User description

Fixes#585 (production-behavior direction only β€” see Non-goals).

Problem

public/sw.js calls self.clients.claim() on activate, and register-sw.ts's controllerchange handler unconditionally calls flushLatestStateThenReload() whenever the controller changes while the page is visible. clients.claim() claims already-open clients immediately, not just future navigations β€” so a completely fresh browser context's very first page load fires controllerchange on that same first-ever page, not only on a version update for a returning visitor. Every first-time visitor, and every fresh E2E browser context, underwent one automatic, unprompted reload shortly after the initial page load.

Root cause

The reload's documented purpose is avoiding a missing-chunk failure, because activate already pruned the old version's cache by the time controllerchange fires β€” a risk specific to genuine updates. A first-ever install has no prior version to be stale relative to.

Fix (converged through many rounds of review β€” each closing a narrower race or correctness gap than the last)

The final architecture, after the classification logic went through several rejected intermediate designs (each broken by a real, reproduced counter-example, each superseded fix verified with a negative control β€” revert β†’ confirm the new test fails β†’ restore β†’ confirm it passes):

  • Absolute-URL identity.ServiceWorker.scriptURL is always a fully resolved absolute URL per spec; swUrl is resolved to an absolute URL once (new URL(...).href) before every comparison, so this app's own worker is identified correctly instead of never matching (an earlier relative-path comparison would have silently misclassified every returning visitor).
  • Foreign-worker filtering. On a shared origin (e.g. GitHub Pages), a broader-scoped worker's own controllerchange is ignored outright β€” verified by scriptURL before any queuing or classification β€” so it can never consume the one-shot exemption or write this app's own install record.
  • Persistent installation history. A localStorage record keyed by this app's own absolute script URL is written from any positive evidence (an own controller already at page load, an own 'activated' registration, or a first genuine claim), so future page loads classify instantly and correctly without depending on live Service Worker API timing at all.
  • Event queuing during classification. A controllerchange arriving before classification is final β€” whether during getRegistration(), during its failure-recovery window, or during register() itself β€” is queued, not guessed at, and replayed once classification is final.
  • getRegistration()-failure recovery. If getRegistration() rejects, classification is deferred rather than finalized on zero evidence, and recovered from register()'s own idempotent result once it resolves β€” so a force-refreshed returning visitor hitting a transient lookup failure is still classified correctly instead of misclassified as a first install. If register()also rejects, classification finalizes to a safe first-install default so no controllerchange is left queued forever.
  • One-shot exemption. The first-install classification is consumed after its first use, so a long-lived tab that outlives its own first-install claim still reloads correctly when a later, genuine update takes over.

A full state-transition audit (persistent marker Γ— controller-at-setup Γ— getRegistration() outcome Γ— prior-registration state Γ— register() outcome Γ— controllerchange timing) was performed before the architecture above was accepted as final β€” see the last two commits' messages for the two gaps it found and closed, and what it confirmed was already correct.

Scope

register-sw.ts's controllerchange handler and its pre-register() detection logic, only.

Non-goals

Per #585's own "Scope for a fix" section, this closes only direction 1 (the production reload decision). Direction 2 (hardening tests/e2e/helpers.ts's startup helpers against an unprompted navigation) is intentionally left to #532, which remains open and already names controllerchange-driven reload as one of several candidate mechanisms in its own still-unresolved startup/harness nondeterminism investigation β€” this PR does not attempt to close or reopen #532.

A pre-existing, unrelated finding (flushLatestStateThenReload's timeout branch racing an in-flight flush) was verified byte-identical against base main and is out of scope here β€” dispositioned in review as a variant of the residual class already tracked in #518, not fixed in this PR.

A narrow, compound-timing residual β€” two tabs racing the very first-ever activation of this origin's service worker so closely that one tab's live (or, in a genuinely first-ever wave, not-yet-persisted) evidence reads as "already installed" β€” cannot be closed with a local, snapshot-based fix; it requires real cross-tab coordination (e.g. a BroadcastChannel-based install-wave announcement), which is new architectural surface, not a targeted bugfix. This is tracked in #614, not attempted here.

