fix(server): provider refresh finds CLIs added to the login shell PATH after startup - #34514
The item is valid. recheckPathAfterMissingProbe re-read PATH through an interactive login shell ($SHELL -ilc, which runs the user's startup files) on every throttled health-check probe that found an enabled provider missing. Codex and Claude are enabled by default, so many users would spawn that shell about every 5 minutes, indefinitely. That is a regression from main, for example leaking ssh-agents from an unguarded eval. I took the smaller fix the item suggests: re-read only on refreshes. I removed recheckPathAfterMissingProbe, its lastPathRereadAt/pathRecheckRunning throttle state, the Clock import, and the Effect.andThen hook in the syncLiveSources stream handler, which is back to its form on main. rebuildMissingAfterPathChange still runs from refreshAll and refreshInstance, re-reads the login shell only when an enabled non-ACP instance is missing, and rebuilds every missing instance when PATH gained entries. This deliberately reverts the previous round's periodic recovery: a CLI installed while the server runs is picked up on the next refresh (Settings Refresh, onboarding, saving instance settings, or another refreshAll caller), not on its own. I removed the periodic health-check part of the existing test and kept the refresh/refreshInstance assertions. Net diff: -41/+5 lines in 2 files.
Commit dab06c0 (origin/main). Linux/bash stand-in for the reporter's macOS/zsh service. 1) Started node apps/server/src/bin.ts serve --base-dir <isolated> --port 38354 under env -i HOME=<fake home> SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/usr/bin:/bin T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0; the fake home's ~/.bash_profile did not add ~/.local/bin. Startup log: WARN Claude Agent CLI health check failed { errorTag: 'PlatformError' } at 13:05:49; caches/claudeAgent.json installed=false, "Claude Agent CLI (claude) was not found on PATH." 2) At 13:06:34 created an executable stub ~/.local/bin/claude (prints a version) and appended export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" to ~/.bash_profile; env -i HOME=<fake> PATH=/usr/bin:/bin bash -ilc 'command -v claude' then resolved it. 3) Ran the web dev server proxying to that server, paired in the preview browser, opened Settings -> Providers and clicked 'Refresh provider status' (it showed 'Checked just now'). Claude still read 'Not found · Claude Agent CLI (claude) was not found on PATH.'; the server logged a second Claude Agent CLI health check failed at 13:14:54, and the cache stayed installed=false with checkedAt 13:14:54. Only a restart would re-run fixPath().

Tests
vp test run src/provider/ProviderRegistry.test.ts src/provider/ProviderInstanceRegistryHydration.test.ts (apps/server): 69 passed. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (35 packages), tests (6 files, 171 passed, 2 skipped) all pass.
Not in this change
The periodic per-instance health check in packages/provider-core/src/server/managedProvider.ts does not re-read PATH, so it never spawns a login shell in the background; only manual refreshes and full refresh passes do
JAVA_HOME is not re-read on refresh
Windows PATH refresh (resolveWindowsEnvironment) is not covered
The OpenCode driver's refreshOnInterval skips uninstalled snapshots, so no periodic probe is published for a missing OpenCode CLI; it still recovers on a manual or full refresh
refreshAll callers that run without a user action (e.g. a model-catalog refresh) still re-read the login shell when a provider is missing, but only when they run, with no fixed period.
Re-reading PATH automatically, without a refresh, for CLIs installed while the server runs would need a growing backoff or a filesystem watch.
…H after startup
The server read the login shell PATH only once at startup, and provider
drivers copy the environment when they are built. A provider CLI installed
later into a directory the login shell puts on PATH stayed "not found on PATH"
until the server restarted.
A provider refresh (manual, per instance, or a full refresh pass) now re-reads
the login shell PATH asynchronously when an enabled instance reports its CLI
as missing. If the shell adds PATH entries, they are merged into the server
environment and only the missing instances are rebuilt, so installed instances
keep their sessions.
Fixes#34354
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…luding on health checks
An instance refresh merged the new login shell PATH into the server
environment but rebuilt only the refreshed instance, so other missing
providers kept their stale environment copy and later refreshes saw no new
PATH entries. The periodic health check never reread PATH at all.
A PATH change now rebuilds every enabled missing instance, and a health-check
probe that still finds a CLI missing rereads the login shell PATH, at most
once a minute.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…health checks
The previous change reread the login shell PATH from periodic health checks
whenever an enabled provider was missing. Codex and Claude are enabled by
default, so many users would spawn an interactive login shell (running their
startup files) about every five minutes, indefinitely.
Drop the health-check hook and its throttle state. PATH is reread only when a
provider refresh runs while an enabled provider is missing, and every missing
instance is still rebuilt when the PATH gained entries.

