WalkthroughBefore this PR, lazy reauthentication was not centralized through a host-owned coordinator, leaving OAuth flows without unified cancellation, runtime-aware routing, or consistent timeout control. After this PR, reauthentication is routed through a dedicated interactive auth coordinator that supports cancellable flows, runtime-based challenge routing, and a configurable interactive timeout.

…or (Fixes #2562) A subagent that hit a missing or expired Codex token ran the interactive OAuth flow itself. It printed "the auth dialog will open on your next message" into a transcript nobody was watching, opened a browser against whichever account the profile happened to name, and then waited. Cancelling that browser tab settled nothing: the callback listener, the device-code poll and the 20-minute timeout all stayed alive, so the instance looked hung and the only recovery was killing it. Running several instances made it worse, because each one raced the others for the same bucket. Interactive authentication now has exactly one owner: the top-level interactive host. InteractiveAuthCoordinator (packages/providers/src/auth) holds one session per provider:bucket. A runtime that needs credentials submits a challenge carrying the provider, the bucket, the requesting runtime's kind and id, a reason and a correlation id, and nothing else. No credentials cross the boundary. Equivalent concurrent challenges join the existing session instead of opening a competing flow, and every waiter is settled exactly once with one of four typed outcomes: succeeded, cancelled, failed or timed_out. TokenAccessCoordinator.triggerAuthFlow decides where a challenge goes. Agent and subagent runtimes always escalate; they never start a flow locally, and if no host is bound they fail immediately with InteractiveAuthHostUnavailableError rather than waiting on UI that cannot appear. Host runtimes escalate when a host is bound, which is what makes host-triggered lazy auth cancellable, and fall back to the pre-existing direct path when it is not, so embedded and test callers are unaffected. Cancellation now reaches the provider. OAuthProvider.initiateAuth takes an optional AbortSignal, threaded through AuthFlowOrchestrator into CodexOAuthProvider, where it aborts the callback server, the device poll, the pre-browser delay and the timeout backstop together. The abort is rethrown before the browser-to-device-code fallback, so cancelling never silently switches flow type or reopens the same account. The auth lock is still released on the way out, and a cancelled attempt can be retried without restarting. Sharing is per-flight rather than per-caller. Signal-less participants await the whole flight; a participant with its own signal detaches with its own reason and leaves the flight running for everyone else; the last departure aborts and retires it. The 20-minute backstop belongs to the flight, not to whichever caller created it, so it cannot be cleared out from under the participants that are still waiting. Host side: useUpdateAndOAuthBridges binds the handler on mount and unbinds on cleanup, /auth cancel settles active sessions, oauth_waiting and oauth_settled events make a waiting subagent visible without putting instructions in its transcript, and auth.interactiveTimeoutMs (default 20 minutes) bounds every session. Error wording for agent, subagent and cli-bootstrap runtimes now points at the interactive host session instead of promising a dialog that will not appear there. The ownership and state-transition contract is written up in dev-docs/auth-coordination.md. Tests are behavioural: coalescing, cancel-settles-all, cancel/success and timeout races, waiter detachment, orphan cleanup, host shutdown, unresolvable and non-conforming host managers, external cancellation of the Codex flow, abort-before-fallback, and the runtime-kind routing matrix. Verification: typecheck, lint and build pass. The full suite reports six failures across four files (hooks-caller-application, turn.watchdog, direct-web-fetch-real-transport, lock-successor-race); none are touched by this change, all pass standalone, and they are wall-clock-sensitive tests running at concurrency 4 while sibling checkouts load the machine. The stepfun-37 smoke profile returns a provider-side 400 "no active step plan subscription", a string that appears nowhere in the source; startup is verified independently and a full prompt round-trip on gpt56solhigh returns EXIT=0. Fixes #2562 Signed-off-by: Andrew C. Oliver <acoliver@gmail.com>
CI's format gate runs prettier over the tree and fails on any diff. The ownership table in dev-docs/auth-coordination.md was hand-written and never passed through prettier, so column padding and one emphasis marker (*lazy* rather than _lazy_) differed. Content is unchanged. Refs #2562 Signed-off-by: Andrew C. Oliver <acoliver@gmail.com>
Six findings from CodeRabbit and OpenCodeReview, triaged individually; the five rejections and one deferral are recorded on the PR with evidence. The one that mattered was a test that did not test what it claimed. LockGatedTokenStore in auth-flow-orchestrator.signal.spec.ts started with pendingLock undefined, so its first acquireAuthLock delegated straight to super and returned immediately, and releaseLockAcquisition was a no-op. The test passed while exercising the post-lock throwIfAborted guard rather than cancellation arriving during the lock wait. The gate is now armed by default and disarms after the first hold, so the wait is real. detachWaiter could announce a waiting session after it had already gone terminal: settleWaiter emits synchronously through oauthUIBridge, so a listener calling cancelActiveSessions re-entrantly settles the session before detachWaiter reaches its final emit. It now re-checks that the session is still the registered one, which is what settleSession invalidates. The check is written against the registry rather than session.settled because the narrowed boolean makes the direct read statically dead. The challenge-reason classification is now guarded like every other store read on that path. It ran before performDiskCheck, so a transient read failure rejected getToken instead of letting the guarded disk check find a token that was there all along. The reason is only a label, so it defaults to authentication-required and genuine store outages still propagate. It moved to interactive-auth-request.ts, and the auth-bucket-prompt read moved to token-request-args.ts, to keep token-access-coordinator.ts inside its source-size budget. /auth cancel snapshots sessions before cancelling them, so a session opened in between produced a dangling "Retry with ." sentence. The retry clause now comes from the snapshot and disappears when the snapshot is empty. Two test-quality fixes: the host-cleanup waiter is bounded at 2000ms like its sibling so a cleanup regression fails fast rather than waiting on the 20-minute production default, and the escalation timeout moved from 10ms to 200ms, since 10ms is inside CI timer-resolution noise. Verification: typecheck, lint and format pass; 45 provider specs and 60 CLI specs green, including the now-effective lock-wait cancellation test. Refs #2562 Signed-off-by: Andrew C.

