feat(doctor): report direct-read health in doctor and auth status by ffroliva · Pull Request #1238 · ffroliva/gflow-cli

ffroliva · 2026-11-10T14:53:39Z

Stacked on #1236. Retarget to develop after it merges.

Refs #1229. Ticket B of the page-free reads wave, exit criterion G6.

What

flow_wire.health(profile_dir) returns {status, build}. It is the one shared probe, and it is one wire credits read (one GET + one POST, the G5 budget) through read_credits, so every Ticket A rule applies. On top of those it honours the kill switch and the macOS default, which read_credits leaves to its caller. It never raises.
- status is accepted, throttled (RateLimitError/NetworkError, which only ever come from the throttle window), or a WireFallbackReason value passed through as-is (signed_out_shell, http_401, http_400, http_error, unparseable, store_unreadable, no_chrome_version, proxy_configured, network, redirect, disabled, unexpected).
- A profile Flow already refused in this process reports signed_out_shell and sends nothing. Without that, _gate would answer disabled, which reads as the kill switch.
- build is the cfb2h label, kept only if it matches boq_[A-Za-z0-9._-]{1,80}. It is scraped from remote HTML.
doctor: a new check, auth.wire_read, on the default profile (resolve_profile(None), so GFLOW_CLI_PROFILE applies). Doctor has no per-profile pattern; auth.files_present only counts. The summary is status=<enum> build=<label|unknown> (...), with a stable prefix that the e2e parses. No profile name appears.
Exit-33 semantics: accepted is a pass. Every other state is info, so it never flips exit 33. Reasons:
- In each of these states the browser read still answers. The wire is an accelerator, not a capability.
- store_unreadable is the normal state while Chrome has the profile open.
- disabled and proxy_configured are deliberate settings; env.browser_proxy is already info for the same reason.
- Doctor's exit code must not depend on the network or on whether Chrome is open.
- The doctor docstring keeps warn for "actionable defect".
- No profile, or no default profile: status=no_profile, info, nothing sent.
MCP gflow_auth_status: every post-resolution result gains wire: {status, build}. The wire is probed before verify_flow_profile, because a browser probe holding the profile locks the cookie jar. It never changes the session status. The field and its statuses are in description=, the text agents read.
Docs: cli_doctor.py and services/doctor.py docstrings, plus doctor --help ("…one read-only request to flow.google.com unless disabled"); the docs/MCP.md tool entry; the mcp/resources.py agent guide; a docs/CONFIGURATION.md GFLOW_CLI_WIRE_READS "Health" line and its website mirror; CHANGELOG. The broad doc sweep is left to Ticket C.

Six mirror axes (skills/check step 1b)

No new CLI option and no new MCP parameter.
The new MCP output field is mirrored by doctor's check, and the e2e asserts the two agree.
No queued payload.
Doctor stays exempt in test_cli_parity.py (feat: gflow doctor — read-only diagnostic with opt-in, safe remediation #542). G6 as amended puts the MCP half on gflow_auth_status.

Fix to #1236 behaviour: the signed-out mark is lifted by a renew, and re-asked by health

In #1236's flow_wire, a profile marked signed_out_shell or http_401 stayed marked for the life of the process. A long-lived MCP server therefore kept the profile on the browser even after credits --refresh renewed it.

The behaviour after the review round:

A renew that reports renewed lifts the mark. services/credits._fetch calls flow_wire.session_recovered (it clears the mark and the cached at), and the retried read tries the wire once more.
A successful page read lifts nothing. It does not change the cookies the wire sends, so a profile the wire refuses but the browser serves costs one shell GET per process, not one per read.
The mark stores Flow's reason. _gate raises the stored reason, never disabled (which names the kill switch), and a 401 stays http_401.
health() asks again. It clears the mark and re-probes with one GET; a still-signed-out shell marks it again.
Throttle windows are untouched, because they are time-based by design.

Tests:

test_a_wire_refused_page_served_profile_costs_one_shell_get_per_process
test_a_failed_page_read_keeps_the_signed_out_mark
test_a_renewed_profile_has_its_signed_out_mark_lifted_before_the_retry
test_a_page_read_never_lifts_a_throttle_window
test_signed_out_shell_falls_back_and_disables_the_wire and test_http_401_falls_back_without_retry_and_disables_the_wire (now assert the stored reason)
test_health_asks_flow_again_for_a_profile_marked_signed_out
test_health_reports_a_401_as_http_401_on_every_ask

The docs/CONFIGURATION.md "Safety" sentence is corrected to match.

