Keep newer iOS connections alive when a recovery is superseded - #15141
Conversation
A dead-session recovery redial stalls, a user retry reconnects, and the stale redial returns superseded. The retry's connection must survive. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When the app foregrounds, a recovery attempt redials the Mac. If a user retry reconnects meanwhile, the retry claims the shared reconnect generation and connects. The old recovery then returned .superseded, settleConnectionRecovery counted that as a failure, and the caller set the shell disconnected and cleared the remote connection context. That destroyed the connection the retry had just made and, with several Macs connected, closed all of them together. A superseded recovery now retires its owner attempt without failing it and returns before the teardown. It still records one superseded recovery diagnostic. A stored-Mac reconnect whose deadline expires after a newer attempt took over now reports .superseded instead of .failed(.timedOut), so it neither triggers that teardown nor arms backoff for a dial nobody is waiting on.

…ns it Review repair: .superseded only means the reconnect generation moved. Hiding a Computer or clearing the saved-Mac hint bumps it without starting a newer reconnect, and the previous change then left the UI at Reconnecting with nothing running and no Retry. The shell now tracks in-flight stored-Mac reconnect generations. A superseded recovery retires silently only when the shell is connected or a newer reconnect is still dialing; otherwise it fails and offers Retry as before. The reconnect deadline reports .superseded under the same condition, and otherwise keeps its timeout, backoff and failure. Tests cover the bare generation bump and the deadline expiring after a user retry connected (red without the deadline guard). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Re-review repairs. A recovery whose reconnect did not connect never owns the live connection, so it must never tear one down: - Newer owners are now reconnects started after the recovery's own attempt (older in-flight reconnects no longer count), or a live connection from any path, including a Mac switch that connected while the recovery's dial failed. - Instead of going idle, the owner enters supersededAwaitingOwner. When the last in-flight reconnect exits, it completes if a connection is live and fails (showing Retry) if not, so a newer attempt that is itself superseded can no longer leave the UI stuck at Reconnecting. - The superseded reconnect deadline test now also asserts no automatic reconnect backoff, which is what the deadline guard still prevents, and uses a 2s deadline so the shared initial connect and retry are not squeezed on loaded runners. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CodeRabbit (per .github/review-bot-rules/test-determinism.md): the superseded-deadline test depended on a real 2s reconnect deadline. The runtime now owns the reconnect-attempt deadline clock (MobileSyncRuntime.sleepUntilReconnectAttemptDeadline, the monotonic clock by default), RPCTaskTimeout accepts that sleeper, and the stored- Mac reconnect passes it to raceAgainstDeadline. The test runtime's ReconnectDeadlineGate keeps each deadline pending until the test expires it, so the test orders the recovery's deadline after the retry settles with no wall-clock wait. It still fails without the deadline guard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Finish the timeout race if the injected sleep fails.
If sleepForDeadline throws while task.value remains pending, the catch returns without finishing the stream. value can then wait indefinitely. The continuous-clock default normally throws on cancellation, but the new public Sleep contract permits other failures. Preserve the cancellation exit; for another sleep failure, win the race and finish the stream with that error.

Review (merge-train, review subagent + independent verification of the load-bearing claims) Correctness of the supersede logic checks out, and I confirmed the two things the verdict rests on by reading the code rather than taking the report's word for it. Atomicity. Ownership semantics.

Summary
The iPhone app drops every connected Mac shortly after a user retries a reconnect. When the app returns to the foreground, a recovery attempt redials the Mac. If the user taps Retry (the workspace list, a notification's Try again, pull to refresh) while that redial is stuck, the retry claims the shared reconnect generation and connects. The old recovery then returns
.superseded, andsettleConnectionRecoverycounted that as a failure. The caller then marked the shell disconnected and calledclearRemoteConnectionContext(), destroying the connection the retry had just made. With several Macs connected, all of them closed together. A user's phone journal showed this twice: at 03:32 and 03:33, a recovery ended "Superseded" 2 to 20 seconds after a retry connected, and every Mac session closed within 30 ms.A recovery whose reconnect did not connect never owns the live connection, so it no longer tears one down. When its reconnect fails or is superseded, it checks whether a newer owner exists: a live connection from any path (a user retry, a Mac switch), or a stored-Mac reconnect started after its own attempt that is still dialing. If one exists, the recovery stands down without touching the connection (owner phase
supersededAwaitingOwner) and records one recovery diagnostic. When the last in-flight reconnect exits, a stood-down recovery completes quietly if a connection is live, and otherwise fails and shows Retry. That way a newer attempt that is itself superseded can't leave the UI stuck at "Reconnecting". With no newer owner at all (hiding a Computer, clearing the saved-Mac hint), the recovery fails as before.The stored-Mac reconnect deadline follows the same rule. When it expires while a newer reconnect owns the connection, it returns
.supersededinstead of.failed(.timedOut), so it doesn't arm automatic-reconnect backoff for a dial nobody is waiting on.The rule behind both changes: a reconnect that has lost ownership of the connection must not change it.
