fix(server): stop the relay client a crashed server left running - #34960
Cause: ManagedEndpointRuntime spawned cloudflared (detached:false) and stopped it only through scope finalizers; nothing recorded the connector between server runs, so after a crash, kill -9, OOM or force quit the orphan kept serving the tunnel and the next server started a second connector beside it. Fix: a new apps/server/src/cloud/RelayClientLedger.ts, following the OpenCodeServerLedger pattern but for a single pid rather than a process group, because cloudflared shares the server's process group. After each successful spawn, the runtime records the client's pid, start time and full command line, plus the owning server's pid and start time, in /relay-clients/.json. The record is deleted by a finalizer on the connector scope that is registered before the spawn, so it runs only after the spawner's finalizer has waited for the client to exit. The ledger layer reaps records synchronously at construction, before the runtime can spawn: a record whose owner is still running or cannot be read is kept. Otherwise the client gets SIGTERM, then SIGKILL after up to 2 s, but only while its pid still has the recorded start time and command line, so a recycled pid is never signalled. Then the record is removed. server.ts provides the ledger from ServerConfig.stateDir. Linux and macOS only, like the OpenCode ledger. The one new regex parses macOS ps -o pid=,stat=,lstart=,args= lines; it is the same shape as the OpenCode ledger's (anchored, fixed-width fields, a single \s+ before a final .*), linear on adversarial input, and it only reads ps output. Reproduced with a scratch driver (not committed) that builds the real runtime layer, uses a stub cloudflared via T3CODE_CLOUDFLARED_PATH, and kills the owner with kill -9. Without the ledger, orphan 38395 was reparented to the subreaper and kept running beside the new 38431. With the fix, the restarted runtime logged 'Stopping a relay client left by a previous T3 Code server' for 38534 and only 38573 ran; a graceful stop then removed the client and its record. Not verified: a live T3 Connect tunnel, and macOS itself (the macOS observation path was exercised on Linux via procps ps).
Commit ff599f0 (origin/main). I wrote a scratch Node driver that builds the real CloudManagedEndpointRuntime layer (real process spawner, RelayClient.layerCloudflared with an isolated base directory, real ServerSecretStore, FetchHttpClient) and calls applyConfig with a synthetic cloudflare_tunnel connector token until it reports running. The managed cloudflared 2026.10.4 was installed and started. Run 1: owner pid 25643, cloudflared tunnel ... run pid 25679, a child of 25643. kill -9 25643 left 25679 running, reparented to the session subreaper (ppid 1281). Run 2 of the same driver on the same base directory logged 'Relay client process started' with a new pid 26313. ps then listed two cloudflared tunnel processes: the orphan 25679 and the new 26313. The new runtime never stopped or saw the orphan. With the synthetic token the orphan later exited by itself (its tunnel never registers); with a real token it would keep serving. I could not test a live linked T3 Connect tunnel on this VM.

