TLDR

Prevents ast_read_file from launching repository-wide native relationship scans whose results it never returned, and bounds the Git working-set context it does use. The read path now has finite candidate, source-byte, declaration, and concurrency budgets; propagates cancellation through discovery and acquisition; reports partial context accurately; and preserves ast_edit relationship behavior and the public ast_read_file result shape.

Dive Deeper

The prior read path could start up to five concurrent native findInFiles traversals. Its timeout did not cancel those traversals, so work could continue after the tool returned and overlap later calls. This change makes repository relationship collection an explicit enhanced-context option: ast_read_file disables it, while ast_edit retains the existing default because its preview consumes that data.

Working-set context is now acquired through bounded, deterministic stages:

  • Git discovery is NUL-delimited, finite, one-over aware, and AbortSignal-aware. It terminates only the exact child it owns and reports Git errors or truncation as partial context.
  • At most 50 working-set files, 4 MiB of aggregate source, 500 retained declarations, and four concurrent acquisitions are permitted.
  • Capacity is reserved before reads and parses. Bounded reads detect files that grow after stat, and declaration extraction stops at its one-over sentinel.
  • Oversized, missing, unreadable, cancelled, or truncated inputs produce explicit partial accounting, including when no connected files are retained.
  • All scheduled work settles or is terminated before invocation completion. Normal returnDisplay metadata remains unchanged.

The regression coverage uses the real AST read tool in a child process, records a post-result quiet window, checks RSS against a 768 MiB ceiling, and includes a POSIX Git PATH canary that fails if read wiring re-enables repository metadata commands. Calibration against the old wiring reached 2,584,936,448 bytes peak RSS; fixed wiring remained below 300 MiB. A narrow Windows workflow runs the same safe memory regression, while normal tools CI supplies non-Windows coverage.

Review notes: DeepThinker review completed and was remediated. Open Code Review exited successfully and all 29 reported findings were source-checked and remediated, but its internal result was partial: 11 of 13 selected files completed and wrapper coverage was unknown. Its result metadata reported provider zai-anthropic with model glm-5.2, session events recorded glm-5.3, and wrapper policy expected StepFun step-3.7-flash; no review configuration was changed or retried.

Local verification completed:

  • 546 ast-edit tests passed.
  • The child-process memory suite passed both cases.
  • 42 file-size-gate tests passed.
  • Full lint, typecheck, format, build, actionlint, and git diff checks passed.
  • The StepFun step-3.7-flash smoke test returned a haiku.

The full repository test command completed with environment/load failures outside this patch: the local PowerShell grammar was unavailable, ripgrep resolution observed the installed Homebrew binary despite test stubs, and five agents tests timed out under concurrent load. The five agents files all passed immediately when rerun sequentially. CI is the authoritative clean-environment run for the remaining environment-specific cases.

Reviewer Test Plan

  1. Run the focused AST and size-gate suites:

    bun test packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/ packages/tools/src/tools/file-size-gate.bun.test.ts
    
  2. Run the real child-process regression directly:

    bun test packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/__tests__/ast-read-memory.bun.test.ts
    
  3. Inspect a Git workspace with modified TypeScript files through ast_read_file. Confirm target content, declarations, relevant snippets, and bounded working-set context remain present.

  4. Exercise a working set beyond a limit or abort an invocation. Confirm the model content reports a concise partial reason and accounting, and that no child/native work remains after completion.

  5. Preview an ast_edit operation and confirm repository and related-symbol context remains available.

Walkthrough

Before this PR, ast_read_file could grow memory use without clear limits because working-set discovery could scan broad git history and the path could eagerly read and extract declarations from every discovered file. After this PR, that flow is bounded: working-set acquisition is capped and cancellable, file reads are limited, AST extraction is tightened, and the returned context/result typing and display metadata are made more predictable.

Release Notes

  • Bug Fixes: Bounds ast_read_file memory use by replacing unbounded repository/working-set scans with cancelled, capped, and byte-bounded acquisition, and by tightening AST extraction and result typing.
  • Tests: Adds behavioral and regression coverage for bounded working-set acquisition, cancellation, memory bounds, display metadata, and bounded AST extraction behavior.
  • Documentation: Captures the issue plan and requirements for bounding ast_read_file memory and working-set acquisition.
  • Refactor: Tightens AST extraction and result typing in the AST read/context collection path.
  • Chore: Adds Windows-specific CI coverage for the ast_read_file memory regression.

Findings without a resolvable position

  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/repository-context-provider.ts: [bug/medium] > retainItems stops acquisition when next.retainedSourceBytes + item.sourceBytes > budgetBytes. Because declaration extraction is one-over aware (callers pass remaining + 1), a file whose actual read size is exactly the remaining budget edge is incorrectly skipped here. Replace with >= so only reads that truly exceed the bounded allowance are rejected.

