lsaint/aikito is a repository described as a durable workspace shared by multiple AI agents. On October 29, 2026, commit cb5302b touched the _follow_log function in src/aikito/remote_cli.py with the message "Fix for repeated remote log output".
The remote CLI of this repository contains a _follow_log function that grabs the log file left by a worker and reads it line by line, passing it along to standard output. Because the function keeps looping as long as readline returns a value, the same content could be printed two or more times. This patch adds a single line that reads the file descriptor's modification time (st_mtime_ns) via os.fstat just before printing a line.
Verification is handled by the newly added test_follow_log_does_not_replay_after_append test in tests/test_remote_service.py. This test fakes out time.sleep, counts the number of iterations, appends a new line to the log file in the first cycle, and then moves the modification time forward by one second with os.utime. It runs the function to the end and checks that the existing line "old line" does not remain in the output, and that the new line "new line" appears exactly once. The commit as a whole touches 2 files, with 30 lines added and 0 lines deleted.
However, the commit touched only one place, the log-following path, and there is no material on the impact on the repository's structure or performance. The same file already retains test_follow_log_handles_rotation, a test that deals with log rotation, so it is hard to determine from this material alone how rotation and repeated output interact. The commit message reveals only the fact of the fix and does not state the reproduction conditions, performance figures, or release version. Because it was a local fix to the output path, it would be premature to think that the overall behavior of the repository changed; whether the repeated output actually disappears can only be inferred from the code, and there are remaining points to verify.
