.

Code review

Bugs

  • stop_reason in crates/geolibre/src/runner.rs:252 reuses check_still's text, "request cancelled before it was sent", when a running program is killed because its project closed. The error is wrong about the state, though nothing is lost. Confidence: high on the text, low impact. (Inline comment posted.)
  • Checked and not a bug: the gate change from source().is_some() to plugin().is_some() in gp.rs. Production external suites are only GeoLibre and plugins. Plugin tools always get a PluginPin, so they still stop the copy. Confidence: high.
  • Checked and not a bug: the begin() call added to zonal_means. class_means uses means_under directly, so its progress is not reset. Cancelled converts to String, so the ? in imagery.rs compiles. Confidence: high.

Security

  • None found in the changed lines. The GeoLibre runner's trust model and path-option writes are already covered by existing threads.

Performance

  • output_until in runner.rs:92 sleeps 20 ms on each running poll and calls live() each time. Before this change c.output() added no latency, so each GeoLibre step can now take up to 20 ms longer. Confidence: low, about 40%. (Inline comment posted.)

Quality

  • Design note, low confidence: the gate now allows any external suite other than plugins to run ahead. A future suite would therefore run ahead by default, where before it stopped. Consider source() against the GeoLibre key instead. Confidence: medium-low.
  • Nits, for the release quality pass: the NOT_AHEAD doc comment in gp.rs around line 627 has an overlong line, and the paragraph in docs/user-guide/analysis.md around line 1371 has a long unwrapped line.

AGENTS.md

  • raster.spectral with a zone runs on the session thread (crates/engine/src/cmd/imagery.rs:930). Its work grows with the zone, and the doc comment defers the background move instead of saying why it must stay on the UI thread. AGENTS.md's "Never hold the window" rule requires a background path or a stated reason. Confidence: medium-high, about 70%. (Inline comment posted.)

Already raised, left alone (3 threads): the path-option gate (gp.rs), the launcher kill (runner.rs), and runner-free test coverage (tests.rs). The author answered the first two, and the third is partly addressed by the added test. I did not repeat them. The fourth thread, the project-closed predicate, was fixed in this PR, and I checked that fix.

Code review

Bugs

  • No new correctness bugs found. I checked the narrowed ahead-run gate (pin.plugin() instead of resolved().source()). The only production external suites are geolibre and plugins (register_external in geolibre/src/lib.rs, plugins/src/tools.rs); the other registrations are test fixtures. So the gate change is consistent with the execution branch at gp.rs:2243. Confidence high.

Security

  • None found. The runner still runs the program with stdin null and no shell, and the kill path is unchanged in intent.

Performance

  • Low confidence (about 35%). stop_reason polls live() (continuation.check()) every 20 ms for the whole run. For runs with S3 identities, that check clones registry data under a lock (tiles/src/s3.rs). The earlier reply says the checks are "atomic loads", which is not accurate, though the cost is still small. Not re-raised.

Quality

  • Nit: docs/user-guide/analysis.md (around lines 1365–1372). The new GeoLibre sentences sit between "those after it run again" and "Those that run again run as a model always has", so "Those" is ambiguous. The line wraps are also uneven. Left for the release quality pass.
  • Nit: the NOT_AHEAD doc comment in gp.rs has one line over 100 columns while the rest is wrapped near 100. Left for the release quality pass.
  • Low confidence (about 25%): a mid-run live() error is now prefixed with the program path (for example "/path/geolibre: this run belongs to a replaced project"), while pre-spawn live() errors stay unprefixed. Not misleading, just inconsistent.

AGENTS.md

  • Medium-high confidence (about 75%): raster.spectral with a zone still runs on the session thread with no background path, and its doc comment defers the background path without a reason it must stay on the UI thread. Re-raised inline on crates/engine/src/cmd/imagery.rs:930, because the zone form now has Cancel checks and the doc comment has changed.

Prior review threads

  • Re-raised: 1 (the imagery zone thread above).
  • Left alone as already answered: 4 (the gate's path-option writes, which the docs now state; the direct-child kill; the vacuous engine test without a runner, partly covered by the new runner-free test; the 20 ms poll latency).
  • Verified as fixed: 1 (the misleading "request cancelled before it was sent" text, now "its project was closed while the tool ran", checked by the test in a069f2b).
  • Resolved or outdated and handled: 1 (the CodeRabbit read-ahead thread).

Checks

  • clippy.toml allows unwrap and expect in tests, so the new test .unwrap() calls are fine.
  • The rustfmt max_width is 140; the lines I measured fit.
  • I could not compile or run the tests here (no shell), so the new tests are unverified.

Keep stop checks active while collecting output

If a selected runner exits while a descendant retains stdout or stderr, output_until can block in join indefinitely. Cancel and project-close checks then cannot stop the run. The same path defeats the timeout for version probes.

Continue checking stop until both readers finish. On stop, return without waiting for pipe EOF; on success, preserve the collected output.

…off the UI thread (#1562) (#1721)

* feat(engine): a script's spectral zone is read on the script's copy, off the UI thread (#1562)

Follow-up to #1719, from its review (github-actions, AGENTS.md "Never hold the window"):
raster.spectral with a zone read the zone's window of cells on the session's thread, so a large
zone in a script held the window.

- raster.spectral is on ON_A_COPY: it changes nothing outside the session. A script's zone is
  read on the copy, with Run Script's progress and Cancel, and recorded for the run here to take,
  as a batch's files are (`ZonesAhead`), when the raster and the polygon are still the ones read.
- No pane of the app asks for a zone. The assistant, tasks and the command line run every
  command where they are asked, so a zone they ask for is read there; its doc comment says so.

* fix(engine): the browser build takes zone_means' unused session; the docs and doc comment say where a script's zone stops being read ahead (#1562)
