…lence The client half of the registry proxy inferred the end of docker's request from its socket going quiet for 50ms, then closed its send direction. Both halves of that were wrong: a request split across packets with a gap in it was cut short, and because the same 50ms ended the whole connection, a kept-alive connection carrying the manifest and blob requests of one pull was torn down after the first of them. registry.Copy, which replaces CopyWithDeadline and StreamRW on both sides of the stream, ends each direction when its source ends it and passes that end on as a half-close, so nothing is inferred from silence. See the fork commit for the full account. This does not compile until the buildkit pin moves to a commit containing registry.Copy; the pin bump comes with it.

regproxy needs registry.Copy, which lives on EarthBuild/buildkit's giles-registry-proxy-framing branch (PR #24) and nowhere else yet, so this pin points at that branch's head rather than a merged commit. The replace directive carries a comment saying so. It must be advanced to a commit on the fork's main before this merges: earthbuild's main pinning an unmerged branch would break every build the moment that branch is rebased or deleted.

`go mod tidy` drops 26 lines that nothing in the module graph reaches: 24 belong to aws-sdk-go-v2 modules left behind by the recent renovate bumps (#873, #877), and 2 are an older earthbuild/buildkit pin. This is unrelated to the regproxy change and is split out so the pin bump above stays a one-line diff. main's go.sum is untidy without it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Cancel the proxy stream when the local connection fails. registry.Copy waits for both copy goroutines. If conn.Read returns a non-EOF error, the connection-to-stream goroutine returns without closing or canceling the Registry_ProxyClient, while the other goroutine can remain blocked in stream.RecvMsg. errgroup.Wait then cannot return, so the accepted connection and gRPC stream remain alive until the parent context is canceled. Abort the stream on this error path, while retaining stream.CloseSend for EOF half-close handling.

Draft, and stacked. Base is #884, and the buildkit pin points at an unmerged branch — see "Before this can merge" below.
The client half of the fix for #912. EarthBuild/buildkit#24 fixes the daemon side; this moves
regproxyonto the shared copy that comes with it, and deletes the client's own copy of the same 50ms heuristic.What was wrong here
regproxy.handledecided docker had finished sending its request when docker's socket went quiet for 50ms, then closed its send direction on the stream:Two things follow from that. A request split across packets with a gap in it was cut short. And because the same timer ended the whole connection, a kept-alive connection — docker uses one across the manifest and blob requests of a single pull — was finished after its first request, so nothing forwarded the requests that came after it.
registry.CopyreplacesCopyWithDeadlineandStreamRWon both sides of the stream. Each direction now ends when its source ends it, and that end is passed on as a half-close, so a request whose response is still arriving is never truncated. The full account, the prior art it follows, and the tests are in #24.Why this is a lockstep change
CopyWithDeadlineandStreamRWare gone from the fork, so this repo cannot compile against the new pin without this change, and cannot compile this change without the new pin. Both halves have to land together.Before this can merge
replaceingo.modadvances from the branch head to a commit on the fork'smain— the directive carries a comment saying so, and the commit message says why leaving it would be a live hazardgiles-pullping-retrytomainonce fix(dockerutil): retry a pull from the local registry #884 lands, or this rebases onto whatever fix(dockerutil): retry a pull from the local registry #884 becomesRelationship to #884
Complementary, not redundant. #884 retries a failed pull; this stops one class of failure from happening. #884 still earns its place for daemons that predate this fix — image pins mean that is indefinitely — and for transport failures this does not address, such as a buildkitd restart mid-pull.
Verification
go build ./...clean, and./regproxy/...and./util/dockerutil/...tests pass against the pinned fork branch, #884'spullretry_test.goincluded. The behavioural evidence lives in #24, whose tests drive the production daemon-side proxy through a realnet/httpclient and server: a response the registry pauses 300ms mid-body went from truncated at 65536 of 131072 bytes to intact, and a second request on a kept-alive connection from never answered to answered.Not yet done, and worth doing before this leaves draft: an end-to-end test on this side that runs the real
handleagainst the realServer.Proxy, and a look at what the retry path logs, so a rising retry rate stays visible in error tracking once #884 stops turning these into job failures.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
