Recover from disconnected USB cable (both startup and ongoing)

[AndreusNvidius]

Description

Instead of throwing an exception if a headset is not visibly availlble via ADB when starting OOB with usb-local, wait and retry once every 5 seconds until a headset is connected.

Instead of requiring the entire monolithic OOB coordination process to be restarted to recover from USB cable disconnection, monitor and rebuild the ADB tunnel and restart the streaming connection.

Fixes #(issue)

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation update

Testing

Tested by running Isaac Teleop with --setup-oob --usb-local, x86-64 Ubuntu 24.04 workstation w/ 2x Ada 6000, Pico 4 Ultra connected via USB, as follows:

• Start with USB cable connected. Terminal indicates lack of connected HMD.
• Connect USB cable. Terminal shows messages setting up ADB tunnel and starting streaming.
• Streaming starts.
• Disconnect USB cable. HMD quickly exits immersive/streaming session, terminal indicates disconnected USB cable.
• Reconnect USB cable. Terminal indicates detected connection, restarts the ADB tunnel setup and ADB browser automation
• Streaming re-starts.

This was also tested with one downstream full-stack teleoperation stack, successfully showing resumed teleoperation without restarting the OpenXR server application.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • OOB headset setup now recovers from temporary headset, network, and browser issues, with configurable retry intervals and recovery timeouts.
  • Setup status and browser health are reported during startup, and headset selection remains pinned to one device.
  • USB-local setup can start without a headset connected and verifies required browser health support before setup.
• Bug Fixes
  • Browser assets are served without caching, helping ensure reconnects use the latest client.
  • Wi-Fi loss is distinguished from ADB transport failures to avoid misleading network warnings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds generation-tagged WebXR health probes, headset activity metrics, and texture-binding recovery. It replaces fixed OOB startup checks with a serial-pinned recovery lifecycle that manages ADB mappings, browser connection, stream verification, retries, and device replacement. The service publishes atomic lifecycle status, exposes it through CLI and launcher APIs, and reports recovery updates. Static assets receive cache-control handling and health-protocol validation. Tests cover the new client, ADB, lifecycle, service, and status flows.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba7b7

This change makes recovery from USB disconnects automatic. However, each recovery attempt can briefly freeze the signaling and control connection that live streaming depends on. When a recovery attempt runs out of time just after connecting, the headset browser may be reset and reconnected unnecessarily, disrupting a session that was about to start. Both issues are in the new recovery path and should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Summary

This PR reworks the OOB (out-of-band) ADB teleop lifecycle from a fail-fast, one-shot "check exactly one device is present, then run once" model into a persistent recovery state machine that tolerates a missing/replaced/degraded headset at both startup and mid-session, plus explicit ADB serial pinning, a browser-liveness (healthProbe/healthReport) protocol, a dedicated local HTTPS static server, and a persisted OOB status snapshot. The core resilience design is sound and well tested. Findings below are concentrated in the seams of the refactor: a few genuine correctness bugs in edge cases, a couple of observability gaps for the newly-added components, and some maintainability debt in the new state machine.

Legend: 🚫 Blocker · 💡 Suggestion · 🔍 Nit

	Finding
🚫	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_adb.py:1167 — _adb_forward_remove's CDP-forward cleanup timeout was cut from 10s to 2s and the resulting subprocess.TimeoutExpired is uncaught anywhere in the call chain (_adb_run has no try/except), contrary to the function's intended safe, exception-free cleanup contract.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:519 — the WAITING_FOR_ADB diagnostic reason is computed from any currently-observed ADB device's state (states.values()), not the selected/pinned headset's — an unrelated attached device in unauthorized/offline state produces a misleading diagnostic about the wrong device.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/_service.py:385 — _publish_oob_status does synchronous disk I/O (mkdir/write_text/os.replace) directly on the asyncio event-loop thread, called on every lifecycle transition and roughly every interval_sec (default 5s); this stalls concurrent WebSocket traffic for the duration of each write.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/_service.py:419 — health_check() only checks the WSS proxy thread's liveness; the new USB-local static HTTPS server thread has no equivalent check, so its death goes unreported while the service still reports healthy.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/launcher.py:816 — oob_status() unconditionally returns None once is_runtime_live() is false, discarding a just-written fatal snapshot (e.g. DEVICE_REPLACED) for every caller except the one CLI path (service/__main__.py::_cmd_status) that duplicates this logic inline to work around it.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py (whole run(), ~line 470 on) — the recovery state machine represents state as free-form strings with no enum, and transitions are gated by roughly a dozen independent instance booleans reset via hand-copied blocks at 4+ separate branches instead of one central reset — exactly the shape of bug this PR exists to fix if a future edit misses one of the copies.
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_hub.py:401 — lastMetricsAt is returned in milliseconds from get_snapshot() but raw seconds from _handle_health_report() under the same key name; currently latent (nothing consumes the health-report version yet) but a landmine for the next reader/consumer.
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_env.py:311 — start_usb_local_https_server builds its own ssl.SSLContext/load_cert_chain/TLS-floor setup instead of reusing wss.py's build_ssl_context(); direct reuse is currently blocked by an import-direction cycle, so a future TLS hardening fix to build_ssl_context won't automatically apply here unless the shared logic is extracted to a lower-level module.

• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_adb.py:1167 — either restore the previous 10s timeout for _adb_forward_remove, or wrap the _adb_run(...) call in a try/except subprocess.TimeoutExpired: pass so this cleanup path stays exception-free as its docstring implies.
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:519 — scope the unauthorized/offline diagnostic-reason check to states.get(self.selected) (falling back to the generic reason when self.selected is None or absent from states) instead of scanning all observed devices' states.
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/_service.py:385 — wrap the write in asyncio.to_thread(...) (or dispatch it via a background thread/queue) so _publish_oob_status never blocks the WSS event loop; optionally skip the write entirely when the snapshot is unchanged from the last publish.
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/_service.py:419 — add an is_alive() check for the USB-local static HTTPS server thread (mirroring the existing WSS thread check) to health_check().
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/launcher.py:816 — read the JSON status file's health/reason fields before gating on is_runtime_live(), so a terminal fatal snapshot (e.g. DEVICE_REPLACED) is still returned even after the runtime has stopped; only gate the "currently live and healthy" case on is_runtime_live().
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py — consider replacing the free-string state + scattered boolean flags with an explicit Enum-based state and a single _reset_browser_state() helper called from every branch that currently hand-copies the reset triple.
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_hub.py:401 — convert _handle_health_report's lastMetricsAt to milliseconds (int(state.last_metrics_at * 1000) if state.last_metrics_at else None) to match get_snapshot()'s units.
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_env.py:311 — extract the shared TLS-context construction (SSLContext + load_cert_chain + minimum_version) into a small helper in a module both wss.py and oob_teleop_env.py can import without a cycle, and call it from both build_ssl_context and start_usb_local_https_server.

Summary

Follow-up to the earlier review comment: a documentation-coverage pass over the same diff. Most of the PR is documented consistently with its file's existing style (oob_teleop_adb.py, oob_teleop_env.py, launcher.py::oob_status(), service/_service.py::_publish_oob_status(), PerformanceCanvasImage.tsx). The gap is concentrated in the new oob_teleop_lifecycle.py state machine and the new health-probe wire protocol (oob_teleop_hub.py / controlChannel.ts). None of these are blockers — flagging as nits only.

Legend: 🔍 Nit (all findings below — not vital, polish only)

	Finding
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py run() (~line 470-650) — no docstring and almost no inline comments on the single most complex/safety-critical method in the PR (~180-line recovery state machine).
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py OobLifecycle.__init__ — ~30 instance attributes with zero explanation, including a confusing pair (episode_start, monotonic clock, vs episode_wall_start, wall-clock) with nothing distinguishing why both exist.
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py _publish() — the if health == "degraded" and self._last_health in {"browser_ready", "active"}: self._restart_episode() transition rule has no comment explaining why episode-restart is tied to this specific transition.
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py _automate() — if not self.connect_dispatched: on_dispatched() is uncommented, making it read as dead/confusing code with no explanation of when it fires.
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py _observe_stream() — the freshness/after-connect timestamp math has no comment stating its expected unit (this is the same code path as the already-flagged lastMetricsAt ms/seconds mismatch — a unit comment would likely have caught it).
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py _ensure_coturn() — no docstring; the bool return value's meaning ("was restarted") is undocumented.
🔍	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_hub.py _handle_health_report() — no docstring, unlike every sibling method in the same class (get_snapshot, probe_browser, wait_for_streaming, check_token all have one-liners).
🔍	deps/cloudxr/webxr_client/helpers/controlChannel.ts — the new lastMetricsAt/metricCadences fields sit undocumented directly below a well-commented sibling field (lastStreamStatus, 3-line comment); the new healthProbe/healthReport handling block in _handleMessage also has no comment, standing out against the file's otherwise strong JSDoc density.

• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py::run() — add a short docstring summarizing the recovery loop's contract (states it can be in, what triggers a transition, that it runs forever and never raises except on DeviceReplacedError), plus a one-line comment above each major branch (WAITING_FOR_ADB, PREPARING_DEVICE, AUTOMATING_BROWSER, VERIFYING_BROWSER, ACTIVE/observe) stating what condition enters it.
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py::OobLifecycle.__init__ — add a one-line comment per attribute group (selection state, browser/connect state, timing/episode state), and specifically explain why both episode_start (monotonic) and episode_wall_start (wall-clock) are tracked.
• src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py::_publish() — add a comment above the _restart_episode() call explaining why a degraded transition from browser_ready/active specifically restarts the recovery episode.

Summary

This adds a long-lived, device-pinned OOB recovery lifecycle with USB rule rebuilding, browser health verification, status publication, and fatal-service supervision.

Targeted validation passed: 137 Python recovery/service tests and 39 WebXR tests.

Severity	Finding
🚫 BLOCKER	oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:554 — A same-headset replug restarts the recovery episode and then spends one full retry interval waiting for the second ready observation. Because every positive finite timeout/interval combination is accepted, timeout_sec <= interval_sec reaches the expiration gate before the first preparation attempt. The lifecycle then remains expired until another prerequisite changes. I reproduced this with a 1-second timeout and interval: the selected headset reconnected, but attemptCount remained zero. Restart the deadline after the readiness debounce, exclude the debounce from the deadline, or reject configurations where the timeout cannot accommodate it.
🚫 BLOCKER	wss.py:718 — If lifecycle.run() exits unexpectedly, its exception is propagated without invoking on_oob_fatal. The lifecycle stores that callback but never calls it anywhere. Consequently CloudXRService._on_oob_fatal() is unreachable, _fatal_error remains unset, and the new supervisor does not stop the runtime or preserve a fatal status. A direct failing-lifecycle reproduction produced zero fatal-callback calls. Wire the task failure through the callback and add an integration test that fails lifecycle.run().
💡 SUGGESTION	none
🧹 NIT	none

Actionables

1. Ensure readiness stabilization cannot consume an entire valid recovery episode.
2. Invoke the fatal callback when the lifecycle task fails, and cover that wiring with an integration test.

Summary

Re-review at current head (192a37efe) against my two prior review comments. Of the 16 prior findings (8 correctness/design, 8 docs), 10 are fixed and 4 correctness findings remain open (unchanged). The 9 commits added since my last review (57797be9e..192a37efe) add a coherent, well-tested "preserve the existing browser session across a transient USB disruption" path instead of always rebuilding from scratch, plus a client-side StreamPhase state machine so the host can tell "client is legitimately retrying" from "client is gone." One new blocker found in that new logic: the client-retry signal that's supposed to distinguish those two cases also resets the recovery-episode timeout, so a flaky/looping client can keep the episode alive indefinitely instead of the new bounded grace period ever kicking in.

Legend: 🚫 Blocker · 💡 Suggestion · 🔍 Nit

	Finding
🚫	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:1020-1035 (new) — during preserving_browser mode, a legitimately-retrying-but-flaky client keeps changing streamPhase/terminalEventId in the polled clients signature (~every 1s). That's not excluded from signature_changed, so it keeps hitting self._restart_episode() (line 1033-1034), which resets episode_start. The episode-expiry check at line 1038 can then never trip, so the lifecycle can spin in REBUILDING_USB/VERIFYING_EXISTING_BROWSER forever instead of falling through to a full _automate() bootstrap once the new reconnect budget/episode-grace bound is exceeded — undermining exactly the two commits ("Increase OOB client reconnect budget", "Bound client recovery grace to host episode") meant to add that bound.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/_service.py:374-395 — still open from review #1: _publish_oob_status's disk write is still synchronous on the asyncio event loop, still called synchronously from oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:214 inside async _publish.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/_service.py:420-448 — still open: health_check() still only checks _wss_thread; the USB-local static HTTPS server thread added by this PR still has no liveness check.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/launcher.py:831-832 — still open: oob_status() still unconditionally returns None once is_runtime_live() is false (if not is_runtime_live(...): return None), discarding a just-written fatal snapshot for every caller but the one CLI path that duplicates the workaround inline.
💡	src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_env.py:382 — still open: still builds its own ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_SERVER) rather than reusing wss.py:176's build_ssl_context().
🔍	oob_teleop_lifecycle.py's _handled_terminal_events and controlChannel.ts's _soft_click_keys/metricCadences are never cleared across _automate()/reconnects — unbounded growth over a long-lived process/page. Not functionally broken today, small leak worth a follow-up.

