Problem

A follow-up sent with Steer on only steers when the agent's turn is already running. If the thread has a run that hasn't reached its provider turn yet, the message waits at the back of the queue. Nothing records that you asked to steer. That happens while a worktree is being set up, while the model starts, while an automatic wake-up run starts, and in the moment after a turn ends while its run wraps up.

That's annoying on a new thread. On a thread that keeps getting PR-watch wake-ups it's much worse: a new wake-up run is almost always starting, so messages sent with Steer on sat behind dozens of queued wake-ups instead of reaching the agent. In one real thread, a follow-up got queue position 59. An explicit steer sent in these windows was rejected with "No running provider turn found" and bounced back to the composer (#23271).

Fix

Whenever no provider turn is running, a follow-up queues and remembers that it should steer. As soon as a turn starts in that run, the message is steered into it. If none starts, it runs next like any queued message.

Server: a send with auto or steer intent that arrives while the active run has no running provider turn is queued with that intent saved on the run (new optional deliveryIntent on OrchestrationV2Run; runs are stored as JSON, so no migration). An orchestrator reactor watches for a provider turn becoming running. It takes the thread lock, re-reads the thread, and promotes those runs one at a time in queue order through the existing queued-message.promote-to-steer path. This works the same when the starting run is a wake-up.
MCP and scheduled sends: auto sends with no turn to steer now carry the auto intent too, so agents' messages also join the next turn instead of waiting at the back. An explicit MCP steer with nothing running still returns an error.
What stays queued: messages held after Stop, messages sent with a different model than the running turn, /goal, /compact and sign-out commands (including ones edited into these while queued), anything sent while the active run is /compact, fresh-context sends, and automatic deliveries.
Web and mobile: while a run has no running provider turn, the composer applies your follow-up setting and the Ctrl/⌘ alternate as it does during a running turn, and the send button shows the steer or queue action. On web this covers click, Enter, keybindings and the dictation submit shortcut. Mobile reads a new awaitsProviderTurn flag from the shared queue state in client-runtime. Restart still queues during setup, since there is nothing to restart yet.

Queue order is unchanged. User messages and wake-ups still run first-in, first-out. Existing tests rely on that, and a wake-up can carry something the agent should see first, like "build is green". Only messages that were queued on purpose, or sent with a different model, still wait their turn.

Overlap: #23559 makes the same CommandPolicy change for #23271, queuing an explicit steer in every gap instead of rejecting it. This PR includes that change and also steers the queued message into the turn once one can take it, so it supersedes #23559.

Fixes #23271

Evidence

GPT-6-Luna, new worktree thread. The first message runs a 30-second shell loop. "Also print the word BANANA at the end." is sent while setup is still running. Both clips play at 1.5×.

Before (main): BANANA waits in the queue for the whole turn and then runs as a separate turn.

Before: BANANA waits in the queue while the command runs

https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-galwoqjslzlnws6s.oliver-boorstein.workers.dev/f/a89ab77079bc18dc/before.mp4

After: BANANA shows as queued during setup, becomes a steer when the turn starts, and the agent handles it in the same turn.

After: BANANA appears as a steer and the agent acknowledges it

https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-galwoqjslzlnws6s.oliver-boorstein.workers.dev/f/64f6dd7ff1aaaed4/after.mp4

Validation

Runtime-layer test: the active run is a monitor wake-up that is still starting, with another wake-up queued behind it. A steer sent then is promoted into that run once its provider turn is running. A message sent with another model and one edited into /goal both stay queued, and an earlier message whose promotion was already rejected stays queued without blocking the steer behind it. On main the steer is rejected ("is starting and cannot be steered").
ThreadLaunchService test: an MCP auto send to a run that is still preparing carries the auto intent. Fails on main.
Updated tests: the CommandPolicy cases cover the new rule (both intents queue whenever the active attempt has no running provider turn: not started, pending, completed, or a previous attempt's). planComposerTurn covers setup sends, and threadWorkflows covers awaitsProviderTurn.
Checks: vp run check:changed passes format, lint, knip, typecheck (36 packages) and react compiler. One browser test, ChatView.browser.test.tsx › "a new draft does not load its reserved thread before the server lists it", times out locally. It times out the same way on a clean main checkout.
Review: the original change had three rounds of adversarial review with GPT-6.1 Sol (lock race, model-mismatch steer, stale read between promotions, mobile compaction guard, /goal promotion loop). All were fixed, and the last round found nothing.

