fix(server): release device sessions when threads settle - #32935
Settling a finished thread leaves its agent-device session alive, so another thread cannot use the same simulator (DEVICE_IN_USE). Archive, thread deletion, and project deletion also omit device cleanup.
Queue device cleanup through the existing orchestration outbox and call the existing host-owned close operation. Simulators stay booted, and other threads keep their sessions.
Each open receives a private cleanup identity. Lifecycle commands capture the eligible identities in the durable effect, so delayed or retried cleanup cannot close a newly reopened session, even within the same millisecond. The deletion planner receives the captured identities as input. Client/RPC contracts and provider adapters are unchanged.
The tests and short user-guide update cover this same lifecycle change.
Scope and approval
Maintainer decision requested before review/merge:#25832 explicitly keeps devices open on settle, following terminal behavior. This PR proposes releasing their exclusive claims on manual and automatic settle as requested in #32930/#32511. That settle-policy change has not received explicit maintainer approval; this PR is a concrete implementation for that decision, not a claim that approval already exists.
Archive/delete cleanup overlaps the lifecycle portion of #25832. This PR does not add claim-owner UI, an idle timeout, or any separate enhancement.
Verification
Before: copied the new integration regression into an isolated checkout of baseline 8e6a7323050e, keeping its server code unchanged. Manual settle, automatic settle, archive and delete all fail after draining the effect worker: one device session remains, expected zero.
After: the same four cases pass. A fifth test holds the clock fixed and reopens the same device before queued cleanup executes; the reopened session survives. Other-thread preservation and keeping devices booted are asserted.
vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts -t 'releases devices without powering them off|preserves devices reopened after settlement': 5 passed.
vp run check:changed: formatting, lint, both knip passes, generated GraphQL verification, affected-package typechecks, and 295 tests in 12 files passed.
The screenshot is a capture of the actual before/after regression report, not an application/device screenshot. Tests use the real orchestrator, effect worker and DeviceService with a simulated host on Linux. Live iOS/Android devices and live SSH/EAS hosts were not exercised.

The complete 13-file diff, current description, linked reports, comments/reviews, and verification artifacts were checked. The author is not in the validated exemption list; draft status does not change the requirements.
Unresolved product scope: maintainer-authored #25832 explicitly says, “Thread settle does not release devices.” This PR adds release on manual and automatic settle to address #32930/#32511. The linked bug report and the concrete reproduction establish the symptom, but do not establish approval to change that policy.
Question for maintainers: should settling a thread release its exclusive agent-device sessions, or should cleanup remain limited to explicit close, archive and deletion? Please confirm the intended direction and scope under prior approval.
The changes address one underlying device-lifecycle problem: cleanup scheduling, captured session identities, execution, regression coverage, fixture updates, and the corresponding user guidance. The supplied baseline failure, fixed-clock reopen regression, raw transcripts, screenshot report, and passing changed-file checks substantiate the automated server behavior. Live simulator/emulator and remote-host verification remains explicitly unperformed.
Per contribution-triage, the PR remains open and pending that maintainer answer, not marked eligible. No macroscope-review label was applied and no review completion is claimed. Review handoff can be reassessed after the scope decision.
Device sessions now have IDs that allow cleanup to target only sessions captured for a thread. Settle, archive, and deletion paths enqueue cleanup effects, which the worker executes through ResourceCleanupService.

Summary
Session identity and targeted close apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.ts
Each opened session receives a UUID. The service exposes a thread’s session IDs and accepts optional IDs to limit which sessions close selects.
Settle and archive commands capture session IDs for cleanup effects. Thread deletion plans also include captured IDs, including for child-thread deletion.
Tests cover cleanup on settle, auto-settle, archive, and deletion, including delayed cleanup and reopened sessions. Device documentation describes session release while simulators and emulators remain running.

pingdotgg/t3code#17470 — Reports that settle and archive do not release device claims; this change adds cleanup for those lifecycle paths.
Suggested reviewers:juliusmarminge
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 07796
Settling, archiving, or deleting a thread now releases its device sessions. In two edge cases a session or its exclusive device claim can survive: a device open that is still in flight, or an SSH host that stays unreachable past the short retry window. The device would then stay locked to the finished thread. Both cases should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge, and the settle-policy change still needs maintainer approval.

