feat(server): add optional quiet deadline to PR watches - #26839
PR watching is event-driven: a watch wakes the agent when the host reports something. If a check or review never produces a terminal event, the watch just stays quiet. This adds an optional quiet wait so a watch can wake once anyway. No missed completion has been reproduced; this is a resilience option, off unless asked for.
watch_pull_request and the underlying watch API take a new optional quietTimeoutMinutes:
Value
Meaning
omitted, new watch
No deadline. Existing behavior is unchanged.
integer 1–10080
Arms a deadline that many minutes out.
null
Disables the deadline.
Persistence: the selected duration and a one-shot deadline are stored with the watch.
Rearming: actionable news or a new head restarts the timer. An unchanged running status does not.
When due: the watcher refreshes the PR even if its fingerprint is unchanged, records delivery with the wake, and keeps normal event monitoring running.
Races: a stale in-flight read cannot undo a disable or a rearm.
Gates: a quiet wake never satisfies a review or merge requirement.
No default changes and no new UI.
This is submitted under the focused-configuration exception for an established capability: the option controls when an existing PR watch wakes. Maintainers may decide that the timed wake requires prior product-direction approval; none is claimed here.
Maintainer approval requested: the MCP tool definitions grow from 46,007 to 46,511 bytes (+504). Please review that increase and, if acceptable, apply agent-context-increase as required by the repository's budget gate.
Validation
GitHub CI at e9ca0c79de: all eight server test shards, web tests, lint, build/typecheck, and release smoke passed. The Test job fails while importing apps/mobile/src/features/threads/git/GitBranchesSheet.occupancy.test.tsx with SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'typeof'. The same focused command (cd apps/mobile && vp test run --project react src/features/threads/git/GitBranchesSheet.occupancy.test.tsx) fails on unchanged upstream base fa4f3a2925, before collecting tests. This PR changes neither mobile files nor the lockfile. The aggregate Check fails as a result; the separate context-growth approval remains outstanding.
Local review: independent GPT-6 Astra (high) and Claude Opus 5.5 (high) rechecks found no remaining actionable issues at 9facad75e4. git range-diff confirms that the implementation and test patches are unchanged after rebase; the budget fixture combines the current upstream measurement with this option's 504-byte increase.
Focused tests cover unchanged waits, restart/replay, one-shot delivery, fingerprint bypass, rearming, closed PRs, explicit disable during an in-flight read, and bounded input validation. The new race and oversized-input tests failed before their fixes.
env TMPDIR=/private/tmp vp run check:changed upstream/main passed: 180 tests across 10 files, all 32 affected-package typechecks, formatting, lint, unused-code checks, and GraphQL generation. This includes the measured context-budget test. The canonical temp dir avoids an existing macOS /var vs /private/var fixture mismatch.
Not verified: the MCP eval's offline request construction passes, but its paid run is blocked by missing local CLIProxyAPI configuration and API credentials, so there is no model-behavior result. No live GitHub wait or provider turn was run.
Implemented with GPT-6.1 Sol in the Codex harness.

Walkthrough
Pull-request watches now support configurable quiet deadlines. The system stores and validates deadline state, reads pull requests when deadlines are due, and sends a one-time quiet notice.
Contracts define timeout and deadline shapes. The MCP watch input accepts a timeout, disables it with null, or preserves the existing setting when omitted. The server advertises deadline capability. Handler tests cover validation and dispatch, and the tool-list byte budget is updated.
Store and validate watch deadlines apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts
Watch updates set, preserve, or clear deadlines. Sync rejects updates when the expected deadline differs from the current watch. Runtime tests cover persistence, rearming, disabling, timeout changes, and watch closure.
Read at deadlines and emit quiet notices apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/PullRequestWatchReactor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.test.ts
The reactor reads pull requests when deadlines are due. Evaluation emits one quiet change, clears its due time, and rearms the deadline after progress. Tests cover deadline handling and quiet notifications.

