fix(server): preserve active turns when switching provider instances - #22755
Switching a thread to another provider instance during a running turn closes its live session and fails the turn with “The provider event stream closed unexpectedly.” Reproduced on Linux with two Claude instances while a foreground sleep 90 was running.
Change
The shared orchestration selection path refuses an instance change or a selection that releases a session while the thread has a blocking run. The error tells the caller to wait for the active turn and retry. Idle switches and same-instance selections that apply on the next turn remain available.
vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.control-reads.test.ts src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSwitchService.test.ts src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts from apps/server: 109 passed, exit 0. Both selection commands cover active instance changes, session restarts, allowed next-turn changes, and idle switches. Queued monitor delivery is exercised after completing the active run with the queue held.
vp run typecheck from apps/server: exit 0; compiler suggestions only.
Targeted vp lint for the three changed files: exit 0; existing layerUnavailable unused-variable warning.
Independent GPT-6.1-Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 reviews both returned MERGE with no confirmed bugs; their scoped runs passed 152 and 187 tests respectively. Proof audit returned SUFFICIENT.
Red test output: four preservation assertions failed before the implementation; session and selection were mutated.

The runtime refusal response is recorded narratively rather than as a timestamped raw RPC response. The after attempt experienced VM load, an exit-137 retry, and a long checkpoint delay; it demonstrates preservation, not timing. The implementation is unchanged between the after capture and merged head. Automated assertions provide the precise mutation and outbox proof.
Unverified: native desktop and mobile clients, separate provider credentials, and an exhaustive matrix of providers. The guard is in the shared server command path.

The active-run guard refuses an instance switch while a turn is running, and
completing the active run starts the queue at once. Complete the run with the
queue held, switch, then resume so the queued monitor update is still checked
against the new selection.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Disruptive provider-selection changes now return a retryable busy error while a turn is active, preserving its provider session. The change is narrowly scoped and leaves non-disruptive selections unaffected.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Provider and model selection dispatch now rejects plans that change provider instances or release provider sessions when a thread has an active run. Thread message intake and MCP dispatch classify the new busy error as a rejected request. Tests cover selection outcomes and MCP error mapping.

The orchestrator rejects qualifying selection plans when a run is active. Parameterized tests check rejected and successful dispatch outcomes, state changes, and preservation of runs and provider turns. Runtime tests update queued-monitor and delegated-completion selection cases.

Thread message intake treats the busy error as a dispatch failure that was not accepted. MCP dispatch maps it to an invalid_request; a test checks the error message.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to dd977
When a provider switch is refused during an active turn, retrying with the same command id after the turn ends can still be rejected. This undermines the wait-and-retry behavior the change promises. Exempt the busy error from rejected-receipt recording before merging.

Explanation
Issue #22748 requires provider-selection changes to avoid detaching a live session during an active run and to report the refusal clearly. Orchestrator.ts now rejects plans that change provider instances or release provider sessions when an active run exists. The tagged error tells the caller to wait and retry. threadAccess.ts maps the error to an invalid_request response. Tests cover both provider.switch and thread.model-selection.set, active and idle threads, instance changes, restart transitions, next-turn changes, and preservation of projections, events, and outbox entries.

Explanation
The changed files support issue #22748. The error type implements the refusal behavior. The dispatch mappings expose the error to orchestration and MCP callers. The tests verify the required selection paths and preserve active turns. The runtime-layer test adjustments keep queued-selection coverage aligned with the new refusal behavior. No unrelated product behavior or files are present in the reviewed change summary.

The active-turn guard stored its reason as a synthetic cause on a generic
dispatch error. It now raises OrchestratorProviderSelectionBusyError, whose
message comes from its attributes, and intake treats it as not accepted.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Addressed the Effect error finding in 6b3bdce4a6: active-turn selection refusal now has a dedicated tagged domain error with attributes and caller-visible retry guidance, without a synthetic cause. The focused test checks its type and message; 101 tests, server typecheck and targeted lint passed. Guard behavior is unchanged. The lint-staged backup hook failed; focused checks ran separately and its recovery stash was preserved.

Make the run-state check atomic with selection commit.
The guard reads the run projection before eventSink.commitCommand(...). A provider-turn-start effect can commit the run transition to running after that read. The selection command can then detach or replace the provider session used by the active run, causing the provider stream to close and the run to fail.
Apply one atomic boundary to both provider.switch and thread.model-selection.set: commit the selection plan only if no blocking run exists, or serialize that commit with ProviderTurnStartService.writeIfRunCurrent. The existing dispatcher lock does not cover the provider-turn-start effect.

t3_thread_configure now returns the busy error's retry message as an
invalid_request instead of the redacted generic failure.
Main's queued-delivery tests switched provider instance during an active
run, which this change refuses; their same-instance rows still cover the
queued-selection behavior, and the refusal is covered in control-reads.
Drops copy-text assertions from the guard test.

Add a receipt assertion to the refused-switch case.
The refused case checks the projection, the outbox and the event sequence. It does not check that the refusal leaves no rejected receipt. Re-dispatch the same commandId after the run ends. Assert that it succeeds. This covers the retry guidance in the error message.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win
The busy refusal is recorded as a permanent rejected receipt, so a retry fails.
The new OrchestratorProviderSelectionBusyError is not in the early-return list in dispatchWithReceiptEffect. That list holds the mode-limit and ceiling errors. The Effect.catch in that function therefore calls commitRejectedCommand for the busy error. The same commandId then replays as OrchestratorCommandPreviouslyRejectedError. The comment above that list says refusals that depend on user-changeable state must not be recorded, because a recorded rejection blocks the retry.
The busy error depends on run state. The message tells callers to wait and retry. A client that retries with the same commandId gets "previously rejected" after the turn ends. The new test does not check receipts, so it does not catch this.
Add the busy tag to the early-return list near Line 14041.

In the real web app, start a replayed 90-second foreground command on provider instance A. While it runs, call t3_thread_configure selecting B, then wait for the original turn. Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic data on both commits.
Replay demonstrates the active-turn disruption and its prevention. Claude-specific behavior and the exact reported stream-closed error were not reproduced.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
The exact Claude reproduction and “The provider event stream closed unexpectedly” message were not observed: replay uses generic ACP and produced a stuck running turn on base.
The foreground sleep was simulated by the replay recording; no real Claude shell command was executed.
