#9139 gave grok monitors and background shells a monitoring pill, but t3 only closed a task when the model polled it with TaskOutput or killed it. grok's monitor tool tells the model not to poll, so when a monitor or shell ended on its own the pill stayed up until the session was stopped or the server restarted. nothing else clears thread background liveness, and the idle reaper skips threads that have it.

grok does report the end itself: a task_completed update carrying a task_snapshot, sent as both _x.ai/task_completed and _x.ai/session/update. this handles that notice and closes only tasks t3 already started.

ordering is the subtle part. ext notification handlers run inline in the single acp read loop, while session updates are applied later by the adapter's event consumer, so a notice can be handled before an earlier start has been applied. waiting on the event stream from inside a handler would block the only reader and deadlock session start and load, so the handler never blocks:

  • a notice for a task whose task.started has not been published yet is parked, and the consumer applies it right after it publishes that start. this also guarantees task.completed is never published before task.started.
  • closed task ids are remembered (bounded), so a later TaskOutput poll for the same task, which grok often sends after the notice, cannot re-create it.
  • notices from other acp sessions are ignored, and only task_completed updates are written to the native log.

already-exited kills stay as #9139 intended; this notice closes those tasks anyway.

verified with 109 focused tests across XAiBackgroundTasks and GrokAdapter through the acp mock agent, covering notice before start, dual delivery, _x.ai/session/update-only delivery, late terminal and running polls, orphan and foreign-session notices, plus server typecheck and scoped lint and formatting. the incident behind this: a thread kept three finished monitors and a finished shell "monitoring" for hours, each with a task_completed notice at the moment it ended.

model: composer-2.5 (implementation), claude-opus-5 (investigation and review); harness: cursor, claude code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Grok background-task monitoring, including completions received before task startup.
    • Prevented duplicate, orphaned, foreign-session, and missing-session completion notices from generating incorrect task updates.
    • Preserved accurate task status across polling, session updates, and post-turn completions.
    • Prevented closed tasks from being recreated or emitting repeated completion events.
    • Correctly finalized tasks reported as completed even when detailed terminal status information is unavailable.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR changes production Grok task lifecycle handling across ACP notifications and event processing, adding stateful ordering, deduplication, and late-poll suppression. Its extensive tests improve confidence, but the runtime coordination is substantial enough to merit focused human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Grok task completion notice handling. It tracks pending, published, and closed tasks, emits completion events, prevents duplicate task recreation, and adds mock-agent scenarios with unit and live integration coverage.

Changes

Grok task completion lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Task lifecycle helpers
apps/server/src/provider/acp/XAiBackgroundTasks.ts, apps/server/src/provider/acp/XAiBackgroundTasks.test.ts
The ACP helpers classify completion notices, track pending and closed task IDs, attribute turn IDs, resolve completion status, and emit task.completed events.
Adapter notification wiring
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.ts
Grok sessions handle _x.ai/task_completed and _x.ai/session/update notifications, park early notices, flush parked notices after task.started, and prevent closed tasks from reopening.
Grok monitor scenarios and integration tests
apps/server/scripts/acp-mock-agent.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.test.ts
The mock agent adds ordered, duplicate, orphan, foreign-session, polling, session-update, and missing-session scenarios. The live test verifies that a completion notice without sessionId is ignored.

- Line 162: Update the status resolution around the running-status guard so
snapshots with completed: true and no explicit terminal status, exit code,
signal, or kill flag fall back to the terminal status "completed" after existing
kill and exit-code handling. Ensure grokTaskCompletedNoticeId and
buildGrokTaskCompletedEvents process these snapshots as terminal and perform
normal cleanup.

In `@apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.ts`:
- Line 1161: Update the session guard in the handler around the sessionId check
to require an exact match with ctx.acpSessionId, rejecting missing, non-string,
and different values before processing task completion or publishing
task.completed.
