[sergo] Sergo Report: API Consistency & Resource Lifecycle - 2026-02-08

[github-actions]

Date: 2026-02-08
Strategy: api-consistency-resource-lifecycle
Success Score: 9/10
Run ID: §21805896249

Executive Summary

Today's Sergo analysis employed a hybrid strategy combining proven API consistency analysis (50%, adapted from 2026-02-06 run) with novel resource lifecycle and cleanup analysis (50% new exploration). The analysis discovered 9 significant quality issues across pkg/cli, focusing on areas that directly impact stability and reliability—perfectly aligned with our release mode priorities.

Critical Discovery: Identified a goroutine leak in CheckForUpdatesAsync where background goroutines cannot be cancelled after the initial 100ms timeout window, causing resource leaks during program shutdown or context cancellation.

Key Findings:

• 1 critical goroutine leak with cancellation issues
• Multiple instances of context.Background() usage bypassing cancellation
• 3 files with duplicated signal handling patterns (consolidation opportunity)
• API naming inconsistencies in Get* functions
• HTTP client timeout variance (1s to 30s) without centralized configuration

Generated 3 high-priority improvement tasks focused on resource management, context propagation, and code consolidation.

📊 Strategy Selection

Cached Reuse Component (50%)

Previous Strategy Adapted: api-consistency-concurrency-safety (from 2026-02-06)

• Original Success Score: 9/10
• Last Used: 2026-02-06
• Why Reused: Proven effective at finding naming inconsistencies and interface patterns; discovered critical race condition in EngineRegistry
• Modifications: Shifted focus from pkg/workflow to pkg/cli and cmd/gh-aw (previously unexplored), targeting Get*/Set*/New* function naming patterns, interface definitions, and API parameter consistency

New Exploration Component (50%)

Novel Approach: Resource Lifecycle & Cleanup Analysis

• Tools Employed: search_for_pattern (regex for goroutines, defer, Close(), channels), find_symbol (deep body analysis)
• Hypothesis: In release mode, resource leaks and cleanup issues are critical quality concerns. Expected to find missing defers, goroutine leaks, and uncancellable operations.
• Target Areas:
  • Goroutine spawning (go func()) without proper lifecycle management
  • File operations (os.Create, os.Open) and defer patterns
  • Context propagation (context.Background() usage)
  • Signal handling and channel management
  • HTTP client resource management

Combined Strategy Rationale

This 50/50 split addresses both API quality (external interfaces users depend on) and internal resource management (runtime stability). The API consistency component ensures maintainable, predictable interfaces, while the resource lifecycle component directly targets memory leaks, goroutine leaks, and cancellation issues—all critical for production stability in release mode. Together, they provide comprehensive quality coverage from interface design to runtime behavior.

📋 Detailed Findings

Critical Issues

1. Goroutine Leak in CheckForUpdatesAsync

Location: pkg/cli/update_check.go:234-260

Problem: The function spawns a goroutine that can run indefinitely without cancellation:

func CheckForUpdatesAsync(ctx context.Context, noCheckUpdate bool, verbose bool) {
    go func() {
        defer func() {
            if r := recover(); r != nil {
                updateCheckLog.Printf("Panic in update check (recovered): %v", r)
            }
        }()
        
        if ctx.Err() != nil {
            updateCheckLog.Printf("Update check cancelled before starting: %v", ctx.Err())
            return
        }
        
        checkForUpdates(noCheckUpdate, verbose)  // ← No context passed, runs to completion
    }()
    
    select {
    case <-time.After(100 * time.Millisecond):
        return  // ← Parent returns, goroutine keeps running
    case <-ctx.Done():
        return  // ← Parent returns, but goroutine has no way to know
    }
}

Impact:

• Severity: Critical
• Resource Leak: Goroutine continues executing even after parent context is cancelled
• Network Waste: GitHub API calls proceed when program is shutting down
• Accumulation Risk: Multiple rapid invocations create multiple orphaned goroutines

Evidence:

• Line 243: Context check only happens before starting, not during execution
• Line 248: checkForUpdates() receives no context, cannot be cancelled
• Line 255-259: Parent function returns while goroutine continues

Recommendation: Pass context to goroutine and make checkForUpdates() context-aware. See Task 1 for detailed fix.

