Problem

When Grok loses its ACP connection during a prompt, transport errors and EOF can be recorded as provider_error. An active prompt can also fail with AcpProcessExitedError when the Grok process exits; that error was classified the same way.

Change

Recognize AcpTransportError, AcpInputStreamEndedError and AcpProcessExitedError as transport_error. Raw transport/EOF failures get a fixed retry message; process exits retain the shared formatter's safe exit-code diagnostics and retry guidance. Existing request-error and rate-limit classification, and retry policy, keep their behavior.

Scope and approval

This is a small focused obvious-bug fix at an existing error translation boundary. It adds no retries, settings, contracts or client-specific behavior. The same terminal failure reaches web, desktop, mobile, remote clients and delegated runs.

#25693 concerns ACP process-exit diagnostics and stderr retention, not transport-error classification in Grok's prompt mapper. #29800 concerns one-shot Grok text generation. Earlier investigation found no exact match for this Grok mapper change.

Verification

The existing failure-classification case covers all three connection error types. The process-exit assertion fails on the prior PR head b06f0e6c43 with only the class differing; the existing safe message remains unchanged. Private stderr is absent from the reported failure.

AcpProcessExitedError(code=1):
  before: provider_error
  after:  transport_error
  safe exit-code/retry message preserved
  private stderr omitted; retryable remains null

• Docker, Node 26.13.0; PR merge base b690f08cbf2b.
• vp run check:changed upstream/main --concurrency 1: passed format, lint, both knip passes, GraphQL generation, all 10 affected/dependent package typechecks, and 12 tests across the Grok adapter and required agent-context cases.

No live Grok turn or interactive client was used. Selecting a Grok model in Cursor uses a different adapter.

Council review

Rounds: 2

Delegate	Round 1	Round 2
Claude Opus 5.5	9/10	9/10
GPT-6.1 Sol	9/10	9/10
Grok 4.7 (Cursor)	9/10	no score on failed attempt; retry 9/10

All three approved resubmission. Round 2 refined description wording only; source stayed unchanged. Grok's initial second-round attempt ended with Premature close; the same-model retry completed successfully.

Implemented with GPT-6.1 Sol through the Codex harness in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at e353b10

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Grok connection failures now receive a transport-error classification and clear retry guidance. The change is limited to failure reporting, with existing request-error and rate-limit handling preserved.

Walkthrough

The Grok adapter now classifies ACP transport, input-stream-ended, and process-exited errors as transport_error. Tests verify retry messaging, process-exit guidance, and omission of private diagnostics.

Changes: Grok transport error classification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Map and verify transport errors packages/provider-grok/src/server/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/GrokAdapterV2.test.ts	The adapter maps ACP connection errors to transport_error. It adds a retry message for transport and input-stream-ended errors, but not process-exited errors. Tests check the process exit code and server-log guidance, and verify that private diagnostics are omitted.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 34c8a

Grok connection failures such as transport errors, ended streams and process exits are now reported as transport errors with retry or exit guidance and without private diagnostics. The change is narrow and tested, and no merge-blocking risk was found.

Explanation

The title names the main change: Grok prompt connection failures are now classified as transport errors. It follows the conventional commit form and matches the raw summary and PR objectives. The title is concise and specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely: it has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, a conventional-style problem statement, and a clear explanation of the fix. The Scope section explains why no issue is linked, and it cites related PRs (#25693, #29800) for context. Verification gives focused tests, the observed before/after classification for AcpProcessExitedError, and the checks that ran. It also states what was not checked (no live Grok turn, no interactive client). The PR title is not in the description body, and the Change section does not name the retry message exactly as the template expects, but these are minor. The description is detailed and substantially complete.
