fix(server): T3 tools work again after a thread switches back to a reused provider session - #17096
jieyuexing wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…used provider session A thread keeps its old provider session attached after switching providers, and the new provider's attach rotates the thread's single MCP credential slot to its own scope. When the thread switched back, the reused session skipped credential preparation, so the returning provider ran with a credential scoped to the other provider and every live-caller check failed with parent_not_active (pingdotgg#16565). ensureThreadAttached now also prepares the credential when the thread is already attached but the slot belongs to another provider instance, and records the new credential on the session so release revokes the right one.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR is a localized fix with targeted test coverage, but it changes production MCP credential ownership and revocation when provider sessions overlap. That authentication-sensitive behavior can invalidate the other live provider’s credential, so the runtime trade-off warrants human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules.

Serialize provider-turn startup per thread.
threadAttachment is keyed by both providerSessionId and threadId, so different provider sessions can pass the reclaim check concurrently. mcpPrepareLock serializes rotation, but it does not preserve the earlier provider's credential: after provider B prepares, provider A can enter prepareMcpSession, detect B's provider mismatch, call mcpSessionRegistry.revokeThread(threadId), and issue A's credential. Provider B can then start with a revoked MCP token.
EffectWorker executes effects with a worker pool and calls providerTurnStart.start without a thread-keyed lock. Serialize the complete provider-turn startup per thread, including ensureThreadAttached and startTurn, or use separate credentials per provider.

Note This comment is posted by Julius' dot The credential mismatch in #16565 is well described, but the proposed scope needs a maintainer decision. The PR's “Known limits and trade-off” section says Claude → Codex → Claude → Codex now leaves the reused Codex process with a revoked token. The new reclaim path calls Can a maintainer confirm whether this interim trade-off is acceptable, or whether returning-provider support must preserve both providers' tool access before landing? Please link the agreed direction here, as required by problem and scope approval. Leaving this open pending that decision. |

Fixes #16565
Problem
After a thread switches providers and later switches back, the returning provider calls T3 MCP tools with a credential scoped to the provider it left. Every tool that checks the live caller (
t3_thread_organize,update_scheduled_task,t3_queue_cancel,delegate_task, ...) fails withparent_not_active: The calling provider no longer owns an active thread run.Read-only tools keep working, so the agent keeps going with its writes silently broken until the thread is archived or the server restarts.How it happens:
prepareMcpSession(thread, codex)revokes the thread's credential and puts a Codex-scoped one into the thread's single credential slot. The Claude session is not detached on this path.ensureThreadAttachedskipsprepareMcpSession.ClaudeAdapterV2reads the slot on its next query and gets the Codex-scoped token.assertLiveCallercompares the active run'sproviderInstanceId(claudeAgent) withscope.thread.providerInstanceId(codex) and rejects the call.This was seen on
0.0.46-nightly.20261007. The projection showed the Codex shared session attached at the switch, then four completed Claude runs on the original Claude session with noprovider-session.attachedand no credential issue in between. Archiving and unarchiving the thread detached both sessions. The next run opened a fresh Claude session with a correct credential, and the errors stopped right away. The code involved is unchanged onmain(e803242d9).Fix
ensureThreadAttachedkeeps reusing an attached session as before. It now also callsprepareMcpSessionwhen the thread is already attached to the session but the credential slot belongs to another provider instance (or is empty). It records the new credential id on the session entry so releasing the session revokes the right credential.provider-session.attachedis still emitted only for a new attachment.When the slot already matches the session's instance, nothing changes, so the common path adds only a map lookup and one comparison per turn.
prepareMcpSessionalready handles reuse and reservations.This fits the "very small, focused fix for an obvious bug" exception in CONTRIBUTING: it touches one function, restores one invariant (the credential in the thread's slot belongs to the provider about to run), and comes with a regression test. Within the existing single-slot model, it changes which provider loses its credential when two sessions overlap; see the trade-off below. #16565 describes the same defect independently.
Verification
ProviderSessionManagerV2 takes the thread's MCP credential back when a run returns to a still-attached session. It opens a session, has another provider instance take over the thread's credential slot the way its attach does, then reopens the still-attached session the way every turn start does. It asserts that the slot and the registry scope point back at the session's instance, and that closing the session revokes the reclaimed credential. It also asserts that the other provider's token is revoked. That assertion records today's single-slot behavior, not a goal; see the trade-off below.expected 'claudeAgent' to equal 'codex'.vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.test.tspasses (57 tests).vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderSwitch.integration.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/SelectionRestart.integration.test.ts: 77 passed.vp lintandvp fmt --checkon the changed files are clean.tsc --noEmitinapps/serverreports no errors.Not covered: no live end-to-end run with real Claude and Codex processes.
Known limits and trade-off
prepareMcpSessionrevokes thread-wide before it issues. With this fix, the provider that ran most recently holds the valid credential. Before, it was the provider that attached most recently. Claude reads the slot on every query, so it always picks up the new token. Codex app-server receivesmcp_serversonly onthread/start,thread/resumeandthread/fork. A shared Codex session keeps an idle thread loaded for up to 30 minutes (DEFAULT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS) and does not resume it in that time. So Claude → Codex → Claude → Codex within that window now leaves Codex holding a token revoked by Claude's reclaim, and its T3 tools fail authentication. I expect a laterthread/resume(after the idle unload) to pick up the new token, but I have not verified that against a real Codex app-server. Before this PR the same sequence broke Claude permanently instead. The opposite order (Codex first) already broke Codex on its return before this PR.message.dispatchswitches providers, which the queued-start andthread.model-selection.setpaths already do. That one stops the old process and any background work it is running. This PR leaves both out to stay focused.ClaudeBackgroundWorkBlocksQueryReplacementError), as any query option change does.Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context), harness: Claude Code running inside T3 Code.
