Problem

Stopping Claude while a foreground Bash command holds a steer can discard that steer while its message still looks delivered. Reproduced on current main with Claude 2.1.303 / Sonnet 5.5: send a codeword after the foreground task starts, press Stop, and the next turn answers NO_CODEWORD.

Change

Give steers prompt UUIDs and track their acknowledgments on assistant, stream, and result frames. When Stop ends a turn with unconfirmed steers, emit an existing system notice quoting each steer and asking the user to resend it if needed. The notice describes unconfirmed delivery because older Claude versions may omit acknowledgments. Failed sends remove their tracking entry. Finalization closes steer admission before taking the pending-steer snapshot, so a concurrent steer is either included or rejected through the existing ended-turn error path.

Scope and approval

Fixes https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/15708

Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. This fixes the silent loss reported in #15708 using the existing notice format.

Verification

  • Red proof: the unread-steer case failed on main with expected an undelivered-steer notice, got [].
  • Focused adapter suite, at 080b9ab60e: vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts in apps/server: 211 passed. Cases cover unread, assistant-, stream-, and result-acknowledged steers. Removing the corresponding acknowledgment makes the result and stream regressions fail.
  • Server typecheck passed; targeted format/lint passed with one existing unused layer warning.
  • Real app controls: releasing the foreground command without Stop recalls the codeword; consuming the steer before Stop during a later tool produces no warning. Consumed-steer transcript.
  • Final-round independent reviews assess the complete revised diff. The narrow finalization interleaving has no deterministic failing test: a coarse scheduler sweep missed the window, and the finest setting exhausted the test worker. The experimental test was removed; no red-proof claim is made for that guard.

Evidence

Real app before e54e71d725, after 20749b942a. Full manifest, environment, chronology, pixel counts, and limitations. Ubuntu/Chrome154, DPR2; CSS1440×900 and390×844, light/dark. Wide PNG output is downscaled1280×800; narrow output780×1688. Diff0 is absolute RGB delta amplified4; Diff16 marks maximum channel delta>16.

Same interaction in both recordings: submit foreground held curl, wait for foreground task_started, send the codeword as Steer, press Stop, retain the interrupted state, then resize to390 light. The after recording also expands the new notice. Before full interaction · After full interaction. Exported tails were inspected. Natural provider latency differs; these are not precision latency measurements.

After: expanded notice quotes the steer and asks for resend

Visible differences: the after adds the amber notice and disclosure; the interrupted divider moves down by the new row. Independent runs also differ in generated thread titles, sidebar ordering, relative ages, and environment artwork pixels. All differences are included in the image counts; clocks were not frozen. The portable recipe is committed at scripts/issue-15708-repro.md.

Unverified: native iOS notice summary/detail and expansion. Device access was disabled; fresh EAS simulator development build 0d64b057-66fc-4e34-a223-3919e4e6fc94 remained in progress and usable remote backend transport was unavailable. Web/desktop share the existing renderer; no Electron shell or native-client source changed.

Proof audit independently reproduced all eight image diff outputs/counts, inspected both complete recordings, and rebuilt the final web warning content. The full matrix verdict was INSUFFICIENT V2 solely for the explicitly unverified native row. Captures precede the merge of current main; that merge brings unrelated server/dependency and sidebar navigation updates and leaves the notice rendering unchanged. Later revisions add stream-acknowledgment coverage, correct structured error causes, and close finalizing-turn steer admission; the displayed notice text is unchanged.

Recovery proof audit: all four web cells and eight diff outputs/counts reproduced; the final-head notice block matches the captured revision. The changed web-path proof is sufficient. Native execution and a fresh final-head runtime capture remain unverified.

Models: Claude Opus 5.5 through Claude Code (implementation/tests); GPT-6.1-Sol through Codex and Claude Opus 5.5 through Claude Code (review and verification). Harness: T3 Code.

A steer Claude queues behind a foreground task_started Bash call is never

only the new prompt.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ivered

Stop still cancels a steer Claude queued behind a foreground task and
never read, but the user should get a system notice that names the
steer and asks them to resend it instead of losing it silently.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A steer sent while a foreground tool call runs waits in the Claude CLI's
queue. Stop closes the query and that queue is discarded, but the steer
bubble stayed in the thread as if Claude had seen it.

Steers now carry a prompt uuid. A steer stays unread until an assistant or
stream frame echoes its uuid in user_message_uuids. When the turn ends
interrupted, each still-unread steer gets one system notice saying it was
not delivered and asking the user to resend it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Assistant frames echo only the prompts that began a reply, so a steer
consumed between tool rounds is confirmed by the result alone. Clear
unread steers on result echoes too, word the notice as unconfirmed
delivery, and drop the entry when the offer itself fails.

Walkthrough

ClaudeAdapterV2 assigns UUIDs to steers and tracks them until a matching frame acknowledges them. When an interrupted turn ends, it can emit a notice for eligible unconfirmed steers. Regression tests cover acknowledgment and notice behavior.

Changes: Claude steer delivery confirmation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track and confirm steers
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts
Steers receive validated UUIDs and remain tracked until an assistant, stream, or result frame echoes the UUID. Turn finalization closes steer admission.
Report unconfirmed steers
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts
On interruption, finalization emits a completed notice for each unconfirmed steer when its query uses early or result_only prompt-echo mode. Tests cover echoed UUIDs and cases where the CLI does not echo them.

