Problem

If the server's disk fills while a run is still preparing its workspace, the run stays in preparing permanently. Freeing space does not help: the thread keeps showing as working, queued follow-up messages never run, and only a server restart clears it (startup recovery cancels the run). #28028 has the reproduction.

When preparation fails, ThreadLaunchService records the failure with a single prepared-run.fail dispatch. On a full disk that write fails as well, and the error was only logged. Nothing else moves a run out of preparing.

Change

Keep retrying that write, with backoff capped at 30 seconds, until storage recovers or the run settles some other way (for example the user stops it). This is the same policy RunExecutionService already applies to failures after a run has started (#19646). The retry stays in the background preparation fiber and retains its reservation, so replay cannot restart preparation during recovery and server shutdown still stops it.

This PR previously carried a different change (settling idle Codex turns after a missed turn/completed). That turned out not to explain the incident: Codex emits idle and turn/completed from the same handler, and the stall was caused by a full disk. The earlier head is kept at commit 5dee31f (branch archive/codex-missed-terminal), and the earlier comments and live verification on this PR refer to that change, not this one.

Scope and approval

One focused reliability fix in ThreadLaunchService and its existing test file. The linked issue supplies the failure evidence and proposed fix for maintainers to assess; it is not a claim of prior maintainer approval.

Verification

vp run check:changed 4adb946ae77cd291804d864d0404d68ecfeb8cd9 passed through blacksmith-check: format, lint, both knip passes, graphql, affected typechecks, and 67 tests. both independent reviewers approved beba834b2ad5e821b41deb0e913caa5107723e5f. github checks have no failures or pending jobs; optional platform and deployment jobs were skipped. github reports clean mergeability. the old pagination bot findings refer to code no longer in this pr; both threads are resolved.

the real app recovered on a full 256 mib tmpfs. a synchronous setup script waited outside the data disk, then exited with 1 after the disk filled. worktrees were outside the tmpfs and sqlite's wal was checkpointed before filling it, ensuring the failure write needed disk space. no application source or database rows were changed for this reproduction.

02:45:03 utc  tmpfs full; setup fails
02:45:03.788  prepared-run.fail persistence fails: database or disk is full
               run 1: preparing; follow-up run 2: queued
02:46:11      space freed
               run 1 settles failed; queued follow-up runs and completes
02:47:05      run 1: failed; run 2: completed; no active run
               server pid 27994 unchanged throughout recovery

the browser shows the settled failure, retry control, and completed follow-up from the free replay provider. normal replay turns also completed. native mobile, electron, other operating systems, and relay/tunnel were not exercised; no client or provider adapter code changed.

full disk: preparation remains pending and the follow-up is queued

space restored: preparation settles and the queued follow-up completes

Fixes #28028

original change: Claude Fable 5.2 through Claude Code in T3 Code. takeover and verification: gpt-6.1-sol through Codex in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 43ccc5b

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Recovers Codex turns left active after missed completion events by checking the provider’s terminal state after an idle notification. Matching-turn checks, bounded requests and existing serialized settlement keep the recovery narrowly scoped.

Walkthrough

CodexAdapterV2 now checks paginated native turn history after a thread reports idle. It routes a matching terminal turn through shared handling. Replay tests cover reconciliation outcomes, goal recovery, completion during the history read, and capacity-failure scenarios.

Changes: Idle-thread recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared terminal-turn handling
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts
Terminal-turn processing moves to handleTerminalTurn. It retains status mapping, interruption adjustment, capacity-retry handling, and finalization.
Idle-thread reconciliation and coverage
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts
When a thread becomes idle, the adapter waits one second and pages through native turns. It skips reconciliation when a capacity retry is pending and routes a matching terminal turn through shared handling. Tests cover reconciliation outcomes, paginated goal recovery, completion during the history read, and capacity-failure replay.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 5dee3

The change recovers turns that stay active when Codex's completion notification is missed. The one remaining concern is minor: a malformed repeated pagination cursor could cause redundant history reads for up to ten seconds before a warning is logged. Fresh CI and a live replay of the current head should still pass before merging.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #28028 requires recovery when Codex reports a thread idle and turn/completed is missed. The whole-PR diff at head 5dee31f implements each requirement in CodexAdapterV2.ts:

  • Idle handling: a thread/status/changed handler acts only on status.type === "idle" and selects active contexts for the native thread.
  • Grace period: Effect.sleep("1 second") runs before any read.
  • Context check: the lookup stops if capacityRetryPending is set or the active context changed.
  • Exact match: thread/turns/list is requested with itemsView: "notLoaded" and paged by nextCursor; only turn.id === context.nativeTurnId is used.
  • Terminal only: a result with status === "inProgress" is ignored.
  • Shared deadline: Effect.timeout("10 seconds") wraps the whole paging loop.
  • Outside the reader: the work is forked with Effect.forkIn(scope).
  • Existing paths: the terminal result goes through the extracted handleTerminalTurn, which keeps compaction restore, interruption mapping, retryCapacityFailure, and finalizeCodexTurn.
  • Normal completion: a turn/completed during the grace period settles the turn first, so the re-check returns before any read.
    The older goal turn behind a newer orphan continuation is covered by paging through history until the exact turn is found. The test file adds replay cases for completed, failed, interrupted, in-progress, different latest turn, grace-period completion, and the paged goal regression, as described in the PR. I did not rerun tests. Test results are taken from the PR description and are not independently confirmed. Live verification and hosted CI on the current head are not confirmed; they are not required to establish code compliance.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts and its test file CodexAdapterV2.test.ts. The adapter change extracts the existing turn/completed logic into handleTerminalTurn without changing its behavior, and adds the idle reconciliation handler. Both serve issue #28028. The test changes add replay cases for that recovery and extend capacity-retry fixtures with idle notifications, which protects the existing retry behavior. The Node Crypto test-layer change mentioned in the PR description supports the recovery test fixtures. No unrelated product, provider, or administrative change is identified. I did not inspect the full test-file diff, so the scope of that file rests on the change summary.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(server): runs no longer stay preparing after a full disk" matches the main change in the changeset. The description says the fix retries the failed prepared-run.fail write with capped backoff in ThreadLaunchService, so a run no longer stays in preparing when the disk is full. The title is a conventional commit in plain language and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. The raw summary describes Codex adapter reconciliation changes (CodexAdapterV2.ts and its test), which the title does not mention. The PR objectives describe a different Codex idle-turn settlement PR. These mismatches suggest the provided context may not match this PR's actual changeset, but the title itself is accurate for the description's stated change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states a clear problem (full disk leaves a run stuck in preparing), a specific change (capped-backoff retry of the prepared-run.fail write in ThreadLaunchService), a scope statement tied to the linked issue, and detailed verification (check run output, a full-disk reproduction with timestamps, and screenshots). It follows the template's Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and it names the model and harness used. The description also explains that an earlier Codex-related change was replaced, which keeps the context clear. Minor gaps: the Scope section calls the change a bug fix for an obvious case and links the issue, which is adequate. Overall it is mostly complete.

merged current main without rebasing and preserved both test harness additions. fixed one review finding: failure persistence now retains the preparation reservation, preventing a replay during backoff from starting another preparation that the old retry could fail. the extended existing test failed before this fix (two preparations instead of one) and passes after it.

Cover capacity retry when the completion notification is missing.

The capacity replay sends turn/completed after idle. It does not test retry from a failed history turn. Add a case to the capacity replay that returns serverOverloaded from thread/turns/list without a prior error notification. Assert that the adapter starts a retry instead of terminalizing the run.

Leaving the additional capacity-history replay as optional coverage. On afd2432c, idle reconciliation passes the recovered turn unchanged to handleTerminalTurn, which reads turn.error.codexErrorInfo and calls retryCapacityFailure before finalization. That path does not require an earlier error notification. Existing replays cover failed history recovery and capacity retry separately; this review identifies no failing behavior, so I am keeping this patch focused without adding another combination test.

The two currently passing checks are CodeRabbit and Vercel. Fresh build/test checks and live verification of the merged head remain outstanding, as Maria documented.

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 reproduction requires a real Codex app-server with authenticated ChatGPT access; first-party ChatGPT OAuth is explicitly unavailable on these VMs. The brief prohibits attempting workarounds for unavailable providers.
  • The base remaining Working with a queued follow-up, the head recovering from the dropped completion notification, and naturally occurring notification loss remain unverified.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

Clarifying the historical evidence: Maria's earlier live report verified a real Codex app-server/model replay on d778fe3: deliberately dropping one genuine completion notification left the base Working with a queued follow-up, while that PR head recovered and ran the follow-up. The report includes transport timings and media. It is evidence for the earlier head, not fresh verification of 5dee31f.

Fresh authenticated provider/client verification of the current head remains outstanding. Naturally occurring notification loss also remains unproven; the existing reproduction deliberately injected the loss. This clarification does not remove the pipeline's current access blocker or claim merge approval.

When workspace preparation fails, the launch service records the failure
with one prepared-run.fail dispatch. On a full disk that write fails too
and was only logged, so the run stayed "preparing" and held the thread's
queue until a server restart, even after space was freed.

Retry the write with capped backoff until storage recovers or the run
settles another way, matching what run execution already does for
failures after a run has started.

This PR now carries a different fix. The branch was force-pushed to bba28a2, and the title, description and #28028 were rewritten to match.

Why the old change was dropped. It settled Codex turns after an idle status with no turn/completed. Codex emits both from the same handler (codex-rs/app-server/src/bespoke_event_handling.rs, EventMsg::TurnComplete), so that state does not arise from Codex itself, and the only reproduction dropped the notification on purpose. The incident behind the issue was caused by a full disk.

What was reproduced instead. On main at 97cfc07759f, with the server's data directory on a full 256 MB tmpfs, a run created during the outage stayed preparing for 4 minutes after space was freed, a follow-up stayed queued, and only a restart cleared it. The preparation failure is recorded by one prepared-run.fail dispatch in ThreadLaunchService.failPreparedRun; that write failed too and was only logged.

What the new change does. It retries that write with backoff capped at 30 seconds until storage recovers or the run leaves preparing, the same policy RunExecutionService uses after a run has started. A new test times out on 97cfc07759f and passes with the fix; vp run check:changed upstream/main passes.

Limits. The fix was not re-run against a real full disk, because landing in the preparation window is timing-dependent; six further attempts hit the mid-stream path, which already recovers, or were rejected at launch. Earlier comments, reviews and the live Codex verification on this PR refer to the old change, kept at Alb11747/t3code@5dee31f (branch archive/codex-missed-terminal).
