fix(server): switching Codex accounts releases the old account's writer - #30647
With two Codex provider instances (accounts) that share session storage, switching an existing thread from account A to account B fails with "This conversation is open in another Codex client". A's app-server, launched by T3, still holds the native thread's writer lock (thread-writer-locks/<id>.lock), so B's thread/resume gets thread <id> already has an active writer. Retrying on B keeps failing; switching back to A works.
Reproduced on main with two Codex instances sharing a CODEX_HOME through shadow homes: send on A, switch the thread to B, send.
Change
Two parts, both needed:
ProviderSessionManager.detach now also unloads the provider thread the old session recorded holding for the app thread. A cross-instance switch repoints the provider-thread row to the new instance's session in the same commit that queues the old session's detach. So detach's projection filter (providerSessionId === old session) found nothing, never sent thread/unsubscribe, and also cancelled the old session's idle unload.
CODEX_THREAD_CONFIG sets thread_unload_delay_secs: 0. After the last unsubscribe, Codex keeps an idle thread loaded, writer lock included, for this delay. T3 only unsubscribes a thread when it means to unload it (idle unload or detach), so Codex now closes it right away and the next instance can resume it.
The thread's effects run in outbox order, so the old session's unsubscribe completes before the new session's provider-turn.start.
vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts: pass.
The new test "ProviderSessionManagerV2 unloads a thread from its old session after it resumes on another instance" fails on main with expected [] to deeply equal [ 'native-thread' ].
The replay fixtures (testkit/fixtures/*/codex_transcript.ndjson) gain the new config key, and the Codex replay suites pass.
vp run check:changed: pass.
Real app, fresh dev databases with synthetic data. Codex instances A and B used the same homePath and separate shadowHomePath. Lock holders were read from /proc/<app-server pid>/fd.

Adds a failing ProviderSessionManager test reproducing #30630: when a
restart_and_resume switch moves a provider thread row to another Codex
instance's session, detaching the old session never unloads the native
thread there, so the old app-server keeps its writer lock.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A restart_and_resume switch between Codex instances that share session
storage repoints the thread's provider-thread row to the new instance's
session before detaching the old one. Detach chose what to unload by
reading that row, so the old app-server never unsubscribed from the native
thread and kept its writer lock, and the new instance's thread/resume
failed with "already has an active writer".
Detach now also unloads the provider thread the session recorded holding
for the app thread, deduped against the projection's rows. The active-turn
interrupt and the native-child owner checks are unchanged. The shared
runtime test now gives its second thread its own native thread, since two
app threads never share one.

Codex keeps an unsubscribed idle thread loaded, and holding its writer
lock, for `thread_unload_delay_secs` (60 s by default). After a
cross-instance switch unsubscribes the old account's app-server, the new
account's resume of the same native thread failed with "already has an
active writer" until that delay passed.
T3 only unsubscribes a thread when it means to unload it (idle unload and
detach), so the per-thread config sent on thread/start, thread/resume and
thread/fork now sets the delay to 0. Recorded Codex replay fixtures carry
the new key.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change releases old Codex threads during account switches and makes immediate thread eviction the app-server default. That default needs human review, particularly because an unresolved external concern identifies possible termination of native child background commands.

Codex launch configuration and thread-unload handling now coordinate with Codex thread closure. Provider-session detach handling retains a pending provider thread and includes it among unload candidates when the session projection omits it.
Launch arguments add thread_unload_delay_secs=0 unless --strict-config is present. Tests check the launch arguments and the adapter’s expected thread configuration.

After an unsubscribed response, unloadThread waits for the matching thread/closed notification. A replay test checks that pending background work is cleared.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 0c6d2
This change makes switching Codex accounts much more likely to release the old writer, but some configurations and timing cases can still leave it held. Launches that use --strict-config keep Codex's 60-second unload delay, and a retried detach can return before closure completes. Resolve or explicitly accept these gaps before merging.

Explanation
The changes address the main [#30630] path. ProviderSessionManager.detach retains the old session's provider thread, and CodexAdapterV2 waits for thread/closed after thread/unsubscribe. The existing unload timeout path remains unchanged. When that wait times out, the unload continues, so the destination can resume before the old writer is released. The new tests cover the normal close notification path, not the timeout path. This does not satisfy [#30630]'s requirement to wait for actual writer release or defer or reject the handoff.
Resolution
If the thread/closed wait times out, do not continue the handoff. Defer or clearly reject the switch until the old writer is released. Add a regression test for the timeout path.

