fix(client-runtime): show routes whose host refused this device's sign-in - #33199
When a saved environment has several routes and the host refuses this device's sign-in on the preferred one (for example after its 30-day session expires), the client quietly connects over the next route. Settings → Environments marks that route "In use" and the refused route looks healthy, so the user never learns the preferred route needs pairing again. The refusal only became visible after removing every other route.
Reproduced on main (d0f1f7200d) in the web client: a host paired on a loopback route and a LAN route, each with its own code. The host clock was moved forward 31 days, which expired the loopback session, and only the LAN route was paired again. The host logged Rejected authenticated session credential. reason: Session token expired. Settings showed "via LAN · Connected" and the loopback row looked normal.
Change
connectOverRoutes notes every route that failed because the host refused this device's credential and returns those route ids with the connection. It still falls back to the next route as before.
isHostCredentialRefusal decides what counts: a ConnectionBlockedError on the server hop with reason authentication or permission, excluding clock skew. Tunnel, link and missing-local-credential failures do not count.
The better-route check now reports "refused" instead of "unprepared" when the host refuses a route's credential, so a refusal found while the device is already on another route also shows up.
The supervisor remembers refused routes for as long as it lives. It drops a route once that route connects, and drops routes that are no longer saved. The connected state publishes the list as refusedRouteIds. Pairing the address again rebuilds the supervisor, which clears the list. The better-route check now writes to the state atomically, and only for the same connection generation.
Web (EnvironmentRoutesList, also used by desktop) and mobile (EnvironmentRoutesSection) mark a refused route "Sign-in refused" and add the hint "The host refused this device's sign-in. Pair this address again with Add route." The mobile hint is also in the row's accessibility label. docs/user/remote-access.md gets one sentence on this.
Route selection, ordering, retries and session lifetime are unchanged.
This fixes the silent fallback the issue describes. Making the session lifetime configurable is a separate change and is not part of this PR.
Verification
Tests, all failing on main and passing on this branch:
packages/client-runtime/src/connection/supervisor.test.ts, "EnvironmentSupervisor routes": a refused preferred route is reported while connected over another route; tunnel tunnel_not_enabled and server-hop clock_skew failures are not; a refusal found by the better-route check is reported; refused routes survive a switch to a better route; a refused route stops being reported once it connects.
packages/client-runtime/src/state/presentation.test.ts: the provider presentation follows refusedRouteIds.
apps/web/src/components/settings/EnvironmentRoutesList.browser.test.tsx: "marks a route whose host refused this device's sign-in".
vp run check:changed passes on the final head (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 7 packages, tests, react compiler).
Review: two independent review rounds on the merged head, both MERGE with no blocking findings.
Evidence
Before = merge-base bcee0f5d28, after = 3cee08825d (later commits change only tests and merge main). Real app on fresh databases: a second host H1 paired over two routes, then route A's session revoked from an admin session on H1 (no clock change). Web: Chrome 157 on Linux, DPR 2, no emulation, 1440×1000 and 390×844 CSS px. Android: Pixel 9 emulator, 1080×2424 px, density 2.625, font scale 1.0. Diff0 = any changed channel, DiffT = 16/255.
Refused preferred route A, fallback B in use (Settings → Environments):
Entry points: before | after; every route refused, no fallback: before | after; tunnel, clock-skew, device and relay failures add no flag, a host refusal does: before | after
More recordings, before bcee0f5d28 | after ad38094ff5 (the later main merge touches none of these files):
Android light, Pixel 9: revoke A → fallback to B → Add route → Cancel → Add route at A's exact address → flag gone, two routes: before | after. Only the pairing code is masked.
Web 390 dark, component harness: drag a refused row down twice and drop, lift and cancel, Remove → Cancel, Remove → Confirm: before | after.
Android dark, native harness: Edit, drag a refused row across the others and drop, lift and release in place, Remove → Cancel → Confirm, Done: before | after. While a row is lifted it overlaps its neighbours on both sides; the taller refused row covers more of the row below until it drops. The drop lands in the right slot.
What else changed: refused rows grow by the hint line, their drag and remove controls recenter, and the rows below move down; long hostname, SSH and relay labels wrap differently at 390. While the environment is reconnecting (about 0.2 s during a better-route switch, the same on both revisions) no route shows "In use" or "Sign-in refused". The Android status bar clock differs between the before and after frames. Healthy routes render pixel-identically except one blue-channel pixel (0 → 7) in the five-label control.
… behind fallback
The supervisor reports connected over a fallback route without recording that
the preferred route's host refused this device's credential.

…n-in
When a preferred route's host refused this device's credential (expired or
revoked session), the connection fell back to the next route and dropped the
refusal, so Settings showed the fallback "In use" and the refused route looked
healthy.
connectOverRoutes now returns the route ids refused with an authentication or
permission block alongside the lease. The supervisor publishes them in its
connected state, environment presentations carry them (reused while
unchanged), and the web and mobile route lists mark those routes "Sign-in
refused" with a hint to pair the address again with Add route. Route order,
retry and fallback are unchanged.

…luding at preflight
A route was marked "Sign-in refused" for any authentication or permission
failure, including T3 Connect setup errors, a missing local credential and
clock skew. Only a server-hop refusal that is not clock skew counts now.
The better-route preflight collapsed a host refusal into "unprepared", so a
preferred route whose pairing expired while the device was on relay was never
marked. Preflight now reports "refused" and the supervisor adds that route to
the connected state.
The copy no longer claims the sign-in expired or was revoked, and the mobile
row's accessibility label includes the recovery instruction.

The connected state replaced its refused routes with only the refusals seen
by the attempt that connected, so moving to a better route cleared a refused
preferred route until the next check. The supervisor now remembers unresolved
refusals for its lifetime and drops a route once it connects. The preflight
write is also atomic and only lands on the same connected generation.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Shows which saved routes refused this device's sign-in, with guidance to pair those addresses again. The change adds diagnostic state and presentation without altering access enforcement or route-selection defaults.
Notes:
All code in this push has already been reviewed. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The connection runtime now identifies routes that refuse device credentials and exposes their IDs through environment presentations. Web and mobile settings display refusal status and pairing guidance. The remote-access guide describes the refusal state and how to pair the route again.
The supervisor retains refused route IDs across connection changes and filters out the active route and IDs no longer present. Environment presentations include the refusal IDs. Tests cover refusal detection, retention, presentation updates, and related state fixtures.
Show refusal guidance in settings apps/web/src/components/settings/EnvironmentRoutesList.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/EnvironmentRoutesList.browser.test.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/EnvironmentRoutesSection.tsx, docs/user/remote-access.md
Web and mobile route rows show “Sign-in refused” for refused routes and pairing guidance when an address is available. The web test covers the displayed state. The remote-access guide describes the refusal state and pairing instructions.

Evidence: Linux Chromium web client, 1280×800, dark theme, separate worktrees and fresh synthetic databases on both commits.
Steps: pair A (127.0.0.1) and B (localhost) with separate codes; order A first; revoke only A's session through the independent administrator CLI; reload and expand routes; re-pair A's exact address using Add route and a fresh code.
Repair recordings redact the pairing code, host-name line, and transient notification. Reconnect recordings show the same reload-and-expand interaction; stills were verified stable and captures visually inspected.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
Mobile's route presentation and the Electron client were not exercised; evidence covers the real web client.
Late preferred-route preflight refusal and refusal retention across moves between three routes were not exercised; this reproduction uses two reachable direct routes.
Permission refusal and the tunnel/clock-skew exclusions were not exercised; the demonstrated refusal comes from revoking a real bearer session.
