Greptile SummaryThe PR rate-limits barren terminal-event-stream redials and preserves reconnect UI state.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR is not yet safe to merge because a remounted terminal can still skip required scrollback hydration after a connection swap. The retained-mirror set survives terminal unregistration even though unregistration clears the delivery cursor and hydration state; remount then consumes that stale membership to request zero scrollback, leaving the replacement surface without prior history.

…10482) Address review feedback on PR #10491: - cancelDeadTerminalEventStreamRedial() now clears the backoff's scheduled flag, so a cancelled redial is not left marked scheduled (which would coalesce the next barren stream into a dead timer), and pair it with every connectionRecoveryOwner.cancel() (method change, account boundary, explicit connect, deinit). The single recovery owner's lifecycle now invalidates the pending dead-stream redial instead of leaving an independent task alive. - Test: replace the fixed Task.sleep in the parked-reconnect assertion with a bounded router.waitForCount(recordIssueOnTimeout: false) that asserts no further replay lands.

Four store-level regression tests that FAIL on current main, one per acceptance criterion of the dogfood report: - foregroundDeadEventStreamRedialLoopIsRateLimited: a subscription that keeps ending/being-rejected before delivering any event drives an unbounded, back-off-free recoverDeadConnection redial loop. - workspaceChangesChipsSurviveTransientReconnect: a transient disconnect wipes the files-changed chips (51 -> 0), which re-presents the changes hint on every reconnect cycle. - reconnectWithLiveMirrorResumesWithoutFullScrollbackReplay: a reconnect that keeps a live on-screen mirror re-hydrates the full scrollback (max_scrollback_rows 4000) instead of a cheap repaint. - deadStreamStormDoesNotRepeatedlyReplayAndKeepsViewport: the storm never settles onto a backoff, so the main thread stays pinned. Adds LivenessHostRouter.failNextSubscribeRequests and captures max_scrollback_rows on recorded replay requests. Regression policy: this commit is intentionally red; the fix follows.
Three coordinated fixes for the dogfood-reported storm when foregrounding the iOS app after a background. 1. Rate-limit the dead terminal-event-stream redial edge (root cause). A subscription that ends — or is rejected — before delivering any event drove recoverDeadConnection(.eventStreamEnded/.subscriptionStartFailed) with no backoff: the redial succeeded, restarted the same failing stream, and re-ended at scheduler speed, pinning the main thread at ~94% CPU (which froze scrolling) and full-replaying scrollback every cycle. Route those edges (and the rejected-subscribe-ack edge) through a new MobileDeadStreamRedialBackoff: the first barren stream still recovers immediately, each subsequent barren stream backs off exponentially (1s..30s) on the control-plane clock, and a delivered event or a fresh foreground return clears the streak. The status pill shows Reconnecting once during the wait instead of flipping every cycle. 2. Preserve the files-changed chips across a transient reconnect. The disconnect edge wiped every chip (filesChanged N -> 0) and the reconnect refetch restored it; that N -> 0 -> N churn re-presented the changes hint and re-showed the toolbar chip on every reconnect cycle. Cancel in-flight fetches on disconnect but keep the last-known chips and reuse-window cache; prune/evict still drop chips for workspaces that actually leave the list. 3. Resume the terminal instead of re-hydrating the full scrollback on reconnect. A connection swap clears each surface's delivery cursor, which forced the next screen-anchored replay to re-download the entire local scrollback (~20MB per reconnect on cellular). Remember surfaces whose on-screen mirror survived the swap and request a history-preserving repaint (max_scrollback_rows 0) for them; a genuinely rebuilt-blank surface still hydrates.
…10482) Address review feedback on PR #10491: - cancelDeadTerminalEventStreamRedial() now clears the backoff's scheduled flag, so a cancelled redial is not left marked scheduled (which would coalesce the next barren stream into a dead timer), and pair it with every connectionRecoveryOwner.cancel() (method change, account boundary, explicit connect, deinit). The single recovery owner's lifecycle now invalidates the pending dead-stream redial instead of leaving an independent task alive. - Test: replace the fixed Task.sleep in the parked-reconnect assertion with a bounded router.waitForCount(recordIssueOnTimeout: false) that asserts no further replay lands.
) Address CodeRabbit follow-up: cancelDeadTerminalEventStreamRedial() clears the scheduled flag but keeps consecutiveBarrenRedials, so a new session could inherit the previous session's backoff (up to the 30s cap). Use resetDeadTerminalEventStreamBackoff() at the fresh-start boundaries — sign-out, new pairing attempt, and connection-method change — while a same-session background suspend still keeps the accrued streak. Adds a unit test that reset returns the streak to an immediate first redial.

