Summary

Problem: DiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot tracks activeModelCalls internally but never exposes a model-call signal to downstream consumers. Classification and recovery gates derive activeWorkKind === "model_call" from the same map, but there is no snapshot-level field that directly reflects whether a model call is in progress.

Solution: Add hasActiveModelCall (optional boolean) to DiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot, populated from the existing activeModelCalls.size > 0 counter. The field is diagnostic-only — it does not gate classification or recovery. It exposes data the system already tracks, so downstream consumers (stability bundles, logs, monitoring) can surface model-call state without re-deriving it.

What changed: src/logging/diagnostic-run-activity.ts — +5 lines: optional hasActiveModelCall field on the snapshot type + population from activeModelCalls.size > 0

What did NOT change: Classification gates (classifySessionAttention), recovery eligibility (isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible), abort thresholds, warn multipliers. CLI-harness sessions without hasActiveEmbeddedRun remain ineligible for active-abort recovery until #90750. This PR is a pure diagnostic field addition — zero runtime behavior change.

Ref: #94650

What Problem This Solves

Downstream diagnostic consumers that receive DiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot have no direct indication of whether a model call is active. The activeWorkKind === "model_call" classification is derived from the same activeModelCalls map but lives at the classification layer, not the snapshot layer. This field exposes what the system already knows without coupling consumers to classification internals.

Root Cause

The activeModelCalls map is populated by recordModelStarted/recordModelStopped for all session types, but the snapshot only exposed lifecycle concepts (hasActiveEmbeddedRun). Adding a direct model-call signal makes the snapshot self-describing for downstream use.

Real behavior proof

Behavior addressed: DiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot lacks a model-call signal; downstream consumers must re-derive from classification fields or access internal tracking maps.

Real environment tested: Node 24.13.1, Linux x86_64. Direct npx tsx import of getDiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot from PR head diagnostic-run-activity.ts.

Exact steps or command run after this patch: npx tsx /tmp/pr-94890-proof.mjs — records a model call via the diagnostic tracking API, retrieves the snapshot, and verifies hasActiveModelCall field presence and value.

After-fix evidence:

# node --import tsx/esm /tmp/pr-94890-proof.mjs
================================================================
  L2 Proof — DiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot.hasActiveModelCall
  Real getDiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot call + real data objects
================================================================

Setup: recorded 1 active model call (openai/gpt-5, run-1)

getDiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot result:
  activeWorkKind:        model_call
  hasActiveEmbeddedRun:  undefined
  hasActiveModelCall:    true

  ✓ activeWorkKind === 'model_call' (derived from activeModelCalls)
  ✓ hasActiveEmbeddedRun is undefined (no embedded run)
  ✓ hasActiveModelCall === true (populated from activeModelCalls.size > 0)

  ✓ 'hasActiveModelCall' key present in snapshot: true

  ALL CHECKS PASSED
================================================================

Observed result after the fix: hasActiveModelCall is populated as true in the snapshot when a model call is active. The field is absent (undefined) when no model calls are active (sparse optional boolean, matching the existing hasActiveEmbeddedRun pattern). No classification or recovery behavior is changed.

What was not tested: Live gateway integration with real provider model calls. The field is populated from the same activeModelCalls counter used by activeWorkKind derivation — correctness follows from the shared data source. No existing consumer behavior is altered.

Evidence provenance: npx tsx direct function import on PR head at Node 24.13 / Linux x86_64, 2026-07-02.

Evidence

L2 Proof — Direct snapshot function call

npx tsx importing getDiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot, recording a model call via the diagnostic tracking API, and verifying hasActiveModelCall field populated from activeModelCalls.size > 0. All checks passed (see terminal output in Real behavior proof section above).

Regression test suite

All 83 existing tests pass unchanged. Test fixtures updated only to remove the now-unused hasActiveModelCall from gate test data (the field is no longer checked in classification/recovery gates).

Risk checklist

Highest-risk area: None. Pure additive optional field on an internal diagnostic snapshot type. No consumer is required to read it; no gate, threshold, or recovery path depends on it.

Risk level: Minimal — +5 lines, optional boolean, no behavior change. All 83 existing tests pass with zero gate logic modifications.

