Summary

Since account linking, every revoke on the PC leaves a tombstone (account-tombstones.json), so no account record can bring the key back. On a PC in no account, that also refused pairing the same key again with a code started through the relay (tombstoned). That worked before account linking.

Changes:

• Re-pairing: on a PC in no account, a code started through the relay may bring back a key the PC revoked itself, and clears its tombstone. A key the account removed stays refused, and an unreadable tombstone file still refuses every such code.
• Recording the re-pairing: a re-pairing that undoes the PC's own revoke records no starter (added_by). It counts as the PC's own pairing, so a tombstone that comes back (from a sibling dir, or a stop before it was cleared) takes it only if newer.
• Taking over a revoke: an account remove for a key the PC revoked first takes over its tombstone.
• Sibling merge: where two state dirs share one registry, the merge keeps the account's removal over a revoke on the PC, with the later of the two times.
• Unchanged: revokes still tombstone, so a key revoked before the PC joined an account stays out after it joins. The start-up repair is as on main.

Also adds a regression test for #2863 (closed as not reproducible).

Not done:

• Bounding the file's growth. A cap on old tombstones lets a key revoked long ago come back by a signed add, against "a revoke on this PC wins over the account". The file grows as on main, about 200 bytes per revoked key. That half of Account: tombstones never shrink #2865 needs a decision.

Part of #2865

Validation

• bun run check fast: all ok (typecheck, build, unit tests 0 fail).
• bun test server/account/ server/relay/ server/device-access.contract.test.ts: 271 pass.
• Each rule has a test that fails when the rule is removed: re-pairing, a re-pairing whose tombstone comes back, keeping the account's removals, the unreadable file, the take-over by an account remove, the merge's account-first rule with the later time, and refusing a key revoked before joining.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Revoked devices remain blocked from restoring access through account-state updates, including after a PC joins an account.
  • On a PC not linked to an account, a new relay pairing can restore a previously revoked device’s access.
  • Local revocation records are limited to the 1,000 newest entries; account-related revocation records are retained.
• Documentation
  • Updated account guidance to explain revocation behavior, record limits, and relay pairing exceptions.

The device store now limits local tombstones to 1,000 while retaining account tombstones. Relay re-pairing can clear a tombstone on an accountless PC. Tests cover account tombstone handling during pairing, signed adds, and startup reconciliation.

Changes: Tombstone lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tombstone retention policy server/devices.ts, server/device-access.contract.test.ts, docs/account.md	The device store caps local tombstones at 1,000 and preserves account tombstones. The contract test checks that the oldest local tombstone is dropped, and the documentation describes the retention rule.
Relay re-pairing and account tombstones server/devices.ts, server/device-access.contract.test.ts, server/account/account.contract.test.ts	When the PC has no account, relay pairing can proceed for a tombstoned key and clears its tombstone. Tests also verify account tombstone handling for signed adds and startup reconciliation.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #2865 has two coding objectives. The head implements both in server/devices.ts.

(1) Bound the growth of account-tombstones.json. tombstone() now keeps at most LOCAL_TOMBSTONES_MAX (1000) local-revoke tombstones. It drops the oldest local tombstones first and never drops account removals. This bounds growth from revokes, which the issue names as the source of growth.

(2) A revoked key may pair again through a relay-started code on a PC in no account. In pairRelay, the tombstone and accountError checks now apply only when the PC has an account (accountless = this.account() === null). clearTombstone runs when !remote || accountless. On an accountful PC, the relay pairing still refuses a tombstoned key.

Residual point: account removals have no expiry. The issue asks to keep them for at least the 30-day replay window, and the head keeps them longer. The issue offers expiry as an example, not a requirement, so this is not a failure. The issue text does list 'bound the file' as the expected result. Account removals still accumulate without a limit.

Note: the current PR description says a PC in no account keeps no tombstones. The head does not do this. Commit 3ea3542 replaced that approach. The code, the commit messages, and the change summary agree with the head code, so this assessment uses the head code. The PR description is stale.

The test additions (device-access and account contract tests) are known from the change summary. I did not read those test files.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes connect to the tombstone behavior that #2865 covers.

• server/devices.ts: LOCAL_TOMBSTONES_MAX cap in tombstone(), and the accountless relay re-pair path in pairRelay. Both directly implement #2865.
• docs/account.md: documents the tombstone rules, the 1000-tombstone cap, and the relay re-pair behavior. This describes the changed behavior.
• server/device-access.contract.test.ts: tests for relay re-pair after revoke and for the local tombstone cap. These support the in-scope changes.
• server/account/account.contract.test.ts: a regression test for the #2863 shared-registry merge with startup repair, and a test that a revoked key stays absent when a member later submits a signed add. The #2863 test covers the tombstone-clear path that this change alters, so it is connected even though #2863 is closed. The signed-add test checks that revoke tombstones still win, which the head keeps.

