Conversation
Read the live form value on Save, treat a requested rename that did not persist as an error, and keep the typed username with a named reason instead of showing Profile saved and reverting on revisit. Co-authored-by: Kent C. Dodds <me+github@kentcdodds.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe account profile flow now validates usernames, interprets save outcomes, preserves failed edits, renders field-level errors, and verifies server-side username persistence. Profile payloads use the persisted username, and client and server tests cover these behaviors. ChangesAccount profile username flow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Mixed-case account usernames can be canonicalized successfully while the active session keeps the old username. Resolve this before merge so session-backed account state matches the saved profile. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Refresh the session when the persisted username string changes
When an existing account has mixed-case username data, the API can persist Alice as alice and return alice. interpretAccountProfileSave normalizes both values and returns noop, so AccountRoute exits before it calls queueSessionRefresh(). Refresh the session whenever the returned username differs from the previous username, including this path.

Intent
Make account profile username Save honest: a rename that does not persist must never look like success and then snap back on refresh.
Why
Jaimie hit this on a work account changing
jklotz08→jklotzbefore her personal account existed, so the target was available. Save looked successful, then the field reverted on revisit. Rename + package-scope rewrite already exist (#793); this is the failure UX and persist-check around that path, not a new rename implementation.The Save handler posted stale
draftUsernamestate instead of the live form value, always showed Profile saved. on HTTP 200, and the profile payload trusted the in-memory auth username over the D1 row. A no-op or rolled-back rename could therefore look saved until the next load.Summary
users.usernameafter claim and before package rewrite; refuse success if the row did not change.Testing

Account profile Save posts the typed username, claims it in D1, rewrites packages only after the row matches, and shows an error if the rename did not stick.
