fix(client-runtime): connection status follows a re-registered environment

[BearHuddleston]

Problem

Re-pairing a saved environment could leave its row stuck on the previous connection's status, often a stale "Reconnecting…" error, even though the new connection was up and working. Switching the environment off and on cleared it.

Registering an environment again replaces its supervisor even when the catalog entry is identical, which is exactly what a re-pair produces: same target and profile, new credential (stored separately). followStream only switched to a new supervisor when the entry changed, so status and every durable stream stayed on the closed supervisor and kept its last state.

Fix

followStream now follows the environment's current supervisor from the registry's service scopes, so a reinstalled supervisor is picked up whether or not the entry changed.

Verification

• New registry.test.ts case: an identical re-registration moves a durable stream to the new supervisor. It hangs without the change.
• packages/client-runtime/src/connection tests: 103 pass. Client-runtime and web typecheck, lint, and format are clean.
• Found while re-pairing a Tailcat environment for feat: first-class Tailcat networking #9525: the client reconnected within seconds (its server-config stream stayed healthy for minutes), but the row kept the old error until toggled. Bearer re-pairs through updateBearer take the same path.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a focused client-runtime bug fix with a targeted regression test, but the new supervisor-switching stream filters the removal of the retired supervisor. During a slow replacement, an old durable stream may remain attached, leaving a concrete unresolved runtime-correctness concern.

Notes:

• Diff unchanged. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

followStream now switches to a replacement supervisor when the registry observes a change. A test verifies that re-registering the same target produces a different supervisor instance in the stream.

Systems and components

• observed — packages/client-runtime (library) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in packages/client-runtime/src/connection/registry.test.ts: Added a test that starts a relay connection, subscribes to its supervisor through followStream, and re-registers the same target. It verifies the stream emits a distinct supervisor instance after re-registration.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/client-runtime/src/connection/registry.ts: Added the effect/Predicate import for filtering undefined supervisor values.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/client-runtime/src/connection/registry.ts: followStream now switches the provided stream to each supervisor emitted by supervisorChanges, replacing its one-time use of the initially acquired supervisor.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/client-runtime/src/connection/registry.ts: Added supervisorChanges, which observes the current and subsequent service scopes, emits defined supervisors, and suppresses consecutive emissions of the same supervisor instance.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Emit supervisor removal before waiting for a replacement.

During an identical re-registration, closeServiceScope removes the supervisor from serviceScopes. This filter discards that removal. The inner Stream.switchMap therefore does not cancel the old child stream while the replacement is being created. If replacement connection is slow, followStream can remain attached to the retired supervisor. Emit an absence state and switch to Stream.empty until the new supervisor arrives. Effect’s switchMap interrupts the previous child only when it receives a new value. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
