Item 46 Bucket B: non-pausing :die sibling for PyInstaller-build-failure sites - #438
Conversation
…die sites Adds :warn_build_incomplete, a sibling of :die used at the 3 PyInstaller- build-failure call sites (reason=test_forced_fail/build_error/missing_output). By the time any of these is reached, both PyInstaller and the Nuitka fallback have already failed, but the environment is still valid and the interpreter- fallback verification a few hundred lines below still genuinely determines success/failure -- pausing here misleadingly looks like the terminal state when real work is still ahead. The new subroutine still sets HP_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=error (final reporting stays honest) but skips :die's pause, premature lock release, and premature status write; the vestigial redundant HP_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=error lines after each old call :die are removed since the subroutine sets it internally. selfapps_pyinstaller_fail.ps1's own assertions are unchanged (state=error, message substrings, and reason= tokens are all preserved) -- only its header comment was updated to describe the new mechanism.

subsequent briefing path.

- Around line 15-23: Update the test contract comment around the PyInstaller
failure assertion to describe it as a failure message rather than an [ERROR]
message, unless the prefix is intentionally contractual; if it is, strengthen
the assertion to require the emitted [WARN] prefix. Keep the existing

run_setup.bat
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (AGENTS.md)
run_setup.bat:run_setup.batmust function as a single bootstrapper when dropped beside the application, without requiring committed helper files.
Every branch added torun_setup.bator its related helpers must have a CI test, including feature flags, fallbacks, recovery paths, and fast/full paths.
Keep bootstrapper log messages synchronized with CI parsers; update workflow checks whenever messages or status summaries change.
All embedded helpers must remain base64-encoded under:define_helper_payloads; changing one requires synchronizing the matchingHP_*line and rerunning delimiter checks.
Do not remove tilde prefixes from runtime artifact paths such as~bootstrap.status.json,~setup.log,~environment.lock.txt, and~env.state.json.
run_setup.bat: 1. Self-contained: no committed helper files; all helpers are base64-encoded inside
the batch file under:define_helper_payloads.
2. Delimiter-check after every edit:

Avoid unscopedEnableDelayedExpansion, preserve correct escaping of special characters, and use ASCII plain text.

Usetools/sync_payload.pyas the only sanctioned method for re-encoding embeddedHP_*payloads inrun_setup.bat; never hand-roll the splice process.

Common Pitfalls
- Batch special characters:
&,%,^,!,~in variable values require quoting
or escaping.%in particular must be doubled (%%) insideforloops.- PowerShell
-or/-and: outside a conditional, these are parsed as parameter names
and produce cryptic "parameter name 'or'" errors.check_delimiters.pyflags these.
Bootstrap reliability > API correctness. A feature depending on "maybe PATH is set" or
"activation might work" is invalid for bootstrap paths -- determinism is non-negotiable.
Never depend on console scripts during bootstrap (pipreqs,pytest, etc. all require
Scripts/on PATH and activation state neither is guaranteed) -- use explicit interpreter
paths or direct Python APIs instead.
All execution must be interpreter-anchored: every tool invocation roots in an explicit
Python executable path (%HP_PY%or%CONDA_PREFIX%\python.exe), never PATH/activation.
Bootstrap must fail fast and explicitly -- no silent fallbacks unless explicitly logge...

Learning: In `run_setup.bat`, genuine PyInstaller and Nuitka compiler nonzero-exit branches can be documented as extrapolated branches when no deterministic, non-fragile CI trigger exists. `tests/selfapps_pyinstaller_fail.ps1` deterministically covers `reason=test_forced_fail` and `reason=missing_output`; `reason=build_error` requires a real PyInstaller invocation that returns nonzero and is explicitly not CI-tested, consistent with the existing real Nuitka compiler-failure precedent.

Learning: For PowerShell scenario tests in tests/, use tests/selfapps_<scenario>.ps1 with tests/harness.ps1 and CI registration for standalone full-bootstrap scenarios. Keep closely related extensions of flows already covered by tests/selftest.ps1—including empty-folder and shared stub-flow scenarios—in tests/selftest.ps1, reusing its Invoke-Setup helper and scratch-directory infrastructure instead of adding separate harness or CI wiring.

