Stacked on #518 (interpreter resolution for #288); merge that first. Part of #162: for headless execution to be a first-class feature, the runtime has to fail loudly, fail fast, and be tested against the real toolkit.

Warm server pooling for the MCP is deliberately not in this PR. It lands as a follow-up stacked on this one (#520), with real concurrency and crash-recovery tests, so the reliability work here can be reviewed and merged on its own.

Problems

Read against the runtime as it stands on main:

  1. Nothing in CI starts the toolkit. The "CLI E2E" job runs --version and --help; every engine and kernel test mocks the Jupyter client. A toolkit release or a @jupyterlab/services bump can break deepnote run with all checks green.
  2. A dead server hangs the run. If the Jupyter server dies mid-run, the websocket drops and the Jupyter client retries with backoff for about two minutes without ever marking the kernel dead; the in-flight execution waits forever. The server starter only watches for process exit during startup.
  3. A failed start delays exit by two minutes. When python -m deepnote_toolkit server exits immediately (toolkit not installed), the startup race rejects at once, but the health-check loop is never cancelled and keeps polling until the 120 s startup timeout. The CLI has already printed its error and sits there. Measured at 2:00 before, 0.3 s after.
  4. Every start failure says "install deepnote-toolkit". The CLI appends that hint to any engine.start() error, including port conflicts, timeouts and bad --python paths. Machine output has no failure category, and exit code 1 covers infra failures and user code alike.
  5. Interpreter fallback ignores a project .venv. feat: use the interpreter selected in the Deepnote extension when no Python is given (#288) #518 adds the extension sidecar and DEEPNOTE_PYTHON; a .venv next to the notebook was still ignored in favour of bare python.
  6. Timeouts are constants (30 s kernel idle, 120 s server start) and server logs are dropped unless the process dies during startup.
  7. Stopping the server can leak Jupyter. stopServer SIGKILLs the toolkit supervisor two seconds after SIGTERM. The supervisor terminates each child and waits up to five seconds for it, so under load it is still shutting Jupyter down when it is killed, and the Jupyter server, language server and kernel are orphaned. Found while adding a leaked-process check to the integration tests; it reproduced twice in full runs and never in isolation.

Changes

Typed failures (@deepnote/runtime-core). New RuntimeError family with a closed category: server-launch, kernel-launch, kernel-died, server-exited, execution-timeout, plus in-block for the block's own code. Errors carry an optional hint. startServer names the real cause (toolkit missing for that interpreter, a missing server dependency, process exit with stderr tail, health-check timeout). BlockExecutionResult and ExecutionSummary gain failureCategory.

No more hangs. ServerInfo.exited settles when the process ends; the engine fails the in-flight execution with ServerExitedError when that happens mid-run, through a removable process listener it detaches on stop. The kernel client fails in-flight executions with KernelDiedError on dead/autorestarting status (and translates the client's opaque "Canceled future" rejection), and runs a connection watchdog: a dropped websocket that is not back within 10 s is probed; a dead server or missing kernel fails immediately, a server that still answers gets exactly one more grace period. After a fatal error every later execute() rejects immediately, and a client can connect() again from a clean slate. Integration tests measure a dead kernel reported in ~8 s and a killed Jupyter server in ~14 s.

Fast startup failure. The health-check loop is abortable and is aborted when startup fails, and every health request is bounded by the time left in the startup timeout, so a server that accepts the connection but never answers cannot stall past --startup-timeout. Kernel disposal detaches the kernel's Lumino listeners when the connection is down, because @jupyterlab/services awaits its post-restart reconnect() without handling rejection; disposing mid-reconnect otherwise surfaces an unhandled rejection. Adds @lumino/signaling as a direct dependency (already in the tree).

No more orphaned servers. The toolkit supervisor starts Jupyter and the language server in their own sessions, so nothing but its explicit cleanup ever reaches them. startServer records those child pids once the server is ready, and stopServer waits up to 10 s for the supervisor to finish its own cleanup, kills the children before force-killing a supervisor that ignores SIGTERM (also on a failed startup), and afterwards terminates any recorded child that outlived the supervisor. Every integration test file checks after each test that no toolkit, Jupyter, language-server or kernel process from the interpreter's environment was left behind, and prints the toolkit server's log when one is.

