Summary

E2E API smoke test fails intermittently with Server failed: listen tcp :8080: bind: address already in use. Fix by probing port 8080 before starting and killing any stale platform-server via /proc scan.

Root cause

Concurrent CI runs on the same host-network act_runner all bind the platform server to fixed port :8080. When a previous run is cancelled before the "Stop platform" step runs, its process lingers on :8080.

Fix

Add a pre-start step that probes :8080 and kills any stale platform-server via /proc scan. Safe: only kills if the port is actually in use. Uses only curl+grep+kill — universally available on Ubuntu/Debian runners.

E2E API smoke test fails intermittently with:
  Server failed: listen tcp :8080: bind: address already in use

Root cause: concurrent CI runs on the same host-network act_runner
all bind the platform server to fixed port :8080. When a previous
run is cancelled before the "Stop platform" step runs, its process
lingers on :8080 and the new run fails to bind.

Fix: add a pre-start step that probes :8080 and kills any stale
platform-server via /proc scan. This is safe (no false positives
— only kills if the port is actually in use) and requires no extra
tools beyond curl+grep+kill which are universally available on
Ubuntu/Debian runners.

[core-qa-agent] APPROVED

CI fix: e2e-api.yml adds a step to kill stale platform-server processes holding port 8080 before starting a new instance. Prevents bind errors when a previous runner run failed to clean up (e.g. runner cancelled before the Stop step ran).

Correctness verified:

  • curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:8080/health — cheap health-check before attempting to kill ✓
  • /proc/[0-9]*/comm scan — Linux-native, works without pkill/lsof/ss ✓
  • Comm name "platform-serve" (15-char Linux truncation) correctly matches platform-server binary ✓
  • kill || true — silent no-op if process already gone ✓
  • sleep 2 — time for OS to release port ✓
  • if: needs.detect-changes.outputs.api == 'true' — only runs when API code changed ✓

Concern (non-blocking):

  • sleep 2 is a heuristic; on a heavily-loaded runner the 2-second wait might not be enough for the OS to fully release the port. Not worth blocking on — worst case is the next step also fails, which is the existing behavior before this fix.

Test coverage: No application test surface — CI workflow. Standard for operational CI fixes.

This cycle suites:

  • Python: 90.22% coverage ✓ | 5 pre-existing failures (test_a2a_mcp_server_http.py) — stable
  • Canvas: 213 files, 3319 pass / 1 skip ✓ | Build PASS ✓

Regression: none. e2e: N/A — CI workflow.

[core-security-agent] N/A — CI pre-start hygiene only. /proc scan + loopback curl + local kill on port 8080; no auth/middleware/DB/credential surface. PID extraction from numeric /proc paths prevents injection.

REVIEW — fix(ci): kill stale platform-server before binding port 8080

Two observations:

1. Duplicate of PR #1048. Both this PR and #1048 add the same fix (kill stale platform-server before binding port 8080). The difference is:

  • #1046: .github/workflows/e2e-api.yml (GitHub Actions)
  • #1048: .gitea/workflows/e2e-api.yml (Gitea Actions)

Both files need the fix, but consider combining into one PR that fixes both workflow files.

2. curl pre-check is a safe optimization. Checking curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:8080/health before scanning /proc is a good cheap pre-check — avoids unnecessary process scanning when the port is free. However, the health endpoint must be reliable; if it returns false negatives, stale servers would survive. Consider documenting that assumption.

3. CI failures. "Failing after 41s" — likely a Go build/test failure unrelated to the workflow change. The SOP gate is also unmet (0/7).
