Problem

an OMP session connected through ACP had finished, but T3 still showed "Waiting on 1 command and 2 background tasks". read-only inspection found an idle provider and a completed latest run, with three tool items still marked running under older cancelled runs.

the ACP adapter closes unfinished tools on successful completion and explicit interruption, but skips that cleanup for provider-side cancellation and prompt failure. those items then get counted as background work after the turn ends.

Change

reuse the existing run-owned tool cleanup for every unsuccessful terminal outcome. cancellation marks unfinished tools interrupted; failure marks them failed. the tool updates are emitted before turn settlement. successful completion keeps its existing foreground-only cleanup, including its background-task and subagent exclusions. explicit Stop handling stays unchanged.

this prevents new stale entries. it does not migrate previously persisted stale items or modify live sessions.

Scope and approval

small, focused reliability fix for an obvious lifecycle gap, submitted under the contribution guide's exception without a prior issue. one production file plus the existing ACP protocol fixture and its regression tests. no UI, settings, or wire-contract changes.

Verification

  • reproduced against the base branch with the real ACP runtime and a subprocess protocol fixture: both cancelled and failed prompts left an unfinished command running; normal completion passed.
  • added cases for a running command and a pending dynamic tool, covering cancellation, failure, and successful completion. all three pass after the fix.
  • vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts -t 'closes unfinished ACP tools|terminalizes an empty|direct Stop on a deferred|background work when interrupted|quarantine drops late': 7 passed, including existing Stop/background-work cases.
  • vp exec tsc-rs --noEmit -p packages/provider-acp/tsconfig.json and vp exec tsc-rs --noEmit -p apps/server/tsconfig.json: passed.
  • targeted vp lint on all three changed files: no errors, four existing warnings outside the changes. targeted vp fmt --check: passed.
  • verified locally on Windows. the live remote OMP session was inspected read-only and was not patched or used to run the regression.

implemented with GPT-6 Astra through the Codex harness in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 7023133

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a small ACP lifecycle bug fix that closes unfinished tool items when provider turns are cancelled or fail, preventing stale background-work indicators. Existing success and explicit-stop paths remain unchanged, and targeted regression coverage exercises the new terminalization behavior.

Walkthrough

The ACP adapter now terminalizes open run-owned tools according to turn outcomes. Mock-agent scenarios, parameterized tests, and orchestration fixtures cover cancellation, failure, end-turn completion, and background-task tracking.

Changes: ACP tool finalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Outcome-aware tool finalization
packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts
The adapter applies failed to open tools after failed turns and interrupted after other non-completed turns, unless child turns continue. Explicitly projected updates no longer register background tasks through the unprojected-update branch.
Outcome scenarios and regression test
apps/server/scripts/acp-mock-agent.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts
The mock agent emits active-tool scenarios selected by an environment setting. Parameterized tests check terminal statuses and completion timestamps for unfinished tools, plus pending-work tracking when background tracking is enabled.
Unfinished-tool fixtures
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/index.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/stop_background_work_after_failed_turn/*
Fixture names and inputs now describe unfinished tools and no longer include an explicit stop-background-work step. The output assertion checks for failed command execution, no pending background tasks, and no run_interrupt_request item.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

  • pingdotgg/t3code#16442: The PR covers cleanup for cancellation and failure when a command remains active after turn settlement; the successful end_turn case with a live command remains outside this change.

Suggested labels: bugfix

Suggested reviewers: maria-rcks, juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 8c26b

The change closes unfinished tools as interrupted or failed when ACP turns cancel or fail, and it leaves tracking for surviving background tasks and subagents untouched. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains after the review. One narrow idle-error case involving a waiting foreground tool remains outside this change and can be handled separately.

Explanation

The title names the main change: unfinished ACP tools are now closed when a turn is cancelled or fails. The changeset matches this. The adapter now terminalizes run-owned tools for every unsuccessful outcome, and the tests cover cancelled, failed, and end_turn cases. The title follows the conventional commit style that the template asks for.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. It explains the bug and the fix, states the scope and the lack of a prior issue, and lists focused tests and checks with observed results. It also notes what was not checked, including the live remote session and production OMP/Grok. The template's Scope section asks for a linked issue or a reason for none, and the author gives a reason. The verification section is specific and not limited to 'tests pass'.

