fix(server): a usage-limited thread no longer auto-settles - #28359
When a run stops on a usage limit, the auto-settle sweep can settle the thread in the same second. The run that kept the thread active has ended, so nothing holds it. Settle-on-merge passes whenever the PR merged after the last user-authored message, which is common when PR-watch or system wakes keep a thread working without a new user message. Inactivity settling hits the same thread when the reset is further out than the inactivity window. Settled threads are excluded from limit recovery, so "Resume at reset", "Snooze until reset" and an armed auto-resume all stop working, and the thread drops out of the active list right when it needs attention.
Seen in a real thread: run 4 failed with usage_limit at 20:46:13Z, and ThreadSettlementServiceV2.sweep dispatched thread.auto-settle at 20:46:13Z. Four recovery attempts at 20:49 to 20:51Z were all rejected. The user never sent a thread.settle.
Change
A usage limit interrupts work rather than finishing it, so the sweep now leaves such a thread alone, the same way it already does for pending runtime requests and link requests.
getSettlementCandidates (ProjectionStore.ts) skips a thread whose latest executed run failed and whose latest root error is usage_limit. It uses the same run selection as the shell's blocked join and getLimitRecoveryCandidates, so a message queued behind the limit does not hide it. Like threadErrorSummary, a newer session error that differs from the failure message replaces the limit, so the thread is then treated like any other failed thread. A cheap EXISTS on usage-limit error items runs first, so other threads skip the per-thread run sort.
isAutoSettlementCandidate applies the same rule to shell threads (status: "failed", lastErrorClass: "usage_limit"), so the candidate and the shell agree. Subagents are the exception: they reach the sweep only once their parent is put away, so abandoned limited subagents still settle for cleanup.
A thread that failed for any other reason still settles as before. Once the user sends a message or recovery resumes the thread, its latest run is no longer a usage-limit failure, so it becomes eligible again.
Why "never settle" rather than "settle after the reset"
A limited thread waits on the user, like a pending request, so it is handled the same way: it stays visible until someone acts, and the user can still settle it by hand. Exempting it only until the reset would need the reset time in both the SQL and shell candidates, plus a grace window so the sweep cannot settle the thread in the minute before auto-resume fires. That is more code for the case of a limited thread nobody returns to.
Scope
Fixes#28362 (auto-settle on PR merge settles a usage-limited thread, so "Resume at reset" and "Snooze until reset" always fail) and #18928 (inactivity auto-settle cancels a pending usage-limit auto-resume). This is one bug: the settle sweep defeats the existing usage-limit recovery. It adds no setting and no new behavior beyond keeping these threads unsettled. The banner and error-message side of #28362 is #28360.
Verification
ProjectionSettlement.test.ts › sql: discovers settlement work with the same activity and background semantics as the shell seeds a usage-limited thread, a thread with a message queued behind its limit, and a usage limit that ended after a newer failed run, all excluded, plus a provider_error thread and a limit superseded by a differing session error, both eligible. It fails on main (97cfc07759) and passes here.
vp run check:changed origin/main: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck and 107 tests pass.
Live, through the real Codex adapter: the real codex CLI pointed at a localhost stub that answers 429 usage_limit_reached, on an isolated server home, with the server clock moved so the 1-day inactivity window applies. On main both threads auto-settle (one on PR merge, one after 3 idle days). On this branch neither does, and both keep auto-resume armed. The transcript and the script are in the comments.
Not checked: an armed auto-resume firing at a real reset time, and a first-party Claude or ChatGPT account hitting a real limit. On main, limitRecoveryCommand returns nothing for a settled thread, so the armed resume cannot fire there; this is from the code, not observed.
A run that stops on a usage limit ends the activity that kept the thread
active, so the settle sweep could settle it in the same second (for
example when its pull request had merged). Settled threads refuse limit
recovery, so Resume at reset and Snooze until reset then always failed.
Settlement candidates now skip a thread whose latest run failed with a
usage_limit root error, and isAutoSettlementCandidate applies the same
rule to shell threads.
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Usage-limited threads are excluded from automatic settlement to preserve recovery controls, changing their default lifecycle behavior. Human review must confirm that policy; the unresolved finding also reports a newer-run scenario that can still hide those controls.

