Problem

Direct sends refused provider/account handoffs while the old session had background work, although queued sends could proceed. A queued account resume could also close Claude between an empty roster and its completion notification, losing the reply. Late retained-session updates could pull the active route back to the old account.

Change

Keep busy source sessions alive across direct/queued handoffs and fresh starts. Native-history account resumes wait for the source's owed wake, drain buffered output first, and retry from completion events. Buffered continuations carry their owning provider thread through dispatch and queue promotion; the existing enabled-provider guard checks that same owner. Retained updates preserve the active route and explicit provider/model selection.

Main Stop interrupts retained roster-only work even when the selected target failed before acquiring a provider turn. It preserves that target's failure, route, selection, and late-tool-call guard. Existing Stop holds, recovery, foreground selection protections, and scheduled fresh starts remain covered; no polling or routing-policy redesign.

Scope

Addresses #32296 and the lost-wake/route findings in this PR. Server behavior shared by clients, MCP, and schedules; no client UI or new selection policy. The issue is untriaged; no maintainer approval is claimed. This replaces the old implementation and verification claims; earlier automated approval applies only to its historical head.

Verification

  • Reproduced the original premature-close race and current-main handoff refusal. Removing continuation ownership reproduced the three ownership regressions. The failed-target Stop regression failed on the previous implementation and passed with the fix.
  • Controlled SDK frames exercise the real Claude adapter, orchestrator, event sink, SQLite projections, and effect worker. Direct/queued account resumes preserve the empty-roster → notification → wake-reply sequence. Continuation tests cover direct/queued handoffs and fresh starts, owner enablement, route/selection isolation, and retirement.
  • Final vp run check:changed 2dd207aabc29d7852554a4b2939f646cd3a83e1c --concurrency 1: all gates passed, 785 tests and 37 affected/dependent typechecks. Both Stop runtime probes also passed again on the rebased head. Independent round 3: 66 focused tests and exact-old red/fixed runtime proof.
  • Rebased all three approved commits onto 2dd207aa; range-diff marks each equivalent and the final patch is byte-for-byte identical to the approved diff. Newer main changes do not touch the behavior or its dependencies.

Safe runtime ledger after effect drain (controlled SDK, no live provider):

Stop after completed target: source query closed; persisted source roster empty;
  authoritative pending work false; target route/selection preserved.
Stop after target startup failure: no target provider turn; source query closed;
  persisted roster empty; authoritative pending work false;
  target failure/run/attempts/nodes/errors/turns unchanged; late-call guard retained.

No native/live provider, paid turn, browser, Electron, or mobile verification. Upstream CI and reviews must evaluate the rewritten head.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 0055857

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Requested handoffs can proceed without terminating background work, while native-thread restarts wait for that work to settle. Existing queue safeguards remain, with no product-default changes or obvious material risk identified.

Walkthrough

Provider-switch dispatch now accounts for background work, buffered provider notifications, and fresh-context boundaries. Dispatch and settlement events can start queued runs. Tests cover provider switching, held queues, background-work completion, and fresh-context thread reuse.

Changes: Provider switching with background work

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider selection and busy-session dispatch
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts
Dispatch checks the fresh-context boundary and plans provider switches against the active provider thread. It tracks releasable sessions and no longer rejects dispatch solely because a session has background work.
Queued-run ordering and work settlement
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderSwitch.integration.test.ts
Queue selection can prioritize buffered provider wakes. Dispatch and settlement events attempt queued-run startup with settlement-aware checks. The Claude adapter treats buffered task notifications as pending background work. Tests cover queue resumption, buffered output, held queues, session retention, and fresh-context thread reuse.

