fix(server): keep fork history stable across repeated source rewinds#30044
A fork made after a source rewind must exclude discarded turns, and later source rewinds must preserve the history the fork already inherited. Caller-supplied creation times cannot establish that boundary: equal timestamps drop inherited rows, while a backdated fork resurrects discarded rows. Relates to #30030 and the repeated-rewind limitation in #29695.
Persist source-run membership when the committed thread.created event is projected, using the source projection at that point in server event order. Reapplying the event preserves the original membership. Full projections, activity timelines, bounded SQL reads, shell counts, and portable provider handoffs use that membership instead of wall-clock comparisons. Native-provider adapters and client contracts are unchanged.
Migration 81 reconstructs existing forks from retained lifecycle events and server sequence numbers. If pruning already removed the evidence needed to order a rolled-back run against its fork, the migration excludes that uncertain run and freezes the result. It cannot recover information that older builds already deleted. Imported runless history remains supported.
Validation:
- Added equal-timestamp and backdated-fork regression cases to the existing history test. Both failed before the implementation: 303 expected rows became 3, and a previously discarded message reappeared.
- Focused projection, rollback, fork execution/service, portable handoff, provider-start/control, and migration tests pass, with
--maxWorkers=1. vp run check:changed refs/t3-modernize/30044/rework-base --concurrency 1passes.- A standalone runtime transcript against an isolated SQLite file verifies all five history readers and portable handoffs before/after rewind, after create-event reapplication, and after closing/reopening the database. No dev server, paid provider turn, or main display was used.
Model: gpt-6.1-sol (xhigh). Harness: Codex in T3 Code.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at 86f541a
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This keeps fork history stable across repeated source rewinds by applying creation-time filtering consistently to history reads and counts. The change is limited to read-side selection, with no data deletion, migration, or product-default change.

Forks now persist the source run IDs eligible for inherited history. Projection, timeline, snapshot, shell-count, and handoff-history reads use that membership. Migration 81 backfills membership for existing forks.

Note
🤖 GPT-6.1 Sol responding on behalf of voltcrash
Keeping the existing regression for the repeated-rewind case. sourceRun2Id is discarded before laterForkId is created; sourceRun3Id is completed at fork creation and discarded afterward. Its 300 items must stay inherited, while run 2's messages must stay absent. The 303-row assertions deliberately check that distinction across projection, timeline, bounded snapshot, and shell counts before and after the second rewind. This test fails on #29695 specifically after that second rewind.
The newly linked browser captures independently confirm the same behavior with real Codex Luna turns: the later fork retains alpha/charlie after rewinding charlie in the source, and the earlier control fork retains alpha/bravo. The head remains 86f541a177; only verification evidence was added to the PR description.

thread.forkaccepts a caller-suppliedcreatedAt, and the new filter treats that wall-clock value as the ordering boundary. A skewed value can make an already rolled-back run appear in inherited history or make a later rollback remove history that existed when the fork was created. The strict millisecond comparison has the same failure when fork creation and a later rollback receive equal timestamps.Store a server-owned persisted order marker when the fork is committed, and compare rollback order against that marker in all of these readers. Preserve the existing timestamp behavior for historical forks that do not have the new marker.

native electron, ios/android, other providers, and remote/relay/tunnel connections were not exercised on this linux web pass. cancelled queued prompts were covered by the existing focused tests, not a real-provider queue scenario. caller-supplied clock skew and equal-millisecond fork/rewind ordering raised in the discussion were not exercised; this pass proves the sequential web-client flow.