Fixes #10482.
Root cause
The dogfood report bundled four symptoms (94% CPU, repeated "Reconnecting", frozen scrolling, the files-changed popup re-presenting, eventual kick-out). Tracing the scene-phase → reconnect path in
Packages/iOSshowed the connection layer is already single-flight and bounded (theMobileConnectionRecoveryOwner, the secondary control pool at ≤5 sessions, exponential backoff on the automatic/secondary retries). The hypothesized "multiplication of connection cycles" was not the mechanism, so this does not over-fit to it.The actual driver is a delay-free redial loop on one edge:
resumeForegroundRefresh()→ healthy probe →resyncTerminalOutput(restartEventStream: true)starts a terminal event-stream listener.mobile.events.subscribeenable handshake is rejected — before delivering any event,handleTerminalEventStreamEnded/beginTerminalEventSubscriptionStartcallrecoverDeadConnection(.eventStreamEnded / .subscriptionStartFailed).recoverDeadConnectionredials, the redial succeeds,startTerminalRefreshPollingrestarts the same failing stream, and it ends barren again → loop at scheduler speed.That edge had no backoff:
.eventStreamEnded/.subscriptionStartFailedhit a no-opbreakinrecoverMobileConnection, andrecoverDeadConnectionbypasses the automatic backoff entirely (which only applies to disconnected redials carrying aRetry-After). Each iteration flipsconnectionState/macConnectionStatus/isRecoveringConnection/workspaces— all@Observableand read by the workspace sidebar — so the SwiftUI shell rebuilt many times per second (the os_log localization-key storm), pinning the main thread (which is why touch scrolling dies) and full-replaying terminal scrollback each cycle (the ~20MB cellular bursts). The render-grid liveness watchdog had this exact class of bug before and was fixed with a 2-strike + probe gate; this sibling edge lacked the same guard.The fixes (commit 2)
MobileDeadStreamRedialBackoff. A stream that ended barren recovers immediately the first time (a real blip should heal fast), then backs off exponentially (1s → 30s) on the control-plane clock; a delivered event or a fresh foreground return clears the streak. A stream that proved itself alive still recovers immediately. The status pill shows "Reconnecting" once during the wait instead of flipping every cycle.prune/evictstill drop chips for workspaces that actually leave the list, and the not-capable path still clears them.max_scrollback_rows = 0); a genuinely rebuilt-blank surface still hydrates.Acceptance criteria

Fixes #10482: previously, a terminal event stream that ended before delivering an event redialed immediately at scheduler speed; it now uses bounded exponential backoff. This prevents the foreground reconnect storm from pinning the main thread and repeatedly downloading scrollback while preserving terminal and workspace-change state across transient reconnects.
Reconnect behavior
max_scrollback_rows=0when producer and history metadata still match; changed producers and reused surface IDs receive full hydration.Written for commit 2cecebc. Summary will update on new commits.

Medium Risk
Touches main-actor connection recovery, terminal replay hydration, and observable shell state on a hot path; behavior is heavily regression-tested but mistakes could still cause missed resyncs or wrong scrollback after reconnect.
Overview
Fixes the foreground reconnect storm (#10482) when a terminal event subscription ends or is rejected before delivering any event. Those paths now go through
recoverDeadTerminalEventStreamwithMobileDeadStreamRedialBackoff(immediate first barren retry, then 1s→30s exponential backoff on the control-plane clock, coalesced onMobileConnectionRecoveryOwner). Delivered events, foreground resume, and session boundaries reset the streak; backgrounding cancels the pending timer and parkseventStreamEndedfor replay before the generic healthy probe.Transient reconnect UX no longer wipes workspace files-changed chips or re-arms the hint banner on every cycle: disconnect suspends summary fetches while preserving chips,
clearRemoteConnectionContextcan retain mirror/chip state during recovery, andWorkspaceChangesHintRefreshPolicykeeps an already-shown hint across brief unavailability.Terminal output adds
MobileTerminalMirrorStateso a mounted mirror can survive a same-session swap and requestmax_scrollback_rows = 0when producer/history still match; stale producers, surface-ID reuse, and capability resets still force full hydration. Regression tests cover backoff, chips, mirror resume, viewport survival, and stale summary cancellation.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 2cecebc.
