A client that sends a command and resets the connection right after can stop AMCP from accepting connections. The server keeps running, but every new client times out.

On macOS remote_endpoint() fails with EINVAL once the peer has reset, and connection asked for it on every log line and for the OSC subscription. When it threw in handle_accept(), the exception left before start_accept(), so nothing was accepted again. Reading the address safely isn't enough on its own, because the OSC subscription then throws on "no-address" in the same place. So the remote address is now read once, when the connection is created, without throwing, and handle_accept() logs whatever goes wrong with one client and keeps accepting.

I tested it on macOS 26, built on top of wip/vulkan (AsyncEventServer.cpp is the same on master), with a small script that connects, sends VERSION and leaves in three ways: a normal close, a reset after the command, and a reset before sending anything. After each one a new client has to get 201 within 3 seconds. Without the change the server stopped answering after the second reset. With it I did 300 of each and it always answered. I haven't tried Linux or Windows.

I should say that the code was written with AI, under my direction, and tested on real Macs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Client connections now retain their remote address even after the socket closes.
  • The server continues accepting connections if client setup encounters an error.

Walkthrough

The connection stores its remote address and uses error-code endpoint lookups with fallback values. The accept handler catches and logs client setup exceptions, then proceeds to the next accept.

Changes: Connection and accept resilience

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capture connection endpoints src/protocol/util/AsyncEventServer.cpp	The constructor stores the remote address and uses error-code lookups for local and remote endpoints. It uses no-port or no-address when a lookup fails. ipv4_address() returns the stored address.
Handle accept setup exceptions src/protocol/util/AsyncEventServer.cpp	The accept handler catches and logs exceptions during client setup, then proceeds to the next accept.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 557af

A client may remain connected without its OSC subscription if setup fails. This is a bounded failure that should be addressed or accepted before merging.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% 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 1 functions across 1 files.

Resolution

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

- Around line 367-368: Update the lifecycle setup failure catch in
AsyncEventServer so it stops and unregisters the current connection, halting its
active read before the server accepts another client. Use the existing
connection teardown mechanism and preserve the current exception logging.
