Fixes #16327

Problem

The orchestrator V2 rewrite (de3439142) dropped the expandAssistantCitationsForProvider call that ProviderService.sendTurn used to make. Since then, providers have received raw [Assistant quote](t3-citation://v1/...) links, with the quoted text and the user's comment percent-encoded in the URL.

Fix

In V2, every user text sent to a provider goes through projectComposerContextForProvider: turn start, the auth prompt-command check, and steering. That function now expands citations in the message text into [assistant-quote-N] markers plus the readable <assistant_citations> block. Attached context records are captured data, so citation links inside them reach the provider unchanged. There is no import cycle, because assistantCitations.ts only imports contracts. The provider-projection section in docs/internals/composer-context-references.md now mentions citations.

Test

A new case in composerContextReferences.test.ts covers a citation with a comment, both on its own and next to a preview-annotation reference. It checks that no t3-citation: text remains and that the marker, quote text, and comment show up. It also checks that a citation link inside an attached terminal excerpt is left as-is. It fails on main and passes with the fix. vp run check:changed is green.

Scope and approval

This fixes one bug, #16327, which maintainers triaged and reproduced on main (triage). #28075 (raw links when a message ID is over 512 characters) is a separate parsing limit and is out of scope.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 812de1d

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Provider prompts again include readable assistant quotes and their user comments instead of encoded citation links. The existing validated, escaped citation format is reused, with no additional data retrieval or persistence changes.

Walkthrough

Provider projection now expands assistant citations in text with or without context references. Tests cover citation expansion and preserve citation-like text inside captured terminal content.

Changes: Provider citation projection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Project and expand provider text `packages/shared/src/composerContextReferences.ts`, `packages/shared/src/composerContextReferences.test.ts`, `docs/internals/composer-context-references.md`	`projectComposerContextForProvider` expands citations in both projection paths. Tests cover text with and without a context reference, and verify that citation text inside captured terminal content remains unchanged. Documentation describes the updated projection behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Large cited messages may exceed the provider input limit after expansion. Enforce the limit on server dispatch before merging, or explicitly accept this bounded risk.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(server): providers read cited assistant text again" matches the main change. The PR restores citation expansion for provider-facing user text in orchestrator V2, so providers stop receiving raw t3-citation links. The title is specific, uses a conventional commit scope, and names the affected component.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections. It has a Problem section that explains the regression from the dropped expandAssistantCitationsForProvider call and the raw citation links sent to providers. It has a Change section that explains the projectComposerContextForProvider fix and the docs update. It has a Scope and approval section that links issue #16327 and its maintainer triage comment, and it states that #28075 is out of scope. It has a Verification section that names a new test, the fails-on-main and passes-with-fix results, and a green vp run check:changed run. It also includes the model and harness line that the template requests. The description does not include manual checks or a note on anything that could not be checked, and it has no UI screenshots. Those gaps are minor because the change is server-side and the test covers the behavior.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #16327 requires provider-facing cited assistant text to use readable citation expansion while persisted messages retain clickable links. projectComposerContextForProvider now calls expandAssistantCitationsForProvider for text with and without composer references. The added test verifies the marker, quote, and user comment, removes t3-citation: from projected text, and confirms citation links inside captured terminal data remain unchanged. The documented V2 projection path covers the provider-facing user text described by the PR.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within #16327. The source change adds citation expansion to provider projection. The test covers the required projection behavior and the captured-data boundary. The documentation records the same provider-projection rule. No unrelated implementation or changes for #28075 are shown.

Keep citation expansion out of context payloads.

If a referenced terminal excerpt or review comment contains a valid citation link, expansion replaces it in the provider payload and presents its comment as user-authored. Expand the message before appending the context payload. Add a focused case with a citation link inside a referenced record.

Check the input limit after citation expansion.

A message.dispatch input can fit the 120,000-character raw limit but exceed it after citation expansion. The web composer checks this, but server dispatch can reach the adapter without that check. Enforce the post-expansion limit for both turn-start and steer dispatch.

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Takeover update: merged current main into the branch with a merge commit (no conflicts). The code change is unchanged. The earlier red Check came only from Release Smoke being cancelled, so this push reruns it. vp run check:changed passes on the merged head.

Review findings:

Citation expansion inside context payloads: already fixed in aabd2bf, which expands only the message text, and the test covers a citation link inside a terminal excerpt.
Input limit after expansion: not changed here. V2 already sends context-record projections without a post-projection length check, and the web composer checks the expanded length. Adding a server-side limit would be a separate change.

verified as-is at aabd2bf3461caccb40f2759c3983299b5ce5596b on linux using the real dev web app, repository playwright dependencies, /usr/bin/google-chrome, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. no code changes.

created a project pointing at a real git worktree through the app. on github/main (934c7f8d8e), generated "Use a mutex here. Keep the channel open.", selected "Use a mutex here", clicked cite, added a comment, and sent it. codex's received user message contained the raw percent-encoded citation URL. stopped main's server before starting this exact pr head and repeated the same flow with the same text and comment.

on the pr, codex's rollout contains [assistant-quote-1] and a readable <assistant_citations> block with both the selected text and comment. no t3-citation:// URL remains. the model answered the comment and identified the expanded block.

nearby checks passed: a citation without a comment alongside ordinary prompt text; an ordinary follow-up received unchanged and answered PLAIN-FOLLOWUP-OK; persisted citation details after page reload; "go to source" highlighting the original assistant text.

runtime transcript excerpt, checked against the real codex rollout messages:

text

1	main: raw t3-citation:// URL present; assistant_citations block absent
2	pr: raw t3-citation:// URL absent; assistant_citations block present
3	citation.text = "Use a mutex here"
4	citation.comment = "Why not a channel? Report whether my latest prompt contains a raw t3-citation URL or an assistant_citations block. Quote the selected text and this comment. Do not use tools."
5	plain follow-up: "Reply with exactly PLAIN-FOLLOWUP-OK. Do not use tools."
6	citation without comment: expanded block present; comment field absent

received provider prompt excerpts

blacksmith checks passed: the two existing citation suites (59 tests), then vp run check:changed a9e709f15f825cacac1b6d665fa1920c328d68b7 (format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, and selected tests). the existing tests also cover captured context remaining unchanged. github's aggregate Check is currently failing because Release Smoke was cancelled; its log reports the other required jobs successful or skipped. this runtime verification does not claim CI is green.

before: main sends the raw citation URL

after: pr sends the readable citation block and comment

select text, cite, comment, send, and receive a real codex response

Not verified

native ios/android and the electron shell were not exercised on this linux browser run. other providers, active-turn steering, auth prompt-command checks, relay/tunnel connections, and captured terminal/preview context combined with a citation were not exercised end to end. cancelled github release smoke was not rerun. long message-id parsing and server post-expansion input-limit handling were not exercised.
