Part of cross-environment orchestration. A thread can now move to a linked environment with its conversation (#16731) and its git work (#16734), with exactly one copy live.

How a move goes

  1. Departing. ThreadHandoff marks the thread departing with the internal thread.handoff.update command. The orchestrator refuses message.dispatch for it, and startNextQueuedRun starts nothing on it.
  2. Pack. It packs the branch and working tree with HandoffGit.
  3. Upload. It uploads the bundle through the other side's signed attachment route, using a forwarded t3_attachment_prepare_upload plus a POST.
  4. Import. It calls t3_thread_import there. That tool now takes the bundle, applies it in a new worktree, and only then creates the thread with the history and a continuation prompt. If the import itself fails, the worktree is removed.
  5. Departed. The thread here is departed and read-only, with the other thread's id. A send is refused with OrchestratorThreadMovedError ("This thread moved to Box. Continue it there.").
  6. Failure. Any failure marks the move failed with the reason. That state takes turns again, and nothing is left on the other side.

The agent moving its own thread ("I need to wrap here, move this to my VPS")

  • t3_thread_handoff with no threadId moves the calling thread. The link and the target project are checked right away, so a bad target fails while the agent can still say so.
  • The move waits as pending until the agent's turn ends. Then the thread there starts with the agent's continuationPrompt, so it picks up where it said it would.
  • Any message to the thread after the asking turn started cancels the move, because new instructions win. That includes a message steered into that same turn, and one from an agent the user works through.
  • A startup sweep finishes moves that a restart cut short. Import ids derive from the handoff, so a retried move finds the thread already there.

Surfaces

  • MCP: t3_thread_handoff.
  • WS RPCs: threadHandoff.options (where the thread can go, with reasons when it can't), threadHandoff.start and threadHandoff.cancel. The UI comes in the next PR.
  • Docs: "Continue a thread on another machine" in docs/user/remote-access.md, and the one-live-copy invariant in docs/internals/remote.md.

Verification

  • peer/handoff/ThreadHandoff.test.ts runs two real orchestrators. The box sits behind its real /mcp, OAuth and upload route; the laptop is linked to it. Each has a real clone of the same origin. Three tests:
    • The move. The laptop thread, with an unpushed commit, an uncommitted edit and a new file, moves. options lists the box with its matching project. On the box, the thread has the history, its first provider turn carries the laptop's question plus the continuation, and its worktree is on fix/login with the commit, the edit and the file. On the laptop, the thread is departed with the box's thread id, and a new message is refused with "moved to Box".
    • A diverged branch. When the box has its own commit on the branch, the move fails with the git reason. The laptop thread is failed and takes a new turn. No thread exists on the box.
    • Self-handoff. Turns are held open with a queue. Asked mid-turn, the move is pending. An agent message steered into that same turn cancels it once the turn ends. Asked again with nothing after, a settle while the turn still runs leaves it pending; when the turn ends it departs, and the box's first turn is the agent's continuation prompt.
  • Mutation-checked: each of these fails its test when removed:
    • refusing turns on a departed thread;
    • cancel-by-user;
    • waiting for the turn to end;
    • releasing on failure;
    • sending the git work;
    • the continuation prompt.
  • Also ran all of mcp, peer and cli, plus RpcAuthorization, ThreadImportService, ThreadManagementService, ProjectionStore, Orchestrator, the V1 cutover integration and shared t3McpToolPresentation (50 files, 485 tests), and contracts rpc, orchestrationV2 and orchestratorMcp (45 tests). All passed. Server, contracts, client-runtime, web and mobile typecheck clean, and lint is clean on the changed lines.

End-to-end run, two real servers

Two t3 serve processes from the top of this stack, each with its own data directory, on one machine. A laptop (port 3971) and a box (port 3972). Their projects are clones of one bare origin, so they share a repository. An outside agent (OAuth with a pairing code) drives the laptop's /mcp, and real Claude Sonnet 5.5 turns run on both sides. The last part repeats the run over Tailscale HTTPS (a *.ts.net HTTPS address).

  • Move with git work: see #16734. It ended departed with the new thread id, and the box ran the continuation prompt.
  • The copy left behind is read-only: a later t3_thread_send to it is refused.
  • Deferred self-handoff: a real agent created notes.md, then was asked "hey i need to wrap here, can you move this to my box?". It called t3_thread_handoff with whenTurnEnds. The handoff went pending (08:58:24) → departing (08:58:26) → departed (08:58:28) exactly as its turn ended. Its last reply on the laptop said the move would happen when it finished. On the box, the continuation appended to the uncommitted notes.md, which now reads "started on the laptop / continued on the box".
  • Cancel: an agent asked to move, and a message was steered into the same turn. The move was cancelled, the thread stayed (handoff: null), and it replied "STAYING".

