Problem

When a server is started by hand through the install script's t3 launcher, which is a symlink into ~/.t3/runtime/versions/<v>/t3, it reports no installation kind. The update action then falls back to Copy relaunch command with npx t3@<version>. That needs Node on the host and leaves the installed t3 on the old version, so restarting through the user's own launcher brings the old version back. A real workspace stayed on 0.1.3 while the desktop app moved to 0.1.6. Fixes #29460.

Change

  • Server (apps/server/src/cli/invocation.ts): when the running entry is a pinned runtime, the server resolves the launcher it was invoked through. That is the same lookup t3 update uses to choose which launcher to repoint. The launcher has to be a symlink into that runtime's home. The server then reports { kind: "t3-launcher", launcher, baseDir }.
    • baseDir keeps the link's own spelling, so a symlinked ~/.t3 still matches what repointLauncher accepts.
    • The reported launcher is the absolute path already verified to point into that home. The PATH lookup passes over directories and non-executable files named t3, as the shell does. server.ts resolves the launcher before fixPath rewrites PATH and provides it as HostProcess.InvokedAs, so the startup PATH hydration can't swap in a different t3.
    • A runtime started directly, as desktop-managed SSH launches do, or through a plain copy still reports nothing.
  • Web (versionSkew.ts, ServerUpdateAction.tsx): copies '<launcher>' update --base-dir '<home>' <version> as Copy update command, with the same "then restart t3 with your usual options" toast as npm-global installs. --base-dir is always passed so an inherited T3CODE_HOME can't send the update to a home the launcher isn't in.
  • Contracts: a new ServerInstallation member. The field is already ForwardCompatibleOptional, so older clients decode it as unknown and keep today's behavior.
  • resolveLauncherPath moves to cloud/pinnedRuntime.ts, because importing it from cli/update.ts would create a cycle through cli/service.ts. A bare name found through a relative PATH entry now resolves against the working directory.

Windows entries (t3.exe) don't match and keep today's behavior. This doesn't bring back the foreground respawn self-update that #5181 removed. #22773 touches the same function for systemd-supervised servers, a different case.

Scope and approval

This is a focused fix for the wrong manual command. It is filed as #29460, which hasn't been triaged yet. There is no new setting or flow, only a correct command for an install kind the server didn't recognise.

Verification

  • The new invocation.test.ts case uses a symlinked home, a relative PATH with a directory and a non-executable t3 ahead of the launcher, a bare invocation, an absolute invocation, a directly started runtime and a plain copy. It fails on main and passes here. versionSkew.test.ts and environment.test.ts gained rows for the command and the decode.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (35 packages) and react compiler pass. Two npm-global cases in invocation.test.ts fail only on macOS (/var vs /private/var), the same way on main. CI runs on Linux.
  • Real-process runs, starting node via exec -a through a launcher symlink into <home>/runtime/versions/0.1.3/t3:
    • bare t3 on PATH with a symlinked home: t3-launcher with the absolute launcher and the link-spelled baseDir
    • absolute launcher with T3CODE_HOME exported elsewhere: absolute launcher plus the link-spelled baseDir
    • runtime started directly: null
  • I ran the copied form, '/home/bits/.local/bin/t3' update --base-dir '/home/bits/.t3' 0.1.6, against a real installed t3 0.1.6 on Linux ARM64. It exited 0 ("already on 0.1.6").

Before (the server reports nothing):

before: Copy relaunch command, npx t3@0.1.6

After (t3-launcher):

after: Copy update command, '/home/bits/.local/bin/t3' update --base-dir '/home/bits/.t3' 0.1.6

Not checked: Electron and mobile. Mobile has no manual update command, and desktop uses the same web component.

Walkthrough

The server identifies pinned-runtime launches made through a matching t3 launcher. The installation descriptor carries the launcher and base directory. The client creates and presents a manual update command for this installation type.