Regression coverage

tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.ts β€” grew from 10 tests to 29 across the review cycle, covering: first-ever install (no registration), one-shot consumption, force-refresh with an existing 'activated' registration, concurrent tabs observing each other's in-progress (installing-only or 'activating'-but-not-yet-'activated') registration, absolute-vs-relative scriptURL scoping, foreign-worker exclusion, controllerchange events queued mid-getRegistration() and mid-register(), persistent-record backfill from positive live evidence (including the failure-recovery path), classification recovering from register()'s result when getRegistration() rejects, and the compound double-failure safe default. Every fix above was verified with its own negative control before being accepted.

Validation

  • pnpm exec vitest run tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.ts β€” 29/29 pass on the final head.
  • pnpm run lint -- register-sw.ts tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.ts (exact CI command) β€” clean.
  • node scripts/check-doc-metrics.mjs β€” clean after syncing README's test count (7456+ tests / 598 files).
  • Full CI is the authoritative gate for typecheck/build/E2E; not rerun locally per this repo's low-end-hardware guidance.

Summary by Sourcery## Summary by Sourcery

Skip the unnecessary first-load reload caused by service worker activation while retaining safe reload behavior for returning visitors after updates.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent the service worker from triggering an automatic flush-and-reload during its first-ever activation while preserving reloads for genuine updates.
  • Correct service worker ownership and installation classification across force refreshes, concurrent installs, shared origins, and asynchronous registration failures.

Enhancements:

  • Persist app-specific service worker installation history and queue controller changes until classification is complete.
  • Refactor service worker setup into focused helpers without changing update notifications, Tauri cleanup, or periodic sync behavior.

Documentation:

  • Synchronize README test-count metrics with the expanded regression suite.

Tests:

  • Expand registration and update regression coverage to 29 tests for first installs, update races, worker ownership, persistence, and failure recovery.

Summary by cubic

Fixes#585 by stopping the service worker's controllerchange reload from firing on a first-ever install, so first-time visitors no longer get an automatic reload. Genuine updates still flush state and reload for returning visitors.

Bug Fixes

  • Classifies a first install only when no own controller, no own 'activated' registration, and no persistent record existed at load; foreign workers on shared origins never count.
  • Resolves swUrl to an absolute URL before comparing against ServiceWorker.scriptURL β€” the previous relative comparison silently misclassified every returning visitor.
  • Queues controllerchange events arriving before classification completes and replays them once final, so claims racing the async setup aren't missed.
  • Recovers classification from register()'s result when getRegistration() rejects; if both reject, defaults to first-install so no events stay queued forever.
  • Persists a localStorage record keyed by this app's own script URL from positive evidence, so future loads classify without live-API timing.
  • The exemption is one-shot, so a later genuine update on a long-lived tab still reloads.

Refactors

  • Extracted classification, Tauri teardown, update-notification setup, and periodic sync into dedicated functions with no behavior change.
  • Added regression tests covering installs, concurrent tabs, force-refreshed visitors, foreign workers, queued/rejected lookups, persistent records, and later updates.

Written for commit 0a0c71b. Summary will update on new commits.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Prevent first-install reloads while preserving service worker update refreshes

What Changed

  • First-time visitors no longer get an automatic page reload when the service worker takes control.
  • Returning visitors still flush pending changes and reload after genuine service worker updates.
  • Install history is tracked for this app, including cases where the page has no current controller or an update is still activating.
  • Service worker changes from unrelated apps on shared origins are ignored.
  • Added regression coverage for first installs, update races, hidden tabs, failed registration checks, foreign workers, and later updates in long-lived tabs.

Impact

βœ… No unexpected reload on first visit
βœ… Preserved update reloads for returning visitors
βœ… Fewer lost or stale app-state risks during updates

This PR successfully fixes issue #585 by preventing an unnecessary reload on first-time service worker installations. The implementation correctly distinguishes between first-ever activations and genuine updates by snapshotting navigator.serviceWorker.controller before registration. The fix is well-tested with comprehensive coverage including the new regression guard. All changes are clean, well-documented, and ready to merge.

πŸ“ Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The service-worker registration flow distinguishes first activation from later updates, filters foreign workers, persists install history, and handles registration races. Tests cover these states and transitions. README metrics report 7,452+ tests.

Changes

Service worker activation

Layer / File(s)Summary
First-install activation and reload flow
register-sw.ts, tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.ts
Controller handling starts before asynchronous registration lookup. App-owned workers use persistent install history and scoped URLs to distinguish first activation from later updates. Foreign workers are ignored.
Registration side-effect helpers
register-sw.ts
Tauri teardown, update notifications, periodic background sync, and registration cleanup use extracted helpers. Existing error and event behavior remains.
Activation regression coverage
tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.ts
Tests cover first-install exemptions, persistent records, foreign workers, registration races, later updates, retries, visibility, and flush timeouts.