Configurable timeouts and logs. RuntimeConfig gains serverStartupTimeoutMs, kernelStartupTimeoutMs, blockTimeoutMs and onServerLog. A block that exceeds the block timeout is interrupted and the run fails with execution-timeout. CLI: --startup-timeout <seconds> (applied to server and kernel) and --block-timeout <seconds>; deepnote --debug run streams the toolkit server log as [server stdout]/[server stderr].

CLI reporting. The blanket install hint is gone; Failed to start server: <cause> is followed by the runtime's hint (and the interpreter hint from #518 when only a bare python was available). -o json/-o toon add failureCategory on the run and on the failed block, and hint; a startup failure emits { success: false, error, failureCategory, hint }. Exit codes are unchanged.

MCP reporting. deepnote_run responses now report success: false when a block failed (previously hardcoded true), plus failureCategory and hint; a runtime that cannot start returns a structured error with the same fields. Each call still starts and stops its own server; reuse is the follow-up PR.

Interpreter resolution. resolveProjectPython gains a tier between the IDE sidecar and the system default: a .venv/venv found from the notebook's directory upward whose interpreter can import deepnote_toolkit. A venv without the toolkit is skipped with a warning, so an unrelated project venv never shadows a working system Python (source: venv).

Integration tests in CI. *.integration.test.ts files are excluded from pnpm test and run by pnpm test:integration (vitest.integration.config.ts). New job "Runtime Integration (deepnote-toolkit)" installs Python 3.12 + deepnote-toolkit[server], builds, and runs them with DEEPNOTE_PYTHON set. Eleven tests against the real server: engine success/in-block/kernel-died/server-exited/block-timeout/missing-toolkit, the built CLI for success/in-block/--block-timeout/missing toolkit (asserting the fast exit), and the pre-existing local-runner test, which now runs instead of skipping. A leak guard keyed on the interpreter's sys.prefix flags any process a test left behind.

Tests

  • Unit: the full suite passes; new coverage for the server starter (exit tracking, abort, cause detection, log forwarding, child cleanup), kernel client (typed failures, timeout + interrupt, watchdog with bounded retry, reconnect after failure, listener detachment), engine (categories, server exit, listener detachment), the venv tier, the CLI (hints, timeouts, debug logs, JSON fields) and the MCP (structured failures, engine lifecycle).
  • Integration: 11 tests pass locally against deepnote-toolkit 2.6.0 (pnpm test:integration, ~65 s) and in the new CI job, with no leaked processes.
  • pnpm typecheck, pnpm lintAndFormat, pnpm spell-check clean.

Not in this PR: warm server pooling for the MCP (follow-up); --kernel / non-Python kernels (see #154, #162); .venv discovery does not consult pyproject.toml; and if the toolkit supervisor itself is SIGKILLed (for example by the OOM killer) its already-orphaned children are cleaned up only when stopServer runs, which is only fully fixable on the toolkit side (a process group or PR_SET_PDEATHSIG for its children).

…when no Python is given

Closes the gap in #288: the VS Code / Cursor extension already records the venv it
created for each project in `.vscode/deepnote.json` (or `.cursor/`, `.antigravity/`),
but nothing in the CLI or MCP server read it, so `deepnote_run` fell back to a bare
`python` without deepnote-toolkit and failed.

- runtime-core: add `resolveProjectPython` with the precedence explicit arg ->
  `DEEPNOTE_PYTHON` -> extension sidecar matched on `project.id` -> system default.
  Sidecars are searched from the notebook's directory upward; stale mappings are
  skipped with a warning; a hint is returned when only a bare system Python was left.
- cli: `run`, `analyze`, `lint`, and `dag` go through the shared resolver. `run`
  prints which interpreter it picked and appends the hint to a server start failure.
- mcp: `deepnote_run` (project, notebook, block, and dry runs) uses the resolver,
  also searching `DEEPNOTE_WORKSPACE`, and reports `python: { path, source, ... }`.
- docs: skill and MCP README describe the resolution order; fix the Antigravity
  folder name (`.antigravity/`, not `.agent/`).

