fix(server): Codex runs and delegated tasks settle when the shared app-server exits - #21759
Provider exit can leave tools and native subagents running after their root finishes, strand a delegated task, or let a delayed session release overwrite a replacement's state. This repairs the lifecycle failures reported in #17045 and the Windows reproduction. Codex app-server termination detection is already on the updated base.
The repair tracks release ownership per thread, hands ownership over inside EventSink's committed transaction boundary, and persists per-thread session snapshots so shared sessions retain each thread's state. Cleanup consults those snapshots before removing a worktree. Provider-stream failure also settles owned tools/native work and delegated results, while preserving completed root results, partial output and current-attempt fences.
Verification at 0fa225da362d0e4667c733b971ed0550a8ae82a8:
Deterministic regressions reproduced stale-release overwrites, cancellation after a committed replacement attachment, orphaned work, and the live-worktree cleanup omission. Tests use Deferred milestones and real EventSink/SQLite paths. Cleanup deletion was confined to disposable Git fixtures.
vp run check:changed cb9629e6891ef0745772b69f09c9acd0c6a74f7e passed: 372 tests in 10 server files, affected typechecks, formatting, lint, knip and generated GraphQL checks. Normal commit hooks passed.
A fresh independent review approved the cumulative implementation and ran 33 additional focused tests covering cancellation/release races, persistence/replay, delegated settlement, migrations and cleanup.
A non-mutating merge-tree check against upstream d2d1e4f50ef856f940d91858915368500657b0b7 found no conflicts. Checks above ran on the stated base/head, not a newly merged build.
No new live provider-exit or client run was performed for this revision. The earlier Windows run and isolated before/after images concern the older implementation and are historical evidence, not validation of this head. A provider that hangs without exiting remains outside this repair. Human review is still required for merging.
Original implementation: Claude Opus 5.5 through Claude Code in T3 Code. Current repair and fresh independent review: Codex gpt-6.1-sol through the Codex harness in T3 Code.
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This change alters shared provider-session lifecycle and cross-thread run/delegated-task settlement across several production orchestration layers. The concurrency and durable event-state coordination make the runtime impact broader than a small isolated bug fix.

Walkthrough
Provider-stream failure handling now tracks and terminalizes eligible run-owned work. Provider-session writes use per-session release coordination, and session bindings store thread-specific payloads used by projections and storage cleanup.
Changes: Provider Exit Recovery
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Track and cascade run-owned work apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunExecutionService.ts
The run service tracks eligible nodes and turn items on root and linked child threads. Cascades and detach cleanup use the expanded owned-work projection.
Recover open work after provider failure apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunExecutionService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunExecutionService.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/*
Failure recovery interrupts an unfinished root turn or terminalizes remaining open work after root finalization. Tests and fixtures check tool and background-work settlement, partial output, and superseded writes.
The orchestrator passes owned turn items to cascade terminalization. The integration test checks child-run and delegated-task outcomes when the root turn is unfinished or complete.
Provider Session State and Release
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Serialize session attachments and releases apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EventSink.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/FoundationPersistence.test.ts
The event sink exposes committed events before publication. The session manager serializes session writes and tracks pending releases. Tests cover retries, shared sessions, and attachment/release races.
Migration 77 adds payloads to provider-session bindings. Projection reads prefer each binding’s payload, status, and update time when available. Tests cover migration, replay, recovery, and binding updates.
Use effective session state in cleanup apps/server/src/storageCleanup.ts, apps/server/src/storageCleanup.test.ts
Storage cleanup uses binding payload and status when available to determine whether a session protects a worktree.

Preserve release status for threads outside the replacement.
If the old session served threads A and B, and the replacement opens only for A, replaced suppresses the old release event for both threads. B has no replacement attachment event, so B’s projection remains ready after its session closes. Suppress the old status update only for threads attached to the replacement; write a release event for the others.

