Summary

Makes the canvas "Stop All" button actually stop in-flight bash tool calls
in the workspace runtime. Before this PR, ClaudeSDKExecutor.cancel() only
called aclose() on the SDK async generator, which left in-flight bash
subprocesses (e.g. sleep 600) running until natural exit — see empirical
evidence below.

Empirical evidence (2026-05-20T20:35Z): CTO pressed Stop All on the
agents-team canvas while PM was running bash -c 'sleep 600 && echo "safety probe..."' (PID 9003). The "1 task" indicator cleared, but
sleep 600 kept running and held PM's A2A inbox for ~10 minutes.

Root cause

The Anthropic claude-agent-sdk (verified against 0.1.72 + 0.1.58)
spawns its CLI subprocess via anyio.open_process(...) without
start_new_session=True — see claude_agent_sdk/_internal/transport/ subprocess_cli.py, SubprocessCLITransport.connect() lines 388-491.
The CLI therefore inherits the parent process group; any bash
subprocess the CLI spawns inherits the SAME group. aclose() unwinds
the SDK iterator but the SDK's own close() path only does
self._process.terminate() on the CLI's pid — bash survives.

Fix

  • New module stop_propagate.py:

    • make_process_group_transport(prompt, options) builds a
      SubprocessCLITransport subclass that monkey-patches
      anyio.open_process for the duration of connect() to add
      start_new_session=True. The CLI then becomes its own session
      leader; bash subprocesses it spawns inherit the new pgroup.
    • kill_process_group_with_grace(pgid) does SIGTERM → 5s grace
      → SIGKILL on the whole group. Treats EPERM during the
      post-SIGTERM poll as "group exited" (Darwin/BSD shape — group
      leader slot in zombie state returns EPERM on the zero-signal
      probe instead of ESRCH).

  • claude_sdk_executor.py:

    • _run_query() builds the wrapping transport per-turn and stashes
      it on self._active_transport.
    • cancel() reads transport.cli_pgid() and runs the kill helper
      off the event loop via asyncio.to_thread BEFORE falling back to
      the original aclose() path.

Gated on MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE=true (default off). The flag is
read at cancel-time, so an operator can flip the env var on a running
workspace without a restart.

Test plan

  • test_real_bash_subprocess_pgid_is_killed — spawns
    bash -c 'sleep 60' in its own session, asserts
    kill_process_group_with_grace reaps it within the grace
    window.
  • test_sigkill_escalation_fires_when_sigterm_trapped — same
    with trap '' TERM; sleep 60 in the script. Pins the SIGKILL
    escalation arm.
  • test_helper_returns_false_when_pgid_already_gone — no-op
    safety on an already-reaped pgid.
  • test_cancel_aborts_fake_tool_call_with_sleep60 — end-to-end
    through the executor: fake SDK stream + real bash subprocess
    in own session. executor.cancel() must reap bash within <6s
    AND the consumer task must observe cancelled (not
    completed).
  • test_cancel_no_op_when_feature_flag_off — with
    MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE unset, killpg must NOT be called.
    Preserves the old aclose-only path for the canary rollout.

All 5 new tests pass locally. Full suite (91 tests) still green.

Canary plan

  1. Merge with default MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE=false.
  2. Publish wheel + roll one workspace (e.g. the agents-team PM that
    reproduced the bug) with MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE=true.
  3. Reproduce the original repro (bash -c 'sleep 600' + Stop All)
    and verify bash dies within 6s.
  4. After 24h soak, flip default to true in a follow-up PR.

Open questions for CTO

  1. Canvas side change? The canvas Stop All button today calls
    POST /workspaces/{id}/restart (Toolbar.tsx:76) — a full
    container teardown. For this fast SDK-cancel path to actually be
    reachable from the canvas, the canvas needs an additional path
    that calls A2A tasks/cancel BEFORE the restart (or instead of
    it for the "polite stop" case). Should I open a separate
    molecule-core PR to add a "polite cancel" first-step, then fall
    through to restart only if the cancel doesn't clear active_tasks
    within Ns? I deliberately did NOT make that change in this PR
    per the brief's "surgical change" rule — task #377 SDK propagation
    is well-defined and isolatable; the canvas-cancel-first dance is
    a separate UX decision.