Resolve the agent-context budget check before merge.
mcpToolListJsonBytes increases from 45907 to 46411 (+504 bytes). The Agent context budget check rejects this increase unless the PR has the agent-context-increase label. Reduce the added MCP tool metadata, or obtain the required label and rerun the check.

Confirmed: the measured MCP tool definitions grow by 504 bytes, and the fixture now records that measured value. The approval gate remains failing; updating the fixture does not waive it. The PR description explicitly requests maintainer review and the agent-context-increase label. Leaving this thread unresolved while a maintainer decides whether to accept the increase or request smaller tool metadata.

@lastobelus Understood. The fixture records the measured increase; it does not waive the agent-context budget check. This finding remains unresolved pending the maintainer’s decision. After an accepted increase or a metadata reduction, rerun the check before merge.

A PR watch armed on a check or review that never finished could leave the agent parked indefinitely. New watch waits default to a persisted, one-shot quiet deadline. When it expires, the agent re-checks the gates, reports anything still pending as a blocker, and unwatches.
## Behavior
- **Deadline setting:** a LastCode setting (Settings → LastCode). Default 45 minutes, bounds 1–1,440.
- **Which deadline applies:** new waits, and explicit re-arms that use the current setting, take the setting's value. A timer that is already armed keeps its saved deadline.
- **On quiet expiry:** fresh gate check. Still-pending gates are reported as a blocker, then the watch is removed. There are no automatic repeated paid waits and no timeout approval, so approval and merge requirements are unchanged.
- **Stale reviews:** the gate's stale-review age is a separate check, read from the same current saved setting. An eyes reaction can no longer keep an old Codex review request pending forever.
- **Provider shells and terminals:** both read the owning environment's custom server settings path.
## Provenance
The watcher core is independently contributed in [upstream PR pingdotgg#26839](https://redirect.github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/26839), ported through functional head `9facad75e4e8c5fcd6c2dc9c9b4622d29e263068`. This copy keeps LastCode's pause and reaction behavior.
Closes#538.
## Validation
Current head: `19a90a829892b322b09d9ab0e457042c312d30c1`.
- **Affected checks, identical source tree:** `vp run check:changed origin/lastcode/main` passed — 1,130 tests across 22 files, 32 package typechecks, format, lint, knip and GraphQL. Runtime coverage includes restart/replay, unchanged fingerprints, one-shot delivery, explicit-disable races, custom defaults and pause/resume.
- **UI:** React compiler check passed. Real isolated browser run: default 45, save 60, reload 60, reset 45.
- **Local reviews:** GPT-6 Astra High and Claude Opus 5.5 High final functional reviews were both clean at `55695847ae`. Two TypeScript include-list fixes followed. The current commit consolidates carry ownership; its file tree is identical to fully validated `a3d84d2252c0ad25fb8bd8444677e29d3efd03d5`. GPT-6 Astra High and Claude Opus 5.5 High metadata rechecks are clean at the current head.
- **Carry reconstruction:** exact same-base compilation passed at the current head after moving this coupled feature to Incubator, after its PR-gate and guidance prerequisites. The gate scripts first appear in Build & CI, and their current guidance finishes landing in Incubator; Tooling runs too early. The change is to source history only.
- **Quick CI:** earlier failures were missing TypeScript include entries, now fixed. This is not a fresh whole-Quick-CI receipt; GitHub CI remains required before merge.
- **MCP context budget:** metadata grew 65,513 → 66,033 bytes (+520), measured. The intentional-growth label is applied. Other context sizes are unchanged.
- **Model-behavior eval:** the paid eval did not run because API credentials were unavailable. Offline request construction and grader tests passed.

This new timer-driven wake requires prior approval. Existing PR watches react to host news; quietTimeoutMinutes adds a persisted one-shot wake when no news arrives. It introduces a new trigger rather than configuring an existing timer. The description says no missed completion was reproduced and claims no maintainer approval. Please discuss the new wake behavior and scope with maintainers, link explicit approval, and request reconsideration. The resilience concern remains useful context; the separate context-budget approval does not establish product-direction approval.
