Large-project builds can make the editor UI stutter, freeze, and eventually restart with an OutOfMemoryError; the reporter reproduced it with Xed-Editor while the default Compose template remained stable. The latest stack trace anchors the allocation failure in BuildOutputFragment.processLogs, where an unlimited channel is drained into an unbounded StringBuilder. Although BuildOutputViewModel now stores output in a file and limits restored/cached content to a 512 KiB tail, the live editor still appends every processed line for the duration of a build. The fix must bound both pending batches and the live editor document without changing the build-service-to-fragment call path.

Summary

Introduce a small production-consumed BuildOutputBuffer that accepts the fragment's incoming strings, emits size-limited batches in order, and enforces a fixed pending-output budget; when a producer burst exceeds that budget, coalesce the dropped count into one explicit omission marker rather than retaining an unlimited backlog. Update BuildOutputFragment to consume those bounded batches, keep the existing session-generation checks, and replace the live editor content with the filtered tail from BuildOutputViewModel whenever appending would exceed the editor window instead of allowing the Sora document to grow for the whole build. Move the editor-window limit into an internal BuildOutputViewModel contract used by both file-tail reads and the fragment so restore and live-stream behavior cannot diverge.

Test plan

  • A burst whose total size is below the pending and batch limits is emitted in original order, with missing trailing newlines normalized exactly once.
  • Input larger than one batch is split across bounded batches without duplicating or reordering retained lines, and no emitted batch grows beyond the limit except for one indivisible oversized input line handled according to the documented cap policy.
  • When producers exceed the pending-output budget, memory stays bounded and the next consumed output contains a single omission marker with the accumulated dropped-line count before normal ordered output resumes.
  • Repeated live batches that cross the 512 KiB editor limit trigger a tail refresh; the visible document remains within the shared window limit and ends with the newest build output.
  • Clearing for a new build resets queued output, overflow accounting, and visible-window accounting so stale lines or omission markers cannot enter the new session.
  • Filtering and timestamp/delta visibility are applied to the refreshed tail just as they are to ordinary live batches, while the session file remains the source for the unfiltered retained output.

Fixes #1367

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary
  • Bound live build output memory with thread-safe BuildOutputBuffer batching.
  • Limit pending output and retain the newest output when overflow occurs.
  • Report dropped lines with omission markers.
  • Preserve output order and session-generation checks.
  • Refresh the editor with a filtered tail when output exceeds the shared window limit.
  • Add tests for batching, overflow, clearing, session handling, and tail filtering.
  • Risk: Asynchronous buffering and editor refresh changes may affect output timing or stale-update handling.
  • Risk: The omission marker is hardcoded in English instead of using string resources.

Walkthrough

The build output pipeline now uses bounded buffering, session tokens, and guarded editor rendering. Output is persisted before buffering. Stale writes and asynchronous editor updates are rejected. Filtering and window restoration use bounded snapshots.

Changes

Build output pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded output buffering
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/fragments/output/BuildOutputBuffer.kt
Adds synchronized, bounded output storage with newline normalization, ordered session-tagged batches, omission markers, clearing, and availability notifications.
Session validation and window refresh
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/viewmodel/BuildOutputViewModel.kt
Adds session tokens and stale-write rejection inside the file lock. It also replaces tail fitting with editor refresh character calculations.
Session-safe rendering integration
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/fragments/output/BuildOutputFragment.kt
Persists output before buffering, restores windows before processing logs, guards asynchronous rendering by generation and session, and continues processing after non-cancellation batch failures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b2581

If restoring previously saved build output fails, live build logs may not appear and filtering may stop for that session. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merging.

I’m a rabbit guarding each build line,
Bounded batches move in time.
Stale writes leave the session gate,
Fresh windows render at a steady rate.
Clear paths keep the buffer light.

Document the threading invariant for these counters.

