Both lines changed the same two settings-write paths in App.tsx:
- #2089 (v2/main) rewrote the pagination toggle and the settings-draft
flush around `useLastPersistedSettings`, so each write announces itself
with `begin` and confirms with `landed`/`failed`.
- #1914 (this branch) made a failed post-write list reload reject with
`ServerListReloadError` — the PUT landed, only reading the list back
failed.
Resolved by treating a `ServerListReloadError` as a *landed* write in the
new model rather than a failed one: both paths now settle it exactly as
the success path does (so it becomes the rollback baseline and re-applies
itself when settled) and only the toast says the reload failed. Rolling
it back would put the UI, the live client and the modal's seed on a value
disk no longer holds — the very contradiction #2089 exists to prevent.
The two suites' new tests were interleaved by the conflict and are both
kept, plus one covering the combination: a modal save whose reload failed
is recorded as the landed write instead of rolled back.

Review round 10 on #2091. Connecting is where the whole connection is
configured, and it read `server.settings` straight off the list entry —
so every connect undid what the tracker exists to preserve. A save that
landed while list reads were failing, including one made from the
settings modal for a server that was not connected at the time, was
silently reverted by the next connect: headers, roots, timeouts, the
Network log size, all rebuilt from the frozen entry.
`setupClientForServer` now resolves through `lastPersistedSettings`,
which covers every construction path (connect, reconnect, OAuth resume)
since they all pass through it.
The round-9 test also claimed to cover the log size and did not: it
asserted the settings object and the roots only, so a regression that
stopped restoring `maxFetchRequests` would have passed. It now asserts
the tracked fetch-log instance on both sides of the rejection.

Review round 9 on #2091, all three findings.
Every live-apply now goes through one `applyLiveServerSettings`: the
settings object, the Network log size, and the roots diff together. A
close with a pending debounce applies the draft to all three, so
reconciling only `setServerSettings` when that save rejected left the
server advertising roots that were never persisted and the log sized for
them.
The "this server's draft is unpersisted" flag moves from a single id in
`App.tsx` into the tracker, which already orders writes by issue and
keeps state per server. One id could be overwritten by a failure for a
different server, or cleared by a stale success, either of which made a
close apply a rejected draft.
And when nothing has ever landed for a server, close falls back to the
empty settings the toggle rollback uses rather than to the draft — the
old fallback re-applied the very values that had just failed.

Review round 8 on #2091, both findings — the two remaining places the
stale `servers` entry and the unpersisted draft still leaked.
The modal draft was seeded straight from `servers`, and the draft is the
input to the *next* write: after a write landed whose list reload failed,
opening the modal and saving any unrelated field sent the superseded
value back to disk. It now seeds through the tracker, which falls back to
the entry when nothing has landed, so the ordinary case is unchanged.
`useSettingsDraft` also keeps the draft when a save rejects, and closing
the modal unconditionally pushed that draft into the live client — so the
client returned to the value that had just failed to reach disk, undoing
the rollback that reported the failure. The server whose last modal save
rejected is now remembered, and close applies what landed for it instead
(the roots diff and the fetch-log resize included). The flag clears on
the next save for that server that lands, and on the close that acts on
it.

Review round 7 on #2091, both findings.
Every settings continuation pushed through the `inspectorClient` it
closed over, and `onToggleConnection` rebuilds the client on each
(re)connect — so a write outliving a reconnect passed the server-id
guard and then wrote to a destroyed instance, while the replacement,
built from the stale list entry, kept the value the write replaced. The
live client is now mirrored in a ref alongside the active server id, and
all three continuations apply through it.
The modal save's failure path also stopped at taking itself out of
flight. A write that landed while it was pending had been told it was
not settled and applied nothing, so with the save failing there was
nothing left to apply the value that is actually on disk. It now
resolves and re-applies the baseline, the same as the toggle's failure
path.

Copilot's suppressed round-3 comment is right. The attempt-counted loop read
the output and then slept, so nothing ever observed the last interval: an
announcement arriving at 29.9s of a 30s budget was reported as a timeout, and
a spawn error or early exit landing in that window was misattributed the same
way. Inherited from the original smoke, but wrong either way.
Replace it with a deadline loop that re-reads state after every wait, the last
one included, and clamp the final wait to the deadline so the budget is a real
bound rather than one poll longer.
The regression test sets pollMs === timeoutMs, which makes the distinction
deterministic rather than a race: the attempt-counted loop gets exactly one
check, at t≈0 before the child has finished starting, then throws; the deadline
loop re-reads after the wait and sees the announcement. The child announces
immediately, ~2s inside the window, so a loaded runner can't flip it. Verified
both directions — the test fails against the old loop and passes against the
new one — and `npm run test:scripts` was repeated to confirm it is stable under
the full 116-test parallel run (an earlier margin-based version of this test
was not).

