t3_thread_send with mode: "restart" always failed on a running Claude thread with Claude cannot redirect an active run. Stop it first, then send the message., while the same call on a Codex thread restarts the turn. Claude (like Pi, Muse and ACP registry agents that turn native restart off, such as Copilot) can stop a turn and queue messages, but cannot restart a turn with new input, so CommandPolicy.decideSteeringExecution rejected every forced restart.
Reproduced on main 22dc6f9e98 with a dev server on a fresh database: a Claude thread runs python3 -c 'import time; time.sleep(150)' in the foreground, and a second thread calls t3_thread_send {threadId, mode: "restart", message} on it. The call fails and the sleep keeps running. The same call against a running Codex thread returns delivery: "restarted".
message.dispatch with restart_active, on a provider that can interrupt and queue but not interrupt-and-restart, now queues the message first and stops the running turn. It reuses the path /goal already takes for "stop the turn, then run this next" (stopRunForQueuedCommand); goalStopRunId becomes queuedRunStop. The stop row reads "Stopped to send a new message"./goal./compact or /logout turns keep the existing behaviour.t3_thread_send reports delivery: "restarted" for this fallback. It reads the stop request from the send's own committed events, so a replayed send (same command id) gets the same answer.docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md describes the fallback.Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#32890
The reporter asked for exactly this behaviour: on a driver without native interrupt-and-restart, restart interrupts the turn and starts the message as the next turn.
Focused tests in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/SteeringCompletion.integration.test.ts (provider harness with interrupt and queued messages but no interrupt-and-restart):
restarts by stopping the running turn when the provider cannot interrupt-restart: fails on main with CommandPolicyCapabilityUnsupportedError: … cannot satisfy interrupt_restart_steering; passes now (stop requested, the restart runs before the older queued message).starts a restart that stops the running turn ahead of an older held queue: without the hold exemption the restart never starts (started: ["first", "second"]); passes now.reports a restart that stops the running turn as restarted: sends, then Stop, then replays the same send; with delivery read from queue state it gives ['restarted', 'queued']; passes now with ['restarted', 'restarted'].Orchestrator.ts and ThreadManagementService.ts reverted to main (12f3244e05), all three fail; the first with CommandPolicyCapabilityUnsupportedError: … cannot satisfy interrupt_restart_steering.ff0b4188ac (main merged): SteeringCompletion.integration.test.ts, ThreadManagementService.test.ts, CommandPolicy.test.ts 73/73; vp run check:changed passes.Runtime transcript, server-only (the only visible change is the stop row's text, "Stopped to send a new message", in the existing stop row), taken at 2eda81176f; later commits only merge main and edit docs: T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev on a fresh database per side, a scratch git project, real Claude Code and Codex CLIs. Thread A runs the foreground sleep(150); pgrep confirms the process before the send; thread B calls t3_thread_send {threadId: A, mode: "restart", message: "Stop sleeping and reply with just: restarted"}.

Verdict: Approved at f05d37e
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Explicit restart sends can now stop a supported running turn and queue the replacement next when native interrupt-and-restart is unavailable. The fallback is capability-gated, preserves maintenance and Stop safeguards, and leaves ordinary sends unchanged.

Explanation
The description covers the problem, the change, scope and approval, and focused verification. It includes reproduction details, links the fix to issue #32890, and reports test and runtime results, including what was not checked.
Explanation
Issue #32890 requires t3_thread_send with mode: "restart" to stop a running turn and start the supplied message next when the provider lacks native interrupt-and-restart. Orchestrator.ts implements this fallback for interrupt-capable providers that support queued messages. It gives the replacement priority over older held messages. The integration tests cover stopping and restarting, queue ordering, and stable delivery: "restarted" reporting. The MCP documentation describes the fallback. The PR summary reports a Claude runtime check and unchanged Codex behavior.
Explanation
The reported changes to Orchestrator.ts, ThreadManagementService.ts, the steering integration tests, and the MCP documentation support the fallback, its delivery result, or verification and documentation. No unrelated change is evident.

sendToThread rejects any restart/steer send with ThreadManagementNoSteerableRunError before it reaches the command receipt, so a replay in that state cannot report a delivery at all.

On the CodeRabbit outside-diff finding (ThreadManagementService.ts:895-904, replay an accepted restart before the steerable-run guard): leaving it out of this PR. The guard runs before receipt replay for every steer and restart send on main, whatever the provider, so a replay after the turn settles fails the same way on Codex today. Moving the replay ahead of the guard changes idempotency for all steer sends and belongs in its own change; this PR keeps to the restart fallback for #32890.

Honor explicit restart for /goal clear.
On Claude, /goal clear with no active goal enters the goal branch before the restart fallback. It can queue behind earlier messages without stopping the turn.

Leaving this out of the PR. A goal command takes the goal branch before the restart fallback on every provider, Codex included: by design it never joins a running turn and stops the run only when it starts or ends goal work, so /goal clear with no active goal queues on main today. Changing what restart means for goal commands is a separate decision from #32890.
@juliusmarminge Understood. I withdraw the request to change /goal clear behavior in this PR. The existing goal-command behavior applies across providers, and changing it is a separate design decision.
Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for that decision?

On the other two CodeRabbit items from the review of 0ebbb6a2f3:
Orchestrator.ts:6562-6570 (propagate a failed stop instead of returning queued): when the stop cannot be issued, the replacement message is queued and the send reports delivery: "queued", which is what happened. /goal handles a failed stop the same way. Failing the send would leave a queued message the caller was told was rejected.restart, on a driver without native interrupt-and-restart, do exactly that"), and the PR was opened by a maintainer.Actionable comments posted: 2

Document the freshContext exception.
When freshContext is true, ThreadManagementService.ts converts restart to queue without stopping the active turn. OrchestratorMcpService.ts passes this option through. Qualify the restart guarantee for this input. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Leaving as is. freshContext turning restart into a queued send is main behaviour for every provider, Codex included, and is not changed here; this paragraph only describes the provider fallback this PR adds.
@juliusmarminge Thanks for clarifying. The freshContext behavior predates this PR and applies across providers. I’ll withdraw the documentation request for this PR.

Document failed stop requests.
If dispatchRunInterrupt fails, Orchestrator.ts keeps the replacement queued and lets the active turn continue. The send reports delivery: "queued". Document this outcome so callers do not assume the turn stopped. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Leaving as is. A send whose stop could not be issued already answers delivery: "queued" rather than "restarted", so the caller sees from the response that the turn was not stopped; the doc describes the outcomes, not each failure path.
@juliusmarminge Understood. The delivery: "queued" response distinguishes this outcome from "restarted". I won’t insist on the documentation change.

Steps on both commits: start a Claude thread running python3 -c 'import time; time.sleep(150)' in the foreground; confirm the command is running; wait 25 seconds; send Stop sleeping and reply with just: restarted through t3_thread_send with mode: "restart".
Environment for both recordings: Linux, isolated real development server, fresh synthetic thread data, light theme, 1280×800 browser viewport. Identical privacy crop; captions identify the actual RPC result and its timing.
