Crash (EXC_BREAKPOINT/SIGTRAP) during Google OAuth sign-in on macOS 27 beta #862

Description

@AlexDesign420

Description

Rowboat 0.8.7 crashes with EXC_BREAKPOINT / SIGTRAP inside the bundled Node/V8
runtime, reproduced twice within a few minutes on the same machine. Both crash
reports have an (almost) identical native stack, so this looks deterministic
rather than random memory corruption.

Environment

  • Rowboat version: 0.8.7 (latest at time of filing)
  • macOS: 27.0, build 26A5406e (beta)
  • Hardware: Apple Silicon (Mac16,12)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Settings → Connections
  2. Click "Connect" under Google (Primary accounts) to start Gmail sign-in
  3. If the browser callback doesn't complete immediately, click "Connect" again
    before the first attempt finishes/errors
  4. App crashes shortly after — both crashes in the two attached reports happened
    right after TLS certificate validation activity (SecTrustCopyAppleTrustAnchors,
    SecKeyVerifySignature in the system log), consistent with the OAuth token
    exchange network call

Note: retrying "Connect" while a prior sign-in flow is still active also
separately produces a Port 8081 is unavailable (EADDRINUSE) error dialog
(the callback server from the earlier attempt isn't released before the new
one binds) — possibly related, possibly a separate symptom of the same
underlying race.

Crash signature (both reports, same top frames)

Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)

ares_dns_rr_get_ttl            (likely mis-symbolicated, stripped binary)

I want to flag explicitly: the symbol names above are almost certainly
mis-attributed (nearest-export symbolication on a stripped binary) --
please don't read ares_dns_rr_get_ttl or temporal_rs_PlainDateTime_days_in_week
literally as the actual crash site. I'm not filing this as "I found the bug",
just as a reproducible data point: same native crash, same rough location,
twice, correlated with an in-flight HTTPS request during the Google OAuth flow,
on a beta macOS build.

My best-effort read (not a diagnosis, happy to be wrong)

Given this is a beta OS release (26A5406e) and the crash sits inside V8/Node
internals rather than app code, this may well be an Electron/Node/macOS-27-beta
compatibility issue rather than a Rowboat-specific bug -- flagging in case
others hit it on the same beta, or in case it's useful signal either way.

Full .ips crash reports available on request (contain local file paths;
happy to share via a different channel if preferred over pasting them here).