…n, warm servers, and real toolkit integration tests

The runtime now fails loudly and fast instead of hanging or guessing:

- Typed RuntimeError family with a closed failureCategory (server-launch,
  kernel-launch, kernel-died, server-exited, execution-timeout, in-block)
  and optional hints, surfaced on block results, run summaries, CLI JSON
  output, and MCP responses. The blanket "install deepnote-toolkit" hint is
  replaced by the actual cause.
- A kernel that dies or is restarted, a Jupyter server that goes away
  mid-run, and a toolkit server process that exits all fail the in-flight
  execution within seconds via status handling, a connection watchdog, and
  exit tracking; a failed startup no longer keeps polling the dead server
  until the 120 s startup timeout.
- Configurable server/kernel startup timeouts and a per-block timeout
  (--startup-timeout, --block-timeout); --debug streams the toolkit
  server log.
- stopServer gives the supervisor 10 s to clean up, records its children
  at startup, and terminates any child that outlives it, so Jupyter and the
  language server are never orphaned.
- ServerPool keeps toolkit servers warm for the MCP (fresh kernel per call,
  DEEPNOTE_MCP_SERVER_IDLE_SECONDS), with shutdown hooks; MCP responses
  report success=false when a block failed.
- resolveProjectPython gains a .venv/venv tier that requires deepnote-toolkit
  to be importable.
- *.integration.test.ts files run against the real toolkit via
  pnpm test:integration and a new CI job, with leaked-process checks.

Part of #162.

Walkthrough

The runtime now owns server lifecycle and reports typed server, kernel, and execution failures. It supports startup and block timeouts, server-log forwarding, kernel interruption, reconnection handling, and runtime hints. Python resolution discovers compatible nearby virtual environments. CLI and MCP outputs include failure categories and remediation hints. Dedicated integration configurations, CI execution, leak guards, and real-server tests cover these behaviors.

29-31: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Leak detection is a no-op for the default interpreter.

integrationPython() returns python3 when DEEPNOTE_PYTHON is unset. python3 contains no /bin/, so venvDir is null and this function returns []. Every assertNoLeakedToolkitProcesses call then passes without checking anything. That is the default path for local runs, so the process-leak coverage only works in CI.

Resolve the interpreter prefix with the interpreter itself instead of parsing the string.

♻️ Resolve the prefix from the interpreter
 export function leakedToolkitProcesses(python: string): string[] {
-  const venvDir = python.includes('/bin/') ? python.slice(0, python.lastIndexOf('/bin/')) : null
-  if (!venvDir) return []
+  let venvDir: string
+  try {
+    venvDir = execFileSync(python, ['-c', 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)'], {

- Watch a pooled server for exit with a removable process listener instead of a permanent promise handler, so engines attached to a warm server do not accumulate; expose the stderr tail on ServerInfo for the exit message.
- Reset fatal state when a kernel client reconnects after a failure.
- Give a dropped connection one more grace period when the server still answers and the kernel exists, since the Jupyter client may be mid-backoff.
- Signal recorded children before the supervisor in ServerPool.killAll and on startup failure, so a force-killed supervisor cannot orphan Jupyter or the language server.
- Detect leaked toolkit processes by the interpreter prefix (sys.prefix) with a baseline snapshot, so the check also works for a bare python3 and ignores pre-existing servers.

@coderabbitai the leak-check nitpick from the review body is addressed in 6fd96d2: the integration guard now resolves the interpreter's sys.prefix (so a bare python3 is covered) and snapshots pre-existing processes at startup so only processes a test started are flagged.

161-161: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Recheck process exit after child-process discovery.

The server can exit after waitForServer succeeds and before this await completes. startServer then returns a terminated process. watchServerExit in packages/runtime-core/src/execution-engine.ts attaches too late and misses the exit event.

