Problem

Picking a skill from the composer while a Codex turn is running sends it with turn/steer. Codex loads skills only on turn/start, so the steered $skill reaches the model as plain text: a skill with policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false is never invoked and the model concludes it is not installed. Reproduced on main (f6d3700ac3) in the web app with a real Codex 0.163.0 session: start a turn running sleep 45, pick $zebra-probe (explicit-only) from the skill menu and send it as a steer. Codex records it as a plain user message in the running turn and injects no <skill> block.

Sending a typed { type: "skill", name, path } item with turn/steer does not help either: driving codex app-server directly, the model answers "zebra-probe isn't an available skill in this session".

Change

  • The Codex adapter checks a user's steer for mentions of enabled skills (skills/list for the turn's cwd). If one matches, it refuses the steer with requiresNewTurn instead of sending turn/steer. Agent messages and delegated results keep steering as before. A skills/list failure falls back to a plain steer.
  • ProviderTurnControlService passes the flag on, and the effect worker reuses its existing "steer missed the turn" fallback, so the message is re-dispatched and runs as its own next turn, where Codex injects the skill.
  • In the orchestrator, a re-dispatched steer goes first in the queue, since it was meant to run before anything queued. It does not release a queue that Stop held, and if Stop reached the run it was aimed at, it waits held even after that run ended.

Scope and approval

Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#9317

Triaged via the automated issue flow.

Verification

Focused tests (all fail on main or without the matching change, and pass on this branch):

  • CodexAdapterV2.test.ts, "steering a skill mention": an enabled skill mention is not sent with turn/steer and fails with requiresNewTurn; echo $PATH and an agent-sent $zebra-probe still steer.
  • SteeringCompletion.integration.test.ts: the refused steer queues behind the running turn and starts as the next turn; a steer that raced Stop stays held (behind a queued message, alone, and after the stopped turn ended); a promoted ("Send now") message that cannot steer goes first in the queue.
  • 655 tests across the 28 orchestration test files that touch held queues, steer fallbacks and dispatch modes pass; vp run check:changed passes on 6f3a5703ad.

Runtime check in the real web app (dev server, real Codex 0.163.0, fresh databases, same steps on each side). Captures were taken but could not be uploaded from the test machine, so the Codex rollout events are below.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Explicit Codex skill requests sent during a running turn are routed into their own turn, with bounded skill lookup and queue/Stop handling. The outstanding ordering finding remains subject to the separate correctness gate.

Walkthrough

When a user steer mentions an enabled Codex skill during an active turn, the adapter marks it as requiring a new turn. Orchestration carries that requirement into queue handling, including when Stop races with the steer.

Changes: Codex Skill Steering

Layer / File(s)Summary
Detect skill mentions during active turns
packages/provider-core/src/server/ProviderAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts
ProviderAdapterSteerRunError can include requiresNewTurn. The Codex adapter checks user-authored steer text for enabled skills and returns that error when a match is found. Tests cover user and agent mentions and ordinary $ text.
Carry the new-turn requirement through orchestration
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnControlService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EffectWorker.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts
The control service propagates requiresNewTurn, and the worker accepts it for follow-up dispatch. The orchestrator queues redispatched steers with Stop-aware blocking and queue positioning.
Validate queued steer and Stop behavior
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/SteeringCompletion.integration.test.ts
Integration tests cover waiting for active work, Stop races, queue holds and order, and promotion of a queued message when the provider requires a new turn.

Merge Risk: External image Low · up to 65de8

Skill mentions sent during an active turn now run as their own turn. In a narrow case involving delegated-completion redispatches, queue ordering can be slightly off. This is a small ordering fix to make before or shortly after merge.

Explanation

The description includes all required sections. It explains the problem and reproduction, the cross-component fix, the linked issue and triage status, focused verification, runtime results, and untested areas.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR satisfies the coding requirements in [#9317]. CodexAdapterV2 checks user-authored steers for enabled skills in the active turn working directory. It returns requiresNewTurn instead of sending turn/steer when a skill mention matches. The existing redispatch path starts the message as a separate turn, where Codex loads the skill. Focused adapter and orchestration tests cover skill steering, fallback behavior, queue dispatch, and Stop races.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within [#9317]. ProviderTurnControlService, EffectWorker, and Orchestrator propagate and schedule the required new-turn fallback. The related tests verify ordering and held-queue behavior. No unrelated change is established by the supplied PR evidence.

Add a timeout to the skills/list lookup in steerTurn.

mentionsEnabledCodexSkill awaits client.request("skills/list", ...) without a timeout. Effect.orElseSucceed handles failures but does not handle a request that never settles. The provider-turn.steer effect can remain blocked in the worker.

Map the timed-out optional result to false so a successful lookup with no matching skill remains a plain steer.

requiresNewTurn is a control-flow discriminator, not diagnostic metadata: the worker uses it to redispatch rather than handle a steer failure. The service error convention requires a separate tagged error for this distinction. Please represent the new-turn requirement with its own error class and preserve that distinction through the control service and worker, retaining the existing caller-visible messages.

Redispatch loses a skill-steer when the skill list is empty or the check is racy

The detection depends on skills/list for the current turn cwd. A timeout or failure returns false. The message is then sent through turn/steer as plain text. This is the documented fallback. It silently reintroduces the original bug (skill not loaded) on slow or failed lookups. The user gets no signal.

Consider logging a warning when the check times out or fails. This makes the fallback observable.

Exclude automatic-completion runs from steersAhead.

A redispatched mailbox steer can have a queued run and a user_message item. It counts in steersAhead, but stopRunForQueuedCommand excludes it from others. An ordinary queued message can therefore move ahead of a later redispatched user steer.
