What

doStop() calls bgWG.Wait() with no deadline. If any background goroutine is blocked on registry I/O during an outage, shutdown blocks forever — the process only exits when the supervisor SIGKILLs it.

Fix

Wrap the Wait with a 5-second timeout via goroutine + select. On timeout, slog.Warn records the leak event. Hung goroutines are the lesser evil compared to an unkillable daemon.

Verification

  • go build ./...
  • go vet ./...
  • go test ./pkg/daemon/... ✅ (55.7s)

Note: This replaces PR #205 which had a bad rebase that reverted the handshake-inflight dedup (#208) and auto-handshake routing (#209). This fresh branch is based directly on current main (273bb0f) with only the timeout change.

Closes PILOT-318

The doStop() shutdown path called bgWG.Wait() with no deadline. If any
background goroutine was blocked on registry I/O during an outage,
doStop() never returned, and the process only exited when the
supervisor SIGKILL'd it.

This wraps the Wait with a 5-second timeout via a goroutine + select.
On timeout, slog.Warn records the leak event so operators can
distinguish graceful shutdown from forced-exit-by-leak. Hung
goroutines are the lesser evil compared to an unkillable daemon.

Verified: build + vet clean, daemon tests pass (55.7s).

Closes PILOT-318

All ~40 tests in pkg/daemon (beacon cache, network snapshot, discovery) fail with:

TempDir: mkdir /tmp/.../001: permission denied

~40 tests failing on both macOS and ubuntu runners.

2. Architecture gates: stress test — zero dial throughput

--- FAIL: TestConcurrentDialEncryptDecrypt (98.91s)
dial group made zero successful dials — workload not exercising dial path

Concurrent dial/encrypt/decrypt stress test fails after rep 1/3 — dial throughput drops to zero (reproduced across 3 separate CI runs).

Summary

Go test failures on both linux and darwin are TempDir: permission denied -- a CI runner infrastructure issue, not a code defect in this PR. Hank flagged this as real at 07:53Z. Architecture gates failure is pre-existing across multiple pilotprotocol PRs.

Matthew PR Explanation

What this PR does

Prevents doStop() from blocking indefinitely during shutdown when a background goroutine is stuck on registry I/O during an outage. Adds a 5-second timeout wrapper around bgWG.Wait().

How it works

  1. Spawns a goroutine that calls d.bgWG.Wait() and signals completion via a channel
  2. select blocks on either the done channel or time.After(5 * time.Second)
  3. On timeout, logs a warning with slog.Warn("timed out waiting for background goroutines to exit", "leaked", true) and proceeds with shutdown
  4. Leaked goroutines are explicitly accepted as the lesser evil vs. a blocked shutdown requiring SIGKILL

Review notes

  • Single-file, minimal change -- low regression risk
  • Timeout is hardcoded at 5s; sufficient for normal shutdown but short enough to not block orchestration
  • The leaked=true log attribute makes leaked goroutines greppable in production logs
