Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes

  • Download size monitoring now starts sooner, helping detect stalled or oversized downloads more quickly.
  • Git downloads that exceed timeout limits now consistently report the timeout after cleanup.
  • Timed-out Git operations no longer retry through alternate branches or tags.
  • Partial or incomplete download data is cleaned up after timeout conditions.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The download watchdog now checks Git clone size after 60 seconds, tracks child processes, and preserves timeout state. Git and HTTP/wget paths clean partial downloads and raise TimeOutException after watchdog termination.

Changes

Download timeout handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Watchdog process control
src/fosslight_util/download.py
Adds child-process registration, timeout-state tracking, process termination, and timeout cleanup handling.
Git and HTTP/wget integration
src/fosslight_util/download.py
Uses a 60-second Git size-check default. Git and wget subprocesses are registered with the watchdog. Timeout handling cleans partial output and raises TimeOutException; Git branch fallback is skipped after timeout.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 851e5

The change is intended to avoid abruptly killing downloads, but timed-out downloads can still leave child processes running, continue in-process transfers, or exceed the intended timeout through fallback behavior. This can cause hangs and prolonged downloads, so the PR is not merge-ready until these timeout paths are addressed.

Reject out-of-range download watchdog timeout values.

FOSSLIGHT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT currently accepts values that can make the watchdog unusable. On Python, signal.alarm() rejects values too large to fit in a C int, while threading.Event.wait() still accepts values above threading.TIMEOUT_MAX. If timeout is non-zero but exceeds the supported platform limit, clamp it to SIGNAL_TIMEOUT instead of starting with an invalid value.

Log the swallowed exception during process cleanup.

_kill_download_processes() catches Exception and discards it silently when proc.poll()/proc.kill() fails. Log the exception at debug level so a failed cleanup attempt is visible during troubleshooting.

Comment thread src/fosslight_util/download.py
download_git_repository cancelled the watchdog that download_git_clone had
just started, so raise_if_timed_out() was unreachable for git downloads: on
Windows the Alarm was cancelled before it could fire, on POSIX SIGALRM was
disarmed before the clone began. run_git_clone_with_size_guard was left with
no wall-clock bound at all - a stalled clone (network hang, credential wait)
looped in proc.communicate() forever, and a partially cloned target dir was
reported as a successful download.

The early cancellation was there to avoid the watchdog's os._exit(1), which
no longer happens: the watchdog now only kills the tracked child and lets the
caller raise TimeOutException.

- remove the early _cancel_download_watchdog() call
- re-raise TimeOutException from run_git_clone_with_size_guard instead of
  letting the broad except degrade it to a generic git error, and clean the
  partial target dir on the way out
- skip the default-branch fallback clone once the watchdog fired; the budget
  is spent and the watchdog is one-shot, so a retry would run unbounded

A stalled clone now fails at SIGNAL_TIMEOUT with 'Timeout (600 sec)' and a
cleaned target dir on both platforms, instead of hanging indefinitely.
size_check_after_sec defaulted to SIGNAL_TIMEOUT, so the first mid-clone size
check was scheduled for the same instant as the watchdog. The watchdog starts
before the clone process, so it always fired first: mid-clone size checks and
the periodic SIZE_CHECK_INTERVAL_SECONDS re-checks never ran, and an oversized
clone was reported as a timeout instead of a size-limit block. That also lost
the caller's size_limit_blocked branch, which then retried the same oversized
package over HTTP/wget for another SIGNAL_TIMEOUT.

Introduce SIZE_CHECK_AFTER_SECONDS (60) so the size guard aborts oversized
clones with its own message well before the wall-clock watchdog fires.

1005-1012: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Close the timeout race around process registration.

Both download paths call subprocess.Popen before register_download_process. If the Windows watchdog fires during this gap, it clears an empty registry and leaves the child running. The Git path can then wait indefinitely in communicate().

Make process creation and registration atomic with the watchdog state. If the watchdog already timed out, terminate and drain the child instead of registering it.

95-178: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make the Windows watchdog interrupt in-process HTTP transfers.

On Windows, Alarm.run only sets timed_out and kills processes in _download_procs. The Requests calls in is_downloadable and _download_file_once run in-process and do not register a child process. Because requests.get(..., timeout=SIGNAL_TIMEOUT) enforces inactivity rather than a wall-clock limit, a server that sends data periodically can keep _download_file_once running after SIGNAL_TIMEOUT. Add cancellation-aware handling for Requests. Check _download_watchdog_timed_out(alarm) before calling _download_with_system_wget, and do not start wget after the watchdog fires.

Preserve timeout status through the public fallback.

download_git_clone converts TimeOutException to success=False with a timeout message. cli_download_and_extract then calls download_wget, which starts a new watchdog. This can extend one download beyond SIGNAL_TIMEOUT. Skip the HTTP/wget fallback when the Git attempt times out.