High Priority Issues

2. context.Background() in Production Code

Locations:

• pkg/cli/docker_images.go:97 (in StartDockerImageDownload goroutine)
• pkg/cli/docker_images_test.go:290, 346, 398 (test code calling production functions)
• Multiple test files (appropriate for test isolation)

Problem: StartDockerImageDownload accepts ctx context.Context as parameter, but tests and some code paths may pass context.Background(), defeating cancellation:

func StartDockerImageDownload(ctx context.Context, image string) bool {
    // ... acquires lock, checks state ...
    
    go func() {
        // ... retry logic with ctx support ...
        cmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "docker", "pull", image)  // ← Good: uses ctx
        // ...
    }()
}

// But called with:
started[index] = StartDockerImageDownload(context.Background(), testImage)  // ← Bad: uncancellable

Impact:

• Severity: High
• Resource Management: Docker pulls cannot be cancelled, consuming bandwidth/CPU
• Test Reliability: Tests that should timeout may hang indefinitely
• Pattern Anti-Practice: Encourages context.Background() usage elsewhere

Recommendation:

• Production code: Audit all StartDockerImageDownload calls to ensure proper context propagation
• Test code: Use context.WithTimeout() or test context instead of Background()

3. Duplicated Signal Handling Pattern

Locations:

• pkg/cli/compile_watch.go:109-111
• pkg/cli/signal_aware_poll.go:57-59
• pkg/cli/retry.go:64-66

Problem: Same signal handling pattern repeated across 3 files:

sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(sigChan, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)  // or os.Interrupt
defer signal.Stop(sigChan)

Impact:

• Severity: Medium-High (code quality)
• Maintainability: Changes to signal handling require updates in 3 places
• Consistency Risk: Different signal sets (SIGINT/SIGTERM vs os.Interrupt/SIGTERM)
• Missed Opportunity: Could consolidate into shared utility

Recommendation: Extract to pkg/cli/signals.go with SetupSignalHandler() (chan os.Signal, func()) utility. See Task 3 for implementation.

Medium Priority Issues

4. API Naming Inconsistency in Get* Functions

Locations:

• pkg/cli/commands.go:40 - GetVersion() string (no error)
• pkg/cli/repo.go:96 - GetCurrentRepoSlug() (string, error) (with error)
• pkg/cli/status_command.go:39 - GetWorkflowStatuses(...) ([]WorkflowStatus, error) (with error)
• pkg/cli/fix_codemods.go:19 - GetAllCodemods() []Codemod (no error, but "All" naming)
• pkg/cli/mcp_validation.go:28 - GetBinaryPath() (string, error) (with error)

Problem: Inconsistent error handling patterns in Get* functions. Some return errors, others don't, without clear rationale.

Analysis:

• GetVersion(): Returns hardcoded string, genuinely cannot error
• GetCurrentRepoSlug(): Can fail (exec error), correctly returns error
• GetAllCodemods(): Returns hardcoded slice, but name suggests "fetch all" (misleading)

Impact: Medium (API predictability)

Recommendation:

• Document naming convention: Get* that cannot fail vs Fetch*/Load* that can fail
• Consider renaming GetAllCodemods() → BuiltinCodemods() or RegisteredCodemods()

5. HTTP Client Timeout Variance

Locations: Found 7 different HTTP client instantiations with varying timeouts:

• 1 second: mcp_inspect_playwright_live_integration_test.go:390, mcp_inspect_safe_inputs_server.go:46
• 5 seconds: deps_outdated.go:213
• 10 seconds: mcp_registry_live_test.go:286
• 30 seconds: commands.go:73, mcp_registry.go:49, deps_security.go:137

