Why

License-return cleanup reused the broad transient-error pattern intended for activation and builds. That caused ambiguous messages such as "Access token is unavailable" to trigger exponential retries, even though repository diagnostics show the same message after a successful return and alongside permanent failures.

Change

  • Retry a return only for Unity's explicit TimeoutPolicy did not complete timeout.
  • Keep the broader retry handling for activation and build paths.
  • Add a regression case that proves an ambiguous access-token message performs one return attempt.
  • Regenerate embedded CLI assets.

Verification

  • pwsh -NoProfile -File scripts/test-licensing-steps.ps1
  • bun test ./src/model/embedded-assets.test.ts
  • PowerShell parse check for both return scripts

The Bash behavioral suite could not run locally because Bash is unavailable in the Windows environment.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a shell regression test for an editor return failure with an unavailable access token and no success marker. The test checks that the output is not classified as transient and that the editor runs only once despite a four-attempt retry limit.

Changes

Licensing return retry behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test ambiguous return failure retry handling
scripts/test-licensing-steps.sh
Adds a test that checks the ambiguous failure does not trigger transient-retry reporting and that the editor is called once.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 30c1e

The intended timeout retry behavior is not directly protected across the changed platform scripts; add coverage before relying on this regression fix.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 30c1e

The change narrows automatic license-return retries without expanding access or authority. The remaining uncertainty is whether an unsuccessful return with ambiguous diagnostics can leave a license seat held and require manual recovery.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The directly affected shared state is the license seat being returned by an existing job. An unsuccessful Personal-seat return can affect subsequent runs on the same Unity account; this account-level availability consequence already exists and is not evidence that the PR introduces a seat leak.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The four production-script diffs change retry-classifier declarations and explanatory comments, plus a final newline in the Windows host script. They do not change credential sources, return-command arguments, route selection, or authorization checks. The selected test range introduces a local editor stub, not a new production public entrypoint.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Ubuntu lifecycle dispatch is unchanged: cleanup is armed after successful activation, runs before activation-directory removal on the normal path, and uses an in-process guard set before return begins. That guard suppresses repeated calls within the shell; it does not itself confirm server-side completion or provide durable cross-process recovery.

695-700: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a positive return-timeout retry case.

The current case tests only Ubuntu and only the non-retry path for an ambiguous failure. It never reaches the changed TimeoutPolicy did not complete branch. Add a fixture that emits only this timeout and assert four editor calls with the retry limit set to four. Add equivalent execution coverage for the macOS and Windows copies in their platform-native test paths; the existing pattern-parity check does not detect platform-specific retry regressions.