🟡 Medium state/use-thread-composer-state.ts:657

During preparing or starting, the composer presents Queue and disables the alternate Queue action, but this branch sends the default Steer preference as auto. The message therefore joins the current turn instead of starting a separate queued turn, with no per-send way to choose Queue. Update the send presentation and alternate-action eligibility to match this setup dispatch behavior.

Note

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 on behalf of Oliver

Fixed in f2ecead228. canSteerActiveTurn now includes preparing/starting (except while compacting), so during setup the mobile send button shows the user's follow-up default, and the alternate action is available, matching what the send dispatches.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at dea163a

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Startup follow-ups retain their steering intent and join the provider turn once it begins. Existing queue choices, provider capabilities, model boundaries, and maintenance exclusions remain respected.

Walkthrough

The change updates message dispatch during run startup and provider-turn gaps. The server records eligible queued messages’ delivery intent and can promote matching messages when a provider turn starts. Web and mobile composer logic now accounts for sends queued behind setup.

Changes: Startup-time message steering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Delivery intent policy and contract `packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/CommandPolicy.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/CommandPolicy.test.ts`	Runs can carry an optional `auto` or `steer` delivery intent. The policy queues non-restart delivery when a run has no running provider turn. Tests cover explicit steering with absent, pending, completed, and previous-attempt turns.
Composer dispatch during setup `apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/ChatView.logic.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/ChatView.logic.test.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/chat/composerCommandKey.ts`	Composer dispatch logic treats setup-queued sends as active. A steer request retains its dispatch mode; a restart request queues.
Queue eligible messages and promote on turn start `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts`	The orchestrator records eligible delivery intent on queued runs. When a provider turn starts, it checks queued messages and promotes eligible messages whose model selection matches the thread and target run.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Isolate each promotion failure so one bad message does not block later messages.

dispatchSteerIntoRun can reject a selected promotion when the target is stopping, has no active provider session, or has no running provider turn. The rejection records a receipt, but the queued-run cancellation and steer events are not committed. The queued run therefore remains first in delivery order.

The failure exits the loop before later eligible messages are examined. Later running-turn events select the same queued run, and its rejected receipt produces OrchestratorCommandPreviouslyRejectedError. Catch the failure inside the loop and continue to the next eligible message.

Fixed in 96c7896546. Each promotion now catches its own failure and logs it, and the loop moves on. The per-pass attempted set keeps it from retrying the same run, so a rejected message stays a normal queued message and later eligible ones still steer. It catches typed errors only, so interruption still propagates.

CcoderabbitaiBot16d ago

@flamboh The supplied code addresses this finding. Each promotion now logs typed failures with Effect.catch, then continues to later eligible messages. The attempted set prevents retries within the same pass. Using Effect.catch instead of my proposed Effect.catchCause also preserves interruption at this handler.

apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts:654-664 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve steer in the mobile outbox dispatch mode.
When a setup run is preparing or starting and the follow-up preference is steer, resolveComposerDispatchMode returns steer. The mapping at use-thread-composer-state.ts:663-664 converts it to auto. The server then queues the message when active steering is unsupported, and startup promotion skips it because promotion requires steer_active.

Note

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 on behalf of Oliver

@coderabbitai re the outside-diff comment on apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts:654-664 (preserve steer in the mobile outbox dispatch mode): leaving this as is. The mapping of steer to auto predates this PR and is deliberate, as the comment above it explains. Mobile sends through a delayed outbox, and an explicit steer that lands after the turn ends is rejected, which would put the text back in the draft. auto starts a new run instead. On providers with active steering, auto resolves to steer_active at promotion time, so setup sends still steer once the turn starts. On providers without it, the message queues, which is what a mobile steer already did during a running turn before this PR.

@flamboh Agreed. I checked the mapping and its comment in apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts, plus the server dispatch policy.

