Problem

Sometimes Stop finds a run stalled: the provider never reports the turn's end, or the provider session is already gone. Stop then settles the run itself. If that run was waiting on an approval or a question, Stop cancels the runtime request and interrupts the request's node, but it leaves the approval or question card at waiting. Nothing ever closes it afterwards. The thread then holds an approval card that still reads as open, even though its request is cancelled and can't be answered. t3_thread_read, the guest view and the timeline's work-row grouping all see that card as waiting.

Real data shows this happening. In one developer database, all 18 requests cancelled with "The run was interrupted." have their node interrupted and their card still waiting.

Change

settleInterruptedRun now reads the run's waiting approval_request / user_input_request cards and passes them into the cascade that already interrupts the run's nodes and message items. The card now settles together with its request and node. Its callers load only tool and message items, so the cards need this one indexed read. The change follows what every sibling path already does, closing the request, its node and its card together: provider session release (ProviderSessionManager.writeReleasedRuntimeRequestEvents), turn-end question dismissal (ProviderEventIngestor.dismissNativeUserInputs), and the adapters' own cancellations.

Scope and approval

Very small, focused fix for an obvious bug, so no prior issue: the same Stop that cancels the request and interrupts its node forgets the card, unlike every other place that withdraws a request. 17 non-test lines.

Overlap: I checked the open approval-lifecycle PRs, and none touches settleInterruptedRun. #22023 withdraws approvals when the provider reports turn end, in the ingestor. #22982 cancels approval-blocked tool items at run finalization. #25033 stops adapter acknowledgements from overwriting answers. #26842 keeps steering from cancelling requests.

Verification

  • Red on main: I extended the existing Stop recovers a stalled run after returned-interrupt case in BackgroundWorkStop.integration.test.ts with a pending command approval. Its request, node and card are shaped like CodexAdapterV2's buildApprovalRequestArtifacts output. On main it fails with actual: [ 'cancelled', 'interrupted', 'waiting' ], expected: [ 'cancelled', 'interrupted', 'interrupted' ], matching the real data above.
  • Green: vp test run src/orchestration-v2/BackgroundWorkStop.integration.test.ts 12/12 passed. Orchestrator.control-reads, ThreadStop, EffectWorker, RestartContinuation, SteeringCompletion.integration and DelegatedCompletionDelivery passed 183/183.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and tests all passed.
  • Not checked: a live provider run, and a stall on the provider side is hard to trigger on purpose. Cards left waiting by earlier versions stay as they are, because this changes behaviour only for new stops.

Walkthrough

Interrupted-run settlement now loads waiting approval and user-input requests and includes them in the terminalization cascade. An integration test checks approval request, node, and turn-item states after Stop. A Codex adapter test title and fixture formatting also change.

settleInterruptedRun loads waiting approval and user-input request items and passes them to the cascade. The integration test checks that the approval request is cancelled and its node and turn item are interrupted. The Codex test title now describes waiting for native turn start before Stop; its fixture values are unchanged.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review a70ff

Stop on a stalled run now also closes its waiting approval and question cards. The change is small and has test coverage for the approval case. No merge-blocking risk was found. Cards stranded by earlier versions are not repaired.

Explanation

The title names the primary change: Stop on a stalled run now closes the approval and question cards. It matches the summary, which adds a read of waiting approval and user-input cards to settleInterruptedRun. The title follows the conventional commit form and is specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each contains specific content. The Problem section explains the stranded waiting cards and gives real data. The Change section names the function and the sibling paths it matches. The Scope section explains why no issue is linked and lists overlapping PRs. The Verification section gives a red-then-green test record, the commands run, and what was not checked. The template asks for a linked issue for bug fixes. The author gives a reason for omitting one, which the template allows for small obvious fixes, so this is a minor gap at most. The description also gives the agent model and harness, as the template asks.

Cover a waiting question card in the stalled-run Stop table.

Add a user_input_request variant beside the existing approval fixture, using the same three-record fixture shape. Add it to the existing table and assert runtime request "cancelled", node "interrupted", and turn item "interrupted" after thread.stop.

