Summary

Replaces the generic poll() retry loop with a purpose-built longPollUntil() for server-side blocking endpoints (wait_for_status, wait_for_command). This eliminates unnecessary sleep intervals between retries, transparently handles 408 server timeouts, and gives SDK users a simpler timeout-only configuration surface.

Changes

  • New longPollUntil() function — tight retry loop for server-side long-poll endpoints. No sleep between attempts (the server already blocks). Automatically retries on 408. Each request is raced against the remaining deadline via Promise.race so a hanging server can't block past timeoutMs.
  • New LongPollRequestOptions<T> type — replaces the { polling?: Partial<PollingOptions<T>> } option on all wait/await methods with { longPoll?: { timeoutMs } }. The old polling field still works (only timeoutMs is extracted) but emits a one-time deprecation warning for ignored fields like maxAttempts, pollingIntervalMs, initialDelayMs.
  • resolveLongPollTimeoutMs() helper — resolves the effective timeout from either the new or deprecated path, with deprecation console warnings.
  • Simplified devbox-state.tsawaitDevboxState now delegates to longPollUntil directly instead of wiring up poll() with onError / placeholder-result hacks for 408 handling.
  • Simplified executions.ts and devboxes.tsawaitCompleted, executeAndAwaitCompletion use longPollUntil directly, removing boilerplate 408 error handlers and placeholder results.
  • Execution.result() updated — uses longPollUntil instead of raw waitForCommand, respects longPoll.timeoutMs.
  • Cleaned up (this._client as any)._options.timeout casts to this._client.timeout across all resource methods.
  • poll() hardened — input validation for negative/zero timing params, maxAttempts=0 now means initial-request-only, timeout cleanup moved to finally block, delays are raced against the timeout.

Migration for SDK users

Before:

await client.devboxes.createAndAwaitRunning(params, {
  polling: { maxAttempts: 120, pollingIntervalMs: 5_000, timeoutMs: 600_000 },
});

After:

await client.devboxes.createAndAwaitRunning(params, {
  longPoll: { timeoutMs: 600_000 },
});

The old polling: { timeoutMs } path still works but will emit a deprecation warning. Fields like maxAttempts and pollingIntervalMs are silently ignored (with a one-time warning) since the server handles blocking and retry timing.

Testing

  • Unit tests for longPollUntil (retry on 408, deadline enforcement, onAttempt callback, error propagation)
  • Unit tests for awaitDevboxState (transition states, target state, timeout, 408 retry)
  • Unit tests for resolveLongPollTimeoutMs (deprecation warnings, precedence, reset)
  • Smoke tests updated to use new longPoll option (with some kept on deprecated polling path to verify backwards compat)

CodeAnt-AI Description

Use server-side long-polling for wait endpoints and add longPoll timeout option

What Changed

  • Wait endpoints (devbox status, command/wait_for_command, execute-and-wait flows) now use a server-aware long-poll loop that passes an AbortSignal to each request and retries transparently on 408 timeouts.
  • New client option longPoll: { timeoutMs } (LongPollRequestOptions) controls the overall long-poll deadline; the older polling:{ timeoutMs } path is still accepted but emits a one-time deprecation warning for ignored polling fields.
  • Timeouts are enforced mid-request by aborting the in-flight HTTP call (so operations do not hang past the configured deadline); external AbortSignal cancellation is also respected and surfaces a distinct abort error.
  • SDK public methods that waited/polled (devbox awaitRunning/awaitSuspended/createAndAwaitRunning, executions awaitCompleted/executeAndAwaitCompletion, Execution.result, etc.) accept the new longPoll-style options and now forward an AbortSignal when long-polling.
  • Tests updated/added to verify long-poll behavior: timeout enforcement, 408 transparent retries, deprecation warnings, and abort handling.

