Problem

When you reopen the iOS app with several remote environments, the cached thread list shows at once, but it stays stale for a few seconds before it updates. There are two causes:

  • After iOS has killed the app, every environment downloads the full thread list (shell snapshot) over HTTP before it subscribes, even though the cache holds a cursor the server could resume from.
  • After a long background the socket is usually dead, but the connect chain starts only when the liveness probe gives up.

Change

This builds on #28487 by @Bil0000 (with merges by @maria-rcks). Its commits are kept unchanged with their authors, and the three commits on top are ours. #28487 already resumes the thread list from the in-memory cursor on a new session and shortens the long-resume probe to 1.5 s. This PR covers the two cases it leaves:

  • Resume from the saved cache after a cold start (ddbe5d3f51). The shell cache now stores a vouch next to the rows, { omissionKey, serverVersion, authoritativeAt }, and stores it only for data that comes from an authoritative server snapshot. On the first session after launch, the client subscribes with afterSequence set to the cached sequence and skips the blocking HTTP snapshot, but only when all of these hold:

    • the omission options match;
    • the server version matches;
    • the vouch is less than 12 hours old.

    Anything else takes the HTTP path as before: no vouch, a legacy cache, a mismatch, an unreadable config, or a failed first resume. Replay does not refresh authoritativeAt, so chained resumes still get a full snapshot at least every 12 hours. That bounds drift that replay cannot fix: the older-settled cut, rows that left the newest window, and projections rebuilt by a server upgrade. Project-metadata enrichment snapshots no longer mark the list as authoritative. The vouch is an optional field, so there is no cache schema bump and older apps still read the cache. Mobile and web both persist it.

  • Start a replacement socket while a long-resume probe waits (ff9cb58627, f01279ffdd). On a remote route, if the probe of the old socket is unanswered 500 ms after a long iOS background, a replacement session starts beside it.

    • A frame or a probe answer on the old socket cancels the replacement. That includes a frame that lands between two frame checks just before the replacement is ready.
    • A ready replacement swaps in. The next attempt adopts it instead of connecting again.
    • A failed replacement leaves the decision to the probe.

    LAN and loopback routes keep the previous behavior.

  • Reload when a reconnect reaches an upgraded server (13330c570f). #28487's in-memory resume checked only the omission options. It now also requires the server version to match, because an upgrade can rebuild projections that replay would not resend.

  • Drop shell items buffered from a superseded session (2e92c03ee8). switchMap can buffer values across a session change, so a stale snapshot could have been stamped with the new session's vouch. The shell now uses subscribeDynamicWithSession, the same way state/server.ts does, and drops items from a session that is no longer active before they change any state. docs/internals/connection-runtime.md describes the resume probe as it is now.

  • No stuck pending catalog for providers that cannot scan a folder (e7d710dcbc). In #28487's on-demand catalog refresh, an instance without snapshotForCwd got the machine catalog marked slashCommandsPending: true, which never clears. That instance already keeps its machine catalog in the config stream, so the refresh now returns no cwd snapshot for it.

Why the server replay is enough: it sends a full thread.updated row for every thread that changed, including threads the cache omitted (apps/server/src/ws.ts, orchestration-v2/ShellStream.ts). The client upserts unknown ids, and deletes and archives arrive as thread.removed. A cursor ahead of the head, or a gap over 1000 events or 8 MiB, falls back to a full snapshot.

Scope and approval

This is a performance fix for slow mobile sync, the same problem #28487 addresses, and it is meant to land with or after it. There is no separate triaged issue. If you'd rather review it on its own, the commits after ea338f2022, other than the merge of main, are the whole change.

