feat(refresh_unity): return console errors with the refresh#1371lgarczyn wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Callers refresh to find out whether their code compiled. Across our multi-agent usage 501 of 618 refreshes were immediately followed by an identical read_console asking for errors, one wasted round trip each. Hand the errors back instead. console_errors is only filled when the call actually waited for readiness; otherwise the compile has not finished and the console would be stale.

ChangesRefresh recovery and console error reporting
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change returns Unity console errors from refresh operations, including reconnect recovery, so callers can detect compilation failures without a separate console read; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

When compile="request" triggers a domain reload the connection closes mid-command,
so the tool response is never received. The recovery path then returned a synthetic
success carrying only {"recovered_from_disconnect": true}, throwing away whatever
the tool would have reported.
In our usage that is the common case, not the edge one: 474 of 618 refreshes take
this path, so any data refresh_unity returns is invisible to the caller almost
every time.
The lost payload cannot be reconstructed, so ask again once the editor is ready.
compile stays "none" on the re-read so it cannot trigger a second reload (CoplayDev#577),
and a failed re-read falls back to the previous response rather than turning a
recovered refresh into an error.

_reread_payload_after_reconnect so it only re-reads the payload when
wait_for_ready is true; when false, skip the second request and return the
contract-required null console payload without populating console_errors.

…out of waiting The re-read blocks until the editor is ready and asks for console_errors, both of which wait_for_ready=False explicitly declines. Recovery now returns the bare response in that case.

Description
A session that calls
refresh_unityalmost never wants to know that the refreshhappened. It wants to know whether the code compiled. So it refreshes, then immediately
calls
read_consolewithtypes=['error']— 501 of 618 refreshes in one project'shistory do exactly that.
This makes
refresh_unityanswer that question itself, in both halves of the system:console_errorsfield holding what the follow-upread_consolewould have returned.The second half is not a nice-to-have.
compile="request"triggers a domain reload,which closes the connection mid-command, so the response is never received. The recovery
path correctly treats that as success but returns only
{"recovered_from_disconnect": true}— the whole payload is dropped.compile != 'request'compile == 'request'Without the Python half, the C# half reaches the caller in 87 of 501 cases.
Type of Change
Changes Made
MCPForUnity/Editor/Tools/RefreshUnity.csconsole_errorsin the success payload, populated only when the handler actuallywaited for readiness — otherwise the read would race the compile.
{error: ...}, nevernull. A null there would read as"compiled clean", which is the one wrong answer this must not give.
Server/src/services/tools/refresh_unity.py_reread_payload_after_reconnect(): once the editor is ready again, re-sendrefresh_unitywithcompile="none"so the re-read cannot itself trigger a seconddomain reload (High performance impact even when MCP server is off #577).
recovered_from_disconnectbranch merges that payload into its response.recovered_from_disconnect: trueis still set, so nothing keyed on it breaks.refresh into an error. Recovery is strictly non-regressing.

Additional Notes
The disconnect is timing-dependent and does not reproduce on demand — repeated forced
recompiles mostly kept the connection alive. The recovery branch is covered by two tests
rather than a live capture.
Worth checking whether other long-running tools lose their payload the same way. Anything
that triggers a domain reload goes through this path.