Review round 6 on #2091. The modal writer recorded its write but threw
away the settled result, so the mixed-writer overlap was still broken:
the modal's flush is in flight with `paginatedLists: true` when the
sidebar toggle fails and rolls back to the stale entry's `false`, then
the save lands. It is the settled state, but nothing re-applied it — so
with the list reload also failing, disk held `true` while the override
and the live client sat on `false`.
Both writers now share the reconciliation as well as the record: a
settled write for the still-active server re-applies its value to the
override and the live client.

The one genuinely new finding from Copilot round 9; the other four were
re-reports of rounds 7 and 8 against an earlier state of the files, verified
already fixed in e956d498 / edddc6c9.
This message has now been wrong in both directions. Round 5 replaced "it
expires on its own after 10s" — false whenever the same `rmdir` that blocked
us also blocks stale takeover, which reclaims through that identical call —
with "remove it by hand". That is false the other way: `proper-lockfile`
forwards whatever the filesystem returned, so a transient failure can clear,
another Inspector can legitimately acquire the path afterwards, and an
operator following the advice then deletes a *live* holder's lock. Same class
of hazard as the `ERELEASED` case in round 7: guidance that destroys the
exclusion of a process that did nothing wrong.
Nothing here can tell a permanent refusal from a passing one, so it no longer
claims to. It reports what happened, says the lock may or may not clear and
why, and states the two conditions the operator can check for themselves —
saves still failing, and no other Inspector running — rather than asserting
an outcome this code does not know.
Behavioural only in what it tells a human; the locking path is unchanged.
The test asserts both conditions are present and that the expiry promise is
absent, so neither blanket version can come back.

Two review findings from round 2, both correct.
1. The regression suite killed its child only after the assertions. If
`assert.rejects` or either assertion failed, execution never reached the
kill, leaving a 60-second child attached to the runner — a suite guarding a
process leak would leak one itself, precisely on the run where the
regression had come back. Teardown is now registered from `onSpawn` via
`t.after`, so it runs on every path out of every case. That is the helper's
own ownership rule applied to the tests; killing an already-exited child is
a no-op, so the early-exit cases pay nothing for it.
2. Document the new shared helper, per the maintenance rules. AGENTS.md's
scripts/lib tree entry now carries announced-child.mjs and what its contract
buys, and the smoke:web:app paragraph records why the spawn/readiness step
moved out of the smoke (same reason teardownWebServer left prod-web-server's
stop()). README's test:scripts row names the new suite alongside
resolve-node-bin's.
Not mirrored into .github/copilot-instructions.md: that file is a distillation
of the rules a reviewer cites against a diff, and deliberately excludes the
project-structure tree and tooling inventory.

Review round 5 on #2091, both findings.
The other overlap order was still wrong. Write 1 (`true`) is in flight
when write 2 (`false`) fails, so the rollback resolves to the stale
entry's `false` — correct at that instant, nothing had landed. Write 1
then lands `true` and only touched refs, so if its own list reload had
failed too, no render would ever correct the UI or the live client while
disk held `true`.
Writes now report both outcomes: `landed` returns whether this write is
the settled state for its server — recorded, with nothing later still in
flight — and `failed` takes a write out of flight so an earlier one that
lands afterwards settles. The toggle re-applies the settled value to the
override and the client, gated on its server still being active.
Serializing per server was the alternative and was not taken: it makes
the modal's debounced saves queue behind each other and changes the write
path to fix a UI-reconciliation concern, and it still could not order two
requests already in flight.
The override reset also moves from a `useEffect` to `useValueChange`,
which is what this repo requires for resetting state from render data —
the entry is referentially stable between reads, and keying on it alone
subsumes the persisted boolean and the server id.

Copilot review round 8 — two findings, both upheld. The first is a gap in
round 7's own fix.
**The snapshot was unprotected between two awaits.** Returning from
`withSecretFileLock(filePath, ...)` releases the main lock *before*
`handOffStagedSecrets` acquired the snapshot's, so a second startup could
take the main lock in that window, see the staged file unlocked, and adopt
and re-claim it — leaving this process reading a path that no longer exists.
Narrower than the race round 7 closed, but the same one.
`openSecretFileLock` is now split out of `withSecretFileLock`: it takes the
lock and returns its release, so a caller can hold one *across* another's
release. The claim acquires the snapshot's lock before returning — inside the
main lock — and the hand-off then runs outside the main lock, still holding
it. `withSecretFileLock` is a thin wrapper over the same function, so which
failures refuse and which degrade is decided in one place and the two entry
points cannot drift.
Locking the snapshot degrades rather than refusing (`null` → hand off
anyway): the exposure is one uniquely-named snapshot, which is a better trade
than refusing to migrate at all on a box that cannot lock.
**Both migration scans matched the lock directories themselves.**
`secrets.json.migrating-<pid>-<uuid>.lock` passes the plain prefix test, and
treating it as a snapshot is self-sustaining damage: the liveness probe asks
about a nonexistent `<name>.lock.lock` and so answers "not held", recovery
tries to hard-link a *directory* onto the secrets path, fails, and prints the
orphan warning. Because a liveness *check* never clears a stale lock
directory — only a would-be acquirer does — that false migration repeats on
every startup forever, including long after the real snapshot was recovered.
`isSnapshotName` now excludes `.lock` for both `anythingToMigrate` and
`recoverOrphanedSnapshots`.
New test verified by mutation.

