PeerLinks.resolve checked a link's stored addresses one at a time with Effect.findFirst, each bounded by probeTimeout. Every resolve, and so every forwarded MCP call, waited the full timeout on a silent first address before using one that answers. resolve now runs answersAs on all stored addresses at once with Effect.raceAll, the same pattern statusOf already uses for listing. The first address that answers as this environment wins and the other probes are interrupted. The token still goes only to an address that has just answered with the linked environmentId. The linkLimitsHold fencing check and the label update now take the winning peer's descriptor, and an empty address list still fails as unreachable. One behaviour change: when several addresses answer, resolve uses the fastest one, not the first one stored. No new regex or parser.

Fixes #35519

Reproduction on main

On origin/main fc2b5de, saved the reporter's test as apps/server/src/peer/peer-resolve-repro.test.ts and ran vp test run apps/server/src/peer/peer-resolve-repro.test.ts --silent=false. Output matched the report exactly: list: [ 'reachable' ], then for each of resolve #1 and #2 'still waiting' at 2.9 s and the second address at 3.0 s, and 3 descriptor requests reached the silent first address (one from listing, one per resolve). Then added a test to the existing PeerLinks.test.ts, 'resolves a link at its answering address without waiting out a sleeping first': link with two addresses, put the first to sleep, resolve once (advance clock 3 s), then resolve again with the clock not moving. On main the second resolve never returns (the test fails at the 120 s project timeout), because resolve probes the sleeping first address again before trying the second.

Evidence

Link two real T3 servers through two stored addresses, make the first address silent, list linked environments, then issue two forwarded t3_thread_list calls with allProjects:true. Fresh isolated state and the same driver were used on both commits.

Before	After
fc2b5de20c	4acc0b4edb
Before recording	After recording
Calls: 3.059 s, 3.044 s; listing: 0.040 s	Calls: 0.104 s, 0.039 s; listing: 0.038 s

Both runs sent zero authenticated requests to the silent address. The working address received the authenticated MCP requests.

Not shown:

• The non-loopback 10-second timeout was not exercised; this reproduces the supplied loopback case with its three-second timeout.
• Forwarded t3_thread_wait chunking was not exercised; the recordings show repeated forwarded t3_thread_list calls.
• An address answering as a different peer was not exercised; credential routing was observed for a silent first address and a matching working address.
• Web, desktop, and mobile UI behavior was not captured; this proof exercises the real server and forwarded MCP path.

Tests

vp test run apps/server/src/peer/PeerLinks.test.ts: 20/20 pass with the fix. Without the fix (stashed), the repro test 'resolves a link at its answering address without waiting out a sleeping first' fails with 'Test timed out in 120000ms'. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and test (2 files, 22 tests) all pass.

Not in this change

• Remembering the last address that answered between resolves (the approach of open PR perf(server): reuse verified linked-environment routes #26551). Racing already removes the wait, so a cache is not needed for this bug.
• resolve still probes the peer's descriptor on every forwarded call, including every 50 s piece of a forwarded t3_thread_wait. Cutting those probes would be a separate change.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 4acc0b4

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Forwarded calls can use an answering linked address without waiting for a silent address first. Existing identity, credential and linked-work capability checks remain in place, and the race does not duplicate authenticated calls.

Walkthrough

PeerLinks.resolve now races stored addresses and uses one that answers as the linked environment. A regression test covers resolution when the primary address is asleep and an alternate address answers.

Changes: Peer link resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Race and verify peer addresses apps/server/src/peer/PeerLinks.ts, apps/server/src/peer/PeerLinks.test.ts	resolve races stored URLs, preserves the unreachable and incompatible errors, and uses the answering peer’s label and URL. The test checks that an answering alternate is selected on consecutive resolutions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg, saphid, maria-rcks

Merge Risk: Low · up to 4acc0

The change makes forwarded calls to a linked environment reach a working alternate address without waiting out a silent earlier one. The new regression test can intermittently hang depending on request timing, which could cause flaky CI. Production behavior is not affected, so this is mergeable once the unnecessary wait is removed.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the core change: forwarded calls to a linked environment no longer wait out a silent first address. It matches the changeset, which races stored addresses in PeerLinks.resolve so the first answering address wins. The title uses the fix(server) conventional commit form and is specific. It is a single sentence of 94 characters, which is a bit long but acceptable.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#35519] Requirement: a forwarded call to a linked environment must not wait out the probe timeout of an earlier silent address when a later stored address answers as that peer. The reviewed head changes PeerLinks.resolve (apps/server/src/peer/PeerLinks.ts, around lines 644-667) to run answersAs on every stored address through Effect.raceAll, replacing the sequential Effect.findFirst. The first address that answers as the linked environmentId wins. Other probes are interrupted by the race. The token is still passed only to the winning address, which has just answered as that environmentId. The link-limits check and label update use the winning peer's descriptor. An empty address list still returns reason "unreachable". The new test 'resolves a link at its answering address without waiting out a sleeping first' (PeerLinks.test.ts) covers the case: the first address sleeps, and a second resolve with a stopped clock still returns the second address. The issue expects delay to approach the listing time, and racing addresses matches that expectation. The issue's exact delay bound is unverified and is not treated as a requirement. Real-app before-and-after evidence is pending per the PR description; it is not a coding requirement. #1 is closed and gives context only.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against merge base fc2b5de touches two files. PeerLinks.ts changes only the resolve body: the sequential lookup becomes a race, and the fencing and label steps use the winning peer. PeerLinks.test.ts adds one regression test for this bug. Both changes implement #35519. The behaviour change that the fastest answering address wins, not the first stored, follows from racing. The PR states it and the issue's expected behaviour supports it. Caching and the per-call descriptor probe are explicitly excluded in the PR description and are not in the diff. No unrelated change was found.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The PR description is detailed and covers the template's core sections. The Problem is stated: resolve probes stored addresses sequentially, so each forwarded call waits the full probeTimeout on a silent first address (issue #35519). The Change section explains the switch to Effect.raceAll, the token-routing guarantee, the fencing check and label update using the winning peer's descriptor, and the one behavior change (fastest address wins, not first stored). Scope is addressed by linking issue #35519, which describes a bug rather than a feature. Verification is thorough: a before/after reproduction on origin/main versus the fix commit, with timings, screenshots and recordings, unit test results (20/20 in PeerLinks.test.ts), and the repo check suite. It also lists what was not exercised. It ends with the AI-assistance note, though it does not name the model and harness as the template asks. Gaps: the Change section is the only place the scope of the diff is described, and the description does not say why the author believes this is the only fix needed. The template's header comment asks for a conventional commit title, which is not part of the description body and cannot be verified here. The screenshot and recording links point to a third-party file drop, and the template says to never commit PR-only assets; that is a reviewer-facing concern, not a missing section. Overall the description is mostly complete.

Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Remove the wait on the sleeping probe's request.

The test waits on Queue.take(b.unanswered), which is offered only when the sleeping server receives the b.url request. resolve races both addresses, so the elsewhere probe can win and interrupt the b.url probe before its request reaches the server. The queue is then never offered, and the test blocks until the test timeout. The test is nondeterministic, but it does not affect production behavior.

The wait and the clock adjustment are not needed. Fiber.join(first) completes when the elsewhere probe answers. A sequential implementation would hang at the join, so the regression is still detected.
