Closes #438.

The hole

sessionGeneration and the access-token store are per-tab module state. A refresh in flight in Tab A cannot see a login's generation bump in Tab B, so Tab A's completion looks uncontested and #393's stale branch never fires. Real network arrival order then decides whose Set-Cookie the browser keeps, and reloading Tab B can restore the previous user's session.

The fix

  1. login() takes AUTH_COOKIE_LOCK, with a pre-send generation check. Any in-flight refresh settles — cookie applied — before login sends a byte, so login's Set-Cookie is provably the last write; a logout or a newer login landing while this one is queued makes it inert before credentials go out.
  2. loginInFlight + settledLogin(). Joining the lock means login no longer completes immediately, so the synchronous getAccessToken() peek in supersededToken() — and the same peek in apiFetch/apiGetBlob's stale branches — could run before the superseding login committed anything, 401ing the user out of a session about to exist. Those callers await the login instead, looping on identity so a replaced flight cannot release them early.
  3. The wait for the lock is bounded, not just the request. withAuthCookieLock's timeout starts when a turn arrives. changePassword holds that same globally-named lock deliberately unbounded, so one stalled password change parked every later sign-in — in this tab and in any other tab on any farm — with no timeout and no error. The clock now starts at the call; a turn arriving past it sends nothing.

Two hazards the issue did not predict

  • Awaiting the login from inside a held lock deadlocks: changePassword's nested refresh owns the lock the login is queued behind. supersededToken(heldAuthCookieLock) skips the wait for that caller, which must fail closed on supersession anyway.
  • An abandoned login still bumped the generation before queueing, so it discards a concurrent password change's response. Failing closed is the right side to err on; it is pinned by a test rather than left implicit.

Issue scope bullet 4 answered: changePassword has no synchronous peek of its own.

What is NOT covered, stated plainly

The overlapping-logins interleaving CodeRabbit raised is not reachable: the pre-send generation check drops a superseded login before it can produce a settlement a parked caller could read — probed, not reasoned about. The identity loop and the guard on loginInFlight's clear therefore both survive mutation. They stay as defence, and the test "only the newest of several queued logins ever puts credentials on the wire" pins the check that makes them unnecessary, so relaxing it goes red first.

Verification

Unit mutants, baseline green both sides — 8 killed on their named assertions, 2 surviving as described above:

Mutant Verdict Died on
login bypasses the cookie lock KILLED /auth/login length 0
supersededToken peeks, no await KILLED expected ApiError: Not authenticated. to equal { ok: true }
held-lock deadlock guard removed KILLED 5s timeout, i.e. the deadlock
apiFetch stale branch peeks KILLED ApiError 401
apiGetBlob stale branch peeks KILLED ApiError 401
pre-send generation check disabled KILLED [ 'first@b.co', 'second@b.co' ] reached the server
queue-wait bound removed KILLED the hang itself
settledLogin propagates a rejection KILLED wrong error surfaced to the parked caller
settledLogin snapshots once SURVIVED unreachable — see above
loginInFlight cleared without the identity guard SURVIVED unreachable — see above

E2E: session-races.spec.ts restructured, because this PR changes what that spec asserts (see the commit). Verified by a build-time source mutation — the suite's own mutants are network interceptions and cannot reach a client-side ordering property. With login's lock join removed and the image rebuilt, the spec dies on its named assertion; restored, rebuilt, full smoke green at 41 passed / 1 skipped.

web/ suite 2219 passing, npm run typecheck clean, coverage gate green (src/api/client.ts functions back to the 100% per-file floor — that was the CI failure).

Notes

  • No user-visible behavior change, so no GLOSSARY or Help update. The Help copy on multi-tab sessions does not document the reload outcome that changed.
  • Cost: a sign-in now waits behind an in-flight auth-cookie operation, bounded at 15s from the click, after which it fails rather than hanging.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability when sign-in overlaps with session refreshes, password changes, or other authentication requests.
    • Preserved correct ordering during concurrent sign-in attempts and page reloads.
    • Prevented stalled authentication requests from blocking indefinitely through timeout handling.
    • Ensured downloads and authenticated requests wait for sign-in completion when necessary.
    • Improved handling of canceled, replaced, or unsuccessful sign-in attempts.
    • Ensured authenticated session state is restored correctly after signing in during a page reload.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Login now queues behind the shared authentication-cookie lock, tracks superseded and timed-out requests, and lets stale-session recovery await queued logins. Tests cover generation rollback, request ordering, and authenticated session restoration.