Provider refreshes now re-read the login-shell PATH, so CLIs installed while the server runs can be found. Before merging, bound the login-shell output, make sure workspace scans use the rebuilt instance, and make sure an interrupted refresh can still be retried. Otherwise a provider can stay unavailable until a restart.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue [#34354] requires provider re-checks to find CLIs added to the login-shell PATH without a server restart. ProviderRegistry now re-reads the login-shell PATH during refresh and refreshInstance. When PATH gains entries, it rebuilds enabled missing non-ACP instances, while retaining installed instances. The test verifies PATH change detection, rebuilding all missing instances, excluding installed instances, and avoiding a rebuild when PATH is unchanged. The change also removes the periodic health-check login-shell probe, which addresses the reported repeated background probing.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed production files support issue [#34354]. rereadLoginShellPath provides the refresh-time PATH read. The registry mutator rebuilds live missing instances so their drivers receive the new environment. The shared shell service and registry tests support this behavior. No unrelated product change is demonstrated.

Use the rebuilt instance for fresh workspace scans.
If refreshInstance rebuilds a missing instance, runScan still scans the retired instance. The identity check discards its result, and the request returns without a new workspace snapshot.
Resolve and claim the current instance after refresh. Also refresh the workspace snapshot baseline, because rebuilding can clear the previous snapshot.

Bound the login-shell stdout capture.
If a shell profile prints continuously or emits a large dump, this handler keeps appending output until the probe ends. Concurrent provider refreshes can accumulate enough output to exhaust server memory. Stop the probe and return no value after a fixed output limit.

[major] apps/server/src/provider/ProviderRegistry.ts:634: Not fixed: the reported five-minute health-check scenario still fails. PATH recovery runs only through explicit registry refreshes. The periodic loop in packages/provider-core/src/server/managedProvider.ts:314-319 calls applySnapshotBase directly, which executes the existing driver's checkProvider without rereading the shell or rebuilding. ClaudeDriver captures its environment at creation (line 114) and keeps passing that copy to health checks (line 245). Route periodic missing-provider recovery through the same PATH reread/rebuild mechanism.
Fails with: On the reporter's supported macOS background-service setup, start with ~/.local/bin absent from PATH, then install Claude there and add that directory to ~/.zshrc. Keep provider-status background demand active and wait through five-minute health checks without explicitly refreshing. Claude remains missing indefinitely. A focused diagnostic using the real managed-provider timer and TestClock advanced through the next five-minute probe: two checks executed, zero LoginShellEnvironment reads occurred, and the captured PATH remained unchanged.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Reconcile __MISE_DIFF with the refreshed PATH.
If the login shell unsets __MISE_DIFF and adds a PATH entry, this branch retains the old diff while replacing PATH. A stale diff can cause a mise x wrapper to loop when it reconstructs PATH. Reconcile the PATH entries and diff together when the shell no longer supplies the variable. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep the PATH change pending until rebuilding completes.
If refreshInstance is interrupted while the rebuild waits for the registry semaphore, a missing instance can retain its old PATH. A later refresh sees the merged PATH and skips the rebuild. For example, a Codex instance with environment overrides can remain unavailable until a rebuild or restart.
Coordinate the PATH update and rebuild so an interrupted refresh can be retried.
