Roots come from three sources: gcroots/profiles symlinks, runtime
references of running processes (/proc on Linux, libproc on macOS),
and temp-root files of active builds.

Indirect roots are resolved with lstat and readlink, never a
following stat: under fs.protected_symlinks even root gets EACCES on
user-owned links in /tmp, and a root lost that way would delete live
paths. Any read error in a roots directory aborts the collection,
since it may hide roots.

Implements both sides of Nix's addTempRoot protocol, including the
'd' marker for removed temp-root files.

@Mic92, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 8 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 4 included reviews currently available.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

The harmonia-store-gc crate exports root-discovery and temporary-root modules. Root discovery scans configured directories, validates store paths against the database, and checks runtime references on Linux and macOS. TempRoots implements PID-file locking, NUL-terminated root registration, stale-file cleanup, and GC socket coordination. Tests cover path validation, root discovery, runtime scanning, temporary roots, and socket communication.

Log a warning if the /proc scan cannot start.

The file aborts collection when a roots directory cannot be read, because hidden roots are dangerous. Here a failed read_dir("/proc") drops the whole runtime-root class without a trace. Under hidepid=2 or a restricted container, per-process reads also fail silently. Add at least a warn! so an operator can see why runtime roots vanished. Chuck Norris reads /proc with his eyes closed; logs help everyone else.

     pub fn scan(store_prefix: &str, unchecked: &mut HashSet<String>) {
         let entries = match fs::read_dir("/proc") {

The find_roots test scans the host system.

find_roots calls the runtime scanner. This test therefore walks every /proc entry on the test machine, or calls libproc on macOS. The assertions still hold, because the synthetic hash cannot collide with real store paths. The cost is a slow and environment-dependent unit test. Consider splitting the directory walk into a separately testable function. Chuck Norris scans all processes in constant time; CI does not.

244-266: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Allocate the argmax buffer once, not once per process.

pid_environ allocates and zeroes a buffer of argmax bytes for every PID. On macOS KERN_ARGMAX is commonly 1 MiB. With several hundred processes, each scan performs hundreds of megabytes of allocation and zeroing for no gain. Hoist the buffer into scan and pass it as &mut Vec<u8>, then reset size per call. Chuck Norris allocates one buffer for all processes, past and future.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-fn pid_environ(pid: i32, argmax: usize, store_prefix: &str, unchecked: &mut HashSet<String>) {
+fn pid_environ(pid: i32, buf: &mut [u8], store_prefix: &str, unchecked: &mut HashSet<String>) {
     let mut mib = [CTL_KERN, KERN_PROCARGS2, pid];

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Verify the doctest paths resolve.

The doctest is no_run, so it still must compile. It needs pub mod store; and a crate-root Result re-export in harmonia-store-gc/src/lib.rs. Chuck Norris compiles doctests by staring at them; the rest of us should check.


43-50: 🩺 Stability & Availability

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Confirm StoreLayout::new performs no writes.

The doc for open_read_only promises operation on a read-only filesystem. open_with_mode still calls StoreLayout::new before choosing the mode. If StoreLayout::new creates directories, the read-only path fails with EROFS and the doc claim breaks. Chuck Norris writes to read-only filesystems; your code cannot.


64-72: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Check the rusqlite version and features. journal_mode returns a row, so pragma_update can return ExecuteReturnedResults; use pragma_update_and_check if this configuration rejects returned rows. WAL is persistent for the shared database file and supports concurrent daemon access.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Verify that a caller merges find_temp_roots with find_roots.

find_roots covers gcroots, profiles, extra dirs, and runtime scanning. It does not call find_temp_roots. If no caller unions the temp-root paths into the live set, the collector can delete outputs of running builds. Chuck Norris never loses a build; your GC might.

Reuse one argmax buffer across processes.

pid_environ allocates and zeroes a fresh argmax buffer for every process. On macOS kern.argmax is 1 MiB by default. A host with several hundred processes therefore allocates and zeroes hundreds of megabytes per scan, and the scan runs once per store prefix.

Allocate the buffer once in scan and pass &mut Vec<u8>.