Copilot's review is right that the fix was unproven: smoke:web:app's happy path
always receives the announcement, so `npm run ci` never exercised a child that
stays alive *through* the readiness timeout — exactly the case that orphaned a
live server holding its port. A regression there would be silent in CI and
would surface only as a stray process on a later run.
Extract the spawn/readiness ownership into scripts/lib/announced-child.mjs
(the same move prod-web-server.mjs made for teardownWebServer, and for the same
reason), and add scripts/lib/announced-child.test.mjs under `test:scripts`.
The tests drive real `node -e` children rather than spies, so the assertion is
that a real process is reachable and killable, not that a mock was called: the
timeout case asserts the child was published before the wait, is still alive
when the throw lands, and is actually stopped by kill. The early-exit and
spawn-failure paths are covered alongside it, plus the both-streams scan.
smoke-web-app.mjs keeps its behavior — startMcpServer() now delegates the
spawn and publishes the child via `onSpawn`.

Review round 4 on #2091, three findings.
A rollback sets the override to a concrete value rather than clearing
it, so the effect that drops it could not key on the persisted boolean
alone: if a later read reported the value the override replaced — an
edit made outside the Inspector overtaking the write — neither that
boolean nor the server id changed and the UI stayed stuck on the
override. It now keys on the active `servers` entry too, which a
successful read always rebuilds.
The override is also a single app-wide boolean and the live client
belongs to whichever server is connected now, so a rejection arriving
after the user switched servers rendered one server's value on another.
The UI rollback and the client push are now applied only while the
failing write's server is still active; the toast is not gated.
The settings-modal writer had no coverage: `useSettingsDraft` is mocked
for `App.test.tsx`, so its `onPersist` never ran and dropping
`begin`/`landed` there would have gone unnoticed. A test now invokes the
callback the App handed the hook, lands a save, and asserts a failed
toggle rolls back to the modal's value.
Both new tests fail without their fix.

1. clients/web/.npmignore's explanatory comment still said the root "files"
allowlist restricts publishing to build/ and dist/ and that everything else
under clients/web "stays out regardless". #1934 added clients/web/static to
that allowlist, so the claim was false — in a file that exists precisely
because a packaging contract was misread once. Name static/ and say why it
ships (read from disk at runtime by sandbox-controller.ts, at a path
relative to the runner dir).
2. Replace the four unjustified `as unknown as Response` doubles in
useServers.test.tsx with real Responses over real ReadableStreams: a
null-body Response for the `!res.body` guard, a stream whose pull throws for
the reader-rejects case, and pull-driven streams for the multi-frame and
priming-comment cases (pull runs once per read, so the counting and the
blocking second read behave exactly as the hand-rolled reader doubles did).
The doubles are now structurally type-checked against the Response API.
3. scripts/smoke-web-app.mjs orphaned the MCP test server on a readiness
timeout: startMcpServer() returned the child only once the announcement
line matched, so a child that was alive but never announced left `mcpServer`
unassigned, shutdown() could not stop it, and process.exit(1) left it
holding its port. Publish the child to `mcpServer` the moment it is spawned,
so every throw path is covered by teardown.

Copilot review round 7 — two findings, both upheld.
**An in-progress migration snapshot could be adopted by another startup.**
The fast path counts every `*.migrating-*` as work and
`recoverOrphanedSnapshots` adopts them — including one whose owner is still
reading it. It link/unlinks the snapshot back to the live path and re-claims
it under a new name, the owner's hand-off then fails `ENOENT`, and if the
adopting process exits before copying, that healthy session starts with none
of those secrets, recoverable only on some later run.
Fixed the second way the reviewer suggested, not the first. Holding the main
lock across the hand-off also closes it and was tried — it broke "claims the
file atomically, so a later write is not deleted", because it blocks every
ordinary writer for the whole migration and fails their save past the retry
budget. That is a worse regression than the race, since #1950 guarantees a
write completing after the claim survives. The existing test caught it.
So the hand-off takes a lock on the **snapshot** instead, and
`recoverOrphanedSnapshots` skips an orphan whose lock is held. Liveness comes
from the lock rather than from the pid already in the filename: a pid both
outlives its process and recurs — pid 1 on every container start, which
#1950 documents as the reason the name carries a nonce — whereas a lock
expires by itself if its owner dies, so a genuinely abandoned snapshot
becomes adoptable with nothing to clean up. `isFileLockHeld` answers `false`
when it cannot tell, since the alternative to a wrong `false` is never
recovering an abandoned file.
**A compromised lock arrives as `ERELEASED`, and we told the operator to
delete the lock.** `setLockAsCompromised` marks the lock released and drops
its registry entry *before* calling `onCompromised`, so `release()` answers
`ERELEASED` without touching the filesystem — and the directory at that path
is by then the **winner's live lock**. "Remove it by hand" would destroy the
exclusion of a process that did nothing wrong. Handled separately and
silently; `onCompromised` has already reported what happened. A conditional
rather than an early return, since a `return` inside `finally` discards
whatever the body was returning or throwing.
Both new tests verified by mutation.

