Cause: a Codex app-server reads auth.json once per process. Since #34320 the CodexDriver auth.json watcher only re-probes the provider status, so after codex login switched accounts outside T3, the live sessions in ProviderSessionManager kept serving turns with the old account's tokens until a restart, Stop, or idle unload. Fix: a new background layer, apps/server/src/provider/CodexAccountSwitch.ts, added in server.ts next to the existing layerProviderInstallationRefresh reactor. It records each Codex instance's signed-in account, first from ProviderRegistry.getProviders and then from ProviderRegistry.streamChanges. When an instance's authenticated snapshot reports a different account, it calls the existing ProviderSessionManager.closeInstance, the same release the ACP logout path uses. The next message then opens a new app-server with the new credentials. 'Different account' means a different email, or a different workspaceId when both snapshots have one; the workspace id comes from an optional rate-limit read, so a missing value is not treated as a change. Token refreshes (Codex rewrites auth.json without changing the account), unknown or unauthenticated snapshots, and other drivers never close sessions. Like signing in again inside T3, a switch also stops a turn that is still running on that instance. No new regex or parser. Reproduction before the fix: scratch Codex home, Codex 0.167.2, mock backend logging the bearer's account, fresh T3 home. Turn one ran as alice. auth.json was replaced atomically with bob's, and the re-probe reached the mock as bob while the thread's app-server PID stayed alive. Turn two's POST /v1/responses still went out as alice from that same process. After the fix, debug logging showed the layer running on the real server and receiving the seed and every registry update. A full end-to-end 'after' run was not possible: on this mock Codex's account probe failed with 'workspace routing discovery missing backend origin' (I could not rebuild the private accounts/check response), so the snapshot never carried an email for the layer to compare. The switch behaviour is proven by the unit test.

Fixes #11136

Reproduction on main

Commit b68aedf (origin/main). Scratch Codex home with a synthetic ChatGPT auth.json for account A (alice), and config.toml routing Codex's model and backend requests to a local mock server that logs the bearer token's account on every request. Dev server started with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 and settings providerInstances.codex.config.homePath = the scratch home, Codex CLI 0.167.2. Steps: (1) t3 project add <dir>; t3 thread start --provider codex --model gpt-5.5 --wait -> completed, and the mock logged POST /v1/responses as alice. (2) Atomically replaced auth.json with account B (bob), as codex login does. Within 0.4 s the auth.json watcher's provider re-probe hit the mock as bob, so Settings reports bob. The thread's app-server (the PID started for turn 1) was still running. (3) t3 thread send <same thread> 'turn two' --wait -> completed, but the mock logged POST /v1/responses and the other backend calls as alice, from the same long-lived app-server. The stale credentials are used for real work, not just shown in a stale label.

Evidence

Real T3 server and CLI, Codex CLI 0.167.2, fresh isolated state, synthetic accounts, local mock backend; identical terminal viewport and theme.

1. Start a thread as Alice and await completion.
2. Atomically replace auth.json with Bob credentials in the same Codex home.
3. Wait for the Settings provider snapshot to report Bob.
4. Send another message to the same thread without restarting T3.

Not shown:

• Workspace-only switches with an unchanged email, same-account token refreshes, and switching during an active turn were not exercised.
• Real OAuth login and subscription usage-limit flows were not exercised; this reproduction used synthetic credentials and a local backend.

Tests

vp test run apps/server/src/provider/CodexAccountSwitch.test.ts: pass (1 test). A mutation that treats every snapshot as a switch fails it ([codex, codex] vs [codex, codex-work]). vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip 1/2 and 2/2, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and tests (2 files) all pass. Manual run without the fix: turn two used the old account (alice) after the auth.json switch to bob, reproducing the bug. Manual run with the fix: the layer ran on a real server and received snapshots, but the full switch could not be shown because the mock backend kept Codex's account probe in an error state.

Not in this change

• An external codex logout with no sign-in to another account does not close sessions; they keep the old account's tokens until another account signs in.
• API-key Codex auth has no email in the snapshot, so switching between two API keys is not detected.
• Other providers that load credentials once per process (for example Claude) may have the same class of bug; this change is Codex-only.
• closeInstance's release detail reads 'Provider instance logged out.', which is slightly inaccurate for an account switch; left unchanged.
• When T3's own managed Codex sign-in changes the account, ProviderAuthService already stops sessions. This layer then closes again, which is a no-op unless a new session opened in between.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at c5c1e3a

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Codex sessions are closed when their provider's authenticated account changes, so subsequent sessions use the updated login. The change is limited to the affected provider instance and reuses existing session cleanup; active work may be interrupted during the account switch.

