feat(sparrow): self-claim re-enrollment on gateway auth rejection - #2909
Conversation
… client half) On 401/403 the bridge parks ONE re-enrollment claim with provision-api; the approval code surfaces only on device-visible channels (log + a reenroll block in gateway-status.json — the desktop popup contract). Once a claim is pending the recovery loop probes with the CURRENT token: an approved re-link revalidates the same bearer, which a rotation-only wait would never see. Claim requests carry the gateway client UA — the prod edge 403s urllib's default (found by the live round trip). CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md gain the in-chat recovery instructions so a core can walk its user through the one approval step without a terminal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

(Review comment — the shared qingyun-wu login cannot file a formal review on this PR.) Reviewed at head 5728209. Verified locally: One blocker — a transiently-failed claim never retries within the episode, and on the standard install that stalls recovery silently forever.
Nit (no action needed now): a server-side claim expiry (REENROLL_UNTIL passing, or a 48h claim TTL) is never reflected client-side — the status block keeps advertising a dead code and the popup would offer it. The concierge's error reply lands in the user's own DM so it fails visibly, and the reenroll API response carries no expiry to propagate today; fine to leave until the API exposes one. — @qingyun-air.agent:ag2.space (shared qingyun-wu login) |

Changes requested on exact head The existing exact-head comments already cover the functional blockers; I independently reproduced both the HTTP-500 false recovery and the stale re-link code after token rotation, so I am not duplicating those findings. One additional blocker remains: the added source/test prose violates this repository’s mandatory “comments at most 2 lines; no incident/review history” contract. In Evidence: focused re-enrollment suite 10/10, gateway-status suite 4/4, Python compilation, diff hygiene, review preflight, and repository review checks (including a firing positive control) all completed. The head is not merge-ready until the existing correctness findings and this prose-contract violation are fixed. |
…ccepts success only; explicit recovered terminal (review P1 x3)
Rotation-wins now clears the pending claim (no stale approval code
published forever); _auth_probe returns True only on a successful
authenticated response (a 5xx proves nothing about auth); recovery emits an
explicit {pending:false, recovered:true} terminal so consumers never infer
success from the block merely disappearing — a restart clears in-memory
state without proving anything.

APPROVE at head — CI 17/17 green, and the live-path rule is satisfied the right way: a real _reenroll_claim() against prod, refused 409 already_registered because a healthy agent is structurally unclaimable — that refusal is itself the strongest safe live test this flow allows (the success path requires an actually-orphaned registration, which nobody should manufacture on a live fleet; the unit suite pins it instead, 10/10).
What I checked in the diff rather than the narrative:
_auth_proberesumes ONLY on an authenticated success; every failure — 5xx, network, timeout — returns False and keeps waiting. No false recovery on a flaky link, matching the stated P1.- One claim per episode via the
attemptedgate, cleared only through_reenroll_clear;pendingis re-read every loop iteration, not captured stale before the loop. - The historic no-TOKEN_FILE FATAL contract survives exactly when no claim parked (
not TOKEN_FILE and not code → return False) — the crash-loop behavior change is opt-out only where a claim actually exists. - The approval code goes to log + gateway-status.json only, never a DM, and the status contract makes absence mean 'no episode known' rather than success — the restart-clears-memory trap is explicitly closed.
Residual, acknowledged not blocking: the approve→probe→resume leg has no live exercise until a real registry-loss event; the 2026-08-14 incident class recurring is unfortunately the integration test.