@Volatile gives visibility but not atomicity. Every update in this file uses +=, which is a read-modify-write. The code is correct only because all writes happen on the main thread (lines 138-139, 326-327, 345-346, 359-360, 388-389, 457, 487-488, 501-502, 513-514), while line 445 performs a read from a background dispatcher.

That invariant is load-bearing and not visible at the declaration. Add a short comment. If a future change writes from a background dispatcher, switch to AtomicInteger.

As per coding guidelines: "Use short comments only for non-obvious reasons, workarounds, constraints, or subtle invariants."

The launch plus join() is redundant and the comment is misleading.

This block already runs on the main thread inside the withContext(Dispatchers.Main) at line 335. It launches a child coroutine on the same dispatcher and then calls job.join() at line 366, so the caller waits for it. The append is not deferred. The comment at line 351 states the opposite.

The child uses viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope, but the parent at line 101 uses the same scope, so the cancellation behavior is identical. Call awaitLayout inline.

Note the equivalent branch in flushToEditor at lines 507-519 launches without joining, so it is genuinely deferred. Align the two paths or document why they differ.

These two tests re-implement the production algorithm instead of calling it.

Both tests copy the append-or-refresh decision loop from BuildOutputFragment.flushToEditor into the test body. They assert that the local copy behaves as expected. They do not execute BuildOutputFragment. If the fragment logic changes, these tests still pass. The only production code they cover is wouldExceedEditorWindow and filterLines.

The refresh branch in BuildOutputFragment is the core of this memory fix and currently has no direct test.

Extract the decision into a pure function on BuildOutputViewModel (for example nextEditorWindow(visible, sourceChars, batch)), call it from both flushToEditor and these tests. Then the tests bind to production behavior.

Both tests also live in BuildOutputBufferTest but exercise BuildOutputViewModel. Move them to a BuildOutputViewModelTest class.

As per coding guidelines: "Use unit tests for non-UI logic, cover error and edge paths, and target at least 50% line and branch coverage for new or changed non-UI code."

Strengthen this test so it verifies the retainedChars reset.

With maxPendingChars = 4, the input "kept" normalizes to 5 characters. BuildOutputBuffer.offer rejects it and records an omission marker, so nothing is ever retained. The test then passes without exercising the retainedChars = 0 reset in clear().

Use a limit that retains "kept". Then clear() must reset the accounting for "new" to be retained. Also assert pendingChars after the clear.

Document the isCurrentSession contract in the KDoc.

The new parameter changes the contract of append. Callers must know two things: the callback runs on Dispatchers.IO while the file lock is held, and a false result discards the text silently without an error.

The placement of the check inside lock.withLock is correct. It closes the race against clear(), which takes the same lock.

As per coding guidelines: "Public classes, functions, and non-obvious logic must have KDoc or Javadoc documenting contracts, rationale, threading, nullability, side effects, or units."

📝 Proposed KDoc update
 	/**
 	 * Appends text to the session file. File I/O is performed on a background dispatcher; call from
 	 * any thread. Prefer calling before switching to Main so disk write does not block the UI.

Size the editor window and snapshot cache independently. EDITOR_WINDOW_MAX_CHARS is 512 Ki characters now, and readTailFromFile() decodes a full 4x byte range before taking the tail. The cache limit is tied to that same value, so each large append rebuilds a 512 Ki-character snapshot with (cachedContentSnapshot + text).takeLast(...). Decode only the needed tail or cap the in-memory append cache separately.

Review of the memory-bounding change. Ten findings inline below (F01-F10), ordered high to medium; the three high ones are F01, F02 and F03.

The headline is F01: the window-refresh trigger has no hysteresis, so once the session file passes 512K chars every subsequent batch does a 2 MB disk read, a full re-filter and a setText(512K) on the main thread. Past that point the change costs more memory and more main-thread time than the Channel.UNLIMITED code it replaces, which inverts the goal of the PR. F05 and F06 are the other pair worth resolving before merge: overflow now drops output before it reaches build_output_session.txt, and it drops the newest lines rather than the oldest, so a build that produces a noisy burst and then fails loses exactly the trailing error region the user needs.

