fix(server): hand-offs no longer revoke a retained provider's T3 tool access - #37005
The rework brief listed nothing to change, so I watched PR #37005. Macroscope reported a critical issue on a08d422: the held exemption in prepareMcpSession kept a still-attached session's credential valid even after browser access was turned off, and MCP invocation trusts the capabilities stored in the credential. The finding was right. Before this PR, the hand-off's revokeThread revoked every credential on the thread, so this was a regression. Commit f72a503 keeps a credential in held only while its stored preview and device capabilities match the current access settings. Credentials that no longer match are revoked and their stored configs dropped, as before. Hand-offs with unchanged settings keep the credential, so the #37000 case still works. CodeRabbit's major finding (the same gap for device access) was posted on a08d422 and is fixed by the same check, which compares device too. The extended test covers only browser access because both capabilities go through the same condition. Macroscope's comment shows on f72a503 only because GitHub moved its position to the new commit; its text is unchanged. All 8 required checks pass on f72a503. Macroscope's approvability verdict is still 'Needs Human Approval', which a bot cannot settle.
Commit a6d7695 (origin/main). T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev with a fresh database, project in a scratch git repo, web client in the preview browser. (1) Started a thread on Claude Haiku 5.5 (claudeAgent) with the reporter's step-1 prompt; Claude called orchestrator_capabilities, started sleep 600 with run_in_background, then the foreground python3 sleep (both confirmed with ps). (2) While 'Running python3' showed, picked Replay (dev) -> Plan and reads, typed hello, Ctrl+Enter: the UI showed 'Context handoff pending … 1 queued'. Claude replied DONE, then the Replay turn ran as a context hand-off ('todo list fixture complete'); sleep 600 was still alive. (3) Picked Claude Haiku 5.5 again and sent the step-4 message: 'Provider error: Claude is still running background agents or commands, and this model or setting change would end them. Wait for them to finish, or press Stop, then send the message again.' with a 'Waiting · Sleep 600 seconds in background' row. (4) Pressed Stop on that row (the sleep process exited), the thread went idle and Claude ran an automatic turn in which clearing its background wait failed with parent_not_active. (5) Sent the request again: orchestrator_capabilities succeeded and delegate_task (devReplay/showcase, wait) returned {"_tag":"OrchestratorMcpFailure","code":"parent_not_active","message":"The calling provider no longer owns an active thread run."}. Reproduced on the first attempt. Unit-level: a new test in ProviderSessionManager.test.ts (open instance A, open instance B on the same thread with A still attached, reuse A) fails on main because A's token resolves to undefined after B opens; the other 70 tests pass.
Evidence
Start Claude Haiku 5.5 with a background sleep 600 and foreground Python sleep. While Running python3 shows, queue hello on Replay / Plan and reads with Ctrl+Enter. After the handoff, return to the same Haiku model and request orchestrator_capabilities followed by delegate_task(devReplay/showcase, Say hi, wait). Stop the background sleep and repeat the request.
Environment on both sides: Linux web dev app, fresh isolated database, synthetic scratch git project, preview browser at 1280×800, light theme. Captures cropped identically to exclude machine identity.
Base refused the same-model return, then delegate_task failed with parent_not_active after Stop. Head completed delegation while the background sleep remained active and again after Stop.
Not shown:
t3_background_wait was not independently exercised after handoff in the paired captures; the paired proof covers the switch refusal and delegate_task.
Retained Codex sessions and credential revocation after browser/device access narrows were not exercised; these require separate flows.
Tests
vp test run src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.test.ts: 71 passed. I extended the #37000 regression test (turn browser access off, open another hand-off session, then check the retained token no longer resolves): without the source change it fails ('expected { …(6) } to equal undefined'); with it, it passes. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and tests (3 files) all passed. CI: all 8 required checks passed on f72a503.
When a released session's credential is treated as held elsewhere only because another session is attached to the thread (the existing release path's heldElsewhere check), it stays valid until the thread's next credential sweep; this behavior predates the change.
A retained session whose access was narrowed keeps its credential until the next prepare (open or newly attached thread), the same as a single attached session already does on main; enforcing current access on every MCP invocation would close that, but it is a separate change.

A queued hand-off keeps a busy provider session attached and opens the
target instance in its own session. Opening that session revokes the
thread's credential, so the retained process loses T3 tool access.

… access
A queued provider switch keeps the busy session attached while the
hand-off provider opens its own session. Preparing that session revoked
every MCP credential on the thread and overwrote the thread's MCP slot,
so the retained process lost its token. Switching back reused the
attached session without restoring its config, which produced the false
"model or setting change" refusal and parent_not_active.
Credentials held by sessions still attached to the thread now survive
the revocation, and reusing an attached session puts its own config
back in the slot.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change preserves attached providers' tool credentials across handoffs and restores their configurations on reuse. The unresolved concern about preview access surviving browser-access opt-out needs reconciliation with the new capability guards before retained credentials can be considered safe.