Three bugs found and fixed in this PR:

  1. Project matching had the same cold-cache identity bug as #16719. The test now uses the real RepositoryIdentityResolver on real clones instead of a stubbed identity.
  2. A send to a departed thread failed with only "Failed to dispatch orchestration command message.dispatch (…)". It is now a typed OrchestratorThreadMovedError whose message the agent sees: "This thread moved to cups. Continue it there."
  3. A message steered into the turn that asked for the move did not cancel it. The check compared against the run's start and ignored agent-sent messages, while the e2e message came from an outside agent (an orchestrator acting for the user). Now any message after the asking turn's start cancels the move. The test steers an agent message into that same turn. CapturingCodexAdapter now reports a held turn as running, so steering can target it.

CI also flagged chained Effect.provide calls in the test, now merged into one layer.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds thread handoff between linked environments. Handoff transfers conversation history and, when available, Git work. Handoff states track progress, pending moves, cancellation, failures, and destination import.

Changes

Thread handoff

Layer / File(s)Summary
Handoff contracts and thread state
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadMessageIntake.ts		Adds handoff states and commands to the contracts. The orchestrator updates handoff state, blocks queued work during active handoffs, and rejects messages to departing or departed threads.
Destination bundle import
apps/server/src/peer/handoff/HandoffImport.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadImportService.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/project/*, apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.ts, apps/server/src/peer/PeerLinks.testkit.ts		Adds bundle validation and worktree creation for imports. New-thread imports use the prepared workspace and undo it if thread creation fails.
Handoff lifecycle and recovery
apps/server/src/peer/handoff/ThreadHandoff.ts, apps/server/src/peer/handoff/ThreadHandoff.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/CapturingCodexAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts		Adds destination selection, transfer, pending-move settlement, cancellation, and startup recovery. Integration tests cover successful transfer, refusal, and handoff during an active turn.
RPC and MCP entry points
apps/server/src/auth/RpcAuthorization.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/orchestrator/*, apps/server/src/ws.ts, packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts, apps/server/src/observability/RpcInstrumentation.ts, packages/shared/src/t3McpToolPresentation.ts, docs/internals/remote.md, docs/user/remote-access.md		Adds MCP and WebSocket RPC entry points for handoff, with authorization scopes and instrumentation labels. Adds tool presentation and handoff documentation.

237-259: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Move bundle application from the MCP handler into ThreadImportService.

The t3_thread_import handler now does more than decode, call one service method, and map errors:

  • It captures a context of five services.
  • It composes HandoffImport.applyBundle, which runs git work and attachment cleanup.

applyBundle also builds HandoffGit.layer inline. That hides a service dependency inside the function.

Let importThread take bundle directly. ThreadImportService.make can then yield HandoffGit and the config services from its environment, and layer can provide them. A WebSocket or CLI caller then gets the same behavior.

As per path instructions: "A transport handler does three things: decode the request, call one service method, and map the service's typed errors to the transport's error." The same document says dependencies come "from the environment (yield* FileSystem.FileSystem), never as parameters to make."

Use one Schema.TaggedError class for ThreadHandoffError. The contract defines this error as a plain struct and repeats it as an inline TaggedStruct in three RPCs. Because of this, the transport builds object literals that drop cause. The repository rules require Schema.TaggedError classes, and a wrapping error must keep its immediate cause.

Make undo also undo the branch change, as the doc comment says.

The doc comment says the worktree and branch are undone if the import fails. undo only runs git worktree remove --force.

HandoffGit.apply can create refs/heads/<branch> or fast-forward an existing branch. If the thread write fails afterwards, the branch stays created or advanced on the destination.

Do one of the following:

  • Have apply return its rollback effect, and use that effect as undo.
  • Correct the doc comment.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not mark the move failed when the import may have succeeded.

forwarding.call(t3_thread_import) can import the thread and start its continuation on the destination, and the response can then be lost (timeout or connection drop).

In that case this code marks the source failed, and the source takes turns again. The destination copy is also running. Two copies are live.

A new start generates a new handoffId, so the import idempotency key does not protect this case.

When the failure is a transport or ambiguous error, keep the thread departing. A later settle or the restart pass can then retry with the same handoffId, which the destination replays. Mark failed only on errors that are certain to have rejected the import, such as invalid_request or a pack failure.

Bound the startup event subscription.

start_ scans the snapshot, then subscribes to threads.streamStoredEvents. Orchestrator.ts documents that this stream replays the entire store from genesis. The downstream filter still decodes every event, and settle can read projections for every historical terminal run.

Capture the global latest sequence before the snapshot scan, then use threads.streamStoredEventsFrom({ afterSequence: latest, eventType: "run.updated" }). Expose the global sequence through ThreadManagementService if needed. Do not use getThreadEventSequence(threadId) for this subscription because it is scoped to one thread. Keep the terminal-status filter.

Start the queue after a move is cancelled.

startNextQueuedRun (Orchestrator.ts Line 1274) returns early while the handoff is pending.

Consider a user who queues a message during the asking turn:

  1. The turn ends.
  2. handleTerminalRun calls startNextQueuedRun, which returns without starting the queued run.
  3. settle then clears the handoff here.