Worth saying plainly: the isCurrentSession guard (F07) fixes a real pre-existing race, and none of this is a security issue — a separate security pass over the diff found nothing at HIGH or MEDIUM, and re-priming the shareable snapshot from getWindowForEditor() narrows rather than widens what leaves the app.

One meta point (F14 in my notes, not inline since it isn't anchored to a changed line): the test suite models flushToEditor's window logic inline in BuildOutputBufferTest rather than calling the fragment, so F01-F04 are all invisible to it. The first test stops one batch short of exposing F01 — a fourth chunk would push refreshCount to 2, a fifth to 3, which is the thrash.

F01 (high): no hysteresis — past 512K, every batch triggers a full window refresh.

getWindowForEditor() -> readTailFromFile(file, 512*1024) ends in decoded.takeLast(maxChars) (BuildOutputViewModel.kt:191), so for any session file larger than the window it returns exactly 524288 chars. The refresh path then sets editorSourceChars = refreshedWindow.second = 524288 (line 488).

wouldExceedEditorWindow(524288, n) is 524288 > 524288 - n, which is true for every n >= 1. So the next batch refreshes too, and the one after that, indefinitely.

Concretely, a Gradle build emitting 2 MB of output: after the first ~512K, each ~32K batch allocates a 2 MB ByteArray plus a ~4 MB String, does a 512K takeLast, re-runs filterLines over 512K, then calls editor.setText(512K) and onContentReplaced() — which tears down the active search — on the UI thread. That is strictly worse than the code being replaced, on both memory and main-thread time.

Fix: give the trigger hysteresis, e.g. after a refresh set editorSourceChars to a value below the threshold, or only refresh every N chars. Better still, LogViewFragment.trimLinesAtStart() (LogViewFragment.kt:292-303) already trims the Sora Content in place with delete(0, 0, lastLine, getColumnCount(lastLine)) — no disk read, no setText of the whole window.

F02 (high): one live batch makes the restore silently discard the entire window.

restoreWindowFromViewModel() and processLogs() are launched concurrently (lines 101-102). The counter snapshot at 310-311 is taken on Dispatchers.Default, before the hop to Main. Any flushToEditor that reaches lines 501-502 in between bumps both counters, so isRestoreCurrent() is false at 343 and editor.appendBatch(content) never runs.

Repro: rotate the device (or return to the tab) during an active build with ~400K of prior output. The previous content is never restored — the editor shows only the lines streamed after the rotation, until the user happens to change a filter. The pre-PR code appended content unconditionally on this path, so this loss is new.

editorContentGeneration on its own was the correct guard: it is bumped by exactly the two operations that invalidate a restore (clearOutput, and the refresh path at 486). The two char counters change on every ordinary append, which is not the same predicate.

F03 (high): += into a counter that was never reset for this view, and onDestroyView() zeroes neither counter.

onDestroyView() (371-376) clears searchLayout/filterBar and releases the editor, but leaves visibleEditorChars/editorSourceChars holding the old view's values. On the next onViewCreated the editor is empty, yet this line adds content.length on top of the stale value — e.g. 300000 + 100000 = 400000 for an editor that actually holds 100000 chars.

editorSourceChars is likewise stale for the whole window between view creation and restore completion, and it is the input to wouldExceedEditorWindow(editorSourceChars, text.length) at 445 — so the first post-rotation batch can force (or wrongly skip) a full window refresh based on the previous view's accounting.

Both should be = here, since the editor is empty at this point, and both should be zeroed in onDestroyView().

F04 (medium): the counters are incremented even when the append silently did nothing.

IDEEditor.appendBatch is if (isReadyToAppend) { runCatching { append(text) } } (IDEEditor.kt:342-346) — it no-ops when the editor is released, detached or zero-width, and swallows any exception from Sora's layout engine. Lines 500-502 and 512-514 add visibleText.length / text.length regardless.