…d threads
A message queued behind a usage limit becomes the newest run, so checking
only the newest run let the sweep settle a thread the shell still shows as
limited. Use the latest executed run, as the shell and the recovery worker
do, and its latest root error.

Walkthrough
The projection query excludes qualifying usage-limit failures from settlement candidates. The auto-settlement predicate also rejects failed threads whose lastErrorClass is usage_limit. Tests cover provider errors, provider-session errors, queued runs, and run completion order.
The projection query excludes qualifying usage-limit failures based on the latest executed run and provider-session error. Tests cover queued runs, completion-time ordering, and provider-session errors.
The settlement change appears ready to merge after normal checks; no remaining issue was established that would incorrectly settle a usage-limited thread.

Explanation
The title "fix(server): a usage-limited thread no longer auto-settles" states the main change. The change keeps threads stopped by a usage limit from being auto-settled by the settle-on-merge sweep. It uses a conventional commit prefix and plain language, and the scope (server) matches the changed files under apps/server.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue [#28362] requires the auto-settlement defect to be fixed for usage-limited threads. ProjectionStore.ts excludes threads whose latest executed failed run has root error usage_limit, including queued and out-of-order runs. ThreadSettlementService.ts applies the matching lastErrorClass: "usage_limit" rule. Tests cover recovery eligibility and preserve settlement for other failures. The banner and error-message defects are separate scope identified in the issue.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes remain within the settlement objective in [#28362]. The SQL candidate query, shell candidate check, and focused tests keep usage-limit behavior consistent. Tests for provider failures and superseding session errors support the required unchanged behavior. No unrelated product change is shown.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description has strong content on the problem, change, scope, and verification. It fails the template in two places. First, the Verification section lists focused tests and a repo check with results, but the live test evidence is only referenced as comments that are not in the description. Second, the title line is missing, and the template asks for a conventional commit title, which the description does not supply. The Problem, Change, and Scope sections are complete. The description is mostly complete, but these gaps keep it from a pass.
Resolution
Add a conventional commit title in plain language, such as "fix(server): a usage-limited thread no longer auto-settles". Move or copy the live-verification transcript and script into the PR, or summarize the observed results in the Verification section, because the referenced comments are not part of the description. Keep the existing Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification content. The model and harness line is already present.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Check the latest root error, not any root error.
If one failed run has an earlier usage_limit root error and a later provider_error root error, this EXISTS excludes the thread. The shell selects the later error and treats the thread as provider-failed, so the two settlement paths disagree. Apply the shell’s error ordering before comparing the failure class.

…ttle
The shell drops the usage-limit class when the provider session reports a
different, newer error, so it shows no recovery controls. The settlement
query now applies the same rule instead of holding such a thread.
Add coverage for a matching provider-session error.
createFailure sets the usage-limit failure message to "usage_limit". The test covers an absent session error and a different error ("Session crashed."), but not a session error equal to "usage_limit". If the SQL condition regresses to absent-only, that regression passes the current assertions. Add a matching-error fixture and keep it out of the expected eligible set.

Cover the reverse completion order in the SQL fixture.
The fixture covers a lower-ordinal usage_limit run that completes after a higher-ordinal provider_error run. It does not cover a lower-ordinal provider_error run that completes after a higher-ordinal usage_limit run. Add this case and assert that the thread remains eligible. This distinguishes completion-time selection from ordinal selection.

A subagent whose parent is settled, archived or deleted settles so its
terminals close and its settle script runs. The usage-limit hold now
applies to such a child only while auto-resume is armed for its blocked
run, which the limit recovery worker then owns.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Children of a settled, archived or deleted parent are abandoned work.
Holding one because auto-resume was armed let the resume fire at reset
and reopen the settled parent. The usage-limit hold now applies only to
non-subagent threads, as main already settles abandoned children.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:
Permanent blocker: the reproduction needs a provider usage-limit interruption with scheduled recovery. The scenario runner explicitly cannot create a usage-limited run, and first-party Claude or ChatGPT OAuth usage, limit, and renewal flows are unavailable on this VM. Both inactivity-based and merged-PR settlement behavior remain unverified.
🤖 T3 Code agent responding on behalf of EhsanulHaqueSiam
The usage-limited run can be created without first-party OAuth, and with it both settle paths reproduce on main and are fixed here.
The real codex CLI pointed at a localhost Responses stub that answers 429 usage_limit_reached (with x-codex-primary-* headers) fails the run through CodexAdapterV2 as usage_limit with a resetAt, and auto-resume arms. A test-only --import preload shifts the server's Date.now(), so the limit hits 3 days in the past and the 1-day inactivity window then applies. Each run uses a fresh, isolated T3 home. The merged-PR thread sits on the head branch of a same-repo PR that merged in the last 2 days, after the thread's message.
Same script, both checkouts:
main: both threads auto-settle. The merged-PR thread is settled before auto-resume can arm.

