Summary

Carry of #6900 by @WOULDU-pres onto dev. The six original commits are preserved with their author. Maintainers could not push the review fixes to the fork branch, so they are added here.

A Home-initiated Remote Link (the Home's ssh -R tunnel) never recovered after a network drop (#6899). A reconnect that came up while the link was reconnecting was killed five minutes later as failed: timeout. On the Home, failed was terminal, and the dashboard's Retry only re-read status.

The original commits do four things:

  • They give the Home's tunnel a bounded retry policy.
  • They promote a surviving retry before the outage limit applies.
  • They scope exits and stops to their child generation.
  • They make Retry restart a Home link's tunnel through a new authenticated, CSRF-checked mutation endpoint.

Review fixes on top:

  • Reconnect is serialized with reload, removal and shutdown. All four now run through one lifecycle queue. After the old child exits, the current record and listener ownership are resolved again. A link that was removed, changed, or switched to client-owned during the wait is never respawned (independent review R1/R1b/R1c, Codex P2).
  • DELETE holds the link until removal finishes. The hold covers child stop, remote disconnect, key revocation and store removal. The supervisor store is reloaded before the hold is released. Previously, a concurrent reconnect could rebuild a just-deleted tunnel.
  • Global stop waits for a draining reconnect child (review R2).
  • Retry stays disabled until the status refresh after a reconnect completes (Codex P2).
  • Retry reconnects every failed Home link (CodeRabbit, React Doctor). The reconnect requests run concurrently and the first failure is reported, so one failing link no longer stops the rest.
  • An inherited ssh pipe cannot stall the supervisor (CodeRabbit). After ssh exits, its tunnel output gets 250 ms to drain, then the readers are cancelled and released. Stderr bytes already read are kept, so host-key and auth failures are still classified correctly.

The host-key failure stays terminal and the auth retry bound is unchanged.

Closes #6899

Verification

  • bun test on link-supervisor, link-tunnel-state, link-management-routes, link-join-route, management-route-registry, cli-link and skill-ocx: 147 pass, 0 fail. After the ssh drain fix, the link client suites (link-ssh-argv, link-ssh-config, link-supervisor, link-tunnel-state, client-link-tunnel) pass 104 with 1 PowerShell skip; the new pipe-never-closes cases failed before the fix.
    • This includes deterministic deferred-child-exit regressions for R1, R1b, R1c (real handleManagementAPI with a concurrent force DELETE) and R2. Each failed before the fix.
  • From gui/, bun test tests/remote-link.test.tsx: 48 pass, 0 fail. The deferred-refresh Retry cases failed before the fix.
  • bun run typecheck, (cd gui && bunx tsc -b --force --noEmit), bun run lint:gui, bun run skill:surface:check, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan, and the ratchet and test-layout tests all pass.
  • npx react-doctor@0.9.11 gui --no-dead-code no longer reports await-in-loop in RemoteLink.tsx.
  • Final-head delta review at d307403e52 passed (119 link tests, 48 GUI tests, plus a real Bun subprocess with an inherited pipe draining in 250 ms).
  • An independent review covered the new endpoint's production auth and CSRF admission, finding no bypass. It also checked the promotion and failure transitions.
  • The full suite was not run locally, because several lanes share this host. Hosted CI runs it on the exact head.
  • Screenshots from the original PR:

Failed Home link with Retry

After Retry the link is connecting

The link is connected again

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

The Home ran its link tunnels without a retry policy, so a failed link
stayed failed until a proxy restart. A retry that came back up was also
promoted only by a catalog request from the Child, so an idle Child's
healthy reconnect was killed at the five-minute outage limit: one network
blip took the link down for good.

- run the Home supervisor with HOME_TUNNEL_RETRY_POLICY, the same cadence
  as the Child's own tunnel (timeout/forward 60 s, auth 5 min, host key never)
- promote a retry whose ssh child outlives a 15 s grace, longer than ssh's
  ConnectTimeout, as five seconds already promotes a first attempt
- keep a retry running while the state reads failed, and let a retry that
  started just before the outage limit finish its grace
- spawn on reload only for a fresh link or a due attempt
- report an exit even when its stderr cannot be read
- document the Home policy in structure/remote-link.md and the Remote Link
  guide (all locales)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A retry whose grace ended on the tick that reached FAILED_AFTER_MS, or one
still running when a tick arrived late after a sleep, was first reduced to
failed and then killed instead of promoted. Check promotion before the tick
so a child that has outlived its grace is kept.

