Test-only. No production code. ## The freeze repro was rotted in three ways, not one #16764 tracks four stale call sites. There were three separate problems: 1. **Stale call sites** — `execInTerminal` gained a `ptyId` and `splitActiveTerminalPane` gained a direction. (`startDockerSshRelayTarget`'s missing `testInfo` was the third; #18257 has since landed it on main.) 2. **It connected before session restore settled**, so the seeded tab never bound to a remote PTY and the terminal sat on "Connecting…" forever. 3. **It could never have passed, even once.** It waited for a one-shot `READY:` line through a 4000-char terminal window while its own 2 KB-every-8 ms flood buries that line within ~16 ms. Readiness is now keyed on the repeating `BG:` flood marker, which is strictly stronger — it proves the pane is streaming rather than merely started. It now runs end to end and prints a measurement instead of dying on a call site: ``` [freeze-repro R2] hiddenFloodMaxLagMs 2.1 bulkOpenMaxLagMs 41.5 interactionProbeMs 53.6 softFreeze false hardFreeze false ``` **It is still not CI-gateable, and the exclusion comment now says so.** The same spec on the same commit measured `bulkOpen 2575.6ms / interaction 3464.2ms` on a GitHub ubuntu runner against a 2500 ms soft budget — a ~60x spread on the number the budget reads, with the relay still streaming. That is the budget failing, not the product. The earlier draft of this comment claimed "repaired and passing", which was true only of the host it was measured on; gating this needs a host-relative oracle, not a bigger constant. ## New: a half-open link is judged, not wedged The fixture image has no `iptables` and the container has no `NET_ADMIN`, so `docker pause` is used instead — a harder case, because the container's TCP stack keeps ACKing: no FIN, no RST, and the socket looks perfectly healthy. Only an application-level probe can detect it. ``` [half-open] {"verdict":"reconnecting","verdictMs":25135,"budgetMs":90000} ``` Nothing in the suite covered the failure mode behind the "SSH hangs until I restart Orca" reports. ## New: resource accumulation measured on the remote host 6 terminals, then 5 reconnect cycles, counted on the container itself: ``` open: pts 1->6 (exactly 1/terminal), relay fds 25->30 (exactly 1/terminal) reconnect: pts flat at 6, relay procs flat at 1, node procs flat at 3 ``` `leakedMasterFdCount` is now **asserted**, not merely recorded. It counts PTY master fds held by non-relay processes: without `FD_CLOEXEC` a master is inherited by every later child, so terminal k adds k of them — the triangular signature measured as 15 across 5 terminals before the fix. #17914 patched the app and daemon and #17920 shipped the same patch to the relay host, and both are now on main, so the correct value is 0 and the probe holds it there: ``` baseline leakedMasterFdCount 0 6 terminals leakedMasterFdCount 0 (holders: only relay.js, n=6) reconnects leakedMasterFdCount 0 across all 5 cycles ``` Any growth here means the relay's node-pty rebuild did not take on that host, which is exactly what a remote-host probe exists to catch — and it is the half of #17914's claim that no unit test can reach. ## Routing Both new probes are claimed by `run-ssh-docker-e2e.mjs` (a Docker-gated spec no runner names self-skips everywhere and still reports green) **and** by the `ssh-terminal-source` route in `pr-e2e-source-routing.mjs`, so they run when the relay and SSH code they guard changes rather than only on a scheduled lane.
