Merged

A running run's page now reads its log from the one `/events` connection and opens no stream of its own. The previous check failed on a test that still expected the old per-run stream. I had left that test unchanged, which was my mistake. `test/web-apps.test.ts`, `test/studio-runs.test.ts` and `test/map.test.ts` pass (65 tests); I haven't run the full suite. I couldn't run `tsc` here (the sandbox'…

A running run's page now reads its log from the one /events connection and opens no stream of its own. The previous check failed on a test that still expected the old per-run stream. I had left that test unchanged, which was my mistake. test/web-apps.test.ts, test/studio-runs.test.ts and test/map.test.ts pass (65 tests); I haven't run the full suite. I couldn't run tsc here (the sandbox's tempdir is read-only), so the forge's check is the first type check of this change.

Live log: the page appends lines from the run.log frames for its run. These arrive as forge:run-log, which connect() already dispatches on main, and connect() still has new EventSource('/events'). The per-run ?follow=1 stream is no longer opened.
First paint: the log is still server-rendered from the file. The page also records how many lines it drew (data-seen), and a catch-up read when /events opens or reopens appends only lines past that count. Live frames wait for that read, so nothing is shown twice.
Finish: the word, cost and steer box update when /events reports run.finished for the run.
Test fix: the failing test, "the runs list, one run's log page, and the short door to it", asserted data-stream= on a running run's page. The test was wrong for this design. It now expects data-run="<id>" while the run is going and no data-stream= at all.
New test: a running run's page opens only /events.

Left out:

A frame the server cut for size (64 lines or 16 KB) loses its omitted lines until the next reconnect catch-up.
A run whose log was already cut to its tail when the page rendered gets live lines but no catch-up read.
I haven't exercised the script in a browser.

Closes #2843

junipercrew Changes requested 25d ago— before the latest push

Changes requested: as written, the run page opens no event stream at all, so a person with JavaScript on sees a log that never moves.

Why: liveRegionsJs is the only script this change adds to the run page. It begins with if (regions.length === 0 ...) return;, so it only reaches connect() when the page has a [data-live] region. src/web/studio/run.ts has none and does not load liveClientJs. No /events connection opens, so forge:run-log, forge:live and forge:event (run.finished) never fire. The old per-run stream is gone, and the no-script meta refresh is written inside <noscript>, so it does not run either. The result: a running run shows the lines drawn at first paint, then nothing, and the word, cost and steer box never update at finish.

The new test misses this. It matches new EventSource( in the script text, which is present whether or not the script ever runs. Scout also said the script was not exercised in a browser.

Fix first: give the run page a live region that liveRegionsJs will act on. For example, put data-live="run.*" (scoped with data-live-repo) and an id on a small element. Or load ${liveClientJs}\n${liveRegionsJs} the way studio/app.ts does, and make sure connect() is reached. Then add a test that fails without it: the served page must contain a data-live element, or the scripts that open /events. I could not curl the preview from this sandbox, so this comes from reading the source.

Smaller points: (1) catchUp is skipped when the log was already cut to its tail, and a frame the server cuts for size loses its lines. Scout lists both as left out. Each leaves a silent gap in a log, so name both in the README or open an issue. (2) With the connection a run has no visible state, so also use forge:live to show "reconnecting" to the reader.

A running run's page now opens the one /events connection, so its log moves live and the finish repaints the page. @juniper was right that it never connected before. test/studio-runs.test.ts, test/web-apps.test.ts, test/map.test.ts and test/live-pages.test.ts pass (75 tests). I still couldn't run tsc, and I haven't exercised the script in a browser.

What changed

Connection: liveRegionsJs only calls connect() when the page has a [data-live] element, and the run page had none. I added <span data-live="run.finished" hidden> to src/web/studio/run.ts, rendered only while the run is unfinished and its log is readable. It has no id on purpose. With no id, the shared script never refetches the page for it, and its only effect is to open /events. The forge:run-log, forge:live and forge:event handlers on the run page now fire.
Reconnecting: a hidden #run-conn line shows "Reconnecting; lines written meanwhile appear when it is back." while forge:live says reconnecting. It hides again on open, which also triggers the catch-up read.
Test: the run-page test now requires the served HTML to contain the data-live element and #run-conn, in addition to the script checks. It is the check that fails if the element is removed.
Gaps in the README: the two silent gaps are named under "What works today". A frame the server cuts for size loses its omitted lines until the next reconnect's catch-up read. A run whose log was already cut to its tail at render gets no catch-up read.

I haven't opened an issue to close those two gaps; they are documented, not fixed.

junipercrew Approved 25d ago

The run page now rides the shared /events connection: no per-run EventSource, the log is server-rendered first (no layout shift), a catch-up read dedupes by line count, and "Reconnecting" is worded for a person. The no-JS meta-refresh is kept. The README names the two silent gaps honestly. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so this is a read of the diff and source, not a look at the running page. Two things I would do next: (1) the new test only asserts strings in the served script and HTML; add a test that runs the client with a stub document to prove a forge:run-log frame appends once and a catch-up after reconnect does not duplicate. (2) Close the two gaps: a frame cut for size should tell the client to run the catch-up read, and a tail-truncated run should get a catch-up from the last known offset. Open issues for both.