Review round (two fresh xhigh reviews, reconciled by the coordinator)

All behavioural changes were watched red first: 34 failed before the fix, for the right reasons. The cookie-read hang test measured 5.02 s against a 2 s bound before the fix.

#	Finding	Decision	Change / test
1	A page read lifting the signed-out mark costs a GET on every read	Fixed	Only a renew that renewed lifts it. `test_a_wire_refused_page_served_profile_costs_one_shell_get_per_process`
2	`health()` answered from the in-process mark and the cached `at`, so `build` could be stale	Fixed	Re-asks with a fresh shell GET. `test_health_asks_flow_again_for_a_profile_marked_signed_out`, `test_health_always_reads_a_fresh_shell_so_the_build_is_current`. The e2e checks each probe's build label for shape instead of requiring two GETs to match.
3	`_gate` answered `disabled` for a signed-out profile; a 401 was relabelled	Fixed	`_signed_out: dict[Path, WireFallbackReason]`. `test_health_reports_a_401_as_http_401_on_every_ask` and the updated #1236 gate tests
4	`gflow_auth_status` still ran the browser probe against a throttled account	Fixed	Returns `status: throttled` with a retryable 429 `error` and `retry_after`. `test_a_throttled_wire_skips_the_browser_probe_and_says_so`
5	`asyncio.run` in doctor waited for a stuck cookie-read thread	Fixed	The cookie read runs on a daemon thread with the same 5 s budget. `test_doctor_returns_within_the_budget_when_the_cookie_read_blocks` (red at 5.02 s, now well under 2 s)
6	"one read-only request" understated the traffic; "every result carries `wire`" overstated where it appears	Fixed	Now "one GET and one POST" and "every session result" in the doctor help and docstrings, the MCP description, CHANGELOG, MCP.md and CONFIGURATION.md
7	USAGE.md doctor table was missing the check	Fixed	`auth.wire_read` row added (info only, never flips 33, nothing sent with `GFLOW_CLI_WIRE_READS=0`); now "Twelve checks"; the network use is stated; mirror regenerated
8	The `store_unreadable` and `no_profile` hints were incomplete	Fixed	`store_unreadable` names both causes (Chrome open, or no saved session); with no profile at all, `no_profile` says `gflow auth login`. Doctor parametrized tests
9	Doctor's `settings` argument was ignored	Fixed	`health(profile_dir, settings)`. `test_health_honours_the_settings_it_is_given`, `test_the_check_hands_its_own_settings_to_the_probe`
10	A profile outside `GFLOW_CLI_HOME` was reported as `unexpected`	Fixed	Raises `SecurityError`, as the credits path does. `test_health_raises_the_security_refusal_for_a_profile_outside_home`
11	The offline secrets test patched the wrong seam	Fixed	Cookies now exist only at `settings.profile_subdir("x")`, so probing any other dir fails the test
D1	`asyncio.run` inside a doctor check is unsafe for async callers	Deferred	No async caller of `run_all` exists
D2	Build the MCP status list in `description=` from the enum	Deferred	Nice to have

Red, then green

Red, before any production code: 25 failed in test_flow_wire.py -k health. Across the three new files the failures were AttributeError for flow_wire.health (in the MCP tests too, because they patch it) and for doctor._check_wire_read, plus an AssertionError from the missing auth.wire_read in CHECK_IDS. The MCP description test first failed on a wrong import in the test itself; it was fixed in the same step as the description, so its red on the missing words was not observed separately.

Green: 530 passed across tests/api/test_flow_wire.py, tests/services/test_doctor*.py, tests/cli/test_cli_doctor.py and tests/mcp/. The full suite and gates are below.