Resolved since last review (verified against current code, not re-listed above): _adb_forward_remove's cleanup timeout is back to a caught/bounded 10s (oob_teleop_adb.py:1151-1158); WAITING_FOR_ADB's diagnostic reason is now keyed off self.selected only (oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:930-947); lastMetricsAt is now milliseconds in both places (oob_teleop_hub.py:452-456); and all 8 documentation-coverage nits from review #2 are fixed (docstrings/comments added at the cited locations). The state-machine-design finding (free-form strings + scattered boolean resets, review #1 finding 6) is still open and has grown larger with this delta (now 10+ call sites) — not re-flagged as a fresh finding since it's the same standing design debt, but worth keeping in mind given the new bug above lives in exactly that reset logic.

• oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:1020-1035 — exclude client-side streamPhase/terminalEventId churn from the signature_changed check that drives _restart_episode() (mirroring how topology_changed already excludes rules/coturn via signature[1:]), so a retrying-but-not-gone client no longer resets the episode timeout.

Summary

Re-review of the latest commit (6544d9b01, "Complete bounded OOB recovery and status lifecycle") against my previous review comment. This commit resolves the 🚫 blocker I flagged and 2 of the 3 remaining 💡 findings — one by fixing it directly, two by architecturally removing the code path they lived in. Good, clean work: the USB-local static UI is no longer a second standalone HTTPS server with its own TLS context — it's now served from /client/ on the WSS proxy's existing listener (the same mechanism --host-client already used), which eliminates a whole class of "did I remember to keep this duplicate thing in sync" problems in one move. One small new nit below, nothing blocking.

Legend: 🚫 Blocker · 💡 Suggestion · 🔍 Nit

Finding

🔍

src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/_service.py:~296-311 — stop() can now raise RuntimeError if the WSS thread doesn't exit within its join timeout (previously just a warning log). Two call sites catch a different exception and call self.stop() before re-raising it (e.g. except RuntimeError: self.stop(); raise) — if stop() itself now raises, that raise never executes and the new exception becomes primary (the original is still visible via __context__ chaining, just no longer the headline exception). Also means atexit.register(self.stop) and __exit__ can now raise on ordinary shutdown if status persistence is still draining past the timeout. Likely an intentional "fail loud rather than silently proceed" tradeoff given the comment at that line, just flagging the masking behavior in case it wasn't the intent for the two except: stop(); raise sites specifically.

Verified fixed since my last review:

• 🚫 The episode-restart-via-client-churn blocker — clients signature (oob_teleop_lifecycle.py ~line 1069) now sorts only str(headset["clientId"]), dropping streaming/streamPhase/terminalEventId entirely. A retrying-but-not-gone client can no longer trip signature_changed → _restart_episode() on every phase transition. The new _observe_passive_recovery() method also replaces the old _fresh_stream_without_cdp flag-based shortcut with an explicit post-deadline probe of the existing browser, which is a cleaner way to decide "did it actually recover" than the flag it replaced.
• 💡 _publish_oob_status sync I/O on the event loop — now async def, writes go through asyncio.to_thread(self._persist_oob_status, ...), and the call site (oob_teleop_lifecycle.py:213-214) correctly checks isawaitable(publication) before awaiting, so this is properly wired end-to-end, not just moved.
• 💡 Duplicate SSLContext construction — moot: start_usb_local_https_server/stop_usb_local_https_server/usb_ui_port and the whole standalone http.server-based listener are deleted. There's only one TLS context now (the WSS proxy's), so there's nothing left to deduplicate.
• 💡 health_check() missing a liveness check for the USB-local HTTPS thread — moot for the same reason: that thread no longer exists.

Still open, unchanged (not touched by this commit): launcher.py:831-832's oob_status() unconditionally discarding a fatal snapshot once is_runtime_live() is false, and the underlying state-machine design debt (free-form-string state + scattered boolean resets across 10+ call sites in oob_teleop_lifecycle.py) from my first review.

Agent-generated suggestions, not human-vetted obligations. Skip anything wrong, already addressed, or not worth the churn.

• service/_service.py's two except RuntimeError: self.stop(); raise sites (or equivalent) — if self.stop()'s new RuntimeError should never mask the original exception at those specific call sites, catch it there and log-and-continue before re-raising the original; otherwise no change needed if surfacing the drain-timeout as the primary error is intentional.
• launcher.py:831-832 — still outstanding from review Add plugin manager API.  #1: read the status file's health/reason before gating on is_runtime_live().
