Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates two operator submodule references. It also flushes exec server readiness output and removes SIGTERM delivery to running exec children after client disconnects.

Changes

Operator submodule references

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update community operator references
controller/deploy/operator/contribute/community-operators, controller/deploy/operator/contribute/community-operators-prod
The submodule references point to updated community operator commits.

Exec server lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Adjust exec server child handling
rust/jumpstarter-exec/src/server.rs
The server flushes stderr after the listening message. Client disconnects no longer send SIGTERM to running children, which the main execution thread reaps after natural exit.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 76309

The PR improves stderr readiness visibility, but disconnected executions can still hang or lose output, and operator contribution updates may run against the wrong repository and break bundle publication. These concrete availability and release-integrity risks should be fixed before merge.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a tidy patch,
Operator refs now match.
Stderr hops out fast and bright,
Exec children finish right.
No sudden terminations here—
Just carrots, code, and calm career.

Use the repository-supported Rust checks and add missing integration coverage.

The pkg-test-jumpstarter-exec, pkg-ty-jumpstarter-exec, and lint-fix targets do not exist. Use make test-rust, make lint, and make fmt. Add tests that read the piped stderr readiness log before client use and cover client disconnects.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Close stdin and drain output before allowing disconnected children to finish.

When the client disconnects, handle_exec still owns child_stdin while it waits in child.wait(). A child that waits for stdin EOF can therefore block indefinitely. The output-forwarding threads also stop after send fails, which drops the pipe reader and can cause a child that continues writing to receive SIGPIPE.

Close the child stdin when the reader observes EOF, and continue draining stdout and stderr after the client disconnects. Otherwise, restore termination on disconnect. Add integration tests for a stdin-waiting child and a high-volume-output child.

Seems like the humans are having a chat. I'll hop back into my burrow for now. If you need me again, just tag @coderabbitai in a new comment, and I'll come hopping out!

@bennyz do you have a reference to the issue? I'll have a look at it as well.

Two fixes for jumpstarter-exec test failures:

1. Flush stderr after logging 'listening' so tests that poll for socket
   creation see the buffered log output on CI systems.

2. Don't send SIGTERM to child process on client disconnect. Previously,
   the signal handler thread would kill the child when the client closed
   the connection, preventing output forwarding threads from reading
   remaining stdout/stderr. Now the child finishes naturally and the main
   thread reaps it with wait() after output forwarding completes.

   This assumes well-behaved children that exit on their own (typical for
   exec commands). Broken/hanging processes will block the reaper, but
   this is no worse than the previous behavior (which killed them).

Fixes e2e_debug_json_logs_commands_and_io and related E2E exec tests.