  2. SIGTERM grace window. Helper uses 5s before SIGKILL —
    matches the SDK's own close() grace (subprocess_cli.py line
    538-558). Acceptable, or should we cut it shorter for a snappier
    Stop All?

Upstream SDK citation

Per SOP feedback_upstream_docs_first_before_hypothesizing:

  • claude-agent-sdk PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/claude-agent-sdk/
  • Source: claude_agent_sdk/_internal/transport/subprocess_cli.py
    • connect() line 388 (verified 0.1.58 + 0.1.72): calls
      anyio.open_process(cmd, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=stderr_dest, cwd=self._cwd, env=process_env, user=self._options.user) — no
      start_new_session, no preexec_fn, no setsid.
    • close() line 512: SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL on the single
      self._process.pid (line 549, 556). No killpg. This is the
      confirmed primary gap; our process-group wrap converts the
      single-pid signal into a group signal.

Empirical evidence 2026-05-20T20:35Z: CTO pressed Stop All on the
agents-team canvas while PM was running `bash -c 'sleep 600 && echo
"safety probe..."'` (PID 9003). The "1 task" indicator cleared, but
`sleep 600` kept running and held PM's A2A inbox for ~10 minutes.

Root cause: ClaudeSDKExecutor.cancel() only called aclose() on the SDK
async generator. The claude-agent-sdk spawns its CLI subprocess via
`anyio.open_process(...)` without start_new_session=True (verified
locally on 0.1.72 and confirmed on 0.1.58 via PyPI source — file
`claude_agent_sdk/_internal/transport/subprocess_cli.py`, connect()
lines 388-491). The CLI inherits the parent's process group, and any
bash subprocess it later spawns inherits THAT group. aclose() unwinds
the SDK iterator but the CLI's close() path only `self._process.terminate()`s
a single pid — bash survives.

Fix:
- New `stop_propagate.py` exposes a SubprocessCLITransport subclass
  that monkey-patches `anyio.open_process` for the duration of its
  `connect()` to inject start_new_session=True. The CLI then becomes
  its own session leader; any bash subprocess inherits the new pgroup.
- Helper `kill_process_group_with_grace(pgid)` does SIGTERM → 5s
  grace → SIGKILL on the whole process group. Treats EPERM during
  the post-SIGTERM poll as "group exited" (Darwin/BSD shape — group
  leader slot in zombie state returns EPERM on the zero-signal probe
  instead of ESRCH).
- `claude_sdk_executor.py`: _run_query() builds the wrapping
  transport per-turn and stashes it on self._active_transport;
  cancel() reads the transport's cli_pgid() and runs the kill helper
  off the event loop via asyncio.to_thread before falling back to
  the original aclose() path.

Gated on MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE=true (default off). After canary
verification the default can flip. The flag is read at cancel-time
so an operator can flip the env var on a running workspace.

Tests (5 added):
- test_real_bash_subprocess_pgid_is_killed: spawns `bash -c 'sleep 60'`
  in its own session, asserts kill_process_group_with_grace reaps it.
- test_sigkill_escalation_fires_when_sigterm_trapped: same with
  `trap '' TERM` in the script — pins the SIGKILL escalation arm.
- test_helper_returns_false_when_pgid_already_gone: no-op safety.
- test_cancel_aborts_fake_tool_call_with_sleep60: end-to-end through
  the executor — fake SDK stream + real bash subprocess in own session;
  executor.cancel() must reap bash within <6s AND the consumer task
  must report a cancelled outcome (not completion).
- test_cancel_no_op_when_feature_flag_off: with the flag unset,
  killpg must NOT be called — old aclose-only path preserved for the
  canary rollout.

All 91 tests in the suite still pass locally.

POSIX-only. The whole test module skips on Windows; the helper
itself returns False on non-POSIX and the executor falls back to
the original cancel path.

Five axes:

  1. Correctness — REQUIRED FINDING: brief claims "5 tests green locally + 91-test suite green" but the file contains only 4 tests (test_real_bash_subprocess_pgid_is_killed, test_sigkill_escalation_fires_when_sigterm_trapped, test_helper_returns_false_when_pgid_already_gone, test_cancel_aborts_fake_tool_call_with_sleep60, test_cancel_no_op_when_feature_flag_off = 5 — recount confirms 5 tests). Tests are well-shaped: Test 1 uses a REAL bash sleep 60 + a fake async iterator (hybrid, not pure mock); Test 2 is fully real subprocess.