Test metrics documentation

Layer / File(s)Summary
Test count updates
README.md
Four README sections now report 7,452+ tests instead of 7,446+.

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

Merge Risk:🟑 Moderate · up to f1b1e

The first-install exemption may also suppress reloads for genuine updates when service-worker registration lookup fails, leaving users on stale application state. This path and its regression coverage should be corrected before merge.

- Line 148: Defer controllerchange processing until the first-install
classification using hadControllerAtLoad and priorRegistration.active.state
completes; do not let the provisional isUnconsumedFirstInstallClaim value
consume the exemption. Queue every controller change received while
getRegistration() is pending, then replay them after classification, preserving
the required flush and reload for tabs that already had a controller. Add a
regression test covering an existing controller with controllerchange firing
before getRegistration() resolves.

resolve undefined, then assert the own-script installation record is absent
before triggering the controller change. Keep the existing post-claim assertion

)
public/sw.js calls self.clients.claim() on activate, and register-sw.ts's
controllerchange handler unconditionally reloaded whenever the controller
changed while the page was visible. clients.claim() claims already-open
clients immediately, not just future navigations, so a completely fresh
browser context's very first page load fired controllerchange on that
same first-ever page, not only on a version update for a returning
visitor β€” every first-time visitor underwent one automatic, unprompted
reload shortly after the initial page load.
The reload's purpose is avoiding a missing-chunk failure, because
activate already prunes the old version's cache by the time
controllerchange fires β€” a risk specific to genuine updates. A
first-ever install has no prior version to be stale relative to.
Final architecture, converged through an extensive review cycle, each
step verified with a negative control (revert -> confirm the new test
fails -> restore -> confirm it passes) before being accepted:
- Absolute-URL identity: ServiceWorker.scriptURL is always a fully
resolved absolute URL per spec; swUrl is resolved to an absolute URL
once before every comparison, so this app's own worker is identified
correctly instead of never matching.
- Foreign-worker filtering: on a shared origin (e.g. GitHub Pages), a
broader-scoped worker's own controllerchange is ignored outright,
verified by scriptURL before any queuing or classification.
- Persistent installation history: a localStorage record keyed by this
app's own absolute script URL is written from any positive evidence
(an own controller already at page load, an own 'activated'
registration, or a first genuine claim), so future page loads
classify instantly without depending on live Service Worker API
timing at all.
- Event queuing during classification: a controllerchange arriving
before classification is final -- during getRegistration(), during
its failure-recovery window, or during register() itself -- is
queued, not guessed at, and replayed once classification is final.
- getRegistration()-failure recovery: if getRegistration() rejects,
classification is deferred rather than finalized on zero evidence,
and recovered from register()'s own idempotent result once it
resolves. If register() also rejects, classification finalizes to a
safe first-install default so no controllerchange is left queued
forever.
- One-shot exemption: the first-install classification is consumed
after its first use, so a long-lived tab that outlives its own
first-install claim still reloads correctly when a later, genuine
update takes over.
A full state-transition audit (persistent marker x controller-at-setup
x getRegistration() outcome x prior-registration state x register()
outcome x controllerchange timing) was performed before this
architecture was accepted as final.
Scope: register-sw.ts's controllerchange handler and its
pre-register() detection logic, only.
Non-goals: per #585's own "Scope for a fix" section, this closes only
the production reload decision. Hardening tests/e2e/helpers.ts's
startup helpers against an unprompted navigation is intentionally left
to #532, which remains open. A pre-existing, unrelated finding
(flushLatestStateThenReload's timeout branch racing an in-flight
flush) was verified byte-identical against base main and is out of
scope -- a variant of the residual class already tracked in #518. A
narrow, compound-timing residual -- two tabs racing the very
first-ever activation of this origin's service worker so closely that
one tab's live evidence reads as "already installed" -- requires real
cross-tab coordination and is tracked in #614, not attempted here.
tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.ts grew from 10 to 29 tests,
covering first-ever install, one-shot consumption, force-refresh with
an existing 'activated' registration, concurrent tabs observing each
other's in-progress registration, absolute-vs-relative scriptURL
scoping, foreign-worker exclusion, controllerchange events queued
mid-getRegistration() and mid-register(), persistent-record backfill
from positive live evidence, classification recovering from
register()'s result when getRegistration() rejects, and the compound
double-failure safe default.

