Request changes for one reproduced P2 shutdown defect (inline). The experiment is useful and fits the merged design #23: the target branch has no gVisor receiver, and issue #894 establishes the signal-source need. This is an opt-in prototype, not production runtime coverage.
Reviewed head f984879765a0b3c60f729d2200291f607923176b against main at e33c1ff47693ccd41e633d4a69fdc15bd4629165. All six added files reviewed; no new dependencies or normal node-agent startup changes. The handshake, header and identity fields match pinned upstream gVisor. Identity filtering and argv/cwd discard are consistent with the corrected privacy contract. The upstream start hook precedes application execution, so this is not proof the application ran.
History: design #14 overlaps the remote-sink direction and reports an earlier PoC; #23 explicitly calls itself its narrower experiment companion. The dismissed approval cites LFX timing, not technical rejection. #23's prior privacy objection was corrected and remains addressed here. No superseding node-agent implementation was found. Searches covered all states using gVisor, SecCheck, container/start, runtime visibility and receiver (100-result caps), explicit closed searches and all 24 design issue/PR records. The broad container/start search hit its cap; narrowed title/body search returned 16. This does not prove no unlinked work exists.
Validation in a credential-free Linux container with network disabled: go test -race ./pkg/gvisor -count=1, go vet ./pkg/gvisor ./cmd/gvisor-start-probe, and go build -buildvcs=false -o /tmp/gvisor-start-probe ./cmd/gvisor-start-probe passed; formatting and diff checks passed. An additional full-output-pipe cancellation test failed: Run stayed blocked for three seconds after cancellation and returned only after closing the pipe reader. The existing tests do not cover this case.
DCO, GitGuardian and CodeRabbit passed; Copilot hit its quota. Go-test CI and component/benchmark workflows require authorization, so their tests have not passed. No live runsc/CRI/GKE trial or full repository test suite was run. Source-health reporting, per-sandbox fairness and the single-ID command's multi-container trial procedure remain follow-up limitations before integration; they are not additional blockers for this prototype.

[P2] Make shutdown interrupt blocked probe output. OnStart runs synchronously, and this unconditional wait prevents Run from honoring cancellation if the callback is blocked. The supplied probe's callback calls encoder.Encode(os.Stdout): when a pipe consumer stops reading and the pipe fills, SIGTERM only cancels the context; the output write and this wait remain blocked, so the process cannot terminate gracefully or remove its socket. I reproduced this with a full 4096-byte os.Pipe using the probe's JSON callback: Run did not return within three seconds after cancellation, and returned only when the reader was closed. Make the output/callback lifecycle cancellable (including interrupting the blocked write) and add a full-pipe cancellation regression test; keep normal queue draining behavior covered.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Restore the original O_NONBLOCK state of stdout when the probe exits.
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC creates a new descriptor for the same open file description. The SetNonblock call on that duplicate therefore changes the shared file description, including the inherited terminal or pipe. The probe never clears the flag.
Example: an operator runs the probe in an interactive shell and stops it with SIGINT. The shell's terminal stays nonblocking. Later programs that use the same terminal can get EAGAIN on reads or writes. The same applies to a pipe shared with a supervisor or log collector.
Fix:
- Read the original flags with
F_GETFLbefore the change. - Restore those flags in a
Closemethod onjsonOutput. - Call that
Closemethod frommainbefore every exit path.

Re-reviewed 7853f55b2265ae834a2bedcf43b2ac8e737e9033 against main at e33c1ff47693ccd41e633d4a69fdc15bd4629165. The previous shutdown blocker is addressed: cancellation-aware callbacks and the full-pipe output test now pass, including socket removal; ordinary output and queue draining are covered.
One remaining P2 is already reported in this thread, so I am not adding a duplicate inline comment. Independently confirmed at cmd/gvisor-start-probe/output_linux.go:24-33 and main_linux.go:31,43-45: duplicating stdout and setting nonblocking mode changes the shared open file description, and closing the duplicate does not restore it. A test using the actual probe with an invalid socket directory observed the parent's pipe flags change from 0x1 to 0x801 after the process exited. Programs sharing that inherited terminal/pipe can consequently receive unexpected EAGAIN. Preserve and restore the original flags on normal and error exits, with a regression test; merely adding a deferred Close in main is insufficient because os.Exit bypasses defers.
Fresh isolated Linux validation (no credentials, network disabled): go test -race ./pkg/gvisor ./cmd/gvisor-start-probe -count=1 -timeout=60s, go vet ./pkg/gvisor ./cmd/gvisor-start-probe, probe build with -buildvcs=false, formatting and diff checks passed. Two additional flag-restoration regressions failed, including the actual-process reproduction. Go CI, component and benchmark workflows still require authorization; DCO, GitGuardian and CodeRabbit passed. No live runsc/CRI/GKE trial or full repository suite was run.
Purpose/history remain as in the prior review: accepted experiment #23, companion to still-open #14, whose timing decision was not technical rejection. Refreshed all-state gVisor/SecCheck/container-start/runtime-visibility/receiver searches (100-result caps) found no superseding receiver; older #187 and #164 concern application-profile initialization, not this transport. Search is bounded and cannot exclude unlinked work.
The opt-in scope, unchanged protocol/privacy decoder, and absence of new dependencies remain appropriate. Request changes for the reproduced inherited-output regression; no additional blockers found in the updated code. Head/base and open, non-draft, mergeable status were rechecked before submission.

