Closes: #1307

Description

When a turn executes multiple tool_use blocks and at least one tool returns images, userMessageContent ended up as tool_result, image, tool_result, image. Anthropic rejects that user message with a hard 400 (tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks immediately after) because tool_result blocks must be the first, contiguous content of the user message. Both consumers (Task.flushPendingToolResultsToHistory and the main request assembly) passed the array through verbatim.

Fix at the single choke point every tool_result push flows through (Task.pushToolResultToUserContent, covering all 8 call sites: the main tool-result callback, MCP-native dispatch, rejection/validation-error paths, and the task-interruption pre-injection path): after appending a new tool_result, any image blocks already in userMessageContent are relocated after it. Result shape: [trA, trB, imgA, imgB, text] — Anthropic accepts non-tool_result content after the contiguous result run, so this is spec-compliant and matches the issue's expected shape.

Why not at the image-push sites (as the issue suggested): if tool A returns images and a later tool result has no images, [trA, imgA, trB] still interleaves — grouping at the result push is the only complete minimal fix, and it keeps the consumer untouched.

Behavior preserved: multiple images keep per-tool order; single-tool-with-images and image-free turns are byte-identical; images with no tool results are never relocated.

Test Procedure

  • src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts (+1 regression test, 1 test updated to the new correct order with full block equality — stricter, not weaker): tr1 + 2 images + image-less tr2 → asserts [tr1, tr2, img1, img2].
  • src/core/assistant-message/__tests__/presentAssistantMessage-images.spec.ts (+2 integration tests through the real presentAssistantMessage): two image-returning tools → [trA, trB, imgA, imgB]; first tool returns images, second returns none → images relocated after the second result. Both fail on main.
  • cd src && ./node_modules/.bin/vitest run core/assistant-message → 67/67 passed.
  • cd src && ./node_modules/.bin/vitest run core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts → 151/151 passed.
  • ESLint on all 3 changed files → clean.

Additional Notes

Pre-existing follow-up (out of scope): a repetition-limit feedback text block can still land between tool results (presentAssistantMessage.ts ~684); this PR improves that case too (was tr, text, img, tr before). Happy to address separately if it ever manifests.

…blocks separately

When a turn issued multiple tool_use blocks and tool results carried image
blocks (read_file on images, screenshots, feedback images),
presentAssistantMessage pushed each tool_result followed immediately by its
images, yielding tool_result/image interleaving in userMessageContent.
Task.ts then consumed the array verbatim, and the Anthropic API rejected the
request with a 400: "tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks
immediately after" (Zoo-Code-Org#1307).

pushToolResultToUserContent is the single choke point every tool_result push
flows through, so it now maintains the invariant: when a new tool_result is
appended, image blocks already accumulated are moved after it. The resulting
user message is tool_results first (in tool_use order), then images, then
other blocks — matching the shape the issue expects. A single tool result
with images and image-free messages are unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of results from parallel tool calls.
    • Tool-result entries now remain grouped together and in the correct order.
    • Images and other message content are consistently placed after all tool results.
    • Preserved the original order of non-tool content.
    • Duplicate tool results continue to be rejected.

The change keeps all tool_result blocks contiguous in task messages. It moves text and image blocks after the results and adds coverage for parallel calls and later results without images.

Explanation

Issue #1307 requires contiguous tool_result blocks before images and text. Task.pushToolResultToUserContent now partitions userMessageContent into tool results followed by all other blocks, while preserving order within both groups. The duplicate-result guard remains active. Updated unit tests cover pre-existing text and images, and later results after images. Assistant-message tests cover multiple image-returning tools and mixed image/non-image results.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to the shared tool-result insertion method and regression tests for Anthropic message ordering. The changes directly support issue #1307. No unrelated behavior or files are shown.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The changed behavior is isolated to Task.pushToolResultToUserContent. src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts exercises the real Task method and covers result-first ordering, contiguous results after intervening images, preservation of non-result order, duplicate rejection, and error results. The assistant-message tests use a matching mock, but the production method still has direct lowest-layer coverage. No UI behavior changed, so a Playwright snapshot is not required.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

No changed path matches the security failure conditions. The only production change is Task.pushToolResultToUserContent in src/core/task/Task.ts; it filters existing message blocks by type and reorders them with splice. It does not add secret or PII handling, input execution, or changes to approval or allowlist checks. The changed tests use synthetic tool IDs and image data only. Existing caller paths still sanitize tool IDs and validate tools before execution.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

No changed persistence path matches the failure conditions. The PR changes only synchronous in-memory ordering in Task.pushToolResultToUserContent and related tests. flushPendingToolResultsToHistory and addToApiConversationHistory remain unchanged; they await the existing save flow, and saveApiConversationHistory still clones the history before saving. The diff adds no file-write logic, default propagation, rollback path, or unawaited persistence operation.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

PASS. The only production change is in Task.pushToolResultToUserContent: it filters userMessageContent and reorders the existing blocks with splice. It does not register or remove listeners, watchers, providers, timers, tasks, or abort handlers. It does not add cancellation, disposal, restart, or retry work. The other changed files contain tests only. No changed lifecycle path can leak a resource or duplicate work after cancellation, disposal, or restart.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the linked issue, implementation details, test procedure and results, completed checklist, documentation status, and reviewer notes. It matches the repository template and explains the fix clearly.

The two new tests in this file run this copied partition, and Task is automocked at the top of the spec. Would they still pass if the partition were removed from Task.ts? Could the mock bind the real method instead, with vi.importActual and Task.prototype.pushToolResultToUserContent?

