Closes #826

Root cause

Two, both in the plain/regex path.

  1. crates/fff-core/src/grep/grep.rs gated the deadline on all_matches.len() > 1, so a zero-match query never aborted.
  2. Even with the gate lifted, files_consumed was unconditionally overwritten with files_to_search.len() whenever result_files was empty, forcing next_file_offset = 0. The cursor was lost. Same pattern in the fuzzy path at crates/fff-core/src/grep/types.rs.

Fix

Per @dmtrKovalenko's review: (1) is behaviour existing callers depend on, so it is now opt-in rather than changed. (2) is a plain accounting bug and is fixed unconditionally.

  • GrepSearchOptions.enforce_time_budget, default false. Off = historical rule, budget dormant until matches exist. On = hard bound, next_file_offset resumes at the first unsearched file.
  • Surfaces: enforceTimeBudget (node/bun GrepOptions/MultiGrepOptions), grep.enforce_time_budget (nvim config, content_search opt), enforce_time_budget= (python kwarg).
  • C ABI: fff_live_grep / fff_multi_grep keep their exact signatures and forward with false. The flag lives on new fff_live_grep_ex / fff_multi_grep_ex symbols. @dmtrKovalenko — appending a param to the existing symbols would have broken the frozen C ABI, hence the _ex pair rather than a 13th argument.
  • Fuzzy grep already enforced the budget with zero matches; left alone, so the flag only affects plain/regex.
  • An abort never skips file 0: next_file_offset == 0 means "done" to every caller, so a page must consume at least one file or paging stalls.

Hot loop cost of the flag is zero — the gate is folded into the Option<Duration> before the rayon par_iter, not evaluated per file.

Steps to reproduce

Both flag states are covered by one command on this branch — no patching needed. The ..._ignores_unenforced_... case is pre-fix behaviour, asserted to still hold:

git checkout triage-bot/issue-826
cargo test -p fff-search --test grep_time_budget_zero_match --release -- --nocapture

10k files x 4KiB, time_budget_ms: 5, page_limit: 500, plain mode, query matches nothing.

  • enforce_time_budget: false -> total_files_searched == filtered_file_count == 10000, next_file_offset == 0. Identical to main.
  • enforce_time_budget: true -> total_files_searched < 10000, next_file_offset > 0.

For the pre-fix numbers on main, the reporter's repro.mjs in #826 runs unmodified. Rust-core equivalent measured on main at a51f0f4's parent:

elapsed_ms=111.93 total_files=10000 filtered_file_count=10000 total_files_searched=10000 next_file_offset=0
budget expired but all 10000 candidate files were searched

5ms requested, 111.93ms spent, whole candidate set scanned, no resume cursor.

Node, after npm run build in packages/fff-node — reporter's script with one line added:

finder.grep("needle-not-present", {
  mode: "plain",
  maxFileSize: 1024 * 1024,
  pageSize: 500,
  timeBudgetMs: 5,
  enforceTimeBudget: true,
});

Expected: totalFilesSearched < filteredFileCount, nextCursor non-null, elapsed near 5ms. Drop enforceTimeBudget and the numbers are exactly what main prints today.

How verified

$ cargo test -p fff-search --test grep_time_budget_zero_match --release
running 4 tests
test zero_match_fuzzy_search_stops_at_time_budget ... ok
test zero_match_search_ignores_unenforced_time_budget ... ok
test zero_match_search_stops_at_enforced_time_budget ... ok
test budget_resume_cursor_does_not_skip_files ... ok

test result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed

zero_match_search_ignores_unenforced_time_budget is the regression guard for your concern: with the flag off, total_files_searched == filtered_file_count and next_file_offset == 0, exactly as before. budget_resume_cursor_does_not_skip_files pages a budget-limited search to exhaustion and asserts it still finds a needle planted in the last file, so the cursor drops nothing.

Also green: cargo test -p fff-search --release --test grep_integration --lib grep (18 tests), cargo clippy --release -p fff-search -p fff-c -p fff-nvim --all-targets (no new warnings), cargo fmt, stylua, make header, make sync-js-api.

Not verified: node/bun e2e and python bindings were not executed (no node_modules in this checkout) — those changes are signature plumbing only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional time-budget enforcement for grep and multi-grep searches across supported APIs.
    • Enforced budgets can stop searches before the first match and provide a cursor for resuming.
    • Interrupted and time-limited searches now resume from the precise stopping point.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented duplicate or skipped matches during pagination.
    • Improved “has more results” reporting and preserved progress for searches with no matches.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new time-budget enforcement setting and its behavior.

The plain/regex deadline check was gated on `all_matches.len() > 1`, so a
search that matched nothing never aborted and scanned every candidate file.
Removing the gate alone is not enough: both accounting paths overwrote
`files_consumed` with the full slice length whenever no file matched, which
zeroed out `next_file_offset` and lost the resume cursor.

Workers now latch the abort in their `map_init` state and record the lowest
index they skipped, so the resume cursor is the exact first unsearched file.
Matches past that index are dropped and re-found on the next page, keeping
paging free of both gaps and duplicates.

