smc: read the peer status instead of assuming it - #9017
Conversation
Co-authored-by: jay <110402935+jay-418@users.noreply.github.com>
The card links out to the web version of Unbounded, but it only ever rendered when Features[unbounded] is true — which is exactly when the app already has Unbounded built in, with its own "Unbounded Settings" row three lines above it. So it offered a download for something the user was already running, and never appeared in the one case where a pointer elsewhere might have helped: censored regions, where the server sets the flag false and the whole block was hidden anyway. Removed rather than inverted. Showing it when the flag is false would mean advertising Unbounded precisely where it has been switched off on purpose. unboundedAvailable still gates the settings sub-page link, so the variable stays.

The peer-status event bus is edge-triggered on the in-process path this build uses: it carries transitions with no snapshot on subscribe. The peer client resumes from persisted settings at process start, before any UI is listening, so the UI never learns sharing is already running and renders whatever it assumed at startup — the "Configuring network" card that sits there while Share My Connection is actually serving peers. Adds PeerStatusJSON() on the core and GetPeerStatus() on the mobile FFI so the UI can read current state instead of inferring it. Both return "" on failure rather than a synthesized idle, keeping "not sharing" and "could not ask" distinguishable. Bumps radiance for ipc.Client.PeerStatus (getlantern/radiance#617), which brings lantern-box v0.0.116.

The share UI is built purely on the peer-status event stream, which is edge-triggered: transitions only, no snapshot on subscribe. Peer sharing resumes from persisted settings at process start, well before the UI exists, so the UI opens at mode=off while SmC is already serving peers. Toggling on from that state is what produces the stuck card: the UI writes a setting radiance already has, PatchSettings' diff gate skips Start, no phase event ever fires, and the card sits on "Configuring network" indefinitely while sharing works fine underneath. Adds a getPeerStatus path through every layer that carries one — the c-archive FFI export (Windows/Linux), the method channel plus its macOS, iOS and Android handlers, and the service interface — then reconciles ShareState from it on home mount and starts the event subscription so later transitions land too. Only a phase meaning sharing is genuinely up is adopted. idle is the backend agreeing we are off; error belongs to the toggle path, which owns the Unbounded fallback. An unreadable status leaves state alone: "not sharing" and "could not ask" must not render identically. The _StatusCard idle mapping is deliberately unchanged. After a toggle, idle really is mid-flight, so remapping it would claim "off" while SmC serves — the inverse of the bug being fixed. lantern_generated_bindings.dart carries the single new binding by hand. A full `make ffigen` on this machine rewrote 8264 lines of unrelated symbols from local SDK headers, which is toolchain drift, not this change.

Pull request overview
This PR makes the Share My Connection (SmC) UI reconcile its initial state from the backend (instead of relying solely on an edge-triggered peer-status event stream), preventing the status card from getting stuck on “Configuring network” when peer sharing is already running. It also removes a redundant “Lantern Projects” promo section in Settings and bumps Go deps (radiance / lantern-box) to support peer status reads.
Changes:
- Add a cross-platform
getPeerStatus/getPeerStatusJSON()path (core → mobile/FFI → platform channels → Dart services) and use it to seedShareStateon Home mount. - Add
PeerStatusJSON()to lantern-core and expose it via gomobile + FFI. - Remove the “Lantern Projects” promo card/heading from Settings when Unbounded is already included.

- macOS/iOS: run MobileGetPeerStatus off the main actor. It is an IPC round-trip bounded by a 5s Go-side timeout, invoked from a post-frame callback at first paint, so evaluating it inside MainActor.run could stall rendering. Mirrors the existing probeUPnP detachment. Android was already correct — its scope is Dispatchers.IO. - Drop the redundant error-envelope check in syncFromBackend. peer.Status tags Error omitempty, so the key is absent unless the phase is error, which the switch already returns on; the requireCore envelope carries no phase and is caught by that check alone. - Normalize the requireCore envelope to "" at the FFI boundary so the documented "empty when unreadable" contract holds there too. - Match the platform-service log message to the method name.

