fix(server): device_open finds a booted AVD by name and says when the device list failed - #30289
device_open answered No device <id> on 'This machine' (hostId local). Call device_list for current ids. for devices that exist:
Android ids change on boot. A shut-down AVD is listed by its name (Medium_Phone), a running one by its adb serial (emulator-5554, name Medium_Phone). device_open {deviceId:"Medium_Phone"} boots it and returns emulator-5554; the next device_open {deviceId:"Medium_Phone"}, from that thread or another, fails with "No device".
A failed refresh looks like a missing device. When a host's device list fails, DeviceService.list marks the host failed and keeps its previous devices. device_open then looked the id up in that stale list and reported "No device", or, with a hostId, sent the agent to another host that happened to list the same id.
Reproduced on main as failing tests of the code paths named in the report (this VM has no local Android emulator).
Change
DeviceService.locateDevice: an exact id still wins wherever it is listed. When no device in scope has the id, the one running Android emulator whose name is that AVD name stands in for it, under the existing host rules (a hostId decides; without one, a match on two hosts is ambiguous). A host running several emulators of the same AVD resolves to none of them, and is never skipped in favour of another host.
device_open (pickDevice): when the id is not found and the asked host (or, without a hostId, any host) last failed to list devices, the error says that host's device list failed, with its detail, and to call device_list again, instead of "No device" or "it is on another host".
Server-only fix with no visible surface, so the proof is the red tests plus their runs; there are no captures.
New tests, with the implementation from main and the tests from this branch:
× finds a running emulator by the AVD name it was opened with
× does not guess between two emulators running the same AVD
× prefers a listed id to another host's emulator running that AVD
× says a host's device list failed instead of that a device is missing
× says the asked host's device list failed even when another host has the id
AssertionError: expected undefined to match object { Object (hostId, id) }
Received: "No device emulator-5562 on 'This machine' (hostId local). Call device_list for current ids."
Received: "Device MAC-UDID is not on 'This machine' (hostId local). It is on 'Mac Mini' (hostId mac-mini); pass that hostId."

… device lists (#30273)
These tests reproduce #30273: an AVD name no longer resolves
once the emulator is listed by its adb serial, and a host whose device list
failed is reported as having no such device.

… device lists (#30273)
A running emulator is listed by its adb serial, so the AVD name an agent
listed it by before boot stopped resolving. locateDevice now falls back,
on a host where no device has the id, to the one emulator running the AVD
of that name. A host whose last refresh failed keeps its previous devices,
so device_open now says that host's device list failed, with its detail,
instead of that the device is missing.

…D is never redirected to another host
Review round 1 (#30273): the AVD-name fallback dropped a host running two
emulators of one AVD and then picked another host's emulator, and it made a
listed AVD id ambiguous with another host's running emulator of that name.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…host having the id
Review round 2 (#30273): with hostId set, DeviceOnOtherHostError returned
before the failed-refresh check, so the agent was sent to another host
without hearing that the asked host's list had failed. The AVD-name
fallback now only matches running emulators.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Device opening can resolve a running Android emulator by its AVD name and now reports failed device listings with retry guidance. Host ambiguity and existing access checks remain in place, limiting the change's exposure.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Device lookup now resolves running Android emulators by AVD name when no exact device ID matches. It reports relevant host device-list failures through the device tool, including host details and retry instructions.

Summary
Resolve device IDs and AVD names apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.ts, apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.test.ts
Lookup prefers exact in-scope device IDs, then checks running non-physical Android devices by AVD name. Tests cover ambiguity, host selection, exact-ID precedence, and the listed emulator serial returned for an AVD name.
When a relevant host’s device-list refresh failed, lookup returns DeviceListFailedError with host details. The device tool maps this error to DeviceToolUnavailableError and advises retrying with device_list. Tests cover failed refreshes during device ID and AVD-name lookup.
Opening an emulator by AVD name can wrongly report a device-list failure after an agent-readiness failure, even though the emulator was listed. This is a narrow edge case that clears on the next device_list. Fix it before merge if convenient.

