A restart can replace an unaccepted request with a bare continuation. Codex can receive empty native-resume input, and ACP agents can receive "Continue where you left off." without the original text or attachments. Fixes #26384.

Track provider input acceptance and resend the original request when its source attempt explicitly remains unconfirmed, or when Codex has not yet created a provider turn. Codex confirms its root user-message item. ACP confirms a matching full root input echo, root assistant output, or a new root tool call after dispatch. Preserve confirmation through usage and terminal updates. Confirmed requests retain native continuation behavior.

Legacy turns without the acceptance field count as possibly accepted and retain native continuation, so upgrading does not resend old work. ACP agents that produce no acceptance signal before a restart still require a resend.

Merged current main at a5d21a3ce4. The conflict resolutions retain upstream thread-visit and active-thread projection updates, manual native resume, and inline context handling alongside this fix.

Verification on Windows: check:changed passed formatting, scoped lint, both knip checks, GraphQL generation and typechecks for 37 affected packages. Its test stage had 479 passing tests, one skipped test and five failures in SQL history windowing and worktree startup. All five failures reproduced with the PR's 13 changed files restored to upstream a5d21a3ce4. Restart continuation, restart background notes, orchestrator recovery replay, ACP registry and client projection tests passed. This is focused verification, not a full-suite or new live-provider restart run. Earlier live Codex reproduction and recordings remain in the existing verification comment.

Implemented with GPT-6.1 Sol using Codex in T3 Code. The earlier Codex implementation used Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code.

Restart continuation resumes Codex natively with empty input, which
assumes the cut turn's request is already in Codex's own history. Codex
records a turn's input only after prompt hooks and pre-turn compaction,
so a restart in that window resumed a turn with no user message.

Codex now confirms the input: the adapter records `inputRecordedAt` on
the provider turn when Codex completes the root turn's userMessage item,
and the server and client projections keep it across later turn updates.
When no native turn of a cut attempt has that confirmation, the
continuation carries the original text, attachments and context, and
turn start sends it as a prompt instead of resuming natively. Confirmed
turns, including a goal's later turns, still resume natively. Other
providers are unchanged.

Fixes pingdotgg#26384

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Recovery now resends Codex requests lacking persisted input confirmation. During upgrade, existing turns lack that marker even if Codex recorded their input, so a human needs to accept the potential for repeated agent work or confirm a rollout that avoids interrupting those turns.

Walkthrough

The change adds and preserves provider-turn input-recorded timestamps. Restart continuation uses that status to decide whether to resend the original message, including its attachments and context, or use the existing continuation prompt.

Changes: Restart input recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record and preserve provider input status
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/orchestrationV2Projection.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/orchestrationV2Projection.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpRegistryAdapterV2.test.ts
The provider-turn contract adds optional inputRecordedAt. Codex and ACP adapters emit the timestamp when qualifying input is recorded. Server and client projections retain it when later updates omit it.
Select and dispatch restart input
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RestartBackgroundNote.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RestartContinuation.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnStartService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RestartBackgroundNote.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RestartContinuation.test.ts
Restart continuation checks whether the source input was recorded. When an unsettled Codex or ACP Registry continuation has unrecorded input, it resends the source text, attachments, and defined context. Other cases use the existing continuation prompt.
Validate restart recovery
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/OrchestratorReplayRecovery.integration.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EffectWorker.test.ts
An integration test covers recovery after a Codex turn starts but before its input is recorded. It checks the resumed prompt and recorded input and token-usage state.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg, maria-rcks

