From c754984df8b6067f641db339898f44e30d027fd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Blank Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 14:40:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat: high-performance web terminal with asyncio-native I/O Complete rewrite of the terminal pipeline for VS Code Server-level responsiveness. Key improvements: Backend: - Replace blocking select.select(0.1) with asyncio.add_reader() for event-driven PTY reading (eliminates ~110ms polling latency) - Add output batching (2ms window) to reduce WebSocket frame overhead - Add flow control: client acks processed bytes, server pauses PTY reads at 64KB threshold, resumes at 32KB - Add 5s ack timeout fallback to prevent stuck sessions Frontend: - Switch WebSocket to binary mode (binaryType = 'arraybuffer') - Eliminate Blob -> arrayBuffer async conversion overhead - Add flow control ack messages (every 4096 bytes or 100ms) - Add xterm-addon-webgl with graceful DOM fallback - Add performance tuning (scrollback=10000, fastScrollSensitivity) SDD artifacts: - openspec/explorations/terminal-responsiveness.md - openspec/proposals/terminal-responsiveness.md - openspec/specs/terminal-responsiveness.md - openspec/designs/terminal-responsiveness.md - openspec/tasks/terminal-responsiveness.md Quality gates: pytest (19 passed, 1 skipped), tsc --noEmit clean --- apps/api/src/api/terminal.py | 31 +- apps/api/src/services/terminal_session.py | 290 ++++++++++++++---- apps/api/src/services/workspace_manager.py | 4 +- apps/web/package-lock.json | 24 +- apps/web/package.json | 3 +- apps/web/src/components/terminal.tsx | 52 +++- openspec/designs/terminal-responsiveness.md | 227 ++++++++++++++ .../explorations/terminal-responsiveness.md | 160 ++++++++++ openspec/proposals/terminal-responsiveness.md | 71 +++++ openspec/specs/terminal-responsiveness.md | 176 +++++++++++ openspec/tasks/terminal-responsiveness.md | 60 ++++ 11 files changed, 984 insertions(+), 114 deletions(-) create mode 100644 openspec/designs/terminal-responsiveness.md create mode 100644 openspec/explorations/terminal-responsiveness.md create mode 100644 openspec/proposals/terminal-responsiveness.md create mode 100644 openspec/specs/terminal-responsiveness.md create mode 100644 openspec/tasks/terminal-responsiveness.md diff --git a/apps/api/src/api/terminal.py b/apps/api/src/api/terminal.py index a7d4daa..c2f2a8d 100644 --- a/apps/api/src/api/terminal.py +++ b/apps/api/src/api/terminal.py @@ -222,8 +222,7 @@ async def _handle_terminal_websocket( # Use mutable session reference so loops can survive reset session_ref = SessionRef(session, slot_session_id) - # Start I/O loops and heartbeat - read_task = asyncio.create_task(_read_loop(session_ref, websocket)) + # Start write loop and heartbeat (read is now event-driven in TerminalSession) write_task = asyncio.create_task( _write_loop(session_ref, websocket, instance_id) ) @@ -232,7 +231,7 @@ async def _handle_terminal_websocket( # Wait for either task to complete (indicating disconnect or error) done, pending = await asyncio.wait( - [read_task, write_task, heartbeat_task], + [write_task, heartbeat_task], return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED, ) @@ -267,28 +266,6 @@ async def _handle_terminal_websocket( ) -async def _read_loop(session_ref: SessionRef, websocket) -> None: - """Read output from the container and send to WebSocket.""" - try: - while True: - session = session_ref.session - if not session.is_alive() or session._closed: - await asyncio.sleep(0.1) - continue - data = await session.read_output() - if data: - try: - await websocket.send_bytes(data) - except WebSocketDisconnect: - break - except Exception: - break - else: - await asyncio.sleep(0.01) - except Exception: - pass - - async def _write_loop(session_ref: SessionRef, websocket, instance_id: str) -> None: """Read input from WebSocket and send to container.""" try: @@ -319,6 +296,10 @@ async def _write_loop(session_ref: SessionRef, websocket, instance_id: str) -> N rows, ) await session.resize(cols, rows) + elif msg_type == "ack": + char_count = ctrl.get("chars", 0) + if char_count > 0: + session.acknowledge_data(char_count) elif msg_type == "reset": # Reset terminal session (scoped to current slot) logger.debug( diff --git a/apps/api/src/services/terminal_session.py b/apps/api/src/services/terminal_session.py index 1297a4a..01ab59c 100644 --- a/apps/api/src/services/terminal_session.py +++ b/apps/api/src/services/terminal_session.py @@ -1,10 +1,13 @@ -"""Terminal session management for tool instances.""" +"""High-performance terminal session with asyncio-native I/O. + +Replaces blocking select.select() with event-driven asyncio.add_reader() +for sub-frame latency.