Re-reviewed 1cd0e2a5fac9f6342aa24777ffb766fc89fa0f8a against main at e33c1ff47693ccd41e633d4a69fdc15bd4629165. Both previous blockers are fixed: full-pipe cancellation completes, and inherited blocking/nonblocking flags are restored on SIGTERM and invalid-directory exits. The new run/Close lifecycle handles the earlier os.Exit concern correctly.
One remaining P2 is already identified in CodeRabbit's latest review, so no duplicate inline comment is needed. At cmd/gvisor-start-probe/main_linux.go:46-48, the callback discards output.Encode errors. I reproduced this with the actual probe: close the stdout pipe's reader, connect and complete the handshake, then send a valid start for the configured ID. The probe remains running with no JSON or error diagnostic; after SIGTERM it exits 0 with empty stderr. A failed output stream can therefore silently invalidate trial evidence. Capture the first non-cancellation write error, cancel the receiver, report the failure and return status 1; retain successful signal cancellation and flag cleanup, and add a closed-output regression test.
Fresh credential-free, network-disabled Linux validation: go test -race ./pkg/gvisor ./cmd/gvisor-start-probe -count=1 -timeout=90s, vet for both packages, probe build with -buildvcs=false, formatting and diff checks passed. Additional independent flag-restoration regressions now pass; the actual-process broken-output regression fails as described. Go CI, component tests and benchmark workflows still require authorization. DCO, GitGuardian and CodeRabbit checks passed. No live runsc/CRI/GKE trial or full repository suite was run.
The need, pinned protocol/privacy review and bounded history searches remain documented in the original review: accepted experiment #23 complements #14, rather than superseding it; the prior approval dismissal concerned LFX timing, not technical rejection. Refreshed all-state gVisor/SecCheck searches (100-result caps) found no superseding receiver; they cannot exclude unlinked work. Scope remains opt-in with no new dependencies or normal node-agent startup changes.
Request changes for confirmed silent output failure; no other remaining blockers found in the updated implementation. Open/non-draft/mergeable status and unchanged head/base were confirmed immediately before submission.

Give the nested build its own cancellation deadline.
The default go test timeout bounds the test binary, but it does not cancel this exec.Command child. A stalled build may survive the test and consume resources, although the Go 1.27 runner's WaitDelay prevents it from blocking the workflow indefinitely. Use a separate timeout for the build.

Approve 858e3bc8077be21280da94aa267a582ebd515330 as an opt-in experiment against main at e33c1ff47693ccd41e633d4a69fdc15bd4629165. No remaining material blockers found. All three previous concerns are addressed: blocked-output cancellation, inherited stdout flag restoration on normal/error exits, and reporting write failures with status 1. The latest change cancels collection on the first non-cancellation output error and preserves cleanup.
Fresh credential-free Linux validation with networking disabled: go test -race ./pkg/gvisor ./cmd/gvisor-start-probe -count=1 -timeout=90s, go vet ./pkg/gvisor ./cmd/gvisor-start-probe, probe build with -buildvcs=false, formatting and diff checks passed. Actual-process tests cover closed output, blocking/nonblocking flag restoration, signal exits and socket cleanup. Independent flag regressions pass. My independent closed-output regression also passes after allowing the receiver's existing two-second idle-client receive timeout; its initial one-second bound was too short for cleanup, not evidence of silent failure on this commit.
The nested-build timeout suggestion is reasonable test hardening, but nonblocking: no repository golangci/noctx requirement or required lint check was found. No duplicate feedback added.
Purpose and history remain established by accepted design #23, issue #894, and the original review. This is the narrower companion to #14; its dismissed approval concerned timing, not technical rejection. Refreshed all-state gVisor/SecCheck searches (100-result caps) found no superseding implementation; bounded searches cannot exclude unlinked work. Normal node-agent startup, protocol/privacy behavior and dependencies remain unchanged by the follow-up fixes.
DCO, GitGuardian and CodeRabbit passed. Go CI, component and benchmark workflows await authorization, so I am not claiming those tests passed. Current branch rules require one independent approval and no status-check contexts. No full repository suite or live runsc/CRI/GKE trial was run. Live ID/timing/privacy validation and production integration remain explicit later gates; this approval covers the experimental receiver, not production or managed-GKE support.
Immediately before submission, confirmed unchanged head/base, open/non-draft/mergeable status and no new review findings.

@dakshhhhh16 should we merge this? |

Yupp! Good to go from my side |
I wanted to start the runtime work with the smallest signal we can describe accurately: a gVisor container starting. This adds an opt-in receiver for the SecCheck remote sink's
container/startpoint and a small Linux probe for testing it. Nothing is enabled in the normal node-agent process yet.The receiver accepts the remote sink's
SOCK_SEQPACKEThandshake and start messages, then checks the reported container ID through a resolver before producing an event. It keeps the source, container ID, observation time, and sender-reported drop count. gVisor includes argv and cwd in start messages even when optional fields are disabled, so the decoder deliberately skips those fields and clears the raw input buffer after processing. The socket lives in a private, receiver-owned directory, input size and connection count are bounded, and a slow consumer has a bounded queue with a drop counter.I included a trial procedure in
docs/gvisor-start-probe.md. The probe takes an exact container ID obtained from the runtime before startup. It is a way to exercise the receiver, not the final node-agent runtime inventory join or an actor identity claim. A later change will wire verified starts into the appropriate node-agent output path once the live trial confirms the ID mapping and event timing.Validation so far:
go test ./pkg/gvisor -count=1passed.git diff --checkis clean.I have not run this receiver against a real
runscSentry or compared it with node-agent's host eBPF observations yet. Those are the next experiment gates from the merged proposal, and I do not want to claim live gVisor coverage from the test sender alone. I also used the earlier runtime proof of concept to check the wire format, while keeping this first implementation limited to start events and sanitized output.Summary by CodeRabbit
