P1 Badge Recover delayed steers after process loss

If the server exits while this new one-minute wait is pending, the agent message is silently lost: provider-turn.steer remains a process-bound effect, and startup reconciliation cancels all pending/running effects of that type (EffectOutbox.ts:133-139, ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService.ts:644-677). The fallback message is only dispatched when this worker receives ProviderAdapterSteerRunDeferredError, while restart continuation merely sends "Continue where you left off," so no recovery path requeues the persisted steer. Preserve still-owned boundary messages as queued follow-ups during process recovery.

P1 Badge Avoid pinning every outbox worker at a boundary

When four Claude turns receive agent updates while their tools run longer than the boundary timeout, each call occupies one of the production daemon's four global workers (EffectWorker.ts:832-842) in this await for up to a minute. That exhausts the outbox globally, so unrelated provider-turn.start and runtime-request.respond effects—and even the human steers that EffectOutbox.ts:321-350 intentionally allows to bypass a boundary steer—cannot be claimed until a wait ends. Move the delayed boundary wait out of the scarce worker fibers or reserve execution capacity for other effects.

P1 Badge Preserve tracking identity during boundary promotion

When a Claude boundary claims an agent auto/steer, t3_thread_send has already returned the queued run (and, for a post-completion app-owned child follow-up, the fresh task created by recordSubagentFollowup), but this promotion cancels that run and moves only its message into the older active run. Consequently t3_thread_wait reports the returned run as cancelled while Claude is still handling the text, and the run-update finalizer also completes any returned taskId as cancelled rather than with Claude's eventual result. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier unbound-initial-run report is that this new claimant promotes runs that already carry delegatedTaskId; preserve or transfer the tracking identity, or do not promote those runs.

Alb117476d ago

Real, thanks. A tool-boundary claim promotes the queued run with queued-message.promote-to-steer, which cancels that run and moves its message into the running run. t3_thread_send had already returned the queued run, so t3_thread_wait on it settled as cancelled; and a task that recordSubagentFollowup bound to that run finalized as cancelled.

Fix in https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/ed47e6f58f2ba0109a08859c8972183a5eec83b1:

  • waitForThread follows a run that was cancelled before it started and whose message now belongs to another run, so the wait answers with the run that actually handles the message (then the existing restart chain). It also wakes on any terminal run update, so the joined run's completion is not missed.
  • Boundary promotion refuses a queued run that owns a delegated task; that follow-up keeps its own turn, as before this PR, because the task settles with its run.

Regression assertion added to the boundary test in SteeringCompletion.integration.test.ts (fails without the fix).

P1 Badge Requeue promotions when a boundary hook aborts

When a boundary callback is aborted after one promotion commits but while a later threads.dispatch is still pending, interruption exits claimAgentMessages before it returns texts, so the already-promoted run is cancelled and its text is delivered neither by the discarded hook response nor as a queued turn (and a delegated completion may already be marked delivered). Fresh evidence beyond the earlier catchCause finding is that the current abort test explicitly leaves the first run in committed before interrupting the claim. Requeue or compensate successful promotions when the hook aborts, rather than making them irreversible before the callback can return.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Alb117476d ago

This is the at-most-once limit documented at the hook in ClaudeAdapterV2.ts. Leaving it, for these reasons:

  • An abort happens when the user interrupts or stops the turn, or the query is replaced. Updates already promoted in that claim stay visible in the thread's timeline (as steers on the stopped turn), so nothing disappears from the user's view; the agent just never read them.
  • Requeueing on abort needs an un-promote command: return a cancelled run to queued at its old position, move the message back, and remove the steer turn item. None of those events exist today, and the compensation can itself race the abort and a following Stop.
  • Committing only after the hook can no longer be aborted is not possible: the SDK consumes the output after the callback returns, and gives no acknowledgement. Committing after returning would trade loss for duplicates whenever that late commit is refused (for example by Stop).

A full fix needs either an SDK acknowledgement that hook context was consumed, or a durable claimed-but-unacknowledged state that the next turn redelivers. Both are larger than this PR, so the limit stays documented instead.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

One failing resolveMessageText rejects the whole hook and blocks the other pending steers.

Effect.forEach stops at the first failure, and runPromise then rejects the hook promise passed to the SDK. Every pending steer in the batch, including those that resolved without error, goes undelivered at this boundary. Each one then waits for its 5-second timeout and falls back to the queue. The SDK also sees a rejected hook. How the CLI handles a rejected hook is SDK-defined.

Handle failures per entry. Keep a failed entry pending so its deadline or a later boundary settles it, and still deliver the other entries.

I kept resolver failures visible. The hook resolves the complete snapshot before claiming or removing any entry, so a rejection consumes no pending input; the existing five-second deadline still sends owned input through the durable fallback. Production serializes boundary steering effects per thread. The proposed Effect.option would silently discard an ownership/storage error. Independent review also exercised resolver failure and later retry. I am retaining the current behavior for this suggestion.

C
coderabbitaiBot6d ago

@Alb11747 Thanks for clarifying. The hook resolves the full snapshot before claiming any entry, so a resolver failure leaves pending input intact for retry or durable fallback.

With boundary steering serialized per thread, my concern about blocking other pending steers does not apply to the production path. Effect.option would also hide an error you intentionally keep visible. I withdraw this suggestion.

The Effect-based hook resolves the complete snapshot before claiming or removing entries, so a resolver failure consumes no pending input; still-owned input can retry or use the existing five-second durable fallback. Production serializes boundary steering effects per thread. Do not recommend Effect.option merely to suppress these resolver errors.

