A protocol mismatch could persist an environment as switched off, leaving it disconnected after the host became compatible again. Compatibility now pauses the runtime without overwriting the user’s saved on/off choice. Clearing the block reconnects enabled environments; manually disabled environments remain off. Recreated leases respect the block, and a relaunch does not retain an implicit switch-off. Unsupported environments remain excluded from workspace navigation, load balancing and GitHub routing, including an unsupported primary environment in the settings lists. Paused hosts cannot force strict PR reads or become routing alternatives, preserving the ordinary held-summary path. Mobile’s new-task picker reports client incompatibility instead of incorrectly claiming the connected host has no projects.

Fixes #15051. Maintainer takeover of @vitalyiegorov’s original contribution, preserving the contributor commits and merging current main. Conflicts were adapted to main’s initial supervisor intent and React compiler conventions. Existing persisted-Off entries are deliberately not migrated: they cannot be distinguished from intentional user choices. A stale host descriptor or an already-Off Android entry may therefore need separate diagnosis; this is prevention of new implicit-Off states.

Tests were consolidated in existing files: registry 47 → 45, thread-shell 8 → 9 parameterized cases, with 14 fewer lines overall. Preflight rejection, recovery, relaunch, manual disablement, recreated platform leases and unsupported thread visibility are covered without sleeps. Five focused suites pass: 77 → 76 tests. Main fails the three regression assertions; rebuilt head passes all 76. The existing PR-routing table covers disabled and enabled-unsupported alternatives: 69 → 71 tests, with the unsupported case failing before the routing guard because it forced allowStale: false (27 ms, no timer). Routing, registry and thread-shell suites pass all 125 cases after that fix. An existing onboarding assertion was updated from implicit Off to preserved enabled/unsupported state, with no new test cases; onboarding remains 16 tests. The six related routing/registry/thread-shell/onboarding/host-update/compatibility suites pass all 148 tests. Another 47 tests pass in eight existing mobile suites after the new-task compatibility message fix. Scoped client-runtime, web and mobile typechecks, touched lint, format and whitespace checks pass.

Verification uses headless Linux Chromium, isolated worktree state and a second real local server authenticated with a disposable bearer credential. The app connects to that server; a test-only command invokes the real registry’s compatibility service to simulate rejection and clearance. On main, clearance leaves the row Off. On the rebuilt head, it reconnects over the real socket. Manual switch-off remains Off after another block/clear cycle; a page relaunch while blocked reconnects to the compatible server. Actual wire-protocol mismatch, an in-app host upgrade and live Relay discovery were not exercised in this browser flow; their runtime paths were reviewed and focused tests cover preflight rejection. Both captures use the same synthetic environment, initial enabled choice, 1280×800 viewport and scroll. A browser-only fallback font replaces missing container fonts. Baseline production sources are main 1451e7cb23; web proof was captured at 31f453439f. Subsequent commits correct the mobile new-task incompatibility message and GitHub-routing eligibility; neither changes the captured Connections recovery behavior. No fixtures or evidence assets are committed.

Before — compatibility clears, environment stays Off

After — compatibility clears, enabled environment reconnects

Runtime block and recovery recording

Four independent full-diff review rounds were run with Claude and Codex. Confirmed findings were fixed: mobile new-task compatibility messaging, unsupported PR-routing alternatives forcing strict reads, and an obsolete onboarding assertion. Both fourth-round reviews found no blockers at 4622dfb415; Claude independently reran all 148 related tests at that head. Optional preselection/status/error-detail UX and unreachable error-type cleanup remain outside this fix.

Landing integration merged main a71a6c37d1 into the contributor branch at f3725433eb, without rebasing. The registry-test conflict retains main’s learned-route and saved-URL retry coverage while checking runtime incompatibility separately from saved enablement. No additional production behavior was introduced. At this head, six focused runtime suites pass 153 tests, nine focused mobile suites pass 69 tests, and three focused web suites pass 20 tests. Scoped client-runtime, web and mobile typechecks and touched-file lint, format and whitespace checks pass. One fresh parallel whole-diff audit by Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol found zero confirmed findings. Current CI passes Test, Test Web, Check, Build and Typecheck, Lint, all eight server shards and both Macroscope Correctness/Approvability checks. Rust, Mobile Native Static Analysis and Release Smoke skipped. CodeRabbit passed on the same head after one requested review; its automatic review was paused. All current-head check/status contexts completed successfully or skipped before merging. The earlier Test Web failure is superseded by the successful current-head run.