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

Verified the existing head d8fce0bd39a68c5accdd911831aef9003374eb4f on a disposable Linux VM. No changes or pushes were needed.

  • Installed dependencies and ran main 846de873a1 in a separate worktree, then stopped it before starting the exact PR head. Used isolated empty development state and one dev server at a time.
  • Created a project pointing at a real Git repository through the web app. Added a local ACP provider through Settings, using the official codex-acp 0.16.0 binary and real gpt-6.1-sol turns through the VM's Codex proxy. No mocks, fixtures, replay provider, or direct database writes were used for this runtime verification.
  • Drove Chrome with the repository's Playwright dependency. Asked Codex to execute a bounded foreground shell command, waited for its running tool row, then terminated the recorded ACP process to induce a real transport/prompt failure.
  • Main reproduced the defect: the run failed while its command still showed running with a Stop control. Its persisted event sequence had one active command at run settlement. The later server shutdown cancelled that row.
  • On this PR, the same command became failed before the run settled, with a completion timestamp and zero active tool rows. The client showed the provider error without a stale running row or Stop control.
  • Neighboring behavior: a subsequent real shell command returned ACP_NEIGHBOR_OK and completed normally. Another real foreground command stopped through the UI and settled interrupted, also with zero active tools.
  • Blacksmith focused ACP checks passed: 12 passed, covering cancellation/failure cleanup, surviving background tracking, successful completion, idle errors, and direct Stop. Existing CI reports 29 successful checks at this head.

Runtime transcript: https://uploads-production-47e4.up.railway.app/files/72e03838-5f01-4c51-a96b-1c4defffbee7/pr22842-runtime-evidence.txt

Both uploaded screenshots render in this comment. The MP4 image embed does not render on GitHub; opening its uploaded URL played all 12.4 seconds successfully, and seeking to the running and failed states worked in Chrome.

Matching main and PR captures:

main: real ACP failure leaves the command running with Stop

PR: real ACP failure settles the command before the run

real Codex ACP command transitions from running to failed

Not verified

  • Provider-side cancellation without pressing Stop was covered by the focused existing tests, but was not independently induced with the real provider. UI Stop is a separate neighboring check.
  • Production OMP/Grok, surviving native background tasks, subagents, native desktop, iOS/Android, and macOS/Windows were not exercised on this Linux VM.
  • Previously persisted stale items are not migrated. The existing narrow idle-error case with a waiting foreground tool and surviving child work remains outside this RPC failure/cancellation repair.
  • No full suite or new check:changed run was performed because this pass changed no source. Focused existing tests ran remotely through Blacksmith.

packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts:7806-7812
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Terminalize waiting foreground tools on idle failure.

state_update with requires_action creates a foreground dynamic tool with status requiresAction, which normalizes to waiting. terminalizeOpenForegroundTools skips it. If child work survives, finalizeTurn skips the run-owned cleanup too. The finalized context ignores later updates, so the tool can remain visibly waiting after settlement.

🤖 GPT-6.1 Sol responding on behalf of Microck

The outside-diff idle-error finding is a separate lifecycle path: the ACP agent remains alive and child work may continue, unlike the RPC failure/cancellation repaired here. Current main explicitly preserves that behavior in the failure branch. Leaving it unchanged in this focused PR, consistent with the existing runtime verification note; expanding waiting-tool policy would require its own behavior coverage. I am resolving the main conflict while preserving that boundary.

Merged current main (74573fc) into the PR as 8c26b30b. The sole conflict was the failed-turn replay input: retained main’s releasesProviderSession synchronization and this PR’s removal of the explicit Stop step. No live state or sessions changed. Verification on a disposable Raft workspace: check:changed passed format, lint, both knip passes, GraphQL, typecheck across 14 affected packages, and 128 tests. Both unfinished-tools orchestration replay cases also passed. The workspace was destroyed with cleanup confirmed. New-head CI and automatic reviews are pending.
