Summary

Verification

  • On head c6d8ced4027974b8c25e3f1da20d3f85e2cfece3, bun run test:changed tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts tests/clients/link-readiness.test.ts tests/clients/client-runtime-restart.test.ts — 41 passed, 0 failed. PATH and test homes were isolated; the selection is scoped to avoid discovery of global Codex executables.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan — passed.
  • cd docs-site && bun install --frozen-lockfile && bun run build — passed, 641 pages, before the last source/test-only review fixes.
  • Full local suite not run: scoped tests avoid global executable discovery and concurrent heavy-suite contention; broader coverage remains to CI. Live Home/Child and Windows runtime validation not run.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Readiness and authenticated machine/link status checks now return HTTP 503 with the client_state_changed reason when the Child’s connected state no longer matches its saved connection details, including when those details are missing or changed. Readiness reports the mismatch without disconnecting the relay.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the Remote Link guide to explain this readiness reason and the status responses, and recommend stopping or restarting the Child and checking its connection before re-linking.

Walkthrough

The Remote Link Child listener now returns 503 with client_state_changed when durable client state differs from its startup connection. It checks readiness before and after link-readiness lookup and checks authenticated machine and link status requests.

Changes: Remote Link Child State Reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Durable-state checks and listener responses
src/client/machine-listener.ts
The listener uses clientRestartRollbackAction to detect connection changes. It returns a no-store 503 for readiness when state differs before or after the readiness lookup, and for authenticated machine or link status requests.
Endpoint contract and regression coverage
tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts, tests/clients/link-readiness.test.ts, structure/runtime.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md, devlog/_plan/261107_orphaned_child_link/010_design.md
Tests cover missing or replaced persisted connection state and changes during readiness lookup. Documentation describes the client_state_changed response and recovery guidance. The design note records state-preservation and cleanup constraints, plus an open ownership question.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

  • lidge-jun/opencodex#8243: The issue reports that /readyz can remain available after the durable Child record disappears. This change reports client_state_changed when durable state diverges from the listener’s startup connection.

Possibly related PRs

  • lidge-jun/opencodex#7530: Adds clientRestartRollbackAction, which this change uses to detect durable-state divergence.
  • lidge-jun/opencodex#7484: Adds the rollback decision used by this change to detect a missing or replaced durable connection.
  • lidge-jun/opencodex#8036: Guards restoration when a served connection is missing or replaced, a condition this change detects on readiness and status endpoints.
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to c6d8c

The Child now reports client_state_changed when durable connection state diverges, and the change is covered by tests and docs. No concrete merge-blocking risk was identified.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Review comments at @src/client/machine-listener.ts:
- Around line 260-262: Extend the `connectionChanged()` guard in the request
handler to include `/api/machine/clients` alongside the existing status
endpoints. When `linkMode` is active and the connection has changed, return the
same `client_state_changed` 503 response for this read.

Review comments at @tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts:
- Around line 363-366: Update the readiness test to hold the asynchronous
linkReadiness result while a request is in flight; after the probe starts,
change the saved connection, release the result as ready, and assert the
response is 503 with client_state_changed. Ensure the test fails if the
post-await state check in the machine-listener readiness flow is removed.
- Around line 375-377: Extend the connection-change divergence test in the
client-machine listener tests to verify both `/api/machine/status` and
`/api/link/status` return 503 with the `client_state_changed` error. Keep the
existing request headers and error-body assertion for each endpoint.