Closes #826

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cab93

This change adds opt-in time-bounded searching and resumable pagination, but a timed-out zero-match search may still lose its continuation cursor in one public response path and incorrectly appear complete, potentially hiding matches in later files; the budget also cannot interrupt an in-progress file operation. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and contract risks to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Preserve the cursor for empty partial results.

GrepResult::collect now returns next_file_offset after an abort. crates/fff-mcp/src/server.rs:255-411 returns "0 matches." before formatting that cursor when the first page has no matches. A timed-out search can then hide later matches and cannot resume.

Format and store the continuation cursor when next_file_offset != 0, even if matches is empty.

#826 (comment) @gustav-fff work on this comment

Per review: enforcing the budget on zero-match searches unconditionally
changes behaviour for existing callers, who relied on a full scan when
nothing matched. Make it opt-in instead.

- GrepSearchOptions.enforce_time_budget, default false. Off keeps the
  historical plain/regex rule (budget dormant until matches exist).
- Exposed as enforceTimeBudget (node/bun), enforce_time_budget
  (lua config + python kwarg), and new fff_live_grep_ex /
  fff_multi_grep_ex C symbols. The existing C symbols keep their exact
  signature and forward with false.
- Fuzzy grep already enforced the budget unconditionally; unchanged.
- Cursor accounting fix stays unconditional: an aborted page now reports
  how far it actually got instead of claiming the whole slice.
- Never skip file 0, so an abort cannot emit next_file_offset == 0,
  which callers read as "done".

mlua 0.11.1 FromLua Option<bool> Lua string conversion error

💡 Result:

In mlua 0.11.1, the FromLua implementation for Option<T> is designed to treat Lua::Nil as None and attempt to convert any other value into T via T::from_lua [1]. If you are encountering a conversion error when using Option<bool> with a Lua string, it is because mlua does not automatically coerce arbitrary Lua strings into bool values [2][3]. The FromLua implementation for bool in mlua explicitly expects a Value::Boolean type [1][2]. When you pass a string to a function expecting an Option<bool>, the following occurs: 1. The Option<T> implementation receives the string value [1]. 2. Because the value is not Nil, it proceeds to call bool::from_lua(value, lua) [1]. 3. The bool implementation sees that the underlying Value is a string, not a boolean, and returns an Error::FromLuaConversionError [4][5][1]. To resolve this, you must handle the conversion manually if you need to support string-to-bool coercion (e.g., interpreting "true" as true and "false" as false) before passing the value to the Option wrapper, or explicitly accept a String or Value in your Rust function and perform the conditional logic yourself [6][1]. If you are seeing this error during data retrieval (e.g., using globals.get() or table.get()), ensure the Lua side is providing a boolean value instead of a string, or use a custom wrapper type that implements FromLua with your desired coercion logic [3].

Validate opts.enforce_time_budget with vim.validate().

If the caller passes a non-boolean, Rust’s Option<bool> conversion fails. pcall catches the error and returns the empty fallback. Reject invalid input after opts = opts or {}.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the enforce_time_budget documentation.

false does not bound zero-match searches. The comment contradicts the grep configuration at Line [429]. State that true also bounds zero-match searches.

Suggested fix
-  enforce_time_budget   = false,   -- also bound zero-match searches
+  enforce_time_budget   = false,   -- true also bounds zero-match searches

[triage-bot] DIRECTED: already done — 8bf4031, pushed before your mention landed.

Your premise is preserved as the default. GrepSearchOptions.enforce_time_budget defaults to false, and the budget gate is unchanged in that state:

// crates/fff-core/src/grep/grep.rs:601
let budget = time_budget.filter(|_| options.enforce_time_budget || all_matches.len() > 1);

Off = dormant until matches exist, exactly as before. Guarded by zero_match_search_ignores_unenforced_time_budget, which asserts total_files_searched == filtered_file_count and next_file_offset == 0.

Surfaces: enforceTimeBudget (node/bun), grep.enforce_time_budget (nvim config + content_search opt), enforce_time_budget= (python). C ABI untouched — fff_live_grep/fff_multi_grep keep their signatures and forward false; flag lives on new fff_live_grep_ex/fff_multi_grep_ex.

Zero hot-loop cost: the gate is folded into the Option<Duration> before the rayon par_iter, not evaluated per file.

The second half of the PR is a separate bug and stays unconditional: files_consumed was overwritten with files_to_search.len() whenever result_files was empty, forcing next_file_offset = 0 and losing the cursor even on a match-bearing abort.

be0c61c on top: style-only, moved the test helpers to end of file per CLAUDE.md.

$ cargo test -p fff-search --test grep_time_budget_zero_match --release
test result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed

Also: CodeRabbit flagged crates/fff-mcp/src/server.rs losing the cursor on an empty page. Unreachable — MCP passes time_budget_ms: 0, enforce_time_budget: false, abort_signal: None (server.rs:62-68), so it never aborts, and next_file_offset is returned in the struct at server.rs:402/648 regardless. "0 matches." is only the display string. No change made.

Shorten this Rust comment.

This comment uses three lines. The repository rule allows two. Keep only the non-obvious behavior, for example: Check every 8th file; keep file 0 so cursor 0 means complete.

As per coding guidelines, Rust comments must be concise and no longer than two lines.
