On Windows, WebSocket connections can die silently (OSError 64) without either side being notified. This causes commands to fail with "Unity session not available" until Unity eventually detects the dead connection. Changes: - Add PingMessage model for server->client pings - Add ping loop in PluginHub that sends pings every 10 seconds - Track last pong time per session; close connection if no pong within 20s - Include session_id in pong messages from Unity for server-side tracking - Clean up debug/timing logs from Issue CoplayDev#654 investigation The server will now proactively detect dead connections within 20 seconds instead of waiting indefinitely for the next command to fail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When Unity performs a domain reload (after script changes, test runs, or large payload transfers), the MCP connection drops and needs to reconnect. The previous reconnection timeout (2s) was too short for domain reloads which can take 10-30s. Changes: - Increase UNITY_MCP_RELOAD_MAX_WAIT_S default from 2s to 30s - Increase backoff cap when reloading from 0.8s to 5.0s - Skip PluginHub session resolution for stdio transport (was causing unnecessary waits on every command) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reviewer's GuideImplements a server-initiated WebSocket ping/pong heartbeat to proactively detect dead connections, extends Unity-domain-reload-related timeouts from 2s to 30s (with updated backoff and documentation), skips PluginHub session resolution when using stdio transport, and adjusts logging/timing for better observability and reliability diagnostics.

Hey - I've found 2 issues, and left some high level feedback:
- The new
[TIMING-STDIO]and WebSocket stack-trace logs are emitted atinfo/Warnlevel and on hot paths; consider downgrading todebugor guarding them behind a config flag to avoid flooding logs in normal operation. - The ping heartbeat constants (
PING_INTERVAL,PING_TIMEOUT) are currently hard-coded; consider making them configurable (similar to theUNITY_MCP_*timeouts) so they can be tuned without code changes for different environments. - Access to
_last_pongin the ping loop and_handle_pongis done without the shared lock while other session state uses the lock; for consistency and to avoid subtle concurrency issues, it may be safer to read/write_last_pongunder the same lock as_connections.

Please address the comments from this code review:
## Overall Comments
- The new `[TIMING-STDIO]` and WebSocket stack-trace logs are emitted at `info`/`Warn` level and on hot paths; consider downgrading to `debug` or guarding them behind a config flag to avoid flooding logs in normal operation.
- The ping heartbeat constants (`PING_INTERVAL`, `PING_TIMEOUT`) are currently hard-coded; consider making them configurable (similar to the `UNITY_MCP_*` timeouts) so they can be tuned without code changes for different environments.
- Access to `_last_pong` in the ping loop and `_handle_pong` is done without the shared lock while other session state uses the lock; for consistency and to avoid subtle concurrency issues, it may be safer to read/write `_last_pong` under the same lock as `_connections`.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**suggestion (bug_risk):** Consider cleaning up `_ping_tasks`/`_last_pong` in `_ping_loop` to avoid relying solely on `on_disconnect`.
Relying on `on_disconnect` for cleanup means that in shutdown/exception edge cases (e.g. `_lock` set to `None`, `close()` failing, or `on_disconnect` not firing), the loop can exit the `while` and hit `finally` without removing this session from `_ping_tasks` or clearing `_last_pong`. Consider doing that cleanup in the `finally` block so the ping loop fully manages its own lifecycle and avoids stale entries.
Suggested implementation:
```python
await registry.touch(session_id)
# Record last pong time for staleness detection
cls._last_pong[session_id] = time.monotonic()
@classmethod
def _cleanup_ping_session(cls, session_id: str) -> None:
"""Cleanup ping tracking state for a session.
This is used by the ping loop's finally block to fully manage its own
lifecycle, and can also be safely called from on_disconnect as needed.
"""
# Remove this session's ping task and staleness tracking, if present.
# Using pop(..., None) makes this idempotent and safe to call multiple times.
cls._ping_tasks.pop(session_id, None)
cls._last_pong.pop(session_id, None)
@classmethod
async def _ping_loop(cls, session_id: str, websocket: WebSocket) -> None:
```
To fully implement your suggestion, the following additional changes are needed in the same file:
1. Wrap the body of `_ping_loop` in a `try`/`finally` and call the new helper in the `finally` block, so the ping loop always cleans up its own state:
```python
@classmethod
async def _ping_loop(cls, session_id: str, websocket: WebSocket) -> None:
"""Server-initiated ping loop to detect dead connections.
Sends periodic pings to the Unity client. If no pong is received within
PING_TIMEOUT seconds, the connection is considered dead and closed.
This helps detect connections that die silently (e.g., Windows OSError 64).
"""
logger.debug(f"[Ping] Starting ping loop for session {session_id}")
try:
while True:
await asyncio.sleep(cls.PING_INTERVAL)
# ... existing ping / timeout logic remains unchanged ...
finally:
# Ensure we don't leave stale entries if on_disconnect never fires
cls._cleanup_ping_session(session_id)
```
2. Anywhere else you’re cleaning up `_ping_tasks` / `_last_pong` (likely in `on_disconnect`), update that code to call `cls._cleanup_ping_session(session_id)` instead of manipulating `_ping_tasks` / `_last_pong` directly. Because `_cleanup_ping_session` uses `pop(..., None)`, calling it from both `on_disconnect` and `_ping_loop` is safe and idempotent.
These changes ensure that the ping loop fully manages its own lifecycle and avoids stale entries even in shutdown/exception edge cases where `on_disconnect` might not execute.

