fix(provider-acp): Grok runs complete when a background dev server keeps running - #32109
A Grok run that leaves a background shell running, typically a dev server, stays running forever after its final answer. Its provider turn never completes, the delegating parent is never woken, and anything waiting for "no runs active" waits indefinitely. Once session/prompt settles, the ACP adapter defers finalizing the root turn while any non-persistent background task is running, and a background command started with BackgroundTaskStarted that never exits (vite preview, python3 -m http.server) therefore holds the turn open for good. Shared policy already says background commands are as often a dev server as a wait and only hold completion when awaited (packages/shared/src/orchestrationV2PendingBackgroundWork.ts).
Change
In packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts:
hasDeferredBackgroundWork no longer counts background commands (context.backgroundCommands), the same way it already skips persistent monitors. A settled Grok prompt with only background commands left finalizes as completed. Monitors and subagents still defer as before.
Finalizing a turn no longer terminalizes a row that was registered as a background command. A streaming update that replaces the BackgroundTaskStarted output therefore cannot make a still-running server look like a finished foreground tool.
At finalize, each running command's task id maps to the turn that owns its row (detachedBackgroundCommands). Later output, replayed ACKs, x.ai/task_completed, completed TaskOutput and KillTask results still update that row on the run that started it, and don't land in the wake buffer or a later run. Ended entries are kept, bounded to the 16 most recent like endedBackgroundTaskIds, so a sparse completion followed by a richer one (exit code and output) still corrects the row. The map is cleared on Stop and on session reset.
Grok's own wake after a command ends still goes through the existing continuation path.
Tests whose premise was "a background command holds the root open" now assert the new behaviour. In the Grok replay fixtures, run 1 now completes before the command row does, and the row still ends completed with full output on run 1, followed by the wake run.
New tests in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts, using the production Grok flavor hooks on the ACP mock agent:
completes a settled Grok turn while a background shell keeps running
keeps a streaming Grok background shell running on its run after settling
applies a richer Grok background shell failure after a sparse completion
All three fail against main's adapter.ts and pass on this branch:

…he turn open
A Grok run that starts a never-ending background shell (a dev server),
replies, and settles session/prompt with end_turn never reaches
turn.terminal, because hasDeferredBackgroundWork counts the running
shell as work the root turn must wait for.

…eps running
A Grok run that started a background shell (BackgroundTaskStarted) never
reached turn.terminal while the shell ran, because hasDeferredBackgroundWork
counted it as work the root turn must wait for. A dev server never exits, so
the run stayed running forever and delegating parents were never woken.
Background commands no longer hold the root turn, matching the shared
pending-work policy. A completed turn whose commands still run is kept as a
detached turn, so later output, x.ai/task_completed, TaskOutput and KillTask
results land on the row of the run that started the command instead of being
buffered as wake evidence or re-attributed to a later run. Grok's own wake
after the command ends still starts the continuation run.

… late terminals
A background shell whose progress output replaced its BackgroundTaskStarted
ACK was finalized as a foreground tool when the prompt settled, so a running
dev server showed as completed and its later output was lost. Finalization now
honours the task id the row was registered with.
Detached command ownership was also pruned as soon as the last command first
ended, so a richer later terminal (an exit code after a sparse task_completed)
could not find its row. Ownership is now keyed by task id and ended commands
are kept, bounded, so corrections still land on the original run.

The ACP adapter now allows a turn to settle while a background command continues. It retains the command’s association with the completed turn and applies later completion and output updates to that turn’s tool row. Tests and fixtures cover this behavior.

Summary
Background command ownership and settlement packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts
The adapter tracks background-command task ownership and excludes these commands from deferred-work detection and turn terminalization.
Turn detachment and mapping cleanup packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts
Completed turns detach their background commands. Session replacement and stopped-run quarantine clear detached ownership mappings.
Detached completion routing and validation packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/grok_background_bash/*, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/grok_background_bash_fast_wake/*
Hydration and later command updates target the owning turn. Tests and fixtures cover root-turn settlement and successful or failed updates to the original command row.

Grok runs now complete while background servers keep running. In some failure, Stop, or session-replacement paths, a background command row can stay shown as running. This is a bounded display and cleanup issue, so owner awareness or a follow-up is enough.

Explanation
[#32087] The previously reviewed implementation lets a settled Grok run complete while its background command remains active and keeps later command updates on the originating run. The current incremental diff does not change that completion or detached-command behavior. The updated replay assertions retain coverage for completion before command completion.

Retain command ownership after an idle error.
If a background command is still running when an idle error ends the turn, the adapter skips its row but does not detach its ownership. A later terminal cannot update the original row, so it can remain running and keep event ingestion open.
Retain ownership for surviving commands on this failure path. Add a test that sends command output and a terminal after the failed prompt.

Keep command ownership available throughout finalization.
A command update can arrive after context.finalized becomes true but before detachment. The update can be dropped, leaving the command row stale. Coordinate finalization with session callbacks so updates retain an owner throughout the transition. Moving detachment before clearing activeTurn alone does not close the earlier gap.

Reconcile detached command rows before discarding ownership.
A successful hard Stop can kill a detached command after quarantineStoppedRun clears its ownership. Its row can then remain running without a terminal update. Session replacement also discards ownership and prevents old callbacks from updating the row.
Interrupt the rows when teardown confirms that the commands stopped. Preserve their original item identities and handle commands that may continue through replacement.

Environment for both recordings: real development servers in separate worktrees; independently initialized databases with automatic seeding disabled; identical synthetic fixture and prompt; Chromium, 1280×800, dark theme. Public videos crop private labels consistently and trim initial loading. Both use the same documented authentication bootstrap bridge with the real Grok CLI.
Steps: asynchronously delegate a full-access review to Grok; start the fixture server as a native background command; return SERVER_REVIEW_DONE; inspect child completion and parent delivery while HTTP remains available; stop the recorded server PID; inspect the original command's terminal update.
Both servers returned HTTP 200 before shutdown. After shutdown, output includes DEV_SERVER_STOPPED and the command becomes completed; the original command and run IDs are preserved.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above. No tests were used as evidence.
Not shown:
Linked-environment routing was not exercised; the recorded parent and child used the same local environment.
Unassisted provider startup was blocked by the installed CLI's advertised authentication methods; both sides used the identical documented authentication bridge.
Idle-gated operations, overlapping subsequent turns, cancellation, replay/retention edge cases, and other ACP providers were not exercised.
Desktop and mobile clients were not exercised; captures cover the web client and real server.

task_cancel while a dev server + sleep 60 run

Child interrupted within ~60 ms, parent gets "cancelled", sleep/server/Grok process stopped; an unrelated server kept running
Idle gating with the server still running

Session ready, thread idle, not counted as busy
So linked-environment routing, cancellation and idle gating from your "Not shown" list behave as expected here. Thanks for the fix.