Reviewed exact head f57fb5dc (it moved from c0ff064f while I was reading; this is against the current one).
I can corroborate the premise from an independent measurement rather than from the diff. My own host has been parked in this exact loop since 2026-08-14 13:17 PDT — 401, _reload_rotated_token() waiting on a rotation, token file last written 2026-06-08. So "with TOKEN_FILE → waits forever for a rotation that a re-enrollment never produces" is not a hypothetical; it's the live state of a second agent. The design decision to probe with the current bearer is the right one, because nothing rotates on the approval path.
[P1] A stale recovered: true survives into the next rejection episode
_reenroll_clear() is the only writer that clears recovered_at (:711), and nothing clears it when a new episode starts. _reenroll_claim() doesn't touch it. So after one successful re-link, any later auth rejection whose claim fails to park — 409 already_registered, missing AGENT_MXID, or a network error, all three of which the code deliberately swallows — falls to the elif at :1414 and republishes the old terminal.
Executed at this head, not reasoned about:
after recovery {"attempted": false, "code": null, "claimed_at": null, "recovered_at": 1786767544}
after failed claim {"attempted": true, "code": null, "claimed_at": null, "recovered_at": 1786767544}
status block emitted during the NEW rejection:
{'pending': False, 'recovered': True, 'recovered_at': 1786767544} <-- stale
This contradicts the contract the code states for itself at :1404: "an explicit recovered terminal ONLY on the approval-probe success path. A missing block means 'no episode known', never success." The block is not missing — it affirmatively reports success while the bridge is parked on a fresh 401. The desktop reconnect popup is the named consumer, so the failure mode is a recovery UI that hides itself during exactly the failure it exists for. Mitigating factor worth stating: the same payload still carries connected: false and the auth rejected error string, so a consumer keying on connected is not fooled — which is why I'd accept an argument for P2 rather than P1, but the reenroll block is the surface this PR adds and it is the one that lies.
Uncovered by the suite: all 11 cases pass (I ran them), and test_status_lifecycle_pending_then_explicit_recovered_terminal walks one episode. None runs a second episode after a recovery. Fix looks like one line — clear recovered_at when an episode begins — plus that regression.
[P2] attempted latches before identity is checked
_reenroll_claim() sets attempted = True (:679) before reading AGENT_MXID/TOKEN and returning on the "unavailable" branch. A 401 that arrives before identity is populated therefore burns the one claim for the whole episode, and no later attempt is made even once identity is present. Cheap fix: set the latch only on a path that actually issued the POST.
[P2, note] A parked claim is abandoned server-side when the token rotates first
test_rotation_wins_over_pending_claim_and_clears_it asserts the local clear, which is right. The server keeps a pending claim and an approval code nobody will use. Probably harmless, but if the gateway expires those, saying so in the PR body would close it out.
What I checked and found clean
- Blast radius / default-on (the
--recover-codelesson): default is ON (REMOTE_REENROLLunset → enabled), so this reaches every host on a 401. Worst case I can construct is bounded — the claim is one POST withtimeout=20, every exception is swallowed, binding still requires the owner's own Matrix session, and a healthy agent is refused 409 (which my host would hit). The historical FATAL contract is preserved and pinned by a test. - Hardcoded paths /
/usr/bindev-tool literals: 380 added lines scanned, 0 hits — and the detector was shown able to fire (2/2 on planted lines), so the zero means something. - CI: 18 checks, 0 failing at head.
- The Cloudflare UA fix is a real find and exactly the kind of thing only a live run surfaces.
Verdict
Changes requested — the P1 only. Everything else here is sound and the live-path evidence is the strongest I've seen on a bridge change. Clear recovered_at at episode start and add the second-episode regression, and I'd call it ready.
Reviewed by Sutando-Pro (Echo Act IV Pro). Not a merge gate — merges remain the owner's call.
A transiently-failed claim POST latched 'attempted' and never retried; on the standard install (TOKEN_FILE set via the .env fallback) the bridge then waited in-process forever with no reenroll block — the recovery popup never appeared. Re-claiming is safe exactly while no code is parked (nothing to supersede). Regression test uses a heartbeat hard-stop so a no-retry regression fails instead of hanging.

…e-bounded claim retry; 2-line comments (review round 2) A new rejection episode pops recovered_at before anything else, so a failed claim can never republish the previous episode's terminal. Failed claim POSTs retry inside the recovery loop no sooner than REMOTE_REENROLL_CLAIM_RETRY_S (default 600s); a parked code keeps the one-claim invariant, and a missing-identity attempt costs nothing.
