fix(server): ACP follow-ups sent while the agent is still busy are delivered, not failed - #35463
The review item was correct: Effect.retry evaluated while right after a busy rejection, before its 1-second wait, so a Stop during the wait still produced another session/prompt after session/cancel. I replaced the retry with a small helper, sendPromptWhenIdle. It catches only the 'Agent is already processing' AcpRequestError, sleeps 1 second, then checks context.interrupted and context.finalized again before resending. If the turn was stopped, it fails with the busy error instead, and the existing catchCause path finalizes the turn as interrupted, or does nothing if it is already finalized. The now-unused Schedule import is removed. Regression test 'sends no more prompts once a follow-up waiting on a busy agent is stopped' in AcpAdapterV2.test.ts: the follow-up is rejected as busy, the test interrupts the turn, waits until cancel is sent, advances the clock 1 second, and asserts the turn is 'interrupted' with exactly 2 prompt calls. To support it, the harness gained an optional cancelled Deferred hook on runtime.cancel and now returns providerThread. The test fails on the previous head (expected 3 to equal 2) and passes now. No regex or parser was added. Verification is unit tests only; real oh-my-pi was not run.
Commit f03db4f (origin/main). Ran T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev in a fresh worktree with settings.json configuring the acpRegistry provider as source=local, running a synthetic ACP v1 agent (node script). The agent answers the first session/prompt with end_turn and the text 'Press the key once more, waiting up to 4 minutes.', then for 60 s rejects any session/prompt with JSON-RPC error -32603 'Agent is already processing. Use steer() or followUp() to queue messages, or wait for completion.' (pi-agent-core's Agent.prompt() message). In the web client I picked ACP Registry / Default, sent 'Start the key-press background job', got the reply, then sent 'pressed' within the busy window. The agent log shows T3 sent 'pressed' as a plain session/prompt, which was rejected. The thread showed 'Provider error: Agent is already processing. Use steer() or followUp()...', the sidebar marked the thread Failed, and the message was never delivered. Failing unit test: branch factory/repro-22660 adds 'delivers a follow-up the agent rejects while it is still processing' to apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts. It fails on main with expected 'failed' to equal 'completed'. Real oh-my-pi and Windows were not run.
Evidence
Send 'Start the key-press background job', wait for the first reply and turn completion, then send 'pressed' during the synthetic ACP agent's 60-second busy window. Same Chromium viewport, light theme, fresh synthetic state, and scripted interaction on both commits.

Real oh-my-pi was not run; this proof uses the synthetic ACP v1 busy rejection from triage.
Windows, desktop shell, and mobile were not exercised; this comparison covers the web client.
Stopping during the retry wait was not exercised; this scenario covers eventual delivery after the busy window.
Tests
vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts -t "busy agent is stopped|still processing": 2 passed. With the adapter change stashed (previous head's adapter), the new test fails with expected 3 to equal 2. vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpRegistryAdapterV2.test.ts (apps/server): 141 passed. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (14 packages) and tests (2 files) all pass.

Using a native steer/followUp mechanism (as the Pi adapter does with streamingBehavior) instead of resending; ACP has no standard equivalent.
Showing a 'waiting for the agent' state in the UI while the prompt is being retried.
An interrupt while the prompt is being retried sends session/cancel to the agent, which may also cancel the agent's own background job; existing interrupt behaviour, left unchanged.
A Stop during the busy wait still sends session/cancel to the agent (existing interrupt behaviour), which may also cancel the agent's own background job.

Reproduces #22660: an ACP agent that is still processing
rejects session/prompt with "Agent is already processing", and the
follow-up turn fails instead of being delivered.

…livered, not failed
pi-agent-core based ACP agents (oh-my-pi) end a visible turn while
background work keeps running and reject session/prompt with "Agent is
already processing" until it finishes. The ACP adapter treated that as
a terminal turn failure, so the user's follow-up was lost and the thread
marked Failed.
Resend the prompt every second while the agent answers busy, until it
accepts, the turn is interrupted, or the prompt inactivity timeout fires.