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to dd791

Restart recovery now resends unaccepted Codex and ACP requests and keeps native continuation for confirmed ones. The earlier concern about ACP background-task notices wrongly marking a prompt as recorded is addressed in the current code. No blocking risk remains.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(server): resend unaccepted Codex and ACP requests after restart" follows conventional commit form and names the main change. The changeset adds provider-input acceptance tracking (inputRecordedAt) and resends the original request after restart when the source input is unconfirmed, for Codex and ACP Registry runs. The title matches the summary and objectives, so it is related to the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem (a restart replaces an unaccepted request with a bare continuation, with issue #26384 linked), the change (acceptance tracking for Codex and ACP, resend logic, and preservation through usage and terminal updates), and verification (focused test runs, the check:changed results, and the live-provider Codex reproduction referenced in the earlier comment). It does not follow the template's Scope section structure exactly, since it does not explicitly say the change is a bug fix rather than a feature, although it links the issue that shows the bug. The Verification section gives observed results and states what was not checked. The description is mostly complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#26384] Requirement: when the source run has no provider turn with recorded input, or the native thread lacks the user message, the restart continuation must resend the original message. The whole-PR diff (merge base a5d21a3 to head dd79155) implements this. RestartBackgroundNote.ts adds restartSourceInputUnrecorded, which returns true when no provider turn in the source attempt chain has non-null inputRecordedAt. It adds isRestartResendContinuation for the continuation check. RestartContinuation.ts resends the source user message, with its attachments and context, for unsettled Codex or ACP Registry runs when that check is true. Otherwise it keeps CONTINUE_PROMPT. restartContinuationRun lets a Codex run with no provider-turn records pass the live-turn check, so the pre-first-response restart reaches this path. CodexAdapterV2.ts sets inputRecordedAt from the root user-message item. Tests in RestartContinuation.test.ts, RestartBackgroundNote.test.ts, and OrchestratorReplayRecovery.integration.test.ts cover the resend path, the recorded-input path, and the pre-turn Codex restart. Residual uncertainty: when a run has restartCancelledBackgroundWork and no provider turn, note.settled can be true and the resend is skipped. The issue repro (first message, no response, no background work) does not hit this path. I did not run the tests in this review. The live Codex reproduction in the PR comments is consistent with the code but was not re-run here.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed areas serve restart input recovery for Codex and ACP. CodexAdapterV2.ts records inputRecordedAt and keeps token usage through updateRunningProviderTurn. ProjectionStore.ts and orchestrationV2Projection.ts (server and client-runtime) keep inputRecordedAt on partial provider-turn updates, as they already did for tokenUsage. contracts/orchestrationV2.ts adds the optional inputRecordedAt field and the mergeProviderTurnInputRecordedAt helper these paths need. ProviderTurnStartService.ts routes restart-resend continuations as prompted continuations and enables context delivery for them. provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts records the ACP acceptance signal, which the issue's expected behavior and the PR objectives extend to ACP agents. The issue names only Codex, but this is connected work on the same recovery path. EffectWorker.test.ts adds a fixture field only. The documented legacy trade-off (absent field treated as possibly accepted) is a stated behavior of this change. No unrelated feature change is identified.

2324-2324: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Heavy lift

Avoid a row read for every token-usage update.

Codex token-usage updates supply tokenUsage but omit inputRecordedAt. This condition now reads and decodes the existing row for every such update, including updates that previously needed only an upsert. Preserve the timestamp in the SQL conflict update instead, so this notification path does not add a database round trip. As per coding guidelines, “Make sure all changes are considerate of performance impact.”

Verified in a real dev environment

verified head 628147266014051fe76875877528aa89ecfa9d84 as-is on a disposable linux vm. no code changes or pushes.

installed dependencies on github/main (7195b699547b538e49f758e314dde5c8c5d907cf) and the exact pr head. ran one isolated dev server at a time. used playwright from the repo with /usr/bin/google-chrome, a real git project created through the app, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local provider proxy. no mocks, fixtures, or demo data.

  • reproduced on main: held a real UserPromptSubmit hook after the provider turn started and before input recording, then crashed and restarted the dev environment. codex's saved history lacked the request. the resumed response was "i'll follow these instructions for the session." instead of the requested RESTART_INPUT_26861.
  • passed on the pr: repeated the same prompt and interruption. recovery resent the original prompt, codex returned RESTART_INPUT_26861, and the continuation completed. inputRecordedAt survived token-usage and terminal updates.
  • normal follow-up returned FOLLOWUP_OK_26861.
  • restart after confirmed input retained native continuation (Continue where you left off.). the interrupted command's start counter remained 1 and codex returned NEIGHBOR_OK_26861.

short runtime transcript

main loses the unrecorded request after restart

pr recovers the same request and returns the requested marker

recording expands the actual recovery prompts and shows both neighboring results

blacksmith: 78 focused tests passed across restart continuation, background-note handling, replay recovery, and the client projection reducer. vp run check:changed github/main passed on blacksmith: format, lint, both knip passes, graphql, typechecks for 35 affected packages, and 301 tests in 9 files. existing github ci is green.

Not verified

native desktop, ios/android, windows/macos, other providers, attachments/context envelopes, goal continuations, repeated-restart chains, and pre-turn compaction were not exercised live. the reproduced window used a real prompt hook. the earlier window before any provider turn exists was not exercised. the recording shows recovery details and neighboring results; the crash sequence is documented in the transcript and before/after captures.

An ACP agent can start and finish a tool before it writes any text, so
restart recovery resent a request whose action had already run. A new
root tool_call now counts as acceptance; updates to earlier tools still
do not.

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

Turns from servers that predate acceptance tracking have no
inputRecordedAt, which read as unconfirmed, so the first restart after
upgrading resent requests that may already have run. Adapters now stamp
inputRecordedAt as null when they create a turn, and restart recovery
resends only when every turn in the chain is explicitly unconfirmed;
turns without the field keep the cautious continuation prompt.

ACP v2 starts a tool with its first tool_call_update, so a pending or
in-progress update for a tool the session has not seen before now also
confirms the prompt. Updates to earlier tools still do not.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:

  • Permanent blocker: the supplied reproduction requires a signed-in Codex provider with a blocking UserPromptSubmit hook; ChatGPT OAuth is explicitly unavailable on this VM. Generic ACP replay cannot establish Codex hook timing, native history, or empty native-resume behavior.
  • Unaccepted ACP request recovery, attachment/context preservation, recovery before a provider turn exists, and confirmed-request native continuation were not exercised in the real app.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
