Fixed in d915271368. PeerForwarding now loads the caller with readCaller, so every forwarded call and t3_environment_links refuse a credential without the orchestration capability here, before anything leaves. A new test calls all seven forwarded tools with a preview-only credential and checks each is refused and no bearer reaches the peer; it fails with the check removed, for the tools together and individually.

Move wait target selection into a service.
t3_thread_wait selects the local or remote implementation inside the handler. Move that selection into a domain service method, and have the handler call that method. Preserve the current local wait and remote chunked-wait behavior. As per coding guidelines, βmulti-step dispatch ... belong[s] in the service,β and a transport handler should βcall one service method.β The matching path instruction requires the same service boundary.

Not changing. Same call as the other handler-coordination threads: the handler branches once on where the thread lives. Local waits stay in OrchestratorMcpService, remote ones in PeerForwarding; a combined service would make every local wait depend on peer forwarding.
@juliusmarminge Thanks for the clarification. The handler selects the target once; local wait behavior stays in OrchestratorMcpService, and remote chunking stays in PeerForwarding. This is intentional handler coordination, not multi-step wait logic. I withdraw the finding.

| 5 | Learning: In apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/orchestrator/handlers.ts, t3_thread_wait intentionally selects local versus remote execution in the MCP handler. Local waits remain in OrchestratorMcpService, and remote chunked waits remain in PeerForwarding. This single target-selection branch is an accepted handler-coordination boundary; do not require a combined service that couples local waits to peer forwarding. |

Retrying interruptThread with the same clientRequestId after a new run starts returns that new run's ID with status: "interrupt_requested", even though the replayed stop receipt does not stop it. The response uses latestActiveRun(target) from the current projection; derive it from the original stop's stored result instead.

Fixed. The stop now reports the run its own thread.stop interrupted, read from that command's stored events, so a retry with the same clientRequestId reports the same run even if another has started since. Tested in PeerForwarding.test.ts.
I still see runId and status sourced from latestActiveRun(target) before dispatch (lines 2476β2498), not the stored thread.stop result. The current PeerForwarding.test.ts coverage also does not appear to exercise a replay after a new run starts.

When a thread has only queued messages, interruptThread returns the queued run's ID with status: "interrupt_requested" even though no run was interrupted. holdStoppedThread emits run.updated when it sets queueHeld, so this lookup mistakes a queue-hold update for an interruption; select the run from an interruption-specific event instead.
