Give the Puma plugin the pid of the litestream process - #4

Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change makes asynchronous replication return the Litestream process PID directly. The Puma plugin starts Litestream without a forked intermediary and removes Puma PID monitoring. Tests verify PID ownership and child-process reaping. The changelog documents the shutdown behavior.

- Around line 886-892: Update the test around Litestream::Commands.replicate to
read and store the executable PID, then wrap the assertions and normal shutdown
checks in an ensure block that always sends TERM and reaps that PID, including
when assert_equal fails.

Since 0.14 the plugin forked a Ruby child that called Commands.replicate(async: true), which forked again and exec'd the binary. The plugin held the outer pid, which exited as a zombie while the daemon was reparented to init. On Puma stop the hook fired, sent INT to the dead pid, and replication kept running. Commands.replicate(async: true) now uses Process.spawn and returns the daemon's pid; the plugin holds that pid and its INT-then-wait works. The extra monitor_puma thread went with the Ruby child; it could only run inside a Ruby process, and it only covered the case where Puma died without running its stop hooks.

32-50: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winKeep unexpected-exit monitoring, but give child reaping one owner.
on_bootedstartsmonitor_litestreamafterreplicate(async: true)returns the Litestream PID. Bothmonitor_litestreamandstop_litestreamcallProcess.waitpid(litestream_pid, Process::WNOHANG). Either path can reap the child. The monitor then treatsErrno::ECHILDas death and sendsINTto$$, so a normal stop or restart can trigger an extra Puma interrupt.The README states that Puma monitors and manages the replication process. Direct PID ownership does not make this unexpected-exit handling obsolete. Change the lifecycle so only one path reaps the child, while retaining the monitor's handling of an unexpected Litestream exit.

Standalone fix for a bug that exists on the current 0.14.0 release. Independent of the 0.5 work.
Problem
Since 0.14 (fractaledmind#62) the Puma plugin forks a Ruby child that calls
Commands.replicate(async: true), which forks again and execs the binary. The plugin holds the outer pid, which exits immediately as a zombie, while the daemon is reparented to init. On Puma stop the hook fires, sends INT to the dead pid, and replication keeps running.Reproduced on upstream main in a fresh Rails 8 app with Puma 8.0.2: after boot the tree under Puma was
[ruby] <defunct>and the daemon's parent was init; afterkill -INTon Puma the log saidStopping Litestream...and the daemon was still running. Three runs, same result.Change
Commands.replicate(async: true)usesProcess.spawnand returns the daemon's own pid. The plugin holds that pid, so its existing INT-then-wait works. Themonitor_pumathread goes with the Ruby child: it could only run inside a Ruby process, and it only covered Puma dying without running its stop hooks.Verified
kill -INTthe daemon logssignal received, litestream shutting downbefore Puma'sGoodbye!, and nolitestream replicateprocess survives.Puma 8 deprecates the
on_booted/on_stopped/on_restarthook names in favour ofafter_booted/after_stopped/before_restart; they still fire, so that is left alone here.Summary by CodeRabbit