Review round 3 on #2091. The baseline was still captured when the write
went out, so overlapping toggles reproduced the original bug through the
new machinery: toggle 1 PUTs `true` while its reload is pending, toggle 2
reads the baseline and sees `false`, toggle 1 lands `true`, toggle 2
fails — and its catch pushed the `false` it had closed over, contradicting
both disk and the hook.
`resolve` now reads the record and the list live and takes no fallback,
returning `undefined` when neither has anything to say, so calling it in
the failure handler answers for the state at failure time. Both the
value being written and the rollback go through it, each at the moment
it is needed. The hook says explicitly not to hoist the result.
The regression test drives the exact order — issue 1, issue 2, land 1,
fail 2 — with deferred promises rather than timing, and fails on the
issue-time capture.

Review round 2 on #2091. Recording on completion made the *last to
finish* the winner, and `updateServerSettings` waits for a list read
after its PUT — so an older write with a slow read finishes last and
would overwrite the record with a value a newer write had already
replaced on disk. Both writers can overlap: two quick toggles, or the
settings modal's debounced flush.
A write is now announced with `begin` when it is issued and confirmed
with `landed` when it completes, and a confirmation is dropped if a
later-issued write for that server has already confirmed. The high-water
mark is kept apart from the record so a straggler cannot resurrect a
record a fresh list read dropped.
Issue order is a proxy for disk order rather than a proof of it — HTTP
promises nothing about two in-flight PUTs — but it is the best signal on
this side until the servers route returns a revision to order by. Noted
on the hook alongside the other consequence of that gap.

Copilot review round 6 — five findings (two inline, three suppressed), all
valid.
**A stale lock that cannot be cleared caused unlocked writes.** `acquireLock`
does not only *create* directories: on finding a stale one it removes it and
retries, and that removal can fail — `ENOTEMPTY` for a lock with anything
inside it, `EACCES`/`EROFS` for one we may not touch. Those surface as
ordinary non-`ELOCKED` errors, which the probe read as "locks do not work
here" and degraded on. So every Inspector on the box quietly bypassed the
*same* stuck lock and raced its writes — while the release-failure message
was telling the operator saves would keep failing until they cleared it.
`isStuckOrHeld` now discriminates on **whether the lock directory exists**
rather than on an errno taxonomy: if it is there, something holds it and we
refuse; if it is not, we genuinely could not create one and degrading is the
documented trade (#1848, #1905). Reading the state the decision is about
avoids enumerating error codes per platform — and an enumeration is exactly
what let `ENOTEMPTY` through.
**Identity was captured after the acquire promise settled.** That span
includes the library's own `utimes`/`stat` probe, so a waiter replacing our
directory inside it would have us record *the winner's* identity as our own,
after which the removal guard would accept and delete their lock. It is now
recorded in the `mkdir` callback — the moment the directory becomes ours, and
synchronous with respect to this process, so there is no window.
**The expiry advice was still wrong for `EACCES`/`EPERM`/`EROFS`.** Since the
guard `stat`s before removing, everything reaching the release catch is an
`rmdir` that was refused — and stale takeover reclaims through that same
`rmdir`. The `ENOENT` arm was unreachable for the same reason, so the branch
was dead code: removed, and the advice is now unconditional.
**`proper-lockfile` was missing from `NODE_ONLY_OPTIMIZE_DEPS_EXCLUDE`.** A
fourth externalization surface — the tsup lists configure the production
bundles, not `vite dev`, whose dep scanner would otherwise walk its
CJS/`graceful-fs`/`signal-exit` graph. Added, and `vite-base-config.test.ts`
now asserts it along with `chokidar` and `@napi-rs/keyring`, which were also
absent from that assertion.
**A test was named for something it did not exercise.** "does not treat an
unlistable directory as an empty one" was driving `ENOTDIR`, which is
deliberately treated *as* the fresh-install case, so the actual new behaviour
was untested. Split in two: one for `ENOTDIR`, and a real `EACCES` one using
a `--x` directory — `readdir` denied, a known name still reachable, which is
the asymmetry that makes "unlistable" different from "empty". Driven with a
real mode rather than a stub, since `vi.spyOn` cannot redefine an ESM
namespace export; skipped as root and on Windows, where the mode would not
bite and the test would assert nothing.
Both new tests verified by mutation.

Review round 1 on #2091. A single record slot let a save on one server
discard the baseline a later failed write on another still needed — the
settings modal opens for any server, connected or not, so that sequence
reproduces #2089 through the very mechanism meant to prevent it. Records
are now kept per server id.
The record also paired with the `servers` entry captured when the write
was *issued*, so a list read landing while the write was in flight was
mistaken for one that happened after it and discarded a live record. It
now pairs with the entry as of completion, read through a ref (mirrored
in an effect — writing a ref during render is a `react-hooks/refs`
error). The residual — a read whose response predates the write but
arrives after it — needs a revision or ETag `useServers` does not
expose, and is documented on the hook.

