test: exercise preview graceful shutdown on Windows - #320
Conversation
📝 SummarySummaryThe installed-skill preview smoke test now verifies graceful shutdown on Windows. Windows uses an IPC message and preload signal relay to emit The test retains exit-code, stopping-log, closed-port, and staging-cleanup assertions. No production code or public interfaces changed. Author-reported targeted Windows testing passes. The full Windows suite still has unrelated platform-specific and intermittent failures. No current-head test execution was observed. WalkthroughThe preview CLI test now uses a signal-relay import and IPC termination on Windows. Other platforms retain direct ChangesPreview test termination
Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this change because it is limited to a Windows graceful-shutdown test, with no production code or public behavior changes. Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The Windows preview shutdown test now relays termination through IPC, but it can fail on supported older Node 18 versions and may report child-exit races unreliably. Resolve these test compatibility and error-handling issues before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 1 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)

Full details: Validation EvidenceExplanation The PR provides strong local evidence: the isolated diff changes only Resolution A maintainer must approve the fork pull-request workflow run and rerun the required CI on the final candidate head. Before acceptance, make the relay compatible with the declared Node range or raise the engine floor, then provide the corresponding focused compatibility result.

Support the declared Node.js floor before using --import.
archify/package.json declares node >=18, but Node.js 18.0–18.17 does not support --import. The Windows test therefore fails before installedCli starts on those supported versions. The Windows CI job uses Node.js 22 and does not cover this case. Raise the package floor to >=18.18.0, or use a relay supported by the declared range.

site:nodejs.org/api child_process child.send callback error event IPC channel closed --import Node.js 18
💡 Result:
In Node.js, when using child_process.send(message, callback) to communicate with a child process, receiving an ERR_IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED error indicates that you are attempting to send a message over an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) channel that has already been closed [1][2]. This error typically occurs in the following scenarios: 1. Child Process Termination: The child process has exited or is in the process of shutting down, causing the IPC channel to close [3][4]. 2. Explicit Disconnection: Either the parent or the child process has explicitly called the subprocess.disconnect or process.disconnect method, respectively [3][5][4]. 3. Race Conditions: An attempt was made to send a message just after the channel was closed but before the parent process's state was updated to reflect this. To handle this error and prevent your application from crashing, consider the following best practices: Check Connection Status: Before calling send, check if the channel is still open by inspecting the subprocess.connected property [3][4]. if (child.connected) { child.send(message, (error) => { if (error) { console.error('Failed to send message:', error); } }); } else { console.warn('Cannot send message: IPC channel is closed.'); } Listen for Disconnect: Monitor the 'disconnect' event on the child process object to clean up resources or stop attempting to send messages once the channel is closed [3][5][4]. By verifying the connected state and handling the callback's error argument, you can gracefully manage communication failures when the IPC channel is no longer available.

Handle IPC send failures explicitly.
The test has no 'error' listener and passes no callback to child.send('stop'). If the preview child exits first, Node reports the closed IPC channel through the child-process error path, which can terminate the test before it reports the preview failure. Pass a callback to child.send() and handle its error.

Problem and value
The installed-preview smoke test expects
child.kill('SIGTERM')to run the CLI's graceful shutdown handler. On Windows it terminates the child immediately, so the test fails with{ code: null, signal: 'SIGTERM' }. A Windows-only test preload and IPC message emit the signal inside the child, exercising the real handler.Stability impact