Problem
When a run stops on a usage limit, the auto-settle sweep can settle the thread in the same second. The run that kept the thread active has ended, so nothing holds it. Settle-on-merge passes whenever the PR merged after the last user-authored message, which is common when PR-watch or system wakes keep a thread working without a new user message. Inactivity settling hits the same thread when the reset is further out than the inactivity window. Settled threads are excluded from limit recovery, so "Resume at reset", "Snooze until reset" and an armed auto-resume all stop working, and the thread drops out of the active list right when it needs attention.

usage_limitat 20:46:13Z, andThreadSettlementServiceV2.sweepdispatchedthread.auto-settleat 20:46:13Z. Four recovery attempts at 20:49 to 20:51Z were all rejected. The user never sent athread.settle.Change
A usage limit interrupts work rather than finishing it, so the sweep now leaves such a thread alone, the same way it already does for pending runtime requests and link requests.
getSettlementCandidates(ProjectionStore.ts) skips a thread whose latest executed run failed and whose latest root error isusage_limit. It uses the same run selection as the shell'sblockedjoin andgetLimitRecoveryCandidates, so a message queued behind the limit does not hide it. LikethreadErrorSummary, a newer session error that differs from the failure message replaces the limit, so the thread is then treated like any other failed thread. A cheap EXISTS on usage-limit error items runs first, so other threads skip the per-thread run sort.isAutoSettlementCandidateapplies the same rule to shell threads (status: "failed",lastErrorClass: "usage_limit"), so the candidate and the shell agree. Subagents are the exception: they reach the sweep only once their parent is put away, so abandoned limited subagents still settle for cleanup.A thread that failed for any other reason still settles as before. Once the user sends a message or recovery resumes the thread, its latest run is no longer a usage-limit failure, so it becomes eligible again.
Why "never settle" rather than "settle after the reset"
A limited thread waits on the user, like a pending request, so it is handled the same way: it stays visible until someone acts, and the user can still settle it by hand. Exempting it only until the reset would need the reset time in both the SQL and shell candidates, plus a grace window so the sweep cannot settle the thread in the minute before auto-resume fires. That is more code for the case of a limited thread nobody returns to.
Scope
Fixes #28362 (auto-settle on PR merge settles a usage-limited thread, so "Resume at reset" and "Snooze until reset" always fail) and #18928 (inactivity auto-settle cancels a pending usage-limit auto-resume). This is one bug: the settle sweep defeats the existing usage-limit recovery. It adds no setting and no new behavior beyond keeping these threads unsettled. The banner and error-message side of #28362 is #28360.
Verification
ProjectionSettlement.test.ts › sql: discovers settlement work with the same activity and background semantics as the shellseeds a usage-limited thread, a thread with a message queued behind its limit, and a usage limit that ended after a newer failed run, all excluded, plus aprovider_errorthread and a limit superseded by a differing session error, both eligible. It fails onmain(97cfc07759) and passes here.vp run check:changed origin/main: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck and 107 tests pass.codexCLI pointed at a localhost stub that answers 429usage_limit_reached, on an isolated server home, with the server clock moved so the 1-day inactivity window applies. Onmainboth threads auto-settle (one on PR merge, one after 3 idle days). On this branch neither does, and both keep auto-resume armed. The transcript and the script are in the comments.main,limitRecoveryCommandreturns nothing for a settled thread, so the armed resume cannot fire there; this is from the code, not observed.Fixes #28362
