Install ID

A persistent per-install UUID that identifies a single oh-my-pi installation across sessions. Used as a stable correlation key for server-side dedup of telemetry-style pushes (currently the auto-QA grievance flush from report_tool_issue).

API

Exported from @oh-my-pi/pi-utils (packages/utils/src/dirs.ts):

Symbol Purpose
getInstallId(): string Returns the install ID, generating and persisting one on first call. Result is cached in-process for the lifetime of the runtime.
__resetInstallIdCacheForTests(): void Clears the in-process cache. Test-only — MUST NOT be called from production code.

Generated IDs are lowercase RFC 4122 UUIDs. Existing persisted values are accepted case-insensitively when they match ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$ with the regex i flag, and are returned exactly as stored.

Storage

  • Path: <config-root>/install-id — i.e. ~/.omp/install-id by default, respecting PI_CONFIG_DIR via getConfigRootDir().
  • Format: a single UUID line (trailing \n).
  • Permissions: file is created with mode 0o600.
  • Lifecycle: independent of ~/.omp/agent/. Wiping agent state (sessions, settings, DB) does NOT regenerate the install ID; only deleting the install-id file itself does.

Generation and lifecycle

  1. First call to getInstallId() reads the file. If contents parse as a valid UUID, that value is cached and returned.
  2. Otherwise the helper calls crypto.randomUUID() (Node's CSPRNG-backed UUID v4) to mint a new ID.
  3. The new value is written via open(O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0o600). The exclusive-create guard means two processes hitting first-call simultaneously cannot both succeed — the loser sees EEXIST, re-reads the winner's file, and adopts that ID.
  4. If the existing file contained non-empty garbage (failed UUID regex), it is unlinked before the exclusive create so O_EXCL does not trip on stale data.
  5. Any other write failure (read-only FS, permission error) is swallowed: the freshly generated UUID is still cached in-memory so the rest of the process sees a stable value, and subsequent process launches will retry persistence.
  6. Subsequent in-process calls return the cached value without touching disk. Mutating the file on disk after the first call has no effect until the process restarts (or tests call __resetInstallIdCacheForTests).

Consumers

  • packages/coding-agent/src/tools/report-tool-issue.ts — included as installId in the auto-QA grievance push body so the backend can deduplicate repeated reports from the same install. See dev.autoqaPush.* settings and PI_AUTO_QA_PUSH_* env vars.

New consumers MUST treat the value as opaque and MUST NOT derive PII from it; the helper does not mix in hostname, username, or any other host-identifying entropy.
