feat: Major directory reorganization and cleanup
Reorganized project structure for better maintainability and reduced disk usage by 95.9% (11 GB -> 451 MB). Directory Reorganization (85% reduction in root files): - Created docs/ with subdirectories (deployment, testing, database, etc.) - Created infrastructure/vpn-configs/ for VPN scripts - Moved 90+ files from root to organized locations - Archived obsolete documentation (context system, offline mode, zombie debugging) - Moved all test files to tests/ directory - Root directory: 119 files -> 18 files Disk Cleanup (10.55 GB recovered): - Deleted Rust build artifacts: 9.6 GB (target/ directories) - Deleted Python virtual environments: 161 MB (venv/ directories) - Deleted Python cache: 50 KB (__pycache__/) New Structure: - docs/ - All documentation organized by category - docs/archives/ - Obsolete but preserved documentation - infrastructure/ - VPN configs and SSH setup - tests/ - All test files consolidated - logs/ - Ready for future logs Benefits: - Cleaner root directory (18 vs 119 files) - Logical organization of documentation - 95.9% disk space reduction - Faster navigation and discovery - Better portability (build artifacts excluded) Build artifacts can be regenerated: - Rust: cargo build --release (5-15 min per project) - Python: pip install -r requirements.txt (2-3 min) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Zombie Process Investigation - Coordinated Findings
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-01-17
|
||||
**Status:** 3 of 5 agent reports complete
|
||||
**Coordination:** Multi-agent analysis synthesis
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Reports Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ Completed Reports
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Code Pattern Review Agent** - Found critical Popen() leak
|
||||
2. **Solution Design Agent** - Proposed layered defense strategy
|
||||
3. **Process Investigation Agent** - Identified 5 zombie categories
|
||||
|
||||
### ⏳ In Progress
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Bash Process Lifecycle Agent** - Analyzing bash/git/conhost chains
|
||||
5. **SSH Connection Agent** - Investigating SSH process accumulation
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## CRITICAL CONSENSUS FINDINGS
|
||||
|
||||
All 3 agents independently identified the same PRIMARY culprit:
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔴 SMOKING GUN: `periodic_context_save.py` Daemon Spawning
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** Lines 265-286
|
||||
**Pattern:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
process = subprocess.Popen(
|
||||
[sys.executable, __file__, "_monitor"],
|
||||
creationflags=subprocess.DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW,
|
||||
stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,
|
||||
stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL,
|
||||
)
|
||||
# NO wait(), NO cleanup, NO tracking!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Consensus:**
|
||||
- **Code Pattern Agent:** "CRITICAL - PRIMARY ZOMBIE LEAK"
|
||||
- **Investigation Agent:** "MEDIUM severity, creates orphaned processes"
|
||||
- **Solution Agent:** "Requires Windows Job Objects or double-fork pattern"
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:**
|
||||
- Creates 1 orphaned daemon per start/stop cycle
|
||||
- Accumulates over restarts
|
||||
- Memory: 20-30 MB per zombie
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 🟠 SECONDARY CULPRIT: Background Bash Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:**
|
||||
- `user-prompt-submit` line 68
|
||||
- `task-complete` lines 171, 178
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/sync-contexts" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Consensus:**
|
||||
- **Investigation Agent:** "CRITICAL - 50-100 zombies per 4-hour session"
|
||||
- **Code Pattern Agent:** "Not reviewed (bash scripts)"
|
||||
- **Solution Agent:** "Layer 1 fix: track PIDs, add cleanup handlers"
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:**
|
||||
- 1-2 bash processes per user interaction
|
||||
- Each bash spawns git → conhost tree
|
||||
- 50 prompts = 50-100 zombie processes
|
||||
- Memory: 5-10 MB each = 500 MB - 1 GB total
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 🟡 TERTIARY ISSUE: Task Scheduler Overlaps
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `periodic_save_check.py`
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern:**
|
||||
- Runs every 1 minute
|
||||
- No mutex/lock protection
|
||||
- 3 subprocess.run() calls per execution
|
||||
- Recursive filesystem scan (can take 10+ seconds on large repos)
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Consensus:**
|
||||
- **Investigation Agent:** "HIGH severity - can create 240 pythonw.exe if hangs"
|
||||
- **Code Pattern Agent:** "SAFE pattern (subprocess.run auto-cleans) but missing timeouts"
|
||||
- **Solution Agent:** "Add mutex lock + timeouts"
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:**
|
||||
- Normally: minimal (subprocess.run cleans up)
|
||||
- If hangs: 10-240 accumulating pythonw.exe instances
|
||||
- Memory: 15-25 MB each = 150 MB - 6 GB
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## RECOMMENDED SOLUTION SYNTHESIS
|
||||
|
||||
Combining all agent recommendations:
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate Fixes (Priority 1)
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix 1: Add Timeouts to ALL subprocess calls**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Every subprocess.run() needs timeout
|
||||
result = subprocess.run(
|
||||
["git", "config", ...],
|
||||
capture_output=True,
|
||||
text=True,
|
||||
check=False,
|
||||
timeout=5 # ADD THIS
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- `periodic_save_check.py` (3 calls)
|
||||
- `periodic_context_save.py` (6 calls)
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated effort:** 30 minutes
|
||||
**Impact:** Prevents hung processes from accumulating
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix 2: Remove Background Bash Spawning**
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A (Recommended):** Make sync-contexts synchronous
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# BEFORE (spawns orphans):
|
||||
bash "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/sync-contexts" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
|
||||
|
||||
# AFTER (blocks until complete):
|
||||
bash "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/sync-contexts" >/dev/null 2>&1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B (Advanced):** Track PIDs and cleanup
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/sync-contexts" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
|
||||
BG_PID=$!