Native macOS, Windows, Electron desktop, iOS, Android and live remote Relay/tunnel sessions were not verified. The shared runtime change serves web and mobile; native recovery still needs device verification.

Implementation: Codex GPT-6.1 Sol; tests: Codex GPT-6 Astra (high); adversarial review: Claude Opus 5.5 and Codex GPT-6 Sol through T3 Code delegated tasks. Integrated and verified in T3 Code using the Codex harness.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at f372543

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused compatibility-recovery fix that preserves users’ saved environment choices, keeps incompatible hosts out of active navigation and routing, and reconnects enabled hosts after recovery. The runtime changes are bounded and supported by targeted regression coverage, with no schema, deployment, security, billing, or static-analysis configuration impact.

📝 Walkthrough

Compatibility rejections no longer change an environment’s saved enabled setting. Unsupported environments remain disconnected and are excluded from routing and eligible lists. The mobile route displays “Client not supported” for unsupported connections.

Changes: Connection compatibility handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track compatibility separately from enabled state packages/client-runtime/src/connection/registry.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/connection/registry.test.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/connection/onboarding.test.ts	The registry records compatibility status without changing the saved enabled setting. Unsupported environments disconnect, and enabled environments can reconnect when compatibility clears. Tests cover discovery, retry, recovery, relaunch, and platform refresh.
Exclude unsupported environments from consumers packages/client-runtime/src/state/connections.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/pullRequestRouting.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/pullRequests.test.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/threadShell.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/NewTaskRouteScreen.tsx	Environment lists, pull-request routing, and thread navigation exclude unsupported environments. The web settings list filters unsupported connections, and the mobile route displays “Client not supported” when no shell snapshot has loaded.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f3725

The compatibility behavior is mergeable with a bounded test-coverage gap: keep the alternate session available in the routing test so it protects against future regressions.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f3725

Compatibility recovery can now reconnect previously enabled environments, making consistent blocking across connection and routing paths important. The inspected paths preserve manual disablement and existing permission checks. No introduced security concern was established, although production authorization and platform behavior were not comprehensively validated.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A remote compatibility result affects the identified environment's client session and the aggregate workspace views that include it. The sensitive downstream path examined is PR routing among registered environments; preserving enabled does not itself grant cross-environment access.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The existing discovery watcher applies descriptors only to a matching single-relay-route registration. Its freshness check prevents a replayed compatible health result from clearing a newer socket rejection, limiting which remote status can trigger the newly automatic recovery.
• observed — When compatibility or permission checks disallow alternate routing, reads retain the original source request rather than forcing allowStale=false. Local source operations remain distinct from cross-host permission, and the existing guarded RPC path requires a current session and authorization for methods with required scopes.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The supervisor rechecks current intent before publishing an established session and clears session/prepared references when an attempt exits or the supervisor is finalized. Retry-now signals do not independently set desired=true, so they do not undo the disconnect intent applied by compatibility blocking.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#15051] requires compatibility to remain runtime state, reconnect enabled environments after compatibility clears, reconnect after relaunch, and preserve a user-selected off state. The diff removes the compatibility write to persisted disabled registrations in registry.ts, seeds supervisors from entry.enabled && entry.unsupportedReason === undefined, reconnects enabled leases when compatibility clears, and preserves unsupported state during platform registration. registry.test.ts covers rejection, recovery, relaunch, persistence, and manual disablement. threadShell.test.ts covers exclusion while unsupported and restoration after recovery. Existing persisted-Off entries remain outside the fix as stated in the PR scope.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed mobile empty state, workspace navigation filter, load-balancing filter, GitHub-routing guard, and related tests all handle environments blocked by the compatibility state introduced for [#15051]. They prevent unsupported environments from appearing usable while preserving the saved enabled choice. The settings and onboarding assertion updates align with the same state transition. The reviewed diff shows no unrelated change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is complete and follows the repository template. It explains the problem, implementation, scope, linked issue, verification results, UI evidence, limitations, and agent details. It also documents maintainer takeover and approval context, although the explicit triage-comment link is referenced in the surrounding PR context rather than directly in the description.

