fix(server): preserve inherited fork history in handoffs after rewind - #30044
A new fork can lose inherited history from portable handoffs after its source is rewound. Caller-supplied fork times can also include discarded runs. The history a fork inherits should stay fixed when it is committed.
Change
Commit source-run membership with the new fork's thread.created projection and preserve it on reapplication. Full history, activity timelines, bounded reads, shell counts, and portable handoffs use the same membership. Existing paging and materialized-count optimizations remain.
Migration 86 only adds the nullable membership column. Historical forks keep the existing timestamp fallback; pruned lifecycle events cannot establish complete membership, so there is no guessed backfill. No landed migration is modified.
Scope
Remaining handoff/history stability work related to #30030 and the repeated-rewind limitation in #29695. The original timeline fix already landed in #34823 and remains intact. Server-only: provider adapters and client contracts are unchanged.
Verification
Red/green regressions cover handoff history after rewind, backdated fork creation, and the original migration's unsafe reconstruction from pruned events.
131 focused tests passed; check:changed passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL generation, affected typechecks, and 163 tests (11 files) on final head 178165ce883e.
Real web client with free Replay verified that a fork retains both inherited replies after source rewind and that its persisted portable handoff contains the retained history. Replay does not prove a live model's recall. No native mobile, remote/tunnel, or paid provider pass was run. scenarios:prove was not run because this task forbade another checkout; focused red/green tests and the integrated client pass supplied proof.
Proof and independent approval cover 57a0bf8233ea; the clean rebase to 4c0b35944b07 on aa37097093a1 has a byte-identical patch. Migration 86 remains after 85. Independent verification also passed 65 focused tests and isolated SQLite checks.
CI exposed two stale preview-upgrade migration lists ending at 85. Finalization adds only the expected migration-86 row to each list; the production patch remains byte-identical to the approved patch. Both preview regressions failed locally before this expectation correction; the preview/membership suites then passed all 6 tests. The independent approval remains applicable to the production diff; these two expected rows were checked during finalization.

Walkthrough
Forks now persist the source run IDs eligible for inherited history. Projection, timeline, snapshot, shell-count, and handoff-history reads use that membership. Migration 81 backfills membership for existing forks.
Migration 81 adds fork_run_ids_json and reconstructs membership for existing forks. Tests cover fork boundaries, rollback ordering, missing runs, root threads, and repeat migration behavior.

Explanation
The title "fix(server): preserve inherited fork history in handoffs after rewind" matches the main change. The changeset records source-run membership for forks so inherited history stays fixed after a source rewind, and portable handoffs use that membership. The title names the server scope, the fix type, and the handoff/rewind context. It does not mention the membership mechanism or the migration, which is acceptable for a title.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (forks losing inherited history after source rewind, and caller-supplied fork times including discarded runs), the change (committing source-run membership with the fork's thread.created projection, plus migration 86 that adds a nullable column with no guessed backfill), scope (related to #30030 and #29695, server-only), and verification (red/green regressions, 131 focused tests, check:changed, a runtime transcript, and a Replay-based web client check with stated limits). It follows the template's section structure. Minor gaps: the title is not visible in the provided text, the Problem section does not give explicit reproduction steps, and the verification section cites a migration number (86) that differs from the migration number in the raw summary (81), which should be reconciled. The description also contains a reference to a transcript link and a reviewer-loop note that are fine to keep. Overall the description is mostly complete.

Keeping the existing regression for the repeated-rewind case. sourceRun2Id is discarded before laterForkId is created; sourceRun3Id is completed at fork creation and discarded afterward. Its 300 items must stay inherited, while run 2's messages must stay absent. The 303-row assertions deliberately check that distinction across projection, timeline, bounded snapshot, and shell counts before and after the second rewind. This test fails on #29695 specifically after that second rewind.
The newly linked browser captures independently confirm the same behavior with real Codex Luna turns: the later fork retains alpha/charlie after rewinding charlie in the source, and the earlier control fork retains alpha/bravo. The head remains 86f541a177; only verification evidence was added to the PR description.

