Problem

A Muse thread can lose every T3 tool after the server restarts or its Muse host dies while work is queued. Muse Code 1.4.12, and the 1.4.13 canary, do not start the MCP servers passed in session/resume when the resumed session replays queued work, such as a queued user turn or a background-terminal delivery. Muse Code 1.4.14 still skips the MCP start for a replayed queued user turn, but starts it for a replayed background-terminal delivery. Muse Code 1.4.15 starts them and no longer replays queued work at resume. That host never gets mcp__t3_code__* tools, and MSP cannot load them later. With mode: "optional" nothing fails visibly. The agent just can't delegate.

Change

The resume ack shows it: session.activeTurnId names the replayed turn. When T3 resumed with MCP config and the ack names an active turn, register() closes that host and resumes on a fresh one, as failure recovery does (bump hostEpoch under eventPermit, then launchHost()). An idle resume starts MCP normally. After five relaunches it logs a warning and continues without T3 tools.

A second resume on the same host does not start MCP, so it takes a new host. The cost is that each relaunch cancels one replayed item, up to five. In the run below, the queued user message stayed in Muse's history and the next run answered it. A queued steer is cancelled the same way, even one the server already counted as delivered before a restart.

Muse leases a session to one live host, so the new host can resume only once the old one is gone. Each host now owns a child scope, and the relaunch closes the replaying host's scope, which runs the existing release: close() bounded at 13 seconds, then the scope unit's reap. A replayed background command can inherit Muse's pipes and keep close() pending after Muse exits. Unbounded, that would hang ensureThread, and interruptTurn behind it, for good. The bound now applies with or without a scope unit. The SDK has sent SIGKILL by 12 seconds, so the lease is free and session teardown can't hang either. The release now checks the host epoch, which the relaunch bumps first, so closing the replaying host leaves the session open.

One gap is left. A host that already failed has a stale epoch, so its release does not set closed when the session closes. The session's finalizer does, after that host's close() returns or hits the 13-second bound. For up to 13 seconds a call into the closing session still sees it open. Setting closed when teardown starts would remove that window. I left it out to keep this change to the resume bug.

Each host's resume ack also goes through main's live-view check, inside the same open. If an ack reports an unavailable live view, registration fails without relaunching that host.

The check keys on the ack, not a Muse version. On Muse Code 1.4.15 the resume ack comes back idle even with a user turn queued, so the relaunch never runs and this change does nothing there. On 1.4.14 the check also fires after a replayed background-terminal delivery whose host already started MCP, and the relaunch ends that replayed work (run below). I reported the bug to Muse with a standalone repro through /bug.

Scope and approval

No issue. A small fix in the Muse adapter's session open and host release, with three tests and one row in an existing test.

Verification

Linux (Fedora 44), main 9a391eb3f5 plus this branch, vp test run src/server/adapter.test.ts in packages/provider-muse.

• Main's adapter.ts: 3 failed, 39 passed. The resume test fails at fake.closeCount() (expected 1, got 0).
• Relaunch with an unbounded close: both stuck-close tests hang to the timeout, 2 failed, 40 passed.
• This branch: adapter suite 42 passed, package 80 passed, vp run check:changed 9a391eb3f5 passes.

Real Muse Code 1.4.12, muse-wonder-full-1.0, with production builds of main 66ee628e08 (its packages/provider-muse matches 9a391eb3f5) and this change on it. Two server lifetimes on main left a user message queued behind a background-terminal delivery. The third ran the desktop app of main or this branch. I sent the delegation check from desktop, then opened the thread in web, iOS and Android.

main    resumed host: mcp_startup_audit_fault, no mcp.transport.startup -> NO_DELEGATE
branch  WARN Muse replayed queued work without T3 tools; relaunching
branch  second host: mcp.transport.startup server="t3-code" outcome="ready"
branch  delegate_task -> CHILD=CHILD_OK

In the standalone repro sent to Muse, run twice per case on 1.4.12 without T3, a queued turn left the resume ack's activeTurnId set to that turn's id, and the new host started no MCP. Idle, it was null and MCP started.

Signed-in Muse Code 1.4.14 and 1.4.15 on Linux (Muse Spark 1.2, minimal effort), dev builds of main 80e62619f5 and this branch 0259bb455c, web client. Each thread first called a T3 tool. With T3 stopped, the thread's Muse session got a running turn plus a queued user turn (Muse answered disposition: "queued"), and its host was killed. The next T3 turn asked the agent to call t3_thread_list.