Verification

  • Every change has a test that fails without it:
    • shell-sync.test.ts has 10 new cases. A table checks resume versus HTTP for: a matching vouch, a vouch just inside the cap, no vouch, another omission key, another server version, a vouch at the cap, and a vouch from the future. Other cases check that a retried or enrichment-only resume reloads over HTTP, that chained resumes keep the original authoritativeAt, and that an HTTP snapshot is stamped.
    • environment-cache-store.test.ts checks the vouch round trip and that a legacy record loads.
    • supervisor.test.ts:
      • the replacement starts at exactly 500 ms, not at 499;
      • the client swaps when the replacement is ready;
      • the client adopts a replacement that is still connecting when the probe gives up;
      • a failed replacement leaves the probe to decide;
      • a frame cancels the replacement, including a frame between two polls;
      • LAN and loopback get no early replacement.
  • vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck of 36 packages, 11 test files with 190 tests, and the react compiler check.
    • shell-sync.test.ts: a reconnect to an upgraded server reloads over HTTP. A snapshot buffered from a superseded session is dropped; the test reproduces the buffering deterministically with Deferred gates.
  • ws.test.ts: a non-scanning instance gets no cwd snapshot, and a scanning instance whose scan failed still gets the pending fallback.
  • Reviewed with sol-loop: 5 rounds with gpt-6.1-sol, the last one on the catalog fix (e7d710dcbc). Round 1 found the frame-between-polls race (f01279ffdd). Rounds 3 and 4 checked the two CodeRabbit fixes (13330c570f, 2e92c03ee8). The final round approved.
  • Not verified: I have not measured this on a physical iPhone. The behaviour is proven by the deterministic tests above, not by a device timing. The existing spans environment.initialSync and clientRuntime.state.fetchEnvironmentShellSnapshot should show the HTTP snapshot gone from cold-start resumes.

Original work: #28487 by @Bil0000 and @maria-rcks.

Walkthrough

This change adds validated metadata for cached shell resumes, enables on-demand provider catalogs across client and server RPCs, expands WebSocket stream windows, and changes long-resume recovery to probe existing sessions while starting replacement connections on remote routes.

Changes: Shell Cache Resume

Layer / File(s)Summary
Cache vouch contract and storage
packages/client-runtime/src/platform/orchestrationCache.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/platform/persistence.ts, apps/mobile/src/connection/environment-cache-store.ts, apps/mobile/src/connection/environment-cache-store.test.ts, apps/web/src/connection/storage.ts		The cache record and persistence interfaces support an optional vouch. Mobile and web storage load and save it when present.
Vouch validation and shell synchronization
packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell-sync.test.ts		Shell synchronization permits cached resume when the vouch matches the omission settings and server version and is less than 12 hours old. Authoritative snapshots update the vouch; replay and deferred-link updates preserve it.

On-Demand Provider Catalogs

Layer / File(s)Summary
Catalog request contracts and client options
packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/rpc/session.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/server.ts, apps/mobile/src/connection/runtime.ts, apps/mobile/src/state/server.ts		RPC contracts and client configuration support providerCatalogsOnDemand; the mobile connection and server environment enable it.
Server catalog filtering and refresh
apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/ws.test.ts		The server filters machine catalogs for cwd-capable providers and returns a pending catalog snapshot when an on-demand cwd snapshot is unavailable. Tests cover provider updates and failed cwd scans.

WebSocket Subscription Stream Windows

Layer / File(s)Summary
Window initialization and coverage
apps/server/src/terminal/OutputProtocol.ts, apps/server/src/terminal/OutputProtocol.test.ts		Window initialization now includes server-config, shell, and thread subscription methods. The pending-chunk limit test covers these methods.

Long-Resume Connection Recovery

Layer / File(s)Summary
Replacement connection lifecycle and session closure
packages/client-runtime/src/connection/supervisor.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/rpc/session.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/rpc/session.test.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/connection/supervisor.test.ts		The supervisor manages replacement connection scopes and handoff. The RPC protocol suppresses non-request sends after disconnection, and tests cover session stream termination and retry timing.
Long-resume probe and replacement decisions
packages/client-runtime/src/connection/supervisor.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/connection/supervisor.test.ts, docs/internals/connection-runtime.md		Remote long resumes can start a replacement while monitoring the existing session. Probe responses, inbound frames, host checks, and replacement outcomes determine whether the supervisor retains or replaces the session. Tests cover remote, LAN, and loopback cases.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Move catalog filtering into the provider service.

The subscription handler now reads provider capabilities and applies catalog policy. The refresh handler applies related policy through a separate path. Put both decisions in the provider service so the two responses share one policy. As per coding guidelines, “A transport handler does three things: decode the request, call one service method, and map the service's typed errors to the transport's error. Nothing else.” The path instructions apply the same rule to this file.

Include serverVersion in the in-memory resume check.

