in lastFailure produce a distinct unverified outcome rather than being treated
as stale-tunnel responses. Retry fetch failures, then throw an actionable error
after exhaustion without calling sandbox.tunnels.destroy(port); only destroy and
replace the tunnel when every relevant response is a non-matching 502 or 530.
Add coverage using persistent edgeFetchMock.mockRejectedValue(...) that verifies
no destruction occurs.

preserving the existing timeout behavior.

Thanks for the PR, @season179! 🙌 @tombeckenham will take a look. Automated pre-review checks
Automated triage — a human review follows. |
exposePreview returned sandbox.tunnels.get(port).url unchecked, so a stale cached tunnel record was re-shared as a dead URL with no error signal. Probe the port inside the sandbox first (actionable error when nothing listens), verify the tunnel URL through the edge with a propagation-aware retry window, and replace the tunnel once when the local server is healthy but the edge keeps answering 502/530. Fixes TanStack#992
…t verify it Review feedback: a fetch exception (timeout, DNS, subrequest failure) is not evidence of a stale tunnel, so it must not trigger destroy and replace. The edge probe now reports stale only when a non-matching 502/530 response was actually observed; exception-only outcomes throw an actionable error and leave the tunnel in place. Also clear the local probe timeout timer once the race settles.
…verdict Review feedback: when the replacement tunnel's probe only saw fetch exceptions, the error claimed the tunnel never became reachable and recommended restarting the dev server. Pick the diagnosis and hint from the probe verdict: unverified reports that the edge could not be verified and suggests a plain retry; the stale message is unchanged.
…straints Drop internal shorthand from the probe-race comment, explain the stale/unverified split by the evidence rule it encodes instead of restating the return type, and note why the test mocks need mockReset rather than what the setup does.

A 502/530 followed by fetch exceptions is unverified, not stale, so the retry window cannot kill a tunnel that only failed to finish probing. Also destroy a replacement that is still 502/530 so DO storage does not keep a known-dead record.

The stale-URL bug is real and covered: local probe, edge 502/530 replace, mixed 502+throw stays unverified, replacement still-stale is destroyed. Test and E2E are green.

exposePreviewreturnedsandbox.tunnels.get(port).urlwith no check. The SDK serves that record from Durable Object storage, so a dead tunnel was re-shared as a URL that answers 502 at the trycloudflare edge, with no error for the agent (#992).This PR probes the preview end to end before it returns a URL. It replaces a stale tunnel once. A 502/530 plus later fetch errors is unverified, not stale, so the probe does not destroy the tunnel.
Changes

Root cause
Issue. After a previewed process dies while the container stays warm, the next
exposePreviewcall returns the same trycloudflare URL. The user gets 502. The agent thinks the call succeeded.Cause.
tunnels.getis idempotent per port. It does not check thatcloudflaredor the app is still up.Fix. Probe inside the sandbox, then probe the public URL. Observed non-matching 502/530 with no fetch errors → one destroy and get. Fetch errors → throw and keep the tunnel.
