概要

macOS native capture helper が完成済みMP4を書き出した後、stopped 通知前後で終了した場合に、録画を保存失敗として取り残さないようにします。

Closes nanameru#4

変更内容

  • stop acknowledgement失敗時にhelper終了を最大5秒確認
  • mp4boxでMP4をstreaming解析し、実映像track・sample tableを持つ出力だけを救済
  • 正常停止、救済成功、helper生存、壊れたMP4の回帰テストを追加
  • macOS stop responseへrecoveredを追加
  • Issue #4に対応するtest-board.yamlを追加

検証

  • npm test: 188 files passed / 2246 tests passed / 2 skipped
  • npx tsc --noEmit: pass
  • npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit: pass
  • npm run lint: pass(既存warning 15件)
  • npm run build-vite: pass
  • 実際に取り残された18MB MP4: 救済可能と判定
  • atom名だけの偽MP4: 救済不可と判定
  • 署名済みApple Siliconアプリで5秒録画し、MP4、cursor sidecar、session manifest、.openscreen projectの保存を確認
  • 保存MP4: H.264 / 2880x1800 / 193 frames / 5.08秒

リスク

  • stop失敗後の解析はhelper終了後に限定し、書込み中ファイルは扱いません。
  • mp4boxは1MiB単位で読み、mdatを保持しないため、大容量録画を一括でメモリへ載せません。
  • 完成条件を満たさない出力では従来どおり失敗を返します。

補足

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The macOS native recording stop path validates completed MP4 files, recovers valid files after failed helper shutdown, and reports recovery status through the IPC result. Tests cover successful stops, recovery, invalid files, active helpers, and missing output paths.

Changes

Native macOS recording recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
MP4 validation and stop resolution
electron/recording/nativeMacCaptureStop.ts, electron/recording/nativeMacCaptureStop.test.ts
The recording module validates MP4 structure and video metadata. It preserves successful acknowledgements, falls back to the preferred path when needed, and recovers valid files only after helper exit. Tests cover success, recovery, invalid files, active helpers, and missing paths.
IPC stop integration
electron/ipc/handlers.ts, electron/electron-env.d.ts
The IPC handler handles closed helper pipes, waits for helper termination, delegates stop resolution, logs recovered recordings, and returns recovered with a recovery-specific message.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b3528

The change adds macOS recording recovery, but the current source still contains a malformed comment line that can block compilation, and recovery may perform unnecessary I/O on very large recordings. It is not merge-ready until the syntax issue is corrected.

site:nodejs.org/api child_process ChildProcess stdin writable stream error event unhandled

💡 Result:

In Node.js, the subprocess.stdin property of a ChildProcess object is a writable stream [1]. Like all EventEmitter-based objects in Node.js, writable streams emit an 'error' event when an error occurs during operations such as writing or piping data [2][3][4]. If an 'error' event is emitted on a writable stream and no listener is registered to handle it, the error is thrown, resulting in an uncaught exception that will typically cause the Node.js process to exit and crash [3][4][5]. This occurs because 'error' events are treated as special cases in the Node.js event emitter implementation; they do not propagate or get caught by surrounding try...catch blocks if they occur asynchronously after the initial call stack has cleared [3][4][5]. To prevent this, you should always attach an 'error' listener to the subprocess.stdin stream [4]. Example of proper handling: const { spawn } = require('node:child_process'); const subprocess = spawn('some-command'); subprocess.stdin.on('error', (err) => { console.error('An error occurred on stdin:', err); }); // Proceed with writing to stdin subprocess.stdin.write('some data'); Additionally, be aware that if the child process exits or closes the pipe unexpectedly, attempts to write to the stdin stream may trigger these errors [2][3]. As a best practice, always monitor the stream for errors to ensure process stability [4].

Citations:


Handle proc.stdin errors before recovery.

If the helper closes its command pipe while proc.stdin.write("stop\n") is pending, the writable stream can emit EPIPE. The macOS capture drain has no proc.stdin error listener, so the unhandled event can terminate the main process before resolveNativeMacCaptureStop runs. Add a persistent listener that records the error and rejects the stop wait, allowing the existing exit-and-MP4 recovery path to handle it. Add a regression test for a helper that exits while the stop command is written.

mp4box npm 2.3.0 createFile appendBuffer return next buffer offset official

💡 Result:

In mp4box.js, the appendBuffer(data) method is designed to assist in progressive file parsing. When you pass an ArrayBuffer to this method, it expects the buffer to have a fileStart property (a Number) that indicates the 0-based byte position of that buffer within the original file [1][2][3]. The appendBuffer method returns the file offset that is expected to be the fileStart value for the next chunk of data [1][2][3]. This return value is intended to help you manage the reading process, particularly in cases where the moov box is not located at the beginning of the file, allowing the parser to request specific parts of the file needed for successful decoding [1][2][3]. Example usage: var ab = getArrayBuffer; // Method returning your ArrayBuffer ab.fileStart = 0; // Set the starting position of this buffer var nextBufferStart = mp4boxfile.appendBuffer(ab); // Use the returned value for the next read [1][2][3] Note that while the returned offset is intended to guide the next request, users have reported in various GitHub issues that it is crucial to handle potential mismatches or loops in logic if the returned offset does not advance as expected, sometimes necessitating manual management of the offset based on your application's read logic [4][5][6]. Always ensure your ArrayBuffer is correctly assigned the fileStart property before calling the method [1][2].

