Pi currently calls the synchronous Node FileFinder.destroy() from session_shutdown. On macOS with released 0.11.0, I observed intermittent 2.7–6.7s exits; an out-of-process sample captured the main thread inside fff_destroy → FSEventStreamStop / pthread_cond_wait.

This adds FileFinder.destroyAsync() using ffi-rs runInNewThread, and awaits it from Pi shutdown. The existing synchronous API remains available.

• The Node finder becomes unavailable immediately, stops JS watch delivery, shares one in-flight Promise, and retains the native callback trampoline until fff_destroy completes. Unsubscribing during cleanup remains safe.
• Pi waits for pending main/auxiliary finder creation, prevents new acquisitions from a closing auxiliary pool, and waits for every cleanup before reporting failures.
• Bun and older SDKs retain the synchronous fallback. The UI teardown ordering from fix(pi-fff): use session_shutdown ctx and free finders before UI teardown (#948) #949 is preserved.

Validation

• Node SDK build/typecheck and 44 native tests, including ESM/CJS async completion, active watches, unsubscribe during shutdown, natural process exit, and reopening persisted query history.
• 132 Pi extension tests, Pi typecheck, make sync-js-api-check, formatting, lint, and git diff --check.
• A negative control changing only runInNewThread back to false fails both new async regression cases. These assertions use event-loop/microtask behavior rather than an elapsed-time threshold.
• Fresh Pi 1.5.0 processes loading this checkout, with real extensions/MCP and a populated picker confirmed through /fff-health, exited in 118/128ms, restoring terminal flags. No NODE_OPTIONS or module-loader hooks were used.

Evidence limits

The original multi-second observations were with released 0.11.0. Untouched main controls also exited quickly here (116–138ms), so this is an intermittent-stall report, not a claim that every current-main shutdown is slow or that these fast runs establish a current-main speedup.

Native tests used the checksum-verified official 0.11.1-nightly.5d21e4b C library matching the main baseline. Rust was not rebuilt locally. The same native teardown and database close are awaited to completion.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added asynchronous cleanup for file finders. A finder becomes unavailable immediately, while the returned promise resolves after cleanup is complete. Synchronous cleanup remains available.
  • Application shutdown now waits for finder cleanup to finish, including when finder setup is still in progress.
  • Finder pools now support asynchronous cleanup and prevent new acquisitions once shutdown begins. Cleanup waits for pending finder creation to settle.

Walkthrough

The change adds asynchronous destruction to node finders and integrates awaited cleanup into pi-fff shutdown. It handles pending auxiliary-finder creation. Tests cover finder lifecycle and session shutdown.

Changes: Finder shutdown

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Node finder asynchronous destruction packages/fff-node/src/ffi.ts, packages/fff-node/src/finder.ts, packages/fff-node/README.md, packages/fff-node/test/watch.mjs	FileFinder.destroyAsync() clears finder and watch state, awaits native destruction, and cleans up watch callbacks. The Quick Start and ESM/CommonJS tests cover the lifecycle.
Picker and auxiliary-pool cleanup packages/pi-fff/src/file-picker.ts, packages/pi-fff/src/aux-finders.ts, packages/pi-fff/test/destroy.test.ts	destroyPickers prefers asynchronous disposal and aggregates failures. AuxFinderPool.destroyAsync() waits for pending creations, shares its shutdown promise, and rejects acquisitions after shutdown starts.
Session shutdown integration packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts, packages/pi-fff/test/extension.test.ts	Session shutdown awaits finder initialization and cleanup before clearing uiCtx. Tests cover both waits.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: finder teardown is awaited off the event loop during Pi shutdown. The changeset adds FileFinder.destroyAsync(), a native async destroy in ffi.ts that runs on a worker thread, and awaits cleanup in the Pi shutdown path. The title fits the primary change. The fix(node) prefix matches the Node package scope, while the Pi extension changes are also part of the work and are covered by the 'Pi shutdown' wording.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 75.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 8 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Wait for a macrotask before checking settlement.

A Promise.all implementation that wraps the rejection in an AggregateError can pass this test even though it does not wait for the pending cleanup.

Suggested fix

-    await Promise.resolve();
+    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 0));
     expect(settled).toBe(false);
