Fix: Account Selector Uses Persisted File as Source of Truth
Fixed account selector mismatch by using persisted active-account.json on startup
Output
š§ Account Selector Fix
Problem Identified
The account selector showed Blueboy as active but konsole was actually using Meichtry as active. This happened because:
Two separate state systems: āāā /konnectvol/.konsole/active-account.json # Persisted file (UI source) ā āāā activeAccountId: "blueboy" ā āāā account-sessions.ts initializeSessionManager() āāā Defaulted to: "meichtry" # First in CLAUDE_ACCOUNTS array
Root Cause
initializeSessionManager() was called without an argument, so it defaulted to the first account (meichtry) instead of reading the persisted file.
Fix Applied
// Before (broken) await initializeSessionManager(); // After (fixed) const persistedActiveAccount = getActiveAccountId(); await initializeSessionManager(persistedActiveAccount); // Also broadcasts startup system event: broadcastSystemEvent(config, { type: "service_start", message: `Konsole started with active account: ${persistedActiveAccount}`, });
Data Flow (Now Correct)
Startup: .konsole/active-account.json ā getActiveAccountId() ā initializeSessionManager(accountId) ā āā broadcastSystemEvent() # Timeline shows which account is active User switches account: UI tap ā /api/konsole/accounts/switch ā setActiveAccountId() ā persistActiveAccountId() ā āā broadcastSystemEvent("account_switch")
Verification
- ā
Tests pass:
account-sessions.test.ts(40 steps) - ā Type check passes
- ā

ā ļø Restart Required
To apply this fix, konsole must be restarted. After restart, the account selector will correctly show Blueboy as active (matching the persisted file).