No change in the summary is unrelated to tombstone behavior. The test and documentation evidence comes from the change summary, not from reading those files.

Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the Change section (problem, re-pairing rule, tombstone handling, sibling merge, unchanged behavior, and an explicit list of what was not done) and the Validation section (commands run with results, tests added, and the scenarios each rule's test covers). It links the related issues (#2863, #2865). The template asks for a linked issue for features; this PR is a bug fix, so that does not apply. Contract-test coverage for the HTTP/WS-relevant pairing paths is described. Validation lists the checks run and their results; it does not state that any checks were skipped, which is acceptable for a mostly complete description.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a PC in no account keeps no tombstones. The raw summary and objectives show the approach changed during review. The final changes keep revoke tombstones, clear the tombstone on relay-code re-pairing for accountless PCs, and cap local tombstones at 1,000. The title no longer describes the final behavior, so it is partially related to the changeset.

Resolution

Retitle the PR to match the final behavior. For example: "fix(account): let a revoked key re-pair on a PC in no account" or "fix(devices): cap local tombstones and allow relay re-pairing".

Review round

The omo review of 60667e4 (with Codex Terra) answered BLOCK on one finding, reproduced.

MEDIUM (Codex rated it HIGH). With no tombstone written on a PC in no account, a key revoked there came back by a member's signed add once the PC joined an account. That broke "a revoke on this PC wins over the account".

Fixed in 3ea3542 with a different approach:

• Revokes write their tombstone again.
• On a PC in no account, a code started through the relay may let a revoked key back in, and clears its tombstone. That is the re-pairing Account: tombstones never shrink #2865 asked for.
• Tombstones of local revokes are capped at the newest 1000, oldest dropped first, so the file stops growing. An account's removals are never dropped.

Tests:

• New: "a key revoked before the PC joined an account stays out: a member's signed add for it is refused" (the reviewer's scenario).
• New: "keeps at most LOCAL_TOMBSTONES_MAX tombstones of revokes on the PC, dropping the oldest".
• Updated: the no-account re-pair test now expects the tombstone, and checks that the relay code clears it.
• Each rule fails its test when removed. The previous approach fails the reviewer's scenario.

LOW (also on main): the doc said a PC in no account keeps no tombstones, which was not so after its last member was revoked. The doc now says what the code does.

Validation at 3ea3542: bun run check fast all ok (typecheck, build, unit tests 0 fail).

Apply the 1,000-tombstone cap when the store loads.

The cap runs only when a new revoke adds a key. An existing account-tombstones.json above LOCAL_TOMBSTONES_MAX loads without trimming and stays oversized until the next relay-key revoke. docs/account.md says the PC keeps the newest 1000. Trim the loaded local tombstones in the constructor, and persist the result when it changes.

1205-1207: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Cover out-of-order local tombstones in the cap test.

The cap test seeds local tombstones already sorted by removed_at. Eviction by array position passes that fixture.

mergeAccountTombstones (server/devices.ts:201-221) can write local tombstones out of time order. It keeps each key at its first-seen position, even when a later removal replaces its timestamp. tombstone() then drops by array position (server/devices.ts:796), so it can drop a newer local tombstone first. The new case below expects the oldest entries to be dropped. With the current positional eviction, newest-local and old-0 are dropped, so these assertions fail.

Sorting by removed_at in tombstone() alone does not add this coverage, because the current fixture already passes with time-ordered eviction. The new case is needed to catch the regression. It also fails until that ordering fix is made.

Second review round (final fix round)

The omo review of 3ea3542 (with Codex Terra xhigh) found no HIGH. Fixed in dabc716, each with a test that fails without its fix:

Finding	Resolution
MEDIUM: a PC in no account skipped the unreadable-tombstone-file check for codes started through the relay.	The check applies again.
LOW: once its last member was revoked, a PC counted as in no account, so a code started through the relay could bring back a key the account removed.	Only keys the PC revoked itself may come back that way.
MEDIUM (unreproduced): a key revoked locally first, then removed by the account, kept a "local" tombstone, which the cap could drop.	The account remove now takes that tombstone over.
MEDIUM (unreproduced): the cap dropped by place in the file, not by time.	It now drops the oldest by removed_at.
LOW: the PR body still described the first approach.	Rewritten.

Left as is:

• MEDIUM: after a re-pair, the sibling state dir keeps its tombstone until it starts. Its start-up repair then drops the tombstone, because the merged registry carries the newer row. The test "a key paired again in one of two state dirs stays paired, without its tombstone, when the other starts" covers this.
• LOW: mergeAccountTombstones does not apply the cap; the next revoke does.

Validation at dabc716: bun run check fast all ok. bun test server/account/ server/relay/ server/device-access.contract.test.ts: 255 pass.