Walkthrough

The server now tracks signed-in Codex accounts across provider changes. When an account changes, the corresponding sessions are closed. The change also adds tests for account comparisons, missing authentication data, and changes to other providers.

Changes: Codex account switching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Account identification and tracking apps/server/src/provider/CodexAccountSwitch.ts	The module identifies signed-in Codex accounts and records them by provider instance. It compares email addresses and, when both are defined, workspace IDs. If the email is unchanged and the new workspace ID is absent, it retains the previous workspace ID.
Session closing and runtime integration apps/server/src/provider/CodexAccountSwitch.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts, apps/server/src/provider/CodexAccountSwitch.test.ts	The layer seeds account tracking from the initial provider snapshot and closes sessions when later snapshots show an account change. The server includes the layer in its runtime dependencies. Tests check changed accounts and cases that do not close sessions.

Merge Risk: Low · up to c5c1e

The change closes live Codex sessions when the signed-in account changes, so the next message uses the new credentials. In two narrow timing windows, a session can still keep the old account: when a session is opening during the switch, or when a switch lands during startup. Both windows are narrow and the issue clears on the next release or account change. Consider fixing them before merge, but they do not undermine the main fix.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the fix, the component, and the behavior: Codex sessions switch accounts after codex login. It matches the main change, which closes live Codex sessions when the signed-in account changes. The title is one line and follows conventional commit form.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #11136 requires that a Codex account switch outside T3 applies to new messages in existing threads without a restart. The new layer CodexAccountSwitch.layer in apps/server/src/provider/CodexAccountSwitch.ts seeds per-instance accounts from ProviderRegistry.getProviders and then reads ProviderRegistry.streamChanges. When a Codex instance's authenticated email changes, or its workspaceId changes when both snapshots have one, it calls ProviderSessionManagerV2.closeInstance. The next message therefore starts a new app-server that reads the new auth.json. Token refreshes with the same account do not close sessions, and unknown or unauthenticated snapshots are skipped. server.ts registers the layer in the runtime core dependencies. The PR summary reports a unit test (CodexAccountSwitch.test.ts, one test, with a mutation check). I did not open the test file. The end-to-end after-run was not completed, so the runtime behavior rests on the code path and the reported unit test. The code path matches the issue's expected behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against merge base b68aedf contains three changes: the new CodexAccountSwitch.ts layer, its test file CodexAccountSwitch.test.ts, and a two-line wiring change in apps/server/src/server.ts (import and addition to layerRuntimeCoreDependenciesBase). All of them serve the account-switch objective of #11136. The change is limited to Codex. The PR description lists deliberate limits (no API-key switch detection, no external logout handling, no Claude changes). These limits are scope boundaries, not unrelated changes. No unrelated change was found in the reviewed summary or the inspected server.ts hunk.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the required sections. The Problem is stated: after codex login switched accounts, live sessions kept the old account's tokens until restart. The Change explains the new CodexAccountSwitch layer, its wiring in server.ts, and the account-comparison rules. The Scope section links the bug issue (#11136) and gives a reason for the fix. The Verification section lists the unit test, the check:changed run, a before-fix reproduction with steps and observed results, and an after-fix run that could not be completed end to end, with the reason. It also lists what was not checked. The template asks for the model and harness used; the description says it was AI-assisted but does not name the model or harness. This is a minor gap in an otherwise complete description.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Subscribe before reading the initial account snapshot.

streamChanges is Stream.fromPubSub(changesPubSub). It does not replay the current snapshot. The initial getProviders read runs before the subscription starts. A snapshot published in that gap is not delivered to CodexAccountSwitch. If it changes the account, the stale account stays in accounts, and sessions on that account are not closed until a later snapshot changes the account again. The window is narrow, and the next account change clears the stale state.

ProviderRegistry.ts:894 already uses subscribe-before-read for the same race. Start the subscription before reading the initial snapshot, so both run in the same scope with no publish between them.

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Closure can miss sessions that are still opening.

closeInstance snapshots only entries already in sessions. A session whose openSession call is still running is not in that snapshot. If an account switch triggers closeInstance during that window, the session is inserted afterward and stays live. Later turns on that thread reuse it through the existing-session branch, which does not recheck the account.

Make the account invalidation and the session insert share one per-instance barrier. Either have closeInstance wait for in-flight opens for that instance, or recheck the instance's account state after insertion and release the entry if it changed. Add a focused test that switches the account while openSession is pending.
