When the server runs from dist/, resource telemetry cannot find a resource monitor produced by a normal Cargo release or debug build. Apply the existing Cargo output candidates to both source and bundled-module crate locations.

Takeover

Credit to @yordis for the fix in #23965.
This replacement preserves all author commits and merges them onto current main because the contributor fork is not pushable.
Retained the production implementation; replaced candidate-list assertions with isolated filesystem regression tests.
The original PR is left open for the dispatcher.

Evidence

Prerequisite and test transcript · Proof audit

Visual matrix: empty; server-only binary lookup.
Both new built-layout release/debug cases fail with main's resolver (ResourceMonitorBinaryNotFound) and pass with the fix. Six focused tests pass.
Built-server telemetry before/after remains unverified: Cargo, rustc, and rustup are unavailable even with ~/.cargo/bin in PATH. The explicit takeover exception applies. Placeholder binaries prove resolution, not native execution.
Proof audit passes 1 and 2 passed with that limitation. Native Windows and packaged Electron launches were not performed.

Verification log

• Head: d2145945c9; main: 5bb54a0f77.
• Author commits preserved; main integrated by merge commit; final main refresh already up to date.
• Tests before: 5; after: 6 in the existing ResourceMonitorBinary test file.
• vp test run apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/ResourceMonitorBinary.test.ts: 6 passed, including final gate run.
• Targeted format/lint, server typecheck, and diff whitespace checks passed.
• Reviewer A: MERGE; reviewer B: MERGE, round 1, full diff against main; no concrete findings.
• Reviewer A additionally verified desktop external-resource path behavior: 1 test passed.
• CI: all 34 replacement-head checks passed; no pending or failing checks.
• CodeRabbit target-specific debug suggestion declined: target/<triple>/debug was unsupported on main and is outside the approved three Cargo output candidates (target/<triple>/release, target/release, target/debug). Both independent reviewers confirmed that existing limitation. This takeover preserves that scope; no regression is introduced.
• Model/harness: Codex gpt-6.1-sol through T3 Code for tests, implementation, both reviews, evidence, and proof audits.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This small runtime fix broadens resource-monitor binary lookup for built server layouts and adds regression coverage. A concrete unresolved concern remains for cross-target Cargo debug output under target/<rustTarget>/debug, so the candidate paths and test coverage need human review.

Notes:

• All code in this push has already been reviewed. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

📝 Walkthrough

The resource-monitor binary resolver now checks additional Cargo output locations when a Rust target is defined. Tests cover Windows ARM64 binary lookup in release and debug directories under a built-server layout.

Changes: Resource monitor binary discovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cargo output candidate resolution apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/ResourceMonitorBinary.ts, apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/ResourceMonitorBinary.test.ts	The resolver adds target-specific release, generic release, and debug output candidates for both crate locations. Tests check Windows ARM64 binary resolution from release and debug directories.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d2145

A target-specific Cargo debug build may not be found when run from the built server. Add that lookup and its filesystem test before merging, or accept the limited developer-workflow gap.

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has a clear problem statement, a change summary, a scope and approval explanation, and a detailed verification section. It explains that the change is a takeover of PR #23965, credits the original author, and cites the maintainer dispatch context. The Problem section is only implied: the opening sentence describes the failure, but expected behavior and reproduction steps are not stated in a dedicated Problem heading. The Scope and approval section does not link a triaged issue or maintainer approval comment. It refers to an 'explicit takeover exception' and 'approved three Cargo output candidates' without a link to the approval. Verification is thorough: it lists test counts, reviewer results, the unverified built-server telemetry, and the native launches that were not performed. The template asks for verification of changed behavior, and the author gives it. The unverified areas are stated clearly.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Search the target-specific debug directory.

When Cargo builds with --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc and without --release, it writes the binary under target/aarch64-pc-windows-msvc/debug/. This list omits that directory, so resolve returns ResourceMonitorBinaryNotFound when that binary is the only candidate present. Add path.join("target", rustTarget, "debug") and a focused filesystem case. The new debug test creates target/debug instead. (doc.rust-lang.org)

As per coding guidelines, “Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.”
