Summary
This PR fixes a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the LSP server's
_read_message()method. Previously, the method would block indefinitely when reading the message body if a malicious client sent a validContent-Lengthheader but then stalled without delivering the actual message body. The fix introduces a configurable per-message read timeout usingselect()to enforce time limits on socket reads, while maintaining backward compatibility with in-memory streams used in tests.Changes

(check
no_duplicates, categoryno_duplicates)PR #10650 fixes a specific DoS vulnerability in the LSP server's _read_message() method by adding a per-message read timeout using select(). While multiple open LSP PRs address other security issues (subprocess cleanup on initialization failure, header injection in ASCII decoding, path traversal in file reading), none of them target the indefinite blocking vulnerability in the message body reading logic. This is a distinct, focused security fix with no topical overlap or duplicate among the open PRs.
📋 Estimate: tier 1.
3-file change (+162/-9) adding a DoS fix to the LSP server: new
select()-based timeout logic, a fallback path for in-memory streams, a new constructor parameter, and BDD test coverage. Multi-file scope with new logic branches (select fd check, fallback, configurable timeout) puts this firmly above tier 0. The typecheck and security CI failures are Docker pull-rate-limit infrastructure noise, not code defects. The unit_tests gate shows 2 genuine scenario failures out of 15241, indicating real implementation work remains. Task is well-defined and bounded — no architectural sprawl — so tier 2 is not warranted.36bcb04bdetoe2c658918b(attempt #3, tier 1)

(check
no_duplicates, categoryno_duplicates)PR #10650 adds a configurable per-message read timeout to LSP's _read_message() method using select() to prevent indefinite blocking on stalled clients. While six other LSP security fixes are open (#10597, #10608, #10632, #10644, #10625, etc.), each addresses a distinct vulnerability (subprocess cleanup, header injection, directory traversal, path traversal, env injection). None modifies message-reading loop timeout handling or closes #7083. No topical overlap or duplicated scope detected.
📋 Estimate: tier 1.
3-file security fix adding select()-based per-message read timeout to LSP _read_message(). New logic includes _read_body_with_timeout() with fd detection, fallback for in-memory streams (BytesIO), and a new constructor parameter. New BDD test coverage for timeout enforcement and fallback behavior. Socket/file-descriptor semantics and backward-compatibility reasoning required. CI failures are all infrastructure network errors (forgejo-http unreachable), not code failures — integration_tests logs show "OK" before artifact upload failure. Solidly tier 1: cross-file, new logic branches, new tests.
