Error message

reconciled stale managed runtime control operations from a previous server process

What it means

Startup reconciliation log in startServer. Fires when reconcileManagedRuntimeControlOperationsOnStartup found and reconciled stale managed runtime control operations left behind by a previous server process (operationIds listed).

Solutions

  1. Informational only; stale control operations from the previous process were cleaned up.
  2. If this appears on every startup, ensure the server shuts down gracefully so operations are finalized.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: fallback

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at server/src/index.ts:825 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: Logged at startup when managed runtime control operations left in a pending state by a previous (crashed or killed) server process are reconciled.
