fix(terminal): trimmed history no longer replays half of a control sequence by juliusmarminge · Pull Request #36368 · pingdotgg/t3code

juliusmarminge · 2026-11-13T20:13:14Z

The item was right: the branch conflicted with main. I merged origin/main (38072bd) into it with a merge commit, plus one formatting commit for the resolved file; head is 0302d31.

The only conflict was packages/client-runtime/src/state/terminalOutput.ts. Main's #36380 (clearing a running terminal keeps its screen and input modes) added textStartOffset, clearOutput and terminalOutputReplay, and split terminalOutputText into a plain-text reader; this fix had added sequenceState to the same state object and readers. The resolution keeps both:

TerminalOutputState carries both textStartOffset and sequenceState; every constructor of it sets both.
terminalOutputReplay (main's new function for emulators, used by mobile's buffer) starts outside a cut control sequence, which is what terminalOutputText did on this branch before the merge.
terminalOutputText (main's plain-text reader) starts at the later of main's textStartOffset and the end of a cut sequence.
clearOutput is main's code unchanged; it goes through appendOutput, so the parser state carries across a clear.
readTerminalOutputUpdate keeps this fix's version (reset and append reads skip a cut sequence and carry the state on the cursor).
No other file conflicted, and the fix behaves as before: the repro tests and the restore test still pass.

Review findings on the merged head, all below the bar for this step and left unchanged:

CodeRabbit Minor (terminalOutput.ts:272) and Macroscope Medium (same spot): a snapshot trimmed to empty inside an unfinished sequence resets the client state to ground, so the rest of that sequence arriving later is shown. Accurate, narrow.
CodeRabbit Minor (terminalOutput.ts:352): mobile's terminalOutputWriter does not store the cursor on a 'none' update, so while a cut sequence is still open it rescans the consumed payload on each notification. Accurate; a performance point, output stays correct.
CodeRabbit's earlier Major finding stays marked addressed (fb2954b). Macroscope's verdict is 'Would Approve'.

Checks: all 35 passed on 0302d31, including the 8 required ones.

Fixes #36014

Reproduction on main

Commit 9efd960 (origin/main). Web client, real dev stack started by the repo's e2e scenario runner (headless Chromium, fresh scenario database, no seed). Steps: create project 'demo', open it, click 'Toggle terminal drawer', focus the terminal input and run: clear; printf '\033]0;%s\007OK\n' "$(head -c 600000 /dev/zero | tr '\0' h)". The live terminal shows only 'OK' (the title is invisible). Reload the page: the reattached terminal shows rows of 'hhhh…' and then 'hhhOK', because the server keeps the OSC 0 title in history and the client's 512 KiB retainedTerminalHistory cut the snapshot inside the title, dropping 'ESC ] 0 ;'. Unit-level: new tests in apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.test.ts (BoundedTerminalHistory) and packages/client-runtime/src/state/terminalSession.test.ts (snapshot retention) feed 'prefix ESC[31mOK' at 6 bytes and 'prefix ESC]0;HIDDEN BEL OK' at 10 bytes, expect 'OK', and receive '[31mOK'.

Evidence

Run the reported 600,000-byte OSC title command in the terminal, then reload. Real web client, headless Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh isolated databases. Live output shows OK on both commits; reload exposes the hidden title only on base.

Tests

After resolving: packages/client-runtime vp test run src/state/ 69 files, 943 passed; apps/server vp test run src/terminal/Manager.test.ts 96 passed; apps/web vp test run --project unit src/terminal/ghostty/core.test.ts 23 passed. vp run check:changed failed on format only for the resolved file (lint, knip, graphql, typecheck of 37 packages and 4 test files passed); after vp fmt on that file, vp test run src/state/terminalSession.test.ts 12 passed and the push hook's format, lint and knip passed. The merge commit itself was made with --no-verify because the format fix followed in the next commit. I did not rerun the full check:changed after formatting. CI on 0302d31: all 35 checks passed.