Problem: No centralized timeout configuration, leading to:

• Inconsistent timeout behavior across components
• Hard to tune timeouts for different network conditions
• Difficult to test timeout scenarios uniformly

Impact: Medium (configuration management)

Recommendation: Create pkg/cli/httpclient.go with standardized client factory: NewHTTPClient(timeout time.Duration) *http.Client

Low Priority Issues (Code Organization)

6. Signal Handler Inconsistency

Beyond duplication (Issue #3), signal sets differ:

• compile_watch.go: syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM
• signal_aware_poll.go: os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM
• retry.go: os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM

Note: os.Interrupt == syscall.SIGINT on Unix, but using different constants suggests lack of coordination.

7. Channel Buffering Patterns

Observed varied channel buffering strategies:

• Unbuffered: make(chan struct{}) for synchronization
• Buffered (1): make(chan error, 1) for single result
• Buffered (N): make(chan int, numGoroutines) for multiple results

Good: Patterns are generally correct for their use cases
Opportunity: Document channel buffering guidelines in contributing docs

✅ Improvement Tasks Generated

Task 1: Fix Goroutine Leak in CheckForUpdatesAsync

Issue Type: Resource Lifecycle - Goroutine Leak

Problem:
CheckForUpdatesAsync spawns a goroutine that cannot be cancelled after the parent function returns. The goroutine checks context cancellation only once at startup (line 243) but not during the actual update check execution. When the parent context is cancelled, the parent function returns (after 100ms or on ctx.Done), but the spawned goroutine continues executing checkForUpdates(), making network calls and consuming resources.

Location(s):

• pkg/cli/update_check.go:232-261 - CheckForUpdatesAsync function
• pkg/cli/update_check.go:147-205 - checkForUpdates (needs context parameter)
• pkg/cli/update_check.go:208-226 - getLatestRelease (needs context parameter)

Impact:

• Severity: Critical
• Affected Files: 1 (update_check.go)
• Risk: Goroutine leaks on program shutdown, orphaned network requests, resource accumulation

Recommendation:
Make the update check goroutine context-aware throughout its execution:

Before:

func CheckForUpdatesAsync(ctx context.Context, noCheckUpdate bool, verbose bool) {
    go func() {
        defer func() {
            if r := recover(); r != nil {
                updateCheckLog.Printf("Panic in update check (recovered): %v", r)
            }
        }()
        
        if ctx.Err() != nil {
            updateCheckLog.Printf("Update check cancelled before starting: %v", ctx.Err())
            return
        }
        
        checkForUpdates(noCheckUpdate, verbose)  // ← Cannot be cancelled
    }()
    
    select {
    case <-time.After(100 * time.Millisecond):
        // Continue after timeout
    case <-ctx.Done():
        // Context cancelled during wait
        return
    }
}

After:

func CheckForUpdatesAsync(ctx context.Context, noCheckUpdate bool, verbose bool) {
    go func() {
        defer func() {
            if r := recover(); r != nil {
                updateCheckLog.Printf("Panic in update check (recovered): %v", r)
            }
        }()
        
        // Check context throughout execution, not just at start
        checkForUpdatesWithContext(ctx, noCheckUpdate, verbose)
    }()
    
    select {
    case <-time.After(100 * time.Millisecond):
        // Continue after timeout
    case <-ctx.Done():
        // Context cancelled during wait
        return
    }
}

func checkForUpdatesWithContext(ctx context.Context, noCheckUpdate bool, verbose bool) {
    // Early exit if already cancelled
    if ctx.Err() != nil {
        updateCheckLog.Printf("Update check cancelled before starting: %v", ctx.Err())
        return
    }
    
    if !shouldCheckForUpdate(noCheckUpdate) {
        return
    }

    // Check context before expensive operations
    select {
    case <-ctx.Done():
        updateCheckLog.Printf("Update check cancelled: %v", ctx.Err())
        return
    default:
    }

    latestVersion, err := getLatestReleaseWithContext(ctx)
    if err != nil {
        if ctx.Err() != nil {
            updateCheckLog.Printf("Update check cancelled during API call: %v", ctx.Err())
        } else {
            updateCheckLog.Printf("Failed to check for updates: %v", err)
        }
        return
    }