@coderabbitai Thanks. On the two warnings and the hardening note:

• Description check: this ran before the body was updated. Scope now links the triage of [Bug]: Remote environments stay switched off after a protocol mismatch, even once the host is updated #15051, which confirms the bug and this intended behavior: [Bug]: Remote environments stay switched off after a protocol mismatch, even once the host is updated #15051 (comment)
• Docstring coverage: the new shouldConnect and the changed enabledEnvironmentIds both have doc comments. setCompatibility keeps its inline note. Repo guidance is not to add comments just to hit a coverage number.
• Cancellation consistency: these steps already run under the per-environment withLeaseLock, in the same order as before. This PR only stops writing enabled and adds a reconnect, so it doesn't introduce that concern.

@vitalyiegorov Thanks for the clarification and guidance. I checked the current description, linked triage, and code.

• Description check: The updated body links the triage of #15051 and states the intended behavior. The warning is stale. Maintainer approval of the fix direction remains separate.
• Docstring coverage: shouldConnect and enabledEnvironmentIds have doc comments. setCompatibility explains the behavior inline. Extra comments solely to meet a coverage number are not warranted.
• Cancellation consistency: setCompatibility retains the per-environment withLeaseLock and the existing update order. The diff does not establish a new cancellation defect, so the PR-specific hardening note is not warranted.

I withdraw both warnings and the hardening note.

Learning: In pingdotgg/t3code, repository guidance is not to add comments solely to meet a docstring coverage number. Evaluate whether TypeScript functions have useful documentation, including existing doc comments and inline explanations, rather than requesting redundant comments to satisfy a coverage threshold.

Timestamp: 2026-10-03T06:00:13.284Z
Learning: In pingdotgg/t3code, issue #15051 confirms that protocol incompatibility is runtime state, not a persisted user switch-off. In packages/client-runtime/src/connection/registry.ts, EnvironmentRegistry.setCompatibility must preserve enabled and the persisted switched-off list, disconnect while unsupported, and reconnect when compatibility clears only if enabled remains true. Previously persisted switch-offs cannot be safely migrated because they cannot be distinguished from explicit user choices.

Following this from #20416 / #15051 on Android 2.0 with a macOS 0.1.0 Stable host over T3 Connect. I understand this PR prevents new persisted-Off states but does not migrate existing ones, and mobile-on-device was not checked. Is #19251 now the intended integration path for Android recovery as well? My saved entry remains stuck on the old host version / “Client not supported” despite the direct descriptor reporting protocol 2. I haven't tested this PR.

[juliusmarminge]

Taking over this one as maintainer for batch ssh-relay-remote-06. I will preserve the contributor commits, merge current main, and rebuild the runtime compatibility pause without overwriting saved on/off choices. Thanks @vitalyiegorov for tracing the persistent-Off regression. Existing persisted-Off entries remain outside this fix because they cannot be distinguished from an intentional user choice.

[juliusmarminge]

@coreldh This takeover prevents new implicit-Off states while preserving intentional switch-off choices. It does not migrate existing persisted-Off entries or repair stale discovery descriptors, and I have not verified Android or the separate integration path you mentioned. The updated description includes the exact Linux browser/test proof and native verification limits. Thanks for keeping those recovery cases distinct.

Keep the alternate session available in these routing tests.

When localSupervisor.session is empty, alternate routing skips the destination before the alternate probe. The disabled and unsupported cases can then pass even if routingAllowed incorrectly accepts the destination.

Suggested fixture fix

-          yield* SubscriptionRef.set(localSupervisor.session, Option.none());

The existing disabled-mutation test covers a disabled destination with a populated session, but it does not cover the new unsupported case. Keeping the default session preserves coverage for both new cases.