Fixed in 73038d0. The mock now binds the real method instead of copying it:

let realPushToolResultToUserContent: RealPushToolResult

beforeAll(async () => {
	const actual = await vi.importActual<typeof import("../../task/Task")>("../../task/Task")
	realPushToolResultToUserContent = actual.Task.prototype.pushToolResultToUserContent
})

and beforeEach wires it onto the structural double with realPushToolResultToUserContent.call(mockTask, toolResult). The double only needs userMessageContent, which it already provides, so no other field of Task is constructed.

You asked whether the tests would still pass if the partition were removed from Task.ts. They no longer do. I deleted the partition block from Task.prototype.pushToolResultToUserContent and re-ran the spec:

FAIL  core/assistant-message/__tests__/presentAssistantMessage-images.spec.ts > ... > groups images after all tool_results when parallel tools return images
FAIL  core/assistant-message/__tests__/presentAssistantMessage-images.spec.ts > ... > relocates an earlier tool's images after a later tool_result with no images
Test Files  1 failed (1)
     Tests  2 failed | 7 passed (9)

With the partition restored the spec is 9/9 green. The two tests also now pass main's required policySnapshot argument (baseSnapshot).

Would a change that moves only image blocks last, and leaves text ahead of them, fail any test here? This case has only images after the first result. Could a case that pushes an image, then text, then r1, then more text, then r2 expect [r1, r2, image, text, text2]?

Yes, it would have failed nothing, and you were right to flag it. The old case had only images after the first result, so an image-only grouping satisfied it. I added exactly the case you described in 73038d0:

it("moves text as well as images behind the tool_results, preserving order within each group", () => {
	// Interleaved arrival: image, text, r1, more text, r2.
	task.userMessageContent.push(image, text1)
	task.pushToolResultToUserContent(toolResult1)
	task.userMessageContent.push(text2)
	task.pushToolResultToUserContent(toolResult2)

	expect(task.userMessageContent).toEqual([toolResult1, toolResult2, image, text1, text2])
})

Input is [image, text, r1, text, r2] and the expectation is [r1, r2, image, text, text2], as you asked. Both mutation checks confirm it discriminates:

With the real implementation restored, core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts and core/assistant-message are 345/345 green.

History saved with image blocks between tool_result blocks (read_file on
an image alongside another tool call in the same turn) is rejected by
Anthropic with a 400 on every retry, leaving the task stuck. Reorder
tool_result blocks to the front of each user message when shaping the
API request, after merging consecutive user messages. Stored history is
unchanged, so tasks already saved with the broken shape recover on
their next retry.

This complements Zoo-Code-Org#1705, which stops new messages from being built with
the interleaved shape.

…nterleave

Addresses edelauna's two review asks on Zoo-Code-Org#1705.

1. presentAssistantMessage-images.spec.ts bound a hand-copied partition of
   Task.pushToolResultToUserContent, so the Zoo-Code-Org#1307 tests were tautological:
   deleting the grouping from Task.ts still passed them. The mock now binds
   the real Task.prototype.pushToolResultToUserContent via vi.importActual.
   Verified: removing the partition from Task.ts fails both Zoo-Code-Org#1307 tests.

2. Task.spec.ts only covered "images after the first result". Added the
   mixed interleave [image, text, r1, text, r2] -> [r1, r2, image, text,
   text2], which fails under an image-only grouping and only passes with the
   full tool_result-first partition.

Also carries main's new policySnapshot argument at the 2 integration call
sites, and drops this spec's no-explicit-any suppressions from 16 to 14.

* fix(anthropic): keep tool_result blocks contiguous by grouping image blocks separately

When a turn issued multiple tool_use blocks and tool results carried image
blocks (read_file on images, screenshots, feedback images),
presentAssistantMessage pushed each tool_result followed immediately by its

Task.ts then consumed the array verbatim, and the Anthropic API rejected the

pushToolResultToUserContent is the single choke point every tool_result push
flows through, so it now maintains the invariant: when a new tool_result is
appended, image blocks already accumulated are moved after it. The resulting
user message is tool_results first (in tool_use order), then images, then
other blocks — matching the shape the issue expects. A single tool result

immediately after" (Zoo-Code-Org#1307).

pushToolResultToUserContent is the single choke point every tool_result push
flows through, so it now maintains the invariant: when a new tool_result is
appended, image blocks already accumulated are moved after it. The resulting
user message is tool_results first (in tool_use order), then images, then
other blocks — matching the shape the issue expects. A single tool result
with images and image-free messages are unchanged.

* fix(anthropic): keep all tool_result blocks ahead of other user-message content

* test(anthropic): bind the real tool_result grouping and cover mixed interleave

Addresses edelauna's two review asks on Zoo-Code-Org#1705.

1. presentAssistantMessage-images.spec.ts bound a hand-copied partition of
   Task.pushToolResultToUserContent, so the Zoo-Code-Org#1307 tests were tautological:
   deleting the grouping from Task.ts still passed them. The mock now binds
   the real Task.prototype.pushToolResultToUserContent via vi.importActual.
   Verified: removing the partition from Task.ts fails both Zoo-Code-Org#1307 tests.

2. Task.spec.ts only covered "images after the first result". Added the
   mixed interleave [image, text, r1, text, r2] -> [r1, r2, image, text,
   text2], which fails under an image-only grouping and only passes with the
   full tool_result-first partition.

Also carries main's new policySnapshot argument at the 2 integration call
sites, and drops this spec's no-explicit-any suppressions from 16 to 14.

* refactor(task): drop redundant guard in pushToolResultToUserContent
