bee_tui/
bee_supervisor.rs

1//! Spawn + manage a child Bee node from inside bee-tui.
2//!
3//! When the operator configures `[bee]` in `config.toml` (or passes
4//! `--bee-bin` + `--bee-config`), bee-tui becomes the supervisor:
5//! launch Bee, redirect its stdout+stderr to a temp file the cockpit
6//! can tail, wait for the API to come up, then open the UI. On quit,
7//! send SIGTERM, wait briefly for a clean exit, escalate to SIGKILL
8//! if needed.
9//!
10//! ## Why this lives in its own module
11//!
12//! The cockpit was designed read-only: every other module assumes a
13//! running Bee on the other end of an HTTP client. Spawning a process
14//! and the lifecycle around it is a different category of concern —
15//! signals, file descriptors, exit codes, OS-specific quirks. Keeping
16//! it isolated lets the rest of `bee-tui` stay observer-shaped.
17//!
18//! ## Lifecycle (chosen behavior on Bee crash: variant B from spec)
19//!
20//! - `spawn` — fork+exec the binary, redirect log streams, set the
21//!   process group id so SIGTERM-pgroup kills the whole tree.
22//! - `wait_for_api` — poll the configured health URL until it returns
23//!   200 or the timeout expires. The timeout is generous (default 30s)
24//!   because Bee's first start can include chain-state catch-up.
25//! - `try_status` — non-blocking peek at whether the child has exited.
26//!   The cockpit calls this each Tick to surface "bee exited (code N)"
27//!   in the top bar without blocking the event loop. No auto-restart.
28//! - `shutdown` — SIGTERM the pgroup, wait up to a grace period, then
29//!   SIGKILL. Called explicitly from the App's quit path so we don't
30//!   rely on `Drop` for the graceful case.
31//! - `Drop` — best-effort SIGKILL fallback for panics. Sync only.
