Fixes #2062

Problem

Each streamed delta of a partial say/ask (text, reasoning, attempt_completion's result, ...) posted the entire message to the webview (messageUpdated). Providers that stream small chunks therefore caused dozens of full re-renders per second (331 deltas in 10.5 s in the report), and partial markdown (half a table, an open code fence) changed the layout on almost every update.

Change

Task now routes partial updates through postPartialMessageUpdate: the in-memory message is still updated on every delta, but the webview post happens at most once per 120 ms (leading edge, plus one trailing post so the latest text always arrives). The queued post is cancelled when the message is finalized (partial: false) and when the task is disposed; finalization still posts and persists as before.

Notes

  • The RooCodeEventName.Message "updated" event shares this path, so API/CLI consumers also see fewer partial updates; the final version is always emitted.
  • Not included: rendering only up to the last complete line in the webview (also suggested in the issue). This change is extension-side only.

Tests

New partial message update throttling tests (fake timers): a 50-delta burst coalesces into fewer than 10 posts and ends with the latest text; finalizing cancels the queued post and delivers the final text; updates far apart post immediately. src suite (11,031 tests) and check-types pass.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Streaming ask and say messages now display updates less frequently during rapid changes, while still showing the latest partial text.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Updates remain associated with the correct message when messages overlap.
    • Pending partial updates no longer appear after a message is finalized or its task is aborted, abandoned, or disposed.
    • Updates arriving at longer intervals continue to display individually.

Task limits partial ask and say webview updates to one post per 120 ms. It retains the latest update for a trailing post and cancels pending updates when messages are finalized or the task is disposed.

Changes: Partial message updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Throttle partial message posts
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts
Task posts partial ask and say updates immediately when the interval allows. Otherwise, it queues the latest update for a trailing post. Tests cover burst coalescing, delivery timing, message ordering, backward clock changes, and updates separated by 1,000 ms.
Cancel pending updates on finalization and disposal
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts
Task cancels queued partial updates when ask or say messages are finalized and during disposal. Tests verify cancellation on finalization and disposal.

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to f21de

Throttling preserves webview text, but finalizing another message can omit the latest queued reasoning value from the message-event stream. Merge with explicit acceptance of this bounded gap or fix cancellation first.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "[Perf] Throttle partial message updates while streaming" matches the main change. Task.ts now throttles partial say/ask updates to the webview at most once per 120 ms, with a trailing post for the latest text. It is short, specific, and states the performance goal. The title is concise and does not use vague terms.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It links the issue (Fixes #2062), and it explains the problem, the change, and the tests. It also notes the API/CLI effect and the exclusion of line-based rendering. Three items remain incomplete: the template asks for a 'Closes:' line rather than 'Fixes #2062', the Pre-Submission Checklist is not marked, and the Get in Touch and Documentation Updates sections are absent. The text also uses some non-STE phrasing, such as 'Providers that stream small chunks therefore caused dozens of full re-renders'. These gaps are minor, and the core content is complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#2062] requests fewer full-message updates during streamed partial responses. Task.ts routes partial ask and say updates through postPartialMessageUpdate, with a 120 ms leading and trailing update window. Finalization and disposal cancel queued partial posts. Final messages still save and post. Task.spec.ts covers burst coalescing, latest-text delivery, finalization, disposal, message identity, clock changes, and spaced updates. Complete-line rendering is an optional issue suggestion and remains explicitly out of scope.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff changes the partial-update path in src/core/task/Task.ts and adds focused tests in src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts. These changes directly support [#2062]. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

No changed path meets a security failure condition. The PR only throttles existing partial ask/say calls in src/core/task/Task.ts:1767-1817, then forwards the existing ClineMessage through the unchanged updateClineMessage path at lines 1819-1835. It adds no secret/PII source, input execution, or approval/allowlist bypass. Finalization and disposal only cancel queued posts.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

No changed persistence path meets the failure condition. The diff adds throttling for updateClineMessage only. New partial messages still await addToClineMessages and saveClineMessages; final ask and say paths still call await this.saveClineMessages() before posting the final message. The new cancellation only clears a pending webview timer and does not alter disk writes, atomicity, rollback, or persisted defaults.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The prior lifecycle-coverage failure remains unresolved. Task.postPartialMessageUpdate has a changed trailing callback that suppresses the queued partial post when this.abort or this.abandoned is true (src/core/task/Task.ts:1799-1806). The new tests cover finalization and disposal, but no focused test queues a partial update, calls requestAbort(false) or requestAbandon(), advances the timer, and asserts that no trailing messageUpdated post occurs. Existing abort and abandonment tests cover other behavior and do not exercise this callback branch.

Resolution

Add separate fake-timer tests for abort and abandon. In each test, create a streaming task, queue a partial update, call requestAbort(false) or requestAbandon(), advance the pending timer, and assert that no trailing messageUpdated event is emitted. Keep finalization and disposal coverage unchanged.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The changed queue can duplicate a finalized message. postPartialMessageUpdate flushes any queued message with a different ts at Task.ts:1777-1783 without checking queued.partial, abort, or abandoned. The queue is not cleared by finalizePartialToolAsk (Task.ts:2993-3008), abortStream (Task.ts:4163-4175), or end-of-stream reasoning finalization (Task.ts:4951-4953). If a trailing reasoning/tool-ask update is queued, finalization mutates that same object to partial: false, and a new stream starts within 120 ms, the next partial update flushes and posts the old finalized message again.

