fix(remote): auto-recover the remote connection on network change#637Anurag-Wednesday wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
The remote-model (HTTP gateway) path had no liveness check: after the desktop's LAN IP moved or the phone changed WiFi, the saved endpoint was stale but the app still reported "connected" and only failed on the next message, forcing a manual "Scan Network". - Move the scan + moved-server reconciliation out of the useLANDiscovery hook into remoteServerManager (scanAndReconcile) so there is one owner of the "server moved to a new IP" logic; the hook now delegates. - Add recoverActiveConnection(): cheap-first — re-validate the active server at its known endpoint and only rescan the LAN when it is actually unreachable (or auto-discovery is on), so scanning stays off unless the user relies on a remote server. - Add a native-dep-free networkReconnect watcher (AppState + getIpAddress poll) that detects a network change and triggers recovery, started at boot after provider init.

Start the reconnect watcher after provider initialization settles
initializeProviders() performs asynchronous provider creation, model discovery, and active-model restoration. The watcher can run recoverActiveConnection() during these operations. Both paths mutate the provider registry and remote-server store without shared serialization, so recovery can update an endpoint while initialization later registers a provider from an earlier server snapshot. Start the watcher in initializeProviders().finally(...), or serialize both operations.

Detect recovery conditions that keep the device IP unchanged.
Line 54 only schedules recovery when the usable IP string changes. A remote server can move while the device IP stays unchanged. A network rejoin can also assign the same private IP address. In both cases, recoverActiveConnection() does not run and the stale endpoint still requires a manual rescan.
Trigger a bounded active-connection validation independently of an IP-string difference. recoverActiveConnection() already avoids a LAN scan when the active server is reachable.

Invalidate pending IP checks during teardown.
stopNetworkReconnectWatcher() clears an existing debounce timer, but an earlier getIpAddress() call can complete after Line 103. That completion can call scheduleRecovery() and start recovery after the watcher was stopped.
Use a lifecycle generation token, or an equivalent cancellation guard, before updating lastIp or scheduling recovery after an awaited IP lookup.

Do not identify a moved server by port alone.
If a scan finds an existing reachable server and another server on the same port, Line 238 selects the existing server and Line 242 overwrites its endpoint. The new server is also omitted from found.
Build candidates from saved endpoints absent from the scan. Remap only one unambiguous candidate. Otherwise, return the discovered server for user selection.

Run the scan when auto-discovery is enabled.
When the active server is reachable, Line 279 returns before shouldAutoDiscoverRemoteModels() is checked. Therefore, a network-change recovery does not scan when auto-discovery is enabled.
Evaluate the setting before the early return. Return early only when the server is reachable and auto-discovery is disabled.

What
The remote-model (HTTP gateway) connection had no liveness check. After the desktop's LAN IP moved (DHCP) or the phone changed network, the saved endpoint went stale but the app still reported "connected" and only failed on the next message, so the user had to open Remote Servers and tap "Scan Network" by hand.
This makes the connection self-heal on a network change.
How
remoteServerManager.scanAndReconcile()now owns the "server moved to a new IP" reconciliation. It was previously inline in theuseLANDiscoveryhook; the hook delegates to it, so there is one source of truth for the remap (per the repo SOLID rule that logic lives in a service, not a hook).remoteServerManager.recoverActiveConnection()is cheap-first: it re-validates the active server at its known endpoint and only rescans the LAN when that server is actually unreachable (or auto-discovery is enabled). LAN scanning stays off unless the user is relying on a remote server, which preserves the existing privacy posture.src/services/networkReconnect.tsis a native-dep-free watcher (AppState + getIpAddress poll). It detects a network change and triggers recovery, started at boot after provider init and torn down on unmount.Why native-dep-free
NetInfo is not a dependency and adding it needs a native rebuild. The device IP changing is a reliable proxy for a network change, and the sync mesh already uses the same poll pattern (
nativeSync.tswatchLocalAddress).Verification status
Scope
Mobile HTTP remote-model path only. The desktop sync-mesh sleep/resume reconnect and the ~300s stream timeout are tracked separately.
