* fix(daemon): bound the whole boot-recovery sequence with one budget (STA-5732)
* fix(daemon): keep socket probes inside recovery budget
* fix(daemon): size the recovery budget against the real post-kill tail
The 24s budget reserved only 9s for everything after the deadline, leaving
27s of the startup PTY gate's fail-open cap unused — and every unused second
is one where a daemon that would have drained gets killed with its live PTYs
instead. Reserve each post-deadline stage's actual hard cap (kill 10.5s, fork
10s, lease 5s) and spend the rest: 24s -> 32s of adopt window.
* fix(daemon): keep the last-resort endpoint rescue outside the recovery budget
The rescue probe in the launcher's outer catch was clamped to the recovery
budget's remainder, but it runs *after* that budget by construction — past
prepareDaemonReplacement, killStaleDaemon, the fork and the adoption lease.
The remainder is therefore essentially always negative, so Math.max(1, ...)
handed a live socket a 1ms connect window. On the loaded machine this path
exists for the probe loses to its own timer, the launcher rethrows, and a
recoverable degraded adoption becomes total daemon loss for the whole run —
the outcome the comment above it exists to prevent. Restore the 1s default
and pin the window with a test that drives the launcher to that catch with
the budget already spent.
Also make the deliberate narrowing legible instead of implicit:
- daemon-recovery-budget.ts: TRANSIENT_WEDGE_DRAIN_MS documented 20s as the
grace #8697 sized, but #8697's merged second commit (840d3277d1) widened
it to 11 retries ~= 60s. Record that 20s is the drain estimate and that the
budget deliberately sits under #8697's shipped grace.
- daemon-init-wedged-daemon-grace.test.ts: pin the trade directly — a wedge
draining after the budget is replaced and loses its live sessions.
- Rewrite 'preserves a daemon that stays wedged until the LAST allowed grace
retry' onto the simulated clock. It never mocked Date.now, so its 12 probes
elapsed ~0ms and asserted a retry grace the wall clock can no longer
deliver; it now pins the last drain the budget still adopts.
* fix(daemon): name the socket probe default and correct the grace-retry rationale
Answers the review round on the budget accounting: the outer-catch endpoint
rescue is deliberately outside it, and the preflight clamp no longer duplicates
probeDaemonSocket's default as a bare literal.