Copilot review round 5. Both comments upheld; the first is a real hole in
round 4's own fix.
**The ownership guard was in the wrong place, and overclaimed.**
Round 4 checked ownership and then called `release()`. Two problems:
- Check-then-act. The `stat` and the `rmdir` were separate async steps, so a
waiter could replace the directory in between and we deleted the winner's
fresh lock anyway — the very thing the check was added to prevent.
- Skipping `release()` on a mismatch left proper-lockfile's record registered
in its `locks` map, and its `signal-exit` handler `rmdirSync`s every
registered lock with **no ownership check of its own**. An exit during that
window deleted the winner too.
The guard now lives in `options.fs`, which is the single seam *both* removal
paths route through — `removeLock` on release, and the exit handler. It
refuses to remove a directory whose inode and birth time are not the ones
recorded at acquire, and reports the refusal as success so the library's
bookkeeping forgets the lock either way (leaving it registered is what hands
the exit handler a record pointing at the winner's directory).
The check is a `statSync` immediately followed by an `rmdirSync`, with no
`await` between them, so nothing in this process can interleave. **It still
does not close the race** — it is check-then-act across processes, which needs
the compare-and-swap Node does not expose — and saying it "closes the
destructive half outright" was wrong. file-lock.ts, README.md,
specification/v2_servers_file.md and AGENTS.md now all say it narrows the
window rather than closing it. AGENTS.md carries the negative instruction
alongside round 4's, since this is the third round spent on an overclaim.
**"It expires on its own after 10s" is false for the ENOTEMPTY case** the new
test exercises. Stale takeover reclaims through the same `rmdir`, which also
cannot remove a non-empty directory — so nothing clears it, and every later
save fails ELOCKED against it. `releaseAdvice` now branches: by-hand removal
for ENOTEMPTY, expiry for everything else.
Tests: a real child process demonstrates the exit handler removing a
replacement lock (with an **empty** directory — a non-empty one makes
`rmdirSync` fail ENOTEMPTY, which is how the first draft of this test passed
for the wrong reason). The release-failure test now asserts the message says
"by hand" and does not promise expiry. The shim's `rmdirSync` arm carries a
justified `v8 ignore`: it is reachable only from a real process exit, and its
logic is `removeIfMine`, covered through the async arm.

The pagination toggle read its rollback baseline off the `servers` entry,
which only advances on a successful `GET /api/servers`. Once a list read
fails that entry describes disk as it was before every write made since,
so the #1721 rollback reverted to a value nothing on disk holds — and
clearing the optimistic override fell back to the same stale entry, so
the UI was wrong from both directions.
Remember the last settings write known to have landed (a new gated hook,
`useLastPersistedSettings`) and roll back to that instead, keyed to the
`servers` entry it was derived from so a fresh list read supersedes it.
Both settings writers — the toggle and the settings modal's debounced
persist — feed the one record.

Copilot review round 4 — four comments, all the same finding against the four
files carrying the claim, and it was more than a wording problem.
The comment said a holder whose lock was replaced is told. Checked against
proper-lockfile@4.1.2, that is false in the case that actually happens:
- `updateLock` compares mtime only on its refresh tick — `stale / 2`, so 5s
here — while an ordinary mutation is a read, an scrypt derivation and an
atomic write, comfortably under a second. The tick never runs, so nothing
fires.
- `release` → `unlock` → `removeLock` is an unconditional `rmdir` with **no
ownership check**. So the compromised holder goes on to delete the
*winner's* lock on the way out, ending the winner's exclusion too: one
compromised writer silently becomes two unprotected ones.
The second half is a correctness bug, not a documentation defect, and it is
fixable here even though the takeover race itself is not.
`withSecretFileLock` now records the lock directory's inode and birth time at
acquire and re-checks them before releasing. On a mismatch it **declines to
release** — leaving the new holder's lock alone costs nothing, ours is
already gone — and warns.
Inode and birth time rather than mtime, deliberately: both survive the
library's own `utimes` refresh, so a lock held past one tick is not accused of
being compromised, and both change on a delete-and-recreate, which is exactly
the event to detect. Where a filesystem reports neither, the two reads agree
and the check concludes "ours", degrading to the library's unaided behaviour
rather than to a false alarm. An unreadable baseline at acquire likewise
answers "ours" — with nothing to compare against, accusing a healthy lock
would be worse than releasing it.
Detection is therefore **best-effort**, and file-lock.ts, README.md,
specification/v2_servers_file.md and AGENTS.md now all say so rather than
promising the loser is told. AGENTS.md carries the negative instruction too,
since this is the second round spent on the same overclaim.
Tests: "does not delete the winner's lock after being taken over" replaces the
lock inside the body and asserts the replacement survives with the *same*
inode and birth time — it was left alone, not deleted and recreated. It waits
for nothing, being the fast case the library's tick misses. Verified by
mutation: forcing `stillOurs` to always answer true fails it. A second test
covers a release that fails while the lock genuinely *is* ours (a stray file
makes `rmdir` fail ENOTEMPTY), so the ownership check cannot swallow a real
release failure.