[devswha]

Third review round

The omo review of dabc716 (with Codex Terra xhigh) answered BLOCK. Fixed in cea3e14:

Finding	Resolution
HIGH, reproduced: with the cap of 1000, a key revoked before 1000 others lost its tombstone, and a member's signed add brought it back.	The cap is removed. Any cap trades away "a revoke on this PC wins over the account", so the file grows as on main. That half of #2865 stays open, and the PR now says "Part of #2865".
MEDIUM, reproduced: a key re-paired by a relay code on a PC in no account records its starter (added_by). A sibling dir's merged-back revoke tombstone then made the start-up repair drop the row.	Only an account's removal ends a member-added row whatever its time; a revoke on this PC ends only rows made before it. The new test "a key re-paired with a relay code on a PC in no account stays when a sibling state dir brings its tombstone back" fails with the old rule.
LOW: the doc's next item still said every relay code is refused for a tombstoned key.	Reworded with the exception.

Left as follow-ups:

• MEDIUM, unreproduced: a sibling dir's local tombstone can win a merge over the account's take-over when both have the same removed_at.
• LOW: moot now that the cap is gone.

Validation at cea3e14: bun run check fast all ok. bun test server/account/ server/relay/ server/device-access.contract.test.ts: 254 pass.

[devswha]

Fourth review round

The omo review of cea3e14 (with Codex Terra xhigh) answered BLOCK. Fixed in 799fe53, each with a test that fails without its fix:

Finding	Resolution
HIGH, reproduced: the start-up repair told a relay code's re-pairing from an account add only by added_by. A sibling dir that missed a revoke on this PC brought the key back through its account row.	A member's row (account set) goes with any tombstone of its key, whatever its time. Only a row without an account (a relay code's re-pairing on a PC in no account) gets the time rule. New test: "a key revoked on this PC stays out when a sibling dir that missed the revoke added it through the account".
MEDIUM, reproduced: the sibling merge kept the later tombstone, so a revoke on the PC could replace the account's removal and let a relay code bring the key back.	The account's removal wins the merge, whatever the times. New test: "merging two dirs keeps the account's removal of a key over a later revoke on the PC".
LOW: a comment still named the removed cap.	Reworded.

Validation at 799fe53: bun run check fast all ok. bun test server/account/ server/relay/ server/device-access.contract.test.ts: 256 pass.

[devswha]

Fifth review round

The omo review of 799fe53 answered BLOCK. Both reproduced findings came from my own start-up repair changes of the two rounds before. This PR has kept producing new edge cases there, so I cut it back. Fixed in 9d3f97b:

Finding	Resolution
HIGH, reproduced: a relay code's row on a PC in no account let a key revoked on this PC come back through a sibling dir.	stale() is back to main's rule.
MEDIUM, reproduced: the merge's account-first rule dropped the later revoke time.	The account's removal is kept with the later of the two times.
LOW, reproduced: the merge's rewrite check ignored record_id.	It compares record_id too. Tested.

Back to its state before the third round, and now a known MEDIUM, listed in the PR body: with two state dirs, a relay code's re-pairing on a PC in no account can be dropped at the next start. This fails closed: the device pairs again.

Also merged origin/main (with #2930 and #2931) in, with no force-push. The #2863 regression test now pairs a second after the removal, so it no longer depends on timing.

Validation at 22c8270: bun run check fast all ok. bun test server/account/ server/relay/ server/device-access.contract.test.ts: 270 pass, three runs in a row.

[devswha]

Sixth review round

The omo review of 22c8270 answered BLOCK on one finding, a reproduced MEDIUM. Fixed in c6fac3c:

The finding. On a PC in no account, a key re-paired by a code that another device started recorded that starter (added_by). When a tombstone came back, from a sibling dir or a stop before it was cleared, the start-up repair dropped the row whatever its time.

The fix. A re-pairing that undoes the PC's own revoke now records no starter, so only a newer tombstone takes it. Every other relay-code pairing still records its starter. The new test, "a key re-paired on a PC in no account with a code another device started stays when its tombstone comes back", uses a real starter, and fails when the starter is recorded. This also resolves the MEDIUM the fifth round left open, so the PR body no longer lists it.

Left as notes (LOW, unreproduced):

• An older account removal from one dir still beats a newer revoke in the other dir, even if a pairing on the PC cleared that removal in between. On main every relay code for a tombstoned key was refused, so this is a missed gain, not a regression.
• The reviewer's second note.

Validation at c6fac3c: bun run check fast all ok. bun test server/account/ server/relay/ server/device-access.contract.test.ts: 271 pass.

[devswha]

Local merge gate (owner-approved): bun run check fast passed at this head, omo CLEAR at c6fac3c after 6 rounds, threads resolved, merges cleanly. Part of #2865; carries the #2863 regression test. Merged without waiting for GitHub CI.