Tests
vp test run src/cloud/RelayClientLedger.test.ts src/cloud/ManagedEndpointRuntime.test.ts (apps/server): 32 passed. New RelayClientLedger.test.ts runs with real processes, observing as linux and as darwin (procps ps): stops a dead server's client and keeps a live server's; never signals a recycled pid and drops the stale record; forgets a stopped client. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip 1/2 and 2/2, graphql, typecheck (3 packages), test (3 files, 34 tests) all pass. Manual before/after reproduction with the real runtime layer, a stub cloudflared and kill -9 of the owner, as described in the summary.
Not in this change
Windows records nothing, so an orphaned cloudflared there is still not reaped (same limitation as OpenCodeServerLedger).
OpenCodeServerLedger and RelayClientLedger duplicate the /proc and ps process-identity code; extracting a shared helper would be a separate refactor.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
A server that died without running its finalizers (crash, kill -9, OOM,
force quit) left cloudflared running, and the next server started a second
connector beside it. Nothing recorded the connector between runs.
The server now records each relay client it starts (pid, start time and
command line, plus its own pid and start time) under the state directory
and forgets it once the client has stopped. On startup, before any
connector starts, it stops a recorded client whose server is gone, but
only while the pid still has the recorded start time and command line,
so a recycled pid is never signalled. Linux and macOS only, like the
OpenCode server ledger.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change records relay processes and stops clients left behind after server crashes. Unanswered review concerns about startup proceeding when orphan cleanup is unresolved require a decision on preventing competing tunnel connectors.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The change adds a relay-client process ledger, reaps orphaned clients during server startup, and connects ledger tracking to the managed endpoint runtime’s connector lifecycle.
Changes: Relay-client cleanup
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Process identity and ledger tracking apps/server/src/cloud/RelayClientLedger.ts
The ledger records relay-client and owner process identities, including PID and start time, and returns a cleanup effect that removes the entry. Linux and macOS use platform-specific process observation; unsupported platforms use no-op tracking.
The production layer scans ledger entries before providing the service. It retains entries unless the owner is confirmed gone, and signals a client only when its recorded identity still matches. Tests cover dead and live owners and stale process identity.
The server provides the ledger using its configured state directory. The runtime tracks spawned relay clients and registers ledger cleanup in the connector scope. An interruption test checks connector cleanup when tracking is interrupted.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 99ff9
The change reaps relay clients left behind by an unclean server exit. In some failure paths, such as an orphan that cannot be stopped or an unreadable ledger directory, startup can still proceed beside a leftover client. An interrupted activation can also leave a live tunnel client unsupervised. These edge cases should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

Explanation
The title names the fix and the component: it stops a relay client (cloudflared) that a crashed server left running. The changeset adds RelayClientLedger, which reaps orphaned relay clients on the next server start, so the title matches the main change. It uses the conventional commit format. The title does not say that the fix happens at startup, but it is accurate and specific.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It has Problem (the Cause paragraph), Change (the Fix paragraph), Scope (bug fix that links issue #21701), and Verification (tests, manual reproduction, and what was not verified). It also notes that the Windows case and the duplicated process-identity code are out of scope. The Evidence section is a placeholder that says the before/after capture is pending and that it must be filled in before merge. The template requires before/after screenshots for UI changes only, and this change is not a UI change, so the placeholder is a minor gap. The description also contains a long, dense Cause and Fix paragraph and a regex note, which is more detail than the template asks for, but the required information is present.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#21701] Requirements: after an unclean server exit, the next server stops the relay client left by the dead server before it starts its own, signals only the same process, and keeps identity time-zone independent. Relay-client ledger logic in RelayClientLedger.ts is unchanged between the previous reviewed head (7527d08) and head (99ff942), so the earlier conclusions on it still hold: records are written under <stateDir>/relay-clients, reaped during layer construction, kept when the owner is running or unreadable, and signalled only when the recorded pid, start time and command match. The incremental change in ManagedEndpointRuntime.ts wraps the record-and-activate step in Effect.uninterruptible. This closes a window where an interrupt could spawn a client that no record or active connector owned. It does not change the reap-before-spawn behaviour. The diff does not touch the finalizer ordering, which the previous review did not confirm from source; this does not affect the issue requirement, which the ledger reap path satisfies. Automated tests cover orphan stop, recycled-pid safety and forgetting stopped clients. The PR reports a manual reproduction; I did not rerun it. Windows is not covered and the issue does not require it.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The incremental change since the previous review touches ManagedEndpointRuntime.ts (uninterruptible record-and-activate block) and ManagedEndpointRuntime.test.ts (new test that interrupts applyConfig during recording and checks that the spawned connector is killed). Both serve #21701: they keep a spawned relay client tracked by the ledger, so a later server can reap it. RelayClientLedger.ts, RelayClientLedger.test.ts, and server.ts are unchanged in this increment and were already judged related to the objective. The note that OpenCodeServerLedger duplicates process-identity code is a stated follow-up, not an unrelated change. No unrelated change was found.

Close the connector scope if tracking is interrupted.
relayClientLedger.track performs process observation and a file write after spawn. If the reconcile fiber is interrupted during that work, activeRef has not acquired the child. Neither the spawn-failure handler nor stopActive closes the manually created connectorScope. The child can keep running without an active connector owner. Protect the spawn-to-ownership transition with interruption cleanup that closes connectorScope.

