Two follow-ups to the "hold NeedsLogin during the SSO browser wait" change.
Both target the visible state churn the tray showed during the auto-login
handoff (Connect / profile-switch lands on NeedsLogin -> the UI's startLogin
kicks off the SSO flow) and the broken recovery after the user dismisses the
browser-login popup with the window's X.
Background
----------
When a connect attempt lands on NeedsLogin, the UI's startLogin() drives the
SSO flow: Connection.Login() -> (NeedsSSOLogin) open the browser-login popup
-> Connection.WaitSSOLogin() blocks until the browser leg completes. The tray
and the React status page both paint the raw daemon status, so any transient
state the daemon publishes during this handoff is visible as a flicker.
Previously the handoff churned the daemon status through
NeedsLogin -> Idle -> Connecting -> NeedsLogin
which read as a flicker on the tray icon and the status dot. Two distinct
sources produced the two intermediate states:
* Idle came from the UI's defensive cli.Down() at the top of
Connection.Login (services/connection.go): it tore the engine
down before every login to dislodge a possibly-parked
WaitSSOLogin, emitting a StatusIdle on the way.
* Connecting came from server.go Login() unconditionally setting
StatusConnecting before deciding whether the request is an
SSO flow (which immediately returns NeedsLogin) or a
setup-key flow (which actually dials Management).
Changes
-------
1. server.go Login(): only set StatusConnecting on the setup-key path, where
we are about to dial Management with the key and the Connecting paint is
meaningful. The SSO path returns NeedsLogin and parks on the browser leg,
so it no longer flashes Connecting first. Removes the Connecting blip.
2. services/connection.go Login(): drop the pre-Login cli.Down(). The daemon
already dislodges a pending WaitSSOLogin at Login entry (actCancel), and an
abandoned browser leg is now torn down by cancelling the WaitSSOLogin RPC
(see 3/4). Removing the Down removes the Idle blip on every login.
3. MainConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx startLogin(): on cancel (the browser-login
popup's Cancel button or its window X, both routed through
EventBrowserLoginCancel), cancel the in-flight WaitSSOLogin gRPC call via
waitPromise.cancel() instead of issuing a heavy Connection.Down(). The
daemon ties the wait to this call's context, so cancelling the call ends
the wait cleanly with no engine teardown and no Idle paint.
4. server.go WaitSSOLogin(): when the wait unblocks with context.Canceled and
the cancellation came from our caller (callerCtx.Err() != nil — the client
cancelled the RPC or went away), clear the cached oauthAuthFlow so a fresh
Login starts a new device code instead of reusing the abandoned one. The
entry NeedsLogin stays in place, so a reattaching client still shows the
login affordance. An internal abort (actCancel fired by a newer
Login/WaitSSOLogin while our callerCtx is still live) is left untouched so
the new owner's flow is not clobbered.
Effect
------
The auto-login handoff now goes Connected -> Connecting -> NeedsLogin and
holds, with no Idle/Connecting flicker in between. Dismissing the browser-login
popup with X now recovers the same way as the Cancel button: the WaitSSOLogin
RPC is cancelled, the stale OAuth flow is cleared, and the next connect opens a
fresh browser-login window instead of getting stuck.
The daemon returns gRPC errors whose message is a wrapped mgm + JWT
stack (e.g. "invalid jwt token, err: token could not be parsed: ...").
Showing that in a native dialog is unreadable. Connection now maps the
substrings it recognises to a ClientError{code, short, long} so the UI
can render a localised summary plus a Details: block carrying the raw
daemon text. formatErrorMessage on the TS side reads the structured
payload from Wails' Error.cause (or the JSON-stringified Error.message)
and falls back to plain Error.message for callers not yet migrated.
Also bumps Wails to v3.0.0-alpha.95.
The UI never needs to block on Up — status updates flow via the
SubscribeStatus stream. Hardcode Async:true in Connection.Up and remove
the Async field from UpParams so frontend callers are unaffected.
The daemon's Up RPC previously always blocked in waitForUp (up to 50s)
until the engine connected. The UI does not need this — status updates
already flow through the SubscribeStatus stream.
Add bool async = 4 to UpRequest. When true the daemon starts
connectWithRetryRuns and returns immediately; the CLI path (async=false,
the default) is unchanged.
ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive now sets Async:true so all three RPCs
(Status, Switch, Down, Up) return quickly. The background goroutine and
its associated race condition are removed entirely.
Removes the legacy fyne-based client/ui implementation and renames the
Wails replacement (client/ui-wails) to take its place at client/ui. Go
imports, frontend bindings, CI workflows, goreleaser configs and the
windows .syso icon path are updated to follow the rename.