The steer → auto mapping protects delayed outbox delivery when the turn ends before delivery. When the provider turn is running and supports active steering, auto resolves to steer_active.

My suggestion to preserve explicit steer overlooked that contract. I withdraw the finding. No change is needed.

Cover auto in the startup-promotion runtime test.
The new test queues only deliveryIntent: "steer" messages. The existing auto test covers an already-running provider turn. The other promotion test dispatches queued-message.promote-to-steer directly.
CommandPolicy allows auto to queue during preparing or starting, then resolve to steer_active when the provider turn runs. The startup listener passes that intent through the orchestrator. A regression in this handoff can leave an auto message queued for a separate turn while all current tests pass.

@coderabbitai Re the nitpick on covering auto in the startup-promotion runtime test: leaving it out on purpose. The reactor passes the saved intent straight to CommandPolicy.resolveMessageDispatchIntent, and how auto resolves against a running provider turn (steer, queue, or restart by capability) is already covered by the CommandPolicy tests. The runtime test pins the handoff itself; running a second intent through the same handoff adds setup without catching a different failure.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@flamboh Understood. The runtime test covers the saved-intent handoff, while the CommandPolicy tests cover capability-dependent resolution of auto. That division of coverage is sufficient for this nitpick. I withdraw the suggestion to add a second runtime case. No change is needed.

🟡 Medium orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts:13818

Disposing the orchestrator leaves this event consumer running, so it retains its EventSink.stream subscription and can process events against disposed services. Effect.forkDetach outlives the local scope; use Effect.forkScoped so teardown cancels the consumer before releasing its dependencies.

Note

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

Merged current main again (dea163aaf3)

one conflict in apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx: main rewrapped the composer block. took main's version and re-added this pr's sendQueuesBehindSetup prop on ChatComposer. nothing else changed.
vp run check:changed passes through blacksmith (format, lint, knip, typecheck, 13 test files, 304 tests).
runtime behavior after this merge is unverified in a real client.

Merged current main (1d7bc72739)

resolved conflicts with main's fresh-session sends (freshContext) in Orchestrator.ts, ChatView.logic.ts, and orchestrationV2.ts, keeping both sides.
one guard added: a fresh-session send during setup no longer records a startup delivery intent, since main rejects promoting a fresh-session message to a steer.
vp run check:changed passes through blacksmith (format, lint, knip, typecheck, 9 test files). runtime behavior after the merge is unverified in a real client; the verification below is for the pre-merge head.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 59e1a7336c18c1318fd48b420a99e2b66034eaab on linux with repo Playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, and real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. projects, worktrees, threads, and messages were created through the web app. one dev server ran at a time with isolated state.

reproduced on github/main (e6e2ab05cc): a BANANA follow-up sent during worktree setup stayed queued and required a second provider turn.
on the pr: the same follow-up queued during setup, became a steer when codex started, and appeared in the first turn's final reply. persisted records show promoted_queued_to_steer, its queued run cancelled, and exactly one completed provider turn.
ctrl+enter during setup kept QUEUECHECK queued until the first turn completed, then delivered it as a second turn.
steering during an already-running shell command still worked: ORANGE appeared in the same turn.

171 focused tests passed through blacksmith: CommandPolicy.test.ts, runtimeLayer.test.ts, and ChatView.logic.test.ts. the head also has 33 successful CI contexts. no source changes or pushes.

read-only runtime transcript: run states, provider turns, actual command output, and delivery intents.

before: queued while the command runs.

main: setup follow-up waits in the queue

after: the matching follow-up steers into the running turn.

pr: setup follow-up is delivered as a steer

recordings play at 3x. they show the setup send, delivery, and final reply.

main: setup follow-up runs in a second turn, 3x

pr: setup follow-up reaches the original codex turn, 3x

Not verified

native mobile, electron shells, other providers, remote/relay connections, and maintenance-command/model-mismatch guards were not exercised in a real client here. the focused tests cover the latter guards.
the first setup-steer attempt failed after promotion with local proxy HTTP 400: no active upstream websocket for response.interrupt. a fresh-thread repeat completed successfully without code or configuration changes. the cause and recovery of that intermittent provider/proxy failure remain unverified.
