Problem

When notification permission is granted but getDevicePushTokenAsync() fails (an Android build without Firebase config, or a transient FCM/APNs error), mobile registration logged the error, registered with the relay as notificationsEnabled: false with no token, and set the status to registered. Settings then said "Notifications enabled" on a device that can never receive a push. On a device that already worked, a single failed lookup on refresh sent notificationsEnabled: false and turned off notifications the relay had accepted.

Reproduced on main 5211acfe95 through the production registration function, with permission granted and the token lookup rejecting: the status ends registered and the relay write carries notificationsEnabled: false.

Change

nativePushTokenRegistration: once permission is granted, notifications stay enabled even when no token can be read. A failed lookup reuses the token read earlier in this app session; with none, the registration is sent without a token. The relay keeps any token it already holds (coalesce on push_token), so a refresh no longer disables notifications. Preference writes and the device row that iOS Live Activities depend on still go through.
registerDeviceWithRelay: a registration accepted with notifications on but no token reports failed, not registered. Settings shows the existing "Couldn't finish enabling notifications" state, and the foreground and session-refresh retries keep trying.
Relay Devices.listForUser: reports notifications as enabled only when the device has a push token. Otherwise the web Mobile clients page would list a tokenless device as receiving alerts.

Scope and approval

Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#26530

Verification

apps/mobile vp test run src/features/agent-awareness/remoteRegistration.test.ts: 19 passed. Against main's remoteRegistration.ts, the 5 added tests fail and the other 14 pass:

1	× does not report a device registered when its push token lookup fails
2	× saves a preference change when no push token can be read
3	× keeps notifications enabled when a refresh cannot read the push token
4	× does not report notifications enabled after permission is granted without a token
5	× saves a preference change when the push token cannot be re-read
6	Tests 5 failed \| 14 passed (19)

infra/relay vp test run src/agentActivity/Devices.test.ts: 2 passed. Against main's Devices.ts, the tokenless case fails.
vp run check:changed at 9d42383374: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages) and tests pass.
Not checked: a device run and the web Mobile clients page. Both need a T3 Connect sign-in this environment does not have, so there are no captures. No layout changed; the visible effect is which existing Settings state and Mobile clients label appear, and the tests above cover that. Real FCM/APNs delivery was not exercised.

Walkthrough

Mobile registration retains a previously observed native push token when a later lookup fails. It reports a tokenless registration as failed when notifications are enabled. Relay device listings report notifications as enabled only when the saved preference is enabled and a push token exists.

Changes: Push notification registration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mobile token handling and registration status `apps/mobile/src/features/agent-awareness/remoteRegistration.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/agent-awareness/remoteRegistration.test.ts`	Mobile registration caches native tokens and falls back to the cached token when a new lookup fails. It derives registration status from the payload. Android tests cover initial registration and refresh after token lookup failures.
Relay notification state in device listings `infra/relay/src/agentActivity/Devices.ts`, `infra/relay/src/agentActivity/Devices.test.ts`	Device listings report notifications as enabled only when the saved preference is enabled and the device has a push token. Tests cover null and non-null tokens.

Possibly related issues

pingdotgg/t3code#26678: The issue identifies tokenless registration as a possible cause of missing notifications; this change prevents tokenless registrations from reporting notifications as enabled.

Suggested reviewers: pixpmusic, maria-rcks, t3dotgg

Merge Risk: External image Low · up to fe445

In a narrow timing window, a rotated push token could be replaced by a stale one in the app's cache. Notifications would then appear registered while delivery fails. The core change otherwise behaves as intended, so this is worth fixing but is not a broad merge risk.

Explanation

The description includes all required sections: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. It explains the failure, implementation across mobile and relay components, linked issue, test results, and unverified device checks.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #26530 requires token-fetch failures to avoid false successful notification registration and to preserve an accepted notification state during refresh. nativePushTokenRegistration keeps notifications enabled after permission is granted, reuses the session token when available, and sends no token when lookup fails. registerDeviceWithRelay reports failed when notifications are enabled without a token. Devices.listForUser reports notifications enabled only when a push token exists. The added mobile and relay tests cover these cases.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #26530. The production changes update mobile token handling, registration status, relay token preservation, and relay device listing. The added tests directly verify these behaviors. No unrelated product behavior is identified.

This repeats the cached-token failure setup in the preference-change test. Could you fold the refresh and its assertions into that case before the preference update?

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at fe445b8

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The change preserves notification intent during transient push-token failures and avoids reporting tokenless devices as ready for notifications. Existing permission gates remain unchanged, with no product-default or infrastructure changes.

Keep the rotation token when an older read completes.

A direct refresh can overlap a listener registration. If its earlier token read completes after rotation, it can replace the cached rotation token. A later lookup failure can reuse the invalid token and report registered.

Prevent the older read from replacing the rotation token. Add a test with a deferred token read and a listener event.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the proof has no capture anyone can open:

Permanent blocker: T3 Connect is unavailable, preventing the required authenticated relay registration on both commits.
Initial token lookup failure: neither the incorrect success message on base nor the failure message on head was observed.
Transient token lookup failure: preservation of the accepted preference, reuse of the session token, and delivery of preference changes were not observed.
Tokenless-device filtering on the web Mobile clients page was not observed.
No captures or driver scripts were produced; no ghdrop upload was attempted.