TLDR
A subagent that hit a missing or expired Codex token used to run the interactive OAuth flow itself: it printed "the auth dialog will open on your next message" into a transcript nobody was watching, opened a browser, and waited. Cancelling that browser tab settled nothing, because the callback listener, the device-code poll and the 20-minute timeout all stayed alive, so the instance looked hung and the only recovery was killing it.
This PR gives interactive authentication exactly one owner: the top-level interactive host. Subagents escalate a structured challenge and wait visibly. The host runs one coalesced flow that can actually be cancelled, and every waiter is settled exactly once with a typed outcome.
Reviewers should look hardest at two places: the routing decision in
TokenAccessCoordinator.triggerAuthFlow(which runtimes escalate, which fall back to the legacy direct path) and the flight-sharing semantics inCodexOAuthProvider/AuthFlowOrchestrator(who owns the timeout, and when a detaching participant may abort a flight that others are still awaiting).Dive Deeper
Coordinator.
InteractiveAuthCoordinator(packages/providers/src/auth/interactive-auth-coordinator.ts) holds one session perprovider:bucket. A runtime submits a challenge carrying the provider, the bucket, the requesting runtime's kind and id, a reason and a correlation id, and nothing else; no credentials cross the boundary. Equivalent concurrent challenges join the existing session instead of opening a competing browser or device flow. Every waiter settles exactly once assucceeded,cancelled,failedortimed_out, including in cancel/success and timeout/cancel races.Routing.
TokenAccessCoordinator.triggerAuthFlowdecides where a challenge goes:agentandsubagentruntimes always escalate. They never start a flow locally, and when no host is bound they fail immediately withInteractiveAuthHostUnavailableErrorinstead of waiting on UI that cannot appear.Cancellation reaches the provider.
OAuthProvider.initiateAuthtakes an optionalAbortSignal, threaded throughAuthFlowOrchestratorintoCodexOAuthProvider, where it aborts the callback server, the device poll, the pre-browser delay and the timeout backstop together. The abort is rethrown before the browser-to-device-code fallback, so cancelling never silently switches flow type or reopens the same account. The auth lock is still released on the way out, and a cancelled attempt can be retried without restarting the process.Flight sharing. Sharing is per-flight rather than per-caller. Signal-less participants await the whole flight; a participant with its own signal detaches with its own reason and leaves the flight running for the others; the last departure aborts and retires it. The 20-minute backstop belongs to the flight rather than to whichever caller created it, so it cannot be cleared out from under participants that are still waiting.

Reviewer Test Plan
Behavioural tests carry the contract; the interesting ones to read are
interactive-auth-coordinator.spec.ts(coalescing, cancel-settles-all, races, detachment, orphan cleanup, shutdown, no-host fail-fast),token-access-coordinator.escalation.spec.ts(the runtime-kind routing matrix),codex-oauth-provider.external-cancel.spec.ts(external cancellation, abort-before-fallback) anduseUpdateAndOAuthBridges.test.ts(host binding, unresolvable and non-conforming managers).Manual exercise, which is where the original bug lived: log out of Codex (
/auth codex logout), then send a prompt that dispatches a subagent using a Codex profile. The subagent should show a waiting-for-auth state and put no auth instructions in its transcript, while the host, and only the host, opens the flow. Run/auth cancelat that point: the host reports the cancellation, the browser callback listener and any polling stop, the subagent's request fails with a typed cancelled error rather than hanging, and the session survives. Then run/auth codexand confirm the retry works without restarting. Repeat with two subagents needing the same bucket to see a single coalesced flow, and once in a non-interactive run (llxprt -p "..."with no host) to confirm the immediate fail-fast instead of a silent wait.Testing Matrix
Verified on macOS: typecheck, lint and build pass. The full suite reports six failures across four files (
hooks-caller-application,turn.watchdog,direct-web-fetch-real-transport,lock-successor-race); none are touched by this change, all pass standalone, and they are wall-clock-sensitive tests running at concurrency 4 while sibling checkouts load the machine. Thestepfun-37smoke profile returns a provider-side400 no active step plan subscription, a string that appears nowhere in the source, so startup was verified independently (--version, EXIT=0) and with a full prompt round-trip on another profile (EXIT=0).Linked issues / bugs
