Summary

  • Wrap the DartToolingDaemon.connect handshake in a guarded try/catch so a failed/mismatched DTD handshake (e.g. DDS endpoints that do not speak the DTD protocol) no longer aborts the VM service connection.
  • Log a warning (DTD unavailable at <wsUri>) and set _dartToolingDaemon to null so DTD-dependent features degrade gracefully.

Branch update

Testing

  • Merge of main completed with no conflicts; existing connection tests cover the degraded path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Disconnect operations now complete reliably without waiting indefinitely for websocket closure.
    • VM-service connections can remain available when the optional tooling handshake fails.
    • Connection upgrade failures are reported as standard connection errors instead of unhandled asynchronous errors.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The VM connection context now bounds websocket shutdown, treats DTD handshake failures as non-fatal, and awaits websocket upgrade readiness so connection failures surface through normal error handling.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bound disconnect and connection setup failures
mcp_server_dart/lib/src/shared_core/vm_connections/connection_context.dart
disconnect() limits websocket sink closure to one second and suppresses late errors. _connectToEndpoint() logs DTD handshake failures, keeps the DTD connection null, and awaits websocket upgrade readiness with a timeout.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 40b4b

DTD failures now degrade gracefully, but the failure path may expose VM-service authentication tokens in logs and leave a WebSocket open after timeout. These security and lifecycle issues should be fixed before merge.

Await WebSocketChannel.ready so connection failures surface as normal
errors from _connectToEndpoint instead of unhandled async errors, and
bound sink.close() in disconnect() since it never completes when the
websocket upgrade failed. This keeps DTD graceful-degradation correct
when the VM endpoint is unreachable or not a websocket endpoint.

to redact the VM-service URI, logging only its host and port, and remove
unsanitized exception text from the message. Preserve the existing error context
while ensuring authentication tokens and raw exception details are not logged.
- Line 676: Update the DTD connection flow around dtdFuture and timeout handling
to create and retain the WebSocketChannel, close its sink when the handshake
timeout occurs, and construct the daemon via DartToolingDaemon.fromStreamChannel
using that channel. Preserve the existing successful connection behavior and
timeout result.

- Own the DTD WebSocketChannel so a failed/timeout handshake closes the
  sink (bounded) instead of leaking the socket, then build the daemon via
  DartToolingDaemon.fromStreamChannel (equivalent to DTD.connect).
- Redact the VM-service URI from the DTD-unavailable warning: log only
  host and port plus the sanitized error type, since the URI path
  carries an auth token (CWE-532).
- Explicitly type the new future variables (Future<void>).
