Summary

  • Close an unfinished picker upload only after 60 seconds without body progress before the first upstream response. Nonempty body chunks reset the idle timer. Upstream backpressure pauses it, and body completion, the first upstream response, cancellation or shutdown removes it.
  • Keep the existing aggregate admission limit. Do not introduce an absolute upload-duration deadline or an additional unfinished-upload concurrency cap. Progressing large attachments remain eligible, and completed uploads or early upstream responses do not put long-lived SSE responses under an upload timer.
  • Reuse the current relay cleanup paths, including the landed error-response flushing and abandoned-input linger corrections. HTTP/2 expiry closes only the affected stream; ordinary sibling requests can regain released capacity.
  • Add eight real-listener regressions to the existing upload suite, update the owning Desktop contract, and add one idle-limit paragraph to each of the eight existing localized Picker guides.

This follows the idle-only alternative suggested when upstream PR lidge-jun#7015 was closed. It is a new fork-only draft, not a reopening of the rejected absolute-timeout proposal. The controlled reproduction uses an upstream that deliberately never times out; it does not establish that the live claude.ai edge fails to time out. This limits silent upload occupancy, not sustained byte-trickle traffic or every form of denial of service. The default 60-second no-progress policy still requires maintainer acceptance.

Revision

Base: f5f73ff3970b3b238c4e2fade29ba3f64914f637.
Published head: 3d9a7274da1405431ba81b0315504064edd78447.
Exact tested/published tree: 49809e3c15c7a76d44934f7df24012cf74c68aa1.

Eleven files change: the listener, existing upload test file, owning contract, and eight English/Korean/Japanese/French/Russian/Turkish/Simplified-Chinese/Traditional-Chinese guides. No test-layout registration, file-size cap, dependency, certificate or trust-store change is introduced. Auxiliary source-transfer and publication files are absent from this tree.

Verification — actual Linux / repository-selected Bun 1.4.3

Focused aggregate: 123 passed, 0 failed, 1,177 assertions across seven files. The upload file includes eight new cases and passes 30 cases in total; those are included in the aggregate, not additional tests to sum.

bun test --isolate --timeout 30000 tests/claude-integration/claude-picker-upload.test.ts tests/claude-integration/claude-picker-linger.test.ts tests/claude-integration/claude-picker-listener.test.ts tests/claude-integration/claude-picker-bootstrap.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts
bun node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc --noEmit
bun scripts/privacy-scan.ts
bun scripts/structure-ssot.ts
git diff --check

For HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 independently, the new tests show a silent upload occupies the reduced single-slot fixture until the relay expires it; an independent request first receives 503, then receives 200 after the upload and upstream close. The upstream installs no body timeout and sends no response. The progressing-upload controls run longer than their shortened idle interval while preserving all bytes. Completed-upload and early-response controls preserve response streams beyond the idle interval.

Red control: restoring the original listener while retaining the two silent-upload regression cases gives 0 pass and 2 failures at the bounded test deadline. Restoring the correction makes them pass. Existing upstream-502, large early-response, linger, cancellation and shutdown regressions remain in the green aggregate.

Root typecheck, privacy, structure and whitespace checks passed. Public-guide paragraphs were added after the application test run without changing runtime/test bytes; final privacy, structure and whitespace checks passed again. The guides were not built locally. Input-side backpressure pause handling was source-reviewed but not separately fault-injected; existing response-side backpressure tests do not establish that additional coverage.

Publication run 38492130949 checked patch SHA-256, original preimages, the exact changed-file set and complete candidate trees before atomically publishing two new fork refs. It executed no patched application code or dependency installation with its write token. Superseded malformed compressed Picker transfer data was removed before publication; the readable patch and localized paragraphs produced the exact checked tree above. This is transport verification, not another application test run.

Remaining gates

No actual Claude Desktop/macOS run, Windows native run, live claude.ai edge test, production-default 60-second timing run, sustained client churn/byte-trickle stress, certificate/keychain operation, docs-site build or full repository/import-connected suite was executed. Tests use local TLS fixtures and shortened deadlines, and do not establish native Desktop acceptance. Focused coverage is the repository resource exception.

Keep Draft pending independent security/compatibility review, current-dev reconciliation and exact-head required hosted CI. Pending, skipped and older-head results are not passes. No upstream PR, merge, installation, deployment or Security Cloud finding closure is performed.

Checklist

  • Scope preserves progressing uploads and existing response cleanup.
  • Owning documentation and all existing localized Picker sections describe idle-only behavior.
  • Focused repository regressions and root static checks passed.
  • Independent review and the default idle-timeout policy are accepted.
  • Required current-head CI and remaining native/operational coverage are accepted.

Review readiness checklist

  • Required final validation and its scope are accepted.
  • Current dev ancestry is rechecked before readiness.
  • All correct review findings are resolved.
  • Ready for review. Retain draft pending the outstanding gates.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

📝 Walkthrough

The picker relay now closes uploads that make no progress for 60 seconds before the first upstream response. The timer pauses during upstream backpressure and clears when the upload completes or the upstream responds. Integration tests and documentation cover this behavior.

Changes: Picker upload idle timeout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and enforce the upload idle timer
src/claude/intercept/picker-listener.ts
The listener adds an optional uploadIdleMs setting and a 60-second default. It arms and rearms the timer on upload progress, pauses it during backpressure, and clears it on completion or the first upstream response. On expiry, it marks the client gone, logs the timeout, and stops the unfinished upload.
Verify and document timeout behavior
tests/claude-integration/claude-picker-upload.test.ts, structure/clients/claude-desktop.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/claude-code.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/{fr,ja,ko,ru,tr,zh-cn,zh-tw}/guides/claude-code.md
Integration tests cover stalled and progressing uploads over HTTP/1 and HTTP/2, plus event streams after completed uploads or early responses. The Desktop and Claude Code guides document the idle timeout, backpressure behavior, and the absence of an absolute upload-duration limit.

The timeout implementation appears sound, but four guides could mislead readers about which mode it applies to, and the backpressure rule lacks regression coverage. These are bounded issues to address or accept before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Move the Picker timeout rule into each locale’s Picker section.

The new paragraphs describe the local Picker relay, but their headings place them in gateway-profile or remote-hub guidance. That placement can misstate which mode uses the timeout.

  • docs-site/src/content/docs/tr/guides/claude-code.md#L282-L282: move the paragraph out of the gateway-only profile section and into Picker mode.
  • docs-site/src/content/docs/ru/guides/claude-code.md#L208-L208: move the paragraph out of the remote-hub section and into Picker mode.
  • docs-site/src/content/docs/zh-cn/guides/claude-code.md#L182-L182: move the paragraph out of the remote-hub section and into Picker mode.
  • docs-site/src/content/docs/zh-tw/guides/claude-code.md#L267-L267: move the paragraph out of the remote-hub section and into Picker mode.

As per path instructions, “Check that user-facing docs stay in sync with actual CLI/API behavior and that translated locale pages (ja, ko, ru, zh-cn) are not left contradicting the English source.”

Add an upstream-backpressure pause-and-resume regression case.

The current upload tests do not create upstream-induced request backpressure. The progressing case consumes req immediately, and the existing backpressure case pauses the downstream response, not the uploaded request. Therefore, the new pause and resume timer rules are not protected.

Add HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 coverage that stops the upstream from reading, sends enough data to pause the relay request, waits beyond uploadIdleMs, and asserts that no idle timeout occurs. Resume upstream reading, stop sending client data, and assert that idle enforcement is active again.
