Fixes #13266.

Problem

A remote environment that was switched off (from the unavailable-server banner or Settings → Connections) is started with initiallyDesired: false and stays in the available phase; no WebSocket is ever opened. The welcome wizard renders every phase other than connected as Connecting… and keeps Continue disabled while that row is selected, and it selects every environment as it appears, so the wizard cannot be completed. Re-pairing the same server does not help: EnvironmentRegistry.register keeps previous.enabled (intentional for label / URL edits since #11478), so the environment stays off and the row keeps saying Connecting….

Fix

Both parts from the triage:

  • A successful pairing turns the environment on. registerPairingConnection (client-runtime, shared by the web wizard and mobile connectPairingUrl) calls registry.setEnabled(id, true) right after register. The preserve-on-register behaviour is untouched, so label and URL edits still keep the flag; the enable happens only on the pairing path, after the pair succeeded.
  • The wizard shows the real state. resolveWizardEnvironmentStatus maps entry.enabled and the connection phase to Off, Connected, Offline, Connection failed: , Not supported or Connecting…. An off row gets a Turn on button that calls the same environmentCatalog.setEnabled command Settings uses. The readiness rule for Continue is unchanged.

Tests

  • onboarding.test.ts: registerPairing registers and then enables the environment, in that order; fails without the fix.
  • WelcomeWizard.logic.test.ts: an off environment reads as Off in every phase; the non-connected phases get their own labels and only available / connecting / reconnecting read as Connecting….

Typecheck for client-runtime and web and targeted lint are clean.

After review: an unsupported server (kept off by the registry, setEnabled(true) is refused) shows Not supported: with no Turn on; a failed Turn on reports its error under the row (only while the row is still off) instead of leaving it silently off; a re-pair also clears a stale unsupportedReason (the pair has just checked the server) so setEnabled cannot refuse it; Effect.catchTags per the Effect convention.

Evidence

Two throwaway local servers (A is the client's own, B paired through the wizard, then switched off in Settings → Connections), real browser against the dev server, cropped to the wizard dialog.

Before After
B switched off: stuck at Connecting…, Continue disabled before off B switched off: Off with Turn on after off
Re-paired B with a fresh link: still Connecting… before repaired Re-paired B with a fresh link: turned on and Connected after repaired
After Turn on: Connected, Continue enabled after turned on

Implemented with Claude Code (Claude Fable 5.1).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The onboarding wizard now shows when a computer is unsupported and explains why.
    • Turning on a computer now displays an error if the action fails.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Pairing a computer now turns it on, including when it was previously switched off or marked unsupported.

…d pairing turns it on

A remote that was switched off stays in the catalog and never opens a
socket, but the wizard painted every phase except connected as
"Connecting…" and kept Continue disabled while that row was selected.
Pairing the same server again did not help: registration keeps the
previous entry's off flag, which is right for label or URL edits.

The wizard now shows the real state (Off with a Turn on action, Offline,
Connection failed with the reason), and a successful pairing turns the
environment on, because it is an explicit request to connect. The flag is
still preserved for plain edits.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — Production onboarding now adds a Turn on action and causes pairing to persistently re-enable previously disabled environments, which can start connection supervisors and retries across shared runtime code. An unresolved medium finding also identifies an unsupported disabled environment where the new action is shown but cannot succeed.

Not approved because:

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The welcome wizard displays status based on an environment’s enabled state, unsupported reason, and connection phase. It offers a “Turn on” action for disabled environments and displays an error if that action fails. Successful pairing clears compatibility state and enables the registered environment.

Environment onboarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wizard status and controls
apps/web/src/components/onboarding/WelcomeWizard.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/onboarding/WelcomeWizard.tsx, apps/web/src/components/onboarding/WelcomeWizard.logic.test.ts
The status resolver handles unsupported environments and maps disabled environments to “Off.” The wizard displays resolved status, offers a “Turn on” action, and shows turn-on errors. Tests cover status mappings.
Clear compatibility and enable after pairing
packages/client-runtime/src/connection/onboarding.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/connection/onboarding.test.ts
Pairing registration clears compatibility state before enabling the environment. The test checks that registration, compatibility clearing, and enabling occur in order.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 95fc0

The wizard can show an off computer and offer Turn on, and successful re-pairing enables it without restoring a stale compatibility reason after restart. No identified issue blocks merging.

Comment thread apps/web/src/components/onboarding/WelcomeWizard.tsx Outdated
An unsupported server is kept off by the registry and cannot be turned on,
so its row shows the reason instead of the action. A failed Turn on now
reports its error under the row instead of leaving the row silently off.
Also uses catchTags for the single known failure, per the Effect convention.

…rn on error hides once the row is on

A pair has just checked the server, so a reason left from an earlier
incompatible version must not keep setEnabled from turning it on. The Turn
on error is only shown while the row is still off.