Same shape at 486-488: editor?.setText(...) is null-safe, but the counters and editorContentGeneration++ are applied even when editor is null.

Once drifted, editorSourceChars over-counts and wouldExceedEditorWindow starts forcing full-window refreshes for content the editor never received — which compounds F01.

F05 (medium): overflow discards output before it is ever written to the session file.

The 256K budget is a pending budget, but the drop happens here in offer(), upstream of buildOutputViewModel.append() (BuildOutputFragment.kt:442) — the durable, file-backed sink that the in-memory bound was supposed to make unnecessary.

processLogs() only runs while viewLifecycleOwner is alive, so output arriving before onViewCreated, or while the ViewPager2 adapter has destroyed the build-output tab's view, has no consumer at all: past 256K everything becomes an omission marker and is permanently gone from build_output_session.txt, from share/copy, and from BuildOutputProvider. Channel.UNLIMITED never lost data.

F01 makes this fire during an ordinary build too — at ~100 ms of main-thread work per refreshed batch, 256K of pending output accumulates in a second or two of noisy Gradle output.

Fix: keep the disk record complete by writing on the producer side (or from an application-scoped consumer), and let the bound govern only what the editor holds. If dropping to disk is intended, it belongs in the PR description — shared and emailed logs now gain gaps where they used to be complete.

F06 (medium): drops the newest output and retains the oldest — the opposite of the other log buffer in this app, and the opposite of what a build log needs.

LogBuffer.append (app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/logs/LogBuffer.kt:64-66) evicts from the head: repeat(entries.size - maxEntryCount) { entries.removeFirst() }. This buffer keeps the first 256K and converts everything after it into [N build output lines omitted].

A build that dumps a large dependency-resolution or Kotlin-warning burst and then fails will retain the burst and replace the trailing compiler error, stack trace and BUILD FAILED region with the marker — the user keeps the part they don't need and loses the part they opened the panel for.

Evict from the head instead, coalescing the omission marker at the front, matching LogBuffer.

F07 (medium): the session-invalidation fix is a caller-supplied predicate rather than a token the ViewModel owns.

To be clear up front, the guard itself is a real fix: the pre-PR code checked the generation only before the suspending append(), so a stale batch could re-create the deleted file and repopulate cachedContentSnapshot. Re-checking inside the lock closes that. The objection is only to where it lives.

isCurrentSession: () -> Boolean = { true } makes correctness depend on every caller remembering to pass the closure — the default silently restores the old racy behaviour — and on that closure reading BuildOutputFragment.sessionGeneration, a private @Volatile in a different class, from inside this ViewModel's ReentrantLock.

The ViewModel already owns the session, since clear() is what deletes the file. So the generation belongs here: clear() bumps it, append(text, token) compares against its own field. As written, a future second caller of append() gets the unguarded default and can resurrect a cleared session file — and with no BuildOutputViewModel instance test in the repo, the invariant is currently untestable without the fragment.

F08 (medium): fitEditorWindow() can never truncate at any of its three call sites.

All three calls (BuildOutputFragment.kt:132, 301, 466) are fitEditorWindow(filterLines(window, ...)), where window = getWindowForEditor() is already capped at EDITOR_WINDOW_MAX_CHARS by readTailFromFile's takeLast(maxChars). filterLines only ever shrinks its input — it drops non-matching lines and strips prefixes.

The one case where it grows is +1 char, when the input lacks a trailing newline. In exactly that case this helper silently chops the first character off the oldest line.

So it is dead defensive code that makes the bound look enforced while the real enforcement lives entirely in readTailFromFile. Either drop it, or make it the single enforcement point and stop depending on the tail read's cap.

F09 (medium): user-visible English string hardcoded in code, and ungrammatical at a count of 1.

