fix(server): OpenCode 2 threads keep T3's tools after an idle project is evicted

[voltcrash]

Fixes #16768 (bug triaged by @juliusmarminge, who recommended re-adding the server on every turn).

Problem

OpenCode 2 keeps MCP servers added at runtime (PUT /api/experimental/mcp/:server) in the project Location's memory and drops them when it evicts a Location after 60 idle minutes (anomalyco/opencode#51343). The OpenCode 2 adapter added the thread's t3-code-<id> server once and cached that in state.mcp. The cache was cleared only on a reconnect, and eviction doesn't trigger one. Every later turn sent only the prompt, so the thread ran without T3's tools while t3OrchestrationSystemPrompt(state.mcp !== undefined) kept telling the model they were there. Threads woken by schedules or PR watches sit idle for hours, so they hit this regularly.

Fix

In prepareTurn, add T3's MCP server on every turn instead of only when state.mcp is unset. Per the issue, OpenCode leaves an unchanged config connected, so the cost is one PUT per turn. This also covers any other way OpenCode can lose runtime-added servers. state.mcp now only records what to remove when the thread unloads or the session closes. The orchestration instructions say T3's tools are available only when this turn's add succeeded.

The first-turn timing problem in #16141 is a separate issue in the same code path and isn't changed here.

Verification

• Added adds T3's MCP server again on every turn, in case OpenCode dropped it to OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts. It runs two turns on one thread and expects mcp.add before each prompt. Without the fix it fails because the second turn sends the prompt without mcp.add. With the fix it passes.
• vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts: 85 passed.
• vp lint and vp fmt --check on the changed files are clean, and apps/server typecheck passes.

Confirmed in OpenCode's source (packages/core/src/mcp/index.ts at 0fd7e28): MCP.add reloads config, and reconcile skips a server whose config hasn't changed (isDeepStrictEqual → continue), so adding it on every turn leaves a connected server connected. When the server is missing, the add waits for it to connect, except on a freshly booted Location's first reconcile. That case is the #16141 race, which this PR doesn't change.

Not checked: I didn't run this against a live OpenCode 2 server to evict a Location (DELETE /api/debug/location) and confirm T3's tools come back on the next turn.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 2f7f794

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrow OpenCode 2 adapter fix that refreshes T3 tool registration after idle-project eviction and adds a focused two-turn regression test. Its only broader runtime effect is an idempotent MCP registration request per T3-enabled turn, with existing timeout and fallback handling.

Notes:

• Diff unchanged. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The adapter now attempts to add the thread’s MCP server before each turn. It uses the current add result to determine whether orchestration instructions report MCP tools as available. A replay test covers two turns and session closure.

Changes

Per-turn MCP registration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Register MCP server for each turn apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/OpenCode2AdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts	prepareTurn attempts to add the thread-specific MCP server on every turn. It updates state.mcp only when the add succeeds and bases tool availability on that turn’s add result. The replay test checks registration before two prompts and removal when the session closes.

Fixed issue severity:

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2f7f7

A request immediately after a fresh or rebuilt Location may lack T3 tools for that turn, despite the instructions saying they are available. The impact is bounded and can recover after discovery, so merge risk is low.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2f7f7

The change preserves existing tool permissions, but repeated registration may overlap thread removal and leave a credential-bearing registration outside normal cleanup. No broader privilege gain was demonstrated.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Per-turn registration repeats a cleanup window that was previously primarily a first-registration issue. prepareTurn can hold an in-flight add before state.active is installed; unloadThread can meanwhile delete the thread from the cleanup map. If the remote add becomes effective after removal, its successful result updates a detached state object and leaves the registration outside subsequent cleanup. Plain detach deliberately preserves the credential. Thread-specific permissions and terminal revocation limit exposure, but remote ordering and complete caller cancellation behavior remain unresolved.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The supported concern is bounded to a thread's credential-bearing registration within its provider runtime and directory. The inspected change does not broaden the permission namespace or demonstrate access to another thread's tools.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A possible failure path is concurrent turn preparation and plain detach: unload removes local ownership while registration remains in flight, and a later effective add escapes map-based cleanup. This is not a verified attacker exploit; caller cancellation and remote request ordering determine whether it manifests.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Credential preparation checks thread and provider-instance identity and rotates credentials when browser or device capability settings change. Terminal detach revokes credentials, whereas plain detach preserves them for reattachment. These unchanged controls constrain the lifecycle concern.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Overlapping turn setup is serialized by a session gate, but unloadThread does not take that gate. Cleanup uses bounded, best-effort removal and session finalization enumerates only registrations still owned by the threads map.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Use a shared lifecycle gate or explicit in-flight registration ownership so unload cannot discard cleanup responsibility before registration settles. Validate the ownership invariant with controlled add completion overlapping detach and cancellation.

Full details: Approvability

Explanation

The PR changes an external side effect. OpenCode2AdapterV2.ts now calls client.mcp.add on every eligible turn instead of only when no server is recorded. The replay test maps mcp.add to PUT /api/experimental/mcp/:server, so the change sends additional state-changing requests to the OpenCode server. This matches the rule against adding or changing an external side effect. The pull request needs a maintainer's review.

Replying to the two open items in CodeRabbit's summary:

Security note (unload while an add is in flight). I'm not changing code for this. ProviderSessionManager only calls unloadThread for a detached thread. It holds threadAttachment's lock and skips a thread that has attached again, and a turn only starts on an attached thread. For the overlap to happen, a detach has to land during startTurn's setup, before beginTurn installs state.active. That already leaves the whole turn running on an unloaded thread, with or without MCP. The first-turn mcp.add had the same window before this PR, so this isn't a new kind of failure. If it happens, the leftover entry is the thread's own t3-code-<id>. Session rules deny other threads' entries, and a terminal detach revokes the credential. Making unload and turn setup share a gate would be a separate change to the adapter's lifecycle.

Approvability pre-merge check. This gate exists so a maintainer reviews the per-turn PUT /api/experimental/mcp/:server. On the OpenCode side, MCP.add only reloads config, and reconcile skips a server whose config is unchanged (isDeepStrictEqual → continue, packages/core/src/mcp/index.ts at 0fd7e28). So the extra request doesn't reconnect or otherwise touch a server that's already connected. @juliusmarminge recommended this approach in the triage on #16768.