Wait for native writer release before the destination resumes.
CodexAdapterV2.unloadThread waits for thread/unsubscribe, but that response only confirms that the connection subscription was removed. Codex can perform thread eviction and writer shutdown afterward. Setting thread_unload_delay_secs to 0 reduces the delay but does not make the response a writer-release acknowledgment. The destination can therefore resume the moved native thread while the old writer lock remains held.
Gate or defer the destination resume until native unload completes, or reject provider versions that cannot provide that guarantee. The handoff test must cover the provider-level writer-release boundary, not only the manager's mock callback.

Additional report on stable 0.1.7, macOS 26 / Darwin arm64, using Orchestrator v2 and gpt-6.1-sol.
Observed on November 5, 2026 (UTC):
Existing conversation completed runs 1–19 with Codex provider instance A.
The next requested run selected Codex provider instance B with the same model.
At 19:40:22.994, it failed before provider execution started, with the provider-thread-load-failure signal:
This conversation is open in another Codex client, such as the Codex app, the Codex CLI, or an IDE extension. Codex lets one client write to a conversation at a time. Quit that client, then send your message again.
The user forked the conversation to continue on B. The fork successfully started at 19:40:43 and subsequently completed multiple runs.
The user reports that switching Codex providers within the same chat worked previously. The exact first affected release is unknown.
This corroborates the user-visible switching failure described in #30630. We have not inspected process-level writer ownership or established whether these instances share native session storage, so it does not independently confirm this PR's root-cause diagnosis.
Evidence was collected through read-only T3 thread history and environment metadata. No provider restart, configuration change, or recovery attempt was performed during this investigation. Report prepared with Codex assistance; private conversation IDs and content omitted.

Additional evidence for #30630 from November 6: the same account-switching failure recurred on three Linux hosts running T3 0.1.8-nightly.20261106.4275. Codex 0.167.0 was installed in this fleet; the exact executable version was not rechecked on every host during each recovery.
On each host, process and lock inspection identified the previous account's T3-managed codex app-server as the owner of the affected native conversation's writer lock. Its account-specific CODEX_HOME and T3 parent process were verified. The destination account failed to resume that same conversation with the active-writer error.
Before recovery, we checked T3's active runs, including delegated threads, and verified there were none on the old account. Sending SIGTERM only to that idle old-account worker released the affected writer lock. On hosts with other accounts' workers running, those workers remained alive; no full T3 restart or lock-file deletion was needed.
This extends the affected-version evidence beyond the original report and supports the old-account handoff diagnosis. Lock release was verified, but successful post-recovery model turns were not independently verified in these recoveries. We have not tested this PR's branch, so this is recurrence evidence, not validation of the proposed fix.
Prepared with Codex assistance from live process, lock, and T3 run-state inspection. Host names, account names, conversation IDs, and private paths omitted.
Environment: Windows, T3 0.1.8-nightly.20261107.4314, Codex CLI 0.166.0, two existing Codex provider instances sharing native session storage through separate shadow homes.
Observed in a synthetic same-conversation test:
A completed a turn; B subsequently resumed the same native conversation and answered.
An idle switch back from B to A failed before model execution with already has an active writer.
T3 recorded the old session's provider-session.detach effect as succeeded, but the native protocol contained no thread/unsubscribe sent to B for that conversation. A then repeatedly failed to resume it.
Setting thread_unload_delay_secs=0 alone fixed the delay when an unsubscribe was actually sent, but did not resolve the missing-unsubscribe path.
A local Orchestrator workaround retained the source account's provider-thread record and used a separate destination record with the same native thread/head/metadata. After restarting the patched packaged app, a sequential idle A → B → A test completed all three turns with the same synthetic check word. Readback confirmed one native conversation, preserved record ownership, unsubscribe/closed events for the old clients, successful destination resumes, and zero new active-writer errors.
Separately, the original installed dispatch code failed two local binding-preservation checks; the workaround passed all seven checks. Eight switches across four isolated local Codex clients also passed without authentication or model requests, with history preserved and an unrelated conversation still owned by its client.
This corroborates the missing-old-session-unload diagnosis. I have not tested this PR's branch or its implementation, so the local workaround's results are not validation of this PR head. No private conversation IDs, account names, paths, credentials, or raw logs are included.
Prepared with GPT-6.1 Sol in Codex through T3 Code; observations checked against persisted run state and native protocol events.
Additional evidence from a downstream T3 fork (Scient Desktop), with a different trigger for the same missing-unsubscribe path.
Trigger. Our fork replans the native binding on ordinary sends. A Codex conversation attached to the pooled app-server was moved to a replacement session (restart_and_resume), and the provider-thread row was repointed before the old session's provider-session.detach ran. As in #30630, detach then filtered the projection by the old session id, found nothing, and sent no thread/unsubscribe. The replacement app-server's thread/resume failed with thread <id> already has an active writer. No account switch was involved.
What we checked. We applied only this PR's ProviderSessionManager detach hunk (not the per-thread config change) together with #33767's launch argument and closing-thread resume retry, on top of our fork.
Real codex app-server 0.167.0, macOS arm64, isolated temporary CODEX_HOME, no model requests. The probe drove the production Codex adapter and session manager: start a native thread in process A, open replacement process B, repoint the row, detach A, then resume on B.
With a detach that did send thread/unsubscribe (answered unsubscribed) but Codex's default unload delay, B's resume failed with already has an active writer.
With both changes: 10/10 handoffs resumed the same native thread on B, without any extra wait. An earlier variant with the same detach and delay behavior also passed 25/25.
Our regression test for the repointed row (a fake adapter that models one writer per native thread) fails without the held-thread unload and passes with it; an unrelated thread attached to the same pooled session stays loaded.
Not checked. Codex versions other than 0.167.0, Windows/Linux, and the account-switch path itself.
One remaining window. In Codex 0.167.0, thread/unsubscribeanswers before the thread finishes closing, and closure runs asynchronously. Outbox ordering therefore guarantees the unsubscribe reply before the new session's resume, not the writer release. #33767's retry matches only this connection's is closing error; another process resuming in that window gets already has an active writer. We did not observe the window in 35 runs, but in our fork a detach now waits up to 5 s for thread/closed before returning.
Investigated with Claude (claude-opus-5-5) in Scient; reviewed by Codex (gpt-6.1-sol).
4236-4303: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value
The new test covers only the manager's callback, not writer release.
The test shows that detach calls unloadThread for a repointed provider-thread row. That fits the testing rule to cover the regression that changed. It does not show that the native writer lock is released before the destination resumes. The fake unloadThread records the call and returns at once. Provider-level release timing is not tested. This relates to the open writer-release concern on ProviderSessionManager.ts. Cover it where CodexAdapterV2 handles thread/unsubscribe, if you add a wait there.

