Problem

A Codex thread can report idle while T3 still considers its turn active because turn/completed was missed. The adapter ignores idle status, leaving the run and its queued messages blocked. #28028 records the deterministic protocol replay and the limits of the original incident evidence.

Change

After an idle notification, allow the usual completion notification one second to arrive. If the exact context remains active, page through turn metadata with itemsView: notLoaded until that exact native turn is found. Settle only a matching terminal result through the existing completion and capacity-retry path. This also recovers an older goal turn when a newer orphan continuation appears first in history. The lookup runs outside the notification reader, shares one ten-second deadline across its pages, and stops if the context settles. Normal completions and capacity retries avoid the read.

Scope and approval

This is a focused reliability fix for the existing native-turn completion contract. It recovers an authoritative terminal state rather than inventing a completion result from inactivity. It changes only the Codex adapter and its existing tests. The companion issue supplies the failure evidence and proposed fix for maintainers to assess; it is not a claim of prior maintainer approval.

Verification

  • Added seven replay cases: completed, failed, interrupted, still in progress, a different latest turn, normal completion during the grace period, and completion racing the read. Six failed before implementation; all pass after it.
  • Added the review regression where an original goal turn loses its completion event and a newer orphan continuation is paused/interrupted. The original turn is on the next history page. This fails on 43ccc5b and passes with pagination; only the exact original turn is completed.
  • The full adapter suite passes all 130 tests, including capacity retry cases extended with idle notifications.
  • vp run check:changed upstream/main: format, lint, both knip passes, generated GraphQL check, affected typechecks, and 131 tests pass on Windows.
  • Actual adapter replay output with turn/completed omitted: running → thread/turns/list → completed → one terminal event.
  • Maria's independent Linux web verification on unchanged d778fe3 used a real Codex app-server and real model turns. A transparent wrapper discarded exactly one real completion notification. Main remained working with a queued follow-up; this PR recovered through the metadata lookup and automatically ran that follow-up. Normal completion, user stop, and a subsequent turn also worked. The report includes transport timings, screenshots, and a recording.
  • Upstream PR checks pass on d778fe3. Both separate fork runs (original, follow-up) failed the untouched storageCleanup.test.ts case compares the checked-out branch without a full status: Git 2.56 reported gitfile does not point to a valid repository for the deliberately invalid worktree, producing failed instead of the expected kept. The Codex adapter tests, quality checks, and other fork jobs passed.

A naturally occurring lost notification remains unverified. The original long-running incident has insufficient retained diagnostics to establish that it emitted idle; this PR fixes the narrower reproduced state. A provider that remains genuinely in progress is left running. The independent live check covered Linux web and Codex; live failure, capacity, multi-page goal recovery, other clients, and other connection modes were not exercised there.

GPT-6.1 Sol through the Codex harness in T3 Code implemented and tested this change, with independent Sol design review and Sol at xhigh effort for code review.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 43ccc5b

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Recovers Codex turns left active after missed completion events by checking the provider’s terminal state after an idle notification. Matching-turn checks, bounded requests and existing serialized settlement keep the recovery narrowly scoped.

Walkthrough

CodexAdapterV2 now checks paginated native turn history when a thread reports idle. It routes a matching terminal turn through shared handling. Replay tests cover terminal statuses, turn mismatches, running turns, completion during reconciliation, and capacity-failure scenarios.

Changes: Idle-thread recovery

Layer / File(s)Summary
Shared terminal-turn handling
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts		Terminal-turn processing moves to handleTerminalTurn. It retains status mapping, interruption adjustment, capacity-retry handling, and finalization.
Idle-thread reconciliation and coverage
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts		When a thread becomes idle, the adapter waits one second and pages through native turns. It stops when the context is inactive, the turn is absent or still running, or a request times out. Tests cover reconciliation outcomes, paginated history, completion during the read, and capacity-failure replay.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Find the active goal turn when a continuation is newer.

If turn/completed is lost for a goal turn, Codex can start its next goal turn during the one-second grace period. The adapter has no goal hold yet, so it treats that continuation as an orphan and stops it. thread/turns/list then returns only the newer turn. The ID check skips the original turn, which remains active and blocks the run. Read enough history to find the still-active turn without accepting an unrelated turn, and add this sequence to the replay cases. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

✅ Addressed in commit d778fe3

AAlb1174710d ago

Fixed in d778fe3bd6. Recovery now follows metadata pages until it finds the exact active native turn, reaches the end of history, the context settles, or the single overall ten-second deadline expires. The new replay starts a goal continuation during the grace period, pauses and interrupts that orphan, then returns the original completed goal turn on the next page. It fails on 43ccc5b and passes with this fix. All eight focused recovery cases and the full changed-file checks (131 tests) pass; unrelated/newer and in-progress turns are still not accepted.

CcoderabbitaiBot10d ago

@Alb11747 The supplied code addresses this finding. Recovery follows nextCursor to find the exact active native turn, with one ten-second deadline for the full history search. It checks that the context remains active and rejects inProgress results before settlement.

The reported replay covers the newer goal continuation that caused the original failure. I have not independently run the tests.

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified the unchanged head d778fe3bd61edbf787bae1ed17a3e0acdb750996 on this linux boat vm. no source changes or pushes were needed.

i installed and ran github/main (54c5f25249961a1aa0b61932329092eadbd9d6fc) in a separate worktree, stopped that server, then installed and ran the exact pr head. each used its own empty dev database. the initial pr run used the default development-only ~/.t3/dev directory, separate from live userdata. i also repeated recovery and normal queued completion with an explicit /home/user/t3code/.t3 home and --no-seed, creating its project and messages through the web app again. playwright from the repo dependencies drove /usr/bin/google-chrome, paired through the normal web flow, added a project pointing at a real git checkout, selected codex gpt-6.1-sol, and sent real provider turns through the local proxy.

to reproduce the specific transport failure deterministically, i configured a temporary transparent codex binary wrapper through settings. it ran the real codex app-server and discarded exactly one real turn/completed notification. it forwarded all other messages unchanged and did not fabricate provider results, idle notifications, history, or model output. the application source was unchanged.

  • main: the provider returned RECOVERY_OK and reported idle. after its completion notification was discarded, the app remained working for over a minute and the QUEUE_OK follow-up stayed queued.
  • pr: the same prompts and dropped notification recovered through thread/turns/list. the response contained the exact active native turn with status: completed and itemsView: notLoaded. the queued follow-up then started automatically and returned QUEUE_OK.
  • nearby behavior: the follow-up completed normally without another history lookup. stop generation interrupted a real terminal turn, showed "stopped by user", and a subsequent prompt returned RESUME_OK normally.

Not verified

  • a naturally lost completion notification. the loss above was deliberately injected into a real provider transport.
  • native ios/android, electron, macos/windows, relay/tunnel connections, and other providers. this pass exercised the linux web client and codex path.
  • live failed-turn recovery, capacity-failure recovery, and goal continuation history across multiple pages. existing adapter tests passed, but these variants were not recreated with live model turns.
  • the proxy intermittently disconnected and retried before producing output. turns recovered within a minute; this was separate from the deliberately discarded completion notification.
