fix(install): count a command bounded() timed out as failed, whatever it exits with - #2653
scripts/install-node-fallback.test.ts "kills what a hung host started, not only the host" failed twice on #2616's GitHub-hosted run: Fast checks, run 41603870470, attempts 2 and 3. It answered RUNS instead of REFUSED after about 3 s, and it passes locally. The fault is in install.sh itself, not the test: bounded() could report a command it had timed out as successful.
bounded()'s watcher kills the command's tree once the time limit passes, children first and the command last. The test's hung host runs child & wait. A wait with no operand returns 0 once the child is gone. So on a slow runner, the host exits 0 between its child's kill and its own. bounded() then returned 0, and rust_host_runs took a hung Rust PTY host for a working one. On a slow PC the installer could have chosen a hung host over the Node fallback.
Once past the time limit, the watcher now ignores TERM, kills the tree and exits 124. bounded() always stops the watcher and waits for it, and returns 124 when the watcher says it timed out. A kill that has started always finishes, and a command that ends within its time limit keeps its own status.
Tests
A new bounded test in scripts/install-node-fallback.test.ts makes the race deterministic. It stands in for the tree's kill with one that makes the command exit 0 itself, as such a host would. The test fails on main (PASSED) and passes here (TIMED OUT). A second test checks that a command which ends within the time limit keeps its status: 0 stays 0, and 3 stays 3.
Validation
bun test scripts/install-node-fallback.test.ts: 31 pass.
Shell probe of bounded() with set -eu under dash, bash --posix and sh:
killed while it exits 0: 124;
exit 3: 3;
true: 0;
a real hang: 124.
sh -n install.sh: ok.
The old test under contention (1 core, 3 CPU hogs, 30 runs each): main 30/30 and the fix 30/30. The race did not show locally, so the deterministic test is the failing-first evidence.
Codex Terra: REQUEST_CHANGES on the first version, which used a marker file. Its two P2s: the watcher's cleanup could be cut short at the deadline, and an rm that fails under set -e could leave the command unbounded. This version removes the marker. Terra re-reviewed it: APPROVE, no findings.
omo code reviewer: APPROVE on the first version; re-review of this delta: APPROVE (CLEAR). Its one remaining note is optional: the test's FIFO could live in the test's own temp dir.
Skipped: full check, Windows VM (install.sh is not used on Windows), a real macOS /bin/sh (bash --posix stood in for it).
… it exits with
install-node-fallback.test.ts "kills what a hung host started" failed
twice on #2616's GitHub-hosted run (RUNS instead of REFUSED, after 3 s).
bounded()'s watcher kills the tree children first and the command last.
A host that waits on its child (`child & wait`) gets 0 from that wait as
soon as the child is killed, and on a slow runner it exits 0 before its
own kill comes. bounded() then returned 0 for a command it had timed out,
and rust_host_runs took a hung host for a working one.
Once past the bound, the watcher now ignores TERM, kills the tree and
exits 124. bounded() always stops the watcher, waits for it, and returns
124 when the watcher says it timed out. A kill under way is never cut short,
and a command that ends within its bound keeps its own status. A new test stands in for the tree's kill with one that makes
the command exit 0 itself: it fails on main and passes here.
The installer now correctly recognizes when a timed-out check has stopped, even if it exits successfully. It can then fall back to Node instead of treating the check as a success.
Installer checks now preserve failure results and respect their time limits.
The installer’s bounded wrapper now returns timeout status 124 when the timeout watcher kills a command tree, even if the command exits with status 0. Tests cover timeout behavior and preservation of normal exit statuses.

Summary
Preserve bounded timeout status install.sh, scripts/install-node-fallback.test.ts, changelog.d/install-bounded-timeout.md
The timeout watcher exits with status 124 after killing the command tree. The caller propagates that status. Tests cover timeout and normal exit statuses, and the changelog records the installer’s Node fallback behavior.
devswha/ovis#1908: Adds the rust_host_runs check that uses bounded and reads its exit status.
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 12f49
The installer preserves failure status when a timed-out probe exits cleanly. Asserting status 124 would strengthen the regression test, but this narrow coverage improvement does not block merging.

The timeout test passes for any nonzero bounded status. It prints TIMED OUT for every nonzero status, and its only assertion checks that text. A change that makes bounded return 1 on timeout still passes. The 124 status introduced by this PR is therefore not covered. Capture the status and assert it.
Suggested fix
-if bounded 1 sh -c 'read line < "$0"; exit 0' "$fifo"; then echo PASSED; else echo "TIMED OUT"; fi+bounded 1 sh -c 'read line < "$0"; exit 0' "$fifo" && echo PASSED || echo "TIMED OUT $?"
- expect(result.out).toContain("TIMED OUT");+ expect(result.out).toContain("TIMED OUT 124");

Review comment at @scripts/install-node-fallback.test.ts around lines 47 - 49:
Update the timeout test around the `bounded` invocation to capture and report
its exit status, then assert that the timeout status is specifically 124 rather
than merely checking for a generic timeout message.

Merge-pass review: read the whole diff (install.sh +7/-1, a test, a changelog fragment). bounded()'s watcher, once past the bound, now ignores the TERM the caller sends it, finishes killing the command's tree and exits 124, and bounded() returns 124 whenever its watcher did, so a command it timed out can no longer report success because a host that waits on its child exits 0 once that child is killed first. That race made scripts/install-node-fallback.test.ts "kills what a hung host started" fail on slow runners (seen twice on #2616's runs). The new deterministic test fails on main's install.sh and passes here (checked locally). A normal exit is unchanged: the watcher is still in its loop then, so the caller's TERM ends it as before. LOW: a command that ends on its own in the same second the bound runs out can be reported as timed out (before, it was reported by its own code); that only errs toward the install's existing timeout path. Lane reviews: omo APPROVE, Codex Terra APPROVE after one round; bun run check fast passed.
