[Bug]: Mobile home header stays on "Reconnecting" while one environment is asleep and another is connected #19074
Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/mobile
Steps to reproduce
- Pair the mobile app with two environments, for example an always-on machine and a laptop.
- Let both sync at least one thread, then make one of them unreachable (put the laptop to sleep, or stop its server).
- Open the mobile app while the other environment is connected, and look at the home header.
- Leave it open, or come back hours later.
Expected behavior
With one environment connected the app is fully usable, so the header keeps the T3 Code brand. An environment that cannot be reached is reported as unreachable where it appears, not as a reconnect in progress.
Actual behavior
The header replaces the brand with "Reconnecting to " and stays that way for as long as the other machine is unreachable, which can be hours.
Two rules combine to cause it:
workspace-connection-status.tsshows the status whenever any enabled environment is connecting, even when another one is connected.- The connection supervisor retries forever with backoff up to 5 minutes, and both the backoff and the retry are presented as
reconnecting(packages/client-runtime/src/connection/presentation.ts), so the label never changes to a failure.
With every environment down, the header says "Reconnecting 2 environments" indefinitely in the same way, although the attempts have already failed.
| One environment connected, one unreachable | No environment reachable |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
In the first screenshot "homelab" is connected and its thread is live; "laptop" has been unreachable for hours.
Impact
Minor bug or occasional failure
Version or commit
511d20c (main)
Environment
Android 17 emulator (Pixel 9), mobile dev client. The header logic is shared by iOS and Android; iOS was not run.
Workaround
Switch the unreachable environment off in Settings → Environments, and back on when the machine is awake.