<issue_to_address>
**suggestion:** The WARN-level stack trace log on every socket closure may be too noisy for normal usage.
Since disconnects are often expected, consider either lowering this log to `Info`/`Debug`, gating it behind a diagnostic flag or `#if DEBUG`, or restricting the stack trace to unexpected closure reasons so you keep the investigation signal without overwhelming normal logs.
```suggestion
private async Task HandleSocketClosureAsync(string reason)
{
#if DEBUG
// DEBUG: Capture stack trace to identify what triggers disconnection (Issue #654 investigation)
var stackTrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace(true);
McpLog.Debug($"[WebSocket] HandleSocketClosureAsync called. Reason: {reason}\nStack trace:\n{stackTrace}");

- Around line 780-800: Update the reload wait default and clamp to 30s: change
the environment default for UNITY_MCP_RELOAD_MAX_WAIT_S from "20.0" to "30.0",
adjust any hard-coded fallback max_wait_s values (currently set to 20.0) to
30.0, and modify the clamp statement that enforces the range to use 30.0 as the
upper bound (max_wait_s = max(0.0, min(max_wait_s, 30.0))). Also update the
logger.warning message text (and any nearby comments referencing 20s) to reflect
the new 30s default so messages and docs match the new cap; ensure you reference
the same variable name max_wait_s and the env var UNITY_MCP_RELOAD_MAX_WAIT_S in
your changes.
In `@Server/src/transport/plugin_hub.py`:
- Around line 492-519: In the exception handler for failed ping sends (the block
that creates PingMessage, calls websocket.send_json and handles send_ex),
replace the prohibited close code 1006 with 1001 when calling websocket.close
and ensure any exception thrown by websocket.close is logged instead of
swallowed; update the logger call to include context (session_id and the close
exception) and reference the same symbols (PingMessage, websocket.close,
cls.PING_TIMEOUT, logger) so the error path logs close failures for debugging.

- Around line 207-235: ManageEditor.HandleCommand currently lacks a case for the
"telemetry_status" action so unknown actions hit the default ErrorResponse;
update ManageEditor.HandleCommand (ManageEditor.cs) to handle "telemetry_status"
by either implementing a new branch that gathers and returns the telemetry
health fields (dispatcher status, success flags, etc.) or routing the action to
the existing telemetry handler (if one exists), ensuring the switch or dispatch
logic recognizes "telemetry_status" and returns a success response object used
by the test.

Assert.Passis invoked in every path, so this test can’t fail even if behavior regresses. Consider asserting the intended contract once defined (e.g., no throw + null result, or a specific error path).

Reload wait is still capped at 20s—objective calls for 30s.
Issue #654 notes reloads can take 10–30s, but the default, clamp, and log text still enforce 20s, which can prematurely abort retries. Please bump the default and cap (and update messaging) to 30s.

Update the reload wait default and clamp to 30s: change the environment default
for UNITY_MCP_RELOAD_MAX_WAIT_S from "20.0" to "30.0", adjust any hard-coded
fallback max_wait_s values (currently set to 20.0) to 30.0, and modify the clamp
statement that enforces the range to use 30.0 as the upper bound (max_wait_s =
max(0.0, min(max_wait_s, 30.0))). Also update the logger.warning message text
(and any nearby comments referencing 20s) to reflect the new 30s default so
messages and docs match the new cap; ensure you reference the same variable name
max_wait_s and the env var UNITY_MCP_RELOAD_MAX_WAIT_S in your changes.

🌐 Web query:
RFC 6455 WebSocket close code 1006 must not be sent close frame specification
💡 Result:
In RFC 6455, WebSocket close code 1006 (“abnormal closure”) is reserved and must not be sent on the wire:
- “1006 is a reserved value and MUST NOT be set as a status code in a Close control frame by an endpoint.” It is only for local/reporting use to indicate the connection closed abnormally (e.g., the TCP connection dropped) without sending or receiving a Close control frame. [1]
- RFC 6455 also defines that if the connection is closed and no Close control frame was received, then the implementation considers the connection close code to be 1006 (again, internal/observed state—not a transmitted close frame). [2]
So: you will never legitimately see a peer send a Close frame with code 1006; implementations use it to report “abnormal closure” when the closing handshake didn’t happen. [1][2]

Replace close code 1006 with 1001 and log close failures.
Line 517 uses close code 1006, which RFC 6455 explicitly reserves and forbids sending on the wire—it must only be used internally to report abnormal closure when no Close frame was exchanged. Sending it violates the specification and can cause protocol violations. Additionally, the exception handler at lines 518–519 silently swallows errors without logging, hiding diagnostics crucial for debugging connection failures.

Test will fail with unknown action error before reaching health assertions.
The test calls ManageEditor.HandleCommand with action telemetry_status, but this action is not implemented in ManageEditor.cs (lines 50-141). The switch statement only handles: play, pause, stop, set_active_tool, add_tag, remove_tag, add_layer, remove_layer. Any unknown action hits the default case and returns an ErrorResponse, so the test will fail immediately rather than proceed to check telemetry response content.
Either:
- Implement telemetry_status handling in ManageEditor, or
- Route telemetry_status to the correct handler if it exists elsewhere.
Once the action is properly implemented, the suggestion to assert on health fields (dispatcher status, success flags) aligns with issue #654's intent and should be added.

Summary
Problem
Two related issues were causing connection reliability problems:
Issue PropertyConversion failures crash command dispatcher while telemetry continues #654: After running test suites or other operations that trigger Unity domain reloads, the dispatcher would become unreachable ("No Unity Editor instances found"). The root cause was that domain reloads take 10-20s, but the reconnection timeout was only 2s.
Issue beta branch: when Claude Code reconnects, Unity session becomes "no session" even though handshake succeeds. This breaks the workflow completely. Logs attached. But Sometimes it works,and the bug only occurs in beta by using http to connect #643: On Windows, WebSocket connections can die silently (OSError 64: "The specified network name is no longer available") without either side being notified. Commands would fail with "Unity session not available" until Unity eventually detected the dead connection.