Use the next offset returned by appendBuffer.

appendBuffer returns the file offset for the next read. Line 55 ignores this value and advances by one megabyte. For a large mdat before moov, this can force sequential reads through the complete recording and delay stop recovery and manifest creation. Set the next read offset from the returned value, and add a regression case for a multi-chunk mdat before moov.

The stop handler used to fall back to the preferred path and throw when
neither path named an output; routing it through resolveNativeMacCaptureStop
returned the acknowledged value as-is, so an acknowledgement resolving ""
became a success with an empty path, a manifest written under RECORDINGS_DIR
for no file, and an editor opened on nothing.
…ry runs

Writing "stop\n" to a helper that has already closed its command pipe raises
EPIPE on proc.stdin. The macOS drain attached no 'error' listener to the pipes,
so that event had nowhere to go, and an unhandled 'error' in the main process is
an uncaught exception rather than a rejected promise.

It would have fired on precisely the failure this PR recovers from: the helper
dying around the stop acknowledgement. The main process would go down before
resolveNativeMacCaptureStop ever looked for the finished MP4.

proc.once("error") already there covers the ChildProcess, not its pipes. The
Windows drain hit this first and guards all three streams; this mirrors it.

Pushed b3528b9 — CodeRabbit's stdin finding was real, and it defeated the whole PR.

attachNativeMacCaptureOutputDrain attached no error listener to the helper pipes. Writing stop\n to a helper that already closed its command pipe raises EPIPE on proc.stdin, and an unhandled error in the main process is an uncaught exception, not a rejected promise. So on exactly the failure this PR recovers from — the helper dying around the stop acknowledgement — the app would have gone down before resolveNativeMacCaptureStop ever looked for the finished MP4.

proc.once("error") was already there but covers the ChildProcess, not its pipes. attachNativeWindowsCaptureOutputDrain hit this first and guards all three streams with a comment saying why; this mirrors it.

Left for you, the second finding, worth doing but not blocking: the read loop in nativeMacCaptureStop.ts always advances by 1 MB instead of using the offset parser.appendBuffer returns. It is correct, just wasteful — on a long take with moov at the end it reads the entire file at stop time, on the recovery path, when the user is already waiting.

Correcting myself on the read loop, and reporting something bigger that came out of measuring it.

The read loop. I called it wasteful and said honouring appendBuffer's return value would fix it. Half right. Measured on a 2.08 GB file: flat layout reads 2 083 267 795 bytes today against 1 139 265 with the return value honoured, so 1828x — but on a fragmented file the gain is exactly zero. mp4box@2.3.0 only skips a mdat while moovStartFound is false (processIncompleteBox), and a fragmented file has its moov first. Cost either way is ~1.1 s per 2 GB, so roughly 2 s for a 30-minute take on NVMe. Real, but smaller than I implied.

The bigger one: the salvage verdict is wrong on fragmented output. getInfo() reports movie.duration = mvhd.duration and track.duration = mdhd.duration raw, and both are 0 in a fragmented init moov. hasReadableVideoStream requires duration > 0, so it returns false on a 300 s 1080p H.264 test file that ffprobe reads without complaint. The empty init sample table means nb_samples fails the same way.

That is the exact case the recovery exists for. ScreenCaptureRecorder.swift:485 sets movieFragmentInterval and says so in its own comment: "the difference between a readable file and a total loss when the helper dies before reaching it". A helper that dies before finishWriting() leaves precisely that fragmented file, and this predicate throws it away.

info.fragment_duration is populated and currently ignored — measured {num: 15360, den: 15360} on the same file.

So as it stands the PR recovers "finishWriting succeeded, the acknowledgement was lost", not "the helper was killed". Still worth landing, but the second half is where #252/#292/#327/#621 live.

One thing I could not check from Windows: whether finishWriting() really rewrites a flat moov when movieFragmentInterval is set, as that comment asserts. You have a Mac and a real abandoned file — if it does not, the verdict is wrong on every recovery, not only post-crash ones. Worth confirming before this goes further.

My previous commit put a literal escape in a comment and it landed as a real
newline, splitting the line and leaving an unterminated string literal. Same
text, no escape.