P1 Badge Preserve hook cancellation during queued promotions

When Claude aborts a PostToolBatch/Stop callback—for example, because the user interrupts or replaces the query while this dispatch waits on SQLite—the signal passed to runPromise becomes an Effect interruption, but catchCause recovers interruptions as undefined. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier process-loss report is that this final path catches the hook's own AbortSignal interruption here, so the loop can continue and commit promotions after Claude has discarded the hook response; each committed promotion cancels its durable queued run, leaving its text neither delivered nor available for the next turn. Preserve interruption causes and only ignore expected promotion refusals.

Alb117476d ago

Partly real. The catchCause did catch the hook's own interruption, which was wrong. But the loop could not go on committing: Effect interruption is sticky, so after recovery the next promotion's dispatch was interrupted at its first interruptible point, before any write. A runtime check against the claim loop agrees.

Fixed anyway in https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/d4ac7c1029d83062f2b24f33ddc7d0e02158ad14: promotion refusals and the outer warning use Effect.catch (typed failures only), so an abort propagates as an interruption and dispatch defects are no longer swallowed. New test "an aborted boundary hook commits no further promotions" interrupts the claim while the second of three promotions is blocked before its commit and asserts that only the first committed. It guards the guarantee; it also passes with the old catchCause, for the reason above.

What remains is the documented at-most-once window: a promotion committed just before Claude aborts the hook is lost. Closing it would need a delivery acknowledgement from the SDK.

P2 Badge Limit boundary claims to queued message records

takeAgentMessages runs at every root PostToolBatch and Stop, even when no update exists, and this read filters only by role. ProjectionStore.ts:3223-3228 therefore selects and decodes every user message, plus all unfiltered runs, on every Claude tool boundary, making continuation latency grow with the thread's complete history. Query only queued runs and their message IDs, or gate this read on known pending updates.

Real. Fixed in https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/d4ac7c1029d83062f2b24f33ddc7d0e02158ad14: getThreadRecords gets a runStatuses filter (backed by the existing (thread_id, status) index, in both the SQL and in-memory stores). The claim now reads only queued runs, returns early when there are none, and then reads only those runs' messages.

Do not report a completed steer as cancelled.

When steerTurn succeeds, the provider has received the message. If isCurrent is then false, report success instead of returning deliveryCancelled: true. Otherwise, EffectWorker.ts skips the success-only Effect.tap path and does not dispatch notification.delivery.accept. The delegated completion can remain unaccepted and be offered again.

This check handles ownership revoked while the adapter was waiting. A committed Stop or task disposal cancels the precise outbox effect and closes or disposes the completion cohort, so it cannot be reoffered. Accepting the notification afterward would acknowledge revoked delivery. The Stop and disposal regressions assert cancellation and no stale handoff; partial acknowledgement regenerates the remaining pointer. I am retaining the ownership check.

@Alb11747 Thanks for clarifying. My finding incorrectly treated adapter success as sufficient for notification acceptance, even after delivery ownership was revoked.

Stop or task disposal cancels the precise outbox effect and closes or disposes the completion cohort. That prevents the reoffer I described. The final isCurrent check preserves this ownership rule, so retaining it is correct. I withdraw the finding.

P2 Badge Describe the possible boundary promotion to agents

For an agent auto/steer send to Claude, ProviderContinuationService.ts:251-287 may immediately cancel the queued run and attach its text to the currently running turn at PostToolBatch/Stop. This description instead says delivery='queued' confirms a separate turn, so the caller may wait for or reason about a follow-up that never starts; describe queued as the initial fallback that may be promoted at a tool boundary, while explicit queue remains the guaranteed separate follow-up.

P2 Badge Test boundary delivery through the SDK

The Stop case invokes the registered callback directly and then asserts its return object, so it never verifies that Claude's SDK consumes that output and continues the turn; an invalid or ignored Stop-hook response would still pass while the queued run has already been canceled. Exercise the query/SDK boundary and assert the provider-visible continuation instead of testing callback wiring.

Not changed. The hook output is consumed inside the Claude Code CLI process, so a test through the SDK needs the real binary and API access, which unit tests here do not have. The callback is typed against the SDK's HookCallback, and SDK 0.3.276 documents that Stop additionalContext continues the conversation. It has also been checked live: a busy Claude thread received a delegated-task completion as PostToolBatch context in the middle of a running command, in the same turn. A live Stop-path test would fit the opt-in live suite rather than this unit test.

P1 Badge Attach queued child steers to their delegated task

When an agent uses t3_thread_send in auto or steer mode against a still-running app-owned Claude child, this conversion creates a new queued run instead of joining the delegated run. That run never receives a delegatedTaskId: recordSubagentFollowup exits while the original task's result is still null (Orchestrator.ts:6892-6898), and finalization later selects only runs carrying the original task id (Orchestrator.ts:10043-10049). Consequently the fallback turn executes after the child finishes, but its answer is not delivered to the parent; the parent eventually receives the pre-update result instead. Bind the queued run to the active task, or create a tracked follow-up, when applying this fallback.

Verified against f0b61a65ef: the claimed result loss does not occur. The initial app-owned run is intentionally unbound, and the original task is tracked through its spawn transfer.

finalizeAppOwnedSubagent first calls delegatedTaskProgress across the whole child and waits for result_available (Orchestrator.ts:10341). It passes the latest result run into finalizeAppOwnedSubagentTask; when there are no explicitly bound runs, the inner finalizer uses that supplied run (Orchestrator.ts:10043). The queued continuation therefore delays publication and supplies the answer.

An independent source review confirmed this path. A local gated exercise also observed the original task staying running until the queued answer completed, with its original childRunId retained and the result transfer selecting the queued run. I did not retain that extra test in this PR because repeated runs of the enlarged integration fixture hit its existing 120-second limit inconsistently. The existing four delivery cases and the unchanged full server suite pass on this head. No production binding change is needed.