The in-memory path checks only omissionKey, while the cache path also checks serverVersion. After a server upgrade, serverVersion can change while authoritativeOmission remains unchanged. The client can then resume the old cursor even when the server rebuilt projections. Compare the current version with the snapshot lineage, and treat an undefined lineage vouch as null.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @emmems

Eemmems3d ago

Fixed in 13330c570f. The in-memory resume now also requires the server version of the snapshot lineage to match the session's, so a reconnect to an upgraded server reloads over HTTP. Test: reloads over HTTP when a reconnect reaches an upgraded server (failed before the fix: 1 HTTP load instead of 2).

CcoderabbitaiBot3d ago

@emmems The supplied code confirms that in-memory resume now checks both omissionKey and the snapshot lineage’s serverVersion, with an undefined lineage version treated as null. This addresses the finding. The reported regression test covers reconnecting to an upgraded server.

Discard retained cwd snapshots when the provider can no longer scan.

When a provider replacement has no snapshotForCwd, ProviderRegistry can retain the previous instance’s cwd snapshot. A serverRefreshProviders request with workspaceSnapshotsOnDemand and providerCatalogsOnDemand enabled then returns that snapshot before the machine-catalog fallback. Clients can continue to show obsolete commands.

Use the current instance’s snapshotForCwd capability before selecting a retained snapshot. If the capability is absent, return the replacement provider’s machine catalog as the complete snapshot. Add a regression case that exercises this refresh path.

Not changing this here. The retention is not introduced by this PR: main already keeps the previous instance's workspaceSnapshots when a replacement reports none (ProviderRegistry.ts:292-295), and main's refresh path already returns them filtered by cwd (ws.ts:2443). The provider-replacement case deserves its own fix.

CcoderabbitaiBot3d ago

@emmems Understood. Your comparison identifies existing behavior, not a regression introduced by this PR. I withdraw this finding from the PR review. The provider-replacement case can remain a separate fix.

Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue?

Re the CodeRabbit follow-up on ws.ts 3267-3273 (move catalog filtering into the provider service): that code comes from #28487, and its author already declined the same suggestion there, because it is per-client wire shaping. This PR does not change it.

Outside diff Tag shell snapshots with their originating subscription.

339-339: External image Major · Data Integrity & Integration · Heavy lift

Tag shell snapshots with their originating subscription.

The apply block at shell.ts:339 reads activeSubscription when an item is applied, not when the item was produced. subscribeDynamic runs through Stream.switchMap, and the repository notes that switchMap can buffer values across a session change. If a snapshot from a superseded session is applied after the new subscription has written its serverVersion, the vouch at lines 340-347 records the new version. The hasAuthoritativeSnapshot check at lines 474-476 can then accept stale rows as current, and the persisted vouch can carry the wrong version.

Carry the session or subscription identity with each item. Use subscribeDynamicWithSession from rpc/client.ts, then compare that session with the current subscription before the vouch or authoritativeOmission is written. Discard items from superseded subscriptions.

Re the CodeRabbit follow-up on shell.ts 339 (tag shell snapshots with their originating subscription): fixed in 2e92c03ee8. The shell subscription uses subscribeDynamicWithSession, and items from a session that is no longer active are dropped before any state, vouch, or authoritative-omission write. The new subscription resumes from state that was applied, or reloads. Test: drops a superseded session's snapshot applied after the next session subscribes, which failed before the fix.

Serialize the activeSubscription write with snapshotWriteLock.

applyItems holds snapshotWriteLock for its whole commit. makeSubscribeInput writes activeSubscription without that lock. A superseded applyItems call can suspend mid-commit, for example at Clock.currentTimeMillis. The new session can then become active before the old call resumes. The old call still uses its captured subscription and writes lineageVouch, authoritativeOmission, latestLive, and state with the old omissionKey and serverVersion.

A recheck before these writes does not close the gap. The writes are sequential Ref and SubscriptionRef operations, and the runtime can yield between them. makeSubscribeInput can install the new session during that yield. A new session that reads the superseded vouch can resume from memory and keep the superseded snapshot until the next authoritative snapshot.