Explanation

The description includes all required sections: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. It explains the bug, implementation, linked issue, focused tests, observed results, and known verification limits, including unverified native iOS behavior.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR meets the coding requirements in [#15708]. ClaudeAdapterV2.ts assigns UUIDs to steers, tracks unread steers, removes tracking when offering fails, and clears tracking when assistant, stream, or result frames echo the UUID. Stop finalization closes steer admission before taking the unread snapshot and emits the existing resend notice for unconfirmed steers when the query supports UUID echo. ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts covers unread, non-echoing, assistant, stream, and result acknowledgment cases.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The adapter changes directly address the silent Stop-related steer loss in [#15708]. The regression tests verify the required delivery notice and acknowledgment behavior. The reproduction documentation and structured error-cause correction support the same steer-delivery fix. No unrelated product or infrastructure change is shown.

Add a stream-only acknowledgment case.

ClaudeAdapterV2 clears unread steers from stream_event frames. The Stop regression covers only assistant and result acknowledgments, so it can miss a regression in the stream-only path.

Add a stream_event row to the unread-steer Stop table so a regression
that stops counting stream echoes as delivery is caught. Make the
repro's No-Stop control use a 30s hold so the endpoint releases well
before curl's 600s timeout.

Addressed both CodeRabbit findings in aa0203d8d9: the no-Stop control now requires a 30-second endpoint hold below curl’s 600-second timeout, and the existing regression table covers a stream-only acknowledgment. The steer subset passed 12 tests; removing stream acknowledgment makes only the new case fail. Production code is unchanged.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Block steer admission during turn finalization.

finalizeActiveTurn clears unreadSteers here, but activeTurn remains set until later in the function. A concurrent steerTurn can finish backgroundForegroundSubagents, pass the active-turn check, and add a new entry after this snapshot. The offer can then target a turn that is already being finalized, while the new steer is never reported if Claude does not echo it.

Mark the context as finalizing before any yielding work and reject new steers in that state, or serialize steer admission with finalization. Add a regression test for this interleaving.

Addressed the finalization race in 080b9ab60e: finalization closes steer admission before any yield, and the last admission check and pending-map insertion execute without a yield between them. Earlier admissions enter the warning snapshot; later admissions use the existing ended-turn failure path. Both fresh final-round reviewers approved the complete diff and independently passed all 211 adapter tests. Server typecheck passes. No deterministic red test forces this narrow scheduler interleaving; the unsuccessful experimental test was removed. The earlier core regression and runtime evidence remain valid; notice rendering is unchanged.

Fresh independent source reviews of 080b9ab60e by GPT-6.1-Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 found no production blocker. The prior bot findings are addressed; all 35 checks pass on this head. Native iOS notice rendering remains unverified as recorded in Verification.

The committed reproduction recipe is retained under the issue workflow's explicit requirement for reproducible evidence inputs. The stale review-log appendix was removed from the description; no code changed.

# Conflicts:
#	apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts
Main replaced the adapter's crypto service with SecureRandom; allocate the
steer uuid through it and provide NodeCrypto in the steer test. Drop the
manual reproduction recipe, which is PR evidence rather than repository code.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…rompt uuids

A CLI that never echoes prompt uuids leaves every steer unread, so Stop
warned about steers Claude had answered. Each unread steer now remembers its
live query, and the notice is emitted only when that query has proven it
echoes (early or result_only).

8130-8131: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Quoted steer text is not bounded in the notice.

The notice embeds the full text of the steer. A steer can carry a long message, so the system notice can become very large. The notice is persisted and rendered in the UI. Truncate the quoted text to a fixed length.
Mobile views already truncate the notice, but the stored message stays unbounded.

Proposed change

-              const notice = `Claude did not confirm reading your steer before Stop. It may not have been delivered. Resend it if needed: "${text}"`;
+              const quoted = text.length > 500 ? `${text.slice(0, 497)}...` : text;

Runtime identifiers were hidden; the head recording contains an opaque redaction over a model-transition label. Reproduction content is unchanged.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • CLI variants that never echo UUIDs or echo only on results were not exercised; the installed CLI demonstrated early UUID echoes.
  • Desktop and mobile clients were not separately exercised.

Evidence

Real web app, Chromium, light theme, 1280×800 CSS viewport; independent fresh databases and synthetic conversations. Main stills show the top 640 CSS pixels. Runtime model labels concealed for privacy.

With Follow-up behavior set to Steer, run foreground curl against a local endpoint holding its response for four minutes. Wait at least five seconds after curl starts, send Codeword: PELICAN. Remember it, I will ask for it later., then press Stop before curl returns.

Before: cancelled steer without delivery warning After: expanded warning quotes PELICAN and advises resending
Before recording After recording

Base shows only the cancelled badge and interrupted turn. Head adds an expandable warning identifying the affected message and advising resending. A subsequent codeword question returned NO_CODEWORD on both sides: the fix exposes uncertainty without restoring the lost message.

Evidence

Real web app, Chromium, 1280×800, light theme; fresh isolated databases and synthetic messages on both commits. Real Claude provider.

Set follow-up behavior to Steer, request a foreground curl against a 240-second held response, wait at least five seconds after it starts, send the PELICAN message, and press Stop before curl returns. Expand the warning on head.

Before: cancelled steer without delivery guidance After: expanded delivery warning quotes PELICAN and advises resending
Before recording After recording

Base showed only cancelled and Run interrupted. Head additionally warned that delivery was unconfirmed, quoted the affected message, and advised resending. Both subsequent codeword queries returned NO_CODEWORD: the fix exposes uncertainty rather than restoring the unread message.

Reproduction steps · Held-response endpoint script

Recordings retain the interaction and Stop control; private runtime details are masked. Stills show the affected conversation region.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • Steer admission closing during finalization was not independently exercised; the manual reproduction covered an already-pending unread steer.
  • Desktop and mobile clients were not exercised; evidence covers the web client.
