Problem

Settling a thread kept its device sessions open, so the thread kept its agent-device claim on the device. To reproduce: open a device in thread A, let the agent finish without device_close, then settle A. Thread B can't use that device until someone reopens A and has its agent close the device. On main, settle cleanup (cleanUpSettledThread) closes terminals and runs the settle script, but never touches devices. Only device_close releases a device.

Change

After a thread's terminals close on settle, the server releases each of the thread's device sessions with DeviceService.close({ threadId, hostId, deviceId }), the same release device_close does. The device stays booted; only the thread's agent-device session and claim end.
Manual settle, auto-settle and agent settle all emit thread.settled, so this one place covers every settle path.
Releases run in their own fiber set beside the settlement event loop, and drain waits for them. A release waits on the device service's lifecycle lock, which a starting device host can hold for minutes; run inline, it would hold up every other thread's settle cleanup. The settle script no longer waits on device releases.
Each device is released separately:
- A thread with no devices never takes the lifecycle lock.
- A release that fails, such as on an SSH host that is reconnecting, is logged and doesn't stop the thread's other devices.
DeviceService.close takes an optional server-side when check that runs under the lifecycle lock; when it returns false, nothing is released. Settlement passes "the thread is still settled", so a thread reopened while its release waits for the lock keeps its devices. The DeviceCloseInput contract is unchanged.
Archive and delete are unchanged.
The settle section of the thread sidebar user guide now says settling releases the thread's devices and leaves them booted.

Scope and approval

Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#32511

Triaged via the automated issue flow.

Verification

Focused tests: apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.test.ts passes 39/39 and apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.test.ts passes 63/63.

Test	Without the change
releases a settled thread's devices without shutting them down	fails on main: no device close for the settled thread
releases the other devices and runs the settle script when one release fails	fails without per-device release or without the error handling
leaves the device service alone for a settled thread without devices	fails with an unconditional close
closes another thread's terminals while a device release waits on the lock	hangs when releases run inline in the event loop
keeps the devices of a thread re-engaged while a release waits on the lock	fails when the settled check runs before the lock: the re-engaged thread's device is released
`DeviceService`: releases only the caller's session, keeps the device booted, and is idempotent (new assertion: a close waiting on the real lifecycle lock rechecks `when` after the thread re-engages)	fails if `close` ignores `when`, or checks it before taking the lock: the re-engaged thread's session is released
skips the settle script for a thread re-engaged while its shells close (existing; new assertion)	fails without the recheck

vp run check:changed passes at a45db96e1f: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages), tests (3 files). That head merges main and changes only tests and the user guide after the evidence head; both source files are byte-identical to 45db81569d, so the runtime transcript below still applies.

Review: two independent reviewers, two rounds; both returned merge with no confirmed findings on a45db96e1f. One reviewer re-ran the focused tests with mutations: checking when before the lock, dropping when, releasing inline, skipping the release, or closing unconditionally each fails at least one test. One reviewer also checked the when guard against the real DeviceService lifecycle lock with a fake host: the guard runs after the lock is acquired and the re-engaged thread keeps its session.

Runtime transcript from the real server on fresh databases (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0), with a Simlock pool device host and an Android Pixel 9 (API 36), Linux x86_64, Node 26.12.1. Both drivers use the same fixture and RPC sequence: create thread A, open the device for A, settle A, then read the device sessions. Both wait for the persisted thread.settled and successful cleanup; the after driver also waits for the asynchronous release and a device state update without A. Before is main at d313b2aff3; after is 45db81569d.

A server-only change with no visible render path, so there are no captures. The Device panels already update from the device session list, as they do after device_close.

Not checked:

Windows, and a physical device over adb.
An end-to-end conflict between two agents on a local host. On a Simlock host the pool owns the lease, so thread B could open the device on both sides; the transcript shows A's session release, not an exclusive claim moving to B. DeviceService tests already cover the local agent-device release that close performs.
The lock-wait and re-engagement races on a live SSH host. Settlement tests model the lock wait with Deferred barriers; the DeviceService test holds the real lifecycle lock and verifies that a thread re-engaged during the wait keeps its session.
A release that fails because its SSH host is disconnected is logged and not retried when the host reconnects. That session stays until device_close, as every session does on main.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Walkthrough

Thread settlement now retrieves a thread’s device sessions and attempts to close them. DeviceService evaluates an optional close condition under its lifecycle lock. Settlement cleanup logs close failures, tracks release work, and makes drain wait for that work.