Changes

Authentication serialization and recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lock-aware login execution
web/src/api/client.ts, web/src/api/client.test.ts
Login tracks the current request, queues through the shared lock, enforces timeouts, rejects superseded requests, and conditionally restores the prior session generation after abandonment.
Queued-login token recovery
web/src/api/client.ts
Authenticated and blob-request recovery waits for queued login completion. Lock-holding callers avoid deadlock and fail closed when no token exists.
Authentication race validation
web/src/api/client.test.ts, tools/simulation/ui/specs/session-races.spec.ts
Tests verify login ordering behind refresh, generation handling, password-change preservation, and restoration of the authenticated Sales session after reload.

Use a lot fixture that belongs to the active item.

LOT2 inherits inventoryItemId: "it1" from LOT, but this response models listInventoryLots("it2"). The test can therefore pass while the correction form displays a lot from another item. Return a copy with inventoryItemId: "it2" and assert that mockListLots receives "it1" and then "it2"; sequential mock responses do not verify request identity.

This file is not part of this PR's change. The branch was cut from another in-flight branch rather than main, so it carries 0e37b844 ("test(web): pin the lots-read ticket with a failing interleaving (#631)", from PR #647) and the diff shown here is that commit's, not mine.

The finding itself is correct and already fixed on #647's own branch — [{ ...LOT2, inventoryItemId: "it2" }] — after CodeRabbit raised it there. I am not hand-editing it here: the fixed version has been through that PR's review rounds and its mutation check, and a second copy of the fix would conflict when #647 merges.

I am rebasing with git rebase --onto origin/main 0e37b844, which drops the commit from this branch. After the force-push this file disappears from the diff and #647 lands its own fixed version. Confirmed with the owner of that branch.

@mforce, thanks for the clarification.

The finding is valid for the inherited #647 commit, but it is not a change that PR #648 should duplicate. Keeping the thread open is appropriate until the rebase removes web/src/routes/InventoryPage.test.tsx from this PR diff. The corrected fixture belongs in #647.

…sh cannot restore the wrong session

sessionGeneration and the access-token store are per-tab module state, so a
login in Tab B is invisible to a refresh already in flight in Tab A: Tab A's
completion sees its own untouched counter, looks uncontested, and #393's stale
branch never fires. Real network arrival order then decides whose Set-Cookie
survives, so reloading Tab B can restore the previous user's session.

login now runs inside AUTH_COOKIE_LOCK with a pre-send generation check, so any
in-flight refresh settles - cookie applied - before login sends a byte, and a
logout that lands while the login is queued makes it inert before credentials
go out. Login keeps the refresh timeout because it is replayable, unlike a
password change.

That alone would trade the cross-tab hole for a same-tab timing bug: the
synchronous getAccessToken peek a parked request makes when its own refresh
returns StaleSessionError assumed the superseding login had already committed.
Queued behind the same lock, it has not. A loginInFlight handle now lets
supersededToken, apiFetch and apiGetBlob await that login instead of peeking
once and 401ing the user out of a session about to exist.

Awaiting it from inside a held lock deadlocks - changePassword's nested refresh
owns the lock the login is queued behind - so that caller skips the wait and
keeps failing closed, which is what it must do on supersession anyway.

Tests: three new cases pin ordering, the parked-request wait, and the
logout-drops-a-queued-login path; ten existing session-generation and cross-tab
cases were restructured to release the parked gate before awaiting login. Six
mutants killed on their named assertions, baseline green both sides.

Closes #438
…ry await

Three review findings on the cookie-lock change, from CodeRabbit and an
independent review pass.

settledLogin snapshotted the in-flight login once. Logins replace one another,
so a caller could resume when the login it happened to observe settled while a
newer one was still queued, read an empty token store, and 401 - the same
premature 401 the helper exists to prevent, one layer out. It now loops on
identity: re-read after the await, compare the promise, never truthiness. A
rejection settles a flight exactly as a success does and is exactly as stale,
so the loop treats both alike.

The lock's own timeout starts when a turn arrives, so it capped login's request
and not its wait for the turn. changePassword holds that same globally named
lock deliberately unbounded, so one stalled password change parked every later
sign-in, in this tab and in any other tab on any farm, with no timeout and no
error. The clock now starts at the call, and a turn arriving past it sends
nothing: an abandoned sign-in must never put credentials on the wire or a
cookie in the jar afterwards.