[$lineCount build output lines omitted] renders as [1 build output lines omitted], and stays English in all 12 localized values-* dirs that translate the other ~1200 strings in resources/src/main/res/values/strings.xml (msg_no_filter_matches at line 689 is the neighbouring case). It needs a <plurals> resource.

One wrinkle: the marker is also written into the session file via buildOutputViewModel.append(), so it leaks into shared/copied build output and into BuildOutputProvider.getBuildOutputContent(). That argues for keeping the on-disk form a stable, non-localized marker and localizing only what the editor renders.

F10 (medium): offer() runs on the main thread, and this scan is wasted on the common path.

Every build line reaches appendOutput on the UI thread: GradleBuildService.wrap -> runOnUiThread (common/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/tasks/TaskExecutor.kt:115) -> EditorBuildEventListener.onOutput -> ProjectHandlerActivity.appendBuildOutput -> EditorBottomSheet.appendBuildOut -> BuildOutputFragment.appendOutput. So offer() is always on the UI thread.

This line scans the whole string with text.count { it == '\n' }, and line 90 allocates "$text\n" — both inside synchronized(lock). The removed code did the equivalent (ensureNewline inside drainTo) on Dispatchers.Default.

lineCount is only consumed on the overflow branch, so on the common path the scan is pure waste. Compute it lazily inside the if at 74.

F01: the window refresh had no hysteresis, so once the session file passed
the threshold every subsequent batch did a full disk read, re-filter and
setText. The source-char counter is now reset to a base value after each
refresh instead of being left parked at the threshold.

F05/F06: overflow dropped the newest input and could strand an oversized
one entirely. Eviction now removes the oldest pending output first and
retains the newest tail, and the omission marker is folded into a single
leading entry that tracks both line and character counts.

F07: session invalidation is owned by the ViewModel as a token
(currentSessionToken / isCurrentSession) rather than a caller-supplied
predicate, so a stale writer cannot outlive clear().

F08: fitEditorWindow could never truncate at any of its three call sites,
since every caller passed an already-filtered window. Removed.

F09: the omission marker pluralizes rather than rendering
"1 build output lines omitted".

Thanks for the depth here — F01 was the right thing to lead with. All ten are addressed in b258106.

F01. You're right that without hysteresis the change inverts its own goal past 512K. The source-char counter is now reset to a base value after each refresh (editorSourceCharsAfterRefresh) rather than left parked at the threshold, so a refresh no longer re-arms itself on the very next batch.

F02. restoreWindowFromViewModel and processLogs now coordinate through editorContentMutex plus an editorContentGeneration counter; the restore checks isRestoreCurrent() inside the lock and drops itself if a flush landed first, instead of discarding the window.

F03. onDestroyView zeroes both counters.

F04. appendBatch became appendBatchIfReady, which reports whether the append actually happened; the counters and generation bump only advance on a real append.

F05/F06. Overflow now evicts the oldest pending output and retains the newest tail, so an oversized input is truncated rather than stranded, and the omission marker is one leading entry carrying both line and char counts (saturating, so it can't wrap).

F07. The session token is ViewModel-owned — currentSessionToken / isCurrentSession — rather than a caller-supplied predicate.

F08. Deleted. You were right that all three call sites pre-filtered, so it could never truncate.

F09. Pluralized.

F10. The full count { '\n' } scan is off the common path — it now runs only when a fragment actually overflows. offer() still normalizes a trailing newline, which is a length check plus at most one concat.

One caveat: the omission marker string is still hardcoded English. Happy to route it through the string resources if you'd prefer that before merge.

