Stacked on #12046. expo-widgets 58 exposes ActivityKit's staleDate. The relay already sets a ten-minute stale-date on every push, but the two activities the app starts locally (arming a card for local work, priming from a snapshot) had none, so a card whose relay registration never landed could look alive forever.

Locally started activities now carry the same window, and the layout reads environment.isStale: in-flight rows turn into "Out of date" with the neutral clock glyph and the header says "Agent status out of date", while completed and failed rows keep their state.

Validation: 13 AgentActivity layout tests pass, including a new one for the stale environment. Mobile typecheck clean.

Model: Claude Fable 5. Harness: Claude Code.

๐Ÿ“ Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Locally started and snapshot-primed Live Activities now receive a 10-minute stale deadline. The widget presents stale non-terminal activities as out of date while retaining completed and failed states.

Live Activity staleness

Layer / File(s)Summary
Set Live Activity stale deadlines
apps/mobile/src/features/agent-awareness/remoteRegistration.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/agent-awareness/agentLiveActivity.ios.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/agent-awareness/agentLiveActivity.ts
Local and snapshot-primed Live Activities pass a deadline based on a 10-minute stale window to AgentActivity.start. The start functions accept an optional stale date.
Render stale activity status
apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.tsx, apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.test.ts
Stale non-terminal activities use the "Out of date" status, secondary foreground tint, and stale labels. Completed and failed activities retain their existing states. A regression test covers the updated presentation.

Stale activities now visibly degrade, but the minimal view still shows the logo and the expanded view still displays an outdated active-agent count. Mergeable with owner awareness of these remaining presentation gaps.

๐ŸŸก Minor ยท Render the stale clock glyph in the minimal presentation.

apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.tsx:366-368 ๐ŸŽฏ Functional Correctness | ๐ŸŸก Minor | โšก Quick win

Render the stale clock glyph in the minimal presentation.

When an activity is stale with only in-flight rows, attentionRow, failedRow, and allDone are all false. This branch renders the T3 logo instead of clock.arrow.circlepath. Include the stale hero phase in the glyph condition.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable โ€” This changes the default iOS Live Activity lifecycle by automatically adding a ten-minute stale deadline to locally started and primed cards, along with new user-visible stale rendering. Because the behavior is automatic rather than opt-in, human review is warranted.

Notes:

  • Diff unchanged. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

No code changes detected at 3fb7cc2. Prior analysis still applies.

๐ŸŸก Minor ยท Hide the stale active count in the expanded view.

apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.tsx:373 ๐ŸŽฏ Functional Correctness | ๐ŸŸก Minor | โšก Quick win

Hide the stale active count in the expanded view.

When environment.isStale is true, this view still renders ${props.activeCount}. The banner and compact views show an out-of-date status instead. Replace this count with stale presentation so the expanded view does not present stale work as active.