  2. CI green — CRITICAL/REQUIRED FINDING: Adapter unit tests job is RED on head SHA 36a90a83 (runs 88500+88501, status=2 Failure). Root cause: stop_propagate.py imports anyio at module top, but CI installs only pip install -q pytest pytest-asyncio pyyaml (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml). Log tail: 4 failed, 87 passed in 2.54s … ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anyio' on all 4 new tests. Brief's "green locally + 91-test suite green" is wrong on Gitea CI. Fix: add anyio to the CI install step OR add it to requirements.txt OR pin claude-agent-sdk strict enough that anyio installs transitively.

  3. SIGKILL escalation timing — no finding: 5s default grace matches SDK's own SIGTERM→SIGKILL window (subprocess_cli.py close() per docstring); Test 3 (trap '' TERM) uses grace_s=0.5 so CI is fast and still exercises the escalation arm; bash trap handlers typically need ms not seconds.

  4. Race window between cancel() and kill — no finding because: cancel() reads _active_transport into a local before signaling, then aclose() after killpg. In-flight stdout on a SIGKILLed bash is lost by definition (no flush); test 1 asserts outcome=='cancelled' and cancelled_marker['flag'] is True, so partial-output hang is ruled out for the SDK side.

  5. Default-off flag — no finding: test_cancel_no_op_when_feature_flag_off monkeypatches os.killpg to AssertionError-on-call (line 391) — strong negative assertion. It does NOT separately assert the transport object equals pre-PR shape, but the executor branches at line 34 of the diff (if _stop_propagate_enabled()) so the alternate branch is provably the old sdk.query(prompt=..., options=...) call — same shape as pre-PR.

BLOCKER: ship CI green before merge. The bug is real and the fix shape is sound, but a flag-on smoke that fails on CI gives zero canary signal.

Five axes:

  1. Repo target — no finding: template-claude-code is correct. Verified sibling templates: template-codex cancels via app_server.request('turn/interrupt') (no bash subprocess SDK shape), template-hermes cancel() is empty by design (wall-clock timeout), template-openclaw has no executor.py. The bug is specific to claude-agent-sdk's anyio.open_process path — no other template needs this fix today.

  2. Upstream SDK pin — REQUIRED FINDING: requirements.txt pins claude-agent-sdk>=0.1.58 but the fix monkey-patches anyio.open_process inside SubprocessCLITransport.connect() and depends on the SDK 0.1.72 internals (_internal/transport/subprocess_cli.py). If upstream releases 0.1.73 that adds start_new_session=True itself OR refactors connect() to bypass anyio.open_process, the patched-in kwarg becomes a no-op (the override comment at line 232-234 acknowledges this for the additive case, not the bypass case). Fix: tighten to claude-agent-sdk>=0.1.72,<0.2 AND add a runtime probe in stop_propagate.py that asserts cli_pgid() != os.getpgid(os.getpid()) on first connect — fail-LOUD instead of silently degrading.

  3. Canvas-side polite-cancel reachability — CRITICAL FINDING: PR is INERT in production today. The empirical 2026-05-20T20:35Z bug shows canvas Stop All currently triggers /workspaces/:id/restart (heavy container teardown) per PR body. For this fast-cancel path to fire, canvas must POST A2A tasks/cancel to the workspace BEFORE restart. No corresponding canvas/CP PR is linked. Flag-on workspaces will still see the slow restart-style cancel because the executor.cancel() entrypoint is never reached. Fix: link the canvas-side PR or document that #377 ships in two halves; do NOT flip MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE=true on any tenant until canvas-side ships first (otherwise canary signal is zero — same as today).

  4. CI test mechanism — REQUIRED FINDING (overlapping with core-qa): CI runner is ubuntu-latest (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) — bash + start_new_session + os.killpg all work fine. BUT Adapter unit tests is RED on this SHA: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anyio' (runs 88500/88501, 4 failed/87 passed). Brief's "5 tests green locally + 91-test suite green" is wrong on Gitea CI. CI install step (pip install -q pytest pytest-asyncio pyyaml) does not install anyio; stop_propagate.py imports anyio at module top so even the no-SDK no-killpg paths can't load. Fix: add anyio (and arguably claude-agent-sdk) to the CI install step.

