From 01531c54c80ae3644886df09ae6dadd985af4547 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuriy Mayatnikov Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 20:00:01 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(runtime/pathfinder):=20stuck-replan=20watc?= =?UTF-8?q?hdog=20=E2=80=94=20react=20to=20mid-path=20obstacles?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Problem (live 2026-05-26 screenshot): player drops a block in front of the bot mid-path. mineflayer-pathfinder computes the path once when goto() is called and never recomputes for world changes. Bot pushes forward against the new block until the 30–60 s goto timeout fires, visible as the bot just standing there pressing W. Fix — runtime/pathfinder-watchdog.js: per-bot poll loop (2 s tick) that runs while bot.pathfinder.goal is non-null. Tracks horizontal position. If movement < 0.5 blocks for > 6 s after an initial 1.5 s grace, forces a replan: setGoal(null) + setGoal() on a 250 ms delay. That makes the planner rebuild the path against the current world, so it routes around the new block — or, with canDig=true in our profiles, digs through it. Capped at 3 replans per goal so a genuinely unreachable target still bubbles up to the caller's timeout. Side benefit: catches mineflayer-pathfinder issue #222 ("path hangs on unreachable goal") much earlier than our 45 s goto wrappers. Wired into bot.js on the "spawn" event and stopped on gracefulExit. 7 new unit tests cover the polling math + replan cap. 197/197 green.