After the await, check serverProcess.exitCode and serverProcess.signalCode. Throw describeStartupExit(pythonPath, …) when either indicates termination.

@jamesbhobbs Thanks. The updated guard covers bare python3 through sys.prefix and excludes baseline processes from leak detection.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Keep this PR to the runtime hardening: typed failures, fail-fast shutdown, timeouts, child cleanup, the .venv tier, CLI and MCP failure reporting, and the real-toolkit integration tests. The ServerPool, the engine option to attach to an existing server, and the MCP lifecycle hooks move to a stacked PR with concurrency and crash-recovery tests. The engine exposes serverPid so the Jupyter-crash integration test no longer needs an external server.

…g timeout

A server that accepts the connection but never answers left fetch() pending, and the startup timeout was only checked between requests, so --startup-timeout could be exceeded by a wide margin. Each request now carries its own deadline derived from the time left, and the wait fails with server-launch on schedule.

323-323: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not sleep past the startup deadline.

After a fetch reaches its deadline, Line 323 waits another 200 ms before the loop checks the timeout again. startServer({ startupTimeoutMs: 1000 }) can therefore fail about 200 ms late.

Break when no time remains, or cap the sleep to the remaining time.

Proposed fix
-    await sleep(HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS, signal)
+    const remainingMs = timeoutMs - (Date.now() - startTime)
+    if (remainingMs <= 0) break
+    await sleep(Math.min(HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS, remainingMs), signal)

@coderabbitai the three outside-diff notes are addressed in 85e7d6b:

  • server-starter.ts startup: after listing the supervisor children, a server that exited meanwhile is reported as a server-launch failure (its children are killed) instead of being handed out. Test: a supervisor that dies during the pgrep lookup.
  • server-starter.ts health-check loop: it no longer sleeps past the remaining startup budget, so a request that ran out the clock fails exactly at the deadline. The existing timeout test now asserts that.
  • SKILL.md: the sentence now states the full run-time order (--python/pythonPath, DEEPNOTE_PYTHON, IDE environment, .venv/venv with the toolkit, system Python) and separates it from the CLI installation checklist above it. Homebrew and the >= 3.9 check belong to that installation checklist, not to how a run picks its interpreter, so they are not part of the run-time order.

Learning: For Deepnote CLI runtime interpreter resolution, use this order: explicit `--python` or `pythonPath`; `DEEPNOTE_PYTHON`; IDE environment; a `.venv` or `venv` that contains `deepnote-toolkit`; then system Python. Homebrew installation and the Python `>= 3.9` requirement are installation-checklist requirements, not interpreter-resolution steps.

…when no Python is given

Closes the gap in #288: the VS Code / Cursor extension already records the venv it
created for each project in `.vscode/deepnote.json` (or `.cursor/`, `.antigravity/`),
but nothing in the CLI or MCP server read it, so `deepnote_run` fell back to a bare
`python` without deepnote-toolkit and failed.

- runtime-core: add `resolveProjectPython` with the precedence explicit arg ->
  `DEEPNOTE_PYTHON` -> extension sidecar matched on `project.id` -> system default.
  Sidecars are searched from the notebook's directory upward; stale mappings are
  skipped with a warning; a hint is returned when only a bare system Python was left.
- cli: `run`, `analyze`, `lint`, and `dag` go through the shared resolver. `run`
  prints which interpreter it picked and appends the hint to a server start failure.
- mcp: `deepnote_run` (project, notebook, block, and dry runs) uses the resolver,
  also searching `DEEPNOTE_WORKSPACE`, and reports `python: { path, source, ... }`.
- docs: skill and MCP README describe the resolution order; fix the Antigravity
  folder name (`.antigravity/`, not `.agent/`).

This was an omission, not an intentional exception. Fixed in 60dc951: agent blocks now have a deadline covering the model/tool loop, with generated Python sharing the remaining time. Expiry aborts the agent and reports execution-timeout; docs explain that cancellation waits for in-flight tool cleanup. Follow-up 6d2c570 preserves fatal runtime errors from generated code. Regression tests and all pre-push checks pass. Please re-review and resolve if addressed.