Addresses the Codex review on #6900.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The exit handler drops the child before it awaits stderr. A tick in that
window could fail the link on the outage clock with a one-minute retryAt,
and the host-key exit that followed was then ignored, so a changed host
key was retried. Skip the tick while an exit is still being classified.

Addresses the second Codex review on #6900.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
In the failed state the dashboard's Retry only re-read /api/link/status,
so a link the supervisor had given up on stayed failed until a proxy
restart. Retry now restarts the tunnel of each failed or reconnecting
Home-initiated link, without restarting OpenCodex.

- LinkSupervisor.reconnect(linkId): wait for a running reload, stop the
  link's child, forget its backoff or failed state and spawn a fresh attempt
- POST /api/link/{id}/reconnect for a dashboard session or the loopback
  admin token; a Child-initiated link is refused (409
  link_not_home_initiated) because the Child owns that tunnel
- ocx link reconnect --link-id <id> [--json]
- an exit that finishes after a reconnect started a fresh child no longer
  overwrites the new attempt's state
- docs: Remote Link guide (all locales), structure docs, generated ocx
  skill surface

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ConnectTimeout covers the TCP connect, the SSH handshake and key exchange;
authentication and the remote forward request come after it. Say so in the
supervisor comment and structure/remote-link.md, and record that liveness
promotion is the same heuristic the first attempt uses.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…nnect on the listener

- every spawn bumps a per-link generation; an exit still classifying its
  stderr, or a stop still waiting for its child, applies only while its
  generation is current, so a reconnect's new child keeps its own state
- the draining marker records its generation and is cleared by a newer spawn
- overlapping reconnects for one link share one restart
- POST /api/link/{id}/reconnect requires the link listener to be listening
  (503 listener_unavailable), as apply does, before it starts a forward
- structure/remote-link.md lists ocx link reconnect in the CLI inventory

Addresses the CodeRabbit and Codex reviews of c0a377a on #6900.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Run reconnect, reload, stopLink and shutdown through one per-supervisor lifecycle queue. After the old child exits, re-resolve the current record and listener ownership, so a link removed, changed or made client-owned during the wait is never respawned (review R1, R1b, R1c; Codex P2).
- DELETE holds its link through child stop, remote disconnect, key revocation and store removal, then reloads the supervisor store before releasing the hold.
- Global stop now waits for a reconnect's draining child (review R2).
- Retry stays disabled until the status refresh after reconnect completes (Codex P2).

Home-initiated SSH tunnels now retry eligible failures. A new reconnect operation restarts an eligible Home-initiated tunnel through the management API, dashboard Retry action, or ocx link reconnect command. The changes also coordinate reconnects with link removal, reload, and shutdown.

Changes

Home-initiated link recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry policy and supervised tunnel lifecycle
src/link/tunnel-state.ts, src/link/supervisor.ts, tests/clients/link-supervisor.test.ts, structure/remote-link.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/*/guides/remote-link.md
The Home supervisor now applies the retry policy to Home-initiated tunnels. It promotes retry children after a grace period and coordinates retry state with child exits, reloads, reconnects, and shutdown. Tests cover retry timing, terminal host-key failures, outage handling, and lifecycle races.
Reconnect API and lifecycle coordination
src/server/management/link-routes.ts, src/server/management/route-registry.ts, tests/server/link-management-routes.test.ts, structure/gui-and-management-api.md, structure/remote-link.md
A new management route validates reconnect requests and starts eligible Home-initiated links. Link removal holds the link in the supervisor while the tunnel stops and removal cleanup runs. Route tests cover authorization, eligibility, listener availability, and concurrent operations.
Dashboard and CLI reconnect actions
gui/src/pages/RemoteLink.tsx, gui/src/remote-link-api.ts, gui/tests/remote-link.test.tsx, src/cli/*, tests/cli/cli-link.test.ts, skills/ocx/references/*, docs-site/src/content/docs/*/guides/remote-link.md
Dashboard Retry reconnects failed or reconnecting Home-initiated links, then refreshes status; the button stays disabled while the operation and refresh are pending. The CLI adds ocx link reconnect --link-id <id> [--json], with link-ID validation and response checks. References and localized guides document the command and retry behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 87ad4

Home links now recover automatically, and Retry reconnects them. In two edge cases recovery can stall: Retry stops after the first link that fails to reconnect, and a link whose SSH error output never finishes stops retrying. Both are small follow-ups and are not merge-blocking.

