fix(mobile): stop showing "cannot control this task" while permissions load or after a network blip - #28708
On a connection that can control the thread, the mobile composer says "This connection cannot
control this task. You can still edit your draft." while the permissions lookup (/api/auth/session)
has not answered: right after connecting to a slow or busy host, and after a lookup fails on the
network. The banner checks !canOperateThread, which cannot tell "denied" from "not known yet".
#17700 reported this and was closed as covered by #27008. It still reproduces on current main: #27008 re-fetches the session on every reconnect, which opens the window again.
Change
New sessionDeniesScope (client-runtime) and useEnvironmentScopeDenied (mobile): true only when
the host answered with a session that lacks the scope, or rejected the credential (401/403, EnvironmentAuthInvalidError, EnvironmentScopeRequiredError, EnvironmentOperationForbiddenError,
or a relay credential rejected twice).
The composer banner uses it instead of !canOperateThread.
Nothing else changes. Send and stop still need a known grant through the untouched sessionHasScope, so they stay disabled while permissions load, as on main.
Scope and approval
A very small, focused fix for an obvious bug: the app tells users they cannot control a task they
can. One banner condition and the helper behind it; web has no such banner and is untouched. #26205 and #24917 also edit apps/mobile/src/state/session.ts, so expect a trivial conflict with
whichever lands first.
Verification
The composer of one thread on the iOS simulator; the grey line under it is the banner. Left and
middle: a connection with every scope, 8 s after opening the thread while the host delays /api/auth/session by 15 s. Right: a connection paired with only orchestration:read.

session atom and HTTP client: a pending lookup and a network failure are not a denial; a session
without the scope and a 401 are.
environmentHttpAuth.test.ts "reports persistent session rejection…": the twice-rejected relay
credential counts as a denial.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This fixes the mobile warning but also preserves cached permissions across failures for web and mobile consumers. The unresolved rejection-handling findings leave a consequential question about when previously granted capabilities must be cleared.

Walkthrough
The client runtime now determines whether a session result denies a requested scope. The mobile state module exposes that result, and the thread composer uses it to control its connected-state notice.
Changes: Session scope handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Classify session results and check scopes packages/client-runtime/src/state/session.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/session.test.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/environmentHttpAuth.test.ts
The runtime adds sessionDeniesScope for successful and failed session results. Tests cover missing and present grants, recognized session rejections, and other failures.
Expose scope denial in mobile state apps/mobile/src/state/session.ts
The mobile state module centralizes session lookup by environment and adds useEnvironmentScopeDenied.
Show the notice on explicit scope denial apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadComposer.tsx
The composer checks denial of the orchestration operate scope and uses that result for the connected-state notice.
The notice that a connection cannot control a task no longer flashes while permissions load or after a network blip. In the rare case where a renewed credential is rejected while the socket stays connected, the notice may stay hidden while sending remains disabled. This is a minor gap that does not block merging.

Explanation
The title names the main change: the mobile composer no longer shows the "cannot control this task" banner while permissions load or after a network failure. It follows a conventional commit format and matches the changeset, which adds a scope-denial check (sessionDeniesScope and useEnvironmentScopeDenied) and uses it for the banner.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each contains specific content. The Problem section explains the bug and reproduction conditions. The Change section explains the helper, the hook, and the unchanged send and stop logic. The Scope section explains why no issue link is needed and cross-references the related PRs. The Verification section gives manual repro results, before and after screenshots, and named tests, and it states what was not checked (a physical device). The Scope section links prior issue #17700 and PR #27008 as context, but it does not link a separate issue that shows the bug. The template asks for that link or a reason for omitting it, and the author gives the reason. The model and harness line is included at the end.

executeAuthenticatedEnvironmentHttpRequest to return a typed authorization
rejection when the response has authenticated: false, then update
isSessionRejection to classify that rejection as a session rejection. Preserve
the existing handling for other failures.
- Around line 84-85: Update the session state handling around isSessionRejection
so an authorization rejection clears any retained successful grant before
returning null; keep network-failure fallback behavior unchanged. Add coverage
in the existing session test for success → authorization rejection → network
failure, verifying sessionHasScope does not report the stale grant.

Classify rejected DPoP renewal credentials.
If token renewal is rejected while the socket remains connected, authorizeDpopHttp can return a ConnectionBlockedError. environmentHttpAuth.ts wraps it in RemoteEnvironmentAuthFetchError, but this check only accepts session responses. The composer then hides the warning even though the credential was rejected. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

…s load or after a network blip
The composer showed the banner for `!canOperateThread`, which is also
true when the session lookup has not answered yet: right after
connecting to a slow host, and after a lookup fails on the network.
A connection that can operate the thread was told it cannot.
The banner now uses `sessionDeniesScope`, which is true only when the
host answered with a session lacking the scope or rejected the
credential (401/403, the declared auth errors, or a relay credential
rejected twice). Send and stop are unchanged: they still need a known
grant through `sessionHasScope`.

Real Android dev client on Pixel 9 / Android API 36, dark theme, 1080×2424 on both commits; public media uniformly resized to 540×1212. Each checkout ran its own server and Metro with fresh synthetic Replay data.
Steps on both commits: pair with default scopes and enter a draft; hold session lookups across relaunch for more than 15 seconds, then release; drop connections for two seconds and reset session lookups through capture, then release and await recovery; repeat a held lookup on an approval-paused turn to capture Stop disabled and enabled; finally return HTTP 403 for session lookups. Holds/resets were maintained through capture rather than limited to exactly 15 seconds or three requests.
Base shows the false composer warning while pending and after network failures. Head does not. Send and Stop remain disabled while the grant is unknown and enable after it arrives. Head retains the warning for explicit HTTP 403.
Stop keeps a red icon even when disabled. Captured native accessibility states show enabled=false during the hold and enabled=true after release on both commits: before observations, after observations. The separate approval-card warning is outside this composer-warning fix.
All stills passed an exact-pixel comparison of screenshots taken at least 500 ms apart. Selected captures and recording contact sheets were opened and visually reviewed; the final network recording includes the recovered blue Send button. Videos preserve timing.
iOS comparison: two scenario-runner attempts hit device install/recording/export timeouts; the completed real-app comparison used Android.
Read-only pairing, HTTP 401, authenticated:false, and other typed auth-error variants were not separately induced; the captured explicit-denial control used HTTP 403.
