Fixes #11939 (triaged and accepted as a relay bug).

Problem

An iOS Live Activity keeps saying "T3 Done" for hours after the last turn finishes. The relay only recomputes a card when an environment publishes or the app re-registers its token, so a phone left idle never gets the live_activity_end that the 15 minute display window promises. The 5 minute cron prunes the old rows but never ends the card.

Fix

This follows the fix suggested in the triage comment.

  • The 5 minute cron calls AgentActivityPublisher.endIdleLiveActivities. It lists armed cards with no delivery in the last 15 minutes (LiveActivities.listIdleArmedTargets), recomputes each user's aggregate, and sends a silent end when the aggregate is empty. If the user has live work again, that work's own publish owns the card, so the sweep leaves it alone.
  • A queued contentless end now rechecks at delivery time and is skipped if the user has anything to show again, live or recently finished. Ends for a device that turned Live Activities off still go out. This addresses the races the review bots found.

Verification

  • vp test run infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ infra/relay/src/http/Api.test.ts: all passed (174 in agentActivity/). The new tests:
    • AgentActivityPublisher.test.ts: at 1 hour the sweep asks for cards idle since 00:45. It sends nothing while a running row exists, and sends one silent aggregate: null delivery after the row is gone.
    • ApnsDeliveries.test.ts: a queued end is skipped with "Stale APNs end job skipped." while the user has live work, or work that finished inside the display window. With Live Activities turned off it still goes to APNs. I confirmed the skip test fails with the recheck reverted.
  • tsc --noEmit in infra/relay passes, and lint passes.
  • Not checked: a real device against a deployed relay. The Live Activity change here is the existing end delivery, now triggered by the cron. No client code changes.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a five-minute production sweep that terminates idle iOS Live Activities and changes queued APNs end-job decisions. The intent is focused and tested, but the autonomous cron and user-visible delivery side effects make the runtime impact substantial enough for human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The relay checks for idle Live Activity targets on the five-minute cron. It sends a null-aggregate replay when a target remains and the user has no active state. APNs delivery also checks queued contentless ends against current activity state.

Changes

Idle Live Activity termination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Idle target selection
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/LiveActivities.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/FcmDeliveries.test.ts
listIdleArmedTargets returns user and device pairs whose activity push token is non-null and whose coalesced timestamp is earlier than the supplied cutoff. Query failures map to LiveActivityIdleTargetListPersistenceError.
End-only replay
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/AgentActivityPublisher.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/AgentActivityPublisher.test.ts
endIdleLiveActivities queries targets before the terminal display TTL cutoff. It sends a replay with a null aggregate only when the target still exists and no active state remains. The test checks the 45-minute cutoff and delivery behavior.
Stale end delivery
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.test.ts
A queued contentless end is skipped and completed as stale when the device has Live Activities enabled and the user currently has content to show. Disabled Live Activities bypass this check. Persistence-check failures allow the end to proceed.
Cron integration and test mocks
infra/relay/src/worker.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/MobileRegistrations.test.ts, infra/relay/src/http/Api.test.ts
The five-minute cron runs idle Live Activity termination alongside existing tasks. It logs non-interruption failures and uses concurrency three. Test mocks provide the added methods.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 296bd

Idle Live Activities are now ended by the five-minute cron, and queued ends are skipped when content is still displayable. No merge-blocking risk is evident from the reviewed changes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 296bd

The cleanup reuses existing device-ownership and signed-delivery controls, and preserves cards when current activity remains. No security vulnerability was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns concurrent delivery, queue backlog, and deployment rollback rather than demonstrated expansion of access or privileges.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The scheduled selector can inspect idle armed targets across users in the relay's data store. Each resulting end remains bound to one persisted user/device pair and its current activity token; aggregate lookup is scoped to that user.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Device registration derives user identity from the authenticated principal and requires the mobile registration DPoP scope. Environment publishing checks environment identity and request signatures. Delivery jobs are signed and verified, and stale device tokens are rejected before sending. These controls constrain the externally supplied registration and activity data used by the sweep.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The freshness check narrows stale-end races but is not atomic with APNs sending or delivery bookkeeping. Concurrent publishing or re-registration after validation remains within the existing read-then-send model. Same-device ordering and real-device effects were unavailable, so this residual window is not treated as an established security finding.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider coalescing pending idle ends by device and token generation to limit redundant queue work during extended delivery delays.
  • proposed — Preserve the stale-end guard in rollback builds, or define how queued idle ends are drained or quarantined before reverting to a consumer without that protection.

The 5 minute cron now ends armed iOS cards that have heard nothing for the
15 minute display window once their aggregate is empty. A queued contentless
end is skipped when the user has live work again, unless the device turned
Live Activities off.

[claude-opus-5-5] RESPONDING ON BEHALF OF ISHAAN

Re-checked after the orchestrator V2 merge (#2829). This PR only changes infra/relay, which V2 does not touch. The PR head rebases onto main (fd7ee2c) with no conflicts, and on that rebase vp test run infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ infra/relay/src/http/Api.test.ts gives 201 passed (15 files). tsc --noEmit in infra/relay and lint pass. The PR head is unchanged.