|
||||
echo "$BG_PID" >> "$CLAUDE_DIR/.background-pids"
|
||||
# Add cleanup handler...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- `user-prompt-submit` (line 68)
|
||||
- `task-complete` (lines 171, 178)
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated effort:** 1 hour
|
||||
**Impact:** Eliminates 50-100 zombies per session
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix 3: Fix Daemon Process Lifecycle**
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Use Windows Job Objects (Windows) or double-fork (Unix)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Windows Job Object pattern
|
||||
import win32job
|
||||
import win32api
|
||||
|
||||
def start_daemon_safe():
|
||||
# Create job that kills children when parent dies
|
||||
job = win32job.CreateJobObject(None, "")
|
||||
info = win32job.QueryInformationJobObject(
|
||||
job, win32job.JobObjectExtendedLimitInformation
|
||||
)
|
||||
info["BasicLimitInformation"]["LimitFlags"] = (
|
||||
win32job.JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE
|
||||
)
|
||||
win32job.SetInformationJobObject(
|
||||
job, win32job.JobObjectExtendedLimitInformation, info
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Spawn process
|
||||
process = subprocess.Popen(...)
|
||||
|
||||
# Assign to job
|
||||
handle = win32api.OpenProcess(
|
||||
win32con.PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, process.pid
|
||||
)
|
||||
win32job.AssignProcessToJobObject(job, handle)
|
||||
|
||||
return process, job
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `periodic_context_save.py` (lines 244-286)
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated effort:** 2-3 hours
|
||||
**Impact:** Eliminates daemon zombies
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Secondary Fixes (Priority 2)
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix 4: Add Mutex Lock to Task Scheduler**
|
||||
|
||||
Prevent overlapping executions:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import filelock
|
||||
|
||||
LOCK_FILE = CLAUDE_DIR / ".periodic-save.lock"
|
||||
lock = filelock.FileLock(LOCK_FILE, timeout=1)
|
||||
|
||||
try:
|
||||
with lock.acquire(timeout=1):
|
||||
# Do work
|
||||
pass
|
||||
except filelock.Timeout:
|
||||
log("[WARNING] Previous execution still running, skipping")
|
||||
sys.exit(0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `periodic_save_check.py`
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated effort:** 30 minutes
|
||||
**Impact:** Prevents Task Scheduler overlaps
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix 5: Replace Recursive Filesystem Scan**
|
||||
|
||||
Current (SLOW):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
for file in check_dir.rglob("*"): # Scans entire tree!
|
||||
if file.is_file():
|
||||
if file.stat().st_mtime > two_minutes_ago:
|
||||
return True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Optimized (FAST):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Only check known active directories
|
||||
active_paths = [
|
||||
PROJECT_ROOT / ".claude" / ".periodic-save-state.json",
|
||||
PROJECT_ROOT / "api" / "__pycache__", # Any .pyc changes
|
||||
# ... specific files
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
for path in active_paths:
|
||||
if path.exists() and path.stat().st_mtime > two_minutes_ago:
|
||||
return True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `periodic_save_check.py` (lines 117-130)
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated effort:** 1 hour
|
||||
**Impact:** 90% faster execution, prevents hangs
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Tertiary Fixes (Priority 3)
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix 6: Add Process Health Monitoring**
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `periodic_save_check.py`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def monitor_process_health():
|
||||
"""Alert if too many processes"""
|
||||
result = subprocess.run(
|
||||
["tasklist", "/FI", "IMAGENAME eq python.exe"],
|
||||
capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
count = result.stdout.count("python.exe")
|
||||
|
||||
if count > 10:
|
||||
log(f"[WARNING] High process count: {count}")
|
||||
if count > 20:
|
||||
log(f"[CRITICAL] Excessive processes: {count} - triggering cleanup")
|
||||
cleanup_zombies()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated effort:** 1 hour
|
||||
**Impact:** Early detection and auto-cleanup
|
||||
