From ef734ec079cd61ec3cc6756dbfa17cd47ab6b10e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: engineer Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 12:11:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20tunnel=20resilience=20=E2=80=94=20f?= =?UTF-8?q?atal=20error=20detection,=20reachability=20gate,=20re-check=20b?= =?UTF-8?q?efore=20restart,=20watchdog=20jitter=20(#62)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Fix 1: Parse cloudflared stderr for fatal errors (unauthorized, tunnel not found, invalid credentials, etc.) and halt watchdog immediately instead of wasting restart cycles on unrecoverable failures - Fix 2: Gate endpoints.json update on verifyReachable() — tunnel URL is only published after confirming the tunnel is actually reachable - Fix 4a: Re-check ha_connections immediately before doRestart() to avoid killing a tunnel that recovered during the threshold window - Fix 4b: Replace setInterval with self-scheduling setTimeout + random jitter (0-5s) to prevent thundering herd when multiple instances run --- backend/src/services/tunnel-service.ts | 185 ++++++++++++++++--------- bin/cli.ts | 5 +- 2 files changed, 126 insertions(+), 64 deletions(-) diff --git a/backend/src/services/tunnel-service.ts b/backend/src/services/tunnel-service.ts index 01a285f4..67ecc638 100644 --- a/backend/src/services/tunnel-service.ts +++ b/backend/src/services/tunnel-service.ts @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ const AUTH_FILE = path.join(CONFIG_DIR, 'auth.json') const METRICS_PORTS = [20241, 20242, 20243, 20244, 20245] const WATCHDOG_INTERVAL_MS = 30_000 +const WATCHDOG_JITTER_MS = 5_000 const WATCHDOG_FAIL_THRESHOLD = 3 const MAX_RESTARTS = 5 const MAX_RESTART_WINDOW_MS = 10 * 60 * 1000 @@ -24,6 +25,16 @@ const MAX_LOG_BACKUPS = 2 const URL_CAPTURE_TIMEOUT_MS = 30_000 const PROCESS_KILL_TIMEOUT_MS = 5_000 +const FATAL_ERROR_PATTERNS = [ + /unauthorized/i, + /tunnel not found/i, + /failed to connect to an ideally located cfd server/i, + /connection refused/i, + /failed to unmarshal tunnel credentials/i, + /invalid tunnel credentials/i, + /err_tunnel_id/i, +] + interface TunnelStatus { running: boolean url: string | null @@ -39,6 +50,7 @@ interface TunnelStatus { halted: boolean cooldownUntil: number | null cooldownCount: number + fatalError: string | null } error: string | null } @@ -51,7 +63,7 @@ interface AuthConfig { class TunnelService { private process: ChildProcess | null = null private logStream: fs.WriteStream | null = null -