Three tests: only the newest of several queued logins reaches the server, a
parked request gets a plain 401 when the login it waited for is rejected, and a
login behind an unbounded password change is bounded and then stays silent.

Reported honestly rather than papered over: the two-login interleaving
CodeRabbit described is NOT reachable, because the pre-send generation check
drops a superseded login before it can produce a settlement anyone could read.
Both that loop and the identity guard on the handle's clear survive mutation
today. They are defensive, and the test above pins the check that makes them so.
… lock

The spec held a bootstrap refresh open and then awaited the login response.
That is unreachable now: the login queues on the same cross-tab cookie lock, so
awaiting it before releasing the hold deadlocks the spec against the ordering it
exists to assert. It timed out at 45s on this branch's first CI run, which is
how the contract change was caught.

The release now happens immediately after the click, and the ordering the test
is named for is asserted directly from recorded auth traffic: the held refresh's
response is observed before the login request is issued. That is the #438
guarantee in a real browser with the real Web Locks API, and it is stronger
evidence than the old release point, which only implied it.

The durable half changed with it. Before, the two Set-Cookie writes raced and
the revoke could land after the login's cookie, so the safe documented outcome
was a forced fresh sign-in. The ordering is now decided rather than raced: the
stale refresh settles, is discarded and revoked inside the lock, all before the
login is allowed to send, so the login's cookie is written last and the reload
restores the session the user signed into. The security half is unchanged and
still asserted - the restored session is the Sales one, never the Owner one the
stale refresh carried.

Verified by build-time source mutation, which is what this guarantee needs: the
suite's own mutants are network interceptions and cannot reach a client-side
ordering property. With login's lock join removed and the image rebuilt, the
spec dies on its named assertion - "the login request went out before the held
bootstrap refresh settled". Restored, rebuilt (never --no-build, which re-runs
the mutant), full smoke green at 41 passed 1 skipped.

Both CI failures are addressed; recording them here since they arrived as checks rather than review threads.

Web typecheck, test, and build → "Test with coverage gate". The failure was ERROR: Coverage for functions (97.82%) does not meet "src/api/client.ts" threshold (100%) — new code with an uninvoked arrow. The three tests added for the review findings take it back to 100%; global 90.41 / 93.4 / 85.28 / 85.32 all clear their floors.

Playwright smoke over the simulation fixture. session-races.spec.ts:249 timed out at 45s, and it was a true positive: that spec holds a bootstrap refresh open and then awaits the login response, which this PR makes unreachable — the login queues on the same lock. It is the browser-level statement of the contract #438 changes, so it was restructured rather than relaxed, and it now asserts the ordering directly from recorded auth traffic. Its durable half flipped too: the reload used to restore nobody (the two Set-Cookie writes raced), and now restores the session the user signed into, because the stale refresh is discarded and revoked inside the lock before the login is allowed to send. The Owner-must-not-return half is unchanged and still asserted. The check's own re-run on this commit is the verification.

Also on this push: the branch was cut from another in-flight branch and carried 0e37b844 from #647, which is why the review saw InventoryPage.test.tsx. Rebased with git rebase --onto origin/main 0e37b844; that file is out of the diff and #647 lands its own fixed version.

@coderabbitai full review

Deep review requested deliberately, not reflexively: this diff is concurrency and auth — a cross-tab lock ordering, a shared in-flight handle, and a bound on how long credentials may sit queued — which is the class where a shallow pass is weakest and a defect is expensive to find later. Since the last round the diff has grown a queue-wait bound, an identity loop in settledLogin, three tests, and a restructured E2E spec, and the branch was rebased so the previous round's InventoryPage.test.tsx finding is no longer part of it.

Worth aiming at, since I have already gone over them and would rather be contradicted with evidence than agreed with:

  • the abandoned-login path — a login can now be abandoned at 15s while its queued attempt still holds a place in line; it refuses to send afterwards, but I would like that re-checked for a window where it could still commit a token or a cookie;
  • the deadlock argument for supersededToken(heldAuthCookieLock) skipping the wait — I claim the only holder is changePassword's nested refresh;
  • whether an abandoned login's generation bump discarding a concurrent password change is the right failure direction.

