Authorized clients only show the label they were paired with (or a derived OS/browser string), so several devices often look alike and there was no way to tell them apart or fix a bad label.

Fix

  • New POST /api/auth/clients/rename endpoint (requires access:write), backed by EnvironmentAuth.renameSession → SessionStore.rename → AuthSessionRepository.setClientLabel. A successful rename publishes a clientUpserted change, so open Settings pages update live.
  • Settings → Sharing & access → Authorized clients: each client row has a Rename button that opens a small dialog. A failed or no-op rename (e.g. the client was revoked meanwhile) shows an error instead of closing silently.
  • CLI: t3 auth session rename <session-id> <label>.
  • Rename only succeeds on sessions that are still active. T3 Connect DPoP sessions are excluded on the server and get no Rename button: they renew hourly as new sessions, so a rename would silently revert. Persisting renames across those renewals needs storing the proof-key identity and can follow separately.

Mobile has no authorized-clients screen, so it is unaffected.

Testing

  • SessionStore.test.ts: rename updates the listed label and publishes the change; revoked, expired, and DPoP sessions are refused.
  • vp run check:changed passes.

Before/after screenshots still to be added.

Implemented with Claude Opus 5.5 in T3 Code (Claude Code harness); reviewed with Codex GPT-6.1 Sol.

Walkthrough

The change adds session-label renaming for eligible active sessions. It exposes the operation through server HTTP and CLI entry points, adds a rename control to connection settings, and publishes updated active-session data.

Changes: Client session renaming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Persist and publish session renames
apps/server/src/persistence/AuthSessions.ts, apps/server/src/auth/SessionStore.ts, apps/server/src/auth/SessionStore.test.ts
The repository updates the label only for an unrevoked session that is not a DPoP access-token session. SessionStore returns whether the rename succeeded and publishes an updated client-session event on success. Tests cover active, relay, expired, and revoked sessions.
Expose rename through server and CLI
packages/contracts/src/auth.ts, packages/contracts/src/environmentHttp.ts, apps/server/src/auth/EnvironmentAuth.ts, apps/server/src/auth/http.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/auth.ts, apps/server/src/cli/auth.ts, apps/web/test/environmentHttpTest.ts
The contracts define the rename input and result. The server endpoint requires access-write scope, and the client runtime sends the request. The CLI adds a session rename command. The HTTP test server treats this endpoint as unsupported.
Add rename controls to connection settings
apps/web/src/components/settings/AuthorizedClientsSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.tsx
The settings interface adds a rename dialog for connected clients that do not use DPoP access tokens. It trims labels, enforces a 120-character limit, and closes the dialog only when the handler reports success. Access-management scope controls rename and revoke actions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Return false when the label is unchanged.

If a client submits its existing label through the HTTP API or CLI, SQLite updates the matching row and RETURNING makes the rename report success. SessionStore.rename also publishes an unnecessary upsert. Exclude rows whose client_label already equals the requested label.

session exists; preserve the existing behavior for other rename outcomes.

Review comments at @apps/server/src/persistence/AuthSessions.ts:
- Around line 340-342: Update the session update predicate so it matches the
active-session condition used by SessionStore.rename: exclude expired sessions
without a live connection, while still allowing expired sessions with a live
connection. Preserve the existing session_id, revoked_at, and method conditions.

@apps/web/src/components/settings/AuthorizedClientsSettings.tsx:
- Line 517: Update the canSave condition to also require that disabled is false,
so Save is unavailable whenever access management is disabled.

Addressed in d75c50f. On CodeRabbit's outside-diff note (AuthSessions.ts 339-342, unchanged label): I didn't make it return false, because false means no eligible session and the UI shows that as an error. SessionStore.rename now treats an unchanged label as a successful no-op: it doesn't write or publish an upsert, and it returns true.