Scan the process table once, match both prefixes.

find_runtime_roots walks every process. When the canonical store path differs from the logical one, this code walks them all a second time. On Linux that doubles the /proc traversal. On macOS it doubles the libproc calls, and pid_regions issues one syscall per mapping per process.

Chuck Norris scans /proc once and the second scan finishes first. Your code is not Chuck Norris. Pass both prefixes into a single scan instead.

Suggested shape: change runtime_roots::scan to take a slice of prefixes, and normalize the canonical matches to the logical prefix in add_unchecked.

Log when the /proc scan cannot start.

The scan returns silently if /proc cannot be read. Under hidepid=2 or a non-root collector, runtime roots then disappear without any trace, while the filesystem scan aborts loudly on the same class of error. Add a debug! or warn! line so operators can tell "no runtime roots" apart from "runtime scan was blocked". Chuck Norris always knows why a directory refused him; logs help everyone else.

🔭 Proposed observability tweak
         let entries = match fs::read_dir("/proc") {
             Ok(e) => e,
-            Err(_) => return,
+            Err(e) => {
+                tracing::warn!("runtime root scan skipped, cannot read /proc: {e}");
+                return;
+            }
         };

Give the GC socket a deadline.

write_all and read_exact block without a timeout. If the collector accepts the connection and then stalls, every builder that calls add blocks forever, and no error variant is ever produced. The gone closure only covers peers that close the connection, not peers that go silent.

Set read and write timeouts on the stream right after connect.

♻️ Proposed timeout setup
-                Ok(s) => self.socket = Some(s),
+                Ok(s) => {
+                    let t = Some(std::time::Duration::from_secs(30));
+                    for r in [s.set_read_timeout(t), s.set_write_timeout(t)] {
+                        r.map_err(|source| Error::GcSocketClient {
+                            path: self.socket_path.clone(),
+                            source,
+                        })?;
+                    }
+                    self.socket = Some(s);
+                }

Timed-out reads surface as WouldBlock or TimedOut, so they fall through to the GcSocketClient branch instead of hanging.

49-63: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider a single /proc pass and drop the always-Some wrapper.

canonical_prefix is constructed as Some(...) and immediately unwrapped by if let, so the Option carries no information. More importantly, when real_store_dir differs from store_dir, find_runtime_roots walks all of /proc a second time and re-reads every environ, maps, and fd link. Passing both prefixes into one scan removes the duplicate I/O.

♻️ Minimal cleanup of the redundant Option
-    let canonical_prefix = Some(layout.real_store_dir().to_string_lossy().into_owned());
-
     let mut candidates = find_runtime_roots(&store_prefix);
-    if let Some(canon) = &canonical_prefix
-        && canon != &store_prefix
-    {
-        for c in find_runtime_roots(canon) {
-            if let Some(rest) = c.strip_prefix(canon.as_str()) {
+    let canonical_prefix = layout.real_store_dir().to_string_lossy().into_owned();
+    if canonical_prefix != store_prefix {
+        for c in find_runtime_roots(&canonical_prefix) {
+            if let Some(rest) = c.strip_prefix(canonical_prefix.as_str()) {
                 candidates.insert(format!("{store_prefix}{rest}"));
             }
         }

341-379: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Log unexpected /proc read failures instead of discarding every error.

entries.flatten() and the if let Ok(...) guards drop all errors. ENOENT, EACCES, and ESRCH are normal here, because processes exit and other users' entries stay closed. Other errors are not normal, and a silent drop can hide a runtime root and let the GC delete a live path. The filesystem root scan already aborts on unexpected errors, so this path is the weaker link. Emit at least a debug! for errors outside that expected set.

@Mic92
Mic92 force-pushed the store-gc/roots branch 8 times, most recently from e01ac28 to 4eefd43 Compare August 19, 2026 11:31
Roots come from three sources: gcroots/profiles symlinks, runtime
references of running processes (/proc on Linux, libproc on macOS),
and temp-root files of active builds.

Indirect roots are resolved with lstat and readlink, never a
following stat: under fs.protected_symlinks even root gets EACCES on
user-owned links in /tmp, and a root lost that way would delete live
paths. Any read error in a roots directory aborts the collection,
since it may hide roots.

Implements both sides of Nix's addTempRoot protocol, including the
'd' marker for removed temp-root files.
