Problem
headerTimesStreamer.Stop()closedtimesChbut leftstreamingset totrue.Scan()checksstreamingand, when true, sends a timestamp intotimesCh. IfScan()runs afterStop()closes the channel, it can panic with:send on closed channelRelevant code:
agent/header_times_streamer.go(Stop)agent/header_times_streamer.go(Scan)Impact
This is a runtime crash risk in job execution cleanup.
In practice, log-processing goroutines can still call
Scan()while cleanup is in progress. If that races withStop(), the agent process can panic instead of finishing job teardown cleanly.Potential user-visible effects:
Reproduction
Added a regression test that exercises the real lifecycle:
Run()Stop()Scan("--- a header")Before this fix, the test fails with panic (
send on closed channel).Fix
Set
streaming = falseunderstreamingMubefore closingtimesCh.This preserves the existing send/close synchronisation while ensuring post-stop
Scan()calls do not attempt channel sends.Testing