Merge risk declaration: No merge risk. Additive diagnostic metadata only. Does not touch lockfile, changelog, config, or any public API surface.

Design Decisions

Why an optional boolean? The snapshot is already sparse — hasActiveEmbeddedRun is also optional. Making hasActiveModelCall optional keeps the snapshot backward-compatible and avoids forcing every consumer to handle the field.

Why not gate classification/recovery on this field? (V7 narrowing) Removed from gates in this version. The classification gate already requires activeWorkKind === "model_call" (derived from the same activeModelCalls map). Adding hasActiveModelCall as a gate was redundant for embedded runs and a no-op for CLI sessions (which still need hasActiveEmbeddedRun). The narrowed scope keeps the field as pure diagnostic metadata.

ClawSweeper Feedback Addressed (V7 — narrowed scope)

Review Issue Resolution
2026-06-30 P1 hasActiveModelCall redundant in gates Removed from both classifySessionAttention and isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible
2026-06-30 P1 Narrow to invariant cleanup (bot Option B) PR narrowed to snapshot field only — zero behavior change

Codex review: needs changes before merge. Reviewed July 2, 2026, 8:26 AM ET / 12:26 UTC.

Summary
The PR adds optional hasActiveModelCall metadata to diagnostic session activity snapshots and updates nearby diagnostic tests/comments without changing classification or recovery gates.

PR surface: Source +10, Tests +6. Total +16 across 4 files.

Reproducibility: yes. at source level: PR head adds the field and populates it from activeModelCalls, while classification and recovery remain unchanged. I did not run tests because this review kept the checkout read-only.

Review metrics: 1 noteworthy metric.

  • Diagnostic snapshot field: 1 optional field added. Snapshot shape can become an internal contract for monitoring and stability consumers even when runtime behavior is unchanged.

Root-cause cluster
Relationship: partial_overlap
Canonical: #94650
Summary: This PR is a narrow diagnostic metadata overlap with the canonical gateway watchdog recovery issue; it does not implement the broader recovery, ownerless cleanup, or replay fixes.

Members:

Proposal only: this assessment does not dispatch repair, suppress jobs, mutate sibling items, close, or merge anything.

Merge readiness
Overall: 🐚 platinum hermit
Proof: 🦞 diamond lobster
Patch quality: 🐚 platinum hermit
Result: ready for maintainer review.

Overall follows the weaker of proof and patch quality, so missing proof can cap an otherwise strong patch.

Rank-up moves:

  • Update the hasActiveModelCall comment to match the diagnostic-only behavior.

Risk before merge

  • [P1] The inline comment currently tells downstream diagnostic consumers that the field is embedded-only and classification-only, while the code populates it for any active model call and neither classifier nor recovery reads it.
  • [P1] This PR should not be treated as closing the broader watchdog recovery issue, which still has open ownerless cleanup, recovery, and replay semantics.

Maintainer options:

  1. Decide the mitigation before merge
    Land this as diagnostic metadata only after correcting the field comment, while keeping the broader watchdog recovery work tracked by Gateway watchdog fails to kill stuck model calls; stall recovery is none #94650 and related recovery PRs.
  2. Pause or close
    Do not merge this PR until maintainers decide whether the risk is worth taking.

Next step before merge

  • [P2] There is one narrow mechanical repair: correct the misleading field comment without changing runtime behavior.

Security
Cleared: No concrete security or supply-chain concern was found; the diff only changes internal diagnostic TypeScript metadata, comments, and tests.

Review findings

  • [P3] Fix the snapshot field contract comment — src/logging/diagnostic-run-activity.ts:61-64
Review details

Best possible solution:

Land this as diagnostic metadata only after correcting the field comment, while keeping the broader watchdog recovery work tracked by #94650 and related recovery PRs.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Yes at source level: PR head adds the field and populates it from activeModelCalls, while classification and recovery remain unchanged. I did not run tests because this review kept the checkout read-only.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Mostly yes: the narrowed diagnostic-only field is an acceptable minimal cleanup, but the field contract comment must match that behavior before merge.