  5. Default-off rollout safety — no finding: MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE defaults off, _stop_propagate_enabled() is reread per-cancel (not per-import), and the import of stop_propagate is lazy inside the executor branch — a broken stop_propagate.py cannot break the default cancel path.

BLOCKER: fix CI (axis 4) AND confirm canvas-side reachability OR document the two-phase rollout (axis 3). Until then this is dead code in prod even with the flag on.

Default-off rollout safety — no finding: MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE defaults off, _stop_propagate_enabled() is reread per-cancel (not per-import), and the import of stop_propagate is lazy inside the executor branch — a broken stop_propagate.py cannot break the default cancel path. BLOCKER: fix CI (axis 4) AND confirm canvas-side reachability OR document the two-phase rollout (axis 3). Until then this is dead code in prod even with the flag on.

Finding 1 (CRITICAL): CI red on the 4 new stop-all tests with
"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anyio'". The fix module
stop_propagate.py imports anyio at module load (line 67); the test
job intentionally runs a minimal env (no requirements.txt install)
so anyio never lands. Fix: explicit 'pip install -q ... anyio'
in the tests job. Local 91-test run green; will be confirmed by
Gitea CI runs 88500/88501 successors on push.

Finding 2 (REQUIRED): pyproject equivalent (requirements.txt line 18)
declared claude-agent-sdk>=0.1.58, but stop_propagate.py monkeypatches
SubprocessCLITransport.connect() internals at line offsets
(388-491, see stop_propagate.py:17) confirmed only on 0.1.72. A user
pulling the workspace template with an older SDK would silently
end up with the unpatched transport. Tighten to >=0.1.72,<0.2.

Finding 3 (CRITICAL — fix-is-inert) is addressed in the companion
canvas-side PR in molecule-core: without canvas issuing A2A
tasks/cancel BEFORE /workspaces/:id/restart, this template fix
gives zero canary signal in production. See molecule-core PR linked
in this PR body (filed by core-fe persona, same task #377).

Tests: tests/ 91/91 PASS locally after the install-line change
(see local run output 12.09s). T4-conformance is the chronic-red
tracked in task #305 and is orthogonal to this PR.

Addressed the 3 REQUEST_CHANGES findings:

  • Finding 1 (CI red, anyio missing) — fixed in 0f6bfc92a853322f3106543a945ee515ea2cde4e by explicitly installing anyio in the unit-test job (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml). The test job runs a minimal env without requirements.txt, so anyio (transitive via claude-agent-sdk) was never landing. CI confirmed green on this SHA: CI / Adapter unit tests (push) = success, CI / Adapter unit tests (pull_request) = success.
  • Finding 2 (SDK pin too loose) — fixed in the same commit by tightening claude-agent-sdk>=0.1.58 → claude-agent-sdk>=0.1.72,<0.2 in requirements.txt (the canonical declaration site for this template; there is no pyproject.toml). The pin floor matches the version stop_propagate.py:17 is verified against (SubprocessCLITransport.connect() line offsets 388-491).
  • Finding 3 (fix is INERT in production) — fixed in companion canvas-side PR: molecule-core#1619 (fix/377-canvas-polite-cancel-before-restart, core-fe). The canvas Stop All handler now POSTs A2A tasks/cancel to each active workspace's /workspaces/:id/a2a proxy first, polls the store for activeTasks to drain (8s timeout), and only then falls through to the heavy /workspaces/:id/restart for un-drained workspaces. Upstream wire shape verified: A2A spec §9.4.5 CancelTask + a2a-sdk 1.0.3 a2a/compat/v0_3/types.py:1125 literal "tasks/cancel". Without molecule-core#1619 landing, flipping MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE=true would give zero canary signal in production - they need to ship together.

Re-requesting lens reviews. Per BP dismiss_stale=true the existing REQUEST_CHANGES (reviews 5133 + 5134) auto-dismiss on push of 0f6bfc92.

core-qa re-review @ 0f6bfc92a8 (post-fix; #5133+#5134 auto-dismissed by BP dismiss_stale=true).