1.4.14  main    replayed the queued turn, no MCP start -> unknown tool mcp__t3_code.t3_thread_list, NO_T3_TOOLS
1.4.14  branch  WARN Muse replayed queued work without T3 tools; relaunching
1.4.14  branch  second host: mcp.transport.startup server="t3-code" outcome="ready" -> t3_thread_list succeeds
1.4.15  main    MCP ready, then the queued turn runs -> t3_thread_list succeeds
1.4.15  branch  same as main, no relaunch

On 1.4.14 the relaunch ended the replayed queued turn, and the next turn did not answer that message (on 1.4.12 it did).

Through T3 alone on 1.4.14 (main 8ee7183e6c, this branch 0259bb455c): the thread called t3_thread_list, started sleep 15 as a background terminal and sleep 120 in the foreground, and the Muse host was killed after the background job ended. On resume, main's replaying host started MCP, finished the interrupted work and t3_thread_list worked. This branch logged Muse replayed queued work without T3 tools; relaunching although that host had started MCP; the relaunch ended the replayed work, and t3_thread_list worked on the new host.

Captures, main then this branch (no client code changes):

Not checked:

• macOS and Windows desktop.
• Physical phones and Release native builds. Simulators ran the Debug native client with production JavaScript.
• Muse 1.4.13 against this branch. The missing MCP start was confirmed on the 1.4.13 canary without T3. 1.4.14 and 1.4.15 are checked above.
• With a real Muse: the five-relaunch limit, or a close that stays pending during a relaunch. Fake-host tests cover one relaunch and the stuck close.
• The live captures predate the bounded close, which only matters for a slow or stuck close. The live run had none.

Prior PRs: none for this bug. #19195 by @ddonathan added relaunch after a host failure, and this change reuses its launchHost() path.

Walkthrough

The adapter now manages each Muse host in an owned scope and retries MCP-enabled session resumes on fresh hosts when a resumed session reports active work. Tests cover replayed turns, unavailable history projections, and recovery when host shutdown remains pending.

Changes: Muse resume recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Host-owned lifecycle and shutdown packages/provider-muse/src/server/adapter.ts	Each host gets an owned scope for cleanup and process-exit observation. Shutdown uses a 13-second timeout.
Resume retry on fresh hosts packages/provider-muse/src/server/adapter.ts, packages/provider-muse/src/server/adapter.test.ts	The adapter checks for sessionMcp support during session opening. When MCP-enabled resume reports an active turn, it closes the host and retries on fresh hosts up to five times. Tests cover replayed turns, unavailable history projections, and pending shutdown recovery.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This production Muse adapter change alters resume behavior by closing and relaunching hosts when queued work is replayed, potentially cancelling replayed work and waiting through bounded shutdowns. The lifecycle and concurrency changes are covered by focused tests but warrant human review due to their runtime impact.

Recheck sessionMcp for every replacement host.

1828-1903: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Recheck sessionMcp for every replacement host.

When the initial host reports an active turn, the retry loop launches a replacement and reuses open. The capability check runs only before that loop. A replacement without sessionMcp therefore receives the saved MCP configuration and can resume without T3 tools.

Move the check into open so it runs for the initial host and every replacement.

merged current main without rebasing. the one conflict was the host close path: kept main's typed MuseSdkError and this PR's 13s bounded close.

moved the sessionMcp capability check into open, so every replacement host is checked before it resumes with the saved MCP config (the outside-diff CodeRabbit finding). no other change.

blacksmith vp run check:changed passed on 9e25000a9e: format, lint, knip, 10 package typechecks, and 46 tests.

Merged current main in 32fa28d to clear the conflict in the Muse adapter. No rebase.

The one conflict was main's live-view check (projectionUnavailable) against this PR's per-host open. The check now runs inside open, so each host's resume is checked. If an ack reports an unavailable live view, registration fails without relaunching that host. 0259bb4 adds that case as a row in the existing "closes a newly opened host" test. It fails when the check runs after the relaunch loop.

Nothing was dropped, and the resume fix is still needed on main: the three resume tests still fail with main's adapter.ts and pass here. vp run check:changed passes, and so does the provider-muse suite (107 tests).

🤖 Opus 5.5 replying on behalf of Victor.

Closing this ourselves: on a signed-in Muse run through T3, main already keeps the T3 tools after a resume and this change's relaunch only ends the replayed work, and Muse Code 1.4.15 fixes the resume itself.
