feat(pi-tools): gated tgrep trigram-index search tool - #18
Conversation
Registers a mode-independent tgrep tool only when the binary resolves (TGREP_BIN, tgrepBinPath, or PATH) and enableTgrep is not false. Literal-by-default, vimgrep rows, exit 1 as no-match, stderr freshness warning surfaced, index-unsafe flags excluded. Adds /tgrep-status, schema keys, compat/README/CHANGELOG docs and 26 tests.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds optional Changestgrep integration
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Very broad tgrep searches can fail instead of returning capped results, and users may be misled when configuring the binary.

Update the tgrepBinPath schema description. fffExtension passes TGREP_BIN before config.tgrepBinPath, so TGREP_BIN wins whenever it is set. This matches the documented precedence but contradicts the schema description. State that TGREP_BIN overrides tgrepBinPath, or change the resolver if the schema precedence is intended.

Node.js child_process execFile maxBuffer exceeded error code ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER stdout partial
💡 Result:
The error ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER occurs in Node.js when a child process spawned via exec or execFile produces more data on stdout or stderr than the allocated memory buffer can hold [1][2][3]. By default, Node.js limits this buffer to 1 MB (1,048,576 bytes) to protect the parent process from memory exhaustion [1][2][3]. When this limit is exceeded, Node.js terminates the child process and returns this specific RangeError [1][4][3]. To resolve this, you have two primary options based on your specific requirements: 1. Increase the maxBuffer limit (for predictable, manageable output): If the command's output is known to be larger than 1 MB but still fits comfortably in memory, you can increase the limit by passing a larger value to the maxBuffer option [2][3]. Example: const { execFile } = require('child_process'); execFile('your-executable', ['args'], { maxBuffer: 1024 * 1024 * 5 }, (error, stdout, stderr) => { if (error) { console.error('Execution error:', error); return; } console.log('Output:', stdout); }); Note: Use this cautiously, as setting an excessively high limit can lead to Out of Memory (OOM) crashes in the parent process because Node.js must buffer the entire output as a string (which uses UTF-16 encoding, effectively doubling memory usage) [3]. 2. Switch to child_process.spawn (for large or streaming output): For commands that produce massive, unknown, or continuous amounts of output, do not use exec or execFile [2][3]. Instead, use child_process.spawn, which streams the output incrementally, avoiding the need to buffer it all at once [2][5][6]. Example: const { spawn } = require('child_process'); const child = spawn('your-executable', ['args']); child.stdout.on('data', (data) => { console.log(Received chunk: ${data}); }); child.stderr.on('data', (data) => { console.error(Received error chunk: ${data}); }); child.on('close', (code) => { console.log(Child process exited with code ${code}); }); Using spawn is the recommended best practice for most scenarios involving significant output [2][7].

site:nodejs.org/api/child_process.html execFile maxBuffer ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER promisify stdout stderr
💡 Result:
In Node.js, the maxBuffer option defines the largest amount of data (in bytes) allowed on stdout or stderr when using child_process methods like execFile [1][2]. The default value is 1024 * 1024 bytes (1 MB) [1][2]. If this limit is exceeded, the child process is terminated, and any output is truncated [1][2]. When using the promisified version of execFile (via util.promisify), a maxBuffer violation results in a rejected promise [1][2]. The resulting error object includes stdout and stderr properties, allowing you to access the truncated output that was captured before the process was terminated [1][2]. Additionally, the ChildProcess instance itself is attached to the rejected error object under the property name child [1][2]. To handle this, you can wrap your call in a try-catch block: const util = require('util'); const execFile = util.promisify(require('child_process').execFile); async function run { try { const { stdout, stderr } = await execFile('my-command', ['arg'], { maxBuffer: 2 * 1024 * 1024 }); // Example: increasing buffer to 2MB console.log(stdout); } catch (error) { if (error.code === 'ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER' || error.message.includes('maxBuffer')) { console.error('Buffer limit exceeded'); // Access truncated output console.error('Partial stdout:', error.stdout); } throw error; } } If you expect large outputs, consider increasing the maxBuffer value in the options object passed to execFile [1][2]. However, if the output size is unpredictable or very large, it is generally recommended to use spawn instead of exec or execFile, as spawn streams the data rather than buffering it entirely in memory.

Handle maxBuffer overflow as truncatable output.
execFileAsync rejects with code === "ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER" and includes partial stdout. The current numeric-code check misses this rejection and throws before formatTgrepResult can apply its truncation hint.
🐛 Proposed fix: treat a maxBuffer overflow as truncatable output
} catch (error: unknown) {
const execError = error as {
- code?: number;
+ code?: number | string;
stdout?: string;
stderr?: string;
message?: string;
};
+ // maxBuffer overflow kills the child; keep the partial output so it can be truncated.
+ if (execError.code === "ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER")
+ return { exit: 0, stdout: execError.stdout ?? "", stderr: execError.stderr ?? "" };