Impact

✅ Clearer timeout errors for long waits
✅ Fewer unnecessary retries for server-side wait endpoints
✅ In-flight waits can be cancelled promptly via AbortSignal

Suggestion: The long-polling wrapper does not set a per-request HTTP timeout on the underlying wait_for_status call, so the client's default request timeout (e.g. 30s) can cause an APIConnectionTimeoutError and abort the loop before the configured long-poll timeoutMs elapses; aligning the request-level timeout with the resolved long-poll timeout ensures the operation actually respects the caller's configured deadline. [logic error]

Severity Level: Major ⚠️
- ❌ devboxes.executions.awaitCompleted can timeout before caller-configured deadline.
- ❌ devboxes.executeAndAwaitCompletion inherits premature timeout on long jobs.
- ⚠️ Long-running shell commands may fail despite generous longPoll timeout.

Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Instantiate a Runloop client without overriding `timeout`, as in
`tests/api-resources/devboxes/executions.test.ts:7-10`, which uses `new Runloop({
bearerToken, baseURL })`. The `APIClient` constructor in `src/core.ts:192-221` sets
`this.timeout` to the default 30000 ms (30 seconds).

2. Trigger an async execution and wait on it via the public SDK, e.g.
`client.devboxes.executions.awaitCompleted(devboxId, execId, { longPoll: { timeoutMs: 10 *
60 * 1000 } })`, mirroring the call pattern in `tests/smoketests/executions.test.ts:32-39`
(which already calls `awaitCompleted` with long-poll-related options).

3. This call reaches `Executions.awaitCompleted` in
`src/resources/devboxes/executions.ts:64-83`, which currently passes only `{ body, signal,
maxRetries: 0 }` into `this._client.post(...)`. In `src/core.ts:323-341`, `buildRequest`
sees no per-request `timeout` on these options, so it uses the client default
`this.timeout` (30s) for the HTTP request.

4. When the server-side `wait_for_status` endpoint (a long-poll) holds the connection
longer than 30 seconds but less than the configured `longPoll.timeoutMs` (e.g. a slow
devbox execution), `fetchWithTimeout` in `src/core.ts:556-583` aborts the HTTP request
after 30s, causing `makeRequest` to surface an `APIConnectionTimeoutError`
(core.ts:486-500). In `longPollUntil` (`src/lib/polling.ts:127-185`), the `catch` block
sees a non-`APIError` error and rethrows it (since `iterationSignal` was not aborted), so
`awaitCompleted` rejects after ~30 seconds instead of honoring the 10-minute
`longPoll.timeoutMs`.

Suggestion: The new "snapshot disk async" smoketest creates an asynchronous disk snapshot but never deletes it, unlike the synchronous snapshot test above that explicitly calls snapshot.delete(), so snapshots will accumulate in the backend over repeated test runs and can eventually exhaust quota or clutter the environment. [resource leak]

Severity Level: Major ⚠️
- ❌ Smoketest leaves async devbox snapshots undeleted in backend.
- ⚠️ Repeated CI runs accumulate disk snapshots consuming storage quota.

});
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Run the Jest smoketest suite that includes `smoketest: object-oriented devbox` in
`tests/smoketests/object-oriented/devbox.test.ts:8`.

2. During the run, the `test('snapshot disk async', ...)` at
`tests/smoketests/object-oriented/devbox.test.ts:574-590` executes
`sourceDevbox.snapshotDiskAsync({...})`, which calls `Devbox.snapshotDiskAsync` in
`src/sdk/devbox.ts:972-976`.

3. `Devbox.snapshotDiskAsync` delegates to `this.client.devboxes.snapshotDiskAsync`
(`src/sdk/devbox.ts:972-976`), which issues a POST to
`/v1/devboxes/{id}/snapshot_disk_async` returning a `DevboxSnapshotView` that represents a
persistent disk snapshot (`src/resources/devboxes/devboxes.ts:503-515`).

4. The test only asserts `snapshot.id` and then shuts down the devbox
(`devbox.test.ts:585-588`) without calling `snapshot.delete()`, unlike the adjacent
synchronous snapshot test that explicitly deletes the snapshot (`devbox.test.ts:541-572`),
so each smoketest run leaves an additional undeleted snapshot on the backend (verifiable
by listing snapshots via `SnapshotOps` in `src/sdk/snapshot.ts:42-75` after repeated
runs).
