Summary

Follow-up to #115 (Windows machine discovery process-tree cleanup). Addresses all CodeRabbit review comments:

  • CHANGELOG: clarify that only identical overlapping discovery requests are coalesced
  • Coalescing key: normalize projectDir (trim/empty→null) so equivalent requests share one operation
  • Const canonicalization: document the Expando-based coordinator invariant (identical const instances intentionally share one coordinator)
  • Clock truncation: widen Windows creation-time window by ±1ms so 100-ns CIM timestamps can't fall outside bounds and degrade cleanup to the stdin fallback
  • Stream drains: use Future.ignore() instead of unawaited() for fire-and-forget terminator stdout/stderr drains
  • Descendants-remain path: new distinct exit code 6 from the PowerShell script; _requestStop skips the unreachable stdin fallback for it and logs a warning; also logs an abandoned wrapper pid when stdin fallback fails
  • Timeout budget: derive PowerShell WaitForExit and rescan deadlines from windowsTreeStopTimeout so the outer budget always exceeds the internal cleanup budget
  • Narrow catch clauses to on Exception for consistency

Validation

  • flutter analyze on changed file: no issues
  • flutter test test/flutter_tool_machine_discovery_test.dart: 12 passed
  • check_changelog_markdown.sh passed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Flutter discovery reliability by combining identical overlapping requests, reducing redundant processing.
    • Improved Windows process cleanup when a launcher exits before shutdown completes.
    • Added clearer handling for expected process-exit conditions, helping discovery operations finish more reliably.
  • Documentation
    • Added these fixes to the unreleased changelog.

- changelog: clarify only identical overlapping requests are coalesced
- normalize projectDir in the discovery coalescing key
- widen Windows creation-time window by 1ms to absorb clock truncation
- use Future.ignore() for fire-and-forget terminator stream drains
- distinct exit code (6) for root-killed-descendants-remain; skip stdin
  fallback for that code and log the outcome
- derive PowerShell WaitForExit/rescan deadlines from windowsTreeStopTimeout
- narrow fallback catch clauses to on Exception; log abandoned wrapper pid

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Windows Flutter process-tree termination now reports wrappers that exit before handle acquisition. Discovery handles this result by waiting for process exit without stdin fallback. The changelog records this fix and request coalescing.

Changes

Flutter discovery lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows early-exit termination handling
mcp_server_dart/lib/src/shared_core/vm_connections/flutter_tool_machine_discovery.dart, CHANGELOG.md
The PowerShell terminator returns exit code 7 when the wrapper process is already gone. Discovery logs the condition, waits for process exit, and skips stdin fallback. The changelog records the related fixes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aa076

The PR improves Windows process cleanup, but error handling can still treat some process lookup failures as successful and skip fallback cleanup, potentially leaving wrapper or descendant processes running. Very short timeout overrides can also disable descendant rescanning. This is a concrete bounded correctness risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Add an assertion for placeholder substitution.

The test verifies script structure but never verifies that __ROOT_PID__ is replaced with the real PID. A leftover placeholder would still satisfy every current assertion and would break termination at runtime.

555-575: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Clamp the derived script budgets to non-zero minimums.

rescanSeconds uses scriptBudget.inSeconds ~/ 2. If windowsTreeStopTimeout is below 2 seconds, rescanSeconds becomes 0. The rescan loop then never runs, and the script always exits with code 6 even when no descendant remains. waitForExitMs degrades in the same way for very small budgets.

The default of 5 seconds is unaffected, so the impact is limited to overridden timeouts (currently tests). A floor keeps the behavior meaningful for any override.

Get-Process with -ErrorAction Stop threw when the wrapper exited between
the CIM snapshot and handle acquisition, producing an unclassified
non-zero exit. Return a defined exit code (7) for that race and treat it
as success in _requestStop: the process is gone, so skip the stdin
fallback and log at debug level.