Explanation
The title names the two main changes: device_open finds a booted AVD by name and reports when a device list failed. It matches the PR's objectives and the changed code in locateDevice, DeviceListFailedError, and mapLocateErrors. It follows the conventional commit form and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each section has concrete content. The Problem section gives the reproduction path and expected behavior. The Change section explains the lookup rules and the new error text. The Scope section links the issue, names the exclusions, and states the approval path. The Verification section lists the failing tests before the fix, the passing runs after it, and what was not checked. The description does not state a verification of the UI because the change has no visible surface, and it says so. The agent model line is present at the end of the verification text.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #30273 has two coding requirements in scope. (1) Android id change on boot: DeviceService.locateDevice in apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.ts keeps exact id matches first. When no in-scope device has the id, it matches running, non-physical Android devices whose name equals the id (the AVD name). The host rules in locate still apply. The post-filter Option.filter resolves to none when the matched host lists more than one emulator of that AVD. (2) Failed refresh reported as missing device: when no in-scope exact match exists and the asked host (or any host without a hostId) has status: failed with detail, locateDevice fails with the new DeviceListFailedError. It lists each host's label and detail. mapLocateErrors in apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/device/handlers.ts maps that error to DeviceToolUnavailableError. The message names the failure and tells the caller to call device_list again. It no longer reports "No device" or "on another host" in that case. The changes since the previous review add this typed error path and move the failure check into locateDevice. The new path matches the requirement. Never-booted iOS simulator listing and the expo-device-hub getprop failure are excluded by the PR description and by the issue's follow-up framing, so they are not required here. Test results were taken from the PR description. I did not re-run the tests.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed production code matches the in-scope objectives of #30273. DeviceService.ts adds the AVD-name fallback, the ambiguity filter, the DeviceListFailedError class, and doc comments. handlers.ts adds the DeviceListFailedError mapping in mapLocateErrors. The namedHost helper is a small refactor used by both locate and the failure path. No changed hunk touches iOS simulator listing or expo-device-hub code, which the PR excludes. The test files named in the PR cover these behaviors. Test-file hunks were not re-read in this review.

… name while a device list failed
A host whose listing failed may be running that AVD unlisted, so an
unscoped name match on another host is not trusted; the failed listing
is reported instead. Exact device ids keep resolving as before.

The new failed-host selection and conditional suppression of DeviceOnOtherHostError add device-resolution policy to an MCP handler. Please move this policy into DeviceService and expose a structured failure for the handler to translate into the existing retry message. The handler should call the service and map its errors, rather than decide whether a failed host overrides a lookup result.

Report refresh failures before unresolved AVD-name ambiguity.
When a failed host retains a Medium_Phone emulator and a healthy host lists another, locateDevice raises DeviceHostAmbiguousError. This catch handles only DeviceOnOtherHostError. Consequently, mapLocateErrors reports “Pass hostId” and omits the refresh failure and retry guidance.
When no exact ID matches, prioritize relevant refresh failures over AVD-name ambiguity. Preserve ambiguity errors for exact-ID matches. Extend the failure-reporting test with this retained-entry case.

…ranks a match
The MCP handler interpreted host statuses and swallowed DeviceOnOtherHostError
itself. locateDevice now fails with DeviceListFailedError when no device in
scope has the exact id and listing failed on a host in scope, so the handler
only maps errors. This also reports the failed list when an AVD name matches
emulators on two hosts, instead of asking for a hostId.

Keep agent-readiness failures out of the device-list failure check.
A failed agent-readiness step sets the host status to "failed" with a detail. This happens after a successful list when retryHost runs and its agent-readiness check fails. locateDevice treats any "failed" host status as a failed device list. It returns DeviceListFailedError for an AVD-name lookup before it checks the emulator from the last successful list. Exact-ID lookup is not affected.
Record the device-list outcome separately from agent readiness. Base the DeviceListFailedError check on that outcome. Extend the existing failure test with a successful listing followed by an agent-readiness failure, and assert that the AVD-name lookup still resolves the emulator.
