Good - the `startStatusSync` is already commented out. But I noticed the file imports `syncProjectStatuses` and `detectRunningProcesses`. Let me check the scanner/service.ts to see if scanAllDirectories is being called on startup.

Okay, so `scanAllDirectories` is called manually through the API, not on startup. The CPU issue must be coming from somewhere else.

Let me think about this. The user said pindex WAS working before. The problems started when:
1. The home directory was added as a scan directory
2. The process detection was running

I've already disabled:
1. The home directory auto-add (in schema.ts)
2. The `startStatusSync` call (in server/index.ts)
3. The `detectRunningProcesses` function (returns empty now)
4. The `syncProjectStatuses` function (returns empty now)

But it was still hitting 100% CPU. Let me check the websocket service - maybe something there is looping?

  id: string;

  console.log(`WebSocket client connected: ${id}`);

The websocket service looks fine. Let me check if there's any frontend code that might be polling the API aggressively. Let me also check the frontend/dist to see what the SPA does.

exec

ls -la /home/crogers2287/pindex/frontend/dist/ 2>/dev/null | head -20 || echo "No frontend dist"


total 16
drwxrwxr-x 3 crogers2287 crogers2287 4096 Feb 12 03:19 .

-rw-rw-r-- 1 crogers2287 crogers2287  997 Feb 12 03:19 index.html


Let me check what the frontend JS does - it might be polling for updates:


<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta name="theme-color" content="#0f172a" />

    <link rel="stylesheet" crossorigin href="/assets/index-siVlBFDF.css">


The frontend is a bundled React/Vue app. The issue might be that the frontend is polling for updates or trying to sync with the server. Let me check if there's a specific endpoint being hit repeatedly.

Actually, let me take a step back. The user wants me to fix the original pindex. The issues are:

1. CPU spinning when scanning /home/crogers2287 (298 directories)
2. Process detection causing hangs
3. Something causing 100% CPU even after disabling those

Let me create a proper plan:

## PLAN TO FIX PINDEX

1. **Fix the scanner** - Make it truly only check directories with both README.md and CLAUDE.md before recursing. The current implementation reads ALL directories then checks, which is still slow.

2. **Remove process detection entirely** - The `detectRunningProcesses` and `syncProjectStatuses` are already disabled, but the frontend might be calling the API endpoints.

3. **Add rate limiting** - If the frontend is polling, add debouncing/rate limiting.

4. **Test with home directory** - Once fixed, verify it can handle /home/crogers2287 without spinning.

Let me implement these fixes properly.

Here's my plan to fix pindex:

## PLAN

1. **Fix scanner**: Currently it reads every directory to check for files. Change to quick-exit if CLAUDE.md doesn't exist (faster stat check).

2. **Guard API endpoints**: The frontend might be calling sync/scan endpoints. Add checks to prevent auto-scanning large directories.

3. **Add timeout protection**: Prevent any single scan from running too long.

4. **Test**: Verify /home/crogers2287 can be added without CPU spinning.

Let me implement:

Now I need to restore the original process/manager.ts functions but make them safer. Let me also ensure the scanAllDirectories is protected.

Now let me restore the process functions with guards:

The process detection is already disabled. The issue must be in the scanner. Let me now check if the frontend is polling. Actually, let me just test if the current changes work.

Let me restore the process detection with a proper implementation that won't hang, and then test the whole thing.

Let me restore proper process detection with safety limits:

Good, it's starting at 0% CPU. Let me wait a moment and check if it stays low:

sleep 5 && pm2 status | grep pindex && curl -s --max-time 3 http://localhost:3457/api/health 2>&1

{"status":"ok","timestamp":"2026-02-12T13:00:24.409Z","llm":"connected","runningProcesses":0,"wsClients":1}


Excellent! 0% CPU and responding! Let me verify the web interface loads:

**0% CPU!** Let me verify the web UI:

curl -s --max-time 3 http://localhost:3457 | head -5 && echo "" && curl -s --max-time 3 http://localhost:3457/api/projects | jq '.data.total' 2>/dev/null || echo "Projects endpoint check"


(no output)


No output means the requests are hanging or slow. Let me check the CPU again:

100% CPU again! Something is still causing the loop. Let me check what's happening. The sync interval should be disabled... let me check the server code again.

100% CPU again. Let me check what's triggering it:


  .get('*', ({ set }) => {
    set.headers['content-type'] = 'text/html';
    return Bun.file(join(distPath, 'index.html'));
  })

  .listen({
    port: Number(PORT),

  });

// Status sync disabled - was causing 100% CPU loop
// startStatusSync(10000);

`);

export type App = typeof app;


The startStatusSync is commented out. The issue must be the frontend making requests when it loads. Let me check if there's a sync happening via the WebSocket or API. Actually, let me check if the frontend build has polling code.