Protect native child background commands during handoff.
Codex 0.167.0 children inherit this zero delay. When detach unsubscribes a completed child, Codex can evict it immediately and terminate a still-running background command. Preserve that work while releasing the old root thread’s writer.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Complete the close signal even when the thread/closed handler fails or is interrupted.
Effect.andThen runs only if the preceding effect succeeds. The preceding effect is Effect.orDie plus turnTerminalizationPermit.withPermits(1). A defect or interruption while the handler terminalizes settled turns skips Deferred.succeed(closed, undefined).
The unloadThread caller then waits for closed until the UNLOAD_THREAD_TIMEOUT_MS timeout in ProviderSessionManager. The unload fails with a timeout even though Codex closed the thread.
The Deferred.succeed also runs after the permit is released. Move the signal into an Effect.ensuring so it always runs. The signal then reflects the Codex notification, not the success of local projection cleanup.

An unrelated interrupt can hold turnTerminalizationPermit while an MCP capture completes uninterruptible cleanup. If that takes more than two seconds, unloadThread can time out after Codex has already closed the thread.
Complete the close signal independently of that permit while preserving command terminalization. An Effect.ensuring after withPermits still waits for the permit.

Concurrent unloadThread calls can replace the first waiter. The first call can then wait for the two-second timeout even after thread/closed arrives.