…esent
The busy-prompt retry checked the interrupt and finalize flags only right
after a rejection, before its one-second wait, so a Stop during the wait
still sent session/prompt again after session/cancel. Recheck the flags
after each wait, before resending.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — ACP prompts rejected because the agent is busy are retried at one-second intervals rather than immediately failed. Retries respect stop and finalization state, keeping the change narrowly scoped to transient busy responses.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The ACP adapter retries ordinary prompts when the agent returns a matching busy error. It checks for interruption or finalization between attempts. Tests cover successful retry and stopping retries after interruption.
Ordinary runtime.prompt calls retry matching busy errors after a one-second delay. Retrying stops if the turn is interrupted or finalized. Compaction dispatch is unchanged.
Test retry and interruption apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts
The harness can wrap the native prompt and signal cancellation. Tests verify that a rejected follow-up succeeds after retry, and that interruption stops further prompt calls and produces an interrupted terminal status.
Retrying busy follow-ups should fix the rejected-message failure. In a narrow window while Stop is closing the session, a stopped follow-up may still be resent, or the turn may end as failed instead of interrupted. The impact is bounded and does not block merge, but it is worth tightening.

Explanation
The title names the actual change: ACP follow-up prompts sent while the agent is busy are now delivered instead of failed. The raw summary confirms the adapter now retries on the 'Agent is already processing' error, and the objectives describe the same retry. The title is specific and does not cover every detail, which is acceptable. It is long at 88 characters, but it stays on topic.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #22660 requires that a follow-up sent while an ACP agent is still busy is not lost or sent as a failing plain prompt. It allows delivery as steer or follow-up, or queuing until the agent is idle. The diff in packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts adds sendPromptWhenIdle and wraps the non-compaction runtime.prompt call. It retries only on AcpRequestError messages that start with 'Agent is already processing'. It waits 1 second between attempts and rechecks context.interrupted and context.finalized before each resend. This queues the message until the agent accepts it, and the existing turn flow handles a Stop. The new test in AcpAdapterV2.test.ts covers the busy rejection and stop path with exactly two prompt calls. The change does not add native steer or follow-up support, which the issue allows as an alternative. Evidence is unit tests only. The real oh-my-pi reproduction was not run, so end-to-end behavior is not confirmed.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The production change is limited to the ACP prompt dispatch path for turns. It adds one helper, one retry interval constant, and an error predicate. The compaction branch is unchanged. The import of Schedule is removed because it became unused. The test harness changes in AcpAdapterV2.test.ts (optional cancelled Deferred hook and returning providerThread) support the regression test for #22660. No unrelated files appear in the reviewed diff summary.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is thorough and largely follows the template. It states the problem (a follow-up sent while the ACP agent is busy is rejected as a plain prompt, which fails the thread and loses the message) and gives the change (a sendPromptWhenIdle helper that retries only on the 'Agent is already processing' error after a 1-second wait, rechecking interrupted/finalized state first). It links the issue (fixes #22660) and gives a reproduction on main with a commit hash, environment, and steps. Verification lists focused unit tests with results, a before/after failing-then-passing check, and the scope of what was not tested (real oh-my-pi, Windows, desktop, mobile, and stop during the retry wait). Evidence includes before/after screenshots and recordings. The description also names the model/harness used, as the template asks. Minor gaps: the Scope section does not say why this is a bug fix rather than a feature, although the linked issue covers that, and the 'Change' section is brief about why the harness changes are needed. The 'Not in this change' section is useful context but repeats one bullet. These gaps are not critical.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Use the required Effect function form for the retry operation.
sendPromptWhenIdle is a reusable I/O operation, but it uses a plain function returning an Effect. Use a named Effect.fn for the complete retry operation. Alternatively, use Effect.fnUntraced and explain which enclosing span covers it. Preserve the generic result type and delayed stop check.
As per coding guidelines, “Reusable functions use Effect.fn("Service.operation").” The path instructions require the same convention.

Stop during closure can still let a busy follow-up resend.
After Stop starts closeSession, turn.interrupted stays false until the cancelled idle update arrives or the close returns. The retry guard checks only turn.interrupted || turn.finalized. A follow-up rejected as "Agent is already processing" can therefore be resent up to once per second, for up to the 10-second close timeout. The PR intends a stopped follow-up not to be sent again.
Adding the pending close state to stopped() closes the window. Also map a busy error during that close to interruption in the prompt failure handler. Otherwise the turn finalizes as failed instead of interrupted.
