Account Switcher Bug Analysis & Slow Turn Investigation
Analysis of why account switch didn't trigger orientation turn and why turns were slow
Output
🔍 Account Switcher Bug Analysis
🐛 Critical Bug Found
The auto-orientation turn never fires after account switch because of a function name mismatch:
// layout.ts:384 - Checks for: if (typeof window.sendPrompt === 'function') { window.sendPrompt(orientationPrompt, true); } // dashboard-console.ts:694 - But actually defines: window.sendPromptToConsole = api.submit; // ↑ Note: "sendPrompt" !== "sendPromptToConsole"
Result: The check for window.sendPrompt always returns false, so orientation never triggers.
📊 Timeline Analysis
| Time (AEDT) | Event | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 8:43:20 | Switch 20x → 5x | API OK |
| 8:43:20 | Orientation turn | SKIPPED |
| 8:46 | User asks "What account is this?" | Manual |
| 8:46 - 8:49 | First turn runs | 316s! |
| 8:55:22 | Switch 5x → 20x (back) | API OK |
⏱️ Performance Issue
Recent slow turns (last 24h):
| Duration | Work Time | Tools | Account |
|---|---|---|---|
| 321s | 321s | 23 | 5x |
| 316s | 312s | 10 | 5x |
| 301s | 301s | 28 | 5x |
The 5x account turns were not inherently slower - the slowness is Claude exploring the codebase without CLAUDE.md context. Without the orientation turn, Claude doesn't know about the project and spends 5+ minutes discovering what's in /konnectvol.
✅ The Fix
One-line fix in konui/src/views/layout.ts:384:
- if (typeof window.sendPrompt === 'function') { - window.sendPrompt(orientationPrompt, true); + if (typeof window.sendPromptToConsole === 'function') { + window.sendPromptToConsole(orientationPrompt);
Note: sendPromptToConsole doesn't support the fresh parameter. May need to add window.startFreshSession() call first or add that parameter to the API.
📋 Why 5x Claude Didn't Know the Codebase
- No orientation turn = No CLAUDE.md read
- Without CLAUDE.md context, Claude had to discover:
- What services exist
- Where configuration is stored
- What the account switcher even is
- This explains the 5+ minute turns - pure codebase exploration
- The 5x account itself isn't slower - it just lacked project context
