From 3befd2309c450ab993b8d846fd92aa920ef27713 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeroen Schweitzer Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 21:14:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(client):=20address=20PR=20#5=20review=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20race=20condition,=20buffer=20corruption,=20input=20?= =?UTF-8?q?error?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Critical fixes from Hoshe review: 1. Race condition: defer TCP connect to _process() with retry logic (MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES=20, 100ms interval) so server has time to bind. 2. Buffer corruption: disconnect on oversized message instead of clearing valid buffered data (_corrupt flag, fail-safe). 3. Silent input drop: send_input() returns Error so callers can detect encode/validation failures. Warnings addressed: - ServerProcess validates server_path exists before spawning - SIGKILL and health check TODOs documented for future work - Diagonal keybindings documented as intentional deferral - send_message uses single put_data() call (no partial write risk) - Static frame helpers documented as D-030 Layer 2 test-only New tests (36 total, up from 33): - Partial read scenario (chunked TCP delivery) - Multi-message sequential decode (exercises buffer corruption fix) - send_input error return on invalid action Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 --- client/scripts/autoloads/input_mapper.gd | 2 + client/scripts/autoloads/sim_bridge.gd | 86 ++++++++++++++++++----- client/scripts/protocol/local_bridge.gd | 44 ++++++++---- client/scripts/protocol/server_process.gd | 7 ++ client/tests/test_local_bridge.gd | 69 ++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 175 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/client/scripts/autoloads/input_mapper.gd b/client/scripts/autoloads/input_mapper.gd index faf10eebc..6ec767791 100644 --- a/client/scripts/autoloads/input_mapper.gd +++ b/client/scripts/autoloads/input_mapper.gd @@ -1,6 +1,8 @@ extends Node # Semantic actions — NO raw key codes cross the bridge +# Diagonal directions registered in project.godot with empty event arrays (intentional). +# Keybindings deferred until input design is finalized — likely numpad or composite WASD. enum Action { MOVE_NORTH, MOVE_NORTHEAST, MOVE_EAST, MOVE_SOUTHEAST, MOVE_SOUTH, MOVE_SOUTHWEST, MOVE_WEST, MOVE_NORTHWEST, diff --git a/client/scripts/autoloads/sim_bridge.gd b/client/scripts/autoloads/sim_bridge.gd index 3f8e02b82..9bda09f94 100644 --- a/client/scripts/autoloads/sim_bridge.gd +++ b/client/scripts/autoloads/sim_bridge.gd @@ -15,6 +15,12 @@ var _server: ServerProcess = null var server_port: int = 9800 var server_path: String = "" # Path to server binary — set before connect_to_sim() +# Connection retry state — handles server startup delay (Critical fix #1) +const MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES: int = 20 # ~2 seconds at 60fps with 100ms delay +const CONNECT_RETRY_INTERVAL: float = 0.1 # Seconds between retry attempts +var _connect_retries: int = 0 +var _retry_timer: float = 0.0 + # Signals signal connection_state_changed(old_state: ConnectionState, new_state: ConnectionState) signal snapshot_received(snapshot: Dictionary) @@ -32,7 +38,8 @@ func _set_state(new_state: ConnectionState) -> void: # Connect to simulation server. # In test mode, immediately transitions to CONNECTED. -# In live mode, spawns server subprocess and connects via TCP. +# In live mode, spawns server subprocess and defers TCP connection to _process() +# to allow the server time to bind its port. func connect_to_sim() -> void: _set_state(ConnectionState.CONNECTING) @@ -49,14 +56,10 @@ func connect_to_sim() -> void: _set_state(ConnectionState.ERROR) return - # Connect TCP bridge - _bridge = LocalBridge.new() - var err := _bridge.connect_to_server("127.0.0.1", server_port) - if err != OK: - push_error("SimBridge: failed to initiate TCP connection: %s" % error_string(err)) - _set_state(ConnectionState.ERROR) - return - # State transitions to CONNECTED in _process() when TCP handshake completes + # Defer TCP connection to _process() — server needs time to bind its port + _connect_retries = 0 + _retry_timer = 0.0 + _bridge = null # Disconnect from simulation server func disconnect_from_sim() -> void: @@ -66,19 +69,61 @@ func disconnect_from_sim() -> void: if _server != null: _server.stop() _server = null + _connect_retries = 0 _set_state(ConnectionState.DISCONNECTED) +# Attempt TCP connection.
