Problem

Pressing Stop on a Claude thread whose foreground turn had already finished, while background work or a native subagent kept the query alive, closed the query and waited 10 seconds for it to confirm. If it never confirmed, the adapter cleared the query, marked the subagents and background tasks as ended, and reported success. The thread then showed the work as stopped and Force stop was never offered. The foreground Stop path already handles this by returning ProviderAdapterInterruptTimeoutError, which marks the thread unresponsive.

Reproduction: the new adapter test below starts a turn with background work, settles the turn, then requests Stop against a query whose close never ends its message stream. On main the Stop returns Success after the timeout.

Change

  • ClaudeAdapterV2.interruptTurn: the background-only Stop branch now closes the query and waits for confirmation itself, with CLAUDE_STOP_CONFIRM_TIMEOUT_MS. It no longer goes through closeLiveQueryForNativeThread, the fork helper, which deliberately clears the query when the close times out. When closure is not confirmed, the branch logs a warning and fails with ProviderAdapterInterruptTimeoutError, the same as the foreground path. The query, its subagents and the background-task state are left alone, so the Stop is flagged unresponsive and Force stop is offered. The fork paths that use the helper are unchanged.
  • Orchestrator (thread.background-work.settle): when the stopped run has already ended and its interrupt request is flagged unresponsive, settling now records the interrupt result. Force stop of an ended run goes through this path. Without it, the unresponsive Stop would never be answered and every client would keep showing Force stop. The timeline of such a run now ends with the existing "Interrupted · Force stopped by user" row.

Scope and approval

Fixes #30986

Verification

  • ClaudeAdapterV2 background wake turns > a settled Stop reports a timeout when the query never confirms closure (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts). It asserts that the Stop fails with ProviderAdapterInterruptTimeoutError and that the background task stays pending.
    • On main plus the test:
      × a settled Stop reports a timeout when the query never confirms closure
      AssertionError: background-only Stop reported success without confirmed query close: expected 'Success' to equal 'Failure'
      
    • With the fix: passes.
  • Force stop answers an unresponsive Stop of an ended run's background work (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadStop.test.ts).
    • Without the orchestrator change:
      × Force stop answers an unresponsive Stop of an ended run's background work
      AssertionError: Force stop must answer the unresponsive Stop of an ended run: expected undefined to equal 'Force stopped by user'
      
    • With the fix: passes, and the run keeps its completed status.
  • ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts, ThreadStop.test.ts, ThreadManagementService.test.ts, ProviderTurnControlService.test.ts, EffectWorker.test.ts, BackgroundWorkStop.integration.test.ts: 386/386 passed.
  • This is a server-only change with no visible surface, so there are no captures. Not exercised against a live Claude CLI: the bug needs a CLI that never confirms its close, which the SDK query fixture produces deterministically.
  • If the query confirms its close after the 10-second timeout, the Stop stays unresponsive until Force stop, which then clears it.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

… confirmed query close

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
…er closes

Thread Stop on a settled turn with background work closed the live query
through the fork helper, which on a 10 s timeout clears the query, ends its
subagents and background roster, and returns. Stop then reported success
while the CLI could still be running.

The background-only Stop branch now closes and awaits the query itself and,
like the foreground path, fails with ProviderAdapterInterruptTimeoutError
when closure is not confirmed. The query, subagents and roster stay intact,
so the thread is marked unresponsive and Force stop cleans up.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
A background-only Stop whose query closed after the 10 s timeout stayed
"unresponsive" with Force stop on every client: the adapter emptied the
roster, but only a Stop success or Force stop dispatches
thread.background-work.settle, and on a settled run that never wrote the
interrupt result.

The orchestrator now watches provider-thread rosters. When one goes from
listing work to empty and the thread's latest run is settled with an
unanswered unresponsive Stop on that provider thread, it dispatches the
same thread.background-work.settle a successful Stop would. Settling a
settled run now records the interrupt result for such a Stop, which also
withdraws Force stop after a Force stop of background work.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
A late confirmation reactor guessed closure from roster events and could
withdraw Force stop for a newer run's still-live work. Drop it: a background
Stop that timed out stays unresponsive until Force stop, as the issue expects.
Keep the settle branch, which Force stop of an ended run needs to record the
interrupt result, and cover it in ThreadStop.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 6b619c0

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Claude background-only Stop now reports a timeout unless query closure is confirmed, and later settlement fills in the missing Stop result. The change is confined to Stop handling with existing timeout behavior and guarded result bookkeeping.