Explanation

[#32296] The direct dispatch path no longer refuses provider handoffs or fresh starts when releasable sessions have background work. It preserves busy source sessions. Native-account resumes queue until work settles and retry from provider-thread, subagent, and node completion events. The tests cover direct handoffs, account resumes, fresh starts, buffered output ordering, held queues, later-message ordering, and fresh-context isolation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within server orchestration and supporting server tests for [#32296]. Buffered wake handling, session retention, completion-event retries, queue ordering, and pending-work detection support the linked issue. No client changes, explicit selection-command changes, polling, or default-setting changes are shown.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(server): preserve background replies across provider handoffs" matches the main change. The summary and objectives describe keeping busy source sessions alive across provider/account handoffs and fresh starts, and delivering background work replies (wakes, buffered output, task notifications) when a handoff occurs. The title follows conventional commit style, is a single sentence, and names the server scope. Its wording is a little broad, since the change also covers Stop handling and retained-route updates, but it describes a real and primary aspect of the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template structure. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and it fills in each one with specific content. The Problem section states the expected behavior and the failure (refused direct sends, lost reply in the queued account resume, and route regression). The Change section explains the fix across the components it touches. The Scope section links issue #32296 and states that the change is server-only. The Verification section lists the commands run, test counts, and runtime results, and it states what was not checked (no live provider, client UI, or mobile verification). Some passages are dense and refer to internal review rounds and commit ranges that a reader outside the review may not follow. The template also asks for a single underlying problem per PR. The description covers several related items (handoffs, Stop behavior, retained-route updates), so a reviewer may ask whether the PR should be split. These points do not make the description largely incomplete.

14370-14376: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Filter node.updated events before the merge.

The code at about line 14328 already follows this pattern: "Filter run updates before buffering so blocked queue promotion does not retain unrelated tool bodies." The new node.updated stream does not follow it. Every node update in every thread enters the merged stream. Only completed tool_call nodes pass the later filter.

runForEach takes a thread lock and runs serially. While it waits, unrelated node updates build up in the stream buffer. Apply the node predicate to the node.updated stream before Stream.merge.

♻️ Proposed change

-      eventSink.stream({ afterSequence: terminalEventsAfterSequence, eventType: "node.updated" }),
+      eventSink
+        .stream({ afterSequence: terminalEventsAfterSequence, eventType: "node.updated" })
+        .pipe(
+          Stream.filter(
+            (stored) =>
+              stored.event.type === "node.updated" &&

+        ),

Then remove the node.updated clause from the later Stream.filter.

Preserve the owning thread for buffered continuations

If a fresh Claude session starts while the old session has background work, a later wake can run on the fresh thread. ProviderContinuationService discards the wake’s providerThreadId, so the old session’s frames remain buffered. Carry the owner through dispatch and queued promotion; selecting a post-boundary source for account switches does not restore that ownership.

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

the reviewers still had findings after 3 rounds (the work is on main...t3/queue-busy-handoff):

  1. [major] apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts:14379: Worse than main: automatic queue resumption can close Claude's session before its background completion notification arrives, losing the pending reply. Claude permits an empty background_tasks_changed roster before task_notification. During that interval, hasPendingBackgroundWork returns false: the roster is empty, no notification is buffered, and the probe ignores wakeEligibleBackgroundTasksByNativeThread. This new listener therefore resumes the account switch and detaches the source process. Main keeps the queued switch held and preserves that process; I checked main's implementation with a scratch regression asserting that an empty-roster event leaves the session open. Preserve pending notification delivery in the session probe before automatically resuming.
    Fails with: A supported Claude account setup sharing native history: start a background Bash task, queue a switch to another Claude account, and let the root turn finish while the task continues. Claude then emits background_tasks_changed with tasks: [], followed later by task_notification and its wake response. If queue resumption runs between those frames, this head closes the original CLI before it can deliver the notification. Add a regression covering this exact frame order; the existing buffered-output fixtures set bufferedWake immediately and miss the interval before buffering begins.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

A case that may help here, on 0.1.8 (Linux server, macOS client). The handoff succeeded, then the old session pulled the thread back and blocked every send to the new account, though nothing was running.

  1. A thread on Claude account A had background commands and delegated tasks running. A direct send to account B was refused, as in [Bug]: A send that would release a session's background work is refused, though the same message queued behind a turn is accepted #32296. A send queued during a wake run then handed off fine, and B ran 6 turns over the next 25 minutes.
  2. A background command on the old session A finished. A woke and ran a 7-minute turn on its own, which never appeared in the thread. Its T3 MCP tools were rejected for authorization, so its report reached no one. The turn ended with a non-empty result.
  3. From then on, every send to B was refused with "The previous provider is still running background agents or commands…". Both Claude processes were idle with no child processes, and every task had reported finishing. Delegated-task completions for the thread were retried every 5 seconds and refused the same way.
  4. Picking account A again in the composer let the send through.