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified on linux with the real dev web client, repo playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, and codex gpt-6.1-sol. projects, threads, approvals, and questions were created through the app. no mock provider, fixtures, or database writes.

  • reproduced on github/main (8b44f42b14c8) and the original pr head (55e9861f98de): start a supervised mkdir -p /tmp/t3-stop-card-proof, pause only this dev server's codex app-server with SIGSTOP, then click stop. after the 15-second interrupt timeout, the run says interrupted while the approval remains waiting and still offers approve/decline.
  • fixed the live-path gap in 7f538a0d3b55 and 21f213ce48e1, pushed to this pr's existing head. codex's error cleanup had treated cancellation of the timed-out interrupt as a terminal turn. it now preserves the running turn on pure fiber interruption, so force stop can reach this pr's request/card cleanup. protocol failures retain their existing cleanup. cancelled stop attempts also retain running-command records, so a later native interrupted terminal closes the command card and repeated stop retains process ids.
  • repeated the same real approval flow: stop exposes force stop, then force stop removes the waiting approval and its action buttons. repeated with a real plan-mode request_user_input question; its choices also close.
  • neighboring behavior: a subsequent supervised command was approved in the UI and completed with exit status 0. a separate question answered beta reached codex, which replied beta. a healthy running sleep 120 was stopped through the UI; both its run and command card projected interrupted. the first follow-up after force stop briefly hit the old paused provider's conversation lock; retry succeeded after that process released it.

read-only projection queries immediately after force stop:

kind        request_status  node_status  type                card_status
command     cancelled       interrupted  approval_request    interrupted
user_input  cancelled       interrupted  user_input_request  interrupted

extended an existing adapter test: it failed before the adapter fix (interrupted instead of the later native completed) and passed afterwards. the cancelled-interrupted command variant also failed before command-tracking preservation (only running instead of running then interrupted) and passed afterwards. vp run check:changed 8b44f42b14c8e273156474a924ccf29680dd7857 passed through blacksmith-check: format, lint, knip, graphql, typechecks for 3 packages, and 172 tests across 5 files. the explicit base was needed because the remote worker starts with shallow history.

main after stop:

main leaves approval waiting after interrupt

updated pr after force stop, with the same command and prompt:

updated pr closes the approval after force stop

real stop timeout then force stop closes the approval

real question choices close after force stop

Not verified

native ios/android, the electron shell, macos/windows, other providers, remote/relay/tunnel connections, and a naturally occurring provider stall. the stall here was induced by pausing the real task-owned provider process. this does not repair cards stranded by earlier versions.

Major · Include Codex child-thread question cards in Stop settlement. · Orchestrator.ts:10669-10676

apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts:10669-10676
Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Include Codex child-thread question cards in Stop settlement.

A reachable Codex subagent stores its user_input_request on the child thread with a null run ID. settleInterruptedRun queries only the root thread and run.id, and its runtime-request cleanup has the same run-ID restriction. The child terminal path closes commands and dynamic tools, not the waiting question card. If the provider reports an interrupted or failed child terminal without releasing the provider session, the card and pending request can remain waiting and actionable after Stop.

Load waiting question cards and their requests for run-owned child threads, including null run IDs, or persist the parent run ownership when the card is created. The separate provider-session release cleanup does not cover this Stop path.

The native child-thread gap is real in the existing background Stop cleanup: a runless child question has a separate execution node, so ending the child root leaves its request/node/card pending/waiting/waiting. I reproduced that on current main and opened the independent follow-up #31347. It cancels those requests during recursive Stop cleanup and preserves user-run questions on the same thread. All 12 Stop integration tests and check:changed (30 tests plus scoped checks) pass. This does not claim to cover every child terminal-event path without Stop; no live native-provider proof was captured.

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

the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.

On each commit: set default permissions to Supervised; create the same synthetic project; start an approval replay thread; open it directly; capture the pending approval; click Stop; wait for Force stop and click it; capture the interrupted run and check approval actions are absent. Repeat with the question recording and check Submit is absent. Both sides passed. Approval summaries read 'Ran 1 command and used 1 tool' on both; question summaries read 'Input requested' on both. No differing model-generated assistant messages were involved.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