Changes: Launcher-Based Server Updates

Layer / File(s)Summary
Installation descriptor contract
packages/contracts/src/environment.ts, packages/contracts/src/environment.test.ts		ServerInstallation accepts a t3-launcher variant with non-empty launcher and baseDir fields. Tests cover valid and invalid descriptors.
Pinned-runtime launcher detection
apps/server/src/cloud/pinnedRuntime.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts, apps/server/src/cli/invocation.ts, apps/server/src/cli/invocation.test.ts, apps/server/src/cli/update.ts, apps/server/src/cli/update.test.ts, apps/server/src/cli/uninstall.ts		Launcher resolution moves to pinnedRuntime.ts. The server captures the launcher path before PATH changes. Detection returns a t3-launcher descriptor when the launcher symlink matches the running runtime.
Launcher update command and UI
apps/web/src/versionSkew.ts, apps/web/src/versionSkew.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/ServerUpdateAction.tsx, docs/user/updating.md		The client generates a quoted launcher update command and presents it as an update action. Tests cover command quoting, and the guide includes installed t3 commands.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

For [#29460], the server identifies a pinned runtime started through its launcher symlink and reports the launcher and link-spelled base directory. The web client generates a quoted update --base-dir command for the target version and tells the user to restart with the usual options. The reported tests cover launcher detection, command generation, and contract decoding. Direct runtime starts and plain copies retain the existing fallback behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes support [#29460]. Moving resolveLauncherPath to pinnedRuntime.ts supports launcher detection and avoids the reported import cycle. The contract, UI, documentation, and focused tests implement or verify the requested manual update command. No unrelated change is evident.

Skip PATH candidates that could not have launched t3.

If an earlier PATH directory contains a directory or non-executable file named t3, this existence check selects it before the executable launcher. resolveServerInstallation then cannot verify the selected path as the launcher and returns null. The client offers a relaunch command instead of the installed-command update action. Check that a candidate is executable before accepting it, and continue to later PATH entries when it is not.

Hhieu-lee8d ago

Agreed, fixed in 7323da52e9. resolveLauncherPath now accepts a PATH candidate only if it is a regular file (stat follows symlinks) with an executable bit off Windows, so a directory or non-executable t3 earlier on PATH is skipped, as the shell does. The invocation test now puts both ahead of the real launcher; that case fails without the change.

CcoderabbitaiBot8d ago

@hieu-lee Thanks. The supplied resolveLauncherPath implementation addresses this finding. It skips directories and, outside Windows, files without executable bits, then continues to later PATH entries.

Store the resolved launcher path for bare invocations.

If the copied command finds a different t3 on PATH, runUpdate installs the target under the original --base-dir. repointLauncher then rejects the selected launcher because it does not own that base directory. The command can therefore update one installation while leaving the t3 launcher that it invoked on its old version.

Hhieu-lee8d ago

Agreed, fixed in 7323da52e9. The bare name was there because server.ts hydrates PATH before detection, but as you point out, the host shell could then pick an unrelated t3 (for example an npm global install) whose update leaves this launcher on the old version. The descriptor now always carries the absolute launcher that was verified to link into the runtime's home.

CcoderabbitaiBot8d ago

@hieu-lee Thanks. The supplied invocation.ts now returns the verified launcher path and preserves baseDir. This addresses the risk of the copied update command selecting an unrelated t3 through PATH.

Preserve the launcher selected before PATH hydration.

A hand-started server has no service-launcher context, so installation detection runs. For a bare HostProcess.InvokedAs, detection searches the current PATH. The server hydrates PATH before it constructs ServerEnvironment, and login-shell entries take priority over inherited entries. HostProcess.InvokedAs retains only process.argv0 ("t3"), not the executable selected by the shell.

If login-shell PATH contains another executable named t3, detection can select it instead of the installed launcher. A regular file or a launcher for another pinned runtime then makes detection return null, so the server loses its t3-launcher descriptor. Capture or resolve the launcher before PATH hydration and pass that path to installation detection.

Agreed, fixed in 79b735ac81. layerMakeServer now resolves the launcher with resolveLauncherPath before fixPath rewrites PATH, and provides that absolute path as HostProcess.InvokedAs to the returned server layer, so every ServerEnvironment instance detects the launcher the shell actually started. InvokedAs has no other readers in the server.

@hieu-lee Verified in 79b735ac81. layerMakeServer resolves the launcher before fixPath and provides the preserved path as HostProcess.InvokedAs to the returned server layer. This addresses the PATH hydration finding. Verification was source-only; I did not run tests.