The projection showed the thread still on instance B, but its activeProviderThreadId pointed at A's provider thread. A's provider thread had been updated during step 2.

Hint, not verified end to end: provider-thread.updated sets activeProviderThreadId in ProjectionStore.ts, so A's wake activity seems to make each send to B count as a switch again. A's buffered result then counts as background work in ClaudeAdapterV2's hasPendingBackgroundWork.

Drafted with Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code in T3 Code) on behalf of @lingolooper-simon.

The Stop reach itself now ships with the pingdotgg#32508 fix (Stop probes every
live provider thread of the app thread). This adds the fake-adapter
coverage for the hand-off cases: Stop on an idle thread whose only
background work the adapter sees, and Stop reaching an older kept
session's work after and while a newer run is active.

The remaining refusal over background work (a Claude model or setting
change) uses one phrase from `@t3tools/shared`, so clients can offer
Stop next to it.

Hi @voltcrash, these four commits on top of e825f5a address the open finding above and @lingolooper-simon's case: MikaMcFlurry/t3code@e825f5a...mika/pr-32508-fix

  1. 3618c85dfa covers the finding above. With two real ClaudeAdapterV2 instances sharing history (fixture, no live Claude), an empty background_tasks_changed roster before task_notification let queue resumption close the source query before its notification arrived. The session now stays until that wake is delivered. The regression uses that exact frame order.
  2. ca0de8ac4a: a late provider-thread.updated from the retained session no longer resets the active route to A. This looks like the cause of steps 3–4 above, though I haven't reproduced that exact setup.
  3. 5414cfda72: if the notification never arrives, thread.stop followed by queue.resume recovers the switch.
  4. f48b8682d2: Stop also reaches older retained busy sessions when a newer account fails before its first turn.

Each commit has a test that fails without it. At f48b8682d2, format, lint, knip and typecheck pass, and 605 of 606 tests pass on Node 24.22. The one failure (SQLite statement.stat) also occurs on unchanged e825f5a.

Happy to open this as a PR if that's easier to pick up.

Tested 972a3d0024 against 2dd207aabc.

  • The direct-send and queued-resume regressions from [Bug]: A send that would release a session's background work is refused, though the same message queued behind a turn is accepted #32296 pass. "keeps a busy previous session running when a direct send hands off", "resumes a direct account switch when a background tool finishes", "waits for background work before resuming a queued account switch" and the four "preserves Claude background-work ownership and target selection for a switch %s" variants fail on base (the queued Claude variant times out) and pass on the head.
  • The scenarios from 3618c85dfa, 5414cfda72 and ca0de8ac4a also pass with their tests ported onto this head.
  • The Stop regression from f48b8682d2 still fails, also when the newest account completes instead of failing: with three accounts, the first two complete but keep probe-visible work, and thread.stop interrupts neither of them. Keeping a session goes by the adapter's probe, while Stop picks other threads from eligible pending turn items or a persisted pendingBackgroundTasks roster. Codex has a real state like that: a persistent dynamic tool keeps its probe busy after the turn completes but is excluded from Stop's eligible items (checked with the real adapter; the three-account run uses a synthetic one). The roster-backed Claude cases I tested, including an emptied native roster with an owed wake, pass.
  • fix(server): a setting change no longer detaches a busy session kept from an earlier hand-off #35258 is still needed on top: "refuses a later instance change while a retained hand-off session runs background work" fails on this head. The branches conflict only in that test file and pass together once it is resolved.

A correction to what Ryan and I wrote on #32296: the #22755 gate does not block picking another instance in the composer. Since #31739 (402d0623d5), web and mobile keep such a pick until the next send, which carries it in message.dispatch and reaches this PR's hand-off path. I found no other client path that sends an instance change right away. The gate still applies to same-instance picks that release the session, and to thread.model-selection.set and provider.switch from API or MCP callers during a waiting run.
