DX improvement to match vite with web development. When port is in use, secondary (terminal) run will auto choose next available, avoiding run failures when unnecessary.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reliable, platform-specific Vite HMR port allocation, including conflict detection and strict-port handling.
    • Added platform-specific staging directories for Vite output.
    • Vite development sessions now receive consistent port and environment configuration.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved non-watch Vite builds by copying generated output to the native destination and reporting copy failures.
    • Standardized environment-flag handling for more predictable development behavior.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified Vite distribution directory and staging behavior.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a typed Vite HMR port service, registers it with dependency injection, allocates ports per platform, and wires resolved ports into Vite compiler and Android run flows. Vite output staging now uses platform-specific directories.

Changes

Vite HMR integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contracts, flags, and service registration
lib/contracts/..., lib/common/helpers.ts, lib/bootstrap.ts, dependency-injection.md, lib/constants.ts, test/contracts.ts
Adds ViteHmrPortService, isTruthyEnvFlag, injector registration, public exports, and updated staging documentation.
Platform HMR port allocation
lib/services/bundler/vite-hmr-port-service.ts, test/services/bundler/vite-hmr-port-service.ts
Allocates stable per-platform ports, handles conflicts and strict mode, and serializes concurrent probes.
Vite staging and child-process environment
lib/services/bundler/bundler-compiler-service.ts, test/services/bundler/bundler-compiler-service.ts
Uses platform-specific staging paths and passes resolved HMR settings to Vite build and dev-server processes.
RunController HMR wiring
lib/controllers/run-controller.ts, test/controllers/run-controller.ts
Injects the port service and resolves the Android HMR port asynchronously using shared environment-flag handling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7c707

The PR improves HMR startup by selecting an available port, but invalid NS_HMR_PORT values can still cause startup failure and a failed allocation can remain cached so retries continue failing after a port becomes available. These concrete correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Poem

A rabbit found a port to spare,
Then staged each platform with care.
HMR hopped through the build,
While strict conflicts were stilled.
Vite now blooms everywhere.

Do not cache a failed allocation.

this.ports[key] keeps the rejected promise. After a strict-port failure or port exhaustion, every later getPort call for the same platform rejects with the same stale error, even if the port becomes free. RunController.setupAndroidViteHmrReverse swallows the first failure at trace level, so the stale rejection surfaces later in BundlerCompilerService.getViteChildEnv. Clear the entry on rejection so a retry re-probes.

♻️ Proposed refactor
 	public getPort(platform: string): Promise<number> {
 		const key = platform.toLowerCase();
 		if (!this.ports[key]) {
-			this.ports[key] = this.queue.then(() => this.allocate(key));
+			const pending = this.queue.then(() => this.allocate(key));
+			this.ports[key] = pending.catch((err) => {
+				if (this.ports[key] === this.ports[key]) {
+					delete this.ports[key];
+				}
+				throw err;
+			});
 			this.queue = this.ports[key].catch((): void => undefined);
 		}
 		return this.ports[key];

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use this helper as the single flag implementation.

lib/controllers/run-controller.ts Lines 369-375 and lib/services/bundler/vite-hmr-port-service.ts Lines 369-375 still define local isTruthyEnvFlag copies. Remove those copies and import this helper instead. This keeps NS_HMR_NO_ADB_REVERSE, NS_HMR_PREFER_LAN_HOST, and NS_HMR_STRICT_PORT on one flag contract.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate NS_HMR_PORT against the upper port bound.

getPreferredPort accepts any finite value above 0. If a user sets NS_HMR_PORT=70000, the loop in allocate never runs, and the service fails with tried 70000-65535. Reject out-of-range values and fall back to the default instead.

🐛 Proposed fix
 	private getPreferredPort(): number {
 		const fromEnv = Number(process.env.NS_HMR_PORT);
-		return Number.isFinite(fromEnv) && fromEnv > 0
-			? Math.floor(fromEnv)
-			: DEFAULT_PORT;
+		const port = Math.floor(fromEnv);
+		if (Number.isFinite(fromEnv) && port > 0 && port <= MAX_PORT) {
+			return port;
+		}
+		if (process.env.NS_HMR_PORT) {
+			this.$logger.warn(
+				`Ignoring NS_HMR_PORT="${process.env.NS_HMR_PORT}": it must be a port between 1 and ${MAX_PORT}. Using ${DEFAULT_PORT}.`,
+			);
+		}
+		return DEFAULT_PORT;
