The port installed handlers for SIGHUP and SIGTERM only, so SIGINT and
SIGQUIT killed the process with tcell still holding the tty and dropped
the user into a shell with no echo and a scrambled screen. All four
signals now go to one os/signal channel read by one goroutine, and every
path calls Terminal.Fini before os.Exit(0) -- C's leave(), "leave
quickly but curteously" (main.c).
The handlers are installed immediately after term.New(), the call that
raises raw mode, rather than after the game exists. Everything between
those two points ran raw with no handler at all: the save-restore path,
and -d's DeathDemo(), which never returns -- death() blocks in
waitFor('\n') (game/rip.go) -- so a kill -INT during the death demo left
exactly the scrambled terminal this fixes. The game is handed to the
handler afterwards through pendingSaver, whose AutoSave is a no-op until
then: a signal before the game is built restores the terminal and exits
with nothing to save. SIGHUP/SIGTERM autosave on the play path is
unchanged.
The save decision, written into the savesOnSignal comment: SIGHUP and
SIGTERM keep autosaving; SIGINT and SIGQUIT restore and exit without
saving. No path in C saves on INT or QUIT (leave() is endwin-and-exit,
quit() confirms/scores/exits, endit() goes through fatal(), and
save.c auto_save is reserved for HUP/TERM), the semantics agree
(involuntary teardown is worth rescuing a game from; a deliberate "stop
now" must not become a one-keystroke checkpoint against an anti-save-scum
save discipline), and it is the safe choice, since AutoSave gob-encodes
live state the main goroutine is still mutating after removing the old
file.
One reader of one signal is also what closes the corruption window: a
second signal arriving while a SIGHUP's AutoSave is mid-write stays
unread in the buffer instead of exiting out from under the writer.
cmd/rogue/main_test.go pins the membership of handledSignals() itself --
the rest of the file iterates that set, so without that assertion the
suite would pass against a set that had lost SIGINT and SIGQUIT again,
which is the regression this issue exists to prevent -- and covers the
ordering per signal, the save/no-save split (driven from the expectation
table so every entry is read), the mid-save second-signal interleaving,
the pre-game pendingSaver window, and real SIGINT/SIGQUIT/SIGHUP/SIGTERM
delivered to the test process through the same notifySignals wiring the
game uses.
Two premises behind the report were wrong and are recorded rather than
silently fixed: leave() is not installed on SIGINT/SIGQUIT during play
(the wiring is in mdport.c; the shipped build calls md_onsignal_default
and installs nothing, and leave() appears only in the endgame paths of
rip.c and main.c), and Ctrl-C never generated SIGINT here anyway, since
tcell's raw mode clears ISIG and the key arrives as byte 0x03 -- as it
did in C, whose setup() calls curses raw(). The real exposure is
kill -INT / kill -QUIT, a SIGINT to the process group while the ! shell
escape has the screen suspended, and the window after term.New()
described above. Nothing is raw before term.New(), so there was never
anything to cover there.
ARCHITECTURE.md section 9 gains rows for SIGTSTP/tstp() (deliberately
dropped: raw mode means Ctrl-Z cannot reach the process, suspending the
screen from the signal goroutine is a logical race against the drawing
goroutine -- not a data race, since tcell guards Suspend/Resume and Fini
alike -- and C armed tstp only after a successful restore(); the ! shell
escape covers the need), for SIGINT not routing to the interactive
quit() prompt, and for auto_save on the fault signals. Section 5.3's
claim that tcell handles SIGTSTP was false -- tcell registers only
SIGWINCH -- and is corrected, and its "every path restores the terminal"
claim now holds because of the install ordering above.
Replace .golangci.yml with the shared canonical config. The old
config's top-level linters-settings block was silently ignored under
the v2 schema, so the lll/funlen/cyclop/dupl thresholds now actually
apply. The four repo-specific disables (mnd, exhaustive, paralleltest,
testpackage) move out of the config into targeted in-code nolint
directives carrying their original approval dates, keeping the config
byte-identical to the canonical one.
Fixes surfaced by the stricter settings: t.Parallel() added to all 32
tests, 24 overlong lines wrapped or their comments tightened, tcell
control-code returns rewritten as character literals, dupl markers on
the identically-shaped item data tables, and two wsl_v5 defer cuddles.
