Summary

  • Reuse the authenticated discovery response already verified during iOS activation for the first live-Mac lookup.
  • Overlap launch backup restoration with local paired-Mac reads and live Iroh discovery, while retaining synchronous ordering for manual and recovery reconnects.
  • Keep auth, team scope, reconnect generation, and route-push invalidation guards around background work.
  • Add Instruments signposts and diagnostic milliseconds for auth bootstrap, backup restore, paired-Mac reads, zero-touch discovery, reconnect, first presence frame, and live discovery.

Verification

  • CmxIrohClientRuntimeTests: activation snapshot one-shot and route-push invalidation.
  • CmxIrohClientRuntimeAuthorizationTests: 4 passed.
  • IrohZeroTouchDiscoveryTests: 14 passed, including backup/live-discovery overlap.
  • IrohReconnectRouteSelectionTests: 26 passed.
  • Cloud macOS tagged build fdisc: succeeded, port 3916.
  • Cloud iOS device archive and local export: succeeded, signed bundle dev.cmux.ios.fdisc, staging API and Iroh origins embedded, timing strings present in the shipped binary.
  • Simulator leg was retried and omitted because the builder's cached GhosttyKit lacks x86_64 simulator objects; device archive was unaffected.
  • Personal iPhone install was queued because device 4A52829D-6427-599F-A166-4058881D2DF4 was unreachable.

Summary by cubic

Speeds up iOS startup Mac discovery by reusing the already-authenticated activation discovery once and overlapping backup restore with local reads and live Iroh discovery. This reduces first-connect latency while keeping manual and recovery reconnects synchronous.

  • First live‑Mac lookup: previously forced a broker refresh; now MobileIrohRuntimeComposition.discoverLiveMacs() consumes the activation snapshot once and falls back to an authoritative refresh if needed. Snapshot reuse is disabled on route push, supervisor network change, explicit discovery invalidation, and stop.
  • Startup reconnect: previously blocked on a synchronous backup refresh; now launch uses a shell‑owned background task so backup restore runs alongside route reads and live discovery. Manual/recovery reconnects remain synchronous. Sign‑out and team changes cancel the background restore to prevent cross‑account bleed.
  • Diagnostics: adds OSLog signposts for authBootstrap, backupRestore, storedMacReconnect, pairedMacRead, zeroTouchDiscovery, and presenceFirstFrame, and records milliseconds on discovery events. No runtime overhead when tracing is off.
  • API/usage: MobileShellComposite.reconnectActiveMacIfAvailable adds refreshBackupInBackground (default false). Startup callers in CmuxMobileShellUI pass true; no migration required for other call sites.
  • Tests: new coverage for one‑shot activation snapshot consumption, invalidation on route push, and overlapping startup restore/discovery; updated cooldown tests; enhanced delayed paired‑Mac store to gate and observe backup refresh.

Written for commit 79def4c. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Faster startup and Mac reconnection by refreshing backup data in the background while discovery and connection proceed.
    • Initial discovery results can now be reused during activation, avoiding duplicate network requests and reducing connection delays.
    • Discovery diagnostics now include timing information to improve visibility into readiness and performance.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented outdated or invalidated discovery results from being reused after network changes, route updates, or session changes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for one-time discovery reuse, invalidation, and background refresh behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 79def

The startup discovery changes can reuse an invalidated activation response after network or route changes, potentially selecting stale Mac information and making the PR not merge-ready until that correctness issue is fixed or explicitly accepted. One error log also needs redaction to avoid exposing storage or backend details.

❌ Failed checks (2 errors, 1 inconclusive)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Cmux Swift Actor Isolation ❌ Error The PR adds pure elapsedMilliseconds as an implicitly MainActor-isolated static helper inside @MainActor MobileIrohRuntimeComposition, creating unnecessary actor coupling. Declare the helper private nonisolated static func elapsedMilliseconds(...) so timing calculation does not inherit MainActor isolation.
Cmux Algorithmic Complexity ❌ Error MobileIrohRuntimeComposition.swift:605 adds a filter+sort over liveMacs; an empty/incompatible snapshot then repeats it at line 628, with no bound or benchmark for large Mac lists. Cache the ordered candidate snapshot or combine fallback selection with refresh so liveMacs is not filtered and sorted twice; add a benchmark if sorting remains.
Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness ❓ Inconclusive Evidence collection is still in progress. Need the pull-request diff and the changed discovery path to assess whether an authoritative read was replaced by an unsafe cache.

Verification update: the device archive and export completed and the signed fdisc artifact is retained. The personal iPhone was unreachable, so installation was deferred rather than verified live. Retry with:

./scripts/reload-cloud-ios.sh --tag fdisc --no-simulator --device-id 4A52829D-6427-599F-A166-4058881D2DF4 --wait 1200

The simulator leg remains blocked by the builder cache missing x86_64 GhosttyKit simulator objects; the device archive was unaffected.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Mark the dynamic error value as private.

Line 2818 logs String(describing: error) with .public privacy. The error can contain storage paths or raw backend details. Log it with .private.

Proposed fix
- mobileShellLog.error("paired mac store read failed: \(String(describing: error), privacy: .public)")
+ mobileShellLog.error("paired mac store read failed: \(String(describing: error), privacy: .private)")

As per coding guidelines, dynamic sensitive values must remain redacted or use .private.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not re-arm an invalidated activation snapshot.

Line 566 runs after await handleBinding(...). While that await is suspended, handleSupervisorNetworkChange, reconcileConnectivityRevision, or invalidateDiscoverySnapshot can clear the flag. This assignment then restores reuse of a superseded discovery response.

Track an actor-owned invalidation generation. Capture it before handleBinding. Set availability only if the generation is unchanged after the await. Increment the generation in every snapshot invalidation path. Add a deterministic test that emits a network or route invalidation while handleBinding is suspended.

Proposed direction
+var initialDiscoverySnapshotInvalidationGeneration: UInt64 = 0
+
+func invalidateInitialDiscoverySnapshot() {
+    initialDiscoverySnapshotInvalidationGeneration &+= 1
+    initialDiscoverySnapshotAvailable = false
+}
...
+let invalidationGeneration = initialDiscoverySnapshotInvalidationGeneration
 let published = await handleBinding(policy.binding, discovery)
 ...
-if published {
+if published,
+   invalidationGeneration == initialDiscoverySnapshotInvalidationGeneration {
     initialDiscoverySnapshotAvailable = true
 }

As per coding guidelines, do not leave invalid snapshot state representable. As per path instructions, activation snapshots must not be reused after route or reconnect invalidation.