Findings routed to summary

  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/__tests__/ast-read-file-bounded-helpers.ts: [other/low] > The isRecord type guard at lines 54-57 accepts any non-null, non-array object—including Date, RegExp, class instances, and Map/Set—as Record<string, unknown>. Test code using recordOf to validate tool results could silently pass unexpected object shapes, causing confusing runtime assertion failures (e.g., undefined properties) instead of catching contract violations early. Consider restricting the guard to plain objects only.
  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/__tests__/ast-read-file-bounded-helpers.ts: [maintainability/low] > hasCaseInsensitiveFilenames at lines 280-287 writes a probe file to detect filesystem case sensitivity but never removes it. This leaks a small file into any directory passed to the function. In test environments where directories persist across runs or are shared, probe files accumulate. Add cleanup with unlinkSync (or rmSync) after the existence check.
  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/__tests__/ast-read-file-bounded-helpers.ts: [maintainability/low] > The comment above GIT_TRAILING_OUTPUT_FLOOR_BYTES at lines 187-190 states 'Smallest stdout chunk Node delivers from a child pipe (64 KiB)' but the constant is defined as 1024 * 1024 (1 MiB). This mismatch could mislead future maintainers into reducing the constant to 64 KiB, which would break the long-path fixture's guarantee of emitting multiple NUL-delimited chunks and cause tests to fail. Update the comment to match the actual value, or adjust the value if 64 KiB is the intended floor.
  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/__tests__/ast-read-memory.bun.test.ts: [other/low] > The expect(child.status).toBe(0) after throw new Error(describeChildFailure(child)) is unreachable dead code. If child.status !== 0, the throw executes; otherwise the assertion trivially passes. Remove it to reduce noise.
  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/ast-read-file-invocation.ts: [maintainability/low] > workingSetPartialPhrase uses a default branch that masks exhaustiveness. Because the parameter type is WorkingSetPartialReason | undefined, default is required for undefined, but it also suppresses TypeScript's ability to flag any future member added to WorkingSetPartialReason that is not handled here. Refactor so the switch operates only on WorkingSetPartialReason and the undefined case is handled in a separate if, letting TypeScript enforce that every union member has an explicit phrase.
  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/workspace-context-provider.ts: [maintainability/low] > planCandidates runs all stat operations concurrently without any concurrency guard, while acquisition later enforces WORKING_SET_ACQUISITION_CONCURRENCY. This inconsistency means the planning phase can issue an unbounded burst of filesystem syscalls, which is especially risky for large repositories or slow filesystems and can starve other work. If the candidate set were ever raised beyond the current +1 sentinel, this would become a more severe scalability and stability issue. Consider reusing the same concurrency limit for planning, or document why stat is exempt.
  • packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/workspace-context-provider.ts: [maintainability/low] > The finally block in acquireAdmittedItem silently swallows all handle.close() errors via .catch(() => undefined). In long-running processes or under heavy load, this can mask file-descriptor leaks and make resource exhaustion harder to diagnose. If close failures are considered unrecoverable here, consider at least logging them or counting them in acquisition diagnostics rather than discarding them unconditionally.

49-52: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial

Consider the CI cost of the fixture on every matching pull request.

generateWorkspace writes 1500 dependency files of 60 lines each, then runs git add . and git commit. The Windows workflow triggers on any change under packages/tools/src/tools/ast-edit/**. On windows-latest, synchronous file creation plus a full Git index build for that tree is slow, and the child run allows up to 180 s on top of it.

If the job proves slow or flaky, reduce DEP_FILE_COUNT until the ceiling still separates bounded from unbounded behavior, or move the workflow to a nightly schedule with workflow_dispatch.

Optional: make the Git shim log unambiguous.

The shim logs "$*", which joins all arguments with a single space. stripGitDirPrefix then removes exactly two tokens. If the temporary workspace path ever contains a space, the -C value spans more than one token and the stripped line keeps a path fragment. The startsWith('remote ') and startsWith('branch ') assertions then pass even for a real regression, so the canary fails open.

Log the subcommand directly instead of reconstructing it in the parent.

Recommended: pass a resolved DeclarationFamily instead of a dual-meaning string.

declarationForNode accepts either a family name or a file extension. The two namespaces overlap today (c, py, rs, js are both), so the behavior is correct, but the overload is fragile. If a future extension name collides with a different family name, the wrong mapper runs. walkDeclarationsBounded already derives the family through declarationKindsFor, so it can pass the family directly.

