The launcher drops RPC sessions idle >30s (easily hit while the operator sits
in the install dialogs), but a dropped socket still reports Connected until an
I/O fails. InstallProductWorker then skipped its reopen, streamed the archive
on the fresh out-of-band connection, and died on the first progress poll —
and the install-completed handler registered launch entries without checking
e.Error, so AddApp's disconnected-guard exception crashed the whole console.
- PodInfo.EnsureConnectionAlive: probe an "open" connection with a Ping and
reconnect when it is dead; used by the install and uninstall workers.
- SiteManagement.PodInfo_InstallProductCompleted: register launch entries only
on success, and surface registration failures as the row's Install Failed
state instead of an unhandled exception.
- Regression test pins the premise + recovery against vPOD's launcher server
(stale socket reports open, Ping exposes it, reconnect restores service).

vPOD now also impersonates the pod's TeslaLauncher service, so the console's
Manage Site works against it unmodified:
- LauncherRpcServer: ILauncherService over OFB + framed JSON on TCP 53290,
mirroring TeslaLauncherService (concurrent sessions, out-of-band install
zip on a second connection, the 99%-not-100 completion convention).
Packages extract to %LocalAppData%\vPOD\Games; postinstall.bat is logged
but never executed.
- PodProvisioning: pod side of SecureConfig (RQST beacon, RPLY decrypt, RSA
session-key exchange), display-only — never touches the NIC/registry. The
console's Configure flow mints the key exactly as for a real pod; console
Reconfigure (ClearStore) drops the key and re-enters beacon mode.
- VirtualLauncher: installed-app registry (persisted), simulated launch PIDs,
volume, install progress; console Shutdown/Restart power-cycles the pod.
- Form gets a Launcher/Site Management column (passcode display, RPC status,
install progress, app list, Reprovision); Power Off darkens the launcher
side too; new -nomanage flag disables it.
vPOD references the shared Tesla.Contract/Tesla.SecureConfig projects (server
side of the existing contract only, no new RPCs). Loopback tests drive the
real PodManagerConnection and PodConfigurationServer against the new code
(VPodLauncherServerTests, VPodProvisioningTests) — suite now 99 green.