No behavior changes. The repo has no golangci-lint version pin (no
Dockerfile or CI; make lint runs the host binary, currently v2.12.2),
so there was nothing to bump.
One game run is one process, so game-over ends the process directly,
as the C game did with exit(). myExit now restores the terminal
(via the new Terminal.Fini) and calls os.Exit(0); the gameEnd sentinel,
the recover in Run, and the recover in DeathDemo are gone. Run() no
longer returns an error (it does not return — the game exits from
within), and playit's pre-loop setup is split into startLevel/prePlay
so tests can drive a bounded number of turns.
Because death (combat, and starvation over a long session) now exits
the process, the four Run()-to-completion tests can no longer run
through the exit path: TestDeathUnwindsWithGameEnd is removed (it
tested the deleted unwind), the crash-sweep and quit/save session
tests are dropped, and TestRunDownStairs is reworked to drive the
turn loop for a single descend. Score rendering, previously checked
after a scripted quit, is now covered directly by TestScoreRendersList.
Save/restore integrity remains covered by TestSaveRestoreRoundTrip.
NewGame(Config) becomes New(Params), and Restore takes Params too, so
the package's primary type gets the canonical New() constructor with a
named-field Params struct (styleguide points 139, 159). cmd/rogue and
all tests updated; ARCHITECTURE.md constructor references corrected.
Pure rename, suite green.
.golangci.yml is the prompts-repo standard verbatim plus one approved
exception (paralleltest, sneak 2026-07-06). Roughly 1,500 findings
fixed:
- autofix sweep (wsl_v5/nlreturn/intrange/modernize formatting), with
the misspell autofix REVERTED where it rewrote authentic C game text
("missle vanishes" stays, with nolint and a comment)
- error handling: errcheck sites get real handling — saveFile now
closes explicitly and removes corrupt saves, scoreboard writes are
documented best-effort, err113 sentinel errors (ErrSaveOutOfDate,
ErrScreenTooSmall); panics allowed for unrecoverable states per
MEMORY.md policy
- gosec: real fixes (ParseInt for SEED, 0600 scorefile) and justified
per-line nolints for provably-bounded conversions (randomMonsterLetter
helper collapses eight rnd(26)+'A' sites)
- API tidying from linters: pointer receivers on flag types
(recvcheck), msg helpers renamed addmsgf/doaddf/Printwf/MvPrintwf
(goprintffuncname), myExit()/findFloor(monst)/mkGameInput(t) drop
always-constant params (unparam), gameEnd carries no status
- gocritic/staticcheck: if-else chains to switches, the pack.c
inventory filter untangled into matchesFilter, main.go split so
defers run before exit (exitAfterDefer, funlen)
- revive doc comments on all exported flag types/consts/methods
Remaining findings are confined to linters pending sneak's exception
decision (mnd, gochecknoglobals, cyclop, nestif, gocognit, exhaustive,
goconst, testpackage); TODO.md records the state. MEMORY.md added at
repo root as the project's agent working notes.
go.mod, term/ and cmd/ imports, the ARCHITECTURE.md module references,
and the in-game version string. User request; the repo already lives
at this remote.
- command.c in full: the command dispatcher with repeat counts, run
prefixes, ctrl-run door-stop mode, fight-to-death targeting, and all
wizard debug commands; search, help, identify, d_level/u_level, call,
current
- main.c completed: Run()/playit() with the C double ROGUEOPTS parse;
exit()-anywhere becomes a gameEnd panic recovered in Run
- save.c + state.c: gob SaveState snapshot with explicit pointer-to-
index fixups for equipment, monster rooms, and chase targets (the
rs_fix_thing role); save file deleted on restore as in C; SIGHUP/
SIGTERM autosave hook
- wizard.c completed (create_obj, show_map), passages.c add_pass
- term/: tcell/v2 Terminal — the one third-party dependency — replacing
curses and mdport's 900-line key decoder; shell escape via suspend
- cmd/rogue: flags -s/-d, SEED (wizard), ROGUEOPTS, ROGUE_WIZARD
Tests: full scripted sessions through Run (quit, descend stairs,
3200-move crash sweep, save-command round trip). Notable fixes found
by tests: gob silently drops embedded fields of unexported types, and
--More-- prompts swallow space-free input scripts.