Also type collectAllByKind's first parameter as DeclarationFamily instead of repeating the union literal.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-  private collectAllByKind(
-    family: 'js' | 'py' | 'rs' | 'c',
+  private collectAllByKind(

-    }
-    const family = familyOfExtension(familyOrExtension);
-    return family === null ? null : this.familyDeclarationForNode(family, node);
-  }

Then change walkDeclarationsBounded to accept family: DeclarationFamily and call this.familyDeclarationForNode(family, node). extractDeclarationsBounded can resolve the family once and pass both the family and its kind set. isDeclarationFamily and DECLARATION_FAMILIES become unused and can be removed.

Gate the case-insensitive test with skipIf instead of an early return.

The early return makes the test pass silently on case-sensitive filesystems, so the report does not show that the coverage did not run. Use it.skipIf(...) so the skip is explicit.

Based on learnings, this repository prefers platform-gating via it.skipIf(...) instead of an early return inside the test body.

Correct the stale prefix in the comment.

The comment states the sentinel sorts after all d-prefixed fixtures, but setup(25, 20, 'x') creates x-prefixed files. Update the comment to x-prefixed so the ordering rationale matches the fixture.

Preserve the spawn failure detail for the listing phase.

spawnGitChild discards the caught error, and runGitNulPhase returns { status: 'git-error' } with no message. collectPhaseCandidates then reports the generic text git working-set listing failed. runGitCapture keeps the real message through describeSpawnError. Returning the message here makes the two paths report failures the same way.

Use StringDecoder here too for consistency with the phase path.

chunk.toString('utf8') can split a multi-byte sequence across chunks. The probe commands emit short ASCII output today, so this does not break current behavior. The comparison on line 260 also measures string length against a byte constant. wireGitNulPhase already uses StringDecoder and byte counting; aligning both paths removes the latent difference.

Pin the duplicated policy literals against their source constants.

The literals state the intended contract, which is useful. However WORKING_SET_BYTE_BUDGET duplicates the default acquisition budget, and MAX_WORKING_SET_FILES/MAX_WORKING_SET_DECLARATIONS duplicate the exported policy constants. If a production constant changes, these tests keep asserting the old contract and pass for the wrong reason. Add one guard that compares each literal to the imported constant, so a drift fails fast while the literals stay the readable spec.

♻️ Suggested guard
+import {
+  MAX_WORKING_SET_FILES as SOURCE_MAX_FILES,
+  MAX_WORKING_SET_DECLARATIONS as SOURCE_MAX_DECLARATIONS,
+  WORKING_SET_ACQUISITION_CONCURRENCY as SOURCE_CONCURRENCY,

Isolate the fixture repository from developer global Git config.

gitInit sets only user.email and user.name. A contributor with commit.gpgsign=true in global config makes gitCommitAll fail, and gitCheck then throws during fixture setup. Adding a small set of local overrides keeps the fixture deterministic on any machine.

 export function gitInit(dir: string): void {
   gitCheck(dir, ['init']);

Align the doc comment with the Math.max charge.

The comment states that the authoritative charge is the exact raw byte count the read returned. Line 228 charges Math.max(candidate.allowance, total), so a file that shrank after its stat is charged its reserved allowance instead of the smaller actual count. That is a reasonable conservative choice against the reservation, but the comment describes different behavior. State that the charge is never below the reserved allowance.

CodeRabbit disposition: the review produced no actionable threads. I also evaluated its generic Docstring Coverage warning and am not adding boilerplate solely to reach the external 80% metric. The repository lint/type checks do not require that metric, the new public and non-obvious boundaries already have explanatory comments, and the remaining internal helpers are described by strict types and behavioral tests. Additional restatement comments would reduce signal rather than improve maintainability.

Automatic OpenCodeReview disposition for the eight findings without actionable inline threads (remediation commit b39b85d):

  1. Exact aggregate-budget equality: rejected as incorrect. Exact equality is allowed, so the retention comparison remains greater-than rather than greater-than-or-equal.
  2. Plain-object validation: implemented. The report guard now accepts only ordinary or null-prototype objects.
  3. Case-sensitivity probe cleanup: implemented. The temporary probe is removed after the check.
  4. Memory fixture comment: corrected to describe the actual 1 MiB floor.
  5. Unreachable child-status assertion: removed.
  6. Partial-reason handling: implemented. Undefined is handled first and the reason text uses an exhaustive mapping; cancelled discovery also reports eligible files as a lower bound.
  7. Candidate stat concurrency: implemented. Planning now runs in deterministic four-item chunks rather than starting every candidate simultaneously.
  8. File-handle close failure: implemented. A close failure now converts that candidate into an unreadable skip instead of being swallowed.

All ten inline findings were also source-checked, replied to individually, and resolved. The false or duplicate findings retained the proven-correct Node/Bun API and exact-budget behavior; grounded findings received behavioral coverage.
