From 7c449b8b73b2fe20924d5d5a79e4bb554043a8fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: deseltrus <101901449+deseltrus@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:46:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] feat: worker NDJSON monitoring + budget enforcement for parallel orchestration (#814) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * feat: worker NDJSON monitoring, budget enforcement, PID-based stop fallback Closes three gaps in parallel orchestration: 1. **Worker stdout monitoring** — Workers now run with `--mode json` so they emit NDJSON events. The coordinator parses stdout line-by-line, extracting cost/token data from `message_end` events. This keeps per-worker cost tracking in sync with actual API spend and updates session status files for live dashboard visibility. 2. **Budget enforcement before spawn** — `startParallel()` now checks `isBudgetExceeded()` before each worker spawn. When the aggregate cost across all workers reaches the configured ceiling, no new workers are started. 3. **PID-based stop fallback** — `stopParallel()` now falls back to `process.kill(pid, "SIGTERM")` when the ChildProcess handle is null (e.g., after coordinator restart when handles aren't available). Previously, orphaned workers could not be stopped. Includes 11 new tests covering NDJSON format validation, cost aggregation, budget ceiling comparison, and PID-based kill patterns. All 54 existing parallel-orchestration tests still pass.