- The comment says this runs "before anything reads" the share state, but
shareProvideris already read earlier inbuild(e.g.shareActive). This makes the documentation misleading about ordering/guarantees. Consider rewording to say it reconciles on the first frame / as early as possible rather than before any reads.
// Reconcile the share UI with the backend before anything reads its
// state. Peer sharing resumes from persisted settings at process start,
// and the peer-status stream is edge-triggered, so without asking
// outright the UI opens at mode=off while SmC is already serving.
// Deliberately not gated on unboundedAutoEnable: the point is to reflect
lib/features/home/home.dart:185
- This post-frame callback uses
ref.read(...)without checking that the widget is still mounted. If Home unmounts before the callback runs (e.g. during fast navigation/teardown), this can throw due to reading from a disposed scope. Add acontext.mountedguard like the earlier post-frame effect in this file.
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
if (!unboundedAvailable) return;
ref.read(shareProvider.notifier).syncFromBackend(ref);
});
Review asked for coverage of syncFromBackend's parsing and phase gating. Split the decision out as adoptablePhase so it is reachable without a WidgetRef, which a ProviderContainer cannot supply, and test it directly: every phase meaning sharing is up is adopted; empty, malformed, non-object and phase-less payloads are declined, as are idle, stopping, error, and an unrecognized future phase. One test pins that declining leaves ShareState untouched — the "not sharing" vs "could not ask" distinction. Verified by mutation: adopting idle fails two tests. Dropping the missing-phase guard fails none, because fromWire maps null to idle, which the switch already declines — the guard is defensive redundancy, not distinct behavior, and the comment now says so rather than implying coverage that cannot exist.

The guard sat before the await only. That read is an IPC round-trip bounded by a 5s timeout and runs at first paint, so the user has a wide window to hit the toggle while it is in flight. Adopting the snapshot after that would stamp mode=smc over a session that had just started as Unbounded, so a later toggle-off would call setPeerProxy(false) and leave Unbounded running. It would also install a second event subscription: _startEventSubscription assigns _appEventSub without cancelling an existing one, so the first leaks and every event is handled twice.

- The test registers a GetIt singleton in setUp without first resetting the service locator.

Home can be disposed before the frame settles (a fast route change in the same frame), and reading a provider from a disposed scope throws. Adds the if (!context.mounted) return; guard this file already uses on its other post-frame callbacks, on both the new reconciliation effect and the adjacent auto-enable one, which had the same gap. Also moves the reconciliation effect above the "Auto-enable Unbounded" comment block. It had been inserted between that comment and the effect it describes, so the comment's "1. App launch (useEffect below)" pointed at the wrong useEffect. Found by Copilot on #9017.

Valid observation, but I'm not taking it in this PR — flagging for a human call rather than resolving.
The hazard is real and pre-existing. _startEventSubscription has two callers: _start (line 461) and my syncFromBackend (line 408). The subscription it installs outlives any single frame and its callbacks close over the captured WidgetRef, so _handlePeerStatus → _fallbackToUnbounded can use it long after the widget is gone. That is the design as it stands today, not something this PR introduces. The file already awaits and then uses widgetRef in the toggle path at lines 330 (getPeerManualPort) and 345 (probeUPnP). My change adds a third caller to an existing pattern; it does not create it.
Why not fix it here. The refactor you describe is the right one — the notifier is keepAlive()d, so its own ref genuinely is the correct lifetime for a subscription that must outlive a widget. But it means changing _startEventSubscription, _handlePeerStatus, _fallbackToUnbounded, _start, toggle and autoStart to stop threading WidgetRef. That is the SmC toggle path and the Unbounded fallback path — the two flows this PR most depends on and the two I have no way to exercise here. There are no tests over them (the fallback path shipped untested in #8997), and CI compiles the app but does not run it.
Rolling a cross-cutting lifetime refactor of untested paths into a status-display fix would make the regression risk of this PR much harder to reason about, and would bury it in a diff already spanning three languages.
What I did do: the entry point is guarded. home.dart now checks context.mounted before calling syncFromBackend, matching the file's other post-frame callbacks. That closes the common case (Home torn down before the frame settles) without touching the shared subscription machinery. It does not close the window you identify — disposal during the await — which is precisely why this is worth its own change rather than a patch here.
Leaving this unresolved so @myleshorton can decide whether to spin it into a follow-up.

