Bound retained workspaces and expose runtime memory - #218

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds configurable heap snapshot capture, runtime health metrics, workspace cache eviction and pruning, stale conversation cleanup, and persistence statistics. The server integrates monitoring and maintenance into startup and shutdown. ChangesRuntime diagnostics and workspace maintenance
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds bounded workspace retention, runtime health metrics, and optional heap diagnostics, but the current implementation can disrupt long-lived MCP activity, leave resources or child processes active during shutdown, expose runtime counts without authentication, or trigger heap-capture/startup failures under specific configuration and filesystem conditions. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness, availability, and security risks to be fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Greptile SummaryThis PR bounds retained workspace state, restores evicted workspace IDs from SQLite, prunes stale conversation bindings, adds runtime statistics to health checks, and introduces an opt-in heap snapshot guard. Two continuity and startup failure paths remain:
Confidence Score: 3/5The workspace-restoration continuity failure and opt-in diagnostic startup crash should be fixed before merging. Automatic eviction can invalidate reads under previously activated skill directories, while an unreadable or non-directory diagnostics path can terminate startup whenever heap snapshots are enabled. Files Needing Attention: src/workspaces.ts and src/heap-snapshot-guard.ts
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| src/workspaces.ts | Adds bounded LRU/idle eviction and transparent restoration, but restoration drops activated skill-directory state required by later reads. |
| src/workspace-store.ts | Adds aggregate session statistics and age-based deletion of conversation bindings without deleting workspace sessions. |
| src/server.ts | Schedules workspace maintenance, reports bounded runtime state, and starts the optional heap guard; startup inherits uncaught guard-construction failures. |
| src/heap-snapshot-guard.ts | Implements a one-shot RSS-triggered heap snapshot, but an existing invalid diagnostics path can throw outside its error callback. |
| src/config.ts | Adds validated opt-in configuration for the heap snapshot threshold. |

Restoration loses activated skill state
When a workspace activates a skill directory and is later evicted by the idle or capacity limit, getWorkspace restores it with an empty activatedSkillDirs set, causing subsequent reads under that previously activated directory to be rejected as outside the workspace root.

Diagnostics inspection can abort startup
If heap snapshots are enabled and the existing diagnostics path is unreadable or is a file, readdirSync throws outside the guard's error-handling path, causing createServer to fail and the service to terminate during startup instead of logging the diagnostic failure.

Do not convert an empty opt-in setting into a one-byte threshold.
Line 248 treats "" as configured. parsePositiveInteger then returns its fallback value of 1. The server starts the guard and captures a snapshot at startup because RSS exceeds one byte.
Treat an empty value as disabled, or reject it. Add a regression test for DEVSPACE_HEAP_SNAPSHOT_THRESHOLD_BYTES: "".

Model Context Protocol TypeScript SDK 1.29.0 StreamableHTTPServerTransport session activity request handling long-running exchange notifications
💡 Result:
In the Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK version 1.29.0, the StreamableHTTPServerTransport serves as a thin Node.js-compatible wrapper around the WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport [1]. This transport is designed to handle MCP sessions via HTTP (for requests) and Server-Sent Events (SSE) (for notifications) [2][3]. Regarding the specific handling of session activity and notifications: 1. Session Activity Handling: The transport supports stateful and stateless modes, configured via the sessionIdGenerator option [3][4]. In stateful mode, it maintains in-memory state for connections and message history [4][5]. In stateless mode, it does not perform session validation [4]. 2. Long-Running Exchange Notifications: Streamable HTTP enables server-to-client notifications over SSE [2]. To handle long-running operations or polling behavior, the transport provides methods to close SSE streams, which forces clients to reconnect [5]. Specifically, closeSSEStream(requestId) can be used for request-scoped streams, while closeStandaloneSSEStream manages the standalone GET SSE stream for unsolicited notifications [5]. These methods trigger client reconnections, allowing for efficient polling and resource management during long-running exchanges [6][5]. 3. Known Issues in 1.29.0: Version 1.29.0 (along with the 1.25.x–1.28.x series) contains a known regression affecting stateless transport reuse [7]. When using a stateless configuration (sessionIdGenerator: undefined), subsequent requests after the initial initialize call may return an HTTP 500 error with an empty body because the transport's internal error handling is bypassed by the underlying Hono bridge [7]. For further implementation details, developers should refer to the Streamable HTTP documentation and examples provided in the SDK [2][8]. Note that version 1.29.0 is part of the v1 release line; the SDK has since moved to v2 [9][10].

Track activity during open MCP exchanges.
McpSessionRegistry.get() refreshes activity only when a /mcp request starts. It does not refresh activity while transport.handleRequest() is pending or while the standalone SSE stream is open. The maintenance pass can therefore close an active exchange or notification stream after 30 minutes. Track in-flight requests and SSE streams, and add regression tests.

In `@src/server.ts` at line 69, Update McpSessionRegistry activity tracking so
in-flight transport.handleRequest() operations and standalone SSE streams
refresh or preserve session activity until they complete or close, preventing
the maintenance pass from expiring active exchanges. Integrate this behavior
into the /mcp request and SSE lifecycle paths, and add regression tests covering
both pending requests and open notification streams.