Quote and validate targetVersion before generating the launcher command.

targetVersion is interpolated without shell quoting in the t3-launcher branch. A reachable non-exact APP_VERSION can produce a copied command that the CLI rejects. A shell-significant value can also be interpreted by the shell before the CLI receives it. Quote targetVersion, and allow the manual update action only when it passes the same exact-version contract as the CLI. Generic parseSemver is not sufficient because it accepts normalized shorthand versions.

@coderabbitai Re the outside-diff note on apps/web/src/versionSkew.ts:98-113 (quote and validate targetVersion): I'm leaving this as is.

  • targetVersion is the client's own build version (APP_VERSION), or, for a track switch, a release version from npm, which only accepts valid semver. Neither comes from the remote host, and neither can contain shell metacharacters.
  • The existing npm-global and npx branches use the same value unquoted (t3@${targetVersion}). Quoting only the new branch would make them inconsistent without making it safer.
  • A non-exact version wouldn't do anything unsafe. t3 update would reject the copied command with an error, so an extra exact-version gate isn't worth the code.

@maria-rcks could you take a look when you have a moment? It fixes #29460: hand-started servers installed with the install script's t3 launcher were offered npx t3@<version>, which never updates the installed launcher. They now get '<launcher>' update --base-dir '<home>' <version>. CI is green, and the Macroscope and CodeRabbit findings are addressed. Thanks!

@hieu-lee Understood. Given the version sources you described, I withdraw the request to quote or validate targetVersion. I confirmed that the existing command branches interpolate the same value unquoted.

The remote installation paths remain quoted. No change is needed for this note.

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified head 79b735ac810031be831f8dbc3d65fce73983e000 as-is on linux x64, with playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome.

  • reproduced on github/main (87e13d3fe177) in a separate worktree: a real executable launched through the installed-style symlink offered "Copy relaunch command" and copied npx t3@0.1.7.
  • on the exact pr executable, the same symlink, home, origin and settings flow offered "Copy update command". the actual browser clipboard contained '/tmp/launcher-check/bin/t3' update --base-dir '/tmp/launcher-check/home' 0.1.7; the toast instructed restarting with the usual options.
  • starting the exact pr executable directly preserved the relaunch fallback.
  • exercised real downloads and launcher repointing with published versions 0.1.6 → 0.1.5 → 0.1.6. an unrelated inherited T3CODE_HOME did not redirect the explicit --base-dir. the updater warned that the hand-started server needed restarting.
  • added a real git project through the app, selected codex gpt-6.1-sol, and completed a real provider turn through the local proxy. the response was launcher verification ok.; the client showed zero file changes.

both checkouts ran vp i and background vp run dev, one at a time. launcher detection additionally used real single-executable builds produced on blacksmith. the supported APP_VERSION=0.1.7 client build setting exposed the version mismatch against server 0.1.6; no descriptors, provider responses or app state were mocked.

vp run check:changed edc37c96c810d42761ab510c6a3e9d0a741547dc passed through blacksmith: format, lint, knip, graphql, 35-package typecheck, 61 tests across 8 files, and react compiler checks. no source changes were needed.

main: installed launcher offers copy relaunch command

pr: same installed launcher offers copy update command

Not verified

native electron, ios/android, macos/windows, ssh/relay/tunnel connections, and other providers were not exercised on this linux vm. the synthetic client target 0.1.7 is unpublished, so that exact target was not installed; download/repoint behavior used the published versions above. native dependencies were resolved from each checkout beside its executable rather than a full release archive.

@juliusmarminge merged current main into this branch (the conflicts were in the CLI import lists: resolveLauncherPath now lives in cloud/pinnedRuntime.ts). vp run check:changed is clean and the affected test files pass. Could you review this when you have a moment?

Preserve whitespace in baseDir paths.

If an installed home ends in a space, TrimmedNonEmptyString changes its path during descriptor decoding. The copied update --base-dir command then targets a different home, so it does not update the installed launcher. Use a non-empty path schema that preserves whitespace. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Valid. TrimmedNonEmptyString trimmed on both decode and encode, so a path with leading or trailing whitespace would have been altered. launcher and baseDir now use a non-trimming non-empty string, with a decode test that keeps whitespace. Fixed in the latest push.

Search the current directory for empty POSIX PATH entries

If a user starts an installed launcher by bare name through an empty PATH entry, this resolver skips the launcher. Installation detection can then fall back to an npx relaunch command, which does not update the installed launcher. Add a test for this PATH entry.