Kotlin coroutines official documentation child coroutine exception cancels parent sibling launch structured concurrency

💡 Result:

In Kotlin coroutines, structured concurrency ensures that parent-child relationships manage the lifecycle and failure propagation of coroutines [1][2]. The behavior regarding exceptions depends on the type of exception and the job hierarchy [3][4]. 1. Exception Propagation: If a child coroutine fails with an exception other than CancellationException, it immediately cancels its parent [3][2]. Consequently, the parent cancels its other children (siblings) [2][5]. This is the default mechanism for maintaining consistent state within a coroutine hierarchy [3]. 2. CancellationException: If a coroutine fails (or is cancelled) with a CancellationException, it is considered a normal cancellation [6][2]. It cancels itself and its own children, but it does not propagate the cancellation to its parent or siblings [2]. 3. SupervisorJob: To prevent a child's failure from cancelling its parent or siblings, you can use a SupervisorJob or supervisorScope [3][2]. With a SupervisorJob, a child's failure does not propagate upwards, allowing sibling coroutines to continue running independently [3][4]. When multiple children fail, the first exception encountered is propagated to the parent, while subsequent exceptions are attached to the first as suppressed exceptions [3][2]. CoroutineExceptionHandler is typically used only for root coroutines or within a supervisor scope, as it does not intercept exceptions that are still propagating to a parent [3][7][8].

Citations:


Handle restore failures inside the lifecycle coroutine.

If restoreWindowFromViewModel() throws, processLogs() does not start. The exception also cancels the parent scope and its filter collector. Catch non-cancellation failures, log them, and continue to the batch loop. Rethrow CancellationException.

@mvanhorn Thanks — I re-read all three production files at b258106, not just the commit message. F01 through F08 and F10 are genuinely fixed, and a few go further than I asked: the refresh path now reads getCachedContentSnapshot() instead of getWindowForEditor(), so the 2 MB ByteArray read per refresh is gone entirely, and newline normalization moved off the UI thread into appendOutput. The hysteresis test is a real regression test — with the old editorSourceChars = window.length it would count 6 refreshes instead of 2.

F09 is the one still open. I've left an inline note asking for the strings.xml move; it is cheaper now than when I filed it, because your F05 fix means the marker never reaches disk.

Two new inline comments: F15 (high) and F16 (low), both introduced by this commit.

CodeRabbit reached F15 independently. Its one actionable comment on this push is on the same two lines (96-97) with the same remedy — catch and log non-cancellation failures from restoreWindowFromViewModel(), rethrow CancellationException, then continue into processLogs(). Its merge-risk note says the same thing in prose: "If restoring previously saved build output fails, live build logs may not appear and filtering may stop for that session." Two independent readers landing on one defect is worth weighting.

Merge conflicts — please rebase, and expect this one to be semantic

The PR is CONFLICTING / DIRTY against stage. Both conflicting files are yours:

  • app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/fragments/output/BuildOutputFragment.kt
  • app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/viewmodel/BuildOutputViewModel.kt

One commit causes it: #1763, ADFA-5307 2c05884a8 ("Return real build log from getBuildOutput"), merged after you branched. It rewrote the same write path, so a textual rebase will compile and still be wrong. Four things to reconcile:

  1. Double write. EditorBottomSheet.appendBuildOut on stage now calls both buildOutputViewModel.appendAsync(str) and pagerAdapter.buildOutputFragment?.appendOutput(str). Your F05 fix made appendOutput write to the session file too. Rebased as-is, every build line is written to build_output_session.txt twice.

  2. Duplicate F07 fix. stage already added a ViewModel-owned sessionGeneration, bumped by clear(), plus appendForSession(text, generation) that checks it inside the file lock — the same fix as your currentSessionToken / isCurrentSession. Keep one; theirs is already the merged one.

  3. appendMutex no longer orders the disk write. snapshotEditorWindow() comments that "the snapshot already contains everything persisted before this boundary." That holds only while this fragment owns the write. On stage, writes go through a Channel.UNLIMITED and a viewModelScope writer coroutine, so they are not ordered by your mutex, and the invariant that makes outputBuffer.clear() safe there breaks.

  4. Renames underneath your new constants. stage deleted the instance readTailFromFile, moved it to the companion next to a new tailFromLineStart, and renamed the window constant to WINDOW_SIZE_CHARS. Your EDITOR_WINDOW_MAX_CHARS, EDITOR_WINDOW_REFRESH_CHARS and editorSourceCharsAfterRefresh() need to be rehomed against those.