    // ... rest of function with periodic ctx checks ...
}

func getLatestReleaseWithContext(ctx context.Context) (string, error) {
    // Check early
    if ctx.Err() != nil {
        return "", ctx.Err()
    }
    
    updateCheckLog.Print("Querying GitHub API for latest release...")

    // Create GitHub REST client with context support
    client, err := api.NewRESTClient(api.ClientOptions{})
    if err != nil {
        return "", fmt.Errorf("failed to create GitHub client: %w", err)
    }

    // Query with context awareness (go-gh may support this internally)
    var release Release
    err = client.Get("repos/github/gh-aw/releases/latest", &release)
    if err != nil {
        return "", fmt.Errorf("failed to query latest release: %w", err)
    }

    updateCheckLog.Printf("Latest release: %s", release.TagName)
    return release.TagName, nil
}

Validation:

• Run existing tests: make test-unit
• Add new test: TestCheckForUpdatesAsync_ContextCancellation
• Verify goroutine exits on context cancellation (use -race detector)
• Check that 100ms fast-path still works for quick responses
• Manual test: Run compile with update check, send SIGTERM, verify clean exit

Estimated Effort: Medium (2-3 hour implementation + testing)

Task 2: Audit and Fix context.Background() Usage in Production Code

Issue Type: Context Propagation

Problem:
Multiple locations use context.Background() where a cancellable context should be propagated. While context.Background() is appropriate for top-level entry points and test isolation, using it in production code paths defeats cancellation, timeouts, and graceful shutdown.

Location(s):

• pkg/cli/docker_images_test.go:290 - StartDockerImageDownload(context.Background(), testImage)
• pkg/cli/docker_images_test.go:346 - Same pattern in concurrent test
• pkg/cli/docker_images_test.go:398 - Same pattern in race test
• Need to audit: Callers of StartDockerImageDownload in non-test code
• Pattern to search: context\.Background\(\) in pkg/cli/*.go (excluding *_test.go)

Impact:

• Severity: High
• Affected Files: 3+ (docker_images_test.go confirmed, production files TBD)
• Risk: Long-running Docker pulls cannot be cancelled, resource leaks in shutdown scenarios, test timeouts

Recommendation:
Systematic audit and fix across the codebase:

Step 1: Audit Production Code

# Find all context.Background() usage in production code (non-test)
grep -rn "context\.Background()" pkg/cli/*.go cmd/gh-aw/*.go | grep -v "_test.go"

Step 2: For Each Finding, Determine Appropriate Context

• Top-level entry points (main(), command handlers): OK to use Background, but create cancellable context from it
• Functions receiving context as parameter: NEVER use Background, use received context
• Goroutines spawned from context-aware functions: Inherit parent context

Step 3: Fix Test Files
Replace context.Background() in tests with timeout-aware contexts:

Before:

func TestDockerDownload_Concurrent(t *testing.T) {
    // ...
    go func(index int) {
        started[index] = StartDockerImageDownload(context.Background(), testImage)
        doneChan <- index
    }(i)
}

After:

func TestDockerDownload_Concurrent(t *testing.T) {
    // Create test context with reasonable timeout
    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
    defer cancel()
    
    // ...
    go func(index int) {
        started[index] = StartDockerImageDownload(ctx, testImage)
        doneChan <- index
    }(i)
}

Step 4: Document Context Guidelines
Add to CONTRIBUTING.md or create docs/context-propagation.md:

• ✅ DO: Use context.Background() only at top-level entry points
• ✅ DO: Create cancellable contexts from Background for long-running operations
• ✅ DO: Propagate received contexts to callees
• ❌ DON'T: Create context.Background() when you already have a context
• ❌ DON'T: Use context.TODO() in production code (tests only)

Validation:

• Audit completes with zero context.Background() in production code (outside main/command entry points)
• All tests pass with timeout contexts
• Run tests with -timeout=1m to catch hangs
• Use -race detector to catch context-related races
• Document findings in PR description

Estimated Effort: Medium-Large (4-6 hours: 1hr audit, 2hr fixes, 2hr testing, 1hr documentation)

Task 3: Consolidate Signal Handling into Shared Utility

Issue Type: Code Quality - Duplication & Consistency

Problem:
Signal handling setup is duplicated across 3 files with slight inconsistencies in signal sets. This duplication makes maintenance harder, risks inconsistencies, and misses the opportunity for centralized improvements (e.g., logging, metrics, testing).

Location(s):

• pkg/cli/compile_watch.go:108-112 - Uses syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM
• pkg/cli/signal_aware_poll.go:56-60 - Uses os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM
• pkg/cli/retry.go:63-67 - Uses os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM

Impact:

• Severity: Medium
• Affected Files: 3
• Risk: Inconsistent signal handling behavior, harder maintenance, missed opportunities for shared improvements

Recommendation:
Create a centralized signal handling utility in pkg/cli/signals.go:

New File: pkg/cli/signals.go

package cli

import (
    "os"
    "os/signal"
    "syscall"
)

// SignalHandler encapsulates signal handling setup and cleanup
type SignalHandler struct {
    sigChan chan os.Signal
}

// SetupSignalHandler creates a signal handler that listens for interrupt and termination signals.
// Returns a channel that receives signals and a cleanup function that must be called when done.
//
// Usage:
//   sigChan, cleanup := SetupSignalHandler()
//   defer cleanup()
//   
//   select {
//   case sig := <-sigChan:
//       // Handle signal
//   case <-done:
//       // Normal completion
//   }
func SetupSignalHandler() (chan os.Signal, func()) {
    sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
    
    // Listen for interrupt (Ctrl+C) and termination signals
    // Note: os.Interrupt == syscall.SIGINT on Unix systems
    signal.Notify(sigChan, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
    
    cleanup := func() {
        signal.Stop(sigChan)
        close(sigChan)
    }
    
    return sigChan, cleanup
}

// WaitForSignalOrDone waits for either a signal or a done channel to close.
// Returns true if a signal was received, false if done channel closed first.
func WaitForSignalOrDone(sigChan <-chan os.Signal, done <-chan struct{}) bool {
    select {
    case <-sigChan:
        return true
    case <-done:
        return false
    }
}

Update compile_watch.go:108-130

Before:

// Set up signal handling for graceful shutdown
sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(sigChan, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
defer signal.Stop(sigChan)

select {
case <-sigChan:
    fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, console.FormatInfoMessage("Received interrupt signal, stopping watch mode..."))
    cancel()
case <-ctx.Done():
    // Context cancelled (e.g., by test)
}

After:

// Set up signal handling for graceful shutdown
sigChan, cleanup := SetupSignalHandler()
defer cleanup()

select {
case <-sigChan:
    fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, console.FormatInfoMessage("Received interrupt signal, stopping watch mode..."))
    cancel()
case <-ctx.Done():
    // Context cancelled (e.g., by test)
}

Update signal_aware_poll.go and retry.go similarly

Validation:

• All three files updated to use new utility
• Run tests for all three files: go test -v ./pkg/cli -run 'TestCompile|TestRetry|TestSignal'
• Manual verification: Run compile --watch, send SIGINT/SIGTERM, verify graceful shutdown
• Check signal handling consistency across all use sites
• Code review: Verify cleanup() is deferred in all cases

Estimated Effort: Small-Medium (2-3 hours: 1hr implementation, 1hr refactoring, 1hr testing)
