fix(server): roll back failed relay configuration

[Gigioxx]

Relinking could stop the current tunnel and leave a mixture of old and new relay secrets when a later write failed. Snapshot the six values, restore attempted writes on failure or interruption, and apply the endpoint runtime only after persistence succeeds. Restore the previous configuration if the connector cannot start. Serialize relinking with unlink, shutdown release, and link-state reads so a rollback cannot overwrite another relink.

Related to #11898. No existing PR covers this rollback; #10579 addresses single-secret creation and #8352 addresses tunnel readiness.

Verification:

• Reproduced before the fix through an isolated browser and disposable server: HTTP 500 on the second secret rename, with only the relay URL changed.
• After the fix, injected EPERM on that rename while keeping the original file readable: HTTP 500, all six files byte-for-byte unchanged, and unchanged link state. Removing the fault allows the publish-only relink to complete.
• 44 focused cloud tests and 7 selected HTTP integration tests pass. Coverage includes failures before and after each write, absent/existing secrets, connector failure, and interruption with a queued relink.
• Server typecheck, scoped lint, formatting, and Claude Sonnet review pass.

This is local rollback for handled failures, not a crash-safe storage transaction. It cannot guarantee restoration if storage keeps failing and does not undo a relay-side link already committed before the local request. Browser verification used synthetic credentials and a seeded managed configuration; no production relay or live tunnel was changed, and native Windows execution was not tested. The separate UI recovery issue #11899 remains out of scope.

Implemented with GPT-6 in the Codex harness. Reviewed by Claude Sonnet in Claude Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved reliability when updating cloud relay configurations by coordinating concurrent changes safely.
  • Failed updates now restore previously saved secrets and the prior managed endpoint runtime where possible.
  • Invalid saved runtime configurations are rejected for managed updates without affecting publish-only or cleanup flows.
  • Clearer errors are now reported when the managed endpoint cannot be restored after a failed update.
  • Cloud link reads, unlink operations, and shutdown handling coordinate safely with configuration updates.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for failed writes, restoration failures, interrupted updates, endpoint startup failures, and invalid runtime configurations.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This production change reorders relay configuration, adds rollback of persisted credentials and managed connector state, and serializes relink, unlink, shutdown, and read operations. Although narrowly scoped and well tested, its cross-operation lifecycle effects merit human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

applyCloudRelayConfig now validates saved runtime configuration, serializes cloud operations, and restores secrets and runtime state after failures. Tests cover invalid configuration, interrupted writes, rollback, and queued updates.

Changes

Cloud relay configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Transactional relay configuration apps/server/src/cloud/http.ts	applyCloudRelayConfig now serializes operations, validates saved runtime configuration before managed updates, and restores prior secrets and runtime state after failures. Shutdown, read, and unlink operations use the same semaphore.
Configuration failure and concurrency tests apps/server/src/cloud/http.test.ts, apps/server/src/server.test.ts	Tests cover secret-write failures, runtime restoration, invalid saved configurations, interrupted writes, rollback, queued configuration updates, and disabled cleanup behavior.

520-533: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle failed runtime restoration. When an active Cloudflare connector receives an unsupported replacement, ManagedEndpointRuntime.applyConfig stops and clears the active connector before returning unsupported. Rollback then calls applyConfig(previousRuntime), which must resolve and spawn the old connector again. If resolution or spawning fails, rollback returns failed, but applyCloudRelayConfig ignores that status and returns only the original update error. Detect and surface the rollback failure instead of treating the previous runtime as restored.