Item 1 is the one that changes behaviour silently, so it's worth a check after the rebase rather than a read.

Nothing here is a blocker on the work you did — the ten findings are answered. Happy to re-review once the rebase and F09 are in.

F15 (high, new in b258106): a failed restore now takes live streaming with it.

Before this commit restoreWindowFromViewModel() and processLogs() were sibling launches, so either could fail without touching the other. They are now sequential in one coroutine, so processLogs() starts only if the restore returns normally. Two ways it doesn't:

  1. Restore throws. Anything inside it — snapshotEditorWindow()'s IO read, filterLines, editor.setText("") at line 315 — kills this launch, and processLogs() is never reached. The session file and the 256K bound stay healthy; the panel simply stops updating for the life of this view, and a filter change is the only thing that repaints it.

  2. Layout never completes. The timeout branch at line 342 re-awaits awaitLayout() with no timeout. If the editor never gets a width — build-output tab never selected in the pager — that suspension never resumes, and processLogs() never starts.

CodeRabbit's single actionable comment on this push is on these same two lines, with the same remedy, so this isn't just my reading.

Fix either way: restore the two sibling launches, or wrap the restore in the same shape you already applied to the batch loop at lines 433-437 — rethrow CancellationException, log everything else, then fall through to processLogs().

F16 (low, new in b258106): the refresh decision reads editorSourceChars off Main and outside the mutex.

flushToEditor runs on Dispatchers.Default (line 97, line 424). This line reads editorSourceChars there, but every write to it happens on Main inside editorContentMutex (lines 500, 506, 516, plus renderFiltered at 135 and restore at 336). @Volatile prevents tearing, not staleness — the value can change between this read and the lock at line 488, so a batch can refresh a window that was just refreshed, or skip a refresh it needed.

Low severity, and I want to say why rather than just flag it: processLogs() is a single consumer, so flushes don't race each other, and the 128K hysteresis band your F01 fix introduced absorbs a batch or two of drift. The only real racers are renderFiltered and clearOutput, both of which bump editorContentGeneration and so already drop the batch at line 490.

Recording it so the next reader doesn't have to re-derive that it's benign. If you want it airtight, move the wouldExceedEditorWindow read inside the editorContentMutex block — though that means computing the refreshed window under the lock, which is the trade you were avoiding.

F09 follow-up — could you move this string to strings.xml before merge?

The pluralization fixes "1 build output lines omitted", thanks. The localization half is still open, and it is cheaper to close now than when I filed it: because appendOutput persists to the session file before offering to the buffer (BuildOutputFragment.kt:398-403), the marker no longer reaches build_output_session.txt, share/copy, or BuildOutputProvider. It is editor-only text now, so there is no stable on-disk form to protect and the whole string can be localized.

Home for it: resources/src/main/res/values/strings.xml, next to msg_no_filter_matches (line 689).

One thing to know before you pick a form: this repo currently has no <plurals> resource and no getQuantityString call anywhere. So a <plurals name="msg_build_output_lines_omitted"> is the correct Android mechanism and I'd take it, but it would be the first, and it lands in 12 values-* dirs. If you'd rather not be the one to introduce that, a plain <string> with a %1$d placeholder and your existing singular/plural branch kept in code is fine by me — the point of the finding is that the text stops being a Kotlin literal, not which resource type carries it.

Two ways to keep BuildOutputBuffer free of a Context and unit-testable — your call:

  • Constructor parameter formatOmission: (Long) -> String, defaulted to the current literal for tests; the fragment passes the resolved-string lambda.
  • Add omittedLines: Long to Batch and format on Main in flushToEditor. An Omission is only ever added with addFirst and there is at most one, so when a batch contains a marker it is always at index 0 of batch.text — prepending in the fragment preserves order.
