Found from the live bot log: after the user scans the QR, Baileys
receives `pair-success`, logs "pairing configured successfully, expect
to restart the connection...", and then closes the websocket with
status 515 (DisconnectReason.restartRequired) so it can reopen with
the new credentials. The next `open` event finishes the pairing.
The previous code path treated ANY close during pairing as a failure:
it parked the row as `unpaired`, wiped the QR, and emitted
session.timeout to the UI. The user was greeted with "Pairing timed
out — The QR window closed before a device was linked" at the exact
moment they had successfully paired.
Three changes:
- session.ts emits `restartRequired: boolean` on the SessionEvent close
payload (true when reason === DisconnectReason.restartRequired).
- pair-handler treats the restart-required close as a no-op: keeps the
listener attached and the DB row in `pending` so the upcoming `open`
event flips it to `connected`.
- session-manager always reconnects on restart-required (250 ms after
the close — no `lastConnectedAt` gate, no 5 s back-off).
Pure helpers (`pair-state.ts`) updated to model the new branch:
- decideOnPairClose returns null when restartRequired (don't touch DB).
- shouldAutoReconnect returns true on restartRequired regardless of
whether the account has ever connected before.
Tests (+1; 26 bot tests, 104 web tests = 130 green):
- pair-state.test.ts gains explicit cases:
* restart-required close → null
* shouldAutoReconnect always true on restart-required (incl.
first-time pair, where hasEverConnected is false — the exact
case that broke in production).

bot/src/ipc/pair-state.ts (NEW)
Pure helpers for the pairing-lifecycle decisions, lifted out of
pair-handler so the rules are testable without Baileys / Postgres:
- decideOnPairClose({ current, loggedOut })
- decideOnPairTimeout({ current })
- shouldAutoReconnect({ loggedOut, hasEverConnected })
bot/src/ipc/pair-state.test.ts (NEW, 7 tests)
Locks in the regressions we just fixed:
- Non-loggedOut close from `pending` MUST settle as `unpaired`
(the row used to stay `pending` and disappear from the overview).
- logged_out close → `logged_out`.
- pair-window timeout parks still-`pending` rows; ignores rows
that already moved on.
- Auto-reconnect only kicks in for accounts that have been linked
at least once — guards against the 5-second QR refresh loop on
a fresh pair.
web/src/components/accounts-list-view.test.tsx
+ Test that the overview renders accounts in transient states
(pending, unpaired, disconnected) alongside connected ones — the
`pending` row was being hidden by listAccounts before this fix.
Bot: 24 tests passing (+7).
Web: 99 tests passing (+1).