Do not finish startup while a recorded orphan remains unresolved.
If the owner is gone but stopOrphan returns false, reapEntry retains the record and returns successfully. The layer then becomes available, so the runtime can start another connector while the old one may still run. Propagate an unresolved-cleanup result to the startup layer and prevent a replacement until the old client is confirmed gone.

Only treat a missing ledger directory as an empty ledger.
orElseSucceed(() => []) also hides permission and I/O failures from readDirectory. In that case reapOrphans skips cleanup without logging, and layer still returns. A client left by a crashed server can then keep running beside the new connector. A missing directory is the normal first-run case, so keep it as empty. Propagate other errors. Use the error.reason._tag === "NotFound" check already used in pinnedRuntime.ts.
A non-NotFound error now fails layer, so the server cannot start until the state directory is readable. If that is too strict, log the error at warning level instead.

Interruption can leave an activated relay client without observers or supervision.
The protected block publishes the connector to activeRef, but the four Effect.forkIn calls run after the block ends. An interrupt that lands at that boundary can skip them. The tunnel process then runs with no output observer, no exit supervisor, and no registration or readiness watch. A client exit in that state is not restarted until runtime shutdown reaches the activeRef cleanup path.
Start the observer and supervisor fibers before the activation block exits, or make the forks part of the same transition. Keep those fibers interruptible so connectorScope can still close.

takeover:in-progress
Cause: ManagedEndpointRuntime spawned cloudflared (detached:false) and stopped it only through scope finalizers; nothing recorded the connector between server runs, so after a crash, kill -9, OOM or force quit the orphan kept serving the tunnel and the next server started a second connector beside it. Fix: a new apps/server/src/cloud/RelayClientLedger.ts, following the OpenCodeServerLedger pattern but for a single pid rather than a process group, because cloudflared shares the server's process group. After each successful spawn, the runtime records the client's pid, start time and full command line, plus the owning server's pid and start time, in /relay-clients/.json. The record is deleted by a finalizer on the connector scope that is registered before the spawn, so it runs only after the spawner's finalizer has waited for the client to exit. The ledger layer reaps records synchronously at construction, before the runtime can spawn: a record whose owner is still running or cannot be read is kept. Otherwise the client gets SIGTERM, then SIGKILL after up to 2 s, but only while its pid still has the recorded start time and command line, so a recycled pid is never signalled. Then the record is removed. server.ts provides the ledger from ServerConfig.stateDir. Linux and macOS only, like the OpenCode ledger. The one new regex parses macOS
ps -o pid=,stat=,lstart=,args=lines; it is the same shape as the OpenCode ledger's (anchored, fixed-width fields, a single \s+ before a final .*), linear on adversarial input, and it only reads ps output. Reproduced with a scratch driver (not committed) that builds the real runtime layer, uses a stub cloudflared via T3CODE_CLOUDFLARED_PATH, and kills the owner with kill -9. Without the ledger, orphan 38395 was reparented to the subreaper and kept running beside the new 38431. With the fix, the restarted runtime logged 'Stopping a relay client left by a previous T3 Code server' for 38534 and only 38573 ran; a graceful stop then removed the client and its record. Not verified: a live T3 Connect tunnel, and macOS itself (the macOS observation path was exercised on Linux via procps ps).Fixes #21701
Reproduction on main
Commit ff599f0 (origin/main). I wrote a scratch Node driver that builds the real CloudManagedEndpointRuntime layer (real process spawner, RelayClient.layerCloudflared with an isolated base directory, real ServerSecretStore, FetchHttpClient) and calls applyConfig with a synthetic cloudflare_tunnel connector token until it reports running. The managed cloudflared 2026.10.4 was installed and started. Run 1: owner pid 25643,
cloudflared tunnel ... runpid 25679, a child of 25643.kill -9 25643left 25679 running, reparented to the session subreaper (ppid 1281). Run 2 of the same driver on the same base directory logged 'Relay client process started' with a new pid 26313.psthen listed twocloudflared tunnelprocesses: the orphan 25679 and the new 26313. The new runtime never stopped or saw the orphan. With the synthetic token the orphan later exited by itself (its tunnel never registers); with a real token it would keep serving. I could not test a live linked T3 Connect tunnel on this VM.Evidence
