fix(builder): unlock BYOK passkey on the click, not mid-send by jherr · Pull Request #1220 · TanStack/tanstack.com

jherr · 2026-09-05T03:56:39Z

Saved BYOK keys could stall Builder sends because the passkey unlock started too late in the send pipeline. Jack traced the failure to expired browser user activation.

Fix

Start unlock from the shared submission handler, for both composer messages and preview comments.
Block duplicate submissions and composer/model edits while unlock is pending.
Discard pending submissions after a conversation, credential scope, or model change. Restore preview comments when unlock fails.
Only clear the composer when it still contains the submitted message.
Separate local transcript hydration from synced-project updates. Local hydration previously retriggered itself and kept Send disabled.

Testing

pnpm test: passed, including type checks, lint, and 478 passing tests, with one skipped test.
node scripts/test-builder-passkey-submit.mjs: passed against a local dev server. It uses an isolated browser and a fake encrypted key to check duplicate submission, disabled editing during unlock, and draft preservation after cancellation.
Jack's original investigation covered fresh-click versus delayed unlock in Dia/Safari. The automated browser check mocks the passkey ceremony, it does not test 1Password itself.

Companion SDK change

TanStack/ai#1332 adds the failed-activation error for existing keyrings while preserving first-time registration's follow-up PRF ceremony.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Prevented duplicate submissions while passkey unlocking is in progress.
- Ensured the submission continues with the provider selected when unlocking begins.
- Disabled the composer, submit button, and model picker during passkey unlocking.
- Preserved draft text when a passkey unlock is canceled.
- Prevented outdated in-progress unlocks from affecting newer conversations, credential scopes, or model selections.

Passkey-encrypted BYOK keys are decrypted with a WebAuthn get() ceremony. Safari and Dia only show that prompt while transient user activation is fresh (right after a click); they silently suppress it otherwise and the call never resolves. The unlock ran deep in the async send pipeline, past the activation window, so the prompt never appeared: the send stalled and users saw "1Password isn't picking it up" with no way forward. Run the unlock in the submit handler, on the click, before any awaits, and bail if it stays locked. The send pipeline then finds the key already unlocked.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The builder now manages passkey unlocking as an explicit submission state. It prevents duplicate unlocks, invalidates stale unlocks when context changes, preserves drafts after cancellation, disables relevant controls, and adds an end-to-end browser test.

Changes

Builder passkey submission

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Unlock lifecycle and hydration control `src/components/builder/BuilderAssistant.client.tsx`	The builder tracks an active unlock, invalidates pending submissions when key context changes, and separates project-sync and non-projectSync hydration effects.
Passkey unlock and instruction dispatch `src/components/builder/BuilderAssistant.client.tsx`	`submitInstruction` performs the unlock, blocks duplicate attempts, checks the submission generation, and enqueues valid instructions. The composer, submit button, and model picker are disabled during unlocking.
Draft preservation and end-to-end validation `src/components/builder/BuilderAssistant.client.tsx`, `scripts/test-builder-passkey-submit.mjs`	Composer clearing now requires matching submitted content. The browser test validates disabled controls, cancellation behavior, draft preservation, and a single passkey call.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4b663

Passkey submission is functionally guarded, but users may lose composer focus after unlocking. This is a bounded usability and accessibility issue suitable for owner awareness or follow-up.

Address review: while the passkey unlock is pending the composer stayed active, so a repeat submit could double-queue and a mid-await model change could target the wrong provider. Track an in-flight ref, read the provider once, and surface unlock failures in the composer instead of aborting the send silently.

Addressed both CodeRabbit findings in 541af78:

Major (async unlock window): added an unlockingRef in-flight guard so a repeat submit during the pending passkey ceremony is ignored, and read provider once before the await so a mid-await model change can't retarget the unlock.
Minor (silent abort): on the still-locked path, set error ("Could not unlock the API key. Try again.") instead of returning silently.

Kept it to the re-entrancy guard rather than fully disabling the model picker during unlock, to keep the diff minimal. test:tsc and lint:code pass.

Consider readOnly instead of disabled for the composer.

disabled removes the textarea from the focus order. The browser moves focus to <body> when the unlock starts, and focus is not restored after the unlock settles. readOnly blocks edits, keeps focus and the caret, and still lets the guards in submitInstruction reject a repeat submit.