Walkthrough

Claude background-only Stop now waits for query-close confirmation and returns a timeout error if closure is not confirmed. Force-stop settlement can record an interrupt result for an unresponsive interrupt on an ended run.

Changes: Background Stop and Force Stop

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bound Claude query-close confirmation
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts
For a runtime-restart request with no active turn, interruptTurn waits for query closure up to the configured timeout. If closure is not confirmed, it returns ProviderAdapterInterruptTimeoutError. The test checks that background task state remains present.
Record Force-stop result for ended runs
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadStop.test.ts
When background-work settlement handles an unresponsive interrupt on an ended run with no existing interrupt result, it records the command reason or request message. The test checks that the result references the request and the run remains completed.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a Claude background-only Stop no longer reports success when the query never closes. It matches the adapter change and the linked bug, and it follows the conventional commit format. It does not mention the Orchestrator change for Force stop on ended runs, but the title does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem section gives the bug, expected behavior, and a reproduction. The Change section explains both the adapter and Orchestrator edits and why each is needed. Scope links issue #30986. Verification lists focused tests with before and after results, and it states what was not checked, which is a live Claude CLI. The template asks for a model and harness note when an agent was used. The description says 'AI-assisted' but does not name the model and harness, so this is a minor gap.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#30986] requires that an unconfirmed Claude query close leave background-only Stop unresolved, mark the agent unresponsive, and offer Force stop. The reviewed head changes the background-only branch of ClaudeAdapterV2.interruptTurn. It sets existing.stopping, calls existing.query.close, and waits on existing.closed with Effect.timeoutOption(CLAUDE_STOP_CONFIRM_TIMEOUT_MS). On timeout it logs orchestration-v2.claude-query-stop-timeout and fails with ProviderAdapterInterruptTimeoutError. Query, subagent, and background-task state are not cleared on that path. The clearing code runs only after confirmed closure. The change replaces the closeLiveQueryForNativeThread call in this branch only. Orchestrator also records the unresponsive interrupt result for an ended run during thread.background-work.settle, so Force stop can complete. The ClaudeAdapterV2 regression test asserts the timeout error and the pending task. The ThreadStop test asserts the Force stop result and that the run stays completed. Both reported test results match the reviewed code. The AI-generated raw summary describes the path as a runtime-restart request and the test as an 11-second timeout. The diff does not show either wording, and the code uses CLAUDE_STOP_CONFIRM_TIMEOUT_MS, which the PR describes as 10 seconds. These summary errors do not change the verdict. No live Claude CLI run was done, which the PR states.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against the merge base touches ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, Orchestrator.ts, and the related test files. The ClaudeAdapterV2.ts hunk changes only the background-only Stop branch, as the PR describes. The fork paths that use closeLiveQueryForNativeThread are unchanged. The Orchestrator.ts hunk adds an else if branch for a terminal run. It emits an interrupt-result turn item only when an run_interrupt_request has unresponsiveAt set and no run_interrupt_result exists. This branch supports the Force stop result that issue [#30986] needs for the Stop to be answered. The added tests cover the two changed behaviors. No unrelated change was found in the inspected diffs.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.

On each side, asked Claude to run sleep 300 using Bash with run_in_background=true, reply 'Background command launched', and finish without waiting. Observed the completed foreground reply and Running background-work row. Clicked Stop. Repeated the identical prompt in the same thread using the uploaded driver, recorded Stop, and waited 12 seconds after clicking. Both sides cleared the background-work row and retained the completed replies; neither offered Force stop. The required unconfirmed query closure was not reproduced.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the proof has no capture anyone can open:

  • The base revision falsely clearing background work after the confirmation timeout: no reliable real-app trigger for the Claude query-closure failure was available.
  • The head retaining background work, marking the agent unresponsive, and offering Force stop: the required failure condition was not reached.
  • Force stop recording 'Force stopped by user', answering the interrupt request, and preserving the foreground run's completed status: the required unresponsive state was not reached.
  • No public capture URLs are available because no qualifying real-app capture was produced. No upload was attempted.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
