reload: let a build-only run keep the tagged app running - #12962
teamleaderleo wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
A tagged reload terminates the running app after a successful build so macOS launches the fresh binary on cmd-click or --launch. That is right for a reload, and wrong for a build that is not replacing the session in front of you: a warm rebuild to check that the tree still compiles, a build driven by an external cache/build wrapper, or an agent building while the developer is using the previous build. CMUX_RELOAD_KEEP_RUNNING=1 skips only that termination. Everything else is unchanged, and the default is unchanged, so --launch and ordinary reloads keep their current behaviour.

With CMUX_RELOAD_KEEP_RUNNING=1 the running instance still holds the tag socket lock, so wait_for_tag_socket_lock_release blocked for its full 10 s and reported a teardown timeout that never was one. Detect the kept live instance, skip the wait, and report the real reason publication was skipped. --launch needs the new binary, so it ignores the variable and terminates as before.

Review found two gaps. The tagged cmuxd socket owner was killed during plist staging, before the keep decision was made, so a kept app lost its daemon. Decide once, ahead of that block, and guard the cmuxd teardown with it. With --no-global-cli-links the summary hid the reason tag state was not republished. Print it there as well.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Add harness coverage for the keep-running mode boundary. scripts/lib/reload-shim.test.mjs does not set CMUX_RELOAD_KEEP_RUNNING, so no committed test reaches the new tagged non---launch branch in scripts/reload.sh. Add one focused harness test that uses a live same-tag app/cmuxd and asserts that keep-running preserves both processes, skips socket-lock waiting, and suppresses reload-state publication. Include default and --launch cases to confirm their existing behavior remains unchanged.

Closing this in favor of a clearer explicit build-only workflow. The environment-variable opt-out weakens the tagged reload contract by leaving the running app and cmuxd on an older revision while replacing files on disk. I will rework this as an explicit, visible mode that preserves the normal reload guarantee. |

…dev backend (#12973) * test: tagged reload needs a way to build without the shared dev backend Since 3a114be, ./scripts/reload.sh --tag <tag> exits before the build unless scripts/dev-backend.sh exists, and that helper is only installed by cmuxterm-hq. CONTRIBUTING.md still gives that command as step 3. This commit adds the failing test only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * reload: CMUX_DEV_BACKEND_MODE=local for checkouts without the shared dev backend A tagged reload resolves the maintainers' shared dev backend through scripts/dev-backend.sh, which only cmuxterm-hq installs. Everywhere else the documented build command exited before building, with no way forward except --prod-auth. CMUX_DEV_BACKEND_MODE=local keeps the local dev origin reload.sh already computes (http://localhost:<tag port>), which is what every tagged build used before 3a114be, and does not bake a shared backend URL into the app. The default stays remote and stays strict, so cmuxterm-hq checkouts behave exactly as before; the error now names the opt-in. CONTRIBUTING.md uses it in step 3. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: pin reload.sh's side of the local backend contract Review pointed out the test only exercised the resolver. It now also fails if reload.sh stops passing its local origin, or exports CMUX_DEV_BACKEND_URL in local mode. Both mutations were checked by hand.

Its socket owner used to be killed during plist staging, before the keep decision was made (found in review).Known tradeoff, same one the existing comment describes: the kept instance runs against a bundle that was rebuilt under it. That's the opt-in.
