Problem

Related issue: N/A
Validation tasks: none

Kody's last review of #653 raised two races in the Android TV receiver. They weren't fixed before #653 merged:

  • When a phone's handoff completed, the TV granted it readiness for whichever borrowed profile was active, checked outside the identity manager's lock. A newer profile with the same server, profile and phone could pass that check.
  • When a borrowed profile expired, the background notices could reach a controller that had already completed a new handoff.

Approach

  • prepare() reports the generation it installed or reused, under its lock. The receiver grants readiness through a new RemotePlaybackIdentityManager.whileActive(generation), which runs only while that exact generation is active, under the same lock as prepare and end. Otherwise the handoff fails and the phone hears why.
  • Each expiry notice records which profile was active after the expiry. It's written only if that's still true once the connection's write lock is taken.

Validation

  • :androidTvApp:testDebugUnitTest and lintDebug pass, including a new regression test: a profile re-prepared with the same fields, or ended, can no longer be granted to the earlier attempt.
  • On emulators, a full handoff from an iPhone simulator to the Android TV still completed and played, and the iPhone kept receiving state.

Evidence

Evidence: https://evidence.siloserver.org/r/silo-android/pr-655/

Risks

None identified. A handoff that loses its profile in the moment after approval now fails with "The TV switched to another profile. Try again." instead of being marked ready for the wrong profile.

Note

Fix cast handoff to grant readiness only for the prepared profile

Handoff completion in TvSiloCastReceiver now uses the generation captured by RemotePlaybackIdentityManager.prepare, so a failed or superseded handoff ends only that generation and cannot end a newer active identity.

  • Adds onPrepared callback to prepare and a whileActive helper, so the active-generation check and readiness grant run under the identity-manager lock (RemotePlaybackIdentityManager.kt).
  • Extracts grantReadiness into a helper that records the supplied generation as the sole ready generation and returns a ResumeTokenGrant value.
  • Generalizes ControllerSession.sendIf to conditionally write any cast message under the connection write lock; state updates and expiry notifications use it.
  • Expiry handling returns early when ending the expected generation fails, and drops expiry notifications when an active identity exists at write admission.
  • Adds a test verifying whileActive rejects a replaced or ended generation.
  • Behavioral Change: completeHandoff now takes the prepared generation instead of the offer and controller id, and HandoffReady is sent only when that generation is still active; check callers of completeHandoff and grantReadiness in TvSiloCastReceiver.kt.

Macroscope summarized 58edfeb.

…ty lock

- prepare() reports the generation it installed or reused, and the
  receiver grants readiness through RemotePlaybackIdentityManager
  .whileActive, which runs only while that exact generation is active and
  under the lock prepare and end take. A newer generation with the same
  server, profile and phone no longer passes. Regression test added.
- An expired profile's notices are written only if no new handoff
  completed before the write is admitted, so a controller that already
  took a new profile doesn't hear about the old one.

📝 Walkthrough

The identity manager now reports prepared generation IDs and checks whether a generation remains active. The receiver uses these checks to grant handoff readiness and conditionally send messages.

Changes: Generation-bound cast readiness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identity generation API
androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/tv/cast/RemotePlaybackIdentityManager.kt
prepare reports the reused or newly installed generation through onPrepared. whileActive runs a block only when the supplied generation is active.
Generation-bound handoff readiness
androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/tv/cast/TvSiloCastReceiver.kt, androidTvApp/src/androidUnitTest/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/tv/cast/RemotePlaybackIdentityClaimTest.kt
The receiver captures the prepared generation and grants readiness only while it remains active. The test checks readiness for active, replaced, and ended generations.
Conditional message writes
androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/tv/cast/TvSiloCastReceiver.kt
sendIf conditionally writes messages under the connection write lock. State updates and temporary-session-expiry errors use conditional writes.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: amokster88

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to aef40

In rare timing windows during a TV handoff, a newer handoff could be torn down by an older attempt. A phone that just became ready could also receive a stale session-expired message. Both are narrow and easy to fix, so the change is mergeable with awareness of these follow-ups.

🟡 Minor · End the prepared generation, not the currently active one, on the… · TvSiloCastReceiver.kt:866

androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/tv/cast/TvSiloCastReceiver.kt:866
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

End the prepared generation, not the currently active one, on the superseded path.

This PR now records preparedGeneration. Line 866 still guesses the generation from identityManager.activeIdentity. prepare() releases the identity mutex before finishPendingHandoff(pending) runs. A newer offer's prepare() can then install its own generation in that gap. This attempt would then end the newer handoff's identity instead of its own. The window is short, but the fix is local. It also matches the PR's goal of binding each step to the generation this attempt prepared. end(generationId) already returns false when that generation is no longer active.

🐛 Proposed fix
                     if (!ready.reused) {
-                        identityManager.activeIdentity?.let { identityManager.end(it.generationId) }
+                        preparedGeneration?.let { identityManager.end(it) }
                         refreshAdvertisement()
                         reconcileAuthorization()
                     }

- Around line 1225-1230: Update the identity-ending flow around
identityManager.end and the subsequent after generation lookup: capture the end
result, retain refreshAdvertisement and reconcileAuthorization only when it
succeeds, and return before iterating notified sessions when ending fails and
another active generation exists. This ensures sendIf does not emit expiry
notices after a replacement identity is installed.

If a handoff replaced the borrowed profile while the expired one's player
was stopping, the expiry guard took the replacement as the profile to
compare against, so the phone that had just taken over could still hear
temporary_session_expired. Notices now go out only when this expiry ended
its own profile, and each is written only while no new profile is active.

A superseded handoff now ends the generation it prepared rather than
whichever one is active.
