fix(server): reject archiving threads with active turns#23451
Problem
An agent calling t3_thread_organize with {"action":"archive"} and no threadId archived its own thread while its turn was running. On Claude, detaching the provider session then failed the turn with “The provider event stream closed unexpectedly”; the captured tool item remained running.
Change
Reject archive commands while a run is starting, running, or waiting, before emitting archive events or detaching provider sessions. Return a clear instruction to stop the turn before archiving. Existing queued and preparing-work cancellation stays intact.
Scope and approval
Fixes #15135
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. This is a focused server lifecycle fix shared by RPC and MCP callers, with no contract or provider-adapter changes.
Verification
- Red on main: the three
rejects archiving a thread while a run is %scases failed because archive succeeded for starting/running/waiting runs. - Before merging main: 86 runtime-layer tests and 234 control-read/MCP tests passed. Targeted lint/format completed with no new findings; an existing unused
layerUnavailablewarning remains. - After merging main at a51b8d220f:
vp test run src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts -t 'rejects archiving|cancels preparing work on archive' --maxWorkers=1— 4 passed, 82 skipped. - Real web client against an isolated Linux development server: Claude and Codex archive calls return the actionable refusal, both threads stay unarchived, and both turns complete. Runtime proof is from 491622c835; both changed files are identical in the merge head.
- Two independent reviews returned MERGE; final proof audit returned SUFFICIENT.
| Evidence | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Self-archive runtime | Main transcript: archived, then Claude failed 33 ms later | Fixed transcript: actionable refusal; unarchived; Claude and Codex completed |
Runtime proof and reproduction commands. Proof matrix: empty visual matrix because no rendering paths changed; its pass-1 pending status is superseded by the completed runtime proof. The before tool state is the captured observation; it was cancelled later.
Limits: macOS/Electron and native mobile were not verified. Server typecheck was interrupted under VM resource pressure. A broader post-merge test run stalled and was interrupted; the focused post-merge checks above passed. Earlier provider-startup/cancelled attempts are disclosed in the runtime proof and excluded from successful evidence.
Models: Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1-Sol; Claude Code and Codex harnesses in T3 Code.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at a51b8d2
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This focused bug fix prevents archiving from detaching provider sessions during active turns, while preserving cancellation of queued or preparing runs. Production logic is limited to the archive command and is covered by tests for starting, running, and waiting states.

An archive retry may fail without telling the caller to stop the turn first. This is a bounded error-message issue that can be fixed or accepted before merging.

Explanation
Issue
#15135requires that self-archive during an active turn either waits or returns a clear refusal. The PR rejectsthread.archivewhen a run isstarting,running, orwaiting, before archive processing. The refusal instructs the caller to stop the turn first. Tests cover all three statuses and verify that the run status and unarchived thread state remain unchanged. The supplied verification also reports passing focused tests and successful Claude and Codex runtime checks.

Explanation
The changes are limited to the archive guard in
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.tsand tests inapps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts. The guard directly addresses issue#15135. The tests support that behavior. No unrelated provider, contract, or client changes are shown.

Verified the receipt path: reusing a rejected command ID loses the string cause for all existing OrchestratorDispatchError guards, including the adjacent already-archived and unarchive guards. The archive callers use fresh command IDs: MCP calls newCommandId(), and web/mobile allocate a UUID per command. The first MCP refusal preserves the full cause through dispatchFailure, as the runtime transcript demonstrates. Keeping this bounded fix focused on preventing live-session teardown; changing rejection receipt and transport semantics belongs in a separate follow-up.