…ement ingress (carry #6892) (#6913)

* fix: restore remote hub browser pairing

Carry of #6892 onto dev (the original targets main and is 26 commits behind dev).

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(link): preserve loopback management access and harden pairing recovery

- Resolve a loopback Host before the marked hub-management public-origin check, so ocx gui and local CLI calls to 127.0.0.1:<management port> keep working (Codex P1, review S1-01).
- Offer pairing recovery only for 401/403 status failures, not offline, 5xx or malformed responses.
- Move focus into the manual pairing form when recovery opens it.
- Thread the pairing AbortController through session validation so an unmounted form cannot apply stale App state.
- Translate the new pairing errors in every locale and update the owning structure docs.

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs(structure): scope the management-listener pairing guarantee to what the runtime enforces

Independent security review S2-02: the public listener with authentication on still redeems a grant presented with the canonical public Host/Origin, unchanged from dev.

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs(structure): keep the pairing recovery note in its own paragraph

Avoids an adjacent-line conflict with #6915's dashboard route list update; content unchanged.

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(gui): retain pairing validation retries and roll back rejected sessions

Keep the consumed grant out of retry submissions and validate the installed
candidate without automatic session renewal or admin-token fallback.
Use an opaque in-memory handoff to restore the previous shared session on
definitive rejection or cancellation while preserving newer logins.

Cover transient retries, 401/403 rollback, cancellation, and App recovery.
Add retry copy to all locales and document the handoff contract.

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(gui): preserve pairing rollback ownership after background 401

Carry opaque handoff ownership through automatic session invalidation so
validation rejection and cancellation still restore the previous session.
Keep newer login, explicit logout, and target replacement authoritative.

Add concurrent recovery and supersession regressions, including malformed
bootstrap recovery and Cloudflare challenge retry. Qualify the remote hub
and structure documentation around definitive rejection and restoration.

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(gui): discard session recovery from superseded generations

Bind recovery to the runtime and session generation that started it. Check
that revision after bootstrap headers and body, before credential changes
and admin-token fallback, and before authenticated retry and invalidation.
Rollback, login, logout, and target replacement supersede older recovery;
unchanged target refreshes retain current recovery and shared resolution.

Cover deferred headers/body with valid and malformed HTML across rejection,
cancellation, newer login, logout, target round trips, and current recovery.
Document the scoped recovery and rollback guarantees.

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(gui): preserve explicit session authority across pairing and recovery

Block automatic invalidation and recovery during and after logout until an
explicit login or target replacement supersedes it. Track overlapping logout
requests so a successful logout remains authoritative even if another fails.
Capture the pairing revision before sending the exchange and attach handoff
ownership before synchronous session events. Superseded exchanges cannot
install credentials after delayed headers or body completion.
Keep watchdog write cancellation separate from current-request notification
so timeouts still report an unavailable session without admitting late writes.

Cover deferred exchanges, both logout/recovery response orders, explicit login,
overlapping logout, reentrant session events and watchdog ordering. Synchronize
the pairing and recovery contracts in both documentation surfaces.

Co-authored-by: Bướm Em <91105424+BuomEm@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(gui): guard discovery bootstrap and bound pairing requests

Route App discovery bootstrap through automatic recovery authority captured
before fetching, so delayed headers or bodies cannot supersede logout or a
newer session. Share a deadline helper across bootstrap and pairing that also
settles signal-dropping transports. Bound pairing exchange and validation
through body consumption, preserve validation retry ownership on timeout,
and roll back an unreturned exchange handoff on lifecycle cancellation.

Cover App discovery/recovery/logout ordering, delayed valid and malformed
bootstrap HTML, stalled exchange and validation headers/body, deadline
fallbacks and cancellation. Synchronize the documented contracts.
