feat(core): let a process report the ports it serves - #339
Conversation
Deployment needs to know which ports get a load balancer target group, a
listener rule and a container port mapping. It inferred that from environment
variable NAMES — anything ending `_PORT`, minus a denylist of dependency ports
— and the guess was wrong in both directions: a dependency's port got a
container mapping it never needed, and a scaffolded `WS_PORT=11000` that no
application code read provisioned a listener and a target group for a port
with no server behind it.
The process is the only thing that knows what it bound, so anything binding a
port to serve traffic now registers it, with the value actually used. A
websocket server moved to 12000 reports 12000 rather than the 11000 that three
separate code paths independently assumed.
Only ports that SERVE register. A database or cache the service connects to
never calls this, which retires the denylist instead of extending it for every
new dependency.
- `registerServingPort` / `getServingPorts` in core, idempotent per port and
ignoring values that are not usable (`Number(process.env.PORT)` is NaN
when PORT is unset).
- express and hyper-express register their port BEFORE the openapi
short-circuit, using the same resolution the real listen path uses, and
emit `ports` in the export payload.
- `ForklaunchWebSocketServer` registers the `{ port }` form. A server built
on an existing http server knows its port at `listen()` and registers
there.
The openapi export is now written from `setImmediate` and `listen()` returns,
rather than exiting inline. A websocket server is typically constructed AFTER
`app.listen()` in server.ts, so exiting there meant it never ran and its port
could never be recorded — the export would claim the service serves only HTTP.
Deferring by a tick lets the synchronous remainder of server.ts run first, so
anything binding a port registers on the way past.
core 5 passed. core, ws, express and hyper-express all typecheck clean.

Copy each registry entry at both boundaries.
The array spread copies only the array. Its ServingPort objects remain shared references.
For example, getServingPorts()[0].port = 9999 changes the stored entry. Mutating the original object after registration has the same effect.
Proposed fix
- registry.push(entry);
+ registry.push({ ...entry });
}
export function getServingPorts(): ServingPort[] {
- return [...registry].sort((a, b) => a.port - b.port);
+ return registry
+ .map((entry) => ({ ...entry }))

site:github.com/websockets/ws 8.21.3 lib/websocket-server.js 426 Upgrade Required port
💡 Result:
In the ws library for Node.js, the 426 Upgrade Required HTTP status code is returned by the WebSocket server when it receives a standard HTTP request instead of the expected WebSocket handshake request [1][2][3]. This behavior occurs because the WebSocket protocol relies on an initial HTTP request that includes specific headers (such as Upgrade: websocket) to switch the connection protocol [2][3]. When the internal HTTP server created by the WebSocket server (or configured via the port option) receives a request that does not meet these requirements, it automatically responds with a 426 Upgrade Required error [2][3]. This is standard protocol behavior and not typically indicative of a bug in the library itself [2]. Common causes for this error include: 1. Accessing the WebSocket server port via a web browser or standard HTTP client (like curl) instead of a WebSocket client [1][2]. 2. Misconfigured proxy servers (e.g., NGINX) that are not correctly forwarding the upgrade request to the WebSocket server [2]. If you are encountering this error, ensure that your client is correctly initiating a WebSocket connection and that any intermediate proxies are properly configured to pass through the required upgrade headers [1][2][4]. The file lib/websocket-server.js manages this logic, as it is responsible for handling incoming HTTP connections and determining whether to upgrade them to WebSockets or reject them with the appropriate status code [3][5]. Version 8.21.3 is a recent release of the ws library that included updates to security and permessage-deflate handling, but the core mechanism for the 426 response remains consistent with the library's design [6][7].

Provide a 2xx health endpoint for the advertised WebSocket port.
registerServingPort requires /health to answer a plain HTTP GET with 2xx. The { port } mode of the declared ws dependency uses an internal HTTP server that returns 426 Upgrade Required, so a load balancer can mark the WebSocket target unhealthy. Attach the WebSocket server to an HTTP server with a 2xx /health handler, or remove this serving-port registration.

Closing: the wrong shape given live services. This added a runtime registry so a process could report the ports it bound. Correct in the abstract, but every already-deployed service would have to rebuild against a new framework before deployment learned anything — and the whole point is to fix services that are running now. The replacement needs no framework change: the manifest declares which ENV VAR holds each serving port, and the platform resolves it at deploy time (forklaunch-platform#661). MCP and HTTP are framework conventions the platform already knows, so they need no declaration at all. The spike here was still worth it — it proved |