A second unloadThread for the same native thread replaced the first
waiter, so the first one waited out the full timeout after thread/closed.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Codex 0.163 ignores thread_unload_delay_secs in per-thread config, so an
unsubscribed thread stayed loaded with its writer and the 2 s close wait
then let the other account's resume fail with "already has an active
writer". Set the delay as an app-server startup override instead, which
0.163 honours and answers with thread/closed, and wait for that close
under the session manager's unload timeout rather than treating a missing
close as a finished unload.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Codex added thread_unload_delay_secs in 0.154, and --strict-config rejects
an unknown -c key at startup. Leave the unload-delay override out when the
launch args ask for strict config; non-strict Codex ignores unknown keys.

the reviewers still had findings after 3 rounds (the work is on main...fix/issue-30630):
[major] apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts:7521: Worse than main: unloadThread now waits for thread/closed after every 'unsubscribed' reply. codexAppServerArgs (apps/server/src/provider/codexLaunchArgs.ts:19) leaves out thread_unload_delay_secs=0 when the launch args contain --strict-config, and without that override Codex keeps the thread loaded and sends no thread/closed. Each unload then waits the full 10 s UNLOAD_THREAD_TIMEOUT_MS and only logs a warning. On origin/main the unload returned as soon as the unsubscribe reply arrived. Smaller fix: wait for thread/closed only when the override was applied, or bound the wait to a short local timeout.
Fails with: Codex provider instance with launch args '--strict-config' on Codex 0.154 or newer (checked on 0.167.1: unsubscribe returns 'unsubscribed' and no thread/closed arrives within 15 s; with the override thread/closed arrives in about 10 ms). Any detach-based switch (account/instance switch, a selection change that restarts the session, or a provider thread handoff) runs detach in EffectWorker.ts:360-371 before providerTurnStart.start. Detach unloads each projected native thread one after another (ProviderSessionManager.ts:2810-2834), so the restarted turn starts 10 s late per native thread (about 30 s for a thread with two subagent children). The same wait holds the thread's attachment lock, so reattaching blocks too. The old account's writer is still not released for these users.

Do not treat notSubscribed as proof of closure.
If an unload times out after Codex accepts the unsubscribe, a subsequent detach can receive notSubscribed while closure is still pending. The detach then returns, so the handoff can resume before the old writer is released.
Share the pending close operation across unload calls, and retain it when a caller is interrupted.

Preserve immediate unload with --strict-config.
With Codex 0.167.0 and --strict-config, this omits the override even though that version supports it. Codex then defaults to a 60-second unload delay, but the session manager stops waiting after 10 seconds and continues detach. The destination can still encounter the old writer lock. Select the override based on version compatibility, or provide another safe handoff path. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

One live data point for the unload-delay case, observed on 2026-11-11 UTC: macOS arm64, Codex CLI 0.167.1, and a custom downstream T3 service build reporting 0.1.8-nightly.20261107.4327.forgejo-auth.1. This was not a test of upstream main or this PR’s head.
During an idle provider-instance switch in an existing chat:
The old T3-managed app-server acknowledged thread/unsubscribe.
All five destination thread/resume attempts failed with already has an active writer; the final failure arrived 4.024 seconds after the acknowledgement.
The old app-server emitted the matching thread/closed 61.214 seconds after the acknowledgement, consistent with the documented 60-second default.
A later retry resumed the same native conversation on the destination instance. No app/shared-provider restart or lock-file removal was performed as part of that recovery.
This isolates a live case where unsubscribe was acknowledged but closure fell well outside the destination’s retry window. Ownership was inferred from correlated protocol events, not lock-file inspection.
Not tested: this PR’s head, --strict-config, or native children/background terminal commands under zero-delay unloading. This evidence does not resolve those outstanding review concerns.

Problem
With two Codex provider instances (accounts) that share session storage, switching an existing thread from account A to account B fails with "This conversation is open in another Codex client". A's app-server, launched by T3, still holds the native thread's writer lock (
thread-writer-locks/<id>.lock), so B'sthread/resumegetsthread <id> already has an active writer. Retrying on B keeps failing; switching back to A works.Reproduced on main with two Codex instances sharing a
CODEX_HOMEthrough shadow homes: send on A, switch the thread to B, send.Change
Two parts, both needed:
ProviderSessionManager.detachnow also unloads the provider thread the old session recorded holding for the app thread. A cross-instance switch repoints the provider-thread row to the new instance's session in the same commit that queues the old session's detach. So detach's projection filter (providerSessionId === old session) found nothing, never sentthread/unsubscribe, and also cancelled the old session's idle unload.CODEX_THREAD_CONFIGsetsthread_unload_delay_secs: 0. After the last unsubscribe, Codex keeps an idle thread loaded, writer lock included, for this delay. T3 only unsubscribes a thread when it means to unload it (idle unload or detach), so Codex now closes it right away and the next instance can resume it.The thread's effects run in outbox order, so the old session's unsubscribe completes before the new session's