Nothing calls startNextQueuedRun again, so the queued message waits until the next restart. Whether this happens depends on which of the two listeners runs first.

After a thread.handoff.update commit that clears or fails the handoff, call startNextQueuedRun in dispatchWithReceiptEffect (Orchestrator.ts), as queue.resume does.

Settle the move once after writing pending.

busy is read before the lock. The turn can end between that read and the pending write.

If its terminal run.updated event reaches settle first, settle sees no handoff and returns. The move then stays pending until another run ends or the server restarts. During that time startNextQueuedRun blocks the queue.

Call settle(input.threadId) right after setHandoff. settle is idempotent and returns while the turn is still live.

Move the moved-thread guard into dispatchMessage.

The guard runs only for top-level message.dispatch commands. Some paths call dispatchMessage directly and skip it:

  • dispatchPullRequestWatchSync (the PR watch wake).
  • The async-answer path of dispatchRuntimeRequestRespond.

Nothing in the move ends the thread's PR watches. Consider a departed thread that still has a watch. The next watch sync dispatches a queue_after_active message. No run is active, so the message starts a turn here. The thread is then live in two environments, which breaks the "exactly one copy live" invariant.

Do one of the following:

  • Put the departing/departed check at the top of dispatchMessage.
  • Make the departing transition end the thread's PR watches, as thread.archive does.

Add the supported handoff options to the start RPC payload.

ThreadHandoff.start accepts whenTurnEnds and continuationPrompt, but this payload declares neither field. A typed WebSocket client cannot request a handoff after an active turn or supply a continuation prompt. Add both optional fields to the schema. The handler already forwards the input.

Effect TypeScript DateTime makeUnsafe invalid string throws official documentation

💡 Result:

1Yes. In the current official Effect `DateTime` source, `DateTime.makeUnsafe` is for trusted input: it accepts strings parseable by `Date.parse` and throws an `IllegalArgumentError` if construction fails. For untrusted strings, use `DateTime.make`, which returns `Option.none` for an unparseable string instead of throwing. ([github.com](https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect/blob/main/packages/effect/src/DateTime.ts))

Cover event construction with worktree cleanup.

createdAt accepts any string, and DateTime.makeUnsafe can throw while historyEvents is built, before EventSink.write starts. The current tapError cannot run in that path, so the applied worktree can remain without an imported thread.

Cover the full post-workspace creation path with cleanup, including event construction, and use fallible date validation or typed error handling. A startContinuation failure occurs after the thread event is committed and is not this orphaned-worktree path.

docs/user/remote-access.md:248-262 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the unsupported destination-link claim.

After t3_thread_handoff succeeds, the server stores the destination threadId and marks the original thread as read-only. The current web and mobile clients do not consume this cross-environment handoff state or render a destination link. Users therefore cannot follow the documented link from the original thread.

Tell users to commit and push oversized changes before retrying.

If uncommitted tracked or untracked changes exceed 50 MB, pushing the existing branch does not remove them from the handoff. HandoffGit.pack creates a snapshot after the push and includes that snapshot in the bundle, so the retry can fail with too_large again.

Could this handoff mechanism also support a copy-and-launch path directly from the New Thread / thread selector UI?

Today the selector can choose another environment only when the project already exists there. A useful extension would be: when the project is present on the source environment but missing on the selected target, offer Copy project and launch here. That flow could reuse the Git/worktree transfer already being built in this PR, then create the target worktree, run the target environment's setup, and start a new thread while leaving the source thread and checkout intact.

The UI should make the scope explicit: launch at an exact commit, or include the current uncommitted working tree. It should also show preparation progress and verify the target fingerprint, while using the target's own Git credentials and preserving existing target files. This would cover the common case of wanting the same project on another node without first doing a manual checkout.

Would that fit this handoff work, or should it be tracked as a follow-up built on the same transfer primitives?

Linux desktop → Mac, same repo cloned on both, with the Linux machine shutting down after the move: is that a supported flow? In particular, does the Mac need to be linked from the Linux side, the Mac side, or both? Thanks for working on this.

JJulius Marminge4d ago

Batch sidebar-threads-18 assessment: blocked; no code pushed. This layer is based on the unmerged handoff Git stack (t3code/peer/handoff-git), so rebuilding its dependencies is outside this batch. I confirmed depart handles every import failure by writing failed, and that state accepts local turns; a lost/undecodable response after remote import commits can therefore leave two runnable copies. A new start allocates another handoff ID, so it does not reconcile the uncertain import.

Human next steps: bring the dependency stack to its intended base, keep an ambiguous import in a non-runnable state, and reconcile/retry the destination import using the same durable handoff ID before releasing the source. Verify a dropped response after remote commit, disconnect/reconnect, and process restart against two linked machines, including self-handoff and source read-only enforcement. Existing same-machine two-server evidence does not prove these failure cases. No merge or dependency PR changes made.