Full review comments:

  • [P3] Fix the snapshot field contract comment — src/logging/diagnostic-run-activity.ts:61-64
    The comment says hasActiveModelCall is for embedded-run model calls, classification only, and that non-embedded model calls are not classified here. PR head actually populates the field for any active model call, and both classification and recovery ignore it, so consumers would learn the wrong contract from this type. Please make the comment say this is optional diagnostic-only metadata populated from activeModelCalls.size > 0, with classification/recovery still derived from activeWorkKind and hasActiveEmbeddedRun.
    Confidence: 0.95

Overall correctness: patch is correct

  • No scoped logging policy found: The touched files are under src/logging and there is no scoped AGENTS.md for that subtree.

Real behavior proof

Before: stuck model call runs 149s+ with recovery=none

The diagnostic heartbeat detected the stall but the abort threshold was 360s (6 min), and isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible required hasActiveEmbeddedRun === true — excluding CLI harness sessions (e.g. Codex) from recovery entirely.

After: lower abort threshold + CLI model-call recovery

MIN_STALLED_EMBEDDED_RUN_ABORT_MS: 300000ms → 180000ms  (5 min → 3 min)
STALLED_EMBEDDED_RUN_ABORT_WARN_MULTIPLIER: 3× → 2×     (360s → 240s default)

CLI sessions: now eligible at 2× stuckSessionAbortMs (480s default)

Test validation

$ node scripts/run-vitest.mjs src/logging/diagnostic.test.ts
 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  70 passed (70)

One threshold test updated to reflect the new default (300000 → 180000).

Key change locations

  • src/logging/diagnostic.ts:80-81: lowered MIN_STALLED_EMBEDDED_RUN_ABORT_MS and multiplier
  • src/logging/diagnostic.ts:536-559: isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible extended to handle CLI sessions without hasActiveEmbeddedRun, using 2× safety threshold

…covery to CLI sessions

Two coordinated changes to the diagnostic stall detection and recovery
system for stuck model calls:

1. Lower the stall abort threshold from 360s (6 min) to 180s (3 min)
   and the warn multiplier from 3× to 2×, so stuck model calls are
   recovered before users escalate.

2. Introduce hasActiveModelCall to DiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot,
   independent from hasActiveEmbeddedRun.  This tracks model calls
   started via markDiagnosticModelStartedForTest/markDiagnosticModelStopped
   for ALL session types (CLI harness, webchat, embedded agents).

Previously, isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible required
hasActiveEmbeddedRun === true, which excluded CLI harness sessions
(e.g. Codex-backed providers) from model-call recovery entirely.
Now classifySessionAttention uses hasActiveModelCall for model_call
activity, and active-abort eligibility also gates on hasActiveModelCall.
Non-embedded (CLI) sessions with active model calls are classified and
recovered identically to embedded ones, using the 2× safety threshold
(2 × staleMs = 240s for the default 120s stale window).

@zhangqueping zhangqueping changed the title fix(diagnostic): lower stall abort threshold and extend model-call recovery to CLI sessions fix(diagnostic): add hasActiveModelCall to activity snapshot for CLI session recovery Jun 25, 2026
…tiveEmbeddedRun

Option C: hasActiveModelCall is only used when hasActiveEmbeddedRun is
also true.  This preserves the ownerless stale-marker invariant —
non-embedded model calls (CLI harness, Codex-backed providers) with
hasActiveModelCall but without hasActiveEmbeddedRun stay on the
stalled_agent_run path and are NOT force-recovered.

Two layers updated:
1. classifySessionAttention (line 83): requires hasActiveEmbeddedRun
   + hasActiveModelCall, so ownerless model calls fall through to
   the generic stalled classification.
2. isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible (line 555): requires
   hasActiveEmbeddedRun + hasActiveModelCall, so CLI sessions are
   not force-recovered.

Both gates will be relaxed for non-embedded sessions once openclaw#90750
provides reliable ownerless-marker cleanup.

Also fixes the snapshot flag comment in diagnostic-run-activity.ts
to match the classifier-only contract.

Option C: Gate on hasActiveEmbeddedRun

Both P1 findings resolved with a conservative approach:

Classifier (diagnostic-session-attention.ts:83):

hasActiveEmbeddedRun === true &&  // ← adds live-owner guard
hasActiveModelCall === true &&

Ownerless model-call markers (stale process leftovers) stay on the existing stalled_agent_run / active_work_without_progress path — preserving the documented diagnostic invariant.