Learning: PowerShell scripts named selfapps_*.ps1 that must remain compatible with Windows PowerShell 5.1 should not rely on the automatic $IsWindows variable, which is unavailable there. Use a compatible operating-system check such as [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Platform instead. CI invokes these scripts with pwsh, where $IsWindows is available, so ensure the chosen check works across both environments.

Learning: In `docs/demo-bootstrapper-output.md`, retain CI run IDs, job IDs, lanes, test-file provenance, and explicit source-versus-extrapolation labels alongside quoted console output. The document's sourcing convention requires this evidence so captures are not presented as real when they are reconstructed from `run_setup.bat`; this provenance is appropriate user-facing context, not internal scratch-log material.

Learning: In the documentation files describing the removed UNC warning check in `run_setup.bat`, state only verified behavior: the check emitted `[WARN] UNC paths not supported` for an ordinary local path and was removed because the separate UNC-prefix guard already handles UNC detection. Do not assert the exact `findstr` or cmd.exe backslash-parsing mechanism, since it was not independently verified.

- docs/agent-lessons-learned.md: correct which subroutine actually writes the final status. :after_cascade_decision calls :write_status (with whatever HP_BOOTSTRAP_STATE holds by then) before goto :success dispatches to :print_no_exe_briefing -- the briefing itself only prints, it writes nothing. - tests/selfapps_pyinstaller_fail.ps1: the header comment still called the expected log line "the correct [ERROR] message", stale since the message is now [WARN]-prefixed. The assertion itself only matches the substring/reason= token, not the prefix, so nothing broke -- just clarified the comment to match.

Summary
Implements Bucket B of CLAUDE.md Active Backlog Item 46:
:dieusesexit /b(a subroutine return, not a process halt), so callers with no halt/goto aftercall :diesimply continue — a design that's correct for genuinely doomed states but produces a misleading mid-run pause for a state that isn't actually doomed.The 3 PyInstaller-build-failure
:diesites (reason=test_forced_fail/build_error/missing_output) are exactly that non-doomed case. By the time any of them is reached, both PyInstaller and the Nuitka fallback have already failed — but the environment/dependencies are still valid, and the interpreter-fallback verification a few hundred lines below still genuinely runs and still genuinely determines success/failure. Pausing here (before that verification even happens) misleadingly looks like the terminal state to a real double-click user, when real, outcome-determining work is still ahead.Fix: a new sibling subroutine,
:warn_build_incomplete, defined right after:die. Same shape (set "MSG=%~1", setsHP_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=errorso the eventual final report stays honest) but deliberately skips:die's three doomed-run-only actions:pause— the run isn't over yet.:release_lock— a concurrent second instance must not be able to start while real verification work is still ahead.:write_status— the eventual:success/:print_no_exe_briefingdispatch writes the real final status onceHP_BOOTSTRAP_STATEis settled.The vestigial, now-doubly-redundant
set "HP_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=error"lines that used to follow eachcall :dieat these 3 sites are removed in the same change (the subroutine itself sets it internally, mirroring:die's own existing centralization).selfapps_pyinstaller_fail.ps1's own pass/fail assertions are unchanged —state=='error', the message substrings (PyInstaller execution failed/PyInstaller did not produce dist), and thereason=tokens are all preserved verbatim on the same log line, so the existing gating test continues to validate the same outcomes. Only its header comment was updated to describe the new mechanism, anddocs/demo-bootstrapper-output.md's two captured-output transcripts were updated to match the new[WARN]-prefixed message text.Scope note: this is one deliberately narrow slice of the broader Item 46 problem (~31 total
:diecall sites), matching this repo's own "one incremental slice at a time" discipline for high-risk changes. The remaining, genuinely-doomed:diesites (e.g. the conda-create-failure chain CLAUDE.md's Item 46 entry already documents) are still open scope for a future Bucket A slice (a globalHP_FATALmechanism), not addressed here.Test plan