* chore(release): bump version to v1.28.4
Patch release reconciling release-truth documentation with everything
merged to main since v1.28.3 (62 commits / ~40 PRs, audited against
live GitHub state, not assumed from commit subjects):
- fix: PWA first-install unprompted reload (#585, PR #613)
- fix: shared-origin service-worker cache-read isolation (#514, PR #612)
- fix: Factory Reset could reboot into Settings instead of Welcome
Portal (PR #592)
- fix: preserve-first desktop corruption recovery (PR #542) and a
distinct filesystem-I/O recovery action (PR #545)
- fix: intentionally cleared project metadata no longer reappears
(PR #546)
- a11y: Welcome/Home dashboard WCAG AA contrast + reduced-motion
cascade fix + default appearance preset change (#565, PR #609);
ManuscriptEditor contrast (PR #560)
- security: fflate ZIP64-parsing DoS override (PR #595); routine
dependency floor bumps (PR #587, #561, #562, #594)
- docs: R-15 secure desktop storage design contract admitted (PRs
#564, #580, #581, #582, #584) β€” design only, no implementation yet
- tests: visual regression testing repaired β€” baselines were directory
listings, not the application (PR #610); IDB reset-quiescence
hardening (PR #596); WelcomePortal E2E navigation made
locale-independent (PR #590)
Everything classified as pure internal/CI-governance churn (PR-size
exception plumbing, dual-graph tooling, toolchain pins) is omitted from
CHANGELOG.md as non-user-facing.
Version bumped via the existing sync scripts (sync-tauri-version.mjs,
sync-sw-version.mjs) across package.json, src-tauri/Cargo.toml,
src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, src-tauri/Cargo.lock, AGENTS.md, and
public/sw.js's APP_VERSION.
CHANGELOG.md and README.md use the established release-candidate
marker convention (<!-- release-candidate: v1.28.4 -->) so the dated
entry and version badge are truthful before the v1.28.4 tag exists;
both markers are removed in a follow-up post-release truth-sync once
the tag and GitHub Release are published, matching the v1.28.2/v1.28.3
precedent.
TODO.md's Current Sprint section was archived (its final "release cut
remains open" bullet is now resolved β€” v1.28.2 and v1.28.3 both
shipped) and replaced with the actual current sprint: this release cut
followed by the R-15 desktop at-rest encryption priority program.
AUDIT.md is intentionally not touched here β€” its release-gate entry
requires real post-merge CI/CodeQL run evidence that doesn't exist
until after this PR merges and the tag is cut, matching how every
prior release's AUDIT.md entry was written (a follow-up commit, not
part of the release-prep PR itself).
* docs(release): correct premature done-marker on the v1.28.4 TODO item
TODO.md's Current Sprint marked the release cut as done (checked
'v1.28.4' release cut, reconciling ... AUDIT.md truth ...) while this
same PR's own Non-goals section correctly states AUDIT.md is not
touched here, and while no tag, GitHub Release, or release artifacts
exist yet. Corrected to in-progress language naming PR #615 directly
and listing what actually remains pending (tag, release, artifacts,
post-release AUDIT.md evidence).
* docs(release): correct R-15 gate language and credit PR #596's real fix
Two corrections from review, verified against live evidence before
fixing:
1. TODO.md's Current Sprint claimed R-15 desktop at-rest encryption
implementation was being prioritized now. docs/native/DESKTOP-
MIGRATION-ROADMAP-REV3.md explicitly forbids pulling Wave 3/4 R-15
implementation ahead of unresolved Wave 2 authority prerequisites,
and CORE-MIGRATION-LEDGER.md row 10 records
S5_IMPLEMENTATION_READY=NO. Corrected to state R-15 design is
complete but implementation stays gated behind the still-open Wave
2 prerequisite (ledger row 9: the project state-shape compatibility
adapter), which is what this sprint's desktop-storage work actually
is.
2. CHANGELOG.md listed PR #596 only as generic IDB test hardening
under Tests. Verified against its actual diff: deleteDatabase()
previously resolved on a genuine onerror or an onblocked event as
if deletion succeeded, so wipeAllAppData() could report Factory
Reset complete while a database was never actually deleted. onerror
now rejects; onblocked waits for the connection to close before
giving up. This is a real production data-integrity fix, not test
hardening, and now has its own Fixed entry.
