Solver switch: reconnect after the restart, and narrate it - #228
Merged
Conversation
The v1 event stream reports failures through its `onSseError` callback and
then simply stops yielding — the async iterator neither throws nor completes.
The reconnect loop only comes round when that iterator ends, so it parked
inside `for await` forever: the catch, the loop tail and the 250ms retry were
never reached, and the client stayed disconnected from a server that was
already back. Only a page reload recovered it.
Traced in the browser against a real restart. Before:
+1.9s loop iteration start
+1.9s stream obtained -> CONNECTED
+18.2s onSseError: TypeError: network error
+53.2s (end — no catch, no loop tail, no retry, still disconnected 35s
after the server was listening again)
After:
+17.6s onSseError -> abort
+17.6s loop iteration start
+17.6s stream obtained -> CONNECTED
This is not a rare edge. #221 made the solver toggle restart the opencode
server by design, so every solver switch left the webview dead until reload —
and it is the same shape as opencode#132's stuck reconnecting banner, which is
very likely why ConnectionBanner was unmounted in f696388 rather than fixed.
The abort is extracted into applySseError() and covered by tests: on its own it
reads as redundant next to the disconnect, which is exactly how it would get
tidied away again. The early return for an already-closed stream is what stops
our own abort from recursing.
Refs #132.
… real #221 made the solver toggle do a real switch: the extension watcher sees {status:"switching"}, re-preps the session config, and restarts the opencode server. The webview survives that; its SSE stream does not. Nothing narrated the gap, so a deliberate tier change looked like a hang — the reconnect loop retries silently, which reads as an endless "thinking" wave. The old ConnectionBanner used to cover this, but it was unmounted on 2026-08-07 (f696388, a03aa04) after opencode#132's stuck pill, and the component has been dead code since. This does NOT reinstate it: the new banner speaks only for a switch the app itself requested, so a transient blip can never strand it, and whether general drops deserve a warning again stays an open question rather than one this change answers by the back door. - solver-switch.ts: the phase contract as pure helpers (requested → restarting → ready), matching solver-toggle.tsx's decision-helper split so it is testable without a DOM. sawDrop is latched — once the server has gone down, coming back up is the switch completing, not the request still waiting to be picked up. - Two expiry windows, not one. A request that has not taken the server down inside 12s is not going to (no extension host, stale binary, a write that never landed) and is abandoned quietly; a restart in flight gets the full 90s ceiling inherited from the stale #14 wizard's safety valve. Collapsing them into a single timeout would either strand the pill or cut a slow restart off mid-flight. - beginSolverSwitch() only MIRRORS a request, it never causes one. hp still rides the validated credential and piccolo rides POST /amicode/solver-mode — a banner that could initiate a flip would be the duplicate writer ADR 0001 forbids. Progress renders neutral and completion renders as the brand chip (--accent fill, near-black --accent-ink). That is the design system's rule, not a preference: #fff676 is ~1.1:1 on white, so yellow may never be a foreground on light — if it needs to be yellow there, it has to be a filled chip. Not included: the staged multi-step overlay from the stale #14. It polled GET /amicode/solver-mode, which does not exist (only POST shipped), and its hp stages assume an hp flip from a button — which #221 removed by design. Closes #78 follow-up.

Reset the drop latch for each switch request.
A new call to beginSolverSwitch() does not reset sawDrop. If a user starts another switch during the three-second ready display, solverSwitchPhase() returns ready immediately because the server is connected and the prior request left sawDrop latched. The banner then clears without reporting the new request or restart.
Associate sawDrop with a request identifier, and reset it when a new request starts.

Expire at the configured boundary.
At exactly SOLVER_SWITCH_STALL_MS or SOLVER_SWITCH_MAX_MS, this function returns false. The banner can remain visible beyond its documented 12-second or 90-second limit. Use >= and add equality assertions to solver-switch.test.ts.
Proposed fix
- if (phase === "requested") return elapsedMs > SOLVER_SWITCH_STALL_MS
- if (phase === "restarting") return elapsedMs > SOLVER_SWITCH_MAX_MS

Supersedes #225 and #227 — same work, one PR. Kept as two commits, because the SSE fix stands on its own and is much easier to review (and revert) untangled from the UI.
Why any of this
#221 made the solver toggle do a real switch: the extension watcher re-preps the session config and restarts the opencode server. The webview survives that; its SSE stream does not.
Nothing narrated the gap. Building that narration is how the second bug surfaced.
Commit 1 —
fix(app): reconnect the event stream after the server restartsThe app never reconnected after a server restart. It stayed disconnected from a server that was already back, indefinitely — only a page reload recovered it.
No
catch. No loop tail. No second iteration. The retry never ran.Cause: the v1 event stream reports failures through its
onSseErrorcallback and then stops yielding — the async iterator neither throws nor completes. The reconnect loop only comes round when that iterator ends, so it parked insidefor awaitforever.RECONNECT_DELAY_MSis 250ms and never got to use it.Fix: abort the attempt from
onSseError, which ends the iterator and lets the loop go round.Extracted into
applySseError()and covered by tests: next to thedisconnectright above it the abort reads as redundant, which is exactly how it would get tidied away again. The early return for an already-closed stream keeps our own abort from recursing.This was not a rare edge. Every solver switch since #221 left the webview dead until reload. It is also the same shape as #132's stuck reconnecting banner — very likely the real reason
ConnectionBannerwas unmounted in f696388/a03aa04 rather than fixed: it was reporting this bug accurately and looked broken for it.Commit 2 —