Walkthrough
The provider session manager now preserves MCP credentials and cached configurations for attached sessions during provider hand-offs. It restores a held session’s configuration when the thread is already attached. The registry supports selective credential revocation, and regression tests cover switching between provider instances.
revokeThread accepts an optional set of provider session IDs to keep. It removes credentials for the thread that do not match that set.
Credential rotation and configuration cleanup apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.ts
The manager preserves credentials held by attached sessions when their preview and device capabilities match current access settings. It caches MCP configurations by credential ID and removes cached configurations when credentials are revoked or cleared.
Held session restoration and regression coverage apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.test.ts
When a thread is already attached, the manager restores the held session’s cached MCP configuration when needed. The regression test checks credential access across provider-instance hand-offs, including after browser access is disabled.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to f72a5
The change keeps T3 tool credentials valid for a retained provider session across a queued hand-off. Credentials whose browser or device capabilities no longer match current settings are revoked on the next prepare. No concrete merge-blocking defect was established, so the remaining risk is minimal.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a hand-off no longer revokes a retained provider's T3 tool access. It matches the summary, which adds a keep set to revokeThread and preserves credentials for still-attached sessions. The title uses the conventional commit form with the fix(server) scope and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. It does not mention the per-thread config slot, but it does not need to cover every detail.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#37000] Objective: after a queued hand-off away from a provider with background work, the retained provider must keep a valid T3 MCP credential. Switching back must allow orchestrator_capabilities and delegate_task without a false model-or-setting-change refusal. Code at the reviewed head supports this for the reported scenario (no browser or device access change). In ProviderSessionManager.ts, prepareMcpSession builds a held set from sessions still attached to the thread. It passes that set as keep to mcpSessionRegistry.revokeThread, so held credentials stay valid. The manager stores each issued config by credential id (mcpConfigByCredentialId). When ensureThreadAttached reuses an attached session, restoreHeldMcpSession writes that session's config back to the slot. The retained process keeps its original token, so the settings key does not change. Incremental change since the previous review: held credentials are now retained only when their stored capabilities still match the current browserToolsAvailable and deviceToolsAvailable. If access was narrowed, the retained credential is revoked and not restored. The commit-message constraint describes this behavior, and the #37000 report does not cover a settings change, so it does not block this objective. Limits: the incremental diff read for the test file did not complete, and the test file was not re-run. The live UI repro was not run. The current PR description does not mention the capability condition. #36801 is closed and was used as context only.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Whole-PR diff from merge base a6d7695 to head f72a503 changes McpSessionRegistry.ts (keep parameter on revokeThread) and ProviderSessionManager.ts (held-set computation, per-credential config map, clearMcpSession cleanup, restoreHeldMcpSession). ProviderSessionManager.test.ts adds a regression test and fixture support for a second provider instance. All of these serve the #37000 objective. The new capability-match condition in the held-set computation is stated in the commit-message constraint in the PR objectives, so it is in scope. The excluded items in the PR description (per-adapter credential storage, release-path validity until sweep) are not implemented in this diff. The test file diff could not be read in the incremental inspection, so test-file scope rests on the whole-PR summary.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (credentials revoked during hand-off, regression from a08d422 via Macroscope finding), the change (keep credentials in held only while preview and device capabilities match access settings), the scope (links issue #37000 and gives a reproduction on main), and verification (unit test extended, manual reproduction before and after with captures, check:changed passing). It follows the template's Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. Minor gaps: the Scope section does not explain why a bug fix needs no issue (it links one, so this is fine), and the author adds extra sections (Reproduction, Evidence, Not in this change, Who did the work), which is acceptable. It also includes review-process chatter about bot verdicts that is not needed in the description, but the required information is present and complete.

Give restoreHeldMcpSession a named Effect.fn span.
This helper is a service operation that waits on a lock and reads and writes MCP session configuration. The repository convention requires reusable functions to use Effect.fn("Service.operation"), not an arrow returning Effect.gen. The Effect.fnUntraced exemption needs an explanation beside the helper, and none is present. A named span also lets traces show restoration as its own operation.

Retained sessions keep device access after the setting is turned off.
At prepare time, device access comes from current settings (ProviderSessionManager.ts:565-571). The reuse branch rejects a credential whose device capability no longer matches (:591-598). The held set does not apply that check (:604-612). An attached session therefore keeps its stored device capability. Invocation does not re-read the setting, so that session can keep using device tools after the user disables them. docs/user/devices.md:89 states that disabling hides device tools from agents.
Keep an attached credential in held only while its stored device capability matches the current deviceToolsAvailable. Revoke the rest. The existing cleanup at lines 613-617 then drops their configs. Hand-offs with unchanged settings keep their credential, so the case in #37000 still works. Add a test that turns device access off between a hand-off and a reattach.
