fix(client-runtime): returning to a web tab restarts a stalled reconnect - #33103
On web (reported on Android Chromium and Firefox through T3 Connect), returning to a tab that was backgrounded often leaves the environment on " is reconnecting" until a reload. A reconnect that started while the tab was hidden stalls on a request that never settles. The tab-visible wakeup (application-active) did not interrupt an in-flight attempt; only mobile's long-suspension wakeup did. So recovery waited out the 15 s setup timeout and the backoff after it. On T3 Connect, a replacement attempt also joined the stalled credential renewal (30 s timeout).
Reproduced on main in headless Chromium against the web dev server. The driver connects, marks the tab hidden, closes the socket, holds every HTTP request unanswered, then restores the network and marks the tab visible. The banner was still up 3 s after return, and reconnecting took 12.1 s (hidden 3 s), 23.1 s (hidden 30 s) and 16.1 s (CDP-frozen 30 s). A reload connects in about 1 s.
Change
supervisor.ts: on web and desktop, a tab becoming visible now interrupts an in-flight reconnect and starts a fresh attempt with the retry ladder reset. This reuses the restart path that mobile's long-suspension wakeup already takes. A reconnect is any attempt except the first attempt of the first connection. That first attempt is still left alone, and mobile's short resume is unchanged.
authorization/service.ts: when a connection attempt waiting on a pending T3 Connect credential renewal is interrupted, that pending renewal is no longer shared, so the next attempt starts its own. The renewal itself is not cancelled, so HTTP requests already waiting on it still get its result.
docs/internals/connection-runtime.md: the sentence on which wakeups restart an in-flight attempt now covers both changes.
"restarts connection setup that stalled while a web tab was hidden" (main: expected 2 to be 3). It also asserts that a second return restarts the replacement attempt.
"restarts a reconnect that a tab return started from backoff" (without the predicate change: expected 2 to be 3).
"does not let platform wakeups reset an in-flight attempt" still passes unchanged, so the first attempt is still left alone.
authorization/layer.test.ts: "starts a fresh renewal for a connection attempt that replaces a stalled one". On main the replacement joins the stalled renewal and the test times out. Here it gets its own renewal, while an HTTP request that joined the old renewal still receives that renewal's token.
vp test run on both files: 91 passed. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (7 packages) and tests all pass.
Real-app runs on the web dev server: headless Chromium driven by Playwright, 412×915, fresh database per side, direct connection. "Reconnected after" is when the driver's 1 s poll first saw the new socket.

Not verified:
The T3 Connect relay path end to end. No relay is available in this environment, so the credential change is covered only by the layer test.
A real Android device or Firefox.
Desktop: it gets the same tab-visible restart through visibilitychange, but was not run under Electron.
The captures were taken at 40f2030. The later commits change only the T3 Connect credential path and which attempts count as a reconnect; the direct-connection path captured here behaves the same.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
A connection attempt that stalls while a web tab is hidden keeps running
after an `application-active` wakeup, so the client waits out the 15 s
establishment timeout instead of starting a fresh attempt. This test
reproduces #33089.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
A reconnect that started while an Android web tab was hidden can stall on a
request that never settles. Returning to the tab emitted application-active,
which the in-flight attempt ignored, so recovery waited out the 15 s setup
timeout and the backoff after it.
application-active now interrupts an in-flight attempt and resets the retry
ladder when that attempt is a reconnect (attempt > 1 or an earlier failure),
the same condition the UI uses to show "Reconnecting". A first attempt still
ignores it, and mobile's application-active-probe is unchanged.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…edential renewal
Credential renewal is shared between callers, so the attempt the supervisor
starts after a tab returns joined the renewal its stalled predecessor was
waiting on and still waited out the 30 second renewal timeout.
An interrupted connection attempt now forgets the pending renewal it was
waiting on without interrupting it: HTTP requests that joined it keep
waiting, and the next attempt issues its own bootstrap and token exchange.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…t attempt
The attempt that replaces a stalled reconnect starts at attempt 1 with no
recorded failure, so a later tab return left it alone. It now counts as a
reconnect too.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…n tab return
A lost session whose retry ladder was reset (a tab return during backoff, a
failed health check) reconnects as attempt 1 with no recorded failure, so a
later tab return left it stalled. Count every attempt after the first
connection as a reconnect.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Returning to a tab restarts an in-progress reconnect and lets it obtain a fresh credential renewal instead of sharing a potentially stalled one. Existing authorization safeguards and other HTTP waiters remain intact, limiting the change to connection recovery.

The connection supervisor now restarts reconnect establishment when the application becomes active. Connection token lookups clear their matching pending renewal entry when interrupted, allowing a later attempt to start a new renewal while existing waiters can still complete.

Summary
Restart reconnects on activation packages/client-runtime/src/connection/supervisor.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/connection/supervisor.test.ts, docs/internals/connection-runtime.md
An application-active wakeup restarts establishment when the attempt is a reconnect. Tests cover repeated activation, and the documentation describes the restart rules.
Separate interrupted credential renewals packages/client-runtime/src/authorization/service.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/authorization/layer.test.ts
Connection token lookups track pending renewal IDs and clear a matching entry when interrupted. Other callers waiting on the renewal can complete, and a later connection attempt can start a new renewal.

pingdotgg/t3code#22024 — The issue requests an explicit retry during reconnect. This change restarts an in-progress reconnect when the application becomes active.
pingdotgg/t3code#24897 — The issue describes a client stuck reconnecting after sleep. This change restarts an in-progress reconnect on application activation, but does not address the host-side DPoP lock.
The change is mergeable with a bounded test follow-up. Add coverage for a connection attempt joining an existing renewal so future changes do not leave returning tabs waiting on a stalled request.

Explanation
Issue #33089 requires the web client to resume reconnect attempts when a backgrounded tab becomes visible. supervisor.ts now interrupts an in-flight reconnect on application-active and starts a fresh attempt. The first connection attempt remains exempt. The authorization service lets a replacement attempt start a new T3 Connect credential renewal without cancelling the old renewal for existing waiters. The supervisor and authorization tests cover these behaviors. The documentation describes the changes.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed supervisor, authorization, test, and documentation code supports the fix for #33089. However, the application-active restart condition is not platform-gated. The PR states that mobile short-resume behavior is unchanged, but the reviewed evidence does not establish whether mobile short resume emits application-active during a reconnect. This leaves a possible change outside the web and desktop behavior described by the PR.
Resolution
Inspect the mobile wakeup event source or provide a focused test that establishes whether a mobile short resume emits application-active during a reconnect.

Extend this test to cover an HTTP request starting the stalled renewal before the connection attempt joins it. After interrupting the connection attempt, assert that its replacement gets a fresh ticket and the HTTP request still receives the late token. This catches an owner-only cleanup regression without assuming the current implementation fails.
