From d63f300c0959e6894a507015dd5d0f5ce7aa9c05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Test User Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 21:53:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(session): clear exit signals on session reset (issue #91) Root cause: Stale completion indicators in .exit_signals and .response_analysis files persisted across sessions, causing premature exit when combined with normal completion indicator increments. Changes: - Enhanced reset_session() to clear .exit_signals file (resets to empty structure) - Enhanced reset_session() to remove .response_analysis file - Session reset now comprehensively clears all exit-related state Added 2 new tests: - reset_session clears exit_signals file to prevent premature exit - reset_session prevents issue #91 scenario (stale completion indicators) Test count: 321 (up from 319) Fixes #91 --- CLAUDE.md | 14 ++- ralph_loop.sh | 10 ++ tests/unit/test_session_continuity.bats | 129 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 151 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index 5b3dd9c..270a61a 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with co This is the Ralph for Claude Code repository - an autonomous AI development loop system that enables continuous development cycles with intelligent exit detection and rate limiting. -**Version**: v0.10.1 | **Tests**: 319 passing (100% pass rate) | **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions +**Version**: v0.10.1 | **Tests**: 321 passing (100% pass rate) | **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions ## Core Architecture @@ -358,7 +358,7 @@ Ralph uses advanced error detection with two-stage filtering to eliminate false | `test_cli_parsing.bats` | 27 | CLI argument parsing for all 12 flags | | `test_cli_modern.bats` | 29 | Modern CLI commands (Phase 1.1) + build_claude_command fix | | `test_json_parsing.bats` | 45 | JSON output format parsing + Claude CLI format + session management + array format | -| `test_session_continuity.bats` | 26 | Session lifecycle management + circuit breaker integration | +| `test_session_continuity.bats` | 28 | Session lifecycle management + circuit breaker integration + issue #91 fix | | `test_exit_detection.bats` | 20 | Exit signal detection | | `test_rate_limiting.bats` | 15 | Rate limiting behavior | | `test_loop_execution.bats` | 20 | Integration tests | @@ -381,6 +381,16 @@ bats tests/unit/test_cli_parsing.bats ## Recent Improvements +### Stale Completion Indicators Fix (v0.10.1) - Issue #91 +- Fixed premature exit caused by stale completion indicators persisting across sessions +- Root cause: `.exit_signals` and `.response_analysis` files retained old completion counts +- Enhanced `reset_session()` to clear exit-related state files: + - Resets `.exit_signals` to empty structure (no completion indicators) + - Removes `.response_analysis` to prevent stale EXIT_SIGNAL detection +- Session reset now comprehensively clears: session ID, exit signals, and response analysis +- Added 2 new tests validating exit signal clearing behavior +- Test count: 321 (up from 319) + ### JSON Array Format Support (v0.10.1) - Fixed `parse_json_response` to handle Claude CLI JSON array output format (issue #112) - Claude CLI outputs `[{type: "system", ...}, {type: "assistant", ...}, {type: "result", ...}]` diff --git a/ralph_loop.sh b/ralph_loop.sh index bff890f..c25d301 100755 --- a/ralph_loop.sh +++ b/ralph_loop.sh @@ -638,6 +638,16 @@ reset_session() { # Also clear the Claude session file for consistency rm -f "$CLAUDE_SESSION_FILE" 2>/dev/null + # Clear exit signals to prevent stale completion indicators from causing premature exit (issue #91) + # This ensures a fresh start without leftover state from previous sessions + if [[ -f "$EXIT_SIGNALS_FILE" ]];
