The queue poll checks that the app is free when it schedules a channel turn or the notifier, but the turn starts later, as a callback on the message pump. Input handled in between could take the app first, and the polled turn then ran next to it. Check again in the step where each of these turns takes the app. A channel message that finds the app taken goes back on the queue before its request is claimed; otherwise the turn takes the app in that same step. The notifier returns at once when the app is taken, and checks again right before it starts its turn, putting the batch back if the app was taken during its batch wait. Fixes EvoScientist#631

- Line 3252: Update the deferral path using _message_queue so a deferred message
stays ahead of later arrivals and channel messages retain their original order;
add a test that queues two messages and verifies the first is processed first
after typed input interrupts polling.
- Around line 1372-1377: Update the busy-path restoration in
`_inject_notification_tui` to preserve FIFO order when notifications arrive
after the batch is drained: drain the pending notifications for the same target
thread, then restore the original batch followed by those newly pending
notifications. Use `drain_notifications` and the existing thread ID fallback so
newer notifications are not delivered ahead of the batch.

A channel message whose turn found the app taken went back to the end of the queue, behind any message that arrived since, and a poll that found the app taken did the same with the message it took, so waiting messages swapped places on every such poll. If the first was /new, the next one ran in the old thread. The app now holds such a message and starts it before anything on the queue, the poll leaves the queue alone while the app is taken, and at most one message is off the queue and not started at a time, so the held one cannot be overtaken or lost. A notification batch that goes back because the app was taken before its turn started now goes back ahead of the notifications queued after the notifier's last drain, so the next notifier turn lists them in order.

Thanks for the PR @Thanatos9404! The code looks good, but there are a few leftovers open from #631:
I'm fine with merging this as-is, since as you said these change how channel turns run and fit better in a separate PR. In that case, please change "Fixes #631" to "Part of #631" in the description, so #631 stays open for them. Or you could include these fixes here and merge when they fully cover #631. Up to you. |

Thanks for this, and for the randomised test that sends keys through the message pump. One change suggested inline in EvoScientist/cli/tui_interactive.py (_inject_notification_tui), with its follow-ups in tests/test_tui_poll_turns.py and a docstring fix there. If you take it, please also update the _inject_notification_tui bullet in the PR description.

This branch cannot run today. The poll starts the notifier with call_later(lambda: asyncio.ensure_future(...)), and Textual awaits the task the callback returns, so the app's message pump is held from the first drain, through the batch wait and the state read, until _own_app. Enter, slash commands and Ctrl+C are all handled on that pump, and every other place that takes the app runs inside an owner that already held it when the check at the top of _consume_notifications_tui ran. With the real schedule (poll, then call_later) and the batch wait widened to 1 s, an Enter posted through the pump during the wait was handled only after the notifier turn had started, so it went to the typed queue and this branch was never entered. The two tests that cover it reach it only by running the consumer off the pump themselves.
It also hides a gap: with this branch in place, all 15 tests still pass when the check at the top of _consume_notifications_tui is removed, because this branch puts the batch back afterwards. Without it, test_a_notifier_turn_waits_for_input_typed_before_it_starts fails whenever that check goes.
Suggestion: drop the branch, the two imports it alone uses and the two tests that start the consumer off the pump (suggested next to each). If you take on the pump-hold item from #631 in this PR, as din0s offered, the check becomes reachable; it would then need a test that schedules the notifier the way the poll does.

Thanks, applied in c2c6c46: the branch, the two imports only it used and the two tests that started the consumer off the pump are gone, and the _poll_until docstring now says it runs the poll in place of its timer. Without the branch, test_a_notifier_turn_waits_for_input_typed_before_it_starts fails whenever the check at the top of _consume_notifications_tui is removed (4 runs out of 4), and the 13 tests in the file and ruff pass.

I also updated the _inject_notification_tui bullet in the description, along with the test list and counts that changed with it.

The poll starts the notifier through a callback that Textual awaits, so the message pump is held from the first drain until _own_app, and no input that takes the app is handled in between: the check could not be reached. It also hid a gap, since putting the batch back afterwards let the tests pass without the check at the top of _consume_notifications_tui. Remove the check, the two imports only it used and the two tests that reached it by starting the consumer off the pump. Without them, test_a_notifier_turn_waits_for_input_typed_before_it_starts fails when the check at the top of _consume_notifications_tui is removed. Also say in the _poll_until docstring that it runs the poll every 50 ms in place of its timer.
Description
The TUI's queue poll starts two kinds of turns on its own: channel messages and the notifications for finished background work. It checks that the app is free when it schedules the turn, but the turn starts later, as a callback on the app's message pump, and it did not check again. Input handled in between (Enter, a slash command) could take the app first, and the polled turn then ran next to it.
This adds the check at the step where each of these turns takes the app, along the lines the issue suggests:
_process_channel_message: if the app is taken, the app holds the message and the turn returns before it claims the request; a later poll starts it before anything on the queue. Otherwise it takes the app in the same step: there is no await between the check andself._busy = True._consume_notifications_tui: returns at once when the app is taken, before it drains anything, so the notifications stay queued._inject_notification_tui: unchanged. The poll starts the notifier through a callback that Textual awaits, so the notifier holds the message pump from the check above until_own_app, and no input can take the app in between. If the pump hold goes away (the first "related" item in the issue), it needs a check of its own again, with a test that schedules the notifier the way the poll does.Nothing changes on the release side: a turn that finds the app taken never took it, so it has nothing to give back, and a turn that took it releases it in the same
finallyas before. Order is kept: a held channel message starts before the queue, and the poll leaves the queue alone while the app is taken and takes nothing more until a turn it scheduled has started.For three of the four cases in the issue: a channel message no longer starts next to a notifier turn that took the app during its batch wait; a notifier scheduled before Enter returns without touching the typed turn's handle, so Ctrl+C stops the typed turn and the notification runs after it; and a channel turn no longer starts under a slash command, so its end cannot clear the busy flag the command holds. The third case (Ctrl+C during the batch wait drops the notification) is unchanged: the key waits on the pump hold, then stops the notifier turn before it starts, so it belongs with the first related item.
I left the two "related" items as they are (keys held during a channel turn because Textual awaits the callback, and input typed during a channel turn waiting for the next foreground turn): they change how channel turns run on the pump, so they seem better as a separate change.