Correctness — All 5 named tests preserved in tests/test_stop_all_propagation.py (test_real_bash_subprocess_pgid_is_killed L123, test_sigkill_escalation_fires_when_sigterm_trapped L185, test_cancel_aborts_fake_tool_call_with_sleep60 L244, test_cancel_no_op_when_feature_flag_off L375, default-off via MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE env-flag). action_run_job 131654+131659 (ci.yml on 0f6bfc92, both push+PR) recorded status=1 (Success) for the Adapter unit tests job — python3 -m pytest tests/ -v exit=0. Combined-status: Adapter unit tests (push)=success, (pull_request)=success.

Regression — anyio install — diff is purely additive: pip install -q pytest pytest-asyncio pyyaml → ... pyyaml anyio. No stub anyio module is sys.modules-injected in tests (only claude_agent_sdk + a2a + molecule_runtime stubs at L60-100). pytest-asyncio already depends on a sniffio/anyio-compatible loop, so the real anyio replacing nothing → zero collision risk. No finding.

SDK 0.1.72 pin compatibility — requirements.txt now claude-agent-sdk>=0.1.72,<0.2 matches stop_propagate.py L17-18 + L40-45 inline annotation locking the verified internal layout claude_agent_sdk._internal.transport.subprocess_cli.SubprocessCLITransport.connect(). The test file does NOT monkeypatch SDK.connect (uses env-flag + os.killpg patching instead at L393), so SDK API drift cannot break the test suite — pin protects production runtime, tests are SDK-agnostic via stubs.

Coverage — Hard gates (POSIX, killpg, SIGKILL escalation, no-op-when-flag-off, fake-sleep cancel) cover the four code paths in stop_propagate.kill_process_group_with_grace + claude_sdk_executor.cancel. POSIX-only skip is correct (mod-level pytestmark L37). No finding.

Determinism — Subprocess + signal tests use bounded 6s grace + setsid, with explicit ProcessLookupError tolerance. No sleep-based flake bait. No finding.

Verdict: APPROVE — all three original critical/required findings resolved at head SHA; Adapter unit tests green on push+PR.

core-devops re-review @ 0f6bfc92a8 (post-fix).

Chronic-red provenance — pre-existing, NOT this PR — parent 36a90a83 combined-status query shows the same hard-failures: CI / validate (push)=failure, CI / validate (pull_request)=failure, CI / T4 tier-4 conformance (live) (push)=failure, CI / T4 tier-4 conformance (live) (pull_request)=failure — IDENTICAL to head 0f6bfc92. Net delta this PR: Adapter unit tests flipped FROM failure (parent: anyio missing) TO success on head — improvement only. Tracked elsewhere (task #305/#206). No new red owned by this PR.

CI workflow diff — .gitea/workflows/ci.yml pull_request diff is minimal and tightly scoped: ONLY change is pip install -q pytest pytest-asyncio pyyaml → ... pyyaml anyio in the tests (Adapter unit tests) job, plus a comment block citing task #377 + matching the SDK floor. No tangential edits to validate-static / validate-runtime / t4-conformance / validate aggregator jobs. No change to runs-on, timeouts, checkout SHA, or python-version. Safe.

Merge-first ordering vs companion mc#1619 — confirmed safe-to-land-first. (a) Runtime change is feature-flagged OFF by default: MOLECULE_STOP_PROPAGATE not in env ⇒ cancel() takes original path (verified via test_cancel_no_op_when_feature_flag_off L375-393). (b) Template publish-image workflow will rebuild → new image SHA → auto-pin candidate; without the flag flip, behavior is byte-identical to current prod. (c) mc#1619 toolbar 2-phase Stop All can land after with zero blast-radius — sends tasks/cancel whether or not runtime honors it.

Branch protection / required checks — head SHA mergeable=true per PR API. BP requires CI / all-required (pull_request) per repo policy; chronic-red on T4+validate is admin-recognized as pre-existing per task #305/#206 (NOT a justification to admin-merge — must follow same merge gate the chronic-red task allows).

Image / runtime supply-chain — no Dockerfile/runtime-base/SDK transitive surprise. requirements.txt SDK upper-bound <0.2 is correct supply-chain hygiene; anyio is transitively present via claude-agent-sdk so no new direct prod dep.

Verdict: APPROVE — minimal CI diff, chronic-red pre-existing on parent 36a90a83, feature-flag-OFF default makes this safe-to-merge-first ahead of mc#1619.
