ACP agents (Grok, Kiro, Antigravity, fx and ACP registry agents) can't shorten their own conversation. Their rollbackThread therefore ends the agent session and starts a fresh one. After Edit from here, the next turn resumes that empty session and sends only the new prompt, so the agent no longer knows anything said before the edited message, even though the thread still shows it.
Reproduced on main cefb544af3 in the web app with a local ACP agent (opencode acp):
Codex in the same flow quotes the teal message.
A second defect: the resume-fallback recovery handoff also carried rewound (rolled_back) runs.
AcpProviderCapabilitiesV2 now reports providerCanRollbackConversation: false, which is accurate. CommandPolicy.ensureRollback still allows rollback for an adapter that can reset its thread (canRollbackThread) and accept handoff summaries, so ACP keeps Edit from here. Cursor and Muse still can't roll back (canRollbackThread: false).
At turn start, for providers that can't truncate natively, nativeSessionMissesKeptTurns detects a native session that was reset by rollback and holds none of the kept conversation. It fires when:
That turn then takes the existing fresh-session recovery path, with a full_thread_summary handoff and log reason native_session_lacks_kept_turns. Codex, Claude, Pi and OpenCode skip the check.
prepareRecoveryHandoff leaves out items from rolled_back runs and includes inherited fork history ahead of the thread's own items. This applies to every provider's resume fallback, so a forked thread whose native resume fails also keeps its parent's turns.
Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#30136
The web hiding Edit from here for Grok and Antigravity is a separate issue (#30137) and is not touched here.
ProviderSwitch.integration.test.ts › "gives the agent the kept conversation and not the rewound turn after $name". It has 7 cases:
The plain ACP case also checks that turn 4 makes no second recovery. With the source at main and the tests kept, 6 of the 7 cases fail. The Pi-like guard is expected to pass on main. All pass on this branch: the file runs 51/51.
ProviderTurnStartService, CommandPolicy, CheckpointRollbackService, AcpAdapterV2, AcpRegistryAdapterV2 and GrokAdapterV2 tests: 188/188. vp run check:changed passes.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — After ACP rollback, the next turn restores the kept conversation through the existing session-recovery handoff, excluding rolled-back turns. The change is scoped to conversation continuity and does not alter product defaults.

Rollback recovery now detects when an ACP native session lacks kept conversation history. Turn start can create a fresh session and send retained history, while excluding content from rolled-back runs.

Explanation
The only active direct issue is #30136. The previously reviewed implementation still detects a reset ACP session that lacks kept history and recovers with a full-thread handoff. It excludes rolled-back runs from recovery history. The incremental change also filters rolled-back attempts from sourceProviderTurns when a fork starts, so the fork does not receive turns removed from its source conversation (ProviderTurnStartService.ts). Tests cover this behavior, and the ACP documentation now describes replaying kept turns without rolled-back turns. The author reports the relevant test suites pass; I did not run them. Issue #30137 concerns separate UI behavior and is not a requirement here.
Explanation
The incremental diff includes changes with no demonstrated connection to #30136: side-chat runtime policy no longer forces approval-required mode for the context-delivery turn; OpenCode native-goal prompts now defer switched-provider history; a resume failure caused by ProviderAdapterThreadInUseError now bypasses fresh-session recovery; and the ACP documentation changes its plan/build-mode and context-meter descriptions. These changes alter separate behavior or documentation beyond the kept-history fix.
Resolution
Remove these unrelated behavior and documentation changes from this PR, or move them to separate changes. Keep the rollback-history filtering and other changes that implement #30136.
