A synchronous fs syscall on the Electron main thread parks the whole app when its target is on a stalled mount (SMB/NFS, VPN drop, sleeping NAS, unmounted drive). The app stops repainting and stops answering Force Quit. This converts 28 such paths, covering the ones users actually hit: - orca.yaml hook config, read behind the POLLED git:status path, so a stalled repo froze the app on a timer with no user action - agent hook status/install for 14 agents, incl. the shared reader that 10 of them funnel through and a serial install loop with sync fs per body - credential status for Codex/Grok/MiniMax/speech, also called off-IPC by RateLimitService on a refresh timer -- froze a fully idle app - external path authorization and agent trust setup - profile index, keybindings, diagnostics discovery Measured first, since it shapes the fix: libuv's threadpool defaults to 4 threads, and at exactly poolSize concurrent stalled ops every other async fs call app-wide stops progressing. But the event loop stayed alive in all configurations (max timer gap 4ms). So async conversion does not bound a hung mount -- it keeps the main thread responsive, which is the reported symptom. UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE is raised to 16 as headroom, not as a bound. No timeout machinery was added; it cannot bound a block on its own thread. Where a sync twin had to stay (CLI processes, pre-window startup, callers that cannot await), the write path keeps single-thread serialization rather than relying on a promise chain a sync writer walks straight through: canonicalization moves off-thread while the read-modify-write stays sync. Where both twins must coexist, the async writer publishes its temp path and the sync writer unlinks it, turning the parked rename into a swallowed ENOENT -- a generation guard alone is spent once the writer parks. observability/local-file-sink.ts is deliberately untouched; its writeSync is a crash-durability contract that needs a process boundary, not an await.