Not verified live: the renew trigger of the recovery fix. The blocker is that test_credits_refresh_e2e.py needs GFLOW_CLI_E2E_STALE_PROFILES, a profile whose saved session is actually stale, and this machine has none; a healthy profile cannot be made stale on demand. The page-read trigger did run live: the rejected-cookie fallback scenario passed on this tree.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- gflow doctor now checks direct credit-read health. Results are informational and do not affect the command’s exit status.
- gflow_auth_status now reports direct credit-read health alongside session status, including the Flow build label when available.
- When Flow throttles a profile, the auth-status check skips browser verification and reports when to retry.
Documentation
- Updated usage and configuration guides to describe the checks, their network activity, possible results, and throttle behavior.

flow_wire.health() is one wire credits read under every read_credits rule, plus the kill switch and macOS default; it returns only a status enum and the Flow build label. gflow doctor reports it for the default profile as auth.wire_read (info unless accepted, so exit 33 never depends on it), and gflow_auth_status carries it as a wire field, probed before the browser. Refs #1229

…is good again A profile Flow answered signed out (or 401) stayed on the browser for the life of the process, so a long-lived MCP server kept it there after a --refresh renew or a successful page read, and the health field reported the stale state. Either now clears the mark and the cached at; the next read tries the wire once more. The throttle window stays time-based. Refs #1229

Walkthrough

The change adds direct credits-read health reporting to gflow doctor and MCP auth status. It also updates wire-read sign-out and renewal state handling, bounds cookie reads, and adds tests and documentation for these behaviors.

Changes: Direct wire health reporting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Wire state and bounded cookie reads `src/gflow_cli/api/flow_wire.py`, `src/gflow_cli/services/credits.py`, `tests/api/test_flow_wire.py`, `tests/services/test_credits_wire_fallback.py`, `tests/services/test_credits.py`	Wire reads retain the specific sign-out reason, and cookie-store reads run on a bounded daemon thread. Successful renewal clears signed-out state before the credit-read retry.
Health probe and status surfaces `src/gflow_cli/api/flow_wire.py`, `src/gflow_cli/services/doctor.py`, `src/gflow_cli/cli_doctor.py`, `src/gflow_cli/mcp/tools.py`, `src/gflow_cli/mcp/resources.py`, `tests/api/test_flow_wire.py`, `tests/services/test_doctor_wire.py`, `tests/mcp/*`, `tests/fixtures/doctor_env.py`	`flow_wire.health` reports direct-read status and a validated build label. Doctor adds `auth.wire_read`; MCP auth status returns wire health and skips browser verification when throttled, returning a retryable 429 with `retry_after`.
End-to-end validation and documentation `tests/e2e/test_wire_health_e2e.py`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `docs/`, `website/docs/`	The end-to-end test checks accepted wire results from doctor and MCP auth status. Documentation describes the probe, its statuses, and conditions that suppress requests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 579a4

If the cookie store hangs, for example on a Linux keyring that never answers, repeated auth-status calls in a long-lived MCP process can pile up blocked threads. The failure needs a hung store, so bound outstanding cookie reads before merge.

- a page read no longer lifts a signed-out mark; only a renew that renewed does, so a wire-refused profile costs one shell GET per process - health() asks Flow afresh (clears the mark, bypasses the cached at) so status and build are current; it honours the caller's Settings and raises SecurityError for a profile outside GFLOW_CLI_HOME - the signed-out mark stores Flow's reason; _gate raises it, never DISABLED, and a 401 is no longer relabelled - gflow_auth_status skips the browser probe when the wire is throttled and returns status throttled with a retryable 429 and retry_after - the cookie read runs on a daemon thread, so asyncio.run in doctor cannot wait on a stuck cookie store at exit - wording: one GET and one POST; store_unreadable and no_profile hints; USAGE doctor table gains auth.wire_read Refs #1229

A renewal that Flow verified but labs left unanswered (labs_unverified) now lifts the profile's signed-out wire mark too: the direct read needs only flow.google.com's cookies, and labs answers 410 to everyone, so --refresh could otherwise never re-enable it. Sonar: catch Exception in the cookie thread, a parseable noqa reason, a constant for the doctor check id, and NOSONAR on two sqlite3.Row lookups by column name.

Bound outstanding cookie-read threads.

If the cookie store never returns, _TOTAL_S stops the wait but leaves this daemon thread running. Each later health probe starts another thread. Repeated MCP auth-status requests can therefore accumulate blocked threads in a long-lived process. Limit outstanding cookie reads and fail fast while a read remains blocked. The PR objective exposes health through MCP auth status.
