GUI v0.1.39 main process crashes: unhandled 'write EOF' at node:internal/stream_base_commons during long, output-heavy turns — Electron app restarts (Windows) #925

Description

@sudarshankl26-cpu

Summary

Trigger: long agent turns with heavy streamed output (e.g. a 135 KB file read).
Crashes within minutes, every time the turn is output-heavy.

main.log signature (%APPDATA%\Command Code\logs\main.log):
[error] [uncaughtException] Error: write EOF
at WriteWrap.onWriteComplete (node:internal/stream_base_commons:87:19)
[info] [send] turn resolved {... "stopReason":"interrupted"}
then the Electron app relaunches (no shutdown lines — hard kill).

In one log: 36 x "write EOF", 18 x uncaughtException, 34 app starts —
every error sits between "agent state: running" and an interrupted turn.
No GPU/renderer/OOM errors. Looks like an unhandled stream error event
takes down the Electron main process.

Environment: Windows · GUI v0.1.39 (packaged) · CLI reports 1.63.0.

main.log

Expected Behavior

Command Code should complete a long, output-heavy agent turn without terminating. A stream write error must be caught and handled (the app
survives it and the turn either finishes or fails gracefully with an error in the UI).

Actual Behavior

During a long turn the Electron main process hits an unhandled stream
error and the GUI dies, then restarts — mid-turn, with no shutdown lines
in the log.

Log signature (%APPDATA%\Command Code\logs\main.log), repeated on every
occurrence:

[info] [renderer] [queue] send: starting turn {...}
[info] [renderer] [queue] agent state: running {...}
... minutes pass ...
[error] [unhandled] Error: write EOF
at WriteWrap.onWriteComplete (node:internal/stream_base_commons:87:19)
[error] [uncaughtException] Error: write EOF
[info] [send] turn resolved {... "stopReason":"interrupted"}
[info] Command Code starting — v0.1.39 <- relaunch after the kill

Repro is reliable: any turn that streams a large volume (e.g. reading a
~135 KB source file into the agent) crashes within minutes. In one log
file there are 36 "write EOF" entries and 18 uncaughtExceptions across
34 app starts; there are no GPU/renderer/OOM/other error types.

My read: a write stream has no error listener; when its read end closes
mid-write, Node raises "write EOF" as an uncaughtException and the main
process is killed.

Environment: Windows · GUI v0.1.39 (packaged) · CLI reports version
1.63.0 (version mismatch may be relevant).

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Start Command Code GUI on Windows (v0.1.39, packaged build).
  2. Open a new conversation in any project.
  3. Ask the agent to work on a large single file so its response streams a
    large volume back — e.g. with a ~135 KB source file in the project:
    "continue refining your wireframe" (any request that makes the agent
    do full-file reads / emit large tool output works).
  4. Wait while the turn runs (no interaction needed).

Result: after a few minutes the Command Code window abruptly disappears
and relaunches. The turn is killed as "stopReason: interrupted" and no
error dialog or exit handler is shown to the user.

Frequency: reproducible on every attempt for output-heavy turns. Shorter
turns (e.g. a 39-character prompt, quick question) usually complete fine
— the crash correlates with long-running, high-volume streaming turns.
