Conversation
Add a two-layer handle leak detection system for the Electron SDK:
**Layer 1: C++ audit table (native/addon.cpp)**
- HandleCategory enum + HandleAuditEntry struct recorded at every load/destroy site (20 insertion points)
- handleAudit() NAPI export returns {id, category, model} snapshot of live handles
- Shutdown() reports leaked handles when RAC_HANDLE_AUDIT=warn or debug
- Zero overhead by default: static flag evaluated once at module init
**Layer 2: TypeScript cross-reference (src/api/handle-audit.ts)**
- HandleAuditor class queries native addon and compares against NativeBackend.slots
- Detects handles loaded outside the normal load path (direct C++ calls, crashed renderers)
- Periodic delta logging in debug mode (+N / -M every 5 seconds)
**Integration:**
- RAC_HANDLE_AUDIT env var: off (default), warn, or debug
- HandleAuditor auto-starts in NativeBackend constructor when env is set
- Documentation added to docs/DEVELOPMENT.md
Clean up unnecessary files from bindings/electron/:
- Remove CLAUDE.md symlink (duplicate of AGENTS.md) and recreate as proper symlink
- Remove scripts/a6-thin-e2e.mjs, scripts/manual-resolve.ts, scripts/package-sdk.sh (unused)
- Remove test/unit/finish-reason.test.js (covered by existing tests)
- Remove native/test_*.ts smoke tests (manual-only, no CI coverage)
- Remove example/ directory (not shipped with npm package)
- Remove tsconfig.native.json and related build scripts

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded optional ChangesHandle audit implementation
Electron example and smoke-test removal
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new shutdown auditing can falsely report normal handles as leaks, while asynchronous handle creation can race with shutdown and cause runtime teardown during active work or publish handles after state has been cleared. This creates concrete crash and cleanup risk, so the PR is not merge-ready until lifecycle coordination and shutdown auditing are corrected. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@bindings/electron/docs/DEVELOPMENT.md`:
- Around line 347-351: Update the feature-test command in the lifecycle testing
documentation to replace the literal RUNANYWHERE_NATIVE_PATH value "./build/..."
with a valid repository-relative addon path, or explicitly mark it as a
placeholder that readers must replace before running the command.
- Around line 357-358: Update the audit-table overhead description near
HandleAuditEntry to remove the fixed “~8 bytes” estimate, or qualify it with the
target toolchains and measurement method; describe model_source allocation as
dependent on string length and small-string optimization.
In `@bindings/electron/native/addon.cpp`:
- Around line 2758-2789: Update the shutdown audit block to report every
remaining entry in g_audit as a leak, removing the native handle-map membership
checks that exclude active entries. After logging the leaks, clear g_audit
alongside the other handle state so stale entries cannot persist into a
subsequent shutdown.
- Around line 181-199: Replace the handwritten HandleCategory values and
HandleCategoryName mapping in bindings/electron/native/addon.cpp:181-199 with
the generated category type or typealias. Update
bindings/electron/src/api/handle-audit.ts:8-12 to consume the shared generated
audit-entry and category types, and update
bindings/electron/src/bridge.ts:447-448 to return that same structured type
instead of an anonymous object with category: string.
- Around line 208-212: Restrict RAC_HANDLE_AUDIT handling to the documented
modes: update g_audit_enabled in the native addon to enable tracking only for
“warn” or “debug”, and update the native-backend HandleAuditor construction to
use the same recognized-active-mode check; treat “off”, unset, and invalid
values as disabled in both locations. Apply changes at
bindings/electron/native/addon.cpp lines 208-212 and
bindings/electron/src/api/native-backend.ts lines 149-151.
Apply the same fix in `@bindings/electron/docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` around lines 313 -
330: The documentation must describe the same warn/debug-only behavior.
In `@bindings/electron/src/api/native-backend.ts`:
- Around line 146-152: Update the auditor lifecycle in the constructor and
shutdown path: after successfully creating the HandleAuditor for enabled
RAC_HANDLE_AUDIT modes, call start() so periodic auditing runs; in report(),
invoke getLeaks(getKnownHandleSet()) before clearing backend handle state, while
preserving the existing ID-delta logging.