Use a server-owned persisted ordering boundary for fork history.
thread.fork accepts a caller-supplied createdAt, and the new filter treats that wall-clock value as the ordering boundary. A skewed value can make an already rolled-back run appear in inherited history or make a later rollback remove history that existed when the fork was created. The strict millisecond comparison has the same failure when fork creation and a later rollback receive equal timestamps.
Store a server-owned persisted order marker when the fork is committed, and compare rollback order against that marker in all of these readers. Preserve the existing timestamp behavior for historical forks that do not have the new marker.

reproduced on github/main (cefb544af3) in a separate worktree: send alpha/bravo, fork a control, rewind bravo, send charlie, fork again, rewind charlie. the later fork resurrected bravo; its first provider continuation recalled only alpha.
on this head, the later fork contains alpha/charlie before and after the second source rewind and reload. its first continuation, started only after that rewind, uses a context handoff and recalls exactly alpha, charlie without those tokens in the question.
the earlier control fork keeps alpha/bravo and its first continuation recalls exactly alpha, bravo.
restarted the dev server with copied isolated dev state. both forks persist, source contains only alpha, and another real turn in the later fork still returns alpha, charlie.

native electron, ios/android, other providers, and remote/relay/tunnel connections were not exercised on this linux web pass. cancelled queued prompts were covered by the existing focused tests, not a real-provider queue scenario. caller-supplied clock skew and equal-millisecond fork/rewind ordering raised in the discussion were not exercised; this pass proves the sequential web-client flow.

Real web client, Chromium, light theme, 1280×800 CSS viewport; fresh isolated servers and synthetic replay turns. Create alpha/bravo, fork bravo as control, replace source bravo with charlie, fork charlie, rewind source charlie, reload both forks, then continue the later fork through a portable handoff.
Persisted portable handoff history: base contains alpha only; head contains alpha/charlie without bravo. Replay replies are prerecorded; the transferred history was verified directly.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
A live provider's memory answer was not verified because replay replies are prerecorded; the real portable handoff executed and its persisted history confirmed alpha only on base versus alpha/charlie on head.
Migration backfill for pre-existing forks was not exercised; both runs used fresh synthetic databases.

fix(server): keep fork history stable across repeated source rewinds
fix(server): preserve inherited fork history in handoffs after rewind
Nov 12, 2026
The persisted-order concern is addressed in 4c0b35944b07: new forks commit exact source-run membership in the event projection transaction, and history readers and portable handoffs share it. Reapplying creation after a source rewind preserves that membership. The backdated-fork and repeated-rewind regressions cover the clock-ordering failure.
The earlier migration backfill was removed. Migration 86 adds only a nullable column; historical forks retain the timestamp fallback rather than freezing an incomplete reconstruction from pruned events. The migration regression and SQLite runtime/reopen proof verify that boundary history remains available. The description now uses the repository template and identifies this remaining scope separately from merged #34823.
CI then found two stale expected migration lists in the preview-upgrade tests. 178165ce883e adds only migration 86 to those lists. Both assertions reproduced locally before the correction; the preview/membership suites now pass 6 tests and check:changed passes all gates with 163 tests. The production patch is unchanged from the independently approved implementation.

Problem
A new fork can lose inherited history from portable handoffs after its source is rewound. Caller-supplied fork times can also include discarded runs. The history a fork inherits should stay fixed when it is committed.
Change
Commit source-run membership with the new fork's
thread.createdprojection and preserve it on reapplication. Full history, activity timelines, bounded reads, shell counts, and portable handoffs use the same membership. Existing paging and materialized-count optimizations remain.Migration 86 only adds the nullable membership column. Historical forks keep the existing timestamp fallback; pruned lifecycle events cannot establish complete membership, so there is no guessed backfill. No landed migration is modified.
Scope
Remaining handoff/history stability work related to #30030 and the repeated-rewind limitation in #29695. The original timeline fix already landed in #34823 and remains intact. Server-only: provider adapters and client contracts are unchanged.
Verification