Should we wait for syncFromBackend() to finish before auto-starting Unbounded?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch — yes, and the consequence was worse than a stale render. Fixed in a3e9c1f.
syncFromBackend(ref) was fire-and-forget, so it returned at its first await (the IPC round-trip). The auto-start callback then ran in the same frame, read ShareState while it still said mode=off / active=false / probing=false, and its (active || probing) gate passed. So Unbounded started even when SmC was already serving. The post-await guard inside syncFromBackend then saw active set by that very autoStart and bailed — leaving Unbounded enabled on top of a live SmC session, with the UI showing Unbounded.
That gate cannot mean anything until the reconciliation has landed, so the two are now one sequential callback: reconcile → re-check context.mounted → evaluate the gate. Kept the second mounted check because the await reopens the teardown window.
Trade-off worth naming: auto-start is now delayed by up to the 5s peer-status timeout. That seems well within "Turn on automatically when Lantern is open", and it is bounded, but say the word if you would rather have it race and self-correct.
I left the VPN-connect ref.listen path alone — by the time a connect transition fires, reconciliation has long since completed, so it does not have the same stale-gate problem.
The two post-frame callbacks raced. syncFromBackend was fire-and-forget, so it returned at its first await and the auto-start callback ran in the same frame, reading ShareState while it still said mode=off / active=false. Its (active || probing) gate passed and Unbounded started even when SmC was already serving; the post-await guard in syncFromBackend then made the reconciliation bail, leaving Unbounded enabled on top of a live SmC session with the UI showing Unbounded. Merges them into one sequential callback: reconcile, re-check mounted, then evaluate the gate. Auto-start is delayed by at most the 5s peer-status timeout, which is well within "turn on automatically when Lantern is open". Found by @atavism on #9017.

Fixes two of the three Share My Connection issues reported: the status card stuck on "Configuring network", and the redundant Lantern Projects section in Settings.
The stuck status card
The share UI is built purely on the peer-status event stream. That stream is edge-triggered on the in-process path the app uses — it carries transitions, with no snapshot on subscribe. Peer sharing resumes from persisted settings at process start, well before the UI exists, so the UI opens believing
mode=offwhile SmC is already serving peers.Toggling on from that state is what wedges the card. The UI writes a setting radiance already holds, so
PatchSettings' diff gate never callsapplyPeerShare,Startnever runs, and no phase event is ever emitted. The card sits atmode=smc, phase=idle— which renders as "Configuring network" — indefinitely, while sharing works fine underneath.sequenceDiagram autonumber participant R as radiance<br/>peer client participant B as LocalBackend<br/>radiance.go participant C as lantern-core<br/>core.go participant U as share UI<br/>share_my_connection.dart Note over R: process start — resumes from<br/>persisted settings ⚠️ R->>R: Start() → serving Note over U: build() → ShareState(mode: off, phase: idle) U->>U: subscribes to peer-status events Note over U: edge-triggered: nothing replayed,<br/>the serving transition already happened U->>B: toggle on → setPeerProxy(true) rect rgba(255, 200, 200, 0.3) Note over B: diff gate sees no change,<br/>skips applyPeerShare 🐛 end B-->>U: ok (no Start, no event) Note over U: stays mode=smc / phase=idle<br/>→ "Configuring network" foreverThe fix