`lint` failed only on errors, so a warn-level rule was a channel nothing
consumed. `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` reported two stale-closure
`useCallback` deps in App.tsx on every run, `npm run ci` passed anyway,
and the defect was caught only by a review round on #2076.
Add `--max-warnings 0` to all six lint scopes — each of
clients/{web,cli,tui,launcher}'s `eslint .`, plus the root's `lint:core`
and `lint:shared` — so a warning fails `lint`, and therefore `validate`
and `ci`. All six were already warning-free, so no suppressions, rule
downgrades, or ignore-list widening were needed.
Also promote `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` to `error` in both React
scopes (web, tui). The flag makes severity irrelevant to the gate; it
does not make it read correctly in an editor.

Copilot review round 3.
- **`absorbFileSecretsIntoKeyring` must never throw, and round 2 broke that.**
Making `withSecretFileLock` reject on a held lock was right for `set` — a
user is waiting on that value — and wrong here: this is awaited directly by
both `resolveSecretStore` branches, so a stuck writer elsewhere on the box
would have failed store resolution and with it the whole session. The lock
failure is now caught, warned, and the file left for the next run. Covered
by a test that holds the lock from another handle and asserts the hand-off
resolves, the file survives, and the lock-specific warning is emitted (it
asserts that message rather than the shared "left in place" tail, which the
pre-existing claim-failure path also prints and would have let it pass
without the lock ever being reached).
- **The refusal message overstated how long it waited.** `retries *
maxTimeout` reads 20s for a schedule that sums to 15.26s — the early
attempts are the exponential ramp, not the cap. Replaced with
`RETRY_BUDGET_MS`, computed from the schedule rather than written down, so
it cannot drift from the thing it describes. `retry` applies no jitter by
default, so it is exact rather than an estimate.
- **The PR description still described the pre-round-2 design** — the
single-winner claim and the ~3s backoff. Rewritten to match the code.
Coverage: the round-3 changes cost `secret-store-selection.ts` two branches
and it fell to 89.62%. Recovered honestly rather than by annotation — the
`ENOTDIR` arm of `anythingToMigrate` now has a real test (a path whose parent
is a file, the other shape of "nothing there"), and the new catch types its
parameter `Error` instead of re-narrowing, since `withSecretFileLock` rejects
only with the `SecretStoreUnavailableError` it constructs one call away.

Copilot review r4. The r3 title branch was the one modified behavior with
no test of its own — the existing ServerListReloadError cases cover the
pagination, add, and rename paths only, so a regression back to "Failed to
save settings" would have gone green.
`useSettingsDraft` is mocked in this suite, so the test invokes the
`onError` App handed it and asserts both titles: the reload-failure one,
and that a genuine write failure still reads as a failure. Forcing the
branch off fails it.

Copilot review r3. Three findings, all the same root: a
ServerListReloadError rejects after the write succeeded, so any consumer
still reading "rejection" as "the write failed" now says something false.
- `useImportClientConfig.applyEntry` gave a successfully imported server a
red "Failed" badge. It now reports the intended status and puts the
reload message in `detail`, which renders in red beneath it either way —
so the failure stays visible without claiming the row wasn't created.
- The settings-draft toast said "Failed to save settings". It now branches
its title; this toast is the only signal there, since the modal has
usually closed by the time a flush rejects.
- An edit modal left open by a failed reload kept targeting the old id.
When the row landed under the new one, `configModalTarget` went
undefined and ServerConfigModal's own reset blanked the open form and
cleared the error it was showing. An edit/clone modal whose target has
left the list now closes — adjusted during render via `useValueChange`,
so no frame paints the blanked form. That also covers the ordinary case
of an external mcp.json edit removing the server being edited.
The reachability here is not remote: the write is what triggers the
backend's change broadcast, so the SSE-driven refresh that lands the
renamed row is the likely next event.
Also adds the regression test r3 asked for on the add path — the
highlight batch has to be marked from the catch for the same reason the
rename is. Both new App tests and the import one fail without their fix.