Prevent an older release from overwriting a completed replacement release.
If the old scope close stalls, a replacement can open and release before the old close times out. The map is then empty, so this check writes the old release status after the newer release status. For example, an old manual_shutdown can replace the newer session’s runtime_error with stopped. Fence status writes by session generation or the projected session’s identity, not only by whether a session is currently live.

Tested on Windows against a real Codex app-server: main reproduces both hangs, and this PR fixes both.
Setup: Windows 11, Node 24.19.0, Codex CLI 0.163.0 (npm global). Server run from source (node src/bin.ts serve with a scratch --base-dir), first at main 99c692b, then at main with this PR's head 3a2f884 merged (clean merge). I killed the shared codex app-server with Stop-Process -Force.
Session still shows ready. Every later turn fails at once with CodexAppServerProcessExitedError: ... exited with code 4294967295, on the same thread and on a brand-new thread. No new app-server starts until the backend restarts.
Session goes to error about 100 ms after the kill (Codex app-server exited; failing its provider session.). The next turn starts a fresh app-server and completes; later turns and a new thread work too.
Kill mid-turn, during a Start-Sleep -Seconds 120 tool call
Run stays running for as long as I watched (2.5+ minutes), and the session still shows ready.
Root turn is failed 190 ms after the kill. The next turn on the same thread starts a fresh app-server and completes.
The PR's tests also pass on Windows: the four server test files it touches (127 tests) and effect-codex-app-server's client.test.ts (3 tests).
One small leftover: in the mid-turn case, the failed run's in-flight tool_call node stays running with completedAt: null after the root turn fails. It doesn't block anything, but a client that renders node status could show that tool as still running.
This is the dead cached session I described in #17045 (comment).

Wait for background-work settlement before capturing after-exit.
await_thread_idle only waits for the run to leave an active status. Provider failure marks the run failed before the separate thread.background-work.settle command clears pendingBackgroundTasks. The snapshot can therefore capture the stale task list and fail the assertion at output.ts:22-29.
Add an explicit await_no_background_work fixture step before each after-exit snapshot.

verified exact head 83f34b69fb8796f5d8858370ae7ffa8a7bcd43fa on a disposable linux boat vm, using real codex gpt-6.1-sol through the local proxy. installed both checkouts with vp i, ran one dev server at a time, and drove chrome with the repo's playwright. projects and turns were created through the running app's cli and web composer, without mocks or fixtures.
reproduced on github/main at 955e2bfbb5c092c54ad795c8d379fec99702a6b5: let a real sleep 300 command run in the background, then killed the dev instance's codex app-server. the root response was complete, but the command stayed running with null completedAt; the web client kept its running/stop control.
on this head, the same kill marks the command failed with a completion timestamp, removes the running control, and preserves the completed root and its output.
killed during an unfinished root turn: both root and command failed, partial output survived, and no running command remained.
same-thread recovery through the web composer returned SAME_THREAD_RECOVERED. a new thread returned NEW_THREAD_RECOVERED, without restarting the backend.
a real codex parent launched an async T3 delegated child running sleep 300. killing their shared app-server failed the child command and the parent subagent, cleared the waiting control, preserved the completed parent result, and delivered the failure to the parent. the parent resumed and acknowledged DELEGATE_FAILURE_RECEIVED.
blacksmith-check passed 113 tests across ProviderSessionManager, RunExecutionService, and DelegatedTaskProviderExit.integration. no source changes were needed.
short runtime transcript:
main: completed root; command running; completedAt null
pr: completed root at 05:05:05.203Z; command failed at 05:05:49.698Z
mid-turn: root and command failed at 05:06:30.579Z
delegated: child run/command failed at 05:07:35.820Z
parent subagent failed at 05:07:35.854Z
Not verified
native ios/android and electron clients, windows/macOS process behavior, remote relay/tunnel connections, native codex subagents, delayed session-release replacement races, and live worktree cleanup protection were not exercised in this linux web run. the focused automated checks cover some session and delegated settlement cases but do not substitute for those runtime paths. provider hangs without process exit remain outside this verification.