Found it! There's a `setInterval` in App.tsx. Let me check what it does:

grep -A 10 "setInterval" /home/crogers2287/pindex/frontend/src/App.tsx


const interval = setInterval(() => {
      if (projects().some(p => p.status === 'running')) {
        fetchProjects();
      }
    }, 5000);
    return () => clearInterval(interval);
  });
  const filteredProjects = () => {
    let result = projects();
    if (statusFilter()) {
      result = result.filter(p => p.status === statusFilter());


Found it! The frontend polls every 5 seconds if any project is marked as running. This triggers `fetchProjects()` which might be triggering something heavy on the backend.Let me check if there's an issue with the projects fetch or if it's something else.

grep -A 15 "const fetchProjects" /home/crogers2287/pindex/frontend/src/App.tsx


const fetchProjects = async () => {
    try {
      const params = new URLSearchParams();
      if (searchQuery()) params.set('search', searchQuery());
      if (statusFilter()) params.set('status', statusFilter()!);
      if (typeFilter()) params.set('type', typeFilter()!);
      if (sortBy()) params.set('sort', sortBy()!);
      const res = await fetch(`/api/projects?${params}`);
      const data = await res.json();
      if (data.success) {
        setProjects(data.data.projects);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to fetch projects:', error);
    } finally {
      setIsLoading(false);


The frontend is polling `/api/projects` every 5 seconds. Let me check what the backend does for that endpoint:

grep -A 20 "/api/projects" /home/crogers2287/pindex/src/server/index.ts | head -25


.get('/api/projects', ({ query }) => {
    const { search, status, sort, type } = query;

    let projects = getAllProjects();

    // Filter by search
    if (search) {
      projects = searchProjects(search);
    }

    // Filter by status
    if (status) {
      projects = projects.filter(p => p.status === status);
    }

    // Filter by type
    if (type) {
      projects = projects.filter(p => p.type === type);
    }

    // Sort
--
  .get('/api/projects/:id', ({ params }) => {
    const project = getProjectById(params.id);
    if (!project) {


The `/api/projects` endpoint just queries the database - that should be fast. Let me check if there's something else causing the CPU loop. Maybe the issue is the WebSocket connection or something else.Let me kill the process and add more debugging to understand what's happening:

I see "WebSocket client connected" multiple times - the frontend is reconnecting. This might be causing issues. Let me check if the isPortAvailable function is causing the issue - it uses Bun.TCPSocketHandler which might be problematic.Let me take a different approach. The user wants me to fix what they had. Let me:1. Check the git status to see what the original code looked like2. Restore it properly3. Make minimal, targeted fixesLet me check if there's a git repo:

cd /home/crogers2287/pindex && git status 2>&1 | head -20 || echo "Not a git repo"

The changes are extensive. Let me restore all the original files and make minimal changes just to add timeouts:

cd /home/crogers2287/pindex && git checkout -- src/scanner/detector.ts src/process/manager.ts src/db/schema.ts src/server/index.ts 2>&1; echo "Restored original files"


Restored original files


Good, now let me make minimal targeted fixes. The key issues are:1. `scanDirectory` can take too long on /home/crogers2287
2. `detectRunningProcesses` can hang3. `syncProjectStatuses` can take too longLet me add just the timeout protections without changing the logic:

The original code doesn't have any timeout protection. The key issue is that when scanning /home/crogers2287, it reads EVERY directory to check for project markers. This causes the CPU to spike.Let me add a timeout and also reduce the maxDepth default:

Let me find the detectRunningProcesses function:

exec

grep -n "export async function detectRunningProcesses" /home/crogers2287/pindex/src/process/manager.ts


grep -n "detectRunningProcesses\|RunningProcesses" /home/crogers2287/pindex/src/process/manager.ts | head -10


270:export function getAllRunningProcesses(): Array<{


It looks like the original file doesn't have detectRunningProcesses exported directly. Let me check the full file structure:

grep -n "^export" /home/crogers2287/pindex/src/process/manager.ts


19:export async function isPortAvailable(port: number): Promise<boolean> {
62:export async function findAvailablePort(startPort: number = 3000, endPort: number = 9999): Promise<number> {
93:export async function launchProject(
190:export function stopProject(projectId: string): { success: boolean; error?: string } {
221:export async function restartProject(
241:export function getProcessStats(projectId: string): {
270:export function getAllRunningProcesses(): Array<{
317:export function stopAllProcesses(): void {


Interesting! The original file doesn't have `detectRunningProcesses` or `syncProjectStatuses` exported. Let me check what the server/index.ts imports:


} from '../process/manager';


Let me see what is imported from manager:

grep -B5 "from '../process/manager'" /home/crogers2287/pindex/src/server/index.ts | head -20


stopProject,
  restartProject,
  getProcessStats,
  getAllRunningProcesses,
  findAvailablePort,
} from '../process/manager';


Good - the original server doesn't import detectRunningProcesses or syncProjectStatuses! That's good news - those were added by me earlier and caused issues. The original pindex doesn't have automatic process detection.Let me now check if startStatusSync is called in the original:


Good, `startStatusSync` is not in the original server file. Let me restart pindex with just the scanner timeout fix:

pm2 delete 28 2>/dev/null; sudo fuser -k 3457/tcp 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; cd /home/crogers2287/pindex && pm2 start src/server/index.ts --name pindex --interpreter /home/crogers2287/.bun/bin/bun 2>&1; sleep 5; pm2 status | grep pindex
