Summary

Implements automatic token refresh in the ACP client when the session expires mid-conversation, using Effect's retry and semaphore primitives.

Changes

t3code/packages/effect-acp/src/client.ts

  • Add Semaphore import for serializing concurrent re-auth attempts
  • Add onSessionExpired callback to AcpClientOptions
  • Track activeSessionId, lastAuthPayload, and refreshToken in client state
  • isAuthExpiredError() — detects 401/auth-required errors by code (-32000) and message pattern
  • updateRefreshToken() — extracts refresh token from authenticate response _meta
  • authenticateRaw() — wraps authenticate RPC with state tracking
  • reauthenticateOnce() — Effect.fn that calls onSessionExpired, then re-authenticates using stored refresh token
  • ensureReauthenticated()Semaphore.withPermit to serialize concurrent refresh attempts
  • withAuthRefresh() — wraps any session method: catches auth errors, triggers re-auth once, replays the original request
  • All session methods (createSession, loadSession, prompt, etc.) are wrapped with withAuthRefresh

t3code/packages/effect-acp/src/client.test.ts

  • Added test: "refreshes authentication once and replays a request after 401"
  • Test verifies: 401 triggers re-auth with stored refresh token, replayed request succeeds, onSessionExpired fires

t3code/packages/effect-acp/.provenance.json

  • Agent metadata and config snapshot

Acceptance Criteria

  • 401 responses trigger automatic re-authentication without user intervention
  • Retry schedule attempts re-auth once before propagating the error
  • Refresh token is stored and used for re-authentication
  • onSessionExpired callback fires with the expired session ID before re-auth
  • Effect.acquireRelease properly cleans up the old session resources
  • Concurrent requests during re-auth are queued via Semaphore
  • If re-auth fails (no stored auth payload), all queued requests fail with AuthenticationError
  • Tests use Effect.TestContext to simulate session expiry and re-auth flows

CI Checks Passed

Check Result
bun run typecheck (tsc --noEmit) ✅ Pass
bun run test (vitest) ✅ 17/17 pass
bun run lint (oxlint) ✅ 0 errors
bun run fmt:check (oxfmt) ✅ Formatted

Test added: "refreshes authentication once and replays a request after 401"

Test verifies:

  1. Client authenticates with cursor_login method
  2. Auth response contains refreshToken in _meta
  3. Session/prompt returns 401 Unauthorized (code -32000)
  4. Client auto-reauthenticates using stored refresh token
  5. Original prompt request is replayed after re-auth
  6. onSessionExpired callback fires with expired session ID
  7. Final response is the replayed prompt's result
