fix(server): refresh idle sessions after provider settings change#31256
Problem
Saving provider credentials can leave an existing chat using the old environment until the app restarts. The provider instance is rebuilt, but ProviderSessionManager.open returns the cached runtime before consulting the current adapter. Claude's runtime retains the environment captured by the previous adapter.
Fixes #31249.
Change
On the next idle session open, compare the cached adapter with the current instance's adapter. If it changed, release the old runtime and reopen through the existing native-session resume path. Defer replacement while turns, background work, or sibling runs are active, including siblings still starting. A failed background-work probe conservatively keeps the session.
Cache auth-guard wrappers per provider instance so repeated registry lookups have stable adapter identity. This prevents unchanged instances from being mistaken for replacements.
Scope and approval
This is a focused fix for stale provider configuration: settings already rebuild provider instances, and session reuse currently bypasses that rebuilt instance. It adds no setting, contract, or provider feature. Submitted under the focused obvious-bug exception; the linked report has not yet been maintainer-triaged.
The comparison applies to any provider-instance configuration replacement, not only credentials. Registry lookup failures now surface as session-open errors rather than reusing obsolete configuration. That is intentional, including the transient interval while an instance is rebuilding.
Verification
- Added a synthetic regression that opens a session with an empty token, replaces the registry adapter with one capturing a saved test token, and reopens the same session. Before the fix, the second adapter was never opened; afterward, it is opened with the original native thread and resume state.
- Added background-work, failed-probe, and sibling-startup cases. The sibling-startup case failed before its guard was added and now passes. Extended the busy-sibling test to verify an adapter replacement does not interrupt an active turn.
- Extended the auth-guard registry test to verify stable identity within one instance and changed identity after instance replacement.
vp run check:changed origin/main: formatting, lint, both knip checks, affected GraphQL checks, typechecking for 3 packages, and all 59 tests across 3 affected test files passed.
Focused runtime-fixture transcript:
| 1 | vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.test.ts -t 'refreshes provider credentials' --reporter verbose |
| 2 | |
| 3 | PASS idle |
| 4 | PASS background |
| 5 | PASS probe-error |
| 6 | PASS sibling-starting |
| 7 | Test Files 1 passed (1) |
| 8 | Tests 4 passed | 50 skipped (54) |
The transcript uses fake provider runtimes; a packaged desktop build and live provider calls with this patch were not tested. Review also noted that non-turn maintenance such as a concurrent rollback is not represented by the existing busy-turn guard; that shared-runtime concurrency case remains outside this patch's verification.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at 5002ca3
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Idle provider sessions will pick up changed provider settings on their next open, while active or background work prevents refresh. Stable adapter identity and existing lifecycle guards limit unnecessary restarts and interruption risk.

The registry caches auth-guarded adapters by provider instance. The session manager records the adapter used by each live session and checks for pending work before replacing a session after an adapter change.

Refreshing an idle session after a provider settings change works for the tested cases. Two narrow edge cases remain: a pending unanswered prompt could be dropped on refresh, and a rare cleanup failure could fail a single open that would succeed on retry. Both are worth addressing but are not serious blockers.

Takeover fixup:
Test Server 3andTest Server 5failed because two replay test wrappers (ThreadMergeBack.integration.test.ts,OpenCode2PendingSnapshots.evidence.test.ts) built a new adapter object on everyregistry.get. With this PR's adapter identity check, each reopen looked like a settings change and released the live session. The wrappers now memoize per inner adapter, matching what the production registry does. No production code changed.- Merged current
mainagain (merge commit, no rebase). It conflicted inProviderSessionManager.openwith main's linked-environments refresh (#26737). Both refreshes now run in order: the adapter-change release first, thenreleaseForLinkedEnvironments, using a singleregistry.getat the top ofopen. check:changedpasses (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests), andapps/server/src/orchestration-v2passes in full: 122 files, 2358 tests.
On CodeRabbit's outside-diff note about in-flight rollbacks (ProviderSessionManager.ts:2189): the window is real but narrow. It needs a provider settings change and a sibling-thread open on the same shared session while a rollback's thread/revert is in flight. The proposed fix is a new session-level rollback reservation, which is a bigger change than this PR. It's left for a follow-up.

Add the unfinished-records guard before releasing on adapter change.
The refresh path decides on three inputs only:
- the runtime probe
hasPendingBackgroundWork, otherWorkingThreads, which excludesinput.threadId, andbusyTurns.
It never checks the following, which releaseForLinkedEnvironments (Lines 1833-1861) guards through keepIf: hasUnfinishedRecords:
- Pending
runtimeRequestswhoseresponseCapabilityisliveon this session. pendingBackgroundTaskson the opening thread's own provider threads.
A runless request is one the pump persists directly, such as a project-trust or login prompt. It has no busy turn and no run. If the adapter changes while such a request is pending, releaseEntry expires or cancels it. The user has not answered it.
keepIf runs under requestEventPermit, so it also covers a runless request that is being persisted at that moment. The new path has no equivalent protection.
Extract hasUnfinishedRecords into a shared helper. Pass it as keepIf here.

Do not fail the open when the post-removal release bookkeeping fails.
releaseEntry removes the entry from the live map before it closes the scope and writes the release records. Any failure at Lines 2454-2462 therefore happens after the stale runtime is already gone. Examples are a SQL commit failure or a failed scope close. releaseEntry already schedules background retries for the records.
The new code maps the failure to ProviderSessionOpenError. The user's open fails once, although the next call would succeed because the entry is gone.
releaseForLinkedEnvironments handles the same situation with logReleaseFailure(providerSessionId). Use it here too. The flow then reaches the live and existing lookups and opens a fresh runtime.