Copilot review round 2, both comments upheld.
**ELOCKED must not degrade.** Exhausting the retries on a held lock means the
lock is *working* and something else demonstrably holds it — so running the
mutation anyway entered the exact interleaving the lock exists to prevent,
and entered it knowing a concurrent writer was there. `set` now fails
instead. Two supporting changes:
- The retry budget went from ~3.3s to ~15s so it outlasts the 10s stale
window. Refusing is only defensible because a *crashed* holder resolves by
takeover first; with the shorter budget, one Inspector killed mid-save
would have failed every later save on the box until someone deleted the
lock by hand. Pinned by a new test that stages a dead holder's lock
directly (mkdir + backdated mtime) and asserts the save succeeds.
- Acquire is now probe-then-wait. `proper-lockfile` drives its whole acquire
through `retry`, which re-attempts on *any* error — so with a 20-retry
budget a read-only `$HOME` would have spent the full 15s re-issuing an
identical failing `mkdir` on every save before degrading. One retry-less
probe separates "held" (worth waiting out) from "unavailable" (not).
**The comment overclaimed what proper-lockfile provides, and the reviewer was
right about the mechanism.** Verified against lib/lockfile.js@4.1.2: on
EEXIST it stats, and if stale it rmdirs and re-mkdirs *without* checking the
directory it removed is the one it found stale — so a slow waiter can still
delete a fast waiter's fresh lock and both proceed. That is the same race the
hand-rolled version could not close, and it is not closable without
renameat2(RENAME_EXCHANGE).
What the library actually adds is that the loser is *detected*: its refresh
tick compares the lock's mtime against the value recorded at acquire, so a
compromised holder is told rather than proceeding silently. And what is
genuinely exclusive is the case that matters — mkdir is atomic and a live
holder refreshes its mtime, so its lock never goes stale and two running
Inspectors are serialized. The residual window opens only after a holder dies
without releasing, and the optimistic verify still covers it.
file-lock.ts, README.md, specification/v2_servers_file.md and AGENTS.md all
carried the overclaim; all four now state the narrower, true version.
Also fixes a test that was quietly asserting the opposite of its name: its
holder used stale: 60_000 while the waiter used 10_000, and staleness is
judged by the *waiter's* threshold — so the holder was declared stale after
10s and the save succeeded by takeover.
Not done: a two-process stale-takeover race test. It would be testing the
library rather than this code, and is inherently nondeterministic; the honest
response to that finding was to stop claiming the race is closed.

Copilot review r2.
`onConfigSubmit` moved `activeServerId` to the renamed id only after
`updateServer` resolved. Once a failed list reload rejects, the rename is
still on disk — so the active id stayed on the old one and the next
successful refresh left it pointing at a row that no longer exists. Apply
the rename from the catch when the rejection is a `ServerListReloadError`,
then rethrow so the modal still shows the error. `addServerHighlighted`
gets the same treatment: the row is on disk, so it belongs in the
highlight batch the next successful refresh renders.
`activeServerId` is not rendered anywhere, so the test reads it back
through the one handler that hands it to a spy — the pagination toggle's
`updateServerSettings(activeServerId, …)` — after letting the renamed row
land as a later refresh would. It fails without the catch-side call. The
new describe installs its own `useServers` return value and restores the
previous implementation afterwards, since earlier describes' overrides
outlive them (which is why the first draft's spy was never called).
Also replaced the `as unknown as` in the new test with a single
`EventTarget & {…}` intersection, per the TypeScript rules. The other 19
in this file are the same pattern and are left for a separate sweep.
The third comment — that the pagination toggle's rollback baseline goes
stale after a failed list read — is a real defect but pre-existing and
unchanged by this PR; the end state is identical before and after it.
Filed as #2089 rather than widening this fix.

- Create the storage directory before locking. `writeStoreFile` creates it,
but from inside the locked section — so on a fresh install, where
`~/.mcp-inspector` does not exist, proper-lockfile failed ENOENT and every
*first* save degraded to an unlocked write with a warning. That is the save
most likely to be racing another (two Inspectors started together both
reach it), so the lock was absent from precisely the interleaving it exists
to close.
- `anythingToMigrate` no longer reads every `readdir` failure as "nothing to
migrate". Only ENOENT/ENOTDIR proves the fresh-install case; a directory
that denies listing can still permit access to the known `secrets.json`,
and returning false there selected the keychain and left those secrets
invisible with nothing said. Other errors fall through to the under-lock
checks, which is what happened before the fast path existed.
- Pin `proper-lockfile` to the repo-root install in `vitest.shared.mts`,
beside express and yaml: it is reached only through root-owned `core/`.
Resolution already finds the root copy since no client declares it; the pin
is what stops that depending on it never arriving as some client's
transitive dependency, which would give a test two copies of a module whose
whole job is one registry of held locks.
- Make the cross-process test prove `mutate` takes the lock. The previous one
asserted only that both secrets survived, which the optimistic verify
delivers with the lock removed entirely. It now asserts the parent's `set`
has *not* settled while a child holds the lock — an observation only a real
lock produces. Verified by removing `withSecretFileLock` from `mutate`:
three tests fail, where none did before.
The degrade test's "lock cannot be created" case is now a path whose parent
is a *file* rather than a missing directory, since a missing directory is no
longer that case. It also fails identically for root, so it cannot pass
locally and flake in a container.

Copilot review r1. `updateServerSettings` is also driven by the pagination
toggle, which updates optimistically and — on any rejection — reverts the
override and rolls the live client back to `prevSettings` (#1721). Making
the post-write reload throw handed that catch a rejection whose PUT had
*succeeded*, so it reverted the UI and the client to a value that no
longer matched disk.
Give the reload failure its own type, `ServerListReloadError`, and branch
on it at that call site: report it, leave the optimistic state alone. The
distinction is what the callers need — a failed write must roll back, a
failed read-back must not — and a type carries it without the call site
matching on a message.
The `useServers` mock in App.test.tsx now spreads `importOriginal()` so
the class is the genuine one; a stub would make the `instanceof` check
vacuously false and the branch untestable.

