fix: add timeout and recovery mechanisms for resource access #7642
Conversation
- Implement 40-second timeout with retry logic for resource access - Add graceful error handling for missing API conversation history - Implement exponential backoff for retries (2s initial, 6s max) - Add recovery methods for safely retrieving saved messages - Handle empty API conversation history without throwing errors - Add comprehensive tests for recovery mechanisms Fixes #7641

Is this intentional? The while loop condition checks elapsed time at the start of each iteration, but there's a small window where the total time could exceed 40 seconds between the check and the actual retry attempt. Consider checking the timeout again before starting each retry attempt.

The catch block treats all errors the same way. Could we differentiate between timeout errors and actual operation failures for better debugging? For example, check if error.message includes 'Timeout after' to identify timeout errors vs operation failures.
| const DEFAULT_USAGE_COLLECTION_TIMEOUT_MS = 5000 // 5 seconds | ||
| const FORCED_CONTEXT_REDUCTION_PERCENT = 75 // Keep 75% of context (remove 25%) on context window errors | ||
| const MAX_CONTEXT_WINDOW_RETRIES = 3 // Maximum retries for context window errors | ||
| const RESOURCE_ACCESS_TIMEOUT_MS = 40000 // 40 seconds timeout for resource access |

Consider making these timeout values configurable through VSCode settings or environment variables. This would allow users to adjust them based on their system performance or network conditions without modifying the code.

Consider adding telemetry here to track recovery success rates. This data could help identify patterns in resource access failures and improve the recovery mechanism over time.

Consider adding test cases for: (1) Concurrent calls to withTimeout to ensure no race conditions, (2) Recovery behavior during task abort, (3) Partial read scenarios where some data is retrieved before timeout, (4) Different types of errors (network vs file system).

In my case anyway, mac crashed and memory bank / Conversation history back end is now in "unknown state" this could auto flag a warning "existing API conversation history" integrity check at this point for me its taken two days to find where VSC mac hide all VSC files. First time ive missed windows uninstall app. first was two places, well name, then forums showed me about 6 others outside of scope named folders. im not sure if memories are out of sync with cloud roo now and so thats causing issues. reset button has not cleared memories.

Description
This PR addresses Issue #7641 by implementing timeout and recovery mechanisms to prevent the extension from hanging silently when it cannot access resources or memory.
Problem
The extension would hang indefinitely when:
