Reverting to a Claude message hidden by compaction used to save an unusable resume cursor. Forking can recover that message, but Claude rewrites the fork's UUIDs, so replacing the native session alone also loses earlier rollback targets.

Read the instance's resumable history through the existing isolated history worker. If a nonempty chain omits the target, fork the original session at that message and validate the recovered head. Preserve the provider-thread identity and persist retained turns' source sessions using the preceding schema layer. Earlier rollback and native forks continue to address the original UUID in its original session, including after restart and a second compaction. An empty recovered fork or a missing saved source fails before publishing the rollback. Initial active-session empty/error lookups retain their existing fallback.

Stack companion: #21598.

Rebuilt from @elmarbeckmann's #17430, which identified the SDK fork fallback. The replacement keeps earlier-turn rollback instead of discarding it. It adds no client-specific behavior or database migration.

Verification at this head:

  • vp test run for ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts and CheckpointRollbackService.test.ts: 308 pass / 2 fail before the implementation → 310 pass. Later missing-source and relative-home assertions each failed before their respective fixes and pass with them. Main had 305 cases; the original PoC's four new cases were rebuilt as five shared-fixture behavioral cases. No extra case was added for the review fix.
  • The real SDK and production worker read/fork synthetic transcripts. Tests assert exact resumed content, codec roundtrips, runtime recreation, earlier rollback, new turns, a second compaction, native fork and custom-home isolation. The query process is faked. The 19 unchanged rollback-service tests pass; no SQL projection integration was added.
  • Server typecheck, changed-file lint/format and git diff --check pass. Existing lint warnings remain. One unrelated background-wake timeout in an initial run did not recur on an unchanged full rerun; the reviewer also reran all 310 successfully.
  • vp pack succeeds. Source, npm worker and npm hidden-command dispatch each recover the exact four-message prefix, fork an earlier source target, isolate an empty instance home and leave the source/parent environment unchanged.
  • Real Claude CLI, loopback mock only: the original hidden cursor fails before any model request. The recovered fork and new cursor send exactly four retained history messages plus the follow-up to a local mock and complete its synthetic response. The same proof passes with absolute and relative Claude homes. No real account or external model request was used.
  • Four full independent review rounds (claude-opus-5-5 and gpt-6-sol). Fixed the missing saved-source failure, made the Electron worker flag explicit, and bounded history worker waits to 30 seconds through the existing error path, and matched the worker cwd to the session so relative Claude homes resolve correctly. Deferred the pre-existing ordinary native-fork home issue, optional map compression and cleanup of unselected SDK forks.

Nonvisual server behavior; screenshots do not apply. Not verified: the full web/server rollback UI, real subscription/model turns, native single-executable artifact, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android or Electron desktop. Historical source transcripts must still exist to revisit their checkpoints; confirmed-missing sources now fail explicitly. A thrown initial lookup retains the compatibility fallback. Unmerged; maintainer review and native/account verification remain.

Implemented with gpt-6.1-sol through Codex in T3 Code; tests by gpt-6-astra, reviews by claude-opus-5-5 and gpt-6-sol.

Current review gate: Macroscope correctness passes, but its approvability check requires human approval for persisted session lineage and child-process history operations. CodeRabbit confirmed the worker timeout fixed; Macroscope’s relative-home finding is fixed; current-head correctness and CodeRabbit checks pass, with no unresolved threads. The schema base also has an unresolved web CI failure. This stack is not ready until those gates clear.

Final published head: b2996ac. All current adapter CI jobs that ran passed; the earlier cancelled fingerprint job is superseded by its successful replacement. Macroscope correctness and CodeRabbit pass, with no unresolved threads. Human approvability and the schema base’s web CI gate still block stack readiness. The optional request to reject thrown initial saved-source lookups was declined: a worker error does not prove the source is absent, and the explicit compatibility fallback is retained; confirmed empty saved sources already fail.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This is a substantial runtime change to Claude rollback and forking, adding isolated history-worker processes, automatic transcript recovery, and persisted per-turn session lineage. The broad tests reduce risk, but the cross-process and persisted-state behavior warrants human review.

📝 Walkthrough

The Claude adapter retrieves transcript message IDs and selects source sessions associated with provider turns. Rollback can fork a session when its nonempty history does not contain the requested cursor, then resume from the fork’s latest message.

Changes: Claude transcript rollback

Layer / File(s)Summary
History operations and query runner
apps/server/src/claudeHistoryWorker.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.testkit.ts
The query runner runs history operations in a child process with a 30-second timeout. The worker returns message UUIDs. Fork operations can use a supplied environment.
Rollback and fork session selection
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts
Rollback selects the target turn’s recorded session when available. If the cursor is absent from nonempty history, rollback forks through the cursor and resumes from the fork’s latest message. Fork operations select the session recorded for the requested turn when available.
Rollback and query-runner tests

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a timeout to the history worker call.

history waits on spawner.string(...) with no time limit. Rollback calls it through sessionMessageIds (Line 9563 and Line 9599). Rollback also calls forkSession through history when environment is set. Rollback runs these calls after it closes the live query at Line 9522. If the worker stalls, for example on a slow or locked transcript read, rollbackThread never returns, and the provider thread stays blocked.

The nearby lifecycle code bounds its waits. closeLiveQueryForNativeThread uses a 10 s limit, and stop requests use 2 s and 15 s limits. The initial lookup at Line 9563 already turns a ClaudeAgentSdkQueryRunnerError into the old cursor fallback. If a timeout fails with that error, a hung lookup falls back the same way. A hung fork or fork-head lookup then fails the rollback instead of blocking it.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @juliusmarminge

Fixed in 2e9c8c8: both worker operations now have a 30-second Effect timeout with the actual history method preserved in ClaudeAgentSdkQueryRunnerError. Initial discovery retains the existing fallback; fork/post-fork validation fails before rollback publication. The spawner owns scoped child cleanup. All 310 focused tests, server typecheck and scoped lint/format pass. A fresh full review round found no substantive defects.

@juliusmarminge Thanks. The supplied code confirms that the shared history helper bounds both worker operations with a 30-second timeout and preserves the history method in the error. Initial discovery retains its fallback. Fork and post-fork validation failures stop rollback before publication. This addresses the finding.

🟠 High Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts:805

When CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is relative, sessionMessageIds reads from the server process's working directory instead of the session's home, so it can miss the compacted history and persist the still-hidden resume cursor during rollback. The history worker is spawned without a cwd; pass the session dir through to it and use that as the worker's cwd.

The history worker is spawned without a `cwd`; pass the session `dir` through to it and use that as the worker's `cwd`.

Fixed in b2996ac. The shared worker helper now uses the supplied session dir as its cwd, matching the query process for discovery, recovery fork, recovered-head lookup and saved-source native forks. The existing compacted case now uses a relative Claude home: it failed before this fix (309/310 pass), then all 310 pass. Absolute-home control and real CLI loopback proof with both absolute and relative homes pass. Both fresh full reviews found no substantive defect.

🟡 Minor · Fail rollback when the saved source lookup fails. · ClaudeAdapterV2.ts:9565-9605

apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts:9565-9605 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fail rollback when the saved source lookup fails.

When sourceSessionId is a saved rollback session, sessionMessageIds errors become null. The code then keeps resumedSessionId and resumeSessionAt, so rollback publishes the saved session with an unvalidated cursor. If the error comes from an unavailable transcript or history-worker failure, the next resume can fail with that persisted session and cursor. Keep the current fallback for errors on the active native session, but reject errors for saved source sessions.

  • fix(server): use session cwd for Claude history workersb2996ac

The outside-diff suggestion to reject thrown initial saved-source lookups is declined for this change. A transient worker failure does not establish that the saved transcript is absent; initial lookup errors retain the compatibility fallback. Successful empty saved-source lookups do fail before file restoration or state publication. Both independent fourth-round reviewers checked this distinction. Current-head tests and CLI mock proof pass; the remaining human approvability and schema CI gates remain documented.
