Sync all repositories in a single parallel pass, with live per-repository output - #75
Sync all repositories in a single parallel pass, with live per-repository output#75schlessera wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Long parallel runs currently interleave the output of every job into a
single stream, so it is impossible to tell which repository produced
which line, or which jobs are still running.
peek.php gives each job its own lane in the terminal: a line that shows
the job name, its latest output, and its elapsed time, replaced by a
final status line when the job exits. Concurrency stays with the caller
(xargs -P, parallel, make -j, &); peek only owns the display.
Usage is two commands:
php peek.php -- <scheduler command> # run the display
php peek.php run -n <name> -- <command> # wrap a single job
The wrapper degrades to executing its command unchanged whenever the
display is unavailable, so callers work either way. That covers
platforms without unix domain datagram sockets (Windows), PHP older than
7.4, non-TTY output such as CI logs, and NO_PEEK=1 for opting out.
phpcs gets targeted exclusions for the file: it is a single-file tool
meant to be copied around as-is, so it mixes functions and classes, and
it silences errors when probing optional platform features because
"unsupported, fall back to a passthrough" is the intended handling.
`composer install` and `composer update` run clone-all-repositories.sh, which cloned missing repositories in one parallel pass and then refreshed every repository in a second one. The barrier between the two stages left cores idle: the refresh pass could not start until the slowest clone finished, and on a fresh checkout the whole refresh pass was wasted work because a freshly cloned repository is already up to date. sync-repository.sh collapses both stages into one task per repository: clone when the folder is missing, refresh when it is not. That lets the script run a single continuous parallel pass that keeps every slot busy until the last repository is done. The pass now renders through peek.php, so each repository gets its own line showing what it is doing and how long it has taken, instead of ~90 repositories interleaving their git output into one stream. Running behind that display means an interactive prompt would be overdrawn the moment it appeared and would hang the run waiting for input nobody can see. Git and ssh prompt on /dev/tty rather than stdin, so prompting is disabled outright and failures surface as visible errors in the job's own lane instead: - GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 stops git asking for credentials. - BatchMode=yes makes ssh fail instead of asking for a passphrase or host key confirmation; keys served by an ssh-agent keep working. It is only applied when GIT_SSH_COMMAND is not already customized. - GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no keeps a non-fast-forward pull from opening an editor.

Fall back to passthrough when the feed is not connected.
PeekFeed never fails loudly. If PEEK_SOCK is set but the connect at line 176 fails, or the display already exited and removed the socket, $this->sock stays null and every send() returns immediately. peek_cmd_run still pipes the child's stdout and stderr into itself (lines 235-236) and passes each line only to $feed->line(). The output is then read and discarded, so the job produces no visible output and no error message.
Check the feed after construction and run the command unchanged when the connection failed.

Include the captured tail of failed lanes in the non-TTY summary.
peek_supported() does not require a TTY, so PEEK_SOCK is exported in CI as well. Each job then runs under peek.php run, which pipes the job output into the feed and prints nothing to STDOUT or STDERR (lines 235-245). In non-TTY mode the display never draws, and summary() prints only one header line per lane.
Result: in GitHub Actions all git clone and git pull output is discarded. A failed repository is reported as ✘ <name> exit 1 with no diagnostic text. The TTY path keeps this context on purpose (lines 433-438).
Print the retained tail for failed lanes in the summary.

Propagate refresh failures from .maintenance/refresh-repository.php.
The helper ignores the statuses from system() for git checkout and git pull, then exits normally with status 0. Because .maintenance/sync-repository.sh uses exec, failed refreshes reach peek.php and xargs as successful jobs. Return a nonzero status when either Git command fails.

What
composer install/composer updaterun.maintenance/clone-all-repositories.shvia thepre-install-cmd/pre-update-cmdhooks. That script did its work in two parallel passes separated by a barrier:This PR collapses that into one continuous parallel pass and gives each repository its own live line of output.
Why
The barrier wasted cores. The refresh pass could not start until the slowest clone finished, so every free slot sat idle waiting on one straggler.
The refresh pass redid work. On a fresh checkout, a repository that was just cloned is already up to date, but it still got a full
checkout+pullin stage 2.The output was unreadable. ~90 repositories interleaved their git output into one stream, so you could not tell which line came from which repository, or which jobs were still running.
How
sync-repository.sh(new)One task per repository: clone when the folder is missing, refresh when it is not. Freshly cloned repositories skip the refresh because they are already current. This is what lets the caller run a single pass instead of two staged ones.
The existing
clone-repository.shandrefresh-repository.phpare unchanged —sync-repository.shjust dispatches to them.peek.php(new)A self-contained display for parallel jobs you schedule yourself. Each job gets a lane showing its name, latest output line, and elapsed time, replaced by a final status line when it exits. Concurrency stays with the caller (
xargs -Phere); peek only owns the terminal.The wrapper degrades to executing its command unchanged whenever the display is unavailable, so nothing depends on it being supported:
NO_PEEK=1to opt out explicitlyNon-interactive git and ssh
Behind the display, an interactive prompt would be overdrawn the instant it appeared and would hang the run waiting for input nobody can see. Git and ssh prompt on
/dev/tty, not stdin, so redirecting input does not help. Prompting is disabled outright instead, which turns a silent hang into a visible error in the job's own lane:GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0— git does not ask for credentials.BatchMode=yes— ssh fails instead of asking for a passphrase or host key confirmation. Keys served by an ssh-agent keep working. Only applied whenGIT_SSH_COMMANDis not already customized, so an existing override wins.GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no— a non-fast-forward pull keeps the default merge message instead of opening an editor.phpcs
