fix(events): abort the reconnect loop on close - #13
Merged
Conversation
`TypedEventStream.close()` could not stop the reconnect loop beneath it. Closing only queues `return()` on the `reconnecting()` generator, and a generator honours that solely at a yield point. A stream that fails before its first event never reaches one: `gapFill` yields nothing without a cursor, and `consumeStream` throws on connect. The generator then parks in `await sleep(delay)` inside `backoff()`, where the queued `return()` can never land. `EventsResource.subscribe` also built its stream with `new TypedEventStream(stream)` — no cleanup callback — so nothing was wired to cancel the loop even in principle. The result was an immortal loop: `maxAttempts` defaults to Infinity, so it reconnected on the 30s ceiling for the life of the process, firing `onReconnect` each time. Every caller that closed and re-subscribed a failing stream leaked one, and they accumulated without bound. Thread an AbortSignal through the loop instead: - `ReconnectOptions.signal` cancels `withReconnect` / `withResumableReconnect`. - `sleep()` is interruptible — the loop spends nearly all its life there, so this is what actually kills it. - `backoff()` returns false when aborted, before the callback and across the sleep, so a closed stream goes quiet immediately. - Both loops check the signal at the top, covering an abort that lands while the factory or gap-fill is in flight. - `subscribe()` owns an AbortController and aborts it from the stream's cleanup, so `close()` reaches the loop. Also forward the previously-swallowed error to `onReconnect` as `cause`. It reported only a counter, which is enough to see a stream flapping but not enough to act on it. Both regression tests hang to timeout without the fix.

- Line 114: Update the reconnect options construction in the events flow to
preserve options.reconnect.signal while also using controller.signal, so
aborting either signal stops subsequent reconnect attempts. Combine the signals
or forward the caller’s abort to controller, keeping the existing controller
behavior intact.
In `@src/streaming/reconnect.ts`:
- Around line 176-181: Update the reconnect flow around gapFill, fetchMissed,
and consumeStream so opts.signal cancellation interrupts a pending gap-fill,
propagates the signal to the underlying gRPC fetch, and prevents createStream
from opening after abort. Add a regression test using a never-resolving
fetchMissed that aborts during gap-fill and verifies the reconnect iterator and
source cleanup complete.

Round 1 of CodeRabbit review on #13. `subscribe()` passed `{ ...options?.reconnect, signal: controller.signal }`, so a caller-supplied `reconnect.signal` typechecked and then did nothing. Forward the caller's abort into the controller instead, and drop the listener on cleanup so a long-lived caller signal cannot pin the subscription. The backoff sleep was not the only wait in the loop without a yield point beneath it. `gapFill` awaits a unary RPC, and on a half-open connection that call can stay pending well past the close that should have ended the loop — the same trap the sleep fix addressed. Thread the signal into `fetchMissed` so the RPC is cancelled, race the wait against the signal so a fetch that ignores it still cannot park the loop, and re-check before opening a live stream the loop has already been told to stop wanting. Both paths are covered by tests that hang to timeout without this change.

Problem
TypedEventStream.close()cannot stop the reconnect loop beneath it.Closing only queues
return()on thereconnecting()generator, and a generator honours that solely at a yield point. A stream that fails before its first event never reaches one —gapFillyields nothing without a cursor, andconsumeStreamthrows on connect. The generator then parks inawait sleep(delay)insidebackoff(), where the queuedreturn()can never land.EventsResource.subscribecompounded it by buildingnew TypedEventStream(stream)with no cleanup callback, so nothing was wired to cancel the loop even in principle.Because
maxAttemptsdefaults toInfinity, the orphaned loop reconnects on the 30s ceiling for the life of the process, firingonReconnectevery cycle. Every caller that closes and re-subscribes a failing stream leaks one, and they accumulate without bound.Observed in production
A consumer that re-subscribes each line on every token refresh accumulated leaked loops for days: log volume from
onReconnectgrew linearly and monotonically from ~460k to1.8M lines/hour over a 3-day window (+18k/hr each hour), never recovering. Individual attempt counters reached ~9,600 (≈3.3 days × 30s). Within a single consumer, counters from many distinct cohorts (614,3081,9413,9437, …) were live simultaneously — one loop cannot hold several counters, so these were separate immortal generators. The host process was spending real CPU on it and starving its event loop.Fix
Thread an
AbortSignalthrough the reconnect loop:ReconnectOptions.signalcancelswithReconnect/withResumableReconnect.sleep()is interruptible. This is the crux — the loop spends nearly all of its life parked there, so an abortable wait is what actually kills it.backoff()returnsfalsewhen aborted, both before the callback and across the sleep, so a stream closed mid-backoff goes quiet immediately instead of emitting one last notification.return().subscribe()owns anAbortControllerand aborts it from the stream's cleanup, soclose()finally reaches the loop.Additionally,
onReconnectnow receives the previously-swallowed error as a second argument. It reported only a counter, which is enough to see that a stream is flapping but not enough to say why.Compatibility
Additive.
signalis optional and defaults to today's behaviour;onReconnect'scauseis a new trailing parameter, so existing 1-arg callbacks are unaffected.Tests
Three new tests, all failing before this change:
