Problem

With a live client WebSocket, t3 auth session list --json reported connected: false while the running server's connections endpoint reported true. The CLI read connection state from its own empty in-memory session store.

Change

Read connected session IDs from the running server's existing auth endpoint using a read-scoped credential that expires after one minute and is revoked before listing. Apply those IDs to the existing local session output. Keep offline listing when the recorded server process has exited, and report an explicit error if a live server cannot answer.

Scope and approval

Fixes #21236
GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/21236
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow: #21236. Changes cover connection status in the CLI session listing.

Verification

  • The live-server regression test failed on main with expected false to be true and passes with the fix.
  • vp test run apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts: 16/16 pass on the reviewed revision, including live connection status, a dead recorded PID, and an unreachable live server's stderr.
  • Scoped server typecheck, targeted lint, and formatting pass.
Evidence Before After
Real server and CLI, Linux / Node v24.21.0 Runtime transcript at 8acbefefc5: WebSocket OPEN, HTTP true, CLI false Runtime transcript at 10cd74a573: HTTP and CLI true while connected, false after disconnect; offline and stale-PID listing succeed; unreachable live origin fails with stderr; temporary credentials revoked and rejected after success and failure

No UI render paths changed; the visual fixture matrix is empty. The final merge from main leaves both changed files identical to the captured revision. Runtime verification ran on Linux; macOS and Windows were not run. The later merge of current main preserves both reviewed file blobs; its local recheck timed out during host stalls, so CI is pending for that merge.

Implemented by Claude Opus 5.5 through the Claude harness; triaged and verified by GPT-6.1-Sol through the Codex harness in T3 Code.

…as disconnected (#21236)

While a session's WebSocket is open on the running server, the server's
view and /api/auth/clients report connected:true, but `t3 auth session
list --json` reports the same session connected:false. The test serves the
real auth routes over a temp base dir, records the server runtime state,
marks the session connected as the WebSocket upgrade does, and asserts the
CLI output.

…card

A filter path segment ending in [] resolves to the list of every element's
value, so a task can run only when, say, an issue carries a given label:
{path: 'body.issue.labels[].name', op: 'equals', value: 'needs more info'}.
equals, in and startsWith match when any element does, notEquals only when
none equals the value, exists when the list is not empty. Placeholders
accept the same syntax and render the list.

Before this, filters could only compare scalars and arrays satisfied
exists alone, so a GitHub issue_comment hook had to wake the bound thread
on every comment in the repository and let the agent discard the rest.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… server

Which sessions hold an open WebSocket lives only in the running server's
memory, so `t3 auth session list` read from the database alone always
printed connected:false. When a server runtime state is recorded, the CLI now
asks that server through GET /api/auth/clients with a short-lived access:read
session, revoked before the list is read, and fails loudly if the server does
not answer instead of reporting every session as disconnected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…tale runtime files

Print the unreachable-server error on stderr instead of exiting silently,
treat a runtime file whose recorded process is gone as no running server,
and give the temporary access:read session a one-minute TTL.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Live connection reporting uses a short-lived, read-scoped session with timeout and cleanup safeguards. The supplied unresolved webhook-filter concern still requires resolution because it reports scheduled tasks being incorrectly skipped, despite referencing a file outside this diff.

No code changes detected at 637f94b. Prior analysis still applies.

Walkthrough

The auth API adds an endpoint for connected client sessions. The CLI checks server runtime state, queries the endpoint when the recorded process is alive, and includes connection status in session-list output.

Changes: CLI Session Connection Status

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expose connected client sessions
packages/contracts/src/environmentHttp.ts, apps/server/src/auth/http.ts, apps/web/test/environmentHttpTest.ts
The authenticated GET /api/auth/clients endpoint requires read scope and returns client sessions. The environment HTTP test server marks the endpoint as unsupported.
Query and report connection status
apps/server/src/cli/auth.ts, apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts
The CLI checks persisted server state and process liveness, then queries connected clients with a temporary read-scoped session. The session list includes connection status. Tests cover connected sessions, exited processes, and unreachable servers.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 5f9aa

The session-list change looks sound, but it has no test showing that a session without read access is denied by the clients endpoint. An earlier webhook filter concern is still open and sits outside this diff. It should be tracked separately.

Explanation

Issue [#21236] requires live WebSocket sessions to report connected: true in t3 auth session list. apps/server/src/cli/auth.ts checks the recorded live server, queries the new scoped /api/auth/clients endpoint, and applies the returned session IDs to the local listing. It preserves disconnected output for an exited server and reports an explicit error when a live server is unreachable. The added tests cover live, stale-PID, and unreachable-server cases.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue [#21236]. The new authenticated clients endpoint, contract types, test-server stub, CLI query, temporary read-scoped credential, and regression tests directly support server-backed connection status. No unrelated product behavior or UI paths changed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Check wildcard exists before removing non-scalar elements.

If body.issue.labels[] contains label objects, scalarText removes every element. The exists filter then fails, although the resolved list is non-empty. The webhook delivery is marked filtered instead of running the task. Check value.length before converting elements to text.

Merged current main in f0b9b3b832. The branch diff is back to the two CLI auth files; both are unchanged from the independently reviewed and runtime-verified revision. The webhook finding concerns code now on main and is outside this diff. Local revalidation timed out during VM stalls; fresh CI is pending.

`t3 auth session list` asks the running server which sessions are

…ot answer

A running server from a release without GET /api/auth/clients, or one
that cannot be reached, made `t3 auth session list` exit without printing
anything. It now warns on stderr and lists every session as disconnected.

Nitpick comments: 1

apps/server/src/auth/http.ts: 1

3-3: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a test for the access:read scope guard on clients.

The new clients handler calls requireEnvironmentScope(AuthAccessReadScope). The tests in apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts only call the endpoint with a session that has access:read. No test shows that a session without access:read gets EnvironmentScopeRequiredError (403). This endpoint lists every active session ID and its connection state, so a regression in the guard would go unnoticed.

Add one case that issues a session with scopes that exclude access:read and calls GET /api/auth/clients. Extend the existing auth session list tests or an existing auth HTTP test.

As per path instructions, "Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior", and the testing rules list "auth and permission guards" as behavior to test.

Also applies to: 490-502