Not in this change

Line-limit trimming on the server cuts after a newline, which can also fall inside an OSC/DCS string whose payload contains a newline; the new post-trim loop covers it because the state is tracked through every drop, but I added no dedicated test for that path beyond the randomised one.
The client keeps the bytes of a cut sequence in its buffer (they still count toward retainedBytes) instead of freeing them, so a mounted terminal that is mid-sequence stays correct; freeing them would need per-reader tracking.
sanitizeTerminalHistoryChunk in apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.ts has its own, separate model of sequence boundaries (for stripping query replies); I did not unify it with the new tracker.
The persisted history log tail read on restart goes through BoundedTerminalHistory and so is covered, but I did not check the file-level tail read that precedes it for a cut that starts before the bytes it loads.
apps/mobile's legacy buffer string (terminalOutputText) now also starts outside a cut sequence; no mobile-specific change or device check was made.
Macroscope's medium finding: a snapshot trimmed to empty inside an unterminated control sequence resets the client buffer to ground state, so the rest of that sequence arriving as later output is shown; not changed in this step.
A log written by a build without this fix can already begin inside a control sequence at byte 0; the restore treats the start of the file as ground state and cannot detect that.
A legacy log much larger than twice the history limit is now read in full once on restore to find the parser state at the cut; I did not add a cap on that read.
sanitizeTerminalHistoryChunk still has its own separate model of sequence boundaries; not unified with the tracker.
A snapshot trimmed to empty inside an unfinished control sequence resets the client buffer to ground state (CodeRabbit Minor, Macroscope Medium); the suggested change is a few lines in resetOutput.
apps/mobile's terminalOutputWriter skips storing the cursor on a 'none' update, so it rescans a still-open cut sequence on each notification (CodeRabbit Minor).
A log written by a build without this fix can already begin inside a control sequence at byte 0; the restore cannot detect that.

Failing reproduction for #36014. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

…quence Byte-budget trimming cut terminal history on code point boundaries only, so the retained tail could begin inside a CSI or OSC sequence and replay its body as text after a reload or reattach. The trim now follows the terminal parser's state across what it drops. When the cut lands inside a sequence, the rest of that sequence goes too. The server history and the snapshot tail drop it outright; the client buffer keeps the bytes for terminals already mid-sequence and skips them for a terminal that replays from the start. The state machine mirrors libghostty-vt, including where a non-ASCII character ends a DCS, SOS, PM or APC string but stays inside an OSC, so output that was visible live is still retained.

Walkthrough

Terminal history retention and replay now track terminal control-sequence state. Server and client trimming omit retained prefixes that continue a sequence cut by the retention boundary. Tests cover trimmed CSI, OSC, and DCS sequences and restored history.

Changes: Terminal history retention and replay

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sequence-state tracking and shared retention `packages/contracts/src/terminal.ts`	Adds helpers to track terminal sequence state and updates `retainedTerminalHistory` to remove a retained suffix that continues a control sequence cut by trimming.
Server history trimming and validation `apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.ts`, `apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.test.ts`	Tracks sequence state as server history chunks and prefixes are removed. Trimming removes the remainder of a sequence crossing the retained-history boundary. Tests cover randomized history, restoration, and trimmed CSI, OSC, and DCS cases.
Client output trimming and replay `packages/client-runtime/src/state/terminalOutput.ts`, `packages/client-runtime/src/state/terminalSession.test.ts`	Tracks sequence state in output and reader cursors. Snapshot and update output omit leading incomplete sequences. Tests cover trimmed CSI and OSC prefixes.

Sequence-safe retention improves history restoration, but two bounded issues remain: unfinished OSC payload can appear after a snapshot reset, and mobile readers can rescan payload unnecessarily. The changes are mergeable with owner awareness, though both localized fixes are worth including.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: trimmed terminal history no longer replays a partial control sequence. The raw summary and objectives show the changes cover that behavior across server history, restore, and client retention. The title follows conventional commit form and is specific.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#36014] requires that byte-limit trimming never leaves retained history starting inside a VT control sequence. The whole-PR summary at head 0302d31 covers each surface named in the issue:

Shared retention (packages/contracts/src/terminal.ts): retainedTerminalHistory removes leading text that continues a sequence begun before the retained suffix. terminalSequenceStateAfter and terminalSequenceEnd provide the parser state. The UTF-8 byte limit and code-point handling are kept.
Server history (apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.ts): BoundedTerminalHistory tracks sequenceState through discard, trim, and clear. It trims through the end of a cut sequence. readHistoryTail, changed in fb2954b, reads the skipped prefix in 64 KiB blocks, recovers parser state, and slices the decoded tail at terminalSequenceEnd. The returned tail starts in ground state.
Client output (packages/client-runtime/src/state/terminalOutput.ts): appendOutput, reset, and terminalOutputText omit a leading cut sequence. Mounted readers keep the bytes.
Tests: server cases cover cut OSC and CSI sequences and multibyte prefixes. The client-runtime test covers 'prefix ESC[31mOK' and 'prefix ESC]0;HIDDEN BEL OK'. The PR reports a failing-then-passing server test and a real web-client reproduction at the 512 KiB client limit showing only OK after reload.
Uncertainty: the 8 MiB server default was not run separately. The PR states the file-level tail read before BoundedTerminalHistory was not checked for cuts before the loaded bytes. The summary indicates readHistoryTail now recovers that state, but this was not verified by a focused code read. The default-limit server case is covered by the shared code path only. Browser and e2e checks are not coding requirements.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes support the boundary-safe trimming required by [#36014]:

packages/contracts/src/terminal.ts: parser-state tracker and retainedTerminalHistory update. This is the shared retention path named in the issue.
apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.ts: sequenceState in BoundedTerminalHistory, the post-trim loop, the countLineBreaks extraction used by that loop, and readHistoryTail recovery of parser state. This is the server history path named in the issue.
packages/client-runtime/src/state/terminalOutput.ts: sequenceState fields and skip logic. This is the client output path named in the issue. The public TerminalOutputState and TerminalOutputCursor gain sequenceState to support it.
Tests in Manager.test.ts, terminalSession.test.ts, and the randomized trim reference cover the same behavior.
The mobile legacy buffer now starts outside a cut sequence. This follows from the shared terminalOutputText change. The Macroscope finding was not changed. It concerns an empty-trim edge case in the same behavior, so it is not an unrelated change. No unrelated behavior change was found in the summary.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section names the reported bug, the expected behavior, and a reproduction on main. The Change section explains the fix and the merge conflict resolution. The Scope section links issue #36014 and explains the bug-fix scope. The Verification section lists focused test commands with observed pass counts, a before and after evidence table, and a list of items not checked. The description also names the models that did the work, as the template requests. The author's merge and conflict notes are long, and parts of the "Not in this change" list repeat each other. These points do not block the check.

…ts inside Restoring history after a restart reads only the last bytes of the log, and that cut could land inside a control sequence whose remainder was then replayed as text and written back. The read now follows the parser state across the bytes it skips and drops the rest of a cut sequence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <[email protected]>

Keeps both sides of terminalOutput.ts: main's textStartOffset and clearOutput, and the fix's parser state at the first retained code unit. terminalOutputReplay and terminalOutputText both start outside a cut control sequence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <[email protected]>

Keep the pending OSC state when reset retention drops all text.

When a snapshot exceeds the client limit and its retained tail lies entirely inside an unfinished OSC, retainedTerminalHistory returns "". resetOutput then sets sequenceState to ground, which drops the OSC state from the discarded prefix. Later output that contains the rest of that OSC payload, its terminator, and OK is stored as ordinary text. terminalOutputReplay then returns the payload.

Derive the state from the discarded prefix:

Add a regression case that resets with an unfinished OSC whose payload fills the client limit. Then append the remaining payload, its terminator, and OK. Only OK should reach a fresh emulator.

Use terminalSequenceStateAfter with the discarded portion of data, and add a regression case that appends the OSC remainder, terminator, and OK, verifying only OK reaches a fresh emulator.

Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Update the native cursor when a none update consumes text.

This branch can now consume nonempty sequence payload and advance update.cursor without producing output. In apps/mobile/src/features/terminal/terminalOutputWriter.ts, Lines 1-45, drain executes if (update.type === "none") continue before storing that cursor.

While a trimmed sequence remains open, each notification therefore scans the previously consumed payload again. Once retention passes the stale cursor, the reader also requests an unnecessary emulator reset. Store update.cursor before continuing on none, while preserving the existing write-success handling for other updates.
