What Changed

  • OpenCode reasoning lifecycle is preserved instead of discarded at ingestion
  • Boundary-only thoughts get meaningful Thinking / Thought timing and split tool groups
  • Provider-supplied readable reasoning streams inline as Markdown between tools
  • Lifecycle survives reload and stays consistent on web and mobile

Why

OpenCode already supplies useful reasoning boundaries and, for some models, readable reasoning text. T3 discarded that OpenCode reasoning from the timeline, so long turns looked frozen and unrelated tool activity collapsed into one opaque group.

This uses the existing provider-neutral activity and timeline system: structural thoughts when only boundaries exist, inline Markdown when the provider supplies text, and the existing single Worked-for / You-stopped fold when a turn settles.

UI Changes

Before, OpenCode could sit in a turn-long Thinking state with a giant tool group:

Pre-fix OpenCode timeline

After, readable reasoning streams inline between tool groups, and settled turns fold into one Worked-for row:

After OpenCode reasoning timeline

Watch live reasoning/tool alternation and the final Worked-for fold

Verification

  • Focused suite: 577 passed, 1 skipped
  • Targeted format check passed for changed projection files
  • tsc -p apps/server --noEmit exited 0
  • git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD clean
  • Manual OpenCode run confirmed inline reasoning, tool splits, and Worked-for fold

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change spans OpenCode event emission, server retention, shared timeline derivation, and both web and mobile rendering, making it a substantial production behavior change rather than a small isolated fix. Extensive tests are included, but unresolved risks remain around live-thought arbitration, finalization, and duplicate or stale UI rows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds reasoning-segment lifecycle events, preserves them through server projections, derives timing and labels in shared work-log logic, and renders live, completed, interrupted, and settled thought rows in web and mobile feeds.

Changes

Reasoning segment lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider reasoning lifecycle
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/OpenCodeAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/OpenCodeAdapter.test.ts
OpenCode tracks one open reasoning part and emits lifecycle events when reasoning starts, ends, is superseded, completed, or interrupted.
Activity ingestion and snapshot projection
apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProviderRuntimeIngestion.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/ActivityPayloadProjection.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/**/*.test.ts
Reasoning lifecycle events become tool activities. Thread snapshots retain reasoning updates with their completions while superseded ordinary tool updates remain filtered.
Reasoning work-log contracts and derivation
packages/client-runtime/src/work-log/presentation.ts, apps/web/src/session-logic.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/work-log/presentation.test.ts, apps/web/src/session-logic.test.ts
Reasoning entries receive thinking classification, preserved segment start times, computed spans, elapsed durations, and Thought or Thought for <duration> labels.
Web and mobile reasoning rows
apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.test.ts
Timeline logic separates reasoning from tools, selects the latest eligible live thought, renders completed and interrupted thoughts as static rows, and folds settled thoughts with their turns.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 91ae2

Session teardown can leave a thought incorrectly shown as live, while some event ordering can move the live indicator back to an older thought. These should be fixed before merge.

Keep completed reasoning out of activeWorkEntryIds.

When a completed reasoning entry directly precedes a live tool, the active-tail scan adds both entries. activeWorkEntryIds then skips the reasoning entry before static reasoning rendering, so the completed Thought row is omitted. The live tool remains available, so this is a localized history presentation defect.

Exclude completed reasoning entries from activeWorkEntryIds while retaining the live tool entry.

Close the open reasoning segment on session.error.

session.error captures activeTurnId but emits the failed turn.completed event without calling completeOpenReasoningSegment. When a later turn starts reasoning, that helper completes the stale segment with the later turn ID. Call it with activeTurnId before emitting the failed terminal event.

Addressed the two CodeRabbit findings reported outside the inline diff in 2a8069597e:

  • completed reasoning is excluded from activeWorkEntryIds, so a static Thought for Xs remains visible beside an adjacent live tool;
  • session.error finalizes the open reasoning segment with the captured active turn before terminal cleanup, preventing it from leaking into a later turn.

Also fixed the mobile feed-order arbitration and expanded-detail live state, and removed the interruption test's competing stream consumer. Focused verification after formatting: 546 passed, 1 skipped across 7 files; targeted lint/typechecks and git diff --check pass.

Addressed the final bounded CodeRabbit review in 5f427ae8be:

  • every normal adapter shutdown path now completes an open reasoning lifecycle before closing the session scope;
  • unexpected event-stream/server teardown completes it before runtime.error and session.exited;
  • a later terminal reasoning boundary now clears the live candidate on web and mobile instead of reactivating an older stale thought.

Focused regressions cover graceful stop, unexpected disconnect ordering, and A(inProgress) → B(inProgress) → B(completed) on both clients. Verification: 551 passed, 1 skipped across 7 focused files; server/web/mobile typechecks, targeted formatting/lint, and git diff --check pass.

OpenCode reasoning parts only ever surfaced as reasoning_text deltas, which shared ingestion intentionally drops, so long agent turns collapsed into one opaque Thinking state plus a giant tool pile - even though native part identity and time metadata already describe thought/tool/thought structure (notably for models with empty reasoning text).

The OpenCode adapter now emits the existing canonical reasoning item lifecycle (item.updated inProgress on first sight, item.completed on native time.end, never text), ingestion projects reasoning items to tool-kind activities provider-neutrally, snapshots keep the update/completion pairs reloads need for durations, and web/mobile break tool groups at thinking boundaries rendering compact Thought for Ns rows plus a live Thinking state.
…them live

Historical thoughts rendered as animated Thinking rows: completions only arrived on native time.end (often turn end), and any in-progress entry of the working turn took the live branch, so commentary-split turns animated several thoughts at once.

The adapter now closes the single open thought when a tool starts, commentary flows, a new thought begins, or the turn settles (native end preferred, observation time otherwise). Lifecycle pairs merge by identity preserving the segment start, so interleaved tools cannot split timing; timelines designate exactly one live thought and render history statically as Thought for Xs (or Thought without accurate timing).
OpenCode already emitted reasoning_text deltas, but this branch treated
reasoning as lifecycle-only and never put text on the thought item, so
DeepSeek-style readable reasoning collapsed to generic Thought for Xs.

Carry non-empty provider reasoning on lifecycle detail (stream + complete),
leave empty reasoning structural-only, and stop truncating reasoning detail
in ingestion. No model-name hardcoding; Codex/Claude paths unchanged.
Match Codex: when a thought has provider-supplied detail, open it by
default on web and always surface the body on mobile instead of hiding
it behind a closed disclosure. Empty/boundary-only thoughts stay label-only.
Match Codex UX: provider-supplied reasoning text streams as chronological
Markdown between tools, without per-thought Thought-for-Xs accordions.
Boundary-only segments keep Thinking / Thought timing. Settled turns still
fold into the existing single Worked-for / You-stopped disclosure.
Readable OpenCode reasoning streams full-body detail on repeated
item.updated events. Snapshot projection kept every update, so long
thoughts retained cumulative prefixes.

Keep the first update for start timing (without partial detail once
completed) and the latest/final text only. Live appends are unchanged.
In-flight reasoning snapshots must keep the first update for segment start
and the latest update for current detail. Strip partial detail from the
start row when a later update or completion carries the body text.
Upstream typed AssistantMarkdownContent against MarkdownStyleSet; pass
markdownStyles.assistant after the rebase instead of the style-set bag.
Carry delta-only reasoning growth on item.updated so live Markdown updates
without O(N^2) cumulative bodies, refresh completed-part edits, gate status-less
Codex reasoning out of ingestion, and keep stable reasoning-markdown row ids.
