Require the active sandbox socket identity at message dispatch (COL-128) - #1751
Conversation
The message router treated any socket tagged `sandbox` as authoritative. Replacing a bridge closed the previous sockets, but close is cleanup, not a fence: a replaced socket keeps its tags until its close completes, and a frame already queued on it (or delivered to a restored instance) still mutated session state after the new bridge was selected. Recovery after hibernation had the mirror problem: it re-adopted the first open sandbox socket, which could be the closing one. Every accepted bridge socket now carries a fresh `socket:<id>` tag, and accepting persists that id on the sandbox row (migration 48) before the replaced sockets are closed. Dispatch, recovery, and close handling compare a socket's tag against the row: the router refuses frames from any other sandbox socket and closes it again; recovery re-adopts only the socket the row names; a replaced socket's close no longer counts as losing the bridge. A spawn reservation clears the id with the credentials it invalidates. Sockets accepted before this change (no tag, NULL column) stay authoritative until the next bridge connects.

The persisted socket identity is the right kind of fence, but the authority model is not yet closed over every lifecycle transition. Two paths still let displaced sockets satisfy the new dispatch check: explicit detach leaves the persisted identity live, while NULL simultaneously means both legacy compatibility and deliberate revocation. Those are correctness gaps in the central invariant, not test-only omissions, so I am requesting changes.
The focused control-plane unit suite passes (151 tests), and the production change remains reasonably localized with no 1,000-line threshold regression. The missing cases are frames and delayed closes after detach/spawn revocation, including hibernation recovery.

[deep review] This comparison overloads NULL with two incompatible meanings: migration compatibility says an untagged legacy socket is authoritative, while updateSandboxForSpawn() writes NULL to mean that all previous authority was revoked. After a spawn reservation, a surviving legacy socket therefore still matches here even though its sid: belongs to the displaced sandbox; multiple surviving legacy sockets would all match as well. This defeats the fence precisely during rollout. Please represent legacy compatibility separately from revoked authority (for example with an explicit persisted state/sentinel) and include sandbox identity in legacy validation, with tests for legacy socket -> spawn reservation -> trailing frame/close.

Yes, NULL was doing two jobs. Fixed in bbdbb42: active_socket_id is now three-valued. A tag id matches exactly that socket; '' means revoked (written by the spawn reservation and by detach, the same sentinel the row already uses for auth_token_hash) and matches nothing; NULL is reserved for rows that predate the migration, and that branch now also requires the socket's sid: to match the row's sandbox. A single predicate (isAuthoritative) answers dispatch, recovery, and close handling. Tests cover legacy socket → spawn reservation → trailing frame and close, and a legacy socket for the wrong sandbox. Multiple pre-migration sockets for the same sandbox remain indistinguishable until the first post-deploy accept, which then refuses all of them; that is the extent of the compatibility window.

- Line 199: Update the socket validation logic around the parsed socket identity
and sandboxRepository.getActiveSocketId() so that when the active socket ID is
null, parsed.sandboxId must match modal_sandbox_id before accepting or routing
frames; preserve the existing socket-ID comparison otherwise, and add a
regression test covering the sandbox identity transition.

…gacy NULL The persisted identity was only advanced on accept. Detaching a socket (heartbeat stale, inactivity, unresponsive sends, fatal runtime errors) left the row naming it, so a trailing frame still passed the dispatch check and a restart could re-adopt the still-open socket. The spawn reservation cleared the id to NULL, which the migration-compatibility branch reads as "untagged sockets are authoritative", reopening the fence for a displaced legacy socket during rollout. `active_socket_id` is now three-valued: a tag id, '' for revoked, and NULL only on rows that predate persisted identities. Detach revokes before closing; the spawn reservation revokes instead of clearing; the legacy branch additionally requires the socket's sandbox id to match the row. One predicate now answers dispatch, recovery, and close handling.

Why
SessionMessageRouter.routetreated any socket taggedsandboxas authoritative. Replacing a bridge closed the previous sockets, butclose()is cleanup, not a fence: a replaced socket keeps its tags until its close handshake completes, and a frame already queued on it (or delivered to a restored instance) still mutated session state after the new bridge was selected. Recovery after hibernation had the mirror problem:getSandboxSocket()re-adopted the first OPEN sandbox socket, which could be the one that was closing. Surfaced by the deep review on #1745; tracked as P-9 / COL-128, which blocks N-8.What
socket:<id>tag, andacceptAndSetSandboxSocketpersists that id assandbox.active_socket_id(migration 48) before closing the sockets it replaces. The row, not the in-memory pointer, is the authority.SocketRegistry.isActiveSandbox/SessionWebSocketManager.isActiveSandboxSocketcompare a socket's tag against the row. The router refuses sandbox frames from any other socket (debug log) and closes that socket again, since a frame from it proves the first close did not complete.getSandboxSocket()recovery re-adopts only the socket carrying the persisted id; a same-sandbox socket that was replaced is skipped even when it is enumerated first.clearSandboxSocketIfMatchanswers by identity instead of the old "pointer is null, assume active" heuristic, so a replaced socket's close never schedules a disconnect check after a restart.updateSandboxForSpawnclearsactive_socket_idalong with the credentials: a spawn reservation displaces the previous bridge's authority the same way it invalidates its token.Decisions