Resolution

Clear the pending partial-update timer and message whenever finalizePartialToolAsk, abortStream, or end-of-stream reasoning finalization finalizes the queued message. Also require queued.partial === true and !this.abort && !this.abandoned before the different-message flush posts it. Add regression tests for finalization followed by a new stream within the throttle interval.

Learning: Regression evidence: Fail only when a concrete changed behavior lacks focused coverage at the lowest valid test layer, tests merely mirror implementation, an affected error/negative/unset branch is omitted, or a durable visible UI change lacks its required Playwright component snapshot. Do not demand tests for unchanged behavior, mechanical configuration, or every branch without a plausible regression scenario. Cite the changed behavior and missing evidence.

Every streamed delta of a partial say/ask posted the whole message to the
webview, so long markdown responses reflowed dozens of times per second.
Post partial updates at most every 120ms with a trailing post for the latest
text, and cancel the queued post when the message is finalized or the task
is disposed.

Fixes Zoo-Code-Org#2062

…cellation

- Capture ts, text, and partial at each messageUpdated post. Task mutates
  one ClineMessage, so reading the mock calls by reference showed the
  latest values for every post.
- Add tests that a queued partial update is dropped when a partial ask is
  finalized and when the task is disposed.

Resolve a mutation gap

Add or strengthen a focused test that fails under the mutation. If the mutant is equivalent, request maintainer approval for the narrowest mutator-specific exclusion and explain why it cannot change behavior:

// Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression: normalized input cannot reach the alternate branch
const result = condition ? value : fallback

Broad all exclusions and exclusions without a concrete reason are reported as advisories.

4465-4468: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Assert the throttled updated event stream in the burst test.

The burst test observes only messageUpdated webview posts. updateClineMessage also emits RooCodeEventName.Message with action: "updated" after each throttled post, and API and CLI consumers receive that event. A change that emits updated for every delta while still throttling posts would pass this test. No test in Task.spec.ts asserts an updated action.

Suggested fix
 			const { task, messageUpdates } = createStreamingTask()
+			const eventUpdates: Array<string | undefined> = []
+			task.on(RooCodeEventName.Message, (event) => {
+				if (event.action === "updated") {
+					eventUpdates.push(event.message.text)
+				}
+			})
 
 			await task.say("text", "chunk 0", undefined, true)
 			expect(messageUpdates.at(-1)).toMatchObject({ text: "chunk 50", partial: true })
+			expect(eventUpdates.length).toBeGreaterThan(0)
+			expect(eventUpdates.length).toBeLessThan(10)
+			expect(eventUpdates.at(-1)).toBe("chunk 50")

are throttled, that at least one occurs, and that the final update contains

- Around line 4556-4557: Update the distinct-message throttle test to assert the
target `ts` values in `messageUpdates`, in addition to the existing text order:
verify the queued reasoning update retains the reasoning message’s timestamp and
the text update targets a different timestamp.

Review comments at @src/core/task/Task.ts:
- Around line 1785-1805: Clamp the elapsed time in the partial-message update
flow before using it to calculate the trailing timer delay. Update the
calculation in the method containing this code so a backward clock step yields
zero elapsed time and the timer waits no longer than
PARTIAL_MESSAGE_UPDATE_INTERVAL_MS; preserve the existing immediate-post and
pending-message behavior.
- Line 2892: When finalizing a partial say, preserve and deliver any queued
partial update whose ts belongs to a different message before canceling the
pending update; do not discard that reasoning update. Update the finalization
flow around cancelPendingPartialMessageUpdate and compare the queued message
with lastMessage, while retaining the existing behavior for updates belonging to
the message being finalized.

Merged via the queue into Zoo-Code-Org:main with commit 457bed3 Nov 6, 2026

easonLiangWorldedtech added a commit to easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code that referenced this pull request Nov 7, 2026
Upstream moved e943530 to 73931fe, 9 commits: Zoo-Code-Org#2275 zustand v5.0.16, Zoo-Code-Org#2274 ai sdk bump, Zoo-Code-Org#2273 @types/katex, Zoo-Code-Org#2341 the v3.96.0 release prep, Zoo-Code-Org#2309 batch 3 of the no-explicit-any suppression removal in the integrations area, Zoo-Code-Org#2297 the interrupted-message-write resume fix, Zoo-Code-Org#2120 partial-message throttling, Zoo-Code-Org#2308 webview tests on four workers, and Zoo-Code-Org#1838 reporting emergency condense like the automatic path. No campaign head is an ancestor of that main, so this is a merge commit rather than a fast-forward.

The single conflict was the src/extension/api.ts import block. It is resolved as a union: main adds TaskMessagesReadError, getErrorCode and tracePersistenceEvent, and this branch keeps its import type { Task } line. Neither side was dropped.

Suppression baseline: Zoo-Code-Org#2309 lowered the no-explicit-any counts in the integrations area, so the never-raise-a-count baseline is mains lower tree at 73931fe, not the e943530 one. The pre-commit hook shells out to pnpm, which is not installed on this lane PATH, so this merge commit was made with --no-verify and the gates - tsc, eslint with the suppressions file, prettier and the vitest lanes for every file in the diff - are run on the merged tree instead.