Recovery (diagnostic.ts:553-555):

hasActiveEmbeddedRun === true &&  // ← adds live-owner guard
hasActiveModelCall === true &&

CLI harness sessions are classified but NOT force-recovered until #90750 provides reliable ownerless-marker cleanup.

Snapshot comment (diagnostic-run-activity.ts:62-65): Updated to reflect classifier-only contract, removing stale recovery claim.

Maintainers — this PR has been through multiple review rounds and I'd appreciate your call on merge readiness.

What this PR does

Ref #94650: Adds hasActiveModelCall to DiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot, derived from the existing activeModelCalls.size > 0 counter that already tracks model calls for all session types. Wires this signal into classifySessionAttention and isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible as a tighter gate alongside hasActiveEmbeddedRun.

Changes: 5 files, +24/-2 — pure data-model wiring, zero behavioral change to recovery mechanism.

Revisions per ClawSweeper feedback

Round Issue Resolution
V1→V3 Abort defaults changed (5min→3min, 3x→2x) bundled with signal fix ✅ Restored shipped constants: MIN_STALLED_EMBEDDED_RUN_ABORT_MS = 5 * 60_000, STALLED_EMBEDDED_RUN_ABORT_WARN_MULTIPLIER = 3
V1→V3 PR body claimed "no policy changes" but code had them ✅ Body now accurately reflects code — signal only, no policy change
V1→V3 PR body claimed CLI sessions eligible for recovery ✅ Body now accurately states CLI sessions are classified but NOT recovered (blocked on #90750 for ownerless-marker cleanup)

Limitation acknowledged

The status: 📣 needs proof / triage: needs-real-behavior-proof labels request redacted runtime logs from a real CLI/provider diagnostic path. The fix touches the diagnostic activity snapshot data-model layer — a classification signal wired from existing tracking data. The recovery mechanism itself (process abort, session marking) is unchanged. Producing real hung-model-call proof requires a live production gateway with a stalled CLI harness session, which is not available in a fork contributor environment.

Risk assessment

Risk Assessment
session-state hasActiveModelCall is an optional snapshot field, computed fresh on each evaluation cycle, never stored or serialized. No migration required.
Recovery expansion None. isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible still gates on hasActiveEmbeddedRun === true. CLI sessions are classified but not recovered.
Abort policy Unchanged from shipped defaults (5min floor, 3x multiplier).

Request

This is a scoped correctness fix: model_call classification should gate on actual model-call activity, not on embedded-run lifecycle. The existing data was already tracked — it just wasn't wired to consumers. If this level of evidence is acceptable, please merge or advise what else is needed.

Remove hasActiveModelCall from classifySessionAttention and
isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible gates.  Both gates already require
activeWorkKind === 'model_call' (derived from activeModelCalls) and
hasActiveEmbeddedRun, making the extra check redundant.

hasActiveModelCall stays in the snapshot type and population as a
pure diagnostic field for downstream consumers.

V7 — narrowed scope to Option B (invariant cleanup):

  • Removed hasActiveModelCall from classifySessionAttention gate (line 84)
  • Removed hasActiveModelCall from isStalledModelCallRecoveryEligible gate (line 552)
  • hasActiveModelCall stays as a pure diagnostic snapshot field only (populated from activeModelCalls.size > 0)
  • Zero behavior change — all 83 tests pass with no gate logic modifications
  • L2 proof: real getDiagnosticSessionActivitySnapshot call via npx tsx, verifying field population

This addresses all three P1 findings from the 2026-06-30 review.

Thanks for scoping this. Main took a more direct route for #94650: b1da734 removes the hasActiveEmbeddedRun gate from stalled model-call recovery entirely (so no-handle/CLI sessions are now recovery-eligible, not just observable), and ec28935 bounds the lane watchdog so a wedged call can't hold a session lane regardless. That makes the hasActiveModelCall snapshot field scaffolding for a gate that no longer exists, so I'm closing this PR. If there's an observability gap you still want the field for, happy to review a focused follow-up.
