Item 18 of the enumeration, which I had deferred as "clears nothing durable".
That was wrong, and the review's reading of runtime-auth-sync is right.
`readManagedOauthAccount`'s null is the third disjunct of the test that decides
whether Orca restores the user's system default before dropping a managed
selection. `runtimeOauthAccountMatches(null)` is false, so a failed read did not
cause a wrong restore -- it caused NO restore, while the
`updateSettings({ activeClaudeManagedAccountId: null })` a few lines later ran
regardless. The runtime kept holding the managed account's credentials with
nothing in Orca pointing at them: not a wrong undo, a missing one.
It is also not a rare corner. The disjunct only decides when the account is
unchanged AND `hasMaterializedRuntimeAuth` is false, and the service constructor
seeds `lastSyncedAccountId` from persisted settings without materializing -- so
that is the state of the FIRST sync after every app start with a selected host
managed account, and the oauth identity is the only evidence available.
The read is now tri-state, and an indeterminate one defers the whole transition:
neither the restore nor the clear. Deferring rather than restoring-anyway is
deliberate -- `restoreSystemDefaultSnapshotForMissingManagedCredentials` consumes
the same oauth value for its own ownership checks, so running it on a failed read
would degrade exactly the checks that decide what is safe to overwrite. Malformed
JSON stays dispositive: that is a completed observation of the file.
The two teardown blocks were byte-identical once both used the hoisted read, so
they are now one method, and the selection-clearing helpers moved to their own
module to stay under the line cap.