Take the lock for the activeSubscription write. A session switch then waits for an in-flight commit, and a superseded commit cannot start after the switch:

Suggested fix
diff
1- yield* Ref.set(activeSubscription, { session, omissionKey, serverVersion });
2+ yield* snapshotWriteLock.withPermit(
3+ Ref.set(activeSubscription, { session, omissionKey, serverVersion }),
4+ );

With this change, the superseded-session test must call Deferred.succeed(releaseApply, undefined) before it awaits nextSubscribed. Otherwise the test waits on a switch that cannot proceed while the blocked apply holds the lock.

Not taking the lock here; I don't think it closes a real gap. A commit already in flight started while its session was active, and it writes the values it captured: that session's omission key and server version. Those correctly describe the rows it applies. Whatever the new session reads:

  • (a) it reads state from before the commit and resumes from a lower cursor, so replay covers the gap;
  • (b) it reads the commit's vouch with a different server version, so the version check fails and it reloads over HTTP;
  • (c) same key and version: the cursor is at or below the committed sequence, and deltas at or below the current sequence are skipped.

The new session's HTTP snapshot also takes snapshotWriteLock, so it always lands after that commit. Items buffered after the switch are the case that actually happens, and 2e92c03ee8 drops those. Locking the activeSubscription write would also make the regression test race the switch against the release of the blocked apply, which loses determinism.

CcoderabbitaiBot3d ago

@emmems You're right. I treated an in-flight commit as if it could assign the new session's metadata to old rows. It uses the captured subscription metadata instead.

The resume checks and replay handle the cases you describe. The HTTP snapshot also applies through snapshotWriteLock, so it cannot be overwritten by that earlier commit. The producer guard handles buffered batches that start applying after the session switch.

I withdraw the lock recommendation. My finding did not establish a correctness gap that requires this change.

Return a complete catalog when the provider cannot scan a cwd.

If the current instance lacks snapshotForCwd and has no cwd snapshot, ProviderRegistry.refreshWorkspaceSnapshot returns without a scan. This fallback still sets slashCommandsPending: true, so the pending state cannot clear and can cause repeated refreshes. Check the current instance’s scan capability before setting the flag. The new test sets scansCwd = false before asserting this pending result, so update that assertion too. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @emmems

Eemmems3d ago

Fixed in e7d710dcbc. The on-demand refresh now falls back to the pending machine catalog only for an instance that has snapshotForCwd. An instance that cannot scan already keeps its machine catalog in the config stream (it is not in catalogsPerCwd), so the refresh returns no cwd snapshot for it. ws.test.ts covers both cases: a non-scanning instance gets [], and a scanning instance whose scan failed still gets the pending fallback.

CcoderabbitaiBot3d ago

@emmems Thanks for the fix. The supplied ws.ts confirms that the pending fallback now requires snapshotForCwd. Non-scanning instances retain their machine catalog in the config stream and receive no synthetic pending cwd snapshot. This addresses the finding.

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 responding on behalf of Bil0000

Hey @emmems, nice find. The cold-start resume is a real gain for mobile: iOS kills the app often, and downloading the full thread list again on weak wifi hurts. We built on your work in #30732, and it keeps your 3 commits with your authorship.

What we changed and why:

  • Parallel replacement socket: not included. That connect skips progress, so it gets only the 15 s per-route timeout and none of the 75 s sync budget. On a thin link it also uses the same bandwidth as the probe it races. We had no measurements to show that it helps, so we left it out for now. A separate PR with numbers would be good.
  • One vouch rule for every resume. One canResume check covers memory and cache: omission key, server version, and age under 12 h. When the cursor is too old or the gap is too large, the server already sends a full snapshot (canReplayPersistedRange in apps/server/src/ws.ts), so a retried resume no longer forces an HTTP load.
  • One bug fixed. After a valid cache resume, generation stayed 0. Thread families, older settled threads, and search wait for generation > 0, so they stayed blocked. A synchronized marker now bumps it once.
  • Smaller: about 500 added lines in 7 files, against about 1,000 on top of #28487.

#30732 is stacked on #28487. Reviews of either one are welcome. If you see a case we broke, tell us there.

Closing in favor of #30732, which carries the cold-start cache resume and the catalog fix from this PR on top of #28487, with a simpler vouch rule and the generation fix. Thanks @Bil0000. The parallel replacement socket is left out of #30732; I will bring it back as its own PR only with iPhone measurements that show it helps.