Comment thread web/src/api/client.ts
Round-2 review, and the first finding is a real user-visible defect rather than
a hardening nicety.

login() bumps the session generation eagerly, which is what makes the newest
sign-in win. A login that is abandoned at the queue deadline never sends, so it
has superseded nothing - but the bump stayed, and an in-flight password change
settling afterwards saw its generation move and discarded itself: the server
had already committed the new password, the freshly issued cookie was revoked,
and the user was told the change failed. "Fails closed" is the right instinct
for a write that might not have landed and the wrong one for a write that has.
The PR text called that trade-off acceptable and a test pinned it as intended
behaviour, which is how a defect becomes a specification; both are corrected.

The rollback is conditional and both conditions carry their own test. Nothing
may have bumped after us, so the restored value is exactly what earlier flights
captured; and no refresh may be in flight, because one that had captured our
value would be discarded by the rollback and have its own valid cookie revoked
- trading this bug for a forced re-auth.

The E2E release now synchronises on the pending Web Lock entry rather than on
the click. Locator.click() resolves when the click is dispatched, not when the
page's fetch is issued, so releasing on the click let a lock-bypass build win
the ordering race by luck - the assertion could pass against the defect it
exists to catch. The suite asks navigator.locks.query() instead: while the
bootstrap refresh HOLDS the shared name, a queued sign-in is a PENDING entry on
it. The wait is best-effort so a bypass build dies on the ordering assertion
rather than on this wait's timeout.

Re-verified by build-time source mutation with that synchronisation in place.
The first attempt killed the mutant on "the held refresh never settled" - a red
for arrival rather than for order, and not the assertion the test is named for.
Both events are now awaited before their order is judged, and the mutant dies on
the named message.

@coderabbitai review

Round 2 found a real one and I have fixed it rather than defended it: an abandoned login no longer discards a password change the server already committed. That round also corrected my E2E evidence — the mutation red I reported was arrival-order luck, not the ordering assertion, and the spec now synchronises on the pending Web Lock entry and dies on its named message.

Pushed since your last pass (913dbd67):

  • the conditional generation rollback, with a test per condition;
  • the E2E release synchronised on navigator.locks.query(), re-verified by build-time source mutation with a rebuild on both the mutate and the restore;
  • the bounded-wait test now asserts the password change commits and that nothing is revoked.

Worth pointing at, since I would rather be contradicted with evidence than agreed with: the rollback's second condition (refreshInFlight === null) is my own judgement call about which failure to prefer — a discarded password change versus a discarded refresh whose cookie then gets revoked. If a refresh can capture the login's generation by some path that does not set refreshInFlight, the condition is wrong and the rollback can strand a valid session.

@mforce Review complete. I found no new issue in the latest push.

The refreshInFlight === null condition is sufficient for the current call graph.

A normal refresh captures sessionGeneration in refreshTokens(). That function assigns refreshInFlight before it queues or sends the refresh. The rollback therefore cannot run while a normal refresh has captured the abandoned login generation.

executeHeldRefresh() does not set refreshInFlight. However, it only runs through refreshTokens(heldLock). changePassword() supplies heldLock.generation from before it enters the auth-cookie lock. If changePassword() already holds the lock when login starts, the held refresh uses the earlier generation. If changePassword() starts after login increments the generation, it queues after that login. After rollback, its pre-send generation check rejects it before a held refresh can start.

The new tests cover both rollback branches. The E2E test now waits best-effort for the held and pending Web Lock entries, releases the held refresh, awaits both traffic events, and asserts the required order. This addresses the previous arrival-order false positive.

I used the existing PR context for the expected rollback and E2E invariants.

Learning: In `web/src/api/client.ts`, `performLogin()` must restore the eager `sessionGeneration` increment only when an abandoned queued login never sent credentials, `sessionGeneration === generation`, and `refreshInFlight === null`. This prevents the abandoned login from invalidating a committed `changePassword()` response, while preserving generation protection for a refresh that captured the login generation.

Timestamp: 2026-09-02T07:18:09.510Z
Learning: In `tools/simulation/ui/specs/session-races.spec.ts`, the `#438` Playwright session-race test must wait best-effort for `navigator.locks.query()` to report both held and pending `cluckwork.auth.refresh` entries before `releaseHeldRefresh()`. The wait must not itself fail a lock-bypass mutation. The test must await both the login response and held refresh response before it asserts the recorded `refresh:response` before `login:request` order, so mutations fail on the ordering guarantee rather than on event arrival.

Timestamp: 2026-09-02T07:07:32.515Z
Learning: In `web/src/api/client.ts`, `performLogin()` checks `sessionGeneration` before it sends `/auth/login`. A queued login that a newer login or logout supersedes must reject with `StaleSessionError` without sending credentials.