Explanation
The title "fix(server): release device sessions when threads settle" matches the main change: settling a thread now queues device cleanup that closes its device sessions through the orchestration outbox. It is specific, follows conventional commit style, and does not list files. It omits archive and deletion cleanup, which is a narrower scope than the full changeset but still a real part of it.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's sections: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. It states the problem (settled threads keep device sessions, causing DEVICE_IN_USE) and the fix (outbox-queued cleanup using the existing close operation, with identity capture for reopened sessions). Verification includes specific focused test commands, pass counts, and before/after results, and it names what was not tested (live iOS/Android devices and live SSH/EAS hosts). The Scope section explicitly flags that maintainer approval for the settle-policy change has not been received, which is a substantive open item rather than a missing section. The conventional commit title is present in the PR title. The description is mostly complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #32930 has three coding requirements. Each is supported by code at the reviewed head.
(1) Settle releases the exclusive device claim without powering off the device. Orchestrator.ts queues a device.cleanup effect for thread.settle, covering manual and automatic settle. ResourceCleanupService.ts cleanupDevices calls devices.close({ threadId }, { sessionIds }) with no shutdown flag. DeviceService.ts runs shutdown work only when input.shutdown is set (ending = input.shutdown ? ...), so simulators stay booted.
(2) Cleanup targets only the original session identity, including same-millisecond reopens. DeviceService.ts assigns each open a UUID from SecureRandom.uuidV4(), stores it in a WeakMap keyed by the session object, and close() filters on options.sessionIds when supplied. A reopened session is a new object with a new UUID, so a delayed close does not end it. Captured IDs are fixed in the durable effect, so timestamp equality does not matter.
(3) Archive and delete cleanup run. Orchestrator.ts queues device.cleanup for thread.archive and passes captured device session IDs to planThreadDeletion (ThreadDeletion.ts requires deviceSessionIds). ProjectService.ts does the same for child-thread deletion.
The PR adds regression tests in runtimeLayer.test.ts for manual settle, auto-settle, archive, delete, other-thread preservation, booted devices, and reopen-after-settle. The reported before/after results are PR evidence. I did not run these tests. The maintainer decision on settle policy (#25832, the PR description, and the linked issue) is a non-coding approval gate, so it is not assessed here.
Limits: the Orchestrator.ts whole-PR diff could not be read in this assessment. Its behavior is taken from the supplied summary and the prior assessment.

No change lacks a connection to the linked objective. The PR does not add claim-owner UI, idle timeout, or other enhancements, as stated in the PR description.

Serialize session capture with in-flight opens.
An open started before archive or deletion can finish after this capture. If it replaces an existing session, the queued cleanup no longer matches the new ID, so the old agent-device claim can remain owned by the archived or deleted thread. DeviceService.open publishes after asynchronous host work and does not take the thread command lock. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Coordinate open completion with the lifecycle transition, while preserving intentional reopens after settlement. Add a regression test that controls this ordering.

Keep cleanup pending while an SSH host reconnects.
If five cleanup attempts occur before the SSH host reconnects, the worker marks this effect failed. The default backoff totals only 1.5 seconds, while SSH reconnection can take longer. The session and exclusive claim then remain after settlement, archive, or deletion. Use a retry policy or recovery path that can complete cleanup after reconnection. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep device cleanup pending while an SSH host reconnects
When a thread with an SSH device session is settled, archived or deleted during a reconnect, DeviceService.close fails immediately because host.current is null. Passing that error directly to the production worker exhausts its default five attempts in approximately 1.5 seconds (EffectWorker.ts:660, 833–843), while SshDeviceHost reconnects independently with a 1–30-second backoff. The cleanup then remains failed, and reconnecting does not reschedule it. Consequently, a short SSH outage can leave the old thread's exclusive device claim held after connectivity returns, so another thread still receives DEVICE_IN_USE. Defer or requeue cleanup until the host reconnects rather than exhausting the bounded execution retries on temporary unavailability.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Persist recoverable targets for replayed device cleanup
If the server crashes after the lifecycle command commits but before cleanup finishes, this replay-safe effect persists only UUIDs whose association with devices exists in DeviceService.makeWithHosts's in-memory WeakMap. The restarted service recreates that map and initializes sessions to an empty array, so replayed cleanup matches nothing and is marked successful without contacting a host. The local agent-device daemon can survive the crash and is reused by LocalDeviceHost.startAgentDeviceDaemon, leaving its exclusive claim intact and subsequent threads receiving DEVICE_IN_USE. Persist or recover the generation-qualified cleanup targets so the durable effect can actually release pre-crash claims.

before: on github/main at 2922e8fb5952277793e0915b6adbceb58ebef1b0, thread a opened android settings through device_open and its returned command. after settling a, thread b's command failed with DEVICE_IN_USE.
after: the same flow on this head succeeded. thread b opened settings and snapshot -i returned 17 visible nodes. the emulator stayed booted.
isolation: while b owned the device, c received DEVICE_IN_USE. settling c preserved b's original claim; b's existing command still captured a snapshot with exit 0.
archive: archiving b released its claim; c then opened settings and captured a snapshot with exit 0.
delete: after confirming deletion of c and waiting for it to disappear, d opened settings and captured a snapshot with exit 0. an initial browser-script attempt navigated away before deletion completed; it was retried with the completed deletion explicitly observed.

native ios, native t3 mobile and electron clients, macos/windows, remote/ssh/eas/simlock hosts, reconnect/crash recovery, an open racing a lifecycle transition, project deletion, and automatic settlement through the live scheduler were not exercised. the five focused tests cover automatic settlement and reopen preservation at the integration layer only. existing review concerns about reconnect, process-loss replay, and in-flight opens remain unresolved by this verification. this pass does not resolve the separate settle-policy decision.
Thanks for this. https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/32524 makes the same change and is the one being kept: Keep #32524 for the shared settle problem reported in #32930 and #32511. Its current head has 44 successful checks, none failing or pending, and a Git merge-tree comparison against current main completed without conflicts. It is the narrower implementation: two production files, using the existing settlement service, with per-device failure isolation, asynchronous releases, and a guard checked under the lifecycle lock to preserve re-engaged threads. This PR additionally implements archive/delete cleanup, which the alternative does not cover; that remaining scope should be tracked separately rather than carrying a competing settle implementation. Main contains neither device.cleanup nor sessionIdsForThread, so this is not already on main.
