Resolves #2586.

/claim #2586

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added reliable atomic saving for resume configuration files, helping prevent partially written or corrupted files if a write operation fails.
    • Concurrent save operations are serialized to ensure consistent results.
    • Resume configuration updates are now safely finalized only after the complete file has been written and synchronized.

Walkthrough

The change adds runner.SaveAtomic, which serializes writes with a mutex, writes data to a temporary file, syncs and closes it, then atomically renames it over the target.

Changes

Atomic resume saving

Layer / File(s) Summary
Atomic save implementation
runner/atomic_resume.go
Adds SaveAtomic. It creates a same-directory temporary file, writes and syncs the data, closes the file, and renames it over the target. Write, sync, and close errors remove the temporary file and preserve the target.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f7076

Resume progress remains usable, but resumed runs omit the saved checkpoint source. Align the serialized field name before merge or accept this bounded regression.

Explanation

Issue #2586 requires TLS fingerprinting for probes, including JA3 and JA4 calculation in probing pipelines. The PR changes SaveResumeConfig to use SaveAtomic and adds serialized atomic resume-file writes. The reviewed changes do not add TLS fingerprint calculation, probe-pipeline integration, or automated tests for JA3/JA4 behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR adds runner/atomic_resume.go and changes resume-file persistence in runner/runner.go. The linked issue concerns TLS fingerprinting. The reviewed evidence shows no connection between atomic resume-file persistence and the TLS fingerprinting objective.

using the existing format, then write it through SaveAtomic instead of directly
calling goconfig.Save with DefaultResumeFile. Preserve the current target path
and error propagation.
- Line 35: Update SaveAtomic around the successful os.Rename to invoke a

systems, then return any sync or close error; keep Windows builds free of
unconditional POSIX directory-sync calls.

Sync the parent directory after the rename on POSIX systems.

SaveAtomic syncs the temporary file but not the directory entry created by os.Rename. A power loss can leave resume.cfg at its previous version or absent. Resume can then load an older checkpoint or start from the beginning and reprocess completed inputs.

Use a platform-specific directory-sync helper. On POSIX systems, sync and close filepath.Dir(targetPath) after a successful rename, and return any error. Do not call POSIX directory sync unconditionally because Windows is also a supported build target.
