From 0d4d554e133df43b2dbfd203c9646d47fe7de6f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 09:27:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(browse): terminal-agent allocates from the fixed port scan range, not port:0 (#2314) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The terminal-agent bound `Bun.serve({ port: 0 })` and kept that OS-assigned port for its whole (weeks-long) lifetime. `port: 0` draws from the OS EPHEMERAL range (49152-65535 on macOS) — the exact pool every short-lived `app.listen(0)` test server draws from — so the agent squatted ports that test suites expected to receive and silently absorbed their traffic as phantom 404s (two squatting daemons verified in the report). Fix per decision 8: extract the main server's port allocation into browse/src/port-allocator.ts (checkPortAvailable / isPortAvailable / findAvailablePort + the 10000-60000 range constants and the actionable sandbox-vs-occupied error formatters, all verbatim from server.ts) and make BOTH long-lived listeners use it — server.ts's findPort is now a thin findAvailablePort(BROWSE_PORT) wrapper, and terminal-agent's buildServer takes a pre-allocated port from the same range. No terminal-port consumer carries a range assumption (they read the port file), verified by grep. Tests: terminal-agent-port-range (new — allocator stays inside 10000-60000 and below the 49152 ephemeral floor, explicit-port honored, occupied-explicit throws, static tripwires pin no-port:0 in terminal-agent.ts and the shared wrapper in server.ts) + findport + terminal-agent-integration/session-routing/detach-reattach + dual-listener: 67 pass, 0 fail. Fixes #2314.