Changes: Device cleanup during settlement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add conditional device closing `apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.ts`, `apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.test.ts`	`DeviceService.close` accepts an optional effect that can prevent session closure. The condition runs under the lifecycle lock. A test verifies that sessions remain open when the condition returns `false`.
Close device sessions during settled-thread cleanup `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.test.ts`, `docs/user/thread-sidebar.md`	`ThreadSettlementServiceV2` attempts to close sessions only while the thread remains settled. It tracks release work and logs failures. Tests cover concurrent releases, re-engagement during a pending close, host-unavailable errors, and threads without sessions. The documentation states that released devices remain booted.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Explanation

[#32511] Settlement cleanup now enumerates the settled thread’s device sessions and calls DeviceService.close for each. The close guard checks that the thread remains settled under the lifecycle lock. Separate tracked fibers prevent a slow device release from blocking other settlement cleanup, and per-device errors do not stop other releases. Tests cover release without shutdown, re-engagement, lock waits, failures, and threads without devices. The documentation describes the same behavior.

A reopened thread loses its device session when cleanup has already passed the settled check and devices.close is waiting for the lifecycle lock. The check at line 611 happens before that wait, and DeviceService.close selects sessions after acquiring the lock without rechecking settlement; revalidate the thread state after lock acquisition or cancel the pending close on unsettle.

Retry failed device releases after host recovery.
If an SSH host is disconnected during settlement, DeviceService.close leaves the session and claim intact. Reconnection can reuse the same daemon, but does not retry the close. The claim can then block another thread until the old session is explicitly closed. Retry failed releases without blocking other devices, and retain the settled-state check.

Test the condition after a real lock wait.
Hold the real device lifecycle lock, start a conditional close, change the condition, then release the lock. Assert that the session remains. The current test uses a constant condition, and the settlement test mocks the lock wait, so neither catches a check moved before lock acquisition.

Evidence

Enable device access, create idle threads A and B, open a pooled Android Pixel 9 for A, settle A, observe device state for five seconds, then open the same device for B. Both sides use fresh synthetic databases and the same RPC driver.

Environment: real Linux development servers in separate worktrees; Android Pixel 9 pool host. Videos render recorded server-RPC output at 1280×800 in dark presentation.

Before	After
d756fed7aa	5d758c463d
Before recording	After recording
A retains one session after settlement; device remains marked booted.	A has zero sessions by the first one-second checkpoint; device remains marked booted.

Scope: proves session cleanup. B opens successfully on both sides because this pool host shares its agent session; DEVICE_IN_USE and exclusive claim release were not demonstrated. No desktop interaction or provider turn was exercised.

Not shown:

Exclusive agent-device claim release and DEVICE_IN_USE: the available pool host shares its agent session, so B opened successfully on base too; no local adb device was attached.
Desktop sidebar settlement after a completed agent turn: exercised the real server settlement command using idle synthetic threads instead.
Physical device power continuity: the real server reported the pooled device booted throughout; no independent device screen capture was taken.
Failure isolation across multiple devices, unreachable hosts, and re-engagement races were not exercised.
Origin freshness: fetch returned HTTP 503; the base was computed using the existing origin/main ref and locally available requested head.

Hit this today on a real iOS Simulator, so adding a data point from a setup the issue and the evidence here don't cover: local macOS host, iPhone simulator, Claude provider, device tools hub 0.22.1 / agent-device 0.21.36.

What I saw:

Thread A opened the simulator, drove an app on it, and finished its turn without device_close. Thread A was then settled.
Thread B's device_open on the same simulator succeeded, but agent-device open failed with DEVICE_IN_USE, naming another t3-… session.
open --wait 90000 started before A was settled and expired about 40 seconds after the settle, still held. Retries about 3 and 5 minutes after the settle failed the same way.
The holder's session name equals the hash of [thread A id, "local", device id], so the claim belonged to the settled thread, not to an active one.

Thread B's agent could not tell which thread held the device; it had to guess from timestamps in the device state directory.

I have not run this branch yet.

Merge origin/main into fix/issue-325110d00de5

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:

Permanent blocker: this reproduction requires an Android device attached through local adb with separate per-thread agent-device claims. This VM has no attached adb devices; its available pooled adapter supplies a lease-wide agent session and no releaseAgentSession callback, so it cannot establish the required DEVICE_IN_USE failure and successful handoff.
Settlement releasing device sessions and claims without powering off the device was not demonstrated on either commit.
The settled recheck under the lifecycle lock and per-device failure isolation were not exercised in the real app.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

test(server): cut settle device tests to the cases a regression would failde7040e

JJulius Marminge1d ago

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.

On both commits, opened Settings → Devices, enabled Use devices, and inspected Android availability. Both reported Android unavailable because Android Emulator was missing. adb devices -l listed no devices. Successfully leased and released a pooled Pixel 9, but its proxy connection did not supply the local adb device required for this reproduction. No thread acquired an exclusive local claim; settlement and reacquisition were not executed.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