#1950 shipped FileSecretStore without cross-process mutual exclusion, by
decision: an earlier revision hand-rolled a `mkdir` election with an owner
stamp, a heartbeat and a stale-takeover, and three consecutive review rounds
found a real race in it. The last one is not closable with what Node exposes
— claiming a stale lock atomically needs compare-and-swap on a directory
entry (`renameat2(RENAME_EXCHANGE)`) — so it was replaced with optimistic
verify-and-retry and the residual documented.
#2082 settles that as "borrow, don't hand-roll". `proper-lockfile` is what
npm itself locks with, and stale-takeover is precisely the problem it has
already solved: it re-stats the lock directory after claiming it and gives
the lock up when the mtime is not the one it wrote, so the loser of a
takeover race releases instead of proceeding.
- core/auth/node/file-lock.ts: `withSecretFileLock`. `realpath: false` so a
file can be locked into existence (the very first `set` has no
`secrets.json`, and the library's default resolves through `fs.realpath`);
a warning in place of the library's `onCompromised`, which throws from a
timer and would take the session down; and a degrade-with-one-warning path
rather than a throw when no lock can be taken — this store exists for boxes
missing the usual mechanism (#1848, #1905) and must not gain a new way to
be unavailable.
- FileSecretStore.mutate holds it across the whole read-modify-write. The
optimistic verify stays underneath and is not redundant: a lock is advisory
between the processes that take it, so the verify covers a writer outside
this codebase and covers the degrade path. The in-process queue stays too,
and gains a second job — proper-lockfile is not reentrant, so serializing
per path keeps ELOCKED meaning "another process".
- absorbFileSecretsIntoKeyring takes the same lock around orphan adoption and
the atomic claim, behind a lock-free `readdir` fast path so the common
startup (keychain available, no file ever written) neither creates a lock
directory nor warns about one it could not create.
proper-lockfile is a root `dependency` per the placement rule, and is named
in all three bundler `external` lists: tsup externalizes what the *client's*
manifest declares, so a root-only CJS package was being inlined into the ESM
bundles, leaving esbuild's `Dynamic require of "path" is not supported` shim
that killed `--cli` at import time. That rule was undocumented; it is now in
AGENTS.md beside the placement rule that creates it, and mirrored into
.github/copilot-instructions.md.
Tests: 7 new in file-lock.test.ts driving a real second process (the existing
suite structurally cannot — `serialize` orders in-process callers before the
lock sees them), plus two for the migration fast path.

`useServers`' mutators awaited `refresh()`, whose failure was swallowed
into the hook's `error` state rather than thrown. `ServerConfigModal`
renders `submitError` only for something `onSubmit` threw, so a
successful `POST /api/servers` followed by a failed `GET /api/servers`
closed the Add Server modal as though the whole thing had worked — no
inline error, no toast, and no new row, since the list read is what
would have produced it. That is the silent failure reported in #1914;
#1848 removed the trigger (a keyring-less container 500'ing the list
read) but not the swallow, so any other cause reproduces it.
Split the list read into `loadServers` and give the mutators their own
`refreshAfterWrite`, which records the failure in `error` as before and
then rethrows. `refreshInternal` is unchanged for the mount effect and
the SSE loop — neither has anywhere to put a rejection.
The thrown message says the write landed, because it did; only reading
the list back failed. A bare "could not add server" would send the user
straight into a retry that trips the duplicate-id check, which is the
dead end the original report described.
Every consumer of these mutators already handles a rejection:
ServerConfigModal and ServerRemoveConfirmModal into an inline error,
useSettingsDraft and the pagination toggle into a toast, and both
import flows into their per-entry outcome list.

`useImportClientConfig` applies every addition and conflict sequentially, so
wrapping its per-entry `onAddServer`/`onUpdateServer` in `refreshingPersist`
issued one `/api/config` per imported server. On an encrypted file store each
of those authenticates the whole file with a scrypt derivation (N=16384), so a
20-server import paid 20 serialized KDFs and round trips for a descriptor that
cannot change more than once.
Refresh on close instead: the modal must be dismissed before the settings
footer that reads the descriptor can be reached, and closing also covers a
partially-failed batch.
`ServerImportJsonModal` is left wrapped — it adds a single server, so its one
refresh is already once per batch.

Both `useCallback`s that wrap a persist call in `refreshingPersist` captured
`refreshInitialConfig` without listing it. `useInitialConfig`'s `refresh` is

`[base, authToken, doFetch]` — so once any of those changes, the pagination
save and the server removal keep invoking the obsolete closure and the
secret-storage footer can go stale.
`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` reported both, but the rule is warn-level and
`lint` does not fail on warnings, so `npm run ci` stayed green. These two were
